Ancient Godly Monarch
chapter-1055

Dongsheng Ting's eyes were as sharp as blades, as though able to pierce through anyone he looked at. Just as what Qin Wentian has said, back then in the past when the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor descended to his particle world to recruit disciples, Dongsheng Ting had never placed him in his eyes before.

In Dongsheng Ting's eyes, Qin Wentian was nothing but an ant from a country-bumpkin world. In fact, as a low-level Celestial Phenomenon Ascendant, he didn't even qualify to be an ant. Dongsheng Ting was able to swat low-level ascendants to death with a single smack and at that time, he had never imagined that Qin Wentian would be able to become his opponent... that Qin Wentian was able to kill so many experts of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect... that Qin Wentian would join the immortal banquet held once per hundred years by them and publicly rejected the offer to be taken in as a disciple by the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor, smacking his face and humiliating him.

These were things he had never thought possible before. Right now, the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord was protecting him, it was no longer so easy if he wanted to kill Qin Wentian.

This time, he came to the Southern Phoenix Clan personally to capture Qin Wentian, yet Qin Wentian said to his face that he was the son of old dog Eastern Sage.

"Senior can also see how rude the personality of this man is. He has no respect for any of his elders. We hope that the elders of the Southern Phoenix Clan would be able to hand him over to us." Dongsheng Ting spoke to the elder of the Southern Phoenix Clan. Although they found out Qin Wentian's location, they couldn't have sent powerful experts here to kill him, this place was the Southern Phoenix Immortal City! In the Southern Phoenix Immortal City, the Southern Phoenix Clan is God himself. Nothing that happened here could be hidden from their eyes and no matter if they killed Qin Wentian openly or through a sneak attack in the dark, the Southern Phoenix Clan would surely investigate the matter if Qin Wentian died. Also if they did so, this would be tantamount to a provocation of the Southern Phoenix Clan's prestige and honor.

Many years ago, an immortal emperor directly killed an expert in the Southern Phoenix Immortal City because he believed he was strong enough to face off against all repercussions. Next, this immortal emperor was hunted by the full force of the Southern Phoenix Clan and eventually died a miserable death.

Those who came by this place, had to abide by their rules completely.

For those who broke the rules, how could the Southern Phoenix Clan give them face? If the Southern Phoenix Clan didn't pursue those who broke the rules even if they are immortal emperors, who else would still respect the rules they set? That would simply be a smack to their reputation.

Also after that incident, there were no longer any immortal emperors who dared to kill people in the Southern Phoenix Immortal City.

The Eastern Sage Immortal Sect didn't dare to do so as well. The Southern Phoenix Clan's might constituted the flourishing of the Southern Phoenix Immortal City. It was one of the safest main cities in the entire immortal realms.

Hence, they had to openly make their request known. If they stealthily killed Qin Wentian, that would be equal to going against the entire Southern Phoenix Clan.

"Sir Qin is a guest of our Southern Phoenix Clan." Even before the elder of the Southern Phoenix Clan spoke, Nanfeng Shengge already interjected. Her words caused Dongsheng Ting to glance at her. This sentence was undoubtedly helping Qin Wentian. If not, she wouldn't say this in the face of the elders of her clan. Qin Wentian naturally also understood Nanfeng Shengge's good intentions.

"This is?" Dongsheng Ting smiled.

"Nanfeng Shengge."

"Oh, so it is Holy Maiden Shengge." Dongsheng Ting smiled and nodded, exuding an air of politeness.

"Sir Dongsheng is too polite." Nanfeng Shengge returned the courtesy.

"The Violet Emperor is raging due to the death of my young master Zi Daoyang, who died in the City of Ancient Emperor. I hope that the Southern Phoenix Clan would be able to understand the emotions of the Violet Emperor. Qin Wentian was involved in the death of my young master Zi Daoyang and if elders could allow us to bring him away, the Violet Emperor would appear here personally to thank the Southern Phoenix Clan." An expert from the Violet Emperor Sect spoke. He brought this up before the Southern Phoenix Clan's elder could say anything and clearly, he was intending to pressure the elder. The Violet Emperor was a peak-level immortal emperor and was extremely powerful. The Southern Phoenix Clan might not care about the Xuan Emperor or the Xiao Emperor but they still needed to consider the feelings of the Violet Emperor.

"You guys are making things difficult for me." That elder bitterly smiled and shook his head. "Since everyone of you are from immortal-emperor ranked powers, by logic, I shouldn't reject your request. However, just like what Shengge has said, Qin Wentian is a guest of my Southern Phoenix Clan after all. If we hand him over to you guys just like this, what would the people of the immortal realms say about our Southern Phoenix Clan?"

By saying this, it was clear that the Southern Phoenix Clan had just rejected the request from the four immortal emperors.

"Hehe." Qin Wentian actually laughed at this moment. He stared at the people from the Violet Emperor Sect and coldly spoke, "I, Qin, have also heard the name of the Violet Emperor when roaming the immortal realms. Although his reputation is great, he is nothing but a disappointment when he showed his true colors. Zi Daoyang fought fairly with me and was injured after he was defeated. After that, he was killed by Mo Xie but the Violet Emperor actually wanted to implicate me in this and shift his anger onto me? The moral character of the Violet Emperor is truly lacking."

"Daoyang gege's death has many unclear factors. Who knows if you are a part of orchestrating his death? Daoyang gege's talent was extremely outstanding, you cannot push away the responsibility for his death in the City of Ancient Emperors." Xiao Lengyue coldly spoke. Qin Wentian turned his eyes over to her, the force in his gaze actually made Xiao Lengyue take a step back unconsciously. It felt like his gaze could penetrate directly into her heart, and she didn't dare to look him in the eyes.

"I spared you from death countless times, yet you are still here fanning the flames. Your cultivation base doesn't seem to have advanced and as usual, you only know how to use your beauty to seduce people. To think that people still refer to you as a genius...Xiao Lengyue, you are nothing but a cheap slut." Qin Wentian coldly spoke. He had almost never insulted a woman like that before but this Xiao Lengyue was simply too much. He had spared her more than once despite her numerous attempts at provoking him. However, it seems that this woman is still asleep, she still wanted to use the Violet Emperor to claim his life.

"You…" Xiao Lengyue's chest heaved up and down due to Qin Wentian insult. She was originally also considered one of the top heaven chosen in the City of Ancient Emperors. But after she met this unlucky star, Qin Wentian, it was like she suddenly had a heart demon. If Qin Wentian didn't die, she probably would find it hard to progress in her cultivation any further.

"Me? What about me?" Qin Wentian coldly smiled. He turned his gaze towards Xuan Yang. "Don't forget how your younger brother died. In the City of Ancient Emperors he went against me in all circumstances, wanting to pressure and suppress me, driving me up the wall but was killed by me in the end. You even dared to lead men here to capture me? Xuan Yang you are far from enough, you are somebody as weak as Xiao Lengyue and I can crush you both to death with a single hand. Don't forget that when we fought back then when your ranking was still #4 on the Immortal Ascension Rankings, my cultivation base was merely at the seventh level of Celestial Phenomenon."

"You are truly insolent." The experts from the Xuan Emperor glared at Qin Wentian, their voices cold. This fellow was still so arrogant despite facing the subordinates of four great immortal emperors. He was simply lawless and completely didn't have them in his eyes.

"Hmph." Qin Wentian snorted coldly. He turned his gaze onto them as he continued, "All of you came from so far away, coming all the way here simply to take my life? That is simple then. We will follow the rules of the Southern Phoenix Clan and fight each other in a life-and-death battle on the Phoenix Arena. I don't mind you guys challenging me consecutively and I can also give you some leeway in terms of cultivation level. Simply put, even if there's a third-level immortal-foundation expert among you guys who wishes to fight me, I will accept the challenge."

"Do you dare to fight or not?" Qin Wentian suddenly exploded out with a shout, shocking everyone. They could see the arrogance in Qin Wentian's eyes, flickering with killing intent. It felt like it wasn't them coming here to kill Qin Wentian but they were coming here to be killed by Qin Wentian instead.

Qin Wentian naturally had reason to be angry. Four great immortal emperors actually took advantage of their position to bully him, a mere junior.

Since this was the case, he might as well stir the pot further, killing them all one by one. In any case, he cannot leave the Southern Phoenix Immortal City temporarily. He wanted to see how these people would kill him exactly.

"Do you dare to fight or not?" Qin Wentian repeated upon seeing nobody daring to reply. "If you don't dare, scram back to the place you came from. The faces of the four immortal emperors have all been thrown away by you guys. Dongsheng Ting, didn't you always treat me like an ant? Do you dare to fight me on the Phoenix Arena?"

"Crackle!" The winecup in Dongsheng Ting's hand shattered. If it was before, he clearly wouldn't have hesitated. But right before he came by here wanting to capture Qin Wentian, he heard some unpleasant news. Qin Wentian had aided Nanfeng Yunxi and succeeded in allowing her to obtain the position of Holy Successor. Among their competitors were powerful experts like Kong Ye and Jiang Ziyu… This made it so that they found it difficult to gauge Qin Wentian's strength.

Dongsheng Ting had always flaunted his extraordinary status and he had no wish to screw things up here. Qin Wentian this madman actually dared to kill Que Tianyi, a personal disciple of his father, and exterminated the experts of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. Forming grudges of hatred as deep as ocean. He knew that if he ever ended up in the hands of Qin Wentian, Qin Wentian would probably not hesitate to kill him.

Although Dongsheng Ting was confident in his strength, he was a cautious individual. To him, nothing is more valuable than his own life.

"Since Qin Wentian already put it this way, I have no more objections. If any of you guys are able to kill Qin Wentian on the Phoenix Arena, my Southern Phoenix Clan will not do anything to interfere in this. What do you all think about it?" An elder from the Southern Phoenix Clan smoothly took advantage and spoke. He wanted to see how exactly these people from the immortal emperor-ranked powers would handle the situation now that Qin Wentian gave them his ultimatum.

"Okay, let's fight on the Phoenix Arena then." An expert from the Violet Emperor Sect coldly spoke. After that, an expert from the Southern Phoenix Clan stood up, "I will personally prepare the arena for both of you. Please."

After speaking, he stepped out. The others followed behind him and not long after, they arrived at the Phoenix Arena. Nanfeng Shengge and Jun Mengchen stood beside Qin Wentian and as Qin Wentian was preparing to go up, Nanfeng Shengge warned in a low voice, "Be careful, since the match is up on the Phoenix Arena, all sorts of methods can be used, including immortal-ranked weapons. Don't be too careless."

"Mhm." Qin Wentian nodded to Nanfeng Shengge to indicate that he understood.

On the Phoenix Arena, the prerequisite to fight there was both parties had to be in agreement. Once both parties agreed, it represented a conflict that couldn't be mediated and the fight on the arena would be a life-and-death battle. There were no longer any rules or fairness. Since you agreed to come up here to fight, you can use any methods you want to. You just have to win.

An expert from the Violet Emperor Sect turned to someone beside him and transmitted something. That person nodded as he stepped out, coldly glancing at Qin Wentian with eyes flickering with killing intent. He was none other than a third-level immortal-foundation expert.

Qin Wentian and this person respectively walked up the Southern Phoenix Arena and after they were on, a screen of light activated as the faint image of a phoenix enveloped the arena completely. This indicated that the participants in the combat can start battle at any time.

"BOOM!" A sense of impending doom instantly locked onto Qin Wentian. Fast, too fast, his opponent unleashed an ultimate sure-kill technique, disappearing from sight, enveloping Qin Wentian within with his terrifying killing intent. He was so quick that ordinary immortal-foundation experts had no way to react.

"BANG!" The sound of a colossal explosion rang out. Powerful runes covered Qin Wentian's body and all of a sudden, a sword slashed out, causing a shower of blood to splatter through the air. From the start until now, Qin Wentian stood in his original location unmoving.

The demon sword already stabbed into his opponent's throat.

"Shameless." Dongsheng Ting coldly spoke. At the instant battle begin, Qin Wentian actually triggered a defensive immortal talisman to explode. He was already long prepared, waiting for his opponent to execute his sure-kill technique as he planned to use the immortal talisman to block it before taking the chance to kill his opponent.

Qin Wentian slowly pulled out the demon sword. His frost-like eyes swept coldly over to Dongsheng Ting. On the Phoenix Arena, one could use any methods they had in their arsenal to kill their opponents. There was no such thing as shameless actions!
