Chapter 38 - Arrival at the imperial capital

Hearing that, Wang Qiuyu abruptly turned around, his eyes looked as though they were spitting fire, staring straight at Ye Yang, "Don't go overboard with your junior, what else do you want?"

"Sigh, human, as you age, your memory is extremely poor. Looking at you, you don't seem to be in your fifties. Don't tell me you've aged so quickly. Don't you remember what you don't know?" Facing the glowering eyes of the king level expert, Ye Yang shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

Wang Qiuyu had just stepped into the King's Realm on her thirty-seventh year, so her innate talent could be considered pretty good. Usually, when she took care of herself, she would only look to be in her early thirties.

"Little fellow, you should have heard of this principle before, even if a genius dies, then he is nothing," Wang Qiuyu gritted her teeth and said, asking her to apologize to a little warrior, it was as painful as killing her.

He curled his lips in disdain as he didn't seem to be threatened at all. "Tsk, you actually dare to talk to me and let me off? If you truly understood, you would not be willing to be Nan Licheng's lackey and help to bully the disciples of our Eight Desolate City.

Without waiting for her to speak, Ye Yang continued, "Sooner or later, you will pay for your actions in the future. Everyone knows what you have done in the past few years, so let's just open our doors and say some f * cking words. Today, we have spent all of you here as a warning. If you continue to be unrepentant, then I don't mind playing with you!"

Although he was a Transcender, Li Chengfeng treated him as if he were his nephew. He now had very special feelings for the Eight Desolate City.

"You …" Being angered by Ye Yang to the point that he couldn't even utter a single retort, they had indeed bullied the disciples of the Eight Desolate City very miserably all these years in Tianwu Academy. However, they did have a political motive as well.

"Stop with your nonsense! If you want to apologize, then hurry up. It doesn't matter if you don't want to apologize, since we're going to the imperial city soon anyway. We might as well do some promotional work, saying that the king of the Luo Ying City does not keep her promise after losing, and should release that kind of smelly anger when he speaks."

"Alright, I apologize." Ye Yang's words had caught her sore foot. Martial artists greatly promised that if they did not fulfill their promise, they would break their promise and become a laughingstock. Even the Luo Ying City would be implicated.

He braced himself and walked to Gu Xiaoyue, took a deep breath and said, "Today's matter is our disciple's fault, I apologize to you on behalf of them."

"I … I …" Gu Xiaoyue had never seen such a big scene before. Hiding behind her brother's back, she was at a loss of what to do for a moment.

"Little sister of the Gu family, on account of me, Ye Yang, let's just forget about it. Although she doesn't have any sincerity in apologizing, nor did she bow or kneel, people of our Eight Desolate City have always treated peace as the most important thing. We treat people more leniently, so let's just forget about it."

Gu Xiaoyue anxiously agreed. She felt like she was suffocating, and hoped that the situation before her was over soon.

Wang Qiuyu's face turned green, she did not say a word, and turned, bringing everyone out of the hall.

"Miss Gu Xiaoyue is magnanimous and does not hold grudges against the past. When you return, you should be grateful for your kindness. You must not let down Miss Gu's kindness!" Ye Yang did not forget to speak sarcastically.

When the disciples of the Luo Ying City heard Ye Yang's words, they nearly stumbled and disappeared from their line of sight in a sorry state.

Li Chengfeng and Ye Yang looked at each other and laughed in unison. They both reached out their hands at the same time and heavily slapped the table.

"It's great, it's great! This is the first time I, Li Chengfeng, have felt this good in so many years, I never expected you to be so crafty, to the point where a king can only endure and swallow his anger," Li Chengfeng said excitedly.

"Haha, the same here!" Ye Yang smiled shyly.

"I don't have such a deep scheming mind like yours. Otherwise, after all these years, I wouldn't be so useless."

"Come, in order to celebrate your achievement and pride of our Eight Desolate City, let's drink a little." As he said that, Li Chengfeng had the envoy set up another two tables of good dishes and even ordered a few jars of good wine.

For a time, the Gu siblings who were unfamiliar with Ye Yang and the Zhao Family disciples who had some enmity with the Ye Family all toasted Ye Yang.

Ye Yang did not reject any of them. His straightforward character gave everyone a good impression. After crippling Senior Ox, which was a warrior, everyone was filled with reverence.

Right now, Ye Yang sat on the table with a heroic spirit. His magnanimity was enough to make people's hearts drop, and a few beauties stared at him with sparkling eyes.

When everyone had left the clan, the elders of the clan had already told them about the Eight Desolate City's method and had repeatedly reminded them to be patient. Today, they had broken this rule and made them believe in him from the bottom of their hearts.

In less than two hours, all of the disciples had drunk their fill and were sent to their respective rooms by messengers.

Li Chengfeng and Ye Yang continued to drink at the table. Ye Yang's eyes were clear, without the slightest hint of drunkenness, Li Chengfeng sighed to himself, it was great to be young. Looking at Ye Yang who was in high spirits, it was as if he could see himself as a young man.

"Uncle Li, the matter today shouldn't cause too much trouble right?" He poured a bowl of wine for Li Chengfeng and filled his own bowl.

"Trouble? "What trouble? The Tianwu Academy has their own rules, and both sides are willing to compete, regardless of whether or not they are injured, they will all be crippled. Although you all have not entered the Tianwu Academy yet, if you all participate in the assessment, then you all will be protected by the rules," Li Chengfeng said disdainfully as he drank a mouthful of wine.

"In other words, as long as it follows the rules of the Tianwu Academy, there won't be any problems even if we play around." Ye Yang's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"That's right, the Tianwu Academy is outside of the empire and is not under the empire's jurisdiction. The power of the outside world cannot penetrate inside, so after you enter the Tianwu Academy, I cannot protect you anymore. You will have to rely on yourself to survive inside." Li Chengfeng said.

"Don't worry Uncle Li, I definitely won't lose face for you." Ye Yang put down his wine bowl and said.

"Also, you have to be careful of the Third Prince. I have heard about your affairs before, that the little girl from the Mu Clan is indeed very good, but if you want to protect what you want, you need to have the appropriate strength to do so," Li Chengfeng suddenly said.

"Yes, I will work hard, so I always feel that time is of the essence. I must increase my strength as soon as possible." Ye Yang nodded.

It was just that Li Chengfeng didn't know what Ye Yang meant when he said that time was pressing. If he said that he wanted to break through to the Emperor Realm within three years, he would probably be stupefied from shock.

On the second day, it was almost noon before everyone left. Other than Ye Yang, most of the disciples had too much to drink yesterday, so they couldn't get up.

According to the envoy's report, Wang Qiuyu and her group departed before daybreak. It was obvious that they did not wish to travel together with Li Chengfeng.

However, this was exactly what Ye Yang wanted, lest he see a group of people that he didn't like. Everyone stared at each other, bored to death.

During the next few days, one after another, they met a few teams that were participating in the assessment.

On the seventh day, a group of people finally arrived at their destination, Sky Martial City, the imperial capital of Tianwu Empire. Even though they had already mentally prepared themselves, their mouths were wide open from shock.

Within a thousand miles of the Tianwu City, there were many tall buildings, roads, rivers, and lakes. Ye Yang and the others had tried their best to imagine the empire as vast and prosperous as they could, but they could not compare with the scene in front of them.

However, what Ye Yang did not expect was that they did not enter the center of the city, but instead went to an empty area in the western part of the city. This area was currently filled with people and flying magical beast.

Li Chengfeng explained that this was a teleportation circle in the imperial city, to go to the Tianwu Academy, one must go through the teleportation circle. This was because the Tianwu Academy was still more than ten thousand miles away from the imperial city, and it was surrounded by countless of powerful beasts.

Seeing that the people in front of him were all queuing up to be transported, Ye Yang looked forward and saw that there was a round stage in the plaza. A round pillar was erected around it, and each pillar had a huge rune engraved on it.

At this moment, the round altar was filled with people. An old man was holding a jade plate the size of a washbasin. He pressed his hand on it and the lines on the eight pillars flashed. The space fluctuated and the people on the platform disappeared.

After sending off the seventh wave of people, Ye Yang and the others finally saw a group of familiar faces. Wang Qiuyu brought the disciples of the Luo Ying City to the plaza and gave them a vicious look.

Ye Yang sneered in his heart. You stubborn fellow, if I want to play, I'll play with you. Playing with you is not a goal, but a goal is to play with you until you die.

After more than two hours, it was finally Ye Yang's turn. Everyone was filled with curiosity and excitement as they stepped onto the teleportation formation.

"Tianwu Academy, I, Ye Yang, am here!"
