The imperial palace shook, and a great change swept through the court.
Jun Yu was going crazy.
He didn't give Tai An Di any face.
He even slapped him.
If you're going to be Emperor, just be one.
Why the hell are you messing around?
You want to attack the Jixia Academy? Are you insane?
Such arrogance shocked countless people.
Even the Grand Eunuch Zhuo Qing, who arrived shortly after, knelt before Jun Yu's overwhelming power.
Their realms were simply too far apart.
Even with Zhuo Qing's Void Embrace Technique, he was no match for Jun Yu.
Jun Yu easily defeated his opponent, but he was already moving on to his next target.
The Emperor had set three traps to deal with Li Chang Sheng.
But, today they were used on Jun Yu.
***
Tai An Di, shaken and shocked, finally came to his senses.
He quickly summoned the eunuch on duty and asked about the situation.
He had hoped that Zhuo Qing could manipulate Jun Yu.
Instead, he was instantly killed.
Tai An Di's face turned ashen.
He was utterly hopeless.
Now he could only issue an edict, mobilizing the Imperial Guard and all the forces of the palace to protect him.
He couldn't let Jun Yu just leave.
Where would the Emperor's face be?
"Has the Imperial Preceptor arrived? Is the Imperial Preceptor here?!"
Finally, someone reported, in response to his anxious inquiries.
The Imperial Preceptor, Qi Tian Chen, had arrived.
And he was currently trying to stop Jun Yu.
After all, Jun Yu was the disciple of Qingfeng Daoist of Huanglong Mountain.
He was one of the few in the world who could rival Li Chang Sheng.
With him there, surely he could suppress Jun Yu, the Nameless Young Master?
A glimmer of hope appeared in Tai An Di's eyes.
He waited for good news to arrive.
***
Within the palace.
On the long, narrow corridor.
Qi Tian Chen, with white hair and wearing a white robe, appeared in front of Jun Yu, holding a whisk.
The old Celestial Master, who should have been facing Li Chang Sheng, was now facing his senior disciple, Jun Yu.
Actually, he was somewhat relieved.
At least he wouldn't have to fight at full strength.
But when Jun Yu appeared, Qi Tian Chen regretted it.
Monster!
A true monster.
They're out to kill me! This Jun Yu, his strength is absolutely no less than Li Chang Sheng's!
He's at least at the Half-Step Divine Wander Realm.
How do I fight him?
"Nameless Young Master? Li Chang Sheng's senior disciple!"
Qi Tian Chen sighed inwardly, but still forced a smile.
"Imperial Preceptor, you shouldn't be here!"
"I have no choice. I heard that His Majesty summoned you, so I came to take a look."
"Humph, His Majesty? Only fools like you would be willing to be his slaves!"
Jun Yu looked down on them. He couldn't understand how they could possess such divine power and still bow to mortals.
Qi Tian Chen was incredibly embarrassed.
He was the Imperial Preceptor of a nation, how could he be so disrespected?
"What you said... makes it hard to continue this conversation. You didn't do anything to His Majesty, did you?"
He had to at least maintain appearances.
Jun Yu smiled.
"He's gone mad. He wants to kill me and my Master. Guess what? I'm not exactly sane either."
There was no need to say more.
If Li Chang Sheng were here, Qi Tian Chen would have pretended to fight him. But now? Jun Yu was just a junior. Could he possibly lose to him?
He hardened his heart and finally unleashed Huanglong Mountain's secret techniques.
He thought he could at least intimidate Jun Yu.
Even if they fought to a draw, it would be acceptable.
But, Jun Yu's first move was incredibly familiar.
This is…
The Eight Trigrams Heart Gate!
Taiji gives birth to two forces, the Eight Trigrams transform all things!
Jun Yu's moves subtly changed.
Invisible Eight Trigrams formations appeared in front of him.
It was their Huanglong Mountain's secret technique.
Qi Tian Chen was utterly shocked.
"How do you know my Huanglong Mountain's secret techniques? Did you meet my junior brother, Mo Yi?"
"Yes. I went to Penglai Immortal Island and sparred with Mo Yi for over a year. I learned all of this from him."
Jun Yu remained calm, effortlessly performing Huanglong Mountain's secret techniques, constantly strengthening his power.
He actually showed signs of suppressing Qi Tian Chen.
Both were at the Half-Step Divine Wander Realm, and they should have been equals.
But Jun Yu's sudden attack threw Qi Tian Chen off balance.
He was instantly at a disadvantage.
When their Eight Trigrams Heart Gates collided,
He sighed.
"I'm old. I can't keep up with the young generation anymore!"
He subtly took a step back, ready to make a fool of himself and lose.
But, Jun Yu's power was perfectly controlled.
After Qi Tian Chen conceded defeat, he calmly withdrew his power.
He let the old man fall to the ground and bowed his head. "I accept your defeat!"
He then turned and walked away, leaving the old man behind.
Qi Tian Chen dodged a bullet and couldn't help but laugh.
He suddenly felt at ease.
"No wonder my junior brother befriended you. Jun Yu, you're truly exceptional!"
He then laughed out loud, declaring that the world was no longer for old men like him.
He turned and left, no longer bothering with the matter.
Qi Tian Chen, a great Imperial Preceptor and the heir of Huanglong Mountain, had actually lost!
The whole incident took place in a blink of an eye, and the Imperial Guard responsible for security was completely dumbfounded.
They hastily reported the situation to the Emperor, informing Tai An Di.
When Tai An Di learned that even the Imperial Preceptor had been defeated, he was beyond shocked.
"How is that possible? Grand Eunuch Zhuo Qing and the Imperial Preceptor Qi Tian Chen, they couldn't even withstand him for a single move?"
Tai An Di, utterly defeated, slumped in his dragon throne, wondering who in the world could possibly resist Jun Yu?
This was just the senior disciple of Jixia Academy.
Li Chang Sheng hadn't even appeared yet.
He had only wanted to test Li Chang Sheng to see if he had any rebellious intentions.
If he had simply come to bow his head, everything would have been fine.
But now, the situation was completely out of control.
Tai An Di didn't know how to salvage the situation.
Could he just let Jun Yu leave?
"Your Majesty, we can't just let Jun Yu leave!"
Zhuo Qing's disciples, Jin Xuan and the others, hurriedly suggested.
If Jun Yu left, how would the royal family maintain face?
At least, we have tens of thousands of Imperial Guards.
With the advantage of numbers, can't we stop Jun Yu?
We don't believe he's truly invincible!
Tai An Di heard their suggestion and chuckled.
They're sword immortals from heaven. How could a bunch of mortal soldiers possibly resist them?
Although he knew it was a futile effort, Tai An Di was trapped.
He had no choice but to do it, even though he knew it was impossible.
"Issue an order, capture Jun Yu. Kill him without mercy!"
