Before participating in the ranking battle, Ji Tianxing spent three days preparing.
He investigated and found out that Emperor Izumo was a man who was eager for quick success, hypocritical and very happy with his success.
He also knew that the status of Haotian Tower was sacred and majestic and 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 hint to Emperor Izumo that he had some connection with Haotian Tower.
If Emperor Izumo wants to kill him, he must carefully consider 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 were only advantages and no disadvantages!
Emperor Izumo is so scheming, how could he not understand the stakes involved?
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 who were secretly lurking around the house never left, and were always secretly monitoring him.
Two days flew by.
In Tianyun City, it was still bustling and bustling with people.
The people all over the city were still discussing the previous ranking battle, immersed in shock and amazement.
The streets and alleys were full of people in groups, discussing and speculating about Ji Tianxing's origins.
The name Ji Tianxing became known to everyone, both women and children, and became the center of all topics.
Moreover, there was a piece of gossip that spread out from nowhere, blowing through the entire imperial city like a strong wind.
In the streets and alleys of the city, in various houses, wine shops and teahouses, wherever warriors and common people gather, the same dialogue is taking place.
"It is said that on the night after the ranking battle ended, the Holy Emperor sent the captain of the bodyguard to declare an edict and summon Ji Tian to the palace for an audience.
But Ji Tianxing was rejected by the guard captain and didn't show up at all!
Not only that, he refused with an arrogant attitude, unwilling to meet the Holy Emperor!"
When countless people heard this, they looked so shocked that their eyes almost dropped to the ground.
No one could believe that the first genius, Ji Tianxing, was so arrogant that he even dared to disobey the Holy Emperor's will!
"Isn't this too arrogant? It's just mindless!"
"Is it possible that he is not afraid of being hacked to death by the palace guards because he provokes the majesty of the Holy Emperor?"
"Even if he is the number one genius and is about to become a divine disciple of Haotian Tower, he is not qualified to show off to the Holy Emperor!"
"It's incredible! Is this news true? It's not made up, right?"
"Ji Tianxing must have been sentenced to death. Was Ling Chi executed?"
But this was only the first half of the gossip. The second half of the news was even more shocking and shocked the whole audience.
"Hehe... you may not believe it, but not only was Ji Tianxing not executed, he is still alive and well!
That night, the Holy Emperor unexpectedly took the Holy Master and quietly rushed to Ji Tianxing's residence.
The Holy Emperor actually went out of the palace to see him in person!
Although no one knows what the Holy Emperor talked about with him, according to the palace guards, the Holy Emperor seems to be in a good mood..."
When everyone heard the news, the whole place was silent. Everyone was stunned and completely dumbfounded.
After everyone came to their senses, they opened their eyes wide and exclaimed, as if they had seen a ghost.
"Oh my God! This isn't true, is it? You, you, you...are you sure you're not joking?"
"Any random arrangement of the Holy Emperor will result in death!"
"It's incredible! Ji Tianxing offended the majesty of the Holy Emperor, and the Holy Emperor not only didn't blame him, but also 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 crime, otherwise he should have been executed long ago!"
"That's right! The Holy Emperor has a broad mind and is thirsty for talents, so he will treat the corporal with talents and treat Ji Tianxing like this!"
"We are extremely lucky to have the protection of the Holy Emperor!"
"With the Holy Emperor in charge of the empire, why worry about our Izumo Empire not being able to prosper?"
"One day, our country will surely become the first empire!"
Countless warriors and common people, after coming back to their senses, praised Emperor Izumo and worshiped and supported him extremely.
As for Ji Tianxing, everyone also felt that he was more mysterious and extraordinary, and they felt a deep respect for him in their hearts.
There has never been a young genius worthy of being treated like this by Emperor Izumo in three hundred years. How can he not be feared and envied?
Two days later, the news spread out of the Imperial City and quickly spread to all major cities.
When most people heard the news, they had the same reaction.
Invisibly, Emperor Izumo's reputation became more noble, and he was more supported and praised by the people.
Ji Tianxing also became more legendary and became the most mysterious martial arts genius in three hundred years.
…
In the eastern part of the Izumo Empire, there is a glacier zone that stretches for millions of miles.
Under the light blue glaciers are endless majestic mountains with numerous peaks and ravines.
The terrain and environment here are very special and are called Yongye Glacier.
There is no sunshine here for many months, and the sky is always covered by thick haze and thick clouds.
The glacier area with a radius of millions of miles is dimly lit and the cold wind howls, as if it has been sleeping in darkness forever.
Yongye Glacier, hence its name.
This place is not only a dangerous and terrifying forbidden area, but also the private territory of the Lan family.
People without permission are not allowed to step into the Yongye Glacier, otherwise they will surely die!
Deep in the Yongye Glacier, on a huge ice peak with a height of ten thousand feet, stands a castle with a radius of ten miles.
The castle, which is completely built of ice, looks crystal clear, shining with light blue cold light, and is 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 black robes was sitting on a light blue and blazing white throne.
The light in the secret room was dim and the temperature was extremely low.
The figure was shrouded in a black robe, covering its body, hands, feet and cheeks. It was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman, nor its age or appearance.
This person has no breath at all, and seems to be integrated with the thousands of miles of ice. There is no sound or temperature, which is particularly weird.
Suddenly, the door to the secret room opened.
A middle-aged man in blue robe quickly walked into the secret room, knelt on one knee in front of the figure in black robe, and kowtowed respectfully.
"Your Majesty, there is new news coming from the Imperial City."
In the black robe, a cold, dead voice sounded without any emotion.
"explain."
The sound was indistinguishable from male to female, like two pieces of ice rubbing against each other, a bit sharp and harsh.
The man in blue robe lowered his head respectfully and reported in a solemn tone: "On the night after the ranking battle, the Holy Emperor sent an order to summon Ji Tianxing, but Ji Tianxing stayed behind closed doors and refused the Holy Emperor's summons.
Afterwards, the Holy Emperor personally took the Holy Master to Ji Tianxing's residence and met with him. I don't know what they talked about..."
