Chapter 104: A Super Fierce Slap

  What the old man in black said was something that Qin Liwen had never heard of, and it sounded truly shocking. He didn't expect there to be so many powerful beings. It seems that this world is really fundamentally different from Earth!

  It was also at this moment that Qin Li finally completely reversed his mentality as a traverser and truly integrated into this world.

  I was originally at the bottom of this world, I am not reconciled! I absolutely do not reconcile that this life is only partial to a corner, being a rich man. I also want to openly and uprightly set foot on the mysterious island, in front of that old virgin who has been there for thousands of years, take away my wife!

  No one can stop me from doing these!

  The old man in black said with a mocking face: "Of course, there is. But that's no longer something you can touch, and it's useless to tell you! How small do you feel now? Although I admit that you are one of the few geniuses I have seen, but it's not that I look down on you, your greatest achievement in this life is to break through the heavenly level and reach the broken sky realm, but you are still at the bottom of this world! Do you know why?"

  The old man in black said with a pleased expression: "What kind of people do you think those ancient aristocratic families and sects hidden in the secret lands are? They control the entire country, mobilizing the power of the whole nation to serve one family or sect! Some even mobilize the power of several countries to serve them! Without overwhelming power, you will never get those extraordinary geniuses and treasures! You will never know what a spiritual stone is! You will never have the chance! Do you think that not putting the crown prince in your eyes makes you a hero? What a huge joke!"

  The old man in black said so much in one breath. His chest was violently heaving, and his single eye also shot out a crazy light.

  "Haha, you should know that even if you destroy the Qinglong Kingdom's imperial family and wipe out the Zhao clan, you still can't become the Emperor of Qinglong Kingdom! There are countless forces that can tear you apart in an instant! Because, you're just a small, rootless wild seedling, haha!"

  After hearing the old man in black, Qin Li also smiled: "Old guy, at this time, choosing to infuriate me is really not a wise move. Really, if it were me, I would definitely wait quietly for death, and maybe I would give you a quick and easy one. So, you shouldn't have infuriated me!"

  "Enrage you? I'm telling the truth! You actually think I'm intentionally enraging you?! If you really want to climb to the pinnacle of this world, then become a powerful ruler like the Emperor of New Qin first, how about it, dare you?! Haha!"

  The old man in black laughed very comfortably. He had already seen his ambition in Qin Li's eyes, and he knew that even if he didn't give him any seeds to plant, this devil-like young man would never be content with being ordinary. He could even foresee a future where Qin Li would be executed for rebellion. The more he thought about it, the happier he felt. That scene had already formed a complete picture in his mind.

  "Alright, since you've said so much, I'll give you a pleasant surprise!" Qin Li said very generously.

  The old man in black had a joyful expression on his face, and at the same time, a surge of heroic sorrow welled up in his heart, thinking: "I've been a hero all my life, finally... I'm free!"

  "However," Qin Li winked. He continued, "I'll give you a quick death, but I still have to hang you on the flagpole! I want Zhao Xinghe to see what happens when you offend me! But don't worry, I won't strip you naked and hang you up, I'm already being very merciful, what do you think?"

  "Qin Li! You son of a bitch! Little beast! Little savage!..."

  Hmph!

  Qin Li snapped his fingers, and a sharp gust of air shot into the old man's throat. The stream of curses stopped abruptly. The old man's one eye widened in surprise, with seven parts relief and three parts resentment in his gaze. Perhaps, he had long regretted it. He shouldn't have been tempted by the priceless Thousand-Year Revival Grass given by the Crown Prince, and personally taken action to kill this demon boy.

  But all of this has been frozen in the moment of his death.

  The next morning, a shocking event spread like wildfire throughout the streets of Qinglong City, from the noble families to the commoners, almost everyone was talking about it.

  Almost everyone who talks about this matter has a look of surprise, anger, excitement, fear, sorrow, joy, indifference... all kinds of expressions!

  Crown Prince's mentor, senior imperial guard of the Qinglong Kingdom, deputy commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard, third-tier Tian-class, ninth-level Yuan-force superpower, Murong Tian. Was actually hung on the giant flagpole at the south gate of the Qinglong Kingdom, with a base as thick as two people hugging each other and over a hundred meters high!

  And on the flagpole, a white cloth three meters wide and over thirty meters long was hanging down, with blood-stained large characters: Zhao Xinghe. This is a model! Next time, it will be you!

  Crazy!

  Almost everyone went crazy, and the vast majority of people's faces were filled with excited expressions of schadenfreude. This wasn't because Prince Zhao Xinghe had a bad reputation in Qinglong City, but rather that people felt an overwhelming sense of thrill towards this mysterious person who dared to be so nakedly and directly challenging the imperial power.

  Qinglong Country. It's been many years since such a big thing happened, and this matter is not to say that it has pierced a huge hole in the sky of Qinglong Country, but it's almost there.

  The prince's teacher, that is the future emperor's mentor! A high-ranking imperial retainer, with the identity of a grand duke! Although it was just a title and didn't have any actual fiefdoms, this identity was already prestigious enough!

  Looking at the entire country, there are definitely no more than twenty martial artists who can surpass Murong Tian's status!

  And a Heaven Stage Three Layer, Ninefold Primary Force like his, is enough to intimidate countless people. With just him alone, he can sweep through many medium and small-sized families with thousands of people!

  Now, he was beheaded and had his legs cut off, one eye blinded. Then brutally murdered, but that's not all, he was even hung on the highest flagpole in Qinglong City! And left a message, directly targeting the future king of Qinglong Country, the current Crown Prince Zhao Xinghe!

  What kind of momentum is this? What a powerful deterrent!

  It's too addictive! It's absolutely too addictive!

  At this moment, how many people have wildly cheered in their hearts and shouted with excitement!

  Nor did they know how many imperial capitals' wealthy families. Their expressions were dejected, their hearts shocked, and their faces changed greatly! These native-born princes felt that the sky above their heads was suddenly covered with a layer of dark clouds!

  Ordinary people see the surface, but these people saw the essence behind the event!

  That spearhead is extremely sharp and directly points at the crown prince!

  What kind of power did the person who killed Murong Tian possess? And what severe consequences would this bring about? The Emperor's thunderous rage, could the Crown Prince withstand it? If he couldn't, if the Crown Prince were to be deposed, where would they go from there?

  This is what they really worry about!

  Tian-class warriors can rely on a mouthful of yuan force to fly through the air for a very long distance, but they cannot fly as high as an eagle. However, the giant flagpole standing upright on the south gate tower of Qinglong City, the imperial capital, is over 100 meters tall! The city wall itself is also over 100 meters tall! Moreover, there are guards stationed day and night to protect it!

  Because this giant flagpole was erected by the Taizu Emperor Zhao Longteng of the Qinglong Kingdom himself, using a black iron wood from the south that exceeded 100,000 years!

  At that time, I didn't know how much energy it took to transport this giant tree from the south. At that time, Taizu Zhao Longteng was said to have already broken through the heavenly level and reached the realm of breaking the sky. With his own strength, he erected this flagpole, and then passed on the throne to the crown prince Xiaopiang and left. From then on, no one knew where he went.

  So this flagpole has great significance for the imperial Zhao family and even for the entire Qinglong Kingdom!

  Only on the most solemn festivals, would they hang the giant green dragon flag of Qinglong Country up there, each time requiring two Heaven-level warriors to slowly climb up and hang the flag. At a height of 200 meters above ground, the wind in the sky was already very strong. If one wasn't careful, they would be blown away by the wind, although Heaven-level warriors wouldn't fall to their deaths. However, embarrassment was unavoidable.

  Now someone has actually hung a dead person up there! How high is this strength? Moreover, this is simply a ruthless slap in the face to the Qinglong Imperial Family!

  That white cloth was soon traced to its origin, and the shopkeeper who had been angrily telling everyone about their theft the night before turned pale when they found out what their fabric had been used for. They could only regret that they had spoken too much, fearing that if the imperial family were to blame them for this, destroying their entire clan would be too light a punishment.

  This matter is a great insult to the Qinglong Imperial Family and to Taizu Emperor Zhao Longteng!

  Soon, the entire family of the shop owner was taken away, and the soldiers patrolling on the South Gate City Tower that night also mysteriously disappeared.

  This matter has become a hot topic of conversation on the streets and alleys of Qinglong City, at least for the next few months, there is no sign of decline.

  But in places where ordinary people can never see, those undercurrents form massive whirlpools that will engulf many wealthy and powerful families. Perhaps only the one sitting on the dragon throne knows best.

  But Qin Li, the mastermind behind this matter, never thought that his actions would have such earth-shattering consequences, just like a butterfly flapping its wings thousands of miles away and triggering a massive storm on this side. His actions not only left Zhao Xinghe bewildered, but also slapped the royal family of Qinglong Kingdom in the face!

  The far-reaching impact it brings will even directly affect the future direction of the Qinglong Kingdom's throne!

  Qin Li would definitely laugh like a little thief if he knew, extremely happy.

  At this moment, Qin Li completely changed into a new face. He became a seventeen or eighteen-year-old handsome young master, holding a folding fan and wearing luxurious clothes. He walked with a swagger on the extremely prosperous main street of Qinglong City, admiring and flirting with the beautiful girls passing by.

  With a look like that, if there were several lackeys following behind him, he would be the spitting image of a young master from a wealthy family, a prodigal son.
