Chapter 1702: Status and Treatment
"Li Lingtian!"
"Lord Ling Tian!"
"Lord Ling Tian!"
"Uncle!"
Everyone looked at the white-robed figure in the sky. Their expressions changed. Some were shocked and excited, some were worried and helpless, but most of them were filled with anticipation and worship.
At the same time, everyone present shouted. Even those who did not recognize the white-robed figure in the sky knew who it was.
The tens of thousands of experts and citizens of the entire plaza and Divine Yang Hall all bowed and greeted the white-robed figure in the sky. This treatment was even better than that of a Saint Emperor.
Even when the Saint Emperor came out, the people and experts on the square didn’t bow.
After the white-robed figure appeared in the air, everyone bowed to this person. It was simply shocking.
Li Zhengyang’s face was filled with excitement. He was like a child, like a child meeting his parents.
He did not expect his uncle to show up at such a crucial time. In his heart, as long as his uncle was there, there was nothing Li Lingtian could not solve.
He was still so domineering, so supreme, so worshipful.
Indeed, the white-robed figure in the sky was Li Lingtian, the Divine Martial Continent’s Supreme Divine Alchemist.
As it turned out, Li Lingtian had heard about the Pure Sun Empire’s Throning Ceremony when he was having dinner with Xuanyuan Qingqing and the other two Senior Sisters in the Heavenly Wind Pavilion. After leaving the Heavenly Wind Pavilion, he headed straight for the Imperial Palace.
With his cultivation, entering and leaving the palace was as easy as entering and leaving a deserted place.
Xuanyuan Qingqing and her Senior Sisters were originally there to watch the show but Li Lingtian had called them into the Divine Dragon Ring because he sensed a powerful threat in the Pure Sun Empire’s palace. He could come and go as he pleased if he was alone but it would be difficult for him to bring Xuanyuan Qingqing and her Senior Sisters along.
After calling the three of them into the Divine Dragon Ring, he entered the palace alone.
After arriving at the Imperial Palace, he had used the Heavenly Solitude Void Extermination to hide in the air. He had witnessed the entire process. He had not expected the Pure Sun Empire to reach this stage.
What he hated the most was people who had great achievements that shocked their masters. Moreover, everything here was aimed at Li Zhengyang. If it was someone else, he could completely ignore them and would not have come here.
However, this Li Zhengyang was his junior. Although they did not spend much time together, he saved Li Zhengyang when he was young. It was also a fortuitous encounter.
Originally, he had come to see how the Pure Sun Empire was doing. However, when he saw this scene, he was furious. When Marquis Shenji and the others appeared, he had already decided that Marquis Shenji was destined to fall.
He floated in the air and looked at Marquis Shenji coldly.
"That’s right, it’s me."
"I originally came to see Zhengyang, but I didn’t expect to encounter such a thing. Can I be idle?"
"Of course not. I’ve decided to postpone the inauguration ceremony!"
Li Lingtian spoke calmly. His expression was calm and his voice was not loud, but his tone did not allow anyone to disobey him. His gaze swept across the square and every powerhouse and citizen lowered their heads.
In the end, his gaze swept past all the princes and ministers and landed on Marquis Shenji.
Everyone was stunned.
It was obvious that Li Zhengyang was addressing the Crown Prince as his elder. With his status, it was impossible for others to acknowledge him as their elder. He did not expect Li Zhengyang to have Li Lingtian as his elder.
It was obvious that the Divine Martial Continent’s Supreme Divine Alchemist was protecting Li Zhengyang.
Everyone was shocked when they heard Li Lingtian mention the delay of the inauguration ceremony. Even Li Zhengyang was shocked. However, he soon realized that Li Lingtian must have his reasons for doing so.
His tone was even more unyielding than the Holy Emperor’s. Even the Holy Emperor did not dare to make such an absolute statement, yet Li Lingtian had said that he had made up his mind. There was no room for disobedience.
"Postponed?"
"Postponed!"
Marquis Shenji, the God of War of the Southern Heaven, and the other officials were all shocked.
Li Lingtian was obviously helping Li Zhengyang, yet he was asking for a delay. What was he up to?
However, knowing Li Lingtian’s identity, none of them dared to say anything. Instead, they looked curiously at Li Lingtian in the air.
Marquis Shenji and the Southern Heaven’s God of War’s expressions kept changing. They did not know what Li Lingtian was up to and Li Lingtian’s arrogant attitude made them extremely displeased.
"Sir Ling Tian, do you have any instructions?"
The Holy Emperor stood up and greeted Li Lingtian with a smile on his face.
He did not expect his son to be with Li Lingtian. With the help of a legendary figure like Li Lingtian, everything was no longer a problem. He did not expect his son to have such a great fortune.
No wonder Lord Chunyang was willing to help Li Zhengyang. It was probably because of Li Lingtian.
As the Holy Emperor of the Pure Sun Empire, he was supreme but that was only in the Pure Sun Empire. However, he had no advantage against someone like Li Lingtian.
This was because Li Lingtian was the Divine Martial Continent’s number one Heaven Array Master and Supreme Divine Pill Refiner.
He was also a supreme existence of the three great guilds. In front of such a person, no one could put on airs in front of him.
Seeing that even the Sage Emperor had stood up to greet them, all the experts and citizens were excited and shocked.
"Lord Ling Tian!"
"Lord Ling Tian!"
"Lord Ling Tian!"
On the square, tens of thousands of experts and citizens greeted him respectfully.
In the end, all the nobles and ministers, as well as the representatives of the Pure Sun Empire’s Super Clans and Noble Powerhouses, stood up to greet them. Even though Li Lingtian was standing on Li Zhengyang’s side, he was practically standing against them.
However, with Li Lingtian’s status, they would not dare to offend him unless it was absolutely necessary.
It could be said that Li Lingtian controlled more than half of the world’s resources and controlled the world’s most powerful alchemist. Offending Li Lingtian would basically ruin ninety-nine percent of his future.
Tens of thousands of powerhouses and citizens, as well as all the princes, ministers, and family powerhouses, stood up and bowed. Such treatment far exceeded the Holy Emperor’s. Compared to Li Lingtian, the Holy Emperor was nothing.
This was how the strong reigned supreme. Li Lingtian’s status was not something that an Empire’s Holy Emperor could compare to.
"Today, I need to deal with some matters."
Li Zhengyang’s inauguration ceremony will continue later. "
"Just now, Marquis Shenji said that you don’t want to be Marquis Shenji anymore. I’ll grant you your wish."
"Originally, if you hadn’t appeared here, I might have been able to let you off. However, I didn’t expect you to come here and act so arrogantly. In that case, you’re courting death."
Li Lingtian stared coldly at Marquis Shenji as his aura slowly rose.
He was now a mid-stage Demigod, but he didn’t dare to be careless when facing Marquis Shenji, who was at the peak of the Demigod Realm. Moreover, there were other peak of the Demigod Realm experts here.
Moreover, when he arrived, Marquis Shenji was already prepared to make his move.
Furthermore, when he mentioned Marquis Shenji, he knew that Li Lingtian would target him. Based on Li Lingtian’s style and personality, he would not let him off the hook the last time he tried to kill Li Lingtian.
" Li Lingtian, this is the Pure Sun Empire. "
"I hope that the hatred between you and me will not be resolved here."
"Besides, whether I become Marquis Shenji or not is not something an outsider like you can interfere with. Do you think that the Pure Sun Empire doesn’t have anyone? Since you’re courting death, I’ll fulfill your wish."
When Marquis Shenji heard that Li Lingtian was dealing with him today, he was infuriated.
When Li Lingtian first appeared, he told him to scram. He was already furious when he was humiliated by Li Lingtian in front of the powerhouse from the Pure Sun Empire’s core force but he was not given the chance to vent his anger.
Now, he could not hold it in any longer. He channeled all his True Essence and glared at Li Lingtian.
He circulated his True Essence but he did not want to fight Li Lingtian because he felt an inexplicable sense of unease. He did not know what it was either.
As he spoke, he suppressed Li Lingtian and placed him outside the Pure Sun Empire. This way, he could incite other powerhouses to deal with Li Lingtian.
"Back then, you chased after me."
"You should have thought of today."
"Do it. Don’t regret it when the time comes."
Li Lingtian’s aura had reached its peak. Instantly, the terrifying aura stirred the space and the space trembled. The entire scene was horrifying.
Just as Li Lingtian’s aura appeared, a powerful defensive halo appeared above the Divine Yang Hall. A faint glow appeared on the ground before it disappeared.
However, they all understood that the defenses of this place had been strengthened and could completely withstand a great battle between experts.
Upon seeing this, the experts on the square retreated hurriedly. The nobles and ministers in front of the Divine Yang Hall also stood up and left their seats.
Everyone knew that a great battle was inevitable. They could also tell that the Holy Emperor and the people from the palace did not stop Li Lingtian and allowed him to deal with Marquis Shenji.
Marquis Shenji could also see the situation.
He had never expected Li Lingtian to appear at such a crucial moment. Li Lingtian’s appearance meant that something had happened.
Moreover, he had personally experienced Li Lingtian’s terrifying strength when he was hunting him down. The Early Demigod had forced him to destroy his avatar and his Forbidden Divine Abilities were all countered by Li Lingtian.
In the end, he had even unleashed the Umbra Energy, replacing his depleted Vital Essence with Umbra Energy. He had reached the peak of his cultivation base and was eventually tricked by Li Lingtian.
If Li Lingtian had not been too careful, he would have been killed by Li Lingtian.
Now that Li Lingtian had returned and recovered from his injuries, he was confident that he could do it. Otherwise, he would not have come knocking on his door.
Even if Li Lingtian’s cultivation base did not improve, he was no match for Li Lingtian now. This was because his clone had been destroyed and his injuries had yet to recover. Hence, his abilities were not as strong as before.
The pressure she felt when facing Li Lingtian had reached a terrifying level.
