Chapter 150: The Pretender
Not only Hong Xuanji, but Yuan Fei was also puzzled.
Even shocked.
Because the Imperial Blade Intent was not something an ordinary person could comprehend; either someone who had been an emperor, or a hero with ambition and the world in his heart could possibly do it.
When did Bai Ziyue know such a person?
Although puzzled, seeing Bai Ziyue leave safely, Yuan Fei also quietly retreated.
Not long after Yuan Fei retreated, Hong Xuanji looked at the position where she left and said coldly: "Monster! If you dare to cause chaos in the harem, I will surely kill you."
………
"Yin Qi, it's you!"
Bai Ziyue was shocked, feeling his brain wasn't enough.
He remembered that before the year, Yin Qi was only at the Innate Peak, and even with great talent, he was at most a Marrow Refining Grandmaster.
But now, he was actually already a Martial Saint.
And not an ordinary Martial Saint, but a Martial Saint who had comprehended the Imperial Blade Intent, actually able to face Hong Xuanji directly.
Previously, he was still thinking about which country's emperor had rushed over.
Yin Qi said: "Brother Bai, let's leave the capital first."
Bai Ziyue nodded, and the two ran wildly toward the northwest, leaving the city before the Imperial Guards could blockade the capital.
Originally wanting to head straight for Xishan, they stopped ten-plus miles west of the city.
Because someone blocked their way.
The blocker stood with his back to them, wearing brocade clothes and a golden crown, standing with his hands behind his back, his back broad and majestic.
Just standing there, he seemed to be the center of heaven and earth.
"Who?"
Bai Ziyue said coldly, cold light flashing in his eyes.
Having been beaten by Hong Xuanji and fleeing in a sorry state, he had a belly full of anger with nowhere to vent.
Don't look at him being romantic and unrestrained on weekdays.
But in nature, he was still a demon; wildness was rooted in his soul.
"Yang An!"
The Champion Marquis reported his name, his voice round and magnetic.
He turned around, revealing a smile he thought was very charismatic.
Only when he saw Yin Qi, this smile stiffened.
In his imagination, the person accompanying Bai Ziyue should have been Yuan Fei; he had been posing for a long time.
But who knew it was someone dressed as a eunuch.
And also wearing a mask.
However, his smile was only stiff for a moment before quickly returning to normal.
"Champion Marquis!"
Bai Ziyue's eyes narrowed, and he said with interest: "You are not guarding Qingshakou, but instead returned to the capital without permission. If the Emperor of Gan finds out, you will probably be in big trouble."
"This is the Champion Marquis, truly a copy of Long Aotian."
Yin Qi looked at the Champion Marquis with interest.
In the original work, if he hadn't met Hong Yi, this person would have been a proper protagonist template.
Created by the Immortal God King himself, soul-traversing from the highly developed Central World, he had the Pan Emperor Sword come to recognize him as its master while playing in the courtyard as a child; wherever he went, there were adventures.
Cultivation, power, beauties, fame, etc., were all within reach, especially regarding women; as long as they were good-looking, he wanted them all, mainly not being picky about anything.
The Champion Marquis smiled gently and said: "Will you tell the Emperor of Gan?"
Bai Ziyue shook his head and said: "I don't have that leisure. Champion Marquis, state your purpose."
The Champion Marquis did not rush to answer, but looked at Yin Qi and asked with a bow: "May I ask how to address this brother?"
Yin Qi used a hoarse voice: "Who I am, you don't need to know."
The Champion Marquis was not angry, showing a gentlemanly demeanor: "Brother seems to have some prejudice against this Marquis, not even willing to reveal your name. Brother Bai, this brother, I am waiting for you here, hoping you can work for me."
Bai Ziyue was stunned: "Champion Marquis, are you sure you haven't woken up? In terms of cultivation, you are only a Martial Saint, I am a Ghost Immortal, and my physical body is also a Martial Saint; you might not be able to defeat me. In terms of title, you are only a Champion Marquis, while I am a Duke."
The Champion Marquis smiled kindly, standing with his hands behind his back: "Although I am only a Champion Marquis, I control over a hundred thousand elite troops, and the industries of my Heavenly Secret Trading House are spread across various countries, while you only have the title of Duke.
In terms of cultivation, although I am only a high-level Martial Saint, becoming a Human Immortal is only a matter of time.
But how much certainty do you have that you can pass the Thunder Tribulation?
And how many Thunder Tribulations can you pass?
Of course, my foundation is not just these.
To tell you the truth, I have long been recognized as the master by the Pan Emperor Sword and am the destined Saint Emperor, the successor of the Pan Emperor.
If you pledge loyalty to me, what's wrong with me granting you a title of King when I unify the Great Thousand World in the future?
As for cultivation, helping you become a Creator at that time will not be a difficult task."
Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Yin Qi and said sincerely: "This brother, the conditions I gave Brother Bai are also suitable for you. As long as you pledge loyalty to me, I can give you everything you want in the future."
"Pan Emperor Sword!"
Bai Ziyue's pupils narrowed, his voice even trembling.
Pan Emperor, the most famous Saint Emperor of the ancient times.
In the Great Thousand World, the Pan Emperor had supreme fame, just like the Yellow Emperor on Earth.
The Pan Emperor Sword has a spirit; since it recognizes the Champion Marquis as its master, doesn't that mean the Champion Marquis is the successor of the Pan Emperor, the destiny of heaven?
Looking at the Champion Marquis's demeanor, he truly had the appearance of a Human Emperor.
Watching Bai Ziyue's changing expression, the Champion Marquis raised his head slightly, a smile on his lips.
The Pan Emperor Sword, this is an absolute killer weapon.
The Divine Eagle King, Xiao Anran, etc., were all subdued by him relying on the Pan Emperor Sword.
Otherwise, how could he have such strong charismatic personality, allowing the Divine Eagle King and the others to pledge their lives to him.
"Pfft..."
A sneer made Bai Ziyue come back to his senses.
It also made the Champion Marquis's face sink.
The Champion Marquis's gaze was like a torch, radiating majesty that made it hard for people to look directly at him, saying coldly: "What are you laughing at?"
Yin Qi chuckled: "I'm laughing at you for taking a chicken feather as an arrow, acting like a big tail wolf here. Just obtaining the Pan Emperor Sword, you boast of being destined by heaven, not knowing how pathetic you are.
What's more, let alone you only obtained the Pan Emperor Sword.
Even if the Pan Emperor were to come back to life and stand in front of me, he would not be qualified to make me pledge loyalty.
Above and below heaven, I am the only one who is supreme.
There is no one in this world who can make me pledge loyalty, and there will never be in the heavens and myriad worlds.
What are you, Champion Marquis, to deserve to say such big words in front of me."
Bai Ziyue clicked his tongue secretly.
This Brother Yin of his truly had a big mouth.
Just thinking of the Imperial Blade Intent, he was somewhat thoughtful.
If he didn't have such a big heart, encompassing the universe, he probably wouldn't have comprehended the Imperial Blade Intent.
The Champion Marquis's face was livid, a ferocious look flashing in his eyes.
Extremely angry, he could no longer maintain his gentlemanly demeanor on the surface.
From childhood to adulthood, when had he ever been insulted like this?
The Champion Marquis stared coldly at Yin Qi, his blood and qi surging, saying coldly: "I don't care who you are, I'll give you one chance now: kneel down, kowtow to admit your mistake, and recognize me as your master; I can pretend I didn't hear anything."
Yin Qi said indifferently: "And what if I don't?"
"Since you are looking for death, then I will grant your wish!"
The Champion Marquis shouted low.
He walked toward Yin Qi with big strides; with every step he took, his aura surged by a notch.
Bai Ziyue was just about to take action when he heard a sharp voice ring out.
"White Ape King, your opponent is me."
This voice carried the power of a spirit, like a knife wanting to cut a person's spirit.
Under the moonlight.
A middle-aged man with a hooked nose walked out of the darkness, his gaze as sharp as an eagle's. ===== CHAPTER 151 =====
