Chapter 75: A Monkey Calls the Shots in the Mountain Where There Is No Tiger

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Tie Niu from the Northern Mystic Gate, Zhao Taiping from Mount Wufeng, Liu Fangxia from the Silver Cave, Zhou Zhiqing from the Goddess Peak, and Huang Sanfeng from Mount Qianyuan.”

Huo Qiyun listed a few names with a faint smile. He actually recognized those people just from their voices.

Lin Ran looked at Huo Qiyun in surprise. “You’ve really not wasted the past few years wandering around the country. You know a lot of people, don’t you?”

“I’ve killed many people from these five sects. After Empress Sister ascended the throne, they have secretly expressed their dissatisfaction many times. If people from the martial world participated in the rebellion, they must be among them.”

As Huo Qiyun spoke, he took out a white handkerchief and folded it into a triangle to cover his face.

Seeing this, Lin Ran asked curiously, “What are you doing? Are you afraid that they’ll seek revenge?”

“I’m afraid they won’t dare to seek revenge.”

Huo Qiyun shook his head and smiled. “These people are just small fries. If they run away in fear when they see me, how can they catch the big fish?”

“I see.”

Lin Ran nodded. He thought that the martial artists who dared to attend the banquet must have a clear conscience, but now it seemed that he had underestimated these people’s courage.

After a quick explanation, Huo Qiyun signaled Lin Ran to remain silent. Then, the two of them pricked up their ears and listened quietly.

After everyone sat down, the banquet officially began.

The empress raised her cup to thank everyone. She did not expect Tie Niu to make a scene again.

“I didn’t help during the rebellion. I won’t drink this wine!”

After Tie Niu finished speaking, he poured the wine in his cup onto the ground. Immediately, everyone gasped. No matter what occasion it was, this would be considered a great offense!

Even so, the empress did not show any anger. Instead, she chuckled and said, “TIe Niu is indeed straightforward. However, if you don’t want to drink the wine, why did you come?”

“Of course it’s for him!”

Tie Niu pointed at the empty seat beside the empress. “That place is reserved for the Sword God, right? He has been missing for decades. I rushed over because I wanted to see if it was true that he had come out of seclusion.”

A cold glint flashed across the empress’s eyes, but it disappeared in an instant. She continued to raise her glass and smiled. “In that case, you have to drink this glass of wine even more because this is also a banquet I hold for the Sword God!”

“For the Sword God?”

Everyone was in an uproar. From what the empress said, the rumor that the Sword God had come out of seclusion was most likely true. But why didn’t he appear?

Just as everyone was feeling puzzled, Tie Niu asked, “Why didn’t he show up then? According to the rules of my sect, if one is late, one will be punished to drink three glasses of wine!”

The empress chuckled. “Sure thing. However, you have to down your glass of wine before you can see him.”

“Is that so? Then I’ll drink it!”

As Tie Niu spoke, he raised his wine cup and said, “Servant! Fill my cup!”

After he finished speaking, none of the eunuchs stepped forward.

Tie Niu couldn’t help but look displeased. He glared at them and said angrily, “Are you all deaf? I said fill my cup!”

“Your glass of wine is on the ground.”

The empress said coldly with no trace of a smile on her face, “Guard, help Tie Niu finish his wine.”

As soon as she finished speaking, two guards rushed over. They grabbed Tie Niu’s arms and restrained him. Before Tie Niu could react, they grabbed his head and pinned him against the ground.

“Ouch!”

Tie Niu was caught off guard and his front teeth were broken. The smell of blood instantly filled his mouth, and his eyes turned red. He wanted to attack, but just as he released his fourth level Martial Master aura, the two guards released their aura at the same time. They were at the sixth level of the Martial Master Realm!

At the same time, the other guards by the palace wall seemed to have received a signal. They pressed their hands on the hilts of their swords and released their auras. Among them, the sixth level of the Martial Master Realm was the lowest. Some of them had even reached the realm of Senior Martial Master!

It had to be known that the average realm of the sect masters and elders present was only at the Senior Martial Master Realm. Grandmaster Realm was rare, and most of them had sided with the empress.

The few sect masters and elders who were about to stand up to help sat back down silently, lowering their heads as if this matter had nothing to do with them.

Tie Niu was already furious after being restrained. Seeing that no one was helping him, he became even angrier. He struggled and shouted, “Sect Master Chen! Elder Huang! Master Zhao! You promised to help me! Why aren’t you saying anything now?”

The ones who were mentioned hurriedly covered their faces with their hands. Tie Niu looked to the other side and said, “Sect Master Liu! What did you say last night at the Eight Directional Mountain? I…”

“Shut up!”

Master Liu shouted. He raised his hand and shot out a black shadow. It was so fast that the guards beside Tie Niu could not react in time. The black shadow instantly pierced through Tie Niu’s head and nailed him to the ground. It was actually an ordinary bamboo chopstick!

Blood splattered and the scene was in an uproar!

The sect masters and elders had solemn expressions. It was not because someone died, but because they did not expect Master Liu to be able to kill with bamboo chopsticks!

“Protect His Majesty!”

Li Tianyi hurriedly shouted at the top of his lungs. Before the guards present could move, Master Liu had already stood up and knelt on the ground.

“Your Majesty! This person has repeatedly spoken rudely to you and ignored the rules of the palace and the dignity of the royal family! I can’t take it anymore, so I killed him here as a warning to others! Please forgive me for disturbing such a joyful occasion!”

When the empress heard this, her face turned ashen. She knew that Master Liu was trying to silence Tie Niu, but she did not have any evidence to accuse him of that. At this moment, she could not punish people rashly. She could only wave her hand and force a smile. “Master Liu, you did it to uphold the rule. What kind a crime…”t

“The crime of deceiving the emperor!”

A cold shout interrupted the empress. Immediately after that, a white figure rushed in from outside the Gate of Supreme Harmony. Accompanied by the sound of a sharp blade being unsheathed, a cold light came straight at Master Liu!

Everyone cried out in shock. Master Liu also sensed that something was wrong. He released all his power and instantly flashed behind the white figure. He was about to attack when another even more majestic aura descended from the sky!

A powerful sword intent exploded out of thin air. Everyone present was instantly so shocked that their faces turned pale. Even though they had already activated their cultivation to resist, they were still pressed to the ground by the pressure and could not move!

“A monkey calls the shots in the mountain where there is no tiger.”

A cold laugh sounded. Everyone lying on the ground turned their heads with difficulty and saw a figure walking over from outside the gate.

Dressed in a black embroidered robe with dragon patterns and equipped with Dragon Roar, he gave off a dignified aura that made people not dare to resist.

Ten Mile Sword God! Half-Saint Realm!

The two hundred or so martial artists came to a conclusion at the same time. The rumors were true! The Ten Miles Sword God had really come out of seclusion!
