Pei Qing stared at Qin Wentian, his eyes flashing with killing intent.
In the past, he was the youngest immortal emperor in the history of the dynasty, receiving boundless respect no matter where he went. Even immortal emperors had to be polite to him. There were no places in the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty that restricted his access, even the Darknorth Immortal Emperor treated him differently. Who didn't know that his achievements in the future would definitely be high?
But right now, in the residence of Beiming Youhuang, a junior from nowhere actually dared to call him shameless in public, wanting him to scram?
"I will give you a chance to take back those words. Kneel down before me and apologize before scramming out of the princess residence and I will treat this as if nothing has happened before." Pei Qing's face was lost in front of Beiming Youhuang, he wanted nothing more than to kill Qin Wentian off directly. However, this place was after all Beiming Youhuang's residence, he had to reign in his impulses. Hence, he told Qin Wentian to kneel and apologize before scramming. This was undoubtedly the best choice. He would kill Qin Wentian in the future.
"Don't you understand human speech? Do you need me to repeat what I said?" Qin Wentian stared at Pei Qing. "Since this is the case, let me repeat myself. This place is the royal palace of the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty, Youhuang's residence. Who the hell you think you are? Pointing your fingers here and there, are you even qualified?"
"This fellow…" Beiming Nongyue stared at Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian was truly gutsy enough, being so domineering even before Pei Qing. But then again, Qin Wentian was someone whose status didn't lose out to her. Could it be that he would really obey Pei Qing, knelt down to apologize before scramming away obediently?
Pei Qing's words were truly ugly-sounding and extremely overbearing. If this place was Pei Qing's territory, maybe Qin Wentian would just endure it. But this place was the royal palace of the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty, would Pei Qing really dare to kill him here?
Beiming Youhuang and Beiming Nongyue both didn't like Pei Qing at all.
"Who do I think I am?" Pei Qing suddenly laughed in a very sinister manner. He glanced at the experts beside him, those experts all began to laugh as well.
"Although my record has been broken, only Princess Youhuang who is now the youngest immortal emperor in history of the dynasty can speak to me equally." Pei Qing spoke in arrogance.
"I've met many shameless people before, but for someone as thick-skinned as you, this is really the first time I encountered it. Your self-praising abilities are so awesome, and you take so much pleasure in it." Qin Wentian coldly laughed. "The first youngest immortal emperor in history of the Darknorth Dynasty? This is merely temporary. Might I ask how old were you when you reached the immortal king realm and how old were you when you reached the immortal emperor realm?"
"I reached the immortal king ream at age 328, and broke through to the immortal emperor realm within a thousand years." Pei Qing's eyes flickered with pride. Such cultivation speed was simply terrifying. No wonder he was the first record holder.
The immortal kings and emperors which Qin Wentian came into contact with, couldn't be considered many and he doesn't really have a concept about the cultivation time needed to reach those levels. However, he knew that his senior brother Bai Wuya took over a thousand years to reach the immortal king realm and this speed was already considered extremely outstanding in the Eastern Sage Thirteen Prefectures, able to allow his name to resound famously through a region.
However, the speed of cultivation of these unaffiliated geniuses still differed by quite a large amount when compared to the geniuses nurtured by peak powers. After all, those geniuses of peak powers had talent as well as unlimited resources. Pei Qing was able to break through to immortal king in about three hundred plus years and to immortal emperor within a thousand years. No wonder he was so arrogant. In addition from what Beiming Nongyue has said, Pei Qing still had a very powerful master.
Pei Qing himself was an immortal emperor. Most probably, his master was a terrifying existence akin to Matriarch Ji, a peak-level emperor.
"Your memory is pretty good, but sadly, you are bragging at the wrong place. Leaving aside the issue of Youhuang breaking your record, I, Qin, have ordinary talent and cultivated less than 200 years yet now I'm already at the immortal king level. You took 328 years? I'm so scared. Such a trashy cultivation speed yet you really think you are number one in the world? I can only sigh in envy at how thick your skin is." Qin Wentian mocked, not giving Pei Qing any face at all.
Pei Qing's eyes flickered as he stared at Qin Wentian. After that he coldly laughed, "Less than 200 years of cultivation and you broke through to immortal king? Why don't you just say you took less than 100 years?"
"How ridiculous, I didn't doubt that you might give false information yet you have the heart of such a small man. However, it's in line with your personality. It's fine if you don't believe it either. Why don't we make a bet and invite immortal emperors of the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty to come and test my bone structure to see my bone age? If I'm above 200 years of age, I will kill myself right away within the royal palace. But if I'm younger than that, you kneel and apologize and you can never enter the royal palace to harass Youhuang ever again. How about it?"
Qin Wentian stared at Pei Qing, exuding a cold intent. Pei Qing wanted to humiliate him and used his arrogance to suppress him? Since this is the case, he didn't mind showing abit of arrogance of his own. Immortal emperor so what? He was now an immortal king, belonging to the same cultivation realm as immortal emperors. He could not weaken his own spirit. After all, he's the son-in-law of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor, a disciple of the Heavenly Talisman Realm, the Saint Lord of the Battle Saint Tribe. How can he be humiliated by a young immortal emperor like Pei Qing?
As his voice rang out, it was truly domineering. The age of cultivators couldn't be known by a single glance, but if an expert were to examine one via bone age, they would definitely be able to tell. Qin Wentian said that if he lied, he would commit suicide, but if he didn't, Pei Qing would have to kneel and apologize before scramming out of the royal palace.
Pei Qing narrowed his eyes, and there was an unsightly expression on his face. He was truly stumped, he didn't dare to gamble on this. If he lost, he had to kneel and apologize. How can this be possible?
"What do you have to gamble with me? Do you even have the qualifications to talk stakes?" Pei Qing mocked coldly.
"You are the one who started bragging about your cultivation speed, you are also the one who started doubting me. If you don't dare to, just tell me directly. Are you using your awesome number one youngest immortal emperor record to pressure people again? I already told you that's worth nothing to me. Want to brag yet you still have the face to speak of qualifications? You have already utterly destroyed your reputation. If I were you, I would scram immediately from here."
Qin Wentian spoke with disdain. Beiming Youhuang stood by his side but didn't say anything. She silently mused that as expected, evil people still had to be dealt with by evil people. This Pei Qing was insufferably arrogant and not that he clashed with Qin Wentian who was also arrogant and shameless enough, yet able to back his talent with facts, Pei Qing couldn't garner any advantage.
She naturally wouldn't help Pei Qing. In reality, she felt Pei Qing was extremely troublesome.
Pei Qing turned ashen. Given his status, he was insulted time and time again. No matter how good his temper is, there was no way he would be able to endure this. Radiating cold intent, pressure of the emperor-rank engulfed the surroundings, gushing forth towards Qin Wentian.
"What? Before this you wanted to compare cultivation speed. Now that you know you are inferior, your embarrassment turned to anger and wants to bully the junior me? Although you look very young, in fact, it wouldn't be too over if I call you old man. A person with a thousand years of cultivation to suppress me. Is this the true basis of your confidence and arrogance? You even wanted to woo Youhuang? Are you even worthy?"
Each word of Qin Wentian was like a knife stabbing into Pei Qing's heart, making him to be unable offer any counter.
"Youhuang, how did you get acquainted with such a shameless man?" Qin Wentian stood beside Beiming Youhuang and asked. He stared at her with tenderness, as though the two of them were extremely close, akin to lovers. Beiming Nongyue who was at the side had a puzzled look on her face… Her mind was in a little chaos now. Her elder sis and Qin Wentian? What was going on? Could it be that they truly had a very good relationship?
"Who is the shameless and thick-skinned one?" Beiming Youhuang silently mused, cursing at Qin Wentian. However on the surface, she didn't do anything that break the illusion. She simply calmly stood there, causing Pei Qing's expression to turn even more ugly.
"Junior brother Jing." At this moment, Pei Qing suddenly called out. After that, a young man with a sharp countenance walked out. His eyes were cold and sharp as he surveyed Qin Wentian.
This person was someone from Pei Qing's sect, it was his junior brother. The talent of his junior brother was outstanding as well and although it wasn't as shocking as Pei Qing, but in perspective of ordinary people, he could be considered one of those extremely powerful heaven chosen or he wouldn't have been able to be in the same sect as Pei Qing.
However for characters like Pei Qing, in the entire history of the Darknorth Dynasty, there were only two - Pei Qing and Beiming Youhuang. No matter how talented other geniuses were, when in comparison to the two, they could only lose their luster.
"Since you say I'm bullying you on the basis that you are a junior. Fine, we will temporarily leave aside cultivation age. Cultivation speed cannot represent one's true strength, there are some who pursue speed, but their actual strength is unbelievably weak. My junior brother Jing is also at the immortal king realm and he has only broken through for tens of years. Why doesn't he spar against you?" Pei Qing coldly spoke. Although he put it nicely and packaged it as a spar, Qin Wentian understood that most probably, Pei Qing had already transmitted his voice telling his junior brother to take his life.
Given Pei Qing's status, there was nothing he didn't dare to do.
"Why must I spar with him?" Qin Wentian suddenly spoke, causing Pei Qing to start as he replied, "Weren't you the one who said that I was bullying you with my cultivation base? Now, you don't dare to fight against someone the same level as you?"
"I don't dare to? More like I don't think that he is qualified. In addition, I hate the word 'sparring.' If you want a fight, just fight, injuries and death are inevitable. But given how shameless you are, if I really killed him, wouldn't you use pressure from your emperor-ranked cultivation base to suppress me? Also, wouldn't members of your sect find me for trouble? Although I'm not afraid, I don't really like trouble." Qin Wentian calmly spoke.
"Since you put it this way, fine. We won't spar, but fight a true combat battle instead. If you can kill him, it will be considered that you are capable and I won't pursue it." Pei Qing's expression was cold. He was truly enraged by Qin Wentian.
"You are so shameless, do you think I can believe you?" Qin Wentian laughed coldly. Pei Qing, an immortal emperor character, was so angered by Qin Wentian that his aura fluctuated wildly.
"I can guarantee that if you can kill junior brother Jing, both me and people of my sect definitely wouldn't find trouble with you." Pei Qing reiterated.
"I still can't believe you." Qin Wentian mockingly laughed. He wasn't a three year old kid. This guarantee was as good as nothing.
"What do you want then?" Pei Qing asked.
"If he loses, you apologize to me and scram out of the royal palace." Qin Wentian coldly spoke.
"So simple? Fine, I will promise you." How could Pei Qing not accept this given how angry he was? He wanted Qin Wentian to die.
His junior brother Jing had actually been in the immortal king realm for about 90 plus years, 90 plus years could also be considered as tens of years if one considered the wording. Before this, when he first met Qin Wentian, Qin Wentian was just at the immortal-foundation realm. An immortal king who had been in this level for 90 plus years against an immortal king who just broke through. There was no need to imagine how this would end.
"Youhuang, I will win. I will chase away this detestable fellow for you, shouldn't you reward me with a kiss?" Qin Wentian smiled at Beiming Youhuang, causing Beiming Youhuang to be so angered that killing intent flashed in her eyes.
Beiming Youhuang coldly shot a glance at him while Qin Wentian smiled, "I was just making a casual comment."
He precisely wanted to anger both Beiming Youhuang and Pei Qing. This Beiming Youhuang really had it easy, standing at the side while watching the drama. As for Pei Qing, there was no need to say anything more about him.
