914: C914 Emperor Tantai

C914 Emperor Tantai

After all, even someone as powerful as the Tantai family... Tantai Xiandi was the only one in the clan who had broken through to the initial stage of the Saint Plane. If he could make a breakthrough because of this... The Zuoqiu Clan would have one more person in an instant.

Boom! Boom!

Almost like a bolt of lightning that tore through the void, the palm seal formed in the void directly appeared above Ling Jian's head.

Next to Ling Jian. Both Ling Yun and Tantai You were visibly moved.

However, Ling Jian, who was the one involved, wasn't that nervous. He could sense that the palm print above his head wasn't the full power of Zuoqiu Tian Yu. However, it was still very powerful.

However, his physical body had long possessed the ability to contend against a Saint. Hence, even if this palm print landed on his body, he would not feel much.

Just as the palm print that seemed to have descended from the sky was about to land on the ground and kill Ling Jian, all the Tantai Clan cultivators had this thought in their minds.

However, it was at this moment.

Suddenly, a powerful aura that was similarly not weaker than Zuoqiu Tian Yu's suddenly surged out from the depths of the Tantai Clan Estate without any warning. After which, it instantly spread in all directions. It surged out.

After which, a scene that caused everyone to be shocked occurred.

On top of the Tantai family's main gate, countless diagrams of array formations appeared. Following which, with a bang, a burst of energy erupted from the main gate. In an instant, the palm print that was about to land on Ling Jian's body was easily shattered.

After seeing such a change, Zuoqiu Tian Yu's eyes instantly narrowed in the sky. As for Zuoqiu Meng by the side, his expression trembled slightly. Then, his gaze looked towards the depths of the Tantai Clan.

"It's Father. Father has come out." Tantai You had noticed this scene as well, and he immediately cried out in pleasant surprise. If the Tantai Deceased Emperor were to make a move, then Zuoqiu Tian Yu would probably not be able to fulfill his wish no matter what.

After all, even though she hadn't seen the Tantai Emperor make an appearance yet, in the entire Tantai Clan, only the Tantai Emperor was capable of blocking Zuoqiu Tian's attack.

The young cultivators of the Tantai Clan had similarly noticed this scene, and they immediately looked towards the depths of the Tantai Clan. After that, they saw a figure fly out from the depths of the Tantai Clan. He rushed over and arrived in front of them in the space of a breath's time. He had turned into a middle-aged human figure.

The middle-aged man was similar to Tantai You in terms of points. He was the current head of the Tantai Clan, the previous Emperor Tantai.

When they saw the head of the Tantai family appear, the young cultivators at the main gate of the Tantai family all bowed to the Tantai Emperor.

"Greetings, head of the Tantai Family."

A loud voice was heard from the cultivators.

Tantai You didn't choose to do so. However, when he saw the previous Emperor, a hint of joy appeared on his face.

"Father, what about my side?" Tantai You shook his head at the Tantai Emperor in the sky.

The Tantai Emperor raised his head and looked down as well. When he saw Tantai You, he retracted his gaze in annoyance.

"Hmph. The Tantai Family Head had been watching from the inside. Now, he's finally willing to appear. "

Zuoqiu Tian Yu spoke in a neutral tone when he saw this.

"Haha, the Zuoqiu Clan's Patriarch has personally descended. I naturally won't ignore it." The tone of the Tantai Emperor was indifferent as he looked at Zuoqiu Tian Yu and spoke with a casual smile.

"The Patriarch of the Tantai Clan should know why I'm here, right? You attacked him in secret earlier. Could it be that you want to keep this kid here? " Zuoqiu Tian Yu spoke coldly, and at the same time, his gaze descended onto Ling Jian. Killing intent surged wildly in his eyes.

"Haha, Patriarch Zuoqiu's words are a little overboard. Previously, you attacked within the territory of my Tantai Family. As the landlord, I naturally had to interfere as well." The Tantai Emperor said coldly.

"Could it be that Patriarch Tantai feels that there is something wrong with what I did earlier?" Zuoqiu Tian Yu glared at the Tantai Emperor and spoke coldly. " What? If it was you, you would probably tear this kid into pieces as well. Dismantling 18 pieces is the right choice, right? "

As he finished speaking, Zuoqiu Tian Yu's voice became even colder. It felt as if he wanted to directly kill the Jing Ling Sword before he was willing to do so.

"This..." The Tantai Emperor instantly felt speechless.

He and Zuoqiu Tian Yu were both the leaders of the two top powers in Tongxuan City, and they'd similarly dealt with Zuoqiu Tian Yu quite a few times in the past few years. He naturally understood Zuoqiu Ling's position in Zuoqiu Tian Yu's heart even more clearly. Even if it was said that he would grant all requests... It probably wouldn't be an exaggeration.

"The matter has already occurred, and it's impossible to turn back. I can only say that Patriarch Zuoqiu, you'd better accept your condolences." At the end of his words, the Tantai Family's Patriarch said helplessly. However, he didn't mention a single word about Ling Jian.

"Patriarch Tantai, I have something to ask you." Zuoqiu Tian Yu looked at the Tantai Emperor and spoke in a deep voice.

"Speak." The Tantai Deceased Emperor waved his hand nonchalantly. In any case, he had already spoken. He refused to believe that the other party would really tear apart all pretenses of cordiality.

"Previously, Tantai You had said that kid was the son-in-law of your Tantai Clan. I wonder if such a thing had happened?" After saying this, Zuoqiu Tian Yu's eyes shot out an incomparably sharp light. He stared at the Tantai Deceased Emperor and spoke.

Even though the Tantai Emperor had always been in the family estate, it was all because of Zuoqiu Tian Yu's appearance. His attention had long since converged on the door.

Thus, he naturally heard Tantai You's words clearly.

At this moment, when he heard Zuoqiu Tian Yu speak, he snorted lightly. After which, he lowered his head and looked downwards. His gaze descended onto Tantai You before shifting to Ling Jian.

He, as the head of the Tantai Family, had yet to truly agree to the terms of being the son-in-law of the Tantai Family!

On the ground, Tantai You's beautiful eyes were filled with rage. She looked at the Tantai Emperor and waited for his reply. She also wanted to see what the Tantai Emperor meant.

She had truly fallen in love with Ling Jian and was just short of obtaining the Tantai Emperor's approval.

"Patriarch Zuoqiu, I, Emperor Tantai, only have a daughter like Tantai You. She's my son-in-law." Tantai Xian Di laughed lightly as he spoke.

Zuoqiu Tian Yu's eyes flashed. He was about to speak, but at that moment, Tantai Xian Di's next words caused him to frown. His expression instantly froze.

"However, even though it's not the case now, it might be the next step."

The Tantai Emperor smiled faintly.

As the only two initial stage Sages in Tongxuan City, be it Zuoqiu Tian Yu or the Tantai Emperor, it could be said that any action of theirs would become the focal point of the entire Tongxuan City.

And now, although the two of them were conversing outside the Tantai Clan and there were not many cultivators around, in reality, both within the Tantai Clan and outside, there were already quite a number of cultivators silently paying attention to each and every one of their actions.

And now, with Emperor Tantai's words, zuoqiu Tian Yu wasn't the only one whose expression froze because of this. Even the cultivators in the surroundings that were silently paying attention to this area felt unprecedented shock in their hearts.

One had to know that as the Tantai Clan's Patriarch and also the number one expert of Tongxuan City, every single word spoken by the Tantai Emperor had always been true to his words.

Tantai You was his only daughter and her talent in cultivation was not weak either. With time, her future achievements would definitely be limitless.

But now, Emperor Tantai had taken Ling Jian as Tantai You's son-in-law. Didn't that mean that he had already tacitly agreed to betroth Tantai You to Ling Jian?

"This... The clan head actually decided to betroth the young lady to him."

"Isn't it a bit too hasty?"

"The young lady has already stepped into the saint level of array masters. If she enters the Grand Void Palace in the future, she will definitely be greatly nurtured and learn even more profound array formations. How can she marry so easily?"

"This Ling Jian's cultivation is only at the initial-stage of the Heavenly Source Realm. Although his strength is unquestionable, I keep feeling that this isn't safe."

"That's right. Looks like the family head is still a little too impulsive."

...

Within the Tantai family.

At this moment, the ones who were communicating with each other were no longer the younger generation, but the older generation.

Among these people, there were many who were of the same level as the elders of the Tantai Family. They held high positions in the Tantai Family and held high prestige within the family.

According to their requirements, Tantai You's future partner would definitely be a genius disciple of the Great Void Palace and not someone with no background like Ling Jian.

This was because in their opinion, Tantai You's talent and background were clearly qualified.

Although Ling Jian had displayed decent talent and strength, he had still yet to enter the Taixu Palace. No one could guarantee what would happen in the future. Even though Ling Jian looked pretty good now, who knew that he would still be like the rising sun after entering the Taixu Palace?

...

Outside the Tantai Family.

Two terrifying auras collided with each other.

Although the Tantai Emperor and Zuoqiu Tian Yu were both at the initial stage of the Saint realm, the Tantai Emperor had clearly entered this realm longer than Zuoqiu Tian Yu.

Besides entering the initial stage of the Saint realm first, the Tantai Emperor was also a Saint level array master. Thus, even though their realms were the same, Zuoqiu Tian Yu was far from being a match for the Tantai Emperor.

At this moment, Zuoqiu Tian Yu's expression was rather unsightly. He looked at the previous Emperor Tantai in front of him, and an unprecedented baleful aura surged within his eyes.

"Looks like the Tantai Family's Patriarch has already admitted that some of the young fellows are your son-in-law, right?" Zuoqiu Tian Yu looked at the Tantai Emperor and spoke in a cold voice.

"As a father, I naturally have to consider my daughter's safety. Since she likes it, I can only allow her to come." The Tantai Emperor spoke with a flat voice.

After saying this, the Tantai Emperor turned his gaze to where Ling Jian was. There was a hint of anger in his eyes.

Actually, according to his previous intentions, he didn't intend to directly fall out with Zuoqiu Tian Yu. Thus, when he first captured Zuoqiu Tian Yu, he had been observing from the depths of the clan.

After all, even though Ling Jian's natural talent wasn't bad, his strength was unexpected. But she was only an ordinary person in the end, so she was naturally unable to compare to Zuoqiu Tian Yu. So, even if he had some relationship with Tantai You, he didn't want to completely fall out with Zuoqiu Tian Yu because of Ling Jian.

However, Tantai You had already said that Ling Jian was her man. If he, as his father, did not do it... Outsiders would also say something. At that time, the relationship between him and Tantai You would form a slight estrangement because of this.

No matter what, this scene was definitely not something he was willing to see.

On the ground, Tantai You could sense the helplessness of the previous Emperor Tantai and immediately raised his head. Her beautiful eyes blinked at the Tantai Emperor.

Her heart was extremely happy. It was as though she had just eaten honey.

Now that Emperor Tantai had appeared, it was obvious that he had tacitly approved of Ling Jian's existence.

Even though it was all because of her own decision, she had still managed to protect Ling Jian in the end.

"Ling Jian, you'll be safe this time. With my father making a move, this Zuoqiu Tian Yu won't be able to stir up any trouble." Tantai You spoke to Ling Jian beside him in a low voice, and his words were filled with pride.

Ling Jian nodded when he heard this, and his face was overflowing with a smile.

However, even if the previous Emperor Tantai didn't appear, even if Zuoqiu Tian Yu was a cultivator at the initial-stage of the Saint Realm, he was nothing.

A mere Zuoqiu Tian Yu was something he could deal with alone.

After all, he could kill the Lightning Kirin that had already reached the initial-stage of the Saint Realm in the Chaotic Black Sky. Now, with his current strength, he was able to deal with ordinary cultivators at the intermediate-stage of the Saint Realm. He might be able to fight it.

Facing a mere initial-stage Saint like Zuoqiu Tian Yu, if he were to unleash his full strength, he would definitely kill Zuoqiu Tian Yu on the spot.

Of course, only Ling Jian himself knew this. Tantai You didn't realize that Ling Jian's current strength had already reached such a powerful extent. It was truly because the disparity between them was too great. This kind of strength was too ridiculous.

After all, Ling Jian was only at the early stages of the Heavenly Source Realm. Most Heavenly Execution Realm cultivators wouldn't even have the courage to fight him.

However, Ling Jian was now able to directly surpass the Heavenly Execution Realm and kill cultivators at the intermediate stage of the Saint Realm.

She didn't believe it, but even in the entire East Taitian, no one would believe it.

If they knew that Ling Jian had killed the Divine Incarcerate Sect Master of the Heavenly Execution Realm when he had just stepped into the early stage of the Heavenly Awakening Realm, their hearts would not be able to take it anymore!1

After all, for ordinary cultivators, being able to cross a small realm and tirelessly kill enemies was already considered quite impressive.

If it were those geniuses, they might be able to agree to the realm. Therefore... Early stage versus middle stage, late stage, but very few would return after entering this cultivation level for a short period of time. Even the experts of the next realm could be killed to a ridiculous degree...

...

In the sky.

At this moment, Zuoqiu Tian Yu's face was gloomy like water. He glanced at his surroundings and didn't continue speaking.

He naturally hadn't known the Tantai Emperor for a single day or two. He was extremely clear about the Tantai Emperor's character.

Presently, the Tantai Emperor had already acknowledged the relationship between Ling Jian and the Tantai Clan. Therefore, even if she used all her strength, she would not be able to kill Ling Jian here.

"Alright. Since the Tantai Clan Head had already spoken, however... I don't need to disgrace myself here." Zuoqiu Tian Yu spoke coldly, and he didn't seem to have too many emotional fluctuations on the surface. However, in reality, the depths of his heart was incomparably gloomy.

"Patriarch Zuoqiu came all the way here and is leaving so soon? Isn't he going to come in and have a seat? " The Tantai Emperor smiled, but he seemed to be smiling insincerely.

"Haha, I, Zuoqiu, appreciate the good intentions of the Tantai Clan's Patriarch." The Zuoqiu Clan smiled faintly, but they truly did not wish to stay here for even a moment.

"Since that's the case, let's do it this way. However, the matters of my Tantai family that are more important than your Dynamic Niece are all on my Tantai family's shoulders. When we return, I'll ask my clansmen to bring gifts over to apologize." The Tantai Emperor said with a faint smile.

Zuoqiu Tian Yu's expression was gloomy, and his voice was icy cold as well. "There's no need for that. This time, even if it's Dynamic Pictures, she'll only suffer the consequences of her own actions."

After that, Zuoqiu Tian Yu suddenly waved his hand after he finished speaking, and then he spoke coldly to Zuoqiu Meng. "Meng'er, let's leave this place."

Zuoqiu Tian Yu had already spoken. Even if Zuoqiu Meng was extremely unwilling in his heart, he had no choice but to leave with Zuoqiu Tian Yu.

Swoosh!

Swoosh.

Instantly, no matter if it was Zuoqiu Tian Yu or Zuoqiu Meng, both of their figures instigated them to transform into a long arc that shot explosively into the distance at the first possible moment.

"Father, could it be that the matter of agility is really going to be forgotten just like that?" After he left the Whispers of the Tantai Clan, Zuoqiu Meng spoke with a gloomy voice.

At this moment, his expression was extremely unsightly. This was something that he hadn't imagined before coming here. He had originally thought that the two experts of his clan would make an appearance this time. At that time, who would have thought that... The final outcome was actually them returning in defeat!

"What else? Now that the previous Emperor Tantai has intervened, we can only swallow our anger." Zuoqiu Tian Yu spoke coldly, and then his gaze descended onto Zuoqiu Meng with displeasure.

This time, he'd truly lost all face.

He was berated by Zuoqiu Tian Yu like this. Zuoqiu Meng lowered his head in extreme shame.

The Tantai Clan's Patriarch was a genuine initial-stage Saint, whereas he was merely at the initial-stage of the Half-step Saint Realm. There was a huge gap between him and the Tantai Emperor, and he was utterly unable to change anything.

The Tantai Emperor's personality was rather stubborn. For example, if something were to happen between him and the Tantai Emperor, he would have no choice but to accept it. He was afraid that no one would be able to change his mind so easily. Therefore... If he wanted to kill Ling Jian, he would have to use all the strength of the Zuoqiu Clan to raise the clan. He would probably be unable to gain any benefits from it. Not only that... It will also worsen the bad relationship between the two families.
