Chapter 93: Presumptuous!
"Clang!" A clear and melodious sword sound rang out!
As Su Zhan infused his true qi, faint golden sword qi emerged from the blade, thread by thread. He gripped the sword and casually swung it, experiencing the various inscriptions and the quality of the sword's body. A satisfied expression appeared on his face. This sword was much more powerful than the Extreme Sun Sword.
Moreover, when he activated the Gigantification' inscription within it, it could reach a length of five meters. In the future, if he felt tired, he could even lie down and ride the sword, as it was spacious enough.
"I will accept this sword. Actually, you didn't need to come here. I never had any intention of doing anything to you," Su Zhan said to Xia Qitian, tossing the True Martial Sword into his storage ring.
"It was my own inner unrest! It had nothing to do with you, Master Su!" Xia Qitian said, finally relieved, with a sincere expression.
"Well, let's leave it at that then. There's no need to mention it again," Su Zhan nodded and looked at Li Qingyang. "You shouldn't stay here. You'll frighten the others. Find a mountain peak to rest on and wait for me below White Cloud Peak tomorrow."
Upon hearing Su Zhan's commanding tone, Li Qingyang felt annoyed and clenched his fist. But when he thought about his strength just now, he relaxed his fist and responded, "Okay."
With everything resolved, Su Zhan walked towards White Cloud Peak.
As he walked away, Xia Qitian finally completely let go of his worries.
"Elder brother, did you hear that?" Xia Qihai smiled and said, "I told you that Brother Su is magnanimous. Even if you hadn't given him the True Martial Sword, he wouldn't have really come to settle the score with you. Now, how do you feel? Do you regret it?"
"Regret?"
Li Qingyang shook his head repeatedly. "I would regret it if I didn't come! With the strength Su Zhan displayed today, even if I were to give him ten True Martial Swords, just to hear his forgiveness from his own mouth, I would never regret it!"
"He's a fierce warrior who can even defeat experts at the Fish-Dragon Realm Ninth brother, let me ask you, if you had offended such a fierce warrior, could you sleep at night without receiving his forgiveness?"
"Well, that's true" Xia Qihai nodded as he watched Su Zhan walk away.
"Let's go! We should inform our father about today's events. From now on, our royal family's attitude towards the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect might need to change!" Xia Qitian said, and together with Xia Qihai, they left.
At this moment, Su Zhan had just reached the stone path leading to White Cloud Peak.
"Senior Brother Su is so handsome!"
"He is so powerful!"
"Senior Brother Su, look at me!"
Countless disciples of the Sword Sect surged forward like a tide. Their expressions were filled with excitement, and some female disciples even blushed, showing signs of fanatic admiration.
Clear Sun Kingdom.
Royal Palace.
As one of the four major powerful nations among the Fifteen kingdoms, the royal palace of Clear Sun Kingdom was even larger than that of Xia Kingdom. Moreover, it was filled with complex formations and hidden experts.
Inside the grand hall of the palace, King Yang, who had already reached the half-step Fish-Dragon Realm, was reviewing official documents.
"Your Majesty! Elder Li has returned!"
At that moment, the chief eunuch, who had reached the Origin Elixir Realm, walked into the grand hall and knelt down respectfully.
"Oh? He's back so soon. I thought Elder Li would take some time to wander and have some fun!" King Yang chuckled and then said, "Since Elder Li has returned, that Su Zhan from Xia Kingdom is probably dead by now. Excellent! Such a genius, it's for the best that he died in the hands of our Clear Sun Kingdom. This kind of talent should never surpass us."
"Your Majesty, this lowly servant took a glimpse from afar, and behind Elder Li, there was a young man who seemed to be the recently famous divine physique prodigy, Su Zhan!" the chief eunuch reported respectfully.
"Brought him back?" King Yang was momentarily stunned. "Could it be that Elder Li took a liking to this boy's talent and accepted him as a disciple?"
"This lowly servant is not sure, but it seems likely. Otherwise, how can we explain the fact that Su Zhan is still alive in this world?" the chief eunuch lightly laughed. "But if that's the case, it's also a blessing for our Clear Sun Kingdom! Su Zhan is a true divine physique, acknowledged as the most talented individual among the Fifteen kingdoms! If he serves our Clear Sun Kingdom, it will be a great aid to Your Majesty!"
"That's true!" King Yang laughed heartily. "If that's the case, what does this Palace have to be unhappy about? Let's go! Let's go and welcome Elder Li!"
"Yes!"
The two of them walked out of the grand hall.
Soon, they encountered Li Qingyang and Su Zhan in a square.
King Yang bowed respectfully. "Elder Li!"
"Hmm," Li Qingyang responded.
Su Zhan's gaze fell upon the king's royal robe as he spoke, "You must be King Yang? I've heard from Li Qingyang that I need a special key from you to comprehend the Qingyang Sacred Scroll. If that's the case, lead the way!"
King Yang was momentarily stunned, looking at Su Zhan, and suddenly flew into a rage. "How dare you! Even if you have become Elder Li's disciple and can disregard me, how dare you address Elder Li by name directly? You don't know your place! Apologize to Elder Li immediately!"
As those words were spoken, Li Qingyang, who had been relatively calm, was suddenly shocked, realizing the horrifying consequences of angering Su Zhan. He felt a chill run down his spine!
"Slap!"
Filled with anger, Li Qingyang raised his hand and slapped the face of the king, whose status was second only to him in Clear Sun Kingdom. In a bewildered state, he shouted at King Yang in anger, "Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to Lord Su in such a manner! You are the one being presumptuous!!!"
