Legend of the Monster
Chapters 226. Ling Tian Demonstrated His Strength
"Sorry, Your Majesty the Emperor! There was a small fly that was bothering me. I only helped His Majesty the Emperor to silence the little fly so as not to dare anymore buzz," Ling Tian said softly. Then continued in a slightly complaining tone, "Aaiihh ... Sorry, I forgot where we were talking to, Your Majesty the Emperor!"
"Take three wives." Princess Qing Ruan subconsciously replied spontaneously.
"Bhh ... That'sthat's true! Thank you, Princess for reminding me," Ling Tian said as he bowed slightly to Princess Qing Ruan to thank her.
Princess Qing Ruan once again almost laughed at Ling Tian's behavior which she thought was funny. However, given that Ling Tian had refused to marry her, her face instantly turned moody.
Princess Qing Ruan also did not know why her heart was feeling sad. Because he never felt in love. Because all this time he had continued to immerse himself in practicing and cultivating without being bothered with other things.
And it was because of this that even the Qing Emperor was a little worried that Princess Qing Ruan would only focus on her cultivation so that she would never get married. Thus, Emperor Qing took the initiative to introduce him to Prince Yuan Congming.
However, Princess Qing Ruan gave the Qing Emperor the condition that she would only marry the one who could defeat her. However, the person who had defeated Princess Qing Ruan instead refused to marry her.
"Do you really have three wives?" emperor Qing asked as he watched Ling Tian's face once more, to ascertain whether there was or not a hint of a trace of lies implied on his face.
"That's right, Your Majesty the Emperor!" ling Tian replied briefly.
"Hmmm ... In that case, take me to where your three wives are to further prove that you are not lying," Emperor Qing replied as he continued to watch Ling Tian's face.
Hearing Emperor Qing's words, Ling Tian's face immediately turned sour, then said, "That's the problem, Your Majesty the Emperor! For now, I have not been able to return to my third wife's place. Because the place is far from here. Even I don't know the way back there."
Everyone became confused after listening to Ling Tian's explanation. It was extremely impossible for a cultivator like Ling Tian who had defeated Princess Qing Ruan, not knowing the way back to his own home.
It was with this kind of explanation that Ling Tian ended up making everyone think that Ling Tian had lied and this was also just his reason for rejecting his marriage to Princess Qing Ruan.
Even Princess Qing Ruan's own face that was still covered by the veil, instantly turned sullen and said in her heart, "Am I really unfit to be his wife?"
Prince Qing Yi who could no longer bear to see Ling Tian's demeanor immediately said with a furious grunt, as this was his chance to strike back at Ling Tian. "Gmph ... From the beginning you have insulted me with your harsh words as if you were the truest person. You even beat up my son to such an extent, for saying that you only made excuses to refuse your marriage to my niece Princess Qing Ruan. But, with the words you just said, it only further proves that you are a big, unbelievable liar. It turns out that you really have made an excuse to refuse your marriage to my niece Princess Qing Ruan."
"Idiot! Not long enough had I silenced the little fly's mouth, but the big fly started buzzing again," Ling Tian said in an annoyed tone, then extended his hand towards Prince Qing Yi.
In an instant, the extremely powerful suction power from Ling Tian's hand instantly pulled the body of Prince Qing Yi. Before everyone within the palace hall reacted, Ling Tian's hand was already gripping Prince Qing Yi's neck and lifting him up.
"Ughb ... Ughb ... Ughhhh!"
Prince Qing Yi looked like she wanted to speak again, but her voice was stuck in her throat.
The people who were inside the hall were extremely shocked by such a sudden occurrence. Even in everyone's wildest dreams, they would never once have imagined that Ling Tian would have this great power.
Because, Prince Qing Yi's cultivation level is quite high because it is at the ninth stage of the Earth Star. However, seeing that it was now like an animal was ready to be slaughtered, no one would believe it if they did not witness it in person.
"Father and son are the same. From the beginning you kept looking for trouble with me. I've given you a little face because we're in front of His Majesty the Emperor. But you still do that." Ling Tian paused for a moment while smiling sinisterly, then continued, "Do you believe that I dare to kill you in this place? Do you believe that if I said that I would very easily destroy this Qing Empire as easily as turning my palm? Do you believe if I say that the personal guards of His Majesty the Emperor, who are hiding in the shadows and are the strongest people in the Qing Empire these are just like ants in my eyes? Since you do not believe what I say, then get rid of it! This is not your place to talk."
After saying all that, Ling Tian threw Prince Qing Yi out of the palace hall until his body kept crashing very quickly out of the palace and stopped when it crashed into the guardrail of the barrier wall in the Imperial palace.
BAM
"Acity ... Sorry, Your Majesty the Emperor! Let's continue, Your Majesty the Emperor! Now I'm absolutely certain that there won't be any more flies buzzing to interrupt our conversation." Ling Tian said in a slightly complaining tone, then added, "Huuhh ... I forgot again where we were talking, Your Majesty the Emperor!"
"Until 'You don't know your way home'!" This time it was Emperor Qing himself who answered Ling Tian with a slightly quivering voice.
Now, all the personal guards of the Qing Emperor who were hiding in the shadows had appeared and stood around everyone's seats, intending to protect them. The total number there were ten people in addition to the old man who from the very beginning continued to stand near Emperor Qing.
Their stature was all the same, that of an old man who was about 70 years old. Their cultivation level was also at the second stage of the Sky Star.
They all appeared after Ling Tian mentioned that he could destroy the Qing Empire as easily as turning his palm over. And also Ling Tian already knew that they were hiding in the shadows to protect Emperor Qing.
"Acity ... There is no need for you to be so vigilant and watchful of me! If I had evil intentions, even if there were a thousand or even more of you, I would still very easily kill you all," ling Tian said as he smiled wryly as he saw the personal guards of Emperor Qing guarding their vigilance against him, then continued, "Ooh, right! Our conversation came down to 'I don't know the way back to where I live'."
"Why is that? Didn't you just say being able to destroy my Qing Empire is as easy as turning your palm?" asked Emperor Qing in a tone of astonishment, then added, "So, with your strength like that, it will definitely be very easy to return there."
"Jcnnnp ... It's because my residence isn't in the Sky Intersection Continent." Ling Tian paused for a moment as he let out a long sigh, then continued again, "I am from the Intermediate Sky Continent. The spatial tunnel pulled me all the way to this place. So I really don't know how to get back there."
"What?!"
When Ling Tian finished speaking, everyone's mouths gaped wide. Even the jaws of Emperor Qing were as if they were about to fall to the ground.
If it was a person who came from the Upper Celestial Continent, they had heard his story hundreds of years ago coming to the Sky Intersection Continent due to being sucked in by the spatial tunnel. However, they had never heard of someone who was from the Mid-tier Sky Continent coming to the Sky Intersection Continent.
If what Ling Tian said was true, then he was the person from the Intermediate Level Sky Continent who first came to the Sky Intersection Continent.
And even more astonishing, was Ling Tian's strength. It raises all sorts of questions in their minds. Isn't the cultivation level in the Sky Intermediate Level Continent only up to the ninth stage of the Earth Star?
They could not break through to the Sky Star stage due to the lack of resources there. But, why would Ling Tian's strength be able to achieve it? Moreover, Ling Tian's age was still very young, only around 22-23 years old.
Princess Qing Ruan who was around 25-26 years old with a cultivation level who was at the fourth stage of the Earth Star, had been dubbed the number one genius in the Sky Crossing Continent. If so, what was the proper nickname to give Ling Tian?
If only Ling Tian had explained to them that he was from the Low-Level Sky Continent, perhaps everyone's mind would have gone mad from even more shock.
Princess Qing Ruan now felt extremely depressed and embarrassed. His nickname as the number one genius in the Sky Intersection Continent was just nonsense when it was in front of Ling Tian.
"So, it's not like I want to refuse this marriage. However, if I am to get married, I must first ask permission from my three wives" Ling Tian said as he turned to Princess Qing Ruan.
Princess Qing Ruan lowered her head to avoid Ling Tian's gaze being fixed on her. In his heart he said in a reluctant tone, "Meaning, during the fight with him in the competition, Ling Tian was just playing around with me without exerting all his strength!"
After listening to Ling Tian's explanation, Emperor Qing did not know what to say. He simply turned his head towards the old man standing nearby as if asking for his opinion. However, what the Qing Emperor witnessed was, the old man looked towards Ling Tian with a look of wanting to challenge him to a duel.
The old man was the strongest cultivator among all the personal bodyguards of Emperor Qing, who had a cultivation level at the second stage of the Celestial Star pinnacle, the, which meant staying a little longer he would break through to the third stage of the Sky Star.
Thus, the old man wanted to test Ling Tian's strength, as he had yet to believe what he said before he tried it himself. In his opinion, Ling Tian's words were too exaggerated that he could destroy the Qing Empire just as easily as turning his palm away.
