Now that I think about it, the Ancestor's attitude towards Shen Mengchen is indeed much better than that towards ordinary geniuses. Not only the Ancestor, but even his Xiu and the Empress have been paying attention to Shen Mengchen's news constantly.
At first, he thought it was because Xiu and the Empress cared about the talents of the Da Qian Dynasty, but looking back now, there was something off about it long ago; he just never realized it.
However.
Feeling the strange and unbothered gazes from the surrounding Martial Kings of various dynasties, Ding Guanshi was both shocked and furious.
If he still didn't know that this matter was actually no secret within the Da Qian Dynasty, then he would be quite foolish. It was likely that many Martial Kings in the entire Da Qian Dynasty were aware of this news, and he was the only one completely deceived.
“Guanshi, this person is speaking nonsense!” Ding Qianqiu shouted angrily.
“Ancestor, rest assured. How could Guanshi be deceived by this person? Moreover, the Da Qian Dynasty is something the Ancestor has maintained with great effort; how could Guanshi doubt the Ancestor?”
Even though Ding Guanshi knew that his Empress and the Ancestor were colluding, he could only hold back his anger and grit his teeth as he spoke. “Haha, truly magnanimous. After all, although you are the Emperor of the Da Qian Dynasty, you are merely a puppet on the surface. With your mid-Seventh Level cultivation, in Ding Qianqiu's eyes, you are nothing but a waste. If Ding Qianqiu needed it, let alone an Empress, even you yourself would willingly be cleaned up for Ding Qianqiu to enjoy, in hopes of gaining his support, right?”
“You little brat, if you keep talking nonsense, I will chop you into pieces!” Ding Qianqiu roared, his eyes turning green with rage. “At your age, you still don't know how to cultivate and nurture yourself, making such a racket here, what kind of demeanor is that? But I must say, your abilities are indeed impressive; at such an old age, you surprisingly managed to raise a bastard. But I'm sorry, back then I wasn’t aware that Shen Mengchen would turn out to be your bastard. Otherwise, how would I have easily killed him? I would certainly have 'entertained' him well.”
Qin Chen smiled, not minding adding salt to Ding Qianqiu's wounds.
“Ah, I want all of you to die!”
Ding Qianqiu was originally wary of Qin Chen and was secretly recovering his injuries, but after just a few words, he was so enraged that he couldn't help but attack Qin Chen.
Qin Chen sneered. This guy actually dared to attack him. Without any intention to retreat, he slashed out with his sword.
Swish!
The big black cat also suddenly vanished into the void, a vague sense of crisis enveloping Ding Qianqiu's mind.
Ding Qianqiu's face turned ugly, and he immediately halted his attack, retreating rapidly.
Qin Chen feigned a move, sheathed his sword, and did not pursue the attack.
“Liu Tai Ancestor, Xuan Rui Your Majesty, Mo Family Head, we are late.”
Putting away his long sword and ignoring Ding Qianqiu, Qin Chen directly approached Liu Tai and the others, a look of anger on his face as he observed the three bloodied figures.
A mid-Seventh Level peak Martial King from the Da Qian Dynasty saw this scene, his eyes flashed, and his figure suddenly shifted, directly rushing towards Liu Tai and the others. Boom! His large hand reached out, attempting to capture Liu Tai and the others.
Clearly, he noticed that Qin Chen cared for Liu Tai and aimed to seize them as hostages.
“Looking for death!”
Qin Chen's gaze turned cold. This person actually dared to attack Liu Tai and the others after he had repelled Ding Qianqiu. Did he truly think he was easy to deal with?
In a rage, Qin Chen acted.
Swish.
A streak of sword light cut across, dazzling the heavens.
That Martial King's face changed drastically, and his outstretched hand immediately withdrew. He had a sense that if that sword light struck him, the backlash from the sword qi would injure him, but he didn't know how severe the injury would be.
