HEAVENLY DAO RANK: I WAS EXPOSED AS A SWORD GOD
Chapter 107 Personal Revenge
As Li Yu had guessed, everyone in the hall had a high status.
Other than the Clear Void Holy Lord, Holy Lord Taiqing, a few Great Elders, and a few others, the remaining people were basically the best experts of the current generation from the various top factions. They are the ones with the highest seniority.
For example, the person sitting in the VIP seat was Emperor Tianyun, and beside him was the old emperor of the Myriad Era Dynasty and Fengtian Dynasty. The others were sect masters from various large sects and ancestors from the top cultivation families in the Huaxia continent.
Even the new Emperor of the Heavenly Fate Dynasty, Emperor Hengyun, and the Holy Son of the Clear Void Holy Land, Zhou Yu, could only stand by the side and watch.
Hence, the Clear Void Holy Land left the seat for Li Yu and invited him to eat with the ancestors of the various factions and the Living Fossils definitely gave him enough face.
Of course, this was also because Li Yu was the one who cast the Great Dao spell, and he was worthy of respect by this older generation.
"Alright, since everyone is here, the banquet will officially start!" Sacred Lord Taiqing smiled.
Furthermore, a group of female disciples from the Clear Void Holy Land began to serve wine and dishes to the guests.
Meanwhile, Holy Lord Taiqing continued, “Young Friend Li Yu, this is our first meeting. You may not be familiar with everyone here, so let me introduce you!
"Thank you!" Li Yu cupped his hands.
Sacred Lord Taiqing smiled and began to introduce a huge punch. “This is the legendary Emperor of the Heavenly Fate Dynasty, Emperor Tianyun. He is also one of the ten peak experts of the Mahayana Realm of our human race!” After hearing the introduction of Sacred Lord Taiqing, Li Yu looked at the old man sitting in the VIP seat expressionlessly.
He remembered it was the old man who wanted to seize the Ancient God Body Gu Yuqi and hire an assassin from the Asura Hall.
The old man did look like a wise man, but he did not expect him to be so evil.
After Li Yu told Li Qingyun about this Mo Wuhui, Li Qingyun speculated that it must be related to the Emperor of Heavenly Fate. Li Qingyun had heard of Mo Wuhui, the Asura Hall's ultimate assassin. Few could hire him.
Therefore, Li Yu did not have a good impression of Emperor Tianyun.
“Oh, so Emperor Tianyun. Indeed, meeting in person is not as good as knowing your reputation!” Li Yu commented with a cold smile.
Everyone's expressions changed as they looked at Li Yu in confusion.
Did Li Yu use the wrong word?
He was someone who told the truth of the Great Dao. How could he make a mistake on such a simple thing?
Is this the first time he's met so many big bosses that he's confused about? But he didn't look nervous at all.
His expression and tone were clearly intentional.
Li Yu actually said that Emperor Tianyun's reputation was not appropriate? Is this kid crazy?
It was the current top human expert, the mighty Emperor Tianyun. He was a person that even Great Elder Clear Void Holy Land and Holy Lord should respect.
And why did he say that about Emperor Tianyun? Could there be some sort of grudge between them? Logically speaking, they had not had any interaction before. Li Qingyun, on the other hand, had a grudge against the Clear Void Holy Land.
Perhaps he was deliberately speaking rudely to ruin the Clear Void Holy Land's banquet and humiliate Sacred Lord Taiqing?
Everyone in the hall would burn their heads as they imagined all sorts of absurd possibilities.
“Haha, I'm sure you said hearing reputation is not as good as meeting in person, my young friend Li Yu!” Sacred Lord Taiqing laughed flatly and tried to smooth things out.
However, he was worried. He did not expect Li Yu to be so forthright.
He actually dared to insult Emperor Tianyun. As expected of Li Qingyun's son, he was very similar in this aspect. He was just someone who was not afraid of even the heavens.
In fact, Sacred Lord Taiqing was a person of understanding. Perhaps others might not know, but he was more or less able to guess it. Li Yu had to antagonize Emperor Tianyun because of Gu Yuqi.
After Ancient God Body Gu Yuqi entered the Heavenly Dao Rank, his sect was destroyed, and his whereabouts were unknown.
Although no one knew who did it, Sacred Lord Taiqing had some speculation.
Hearing Li Yu's words, he was more confident with his guess. Moreover, Sacred Lord Taiqing felt a trace of hostility, although Emperor Tianyun did not say much when everyone was talking about Li Yu not too long ago.
“Hahaha, that's right. Our young friend Li Yu should have said otherwise!” The Clear Void Holy Land elders hurriedly tried to tidy things up.
Li Yu did not elaborate further as a form of homage to Sacred Lord Taiqing. After all, he shouldn't mess with the other party's hospitality.
He was aware that Li Yu was intentionally saying that, and he was very unhappy inside. No one dared to talk to him like this before, and it was even done in public. The boy was fearless. If not for the fact that he did not wish to lose the disposition of a great emperor, he would probably have taught this brat a lesson personally.
He wanted to tell him that occupying the Heaven Son Rank was not the same as being the best in the world.
He wanted to let the frogs inside this well know what a true expert was.
In fact, Emperor Tianyun had guessed that Li Yu must have known about his plan to seize Gu Yuqi's body.
However, he couldn't dispute it. This time, he had to obtain Gu Yuqi's body in the Lingtian Mystic Realm. The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit. History is written by the winner.
Sacred Lord Taiqing hurriedly changed the topic and introduced the next person.
After which, Li Yu greeted them one by one. His tone was calm, and he spoke appropriately.
This confirmed everyone's suspicions that Li Yu was not confused. And he was only after Emperor Tianyun.
It is clear that they have a personal vendetta. No wonder Emperor Tianyun had always said that he wanted his grandson, Emperor Hengyun, to fight with Li Yu and test his cultivation level.
They had not expected such a big secret to be hidden in this banquet. It was totally unexpected.
“Li Yu is too great. He dared to ridicule Emperor Tianyun in public. Jesus, I'm sweating cold!”
"Senior Brother, do you know the Tianyun Emperor's feud with Li Yu?"
"There's no idea. I'm confused too!”
Zhou Yu, Duan Tianming, and the other members of the Nine disciples of the Clear Void Holy Land whispered softly with their divine senses.
“Li Yu is truly the number one miracle. He did not even place Emperor Tianyun in his eyes. I was impressed with his bravery!”
“Why do I feel Li Yu is a little rash? Offending Emperor Tianyun in public was not a wise move. He was a great human expert in terms of strength and influence, so Li Yu should not offend such an expert!”
“Hmph, so what? Li Yu's cultivation was probably at least at the early stages of the Mahayana Realm or even higher. It might not be long before he was on par with Emperor Tianyun. What scares her?” "He's right. If Emperor Tianyun really had a grudge against Li Yu, I believe that even if Li Yu did not say that now, Emperor Tianyun would not have left peacefully. Didn't he mention that he wanted Emperor Hengyun to compete with Li Yu?”
“So so. I think Li Yu is just kidding!” "Wait and just look. The show has just started!”
Duan Tianming and the others were very excited to watch the show.
After Sacred Lord Taiqing introduced everyone, the official banquet began. However, due to the incident between Li Yu and Emperor Tianyun, the atmosphere in the hall became strange.
Everyone has mixed feelings.
The various powers had planned to seize this opportunity to befriend Li Yu.
However, due to the conflict between Li Yu and Emperor Tianyun, they were conflicted.
If they acted too close to Li Yu, they were afraid that Emperor Tianyun was unhappy. However if they ignored Li Yu completely, they would feel that they had wasted this golden opportunity.
After all, Li Yu was the one who cast the Great Dao spell. He was clearly the son of heaven, and his future was limitless.
One was an old emperor with absolute strength, while the other was a new emperor with boundless potential.
They needed to choose the side between the two, so they were indeed conflicted.
After some time, the banquet was almost over. Emperor Tianyun looked at the old man diagonally across from him.
The old man understood secretly, and he immediately grinned as he asked, “Young Friend Li Yu, I want to know what your cultivation field is now. We were all curious about the "unknown" writing on the Heavenly Dao Rank!
"That's right. Perhaps our young friend Li Yu cultivates a unique cultivation system that is completely different from ours?” Someone hurriedly echoed.
Of course, this was a question that made everyone curious, so everyone looked at Li Yu, who was eating deliciously with great satisfaction.
“Mm, I think so. This is a cultivation system I created myself. I don't know where I am either!” Li Yu replied casually while eating.
