Izumo Saint Master obviously came with bad intentions, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes.
Seeing his attitude, Ji Tianxing guessed that he already knew what happened on Fengshen Mountain.
"What the Holy Master said is really puzzling. I act with no regrets. Why don't I dare to come back?"
"Haha..." The Saint Master grinned with a smile, and a cold light flashed in his deep eyes.
"What a clear conscience. I hope you won't regret it in the future."
Ji Tianxing was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he simply turned his head and ignored him.
The Holy Master said no more and quietly waited for the arrival of Holy Emperor Izumo.
Although, he really wanted to kill Ji Tianxing and get rid of this guy who didn't care about life and death and betrayed the Izumo Empire.
But he couldn't make his own decisions, lest he ruin Emperor Izumo's plans.
As time goes by, the setting sun drops towards the horizon little by little, and the last dim afterglow will disappear.
Many warriors and people gradually gathered on the street outside the palace gate.
Everyone gathered together in twos and threes, looking at Ji Tianxing from a distance, pointing and talking.
At the beginning, he won three consecutive matches in the ranking battle and won the first place, which left a deep impression on the people in the city.
Several months have passed, and the people in the imperial city still often discuss him.
Not long after, a loud and loud shout came from the palace.
"The Holy Emperor is here!"
As the captain of the imperial guard shouted loudly, a tall and burly figure stepped out of the palace gate.
The leader was a middle-aged man with a majestic face, wearing a dark golden robe with patterns of the sun, moon, stars and dragons embroidered on it.
He is none other than the Holy Emperor Izumo.
The captain of the guard and four guards followed him respectfully.
The Holy Emperor of Izumo walked towards Ji Tianxing with long steps and looked at him with cold eyes.
When he got closer, he looked at Ji Tianxing and asked in a majestic tone: "Ji Tianxing, you are not practicing hard at Fengshen Mountain, why did you come back to Tianyun City?"
Ji Tianxing could feel that Emperor Izumo's attitude towards him was very indifferent, and there was even a hint of anger.
But he pretended not to know, smiled and said, "Holy Emperor, I am returning to Tianyun City to give you a big gift."
Emperor Izumo had just listened to the report from the captain of the Imperial Guard, so of course he knew Ji Tianxing's intention.
But in his eyes, Ji Tianxing was so poor that he couldn't give him any big gifts.
Of course, except for the divine sword.
"What kind of gift?" Emperor Izumo stared at him sharply to see what he wanted to do.
Ji Tianxing held the 'Heavenly Burial Sword' in both hands and said in a complicated tone: "Since I left the Izumo Empire, I have been attacked and besieged by mysterious and powerful people one after another.
I don’t know why, but those people want to snatch this sword from me.
I guessed that maybe there was something extraordinary about this sword that attracted strong men from all walks of life to snatch it.
And I just want to practice in peace, I don't want to get into trouble, and I am unable to withstand the attacks of many powerful people.
As the saying goes, a common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade. The cause of the disaster is this sword.
Therefore, I decided to dedicate this sword to the Holy Emperor. Only a strong man and emperor like you are worthy of owning this sword."
After he said these words in a sincere tone, he presented the 'Sword of Burial Sky' to Emperor Izumo.
Emperor Izumo and the Holy Master were stunned for a moment, staring intently at the sword in his hand, with a thick light flashing in their eyes.
Both of them observed the sword carefully, and many thoughts came to their minds.
"Isn't this the Heaven-Burying Sword? The appearance, soul aura and power fluctuations are all the same, there is no difference at all. It is really the Heaven-Burying Sword!"
"This kid Ji Tianxing actually wants to give the Sky Burial Sword to me? What on earth does he want to do?
Could it be that he had seen through my emperor’s plan and was forced to offer the Sky Burial Sword to express his goodwill to me?”
"With this boy's strength and means, he is indeed unable to withstand the attacks of powerful men from all over the world, and there is no way he can keep the Sky Burial Sword.
He was smart enough, knowing that he could not keep the Heavenly Burial Sword, so he gave the sword to the Holy Emperor, so that he could stay out of the matter and please the Holy Emperor at the same time..."
Emperor Izumo remained silent and did not speak, his eyes looking at the Sky Burial Sword were full of greed.
He weighed and considered it before reaching out to take the Heavenly Burial Sword, nodding with a smile on his face and saying: "Well, Ji Tianxing, you are indeed very smart and knowledgeable enough.
As the saying goes, the treasures of heaven and earth must be inhabited by the virtuous.
With your ability, it is indeed impossible to protect this sword.
Since you are so sincere and insist on dedicating the sword to me, I will accept your wishes."
Emperor Izumo held the Sky Burial Sword, looked at it with gleaming eyes, stretched out his hand to rub the blade, and felt the power fluctuations in it.
The Holy Master's expression was a little complicated, and he secretly sent a message to persuade him: "Holy Emperor, although this kid knows his face, he took the initiative to offer the Sky Burial Sword to you.
But if he presents the treasure in a big way, this matter will definitely be exposed. If the news spreads, the powerful people from all over the world will definitely be disadvantageous to you!
I'm very worried, this is Ji Tianxing's conspiracy!"
Emperor Izumo remained calm on the surface and secretly sent a message to reply: "Don't worry, Holy Master, of course I have considered the consequences and guessed that this might be Ji Tianxing's conspiracy.
However, he had already delivered the Heavenly Burial Sword to the entrance of the palace and handed it into the hands of this emperor.
How could this emperor push away the Heavenly Burial Sword? If the powerful people in the world knew about it, wouldn't they laugh out loud and accuse me of being cowardly and incompetent?
So what if the powerful people from all over the world know about it? This emperor has millions of elite soldiers and an army of 100,000 imperial guards to guard the imperial city. Anyone who comes will die!"
The Holy Master was still a little worried, but he also understood that Emperor Izumo had made up his mind and could not change it.
Besides, who can resist the temptation of the Sky Burying Sword?
If you can get the secret of the Sky Burial Sword, the treasure of the Sword God and the inheritance of Shinto, so what if you become the public enemy of all countries?
At this time, Emperor Izumo was in a good mood and said with a smile: "Ji Tianxing is determined to offer treasures and has made great achievements. I will reward you with tens of millions of spiritual stones and hundreds of magical pills!"
As he spoke, he waved a golden light and sent it to Ji Tianxing.
There is a space ring wrapped in the golden light, which contains ten million spiritual stones and one hundred soul-level elixirs.
Ji Tianxing was not polite, reached out to take the space ring, and said with a smile: "Thank you Holy Emperor, the gift has been sent, then I will take my leave."
Emperor Izumo's thoughts were all on the Sky Burial Sword, and he just wanted to return to the palace as soon as possible to study the sword.
He was too lazy to talk nonsense to Ji Tianxing, so he waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."
Ji Tianxing bowed his hands and turned to leave.
After a while, his figure disappeared at the end of the street.
The smile on Emperor Izumo's face faded and he ordered to the Holy Master beside him: "Holy Master, send someone to keep an eye on him secretly."
The Holy Master sent a message and asked: "Holy Emperor, do you want to kill him?"
Emperor Izumo thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "Keep him alive for the time being, maybe I still have some use for him.
Let people monitor his movements at all times and wait for the emperor's orders."
"Understood." The Holy Master nodded, turned around, entered the palace, and issued the order.
