Chapter 999 - Experts Enter the Imperial Palace
The proud descendants of the Ji Clan were currently shaken to their core.
“I have to admit, Zhang Daoling is quite the eccentric. Peerless Peak has existed for centuries, yet if you counted all its members—past and present—you wouldn’t even reach ten. But these people are all dragons and phoenixes amongst men, possessing extraordinary strength. Fighting those above their levels is as natural as breathing for them.”
The middle-aged man’s tone carried both admiration and respect.
“Then, Elder, now that the True Martial Academy’s Peerless Peak has gotten involved—”
The middle-aged man’s eyes revealed a meaningful smile. Before the woman could continue, he cut her off.
“Hanyou, you don’t need to concern yourself too much with these matters. All you need to know is that if you’re strong, all schemes and plots will be useless. Sovereign Zhuge Qingfeng could rule the Holy Spirit Ancient Nation for so many years not because of his political skill, but because of his absolute, unrivaled strength.”
Ji Hanyou bowed and nodded. “Hanyou understands.”
“Alright, we’re only here to deliver the wedding invitations. The upheaval has nothing to do with us. Just treat it as if we’re here to watch a good show. When it ends, we’ll just deliver the invitations. We do not need to stick our hands into this matter,” said the middle-aged man.
“Mmm.” Ji Hanyou nodded, then hesitated before furrowing her brows. “I heard that Zhuge Yan had once lost to Chen Fan, and it was a crushing defeat to boot. Now, he’s challenging Chen Fan to a life-and-death battle. Could it be that he has something up his sleeve?”
“Hoho, since Zhuge Yan dared to propose a life-and-death battle, I’m sure he has some confidence. With the Prince Jing Mansion and the Sun Moon Divine Sect backing him, they’ll spare no effort to push his cultivation to the next level. When the time comes, with the help of some powerful treasures, it won’t be impossible for him to kill someone in the ninth-level Manifestation realm.
“Although Chen Fan is a Peerless Peak freak and can skip levels and fight, I heard that his cultivation is only in the fifth-level Manifestation realm. In that case, Zhuge Yan has a very high chance of killing Chen Fan to wash away the shame he had suffered.
