Chapter 1489: Eternal Night Glacier
Before participating in the ranking battle, Ji Tianxing spent three days preparing.
He found out that Emperor Izumo was a man eager for quick success, hypocritical and ecstatic.
He also knew that the status of Haotian Tower was sacred and majestic, unattainable.
Even Emperor Izumo would not be able to go to Haotian Tower to investigate the truth.
That's why he dared to make up a story about amnesia.
He used this story to imply that Emperor Izumo had some connection with Haotian Tower.
If Emperor Izumo wanted to kill him, he had to carefully weigh the consequences.
Moreover, he went to Haotian Tower as the number one genius of the Izumo Empire. For Emperor Izumo and the Izumo Empire, there are only advantages and no disadvantages!
Emperor Izumo was very scheming, how could he not understand the stakes?
Facts also proved that Ji Tianxing's bet was right!
The situation was just as he expected, after Emperor Izumo interviewed him in person, he never summoned him again.
Of course, the spies and strong men secretly lurking around the house never left, and kept watching him secretly.
Two days passed in a flash.
Inside Tianyun City, it was still bustling and noisy, full of people's voices.
The people in the city were still discussing the previous ranking battle, immersed in shock and amazement.
In the streets and alleys, there are groups of people everywhere, discussing and speculating about Ji Tianxing's origin.
The name Ji Tianxing became known to all women and children, and became the center of all topics.
Moreover, there was a gossip that came from nowhere, blowing through the entire imperial city like a gust of wind.
In the streets and alleys of the city, in various houses, restaurants and teahouses, as long as there are warriors and common people gathering, the same dialogue is being staged.
"It is said that on the night when the ranking battle ended, the Holy Emperor sent the captain of the guards to announce the decree and summoned Ji Tian to the palace to have an audience.
But Ji Tianxing, the captain of the guards, shut the door and didn't show up at all!
Not only that, he also arrogantly refused, unwilling to see the Holy Emperor! "
When countless people heard this, they all showed shocked expressions, and their eyeballs almost fell to the ground.
No one could believe that Ji Tianxing, the genius on the first day, was so arrogant that he even dared to defy the will of the Holy Emperor!
"Isn't this too arrogant? It's just mindless!"
"Could it be that he is not afraid of being hacked to death by the palace guards for provoking the majesty of the Holy Emperor so much?"
"Even if he is the first genius and is about to become a disciple of Haotian Tower, he is not qualified to put on airs to the Holy Emperor!"
"It's unbelievable! Is this news true? It can't be made up?"
"Ji Tianxing must have been sentenced to death, Ling Chi, right?"
But this is only the first half of the gossip, and the second half of the news is even more appalling, shocking the audience.
"Hey... You may not believe me, but not only was Ji Tianxing not executed, he is still alive and well!
That night, the Holy Emperor quietly rushed to Ji Tianxing's residence with his holy master.
The Holy Emperor actually went out of the palace to meet him in person!
Although no one knows what the Holy Emperor talked to him, but according to the palace guards, the Holy Emperor seems to be in a good mood..."
When everyone heard the news, the audience was silent, and everyone was stunned and completely dumbfounded.
After everyone came back to their senses, they widened their eyes and let out exclamations, as if they had seen a ghost.
"Oh my god! This is not true, is it? You, you... Are you sure you're not joking?"
"Arranging the Holy Emperor indiscriminately will be executed!"
"It's unbelievable! Ji Tianxing offended the majesty of the Holy Emperor. Not only did the Holy Emperor not blame him, but he went to see him in person?"
"Damn Ji Tianxing, you are so arrogant and rude!"
"Fortunately, the Holy Emperor was wise, virtuous and magnanimous, so he forgave Ji Tianxing's crimes, otherwise he should have been executed long ago!"
"That's right! The Holy Emperor has a big heart and is thirsty for talents, so he will treat Ji Tianxing like this!"
"We are extremely lucky to be protected by the Holy Emperor!"
"With the Holy Emperor in charge of the empire, why should our Izumo Empire not prosper?"
"One day, this country will become the First Empire!"
Countless warriors and common people, after regaining their senses, all sang praises to Emperor Izumo, worshiping and supporting him extremely.
As for Ji Tianxing, everyone felt that he was even more mysterious and extraordinary, and felt a deep awe of him in their hearts.
There has not been a young genius worthy of such treatment by Emperor Izumo in three hundred years. How can it not be feared and envied?
Two days later, the news spread out of the imperial city, and quickly spread to the main cities.
Most people reacted the same way when they heard the news.
Invisibly, Emperor Izumo's reputation is even more lofty, and he is also more supported and praised by the people.
Ji Tianxing is also more legendary, becoming the most mysterious martial arts genius in the past three hundred years.
...
In the east of the Izumo Empire, there is a glacier area that stretches for millions of miles.
Under the light blue glacier, there are endless towering mountains, with many strange peaks and dense gullies.
The terrain and environment here are very special, and it is called Yongye Glacier.
The sun has not been seen here for many years, and the sky is always covered by thick haze and thick clouds.
In the glacier area with a radius of a million miles, the light is dim and the cold wind howls, as if sleeping in the night forever.
Yongye Glacier, hence the name.
This place is not only a dangerous and terrifying forbidden place, but also the private territory of the Lan family.
Those without permission are not allowed to step half a step into the Yongye Glacier, otherwise they will surely die!
In the depths of the Yongye Glacier, on a huge ice peak as high as ten thousand feet, stands a castle with a radius of ten miles.
The castle built entirely of ice looks crystal clear, shining with light blue cold light, quite dreamy, like a small kingdom in the world of ice and snow.
At this time, in a secret room deep in the castle.
A tall figure in a black robe is sitting on a light blue and white throne.
The light in the secret room was dim, and the temperature was extremely low.
The figure was covered by a black robe, covering its body, hands, feet and cheeks, so it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman, nor could it tell its age and appearance.
This person has no breath at all, and seems to be one with thousands of miles of ice, without the slightest sound or temperature, which is extraordinarily strange.
Suddenly, the door of the secret room opened.
A middle-aged man in a blue robe walked quickly into the secret room, knelt down on one knee in front of the figure in the black robe, and bowed his head respectfully.
"My lord, there is new news from the imperial city."
In the black robe, a voice was cold and dead, without any emotion.
"explain."
The voice was indistinguishable between male and female, like two pieces of ice rubbing together, it was sharp and piercing.
The blue-robed man lowered his head respectfully, and reported in a solemn tone: "On the night when the ranking battle ended, the Sage Emperor summoned Ji Tianxing, but Ji Tianxing closed the door and refused the Sage Emperor's summons.
Afterwards, the Holy Emperor personally brought the holy master to Ji Tianxing's residence to meet him, and I don't know what they talked about..."
