Chapter 1470: Breaking Rules
The doors at the top of the flight of stairs looked like doors to heaven.
Wen Tian Ge and Wen Ao Xue arrived at the gate and smiled indifferently. Wen Tian Ge just said indifferently, “Such grandeur architecture, they’re quite the ambitious bunch.”
The one next to Wen Tian Ge didn’t understand. What did he mean?
Outside, in the gardens, there were tables setup with food and drinks. At the top of the flight of stairs, one could smell the food and alcohol wafting over.
The buildings were white and beautiful, majestic and lofty. The Qi Empire was proud of themselves and their buildings. Their buildings were even better than the Qi Clan’s in the Ba Huang Province.
“Your Highness The Messenger!” Emperor Dong rushed over to the Messenger after he saw him. He came to greet him himself. He was smiling wholeheartedly.
“Emperor Dong, Congratulations!” said the Messenger smiling and nodding.
“Thank you very much, Your Highness The Messenger! Come come, have a seat!” said Emperor Dong politely. Then, he smiled at the young men who were with the Messenger and said, “Those young men must be from the Gu Clan! They all look outstanding!”
“You’re too kind!” said the young men smiling.
But Emperor Dong smiled coldly. Surprisingly, those young men were very arrogant and impolite. (Translator’s note: interesting thing about Chinese culture, when someone compliments you, you’re supposed to reply something like “no, no, that’s not true at all”, if you reply something like “you’re too kind”, it means that you agree with the compliment which comes down to bragging. The worst thing you could ever do in Chinese culture is reply to a compliment by saying “thank you”).
Of course, even though he thought that way, he didn’t show his anger. He just showed them where to sit.
“Thank you everyone for coming.” said Emperor Dong to the emperors while showing them their seats. They didn’t sit together though, they were still waiting for their disciples.
Emperor Dong welcomed the emperors himself. Emperor Qi also helped. Qi Qian Xing didn’t come though. He didn’t dare come, he couldn’t take the risk after what Lin Feng had done to his clan recently.
Very quickly, people from all over Ba Huang and Jiu You all arrived and gathered with their friends. Even as Emperor Yu arrived, Emperor Qi welcomed him warmly.
“Hou Qing Lin and Tian Chi arrived as well!” some people saw two people move towards Emperor Yu. Tiantai’s direct disciples, Hou Qing Lin and Tian Chi.
“Hou Qing Lin has broken through to the ninth Zun Qi layer. How terrifying! He’ll soon become a cultivation emperor. He’s so close to becoming one now.” thought the crowd.
Many people were stuck at the ninth Zun Qi layer or couldn’t even reach the top of the Zun Qi layer.
Nobody doubted that Hou Qing Lin was going to break through to the Huang Qi layer though.
“Bzzz!” At that moment, dazzling lights appeared in the sky. It was a gigantic bird, and there was another bird next to him who was a bit smaller.
“Emperor Peng and the little bird emperor arrived!” the crowd saw two birds. They were both great oriental greenfinch rocs.
“They’re really obstinate and unruly.” thought everybody.
Those days, people were used to calling Mo Peng the little emperor. Last time, the emperor had been bullied by Lin Feng. Since then, Mo Peng had broken through to the seventh Zun Qi layer as Emperor Peng continued helping him practice cultivation. He wanted him to break through to the Huang Qi layer.
“Emperor Peng, the little emperor, come here and have a seat!” said Emperor Qi indifferently. Even though he smiled coldly on the inside, he remained polite. The great oriental greenfinch roc was different from the others!
“Bzzz!” Waves of Qi rolled in the sky behind Emperor Peng. The crowd was astonished. He was there!
Emperor Qi was astonished as well, he felt like he was going to explode with anger.
Emperor Yu smiled happily though.
Lin Feng and Ruo Xie had made it!
“Caw!” Mo Peng cawed furiously. He was surrounded by golden Qi as he instantly threw himself at Lin Feng. He hated Lin Feng more than anything else because he had made him suffer so much. Even when he had an imperial weapon, Lin Feng had made him suffer.
Lin Feng smiled indifferently. He didn’t even glance at the bird. Emperor Yu, Emperor Wen and Emperor Deva-Mara were all there, so no emperor could attack him. Besides, those who had violated the rules might suffer severe consequences.
“Those who aren’t emperors have to go through the gate, they can’t fly into the city. Who do you think you are!”“Who are you!” said a guard who knew who Lin Feng was.
“Are you blind?” replied Lin Feng indifferently. Lin Feng pointed at Mo Peng and said indifferently, “Is he an emperor?”
“Hmph!” Ruo Xie groaned coldly and said, “It’s a wedding today and everybody has been invited. We came, so it’s already an honor for the Qi Clan. If the Qi Clan wants guests, why impose such rules, especially if not everybody respects them. Do you want to imply that some geniuses are less important than others?”
The guard looked at Ruo Xie. Ruo Xie was talking with everybody in mind.
“He’s a great oriental greenfinch roc!” replied the guard. He seemed a little unsure of himself.
“What you mean to say is that great oriental greenfinch rocs are more important than anyone else. Then, you should have only invited the great oriental greenfinch rocs and that’s it. Why’d you invite everyone else?” replied Ruo Xie.
The guard was speechless. The birds looked furious too.
“Great oriental greenfinch rocs’ social status is obviously higher than ordinary people’s.” replied the bird. He didn’t dare offend everybody, so he only talked about “ordinary people”.
“Is that so? Strength is the most important thing in the cultivation world. I am at the top of the Sixth Zun Qi layer, so I’ll fight against him, a battle to death with no imperial intervention, nor imperial weapons. We’ll see then! Does Emperor Peng agree?” asked Lin Feng, looking at Emperor Peng. The emperor was incredulous.
“What an arrogant guy! A battle to the death!” thought the crowd. Mo Peng probably didn’t want to because Lin Feng wasn’t an ordinary person.
“If you kill me, it’ll prove that your social status is higher than mine. If I die, then I deserve it. I’ll probably die so Emperor Peng doesn’t need to act so polite. Don’t worry yourself Mo Peng, let’s fight!” said Lin Feng smiling indifferently.
“Hmph!” Emperor Peng groaned coldly. The birds didn’t look as arrogant as before.
“Today is a wedding ceremony, so don’t worry about the rules!” said Emperor Qi indifferently glancing at Lin Feng. Lin Feng and Ruo Xie continued flying, they didn’t even glance at Emperor Qi as the flew overhead.
