Chapter 1159: The Arrogance of Huang Youdi
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Although Lei Ba didn't think that Qin Wentian had the qualifications to be his opponent, there were still things Qin Wentian had to pay the price for. Qin Wentian actions back then were simply too ruthless.
What sort of status did holy maiden Chu Qingyi have? Although Chu Qingyi wasn't able to be compared to the daughter of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor, Princess Qing`er, she was still a rare beauty. In addition, everyone knew that he was wooing this Chu Qingyi, yet Qin Wentian actually forsook her after playing with her. Wouldn't everyone treat him, Lei Ba, as a joke?
In that case, Lei Ba naturally has reason to believe that Qin Wentian was hiding from him, not daring to face off against him. If not, why did Qin Wentian not appear for so many years after the four sacred academies connected? Despite the four academies being very vast, it shouldn't be vast enough that Qin Wentian would overlook his, Lei Ba's, announcement via the Sky Connecting Pillars. Since this was the case, Qin Wentian would be able to find him if he wanted to. But Qin Wentian didn't.
Now that Qin Wentian finally came out, his improvement was definitely not little. Maybe after seeing that his junior brother was being humiliated so badly, he had no choice but to step out.
Qin Wentian's eyes turned to Lei Ba. Those immeasurable deep eyes of his seemed to be able to penetrate through space, ripping Lei Ba apart. In those years back then, when Chu Qingyi implicated Jun Mengchen, he could still find a trace of reason for her actions. However, the person who acted was none other than Lei Ba and the reason he acted was simply because he was fond of Chu Qingyi, wanting to take action for her. In his eyes, there never has been Qin Wentian.
Huang Youdi clearly had no regards for him as well. This was why both Lei Ba and Huang Youdi dared to act so arrogantly.
Qin Wentian's eyes then turned and landed on Jun Mengchen as he spoke, "Senior brother has implicated you."
Jun Mengchen laughed carefreely, not minding it at all. His nature was as such, he naturally wouldn't assume that the reason he was targeted was because his senior brother had implicated him. Such thinking was truly disgraceful.
"Senior brother it's good that you've come. Some people are truly too arrogant." Jun Mengchen spoke, summarizing the whole matter simply for Qin Wentian. Huang Youdi and Lei Ba both patiently waited and watched by the side, nobody obstructed Jun Mengchen from speaking because they want to ensure that Qin Wentian knew of this. If Qin Wentian knew nothing, how would they humiliate him?
After he finished listening to Jun Mengchen, Huang Youdi actually saw that Qin Wentian was still smiling. He then calmly continued, "Since you already know what happened and know that my elder brother is interested in Princess Qing`er, you can announce to everyone now that there's no relationship between you and Princess Qing`er."
Huang Youdi's voice was as calm as ever, so calm that it felt like his words were the truth, an undeniable truth. Because, he was Huang Youdi. And also because his elder brother was interested in Princess Qing`er.
Qin Wentian narrowed his eyes and stared at Huang Youdi, he didn't exude any anger at all but it didn't mean that he wasn't angry. It was only because he suppressed his anger to another level. He didn't mind others being in love with Qing`er, this was a validation of Qing`er's beauty. Even if the other party wanted to woo Qing`er, he wouldn't have bothered as well because he knew it was useless. However, the young man before him actually wanted him to personally make an announcement to the world that there was no relationship between him and Qing`er.
This, already couldn't be described with the words 'arrogance' and 'egotistical.' But since Huang Youdi could maintain such a straight face when making this demand, one could see what his personality was like.
Qin Wentian also noticed Huang Wudi. Back then in the Sky Connecting Realm, he had personally witnessed the battle between Jia Nantian the golden-winged great roc and Huang Wudi. Naturally, he wouldn't forget who this man was. As part of the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire, a peak power located in the Central Regions of the immortal realms, the members of the royal clan would naturally be extremely arrogant.
"Some things, you won't be able to escape them even by being silent." Huang Youdi added when he saw Qin Wentian not speaking.
"I'm not being silent, it's just that I feel this is a little unexpected." Qin Wentian finally spoke. Everyone in the surroundings stared at Qi Wentian with interest, these spectators had thought of many possibilities. Maybe Qin Wentian would grow enraged and start fighting irregardless, or maybe he would bury his killing intents in his heart and bow his head. However, right now he actually said that this was a little unexpected in such a calm tone of voice.
However at this moment, Qin Wentian then continued, "A prince of the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire is actually retarded?"
As the sound of his voice faded, the faces of everyone turned sluggish. This sentence was truly interesting, is the prince of the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire, Huang Youdi, a retard?
Naturally he isn't. Most probably, nobody would dare to think of him as one. Huang Youdi was someone with supreme talent, held in higher regards compared to Huang Wudi. How could he be a retard?
"Interesting." After being stunned for a moment, Huang Youdi suddenly laughed. However, his eyes gave off a feeling that caused others to feel a chill in their hearts.
"Interesting? Is it?" Qin Wentian continued, "Everyone in the Eastern Regions knows about the relationship between me and Qing`er. I even once held Qing`er's hands in public and announced our relationship to the whole world. She is the woman I love, and Qing`er naturally is also in love with me. Yet, you who is a prince from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire actually wants me to announce that there's no relationship between me and Qing`er? Other than being retarded, I truly cannot imagine why you would say such foolish words."
Huang Youdi begin laughing maniacally and so did Lei Ba.
"Your words do have some logic to them, but for things like logic, they can only be spoken if one has enough strength. If ordinary people like you wish to speak of it, it's nothing but a fool's dream. But since the person wanting you to speak those words is Huang Youdi, a prince from our immortal empire, his strength makes it so that his words are logic." An expert behind Huang Youdi spoke.
"When one is stronger than you, and in the case where that person is much stronger, no matter how foolish his words to you are, it is still an undeniable logic. This, is nothing but the truth." That person continued, his voice powerful and resonating. Even the spectators watching this scene couldn't help but to nod in agreement when they heard that.
Where would there be logic in this strength-oriented world? Might makes right simply. No matter how foolish the words spoken are, it had to depend on who the one speaking them is.
"Let's add a few more words." Huang Youdi stared at Qin Wentian and spoke. "I want you to announce to the world that you and Princess Qing`er have no relations whatsoever and not only that, Princess Qing`er is the woman of my elder brother."
"Since you are a prince of the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire, one of your elders is certainly an emperor of that empire. Such a character should be an extremely powerful one, but sadly, he failed to pay sufficient attention to the upbringing of his kids, leading to someone like you. I truly feel sad for him." Qin Wentian's calm voice contained his ire, everyone could tell how he felt. He even dared to implicate an emperor of the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire in his words. One could only imagine how fierce the flames of anger are burning under his calm exterior.
"RUMBLE!"
Violent streams of explosive emperor might permeated the air yet none of these streams were from Huang Youdi. These streams of emperor might belonged to the experts standing behind him. Qin Wentian's words didn't merely indicate that Huang Youdi didn't have a good upbringing, he was also hinting at the poor guidance of the Nine-Emperors Immortal Emperor which led to a son like Huang Youdi.
The guts of this young man truly weren't ordinary.
Although Huang Youdi didn't erupt forth with his aura, the killing intent in his eyes grew even more intense. The rules of the sacred academy clearly stated that the students here cannot kill each other, or he would surely already have killed Qin Wentian. A dead man will never be able to vie with his elder brother for Qing`er, but because of this rule of the sacred academy restricting his actions, he needed Qin Wentian to admit himself that he had no relationship with Qing`er. Because, if Qin Wentian said such a thing, Princess Qing`er would surely give up on him. It all made sense, how would his, Huang Youdi's words, be foolish?
"You should know that the words you spoke earlier didn't merely insult me, you even insulted my entire clan." Huang Youdi spoke.
"You should know that the words you spoke earlier didn't merely insult me, you insulted Qing`er as well." Qin Wentian replied. Wanting him to admit that Qing`er was the woman of the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire's elder prince? This by itself, was a great insult to Qing`er.
"In that case do you know that if you weren't in the sacred academy now, by speaking those words earlier, you would already a dead man." Huang Youdi was like he didn't hear what Qin Wentian had said as he continued speaking.
"I only know that if this place wasn't the sacred academy, I wouldn't even bother speaking those words. Because the moment you said those words before me, you are already a dead man." Qin Wentian replied.
After that, a long moment of silence occured.
"Although we can't kill in the sacred academy, you will ultimately say those words I want you to say no matter what." After that period of silence, Huang Youdi continued, his voice tinged with determination. However he knew it was impossible for Qin Wentian to say that even if he wanted it. The experts behind him knew as well, and a moment later, with a signal from Huang Youdi, one of them stepped out.
"If I'm not wrong, your cultivation base should be at the fifth-level of immortal foundation. I don't like to bully people with a lower cultivation base, hence, I will send out one of my subordinates to deal with you."
"You are not only retarded, you are shameless as well. Could it be that the one who injured my junior brother earlier wasn't you? In front of everyone, you could still say such shameless words. Why don't you just step out yourself? In any case, you would have to act sooner or later."
"If you want me to act myself, I first have to see if you are qualified or not." Huang Youdi sneered. From the start until the end, he was as arrogant as ever.
The experts from the Thundergod Hall weren't in a rush. Lei Ba quietly watched, although he wanted nothing more than to use the cruelest methods he knew to torture Qin Wentian, he could still restrain himself because he knew Qin Wentian wouldn't compromise so easily. In that case, he would just let Huang Youdi do whatever he wants, Huang Youdi would definitely make Qin Wentian pay a painful price for his words earlier.
Naturally, Huang Youdi wouldn't go easy on Qin Wentian. Because, Qing`er was the woman Qin Wentian was in love with and Qin Wentian even insulted him and his clan earlier.
No matter what, Qin Wentian has to say those words he wanted him to say.
The experts from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire understood Huang Youdi's intentions, hence, one of them stepped out. The person who stepped out was a genius at the fifth-level of immortal-foundation, at the same level as Qin Wentian. Just like what Huang Youdi had said, if Qin Wentian wanted him to act personally, it depended on whether Qin Wentian was qualified enough or not.
This expert from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire naturally wouldn't be weak considering the fact that he managed to enter the sacred academy as well. In fact, he was also exceedingly powerful. When he punched out, that burst of emperor qi felt that it could tear everything apart. That emperor qi contained a supreme intent, wanting to destroy Qin Wentian who stood there.
However, Qin Wentian seemed as calm as ever, simply standing there just like that. It felt like he didn't see that violent, incoming punch!
