NOVEL NEXT Chapter 263: What Exactly Is He After!
"Ah——"
Jade Dragon City seemed frozen for a moment, then reacted with a gut-wrenching scream.
He struggled in Qin Zi's hand, like a duck caught and flapping wildly.
"With just this level of strength, and you still want to contest for the position of God-son? Truly overestimating yourself."
Qin Zi sneered disdainfully, then casually threw him off the battle stage as if he were discarding trash.
He ignored the hateful glances from the Yu family's members and turned to the Sun Swallowing Palace Master, saying, "Please announce the result."
The Sun Swallowing Palace Master looked at Qin Zi deeply, then a slight smile of satisfaction appeared on his face.
"Good!"
He scanned the crowd and spoke authoritatively, "Ladies and gentlemen, today's God-son election result has been decided. The new God-son of my Sun-devouring Imperial Palace is... uh, what is your name?"
The Sun Swallowing Palace Master didn't know what the Grand Elder's disciple was called because the Grand Elder liked to keep things mysterious and hadn't mentioned it before.
"Qin Zi."
Qin Zi said calmly.
The Sun Swallowing Palace Master nodded with a smile and continued, "The new God-son is Qin..."
"Hold on!!"
At this moment, an elderly voice rang out, and then a light came roaring in from the horizon.
"Boom!"
Martial Emperor-level pressure spread unchecked, like a storm sweeping everywhere, causing many to stagger.
"This is..."
"The Grand Elder?!"
Someone exclaimed because the person who arrived forcefully was a dignified elder with white hair and a black robe—the Grand Elder of the Sun-devouring Imperial Palace.
Beside the Grand Elder was a young man in a golden robe, standing tall and graceful like a jade tree.
The golden-robed youth had an extraordinary demeanor.
He was like an unrivaled Divine King, gazing indifferently in all directions, as if in this vast world, among his peers, he was the king!
"Grand Elder, this is..."
The Sun Swallowing Palace Master looked at the golden-robed youth, then at Qin Zi on the battle stage, and uncharacteristically hesitated.
This bizarre situation even left a Martial Emperor bewildered.
Others present also fell silent.
"Sorry, we encountered some trouble on the way, which delayed us... haven't arrived too late, right?"
The Grand Elder said with a wry smile.
The Sun Swallowing Palace Master, looking a bit unnatural, pointed to the golden-robed youth and asked, "Who is this young man?"
"Oh, this is the disciple I took in, Jin Zhan. Didn't I mention before? A peerless Divine Body."
The Grand Elder said with a smile.
Wow!
The expressions of everyone became wonderful, and they all looked at Qin Zi, exchanging glances.
Finally, the Sun Swallowing Palace Master realized the seriousness of the situation. He took a deep breath and pointed his right hand slowly at Qin Zi, "Then who is he?"
The Grand Elder was stunned:
"I don't know, why are you asking me? Shouldn't I be asking you? Who is he? Is there such a person in the Imperial Palace?"
The Sun Swallowing Palace Master's face twitched a few times, then a feeling of anger and shame at being deceived surged in his heart.
Wow!
He turned his head sharply, his gaze sharp as he looked at Qin Zi, sternly questioning, "Who are you?!"
What??
Seeing this, Qin Zi was also completely bewildered—what's going on? Weren't they the ones who invited me to join the God-son contest?
Now they suddenly refuse to acknowledge me??
He took a deep breath, looking at the Sun Swallowing Palace Master, and said, neither humble nor arrogant, "I told you, my name is Qin Zi, and I'm here to participate in the God-son contest."
"Who sent you?!"
The Sun-devouring Imperial Palace suppressed the anger in his heart and asked coldly.
"Wasn't it you guys who invited me here? I said it before, an Elder assessed me and told me to come and participate in the God-son contest."
Qin Zi said confidently.
He never lied!
What he said before is what he says now; a gentleman is straightforward, a scoundrel hides.
The Sun Swallowing Palace Master's face twitched; indeed, this person had said so before, but he had assumed that this person was the Grand Elder's disciple, which had led to the current farcical situation.
However, he was even more enraged.
Because this was evidently intentional by this person, deliberately creating misunderstandings, which was not just babbling, but clearly premeditated!
"Nonsense!!"
The Sun Swallowing Palace Master said angrily:
"My Sun-devouring Imperial Palace never assessed you; which Elder did so, speak up, and I will have him confront you face to face!"
"This..."
Qin Xiaozhu was dumbfounded on the spot.
His mind went blank.
He knew that he had fallen into the Sun-devouring Imperial Palace's trap—their plan was obviously that he wouldn't know the Elder's identity, as that Elder never told him!
"You guys... you were the ones who invited me to participate in the God-son contest, now you want to back out?!"
Qin Zi roared:
"I clearly stated before that it was an Elder who let me compete for the God-son, you didn't say anything then. Now that I've won, you're saying I was never assessed. Are you slapping your own face, or do you think everyone here is an idiot?!"
Instantly, everyone exchanged glances.
Even they found this situation strange and couldn't tell who was telling the truth.
Because this might involve a power struggle within the sect, both sides could be lying...
"Hmph, I previously assumed you were the Grand Elder's disciple, and you took advantage of that mistake to default to that identity, did you think this little trick could fool me?!"
The Sun Swallowing Palace Master said coldly.
"You guys... are simply unreasonable! The mighty Sun-devouring Imperial Palace, unable to accept defeat? We agreed before, and now, after I've worked hard to finish, you deny it. How is this different from freeloading!"
Qin Zi sneered:
"With your conduct, you shamelessly call yourselves the Sun-devouring Imperial Palace, you might as well rename to the Free Love Sect!!"
"Insolent——"
The Sun Swallowing Palace Master shouted angrily, releasing a pressure that directly suppressed Qin Zi to the ground, dignifiedly stating:
"I don't care who sent you or what your intentions are, but if you cause trouble in my Sun-devouring Imperial Palace, there's only one path—death!!"
Qin Xiaozhu was pressed to the ground, his cheek against the surface, squashed like a pancake, looking pudgy.
But he refused to admit defeat.
Even though pressed to the ground, he defiantly hummed, "Sun-devouring Earth Palace, you can't stand losing!"
"You're obviously jealous."
"You're envious seeing me, a wild cultivator who happened to learn the Sun Devouring Emperor Scripture, crushing your carefully trained disciples, leaving you disgraced, so you maliciously suppress me!"
"All disciples of the Sun-devouring Imperial Palace are rubbish; no matter who becomes the God-son, they are merely garbage because it's my charity to him!"
"The Sun-devouring Imperial Palace is no big deal! Hahaha!"
Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances.
They recalled Qin Zi's previous invincible demeanor, the kind of strength that, within the same realm, could almost sweep everything!
They still couldn't understand.
What exactly is going on with this young man, because from the current situation, this guy really seems to be causing trouble.
But...
What is he after?!!
Under the eyes of everyone, he came alone to cause trouble in the Sun-devouring Imperial Palace, this is plainly courting death!
If someone was worthless and had a death wish, it might make sense to provoke deliberately, but this guy has such astonishing talent, the absolute demeanor of a Martial Emperor, even potentially reaching the legendary extreme realm!
Would such a person seek his own death?
Can't figure it out, can't figure it out!!
And at this moment, a cold voice echoed: "A waste trampled underfoot also dares to shout?"
The golden-robed youth slowly walked out.
His golden eyes looked down on Qin Zi, like a deity above, and said indifferently, "If I wanted the position of God-son, I could get it effortlessly, why would I need your charity? What... do you think you are?"
