The Most Powerful Overlord

Chapter 173: Wangyue Pavilion Scandal

The fat man on the other side looked at them eagerly and couldn’t help saying, "I want to go see too, I wonder what they’re talking about."

Zhang Chenyi shook his head, "Don’t go. My father specifically told me to stay at school these days and not go out. Otherwise, there could be danger!"

"Ah? That’s how it is."

The fat man nodded.

"This kind of circle is not something we can fit into, let’s forget about it."

Lu Lianlong said.

On this day, a large number of martial artists and even spirit masters gathered in Jin City, all just to witness this pinnacle battle.

In the evening, inside a villa.

Hua Qingfei and Qin Lingtian were both there.

Moreover, several people from Wangyue Pavilion including Gou Jianzhuo were present, discussing the pinnacle battle in Jin City.

"Boom!"

But suddenly, a huge commotion came from outside the villa, as if a meteor from the sky had fallen, causing the ground to shake and making everyone dizzy.

"What’s going on?"

Gou Jianzhuo and the others immediately rushed out of the villa, and the scene before them left everyone stunned.

Not far away stood a monk in white, but he stood like a mountain in front, bringing immense pressure that almost suffocated people.

A black stream of air seemed to flow around the monk in white, Zhou Sheng, with unparalleled evil power filling the entire space.

"Ah? It’s Evil Buddha!"

The people of Wangyue Pavilion were greatly shocked.

"Why has he come here?"

Someone asked in confusion.

"Qin Lingtian should be here, right? I heard a disciple of his died at his hands? Is that true?"

Evil Buddha spoke, his gaze finally locking onto Qin Lingtian.

His gaze was piercing as if he could naturally detect Qin Lingtian’s anomaly.

"You killed my disciple? But it doesn’t look like it!"

Evil Buddha showed a hint of doubt.

Then, he changed his tune: "But I’ll still kill you!"

"No! Qin Lingtian is the son of the Qin Family and a member of Wangyue Pavilion. Besides, he is the adopted son of Ye Kuangfeng of the Tianjing Ye Family! You cannot kill him!"

Gou Jianzhuo said urgently.

Evil Buddha laughed coldly, "What? Are you trying to pressure me with Wangyue Pavilion and the Ye Family? Do you think I’m afraid? If I were afraid, I wouldn’t have fought against the Northern Army back then!"

"This..."

Evil Buddha’s words left the people of Wangyue Pavilion speechless.

Qin Lingtian was in danger!

"Boom!"

Evil Buddha transformed into a stream of black energy, suddenly sweeping through the scene, and in the next moment, appeared in front of Qin Lingtian.

A swept surge of murderous intent rushed directly at Qin Lingtian.

At this moment, Qin Lingtian felt a dead silence permeating through, his whole being as if plunged into an icy abyss, consciousness scattered, body out of control.

Cold sweat broke out on Qin Lingtian, quickly soaking his clothes.

"I didn’t kill him, it was Ye Xiaoyao!"

Qin Lingtian couldn’t withstand the pressure, his mental defenses collapsing instantly, and he knelt before Evil Buddha.

"What? It wasn’t you who killed him?"

Hua Qingfei asked in disbelief.

Qin Lingtian briefly recounted the events of that night: "...If I’m not mistaken, it was Ye Xiaoyao who did it!"

"You... you disappoint me greatly."

Hua Qingfei’s face changed drastically, and her gaze towards Qin Lingtian was filled with disgust.

"Haha, this is truly ridiculous! Isn’t Wangyue Pavilion known as the enforcer of the Martial Arts Realm? People within your door actually playing such underhanded tricks? It’s simply laughable! Wangyue Pavilion is a joke! Hahaha..."

Evil Buddha did not kill Qin Lingtian but left laughing.

"You are the disgrace of Wangyue Pavilion!"

Xun Jianzhuo and others said angrily.

All along, Wangyue Pavilion had been spotless.

But now with an incident like Qin Lingtian’s, although not significant, to the reputation-conscious Wangyue Pavilion, it was a disgrace!

More importantly, this matter was known by Evil Buddha...

"You’ve lost all face for Wangyue Pavilion!"

Hua Qingfei also shouted in anger.

"I..."

Qin Lingtian knelt on the ground, unsure of how to explain.

Especially seeing the disappointed looks, Qin Lingtian felt his face burning and wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

Qin Lingtian had a very strong personality and cared greatly about his image.

This moment was a complete humiliation, made worse by being exposed in front of the woman he loved.

But facing the threat of death, he had no choice but to do so.

"Qin Lingtian, you are the disgrace of Wangyue Pavilion! You will no longer be part of Wangyue Pavilion!"

Gou Jianzhuo said angrily.

"Hmph!"

The people of Wangyue Pavilion and Hua Qingfei both left the villa.

"Thud!"

Qin Lingtian collapsed to the ground, utterly embarrassed.

He had let down too many people, especially his father and mother.

...

Such an incident before the battle, causing a ruckus.

Wangyue Pavilion lost its face, and so did the Qin Family.

"I never expected, the first young master of Jin City, Ye Kuangfeng’s adopted son, and a member of Wangyue Pavilion would resort to such tactics!

It’s truly disgraceful; amidst the gathering of heroes, such a scandal comes out, Qin Lingtian is completely done for.

...

Words like these were spread everywhere.

And Qin Lingtian simply vanished, never to be seen again.

The next day.

Around Longquan Mountain at the peak of Jin City, a large crowd gathered, comprised of either martial artists or wealthy elites.

Qin Yunlei and Kang Meiyi had also arrived around Longquan Mountain early.

"This is the Wen Family, the top family in Shuitian City, Long Province..."

"This is Hao Mingchang, the giant from Qing Province, along with his son..."

"This is from Xiaxi Province..."

Seeing the surrounding figures, Kang Meiyi was dumbfounded; all the representatives of any well-known family or group company in the Northwest had come.

Her astonished expression never stopped, her mouth remained open.

Qin Yunlei glanced and said, "Unfortunately, they don’t really matter here; those who truly count are the martial artists!"

"Ah! With the Kang Family’s strength, they should be considered top-notch, right?"

Kang Meiyi asked.

"No, only above average!"

"Wow! That man seems to be the Eighth Prince of the Northeast, rumored to be a top bodyguard descendant of a certain Aisin Gioro. A fifth-ranked strongman on the Dragon List, he is a half-step Martial Emperor. He and Evil Buddha once fought to a draw!"

Exclamations of surprise arose over there.

In the distance, a figure was seen striding forward, leaving a hundred-meter-long trail, the forest howled, and ten thousand beasts fled.

This middle-aged man was wearing a cyan robe, his hairstyle unique, with a queue braid typical of the Qing dynasty.

He was indeed the renowned strongman of the Northeast Martial Dao, the Eighth Prince.

"Look over there, that seems to be Mu Tiandao, formerly of the Yun Gui Mu Royal Mansion, known for his exquisite Life-taking Celestial Saber, Dragon List sixth, also a half-step Martial Emperor Realm!"

Accompanied by a sharp cry, a black eagle appeared in the sky, diving down.

"Look quickly, that’s..."

Everyone actually saw a person standing on the eagle’s back, hands behind his back, gazing indifferently at everyone, ignoring all, as if a celestial god had descended.

That was Mu Tiandao.

At this moment, the entire scene was astonished.

"That person is an unparalleled spirit master from Qing Province!"

"This one is the Fist God from Grassland Province, with late-stage Martial King cultivation!"

...

One powerhouse after another appeared.
