"You beast! You dare to lay a hand on my disciple? Are you tired of living?"
A strange voice, tinged with anger, rang out.
Suddenly, the figure of an old man in black appeared strangely in front of the young man in white, drawing shocked glances.
The only person who could so easily crush and neutralize Luo Guansheng's murderous attack in his rage was either a peak Heavenly Realm expert or a Star Realm expert!
As expected, a powerful figure followed behind the young man in white!
No wonder he was so fearless from beginning to end!
"May I ask who you are, senior...?"
At this moment, Qin Zheng, who had been silent all along, stood up immediately and bowed to the old man in black robes.
As a mid-stage Heavenly Gang Realm expert, how could Qin Zheng not sense that the black-robed elder's cultivation level far surpassed his own, and he was very likely a Star Realm expert?
Even experts at the Star Realm have stepped forward. If the ruler of Qin does not make a statement, things may very well turn for the worse.
"I am Gong Qi."
Gong Qi flicked his sleeve and snorted coldly, not even glancing at Qin Zheng.
Gong Qi!
When the name was uttered by the old man in black robes, Qin Zheng's entire body trembled involuntarily.
If he didn't know the name of Shengmen Gongqi, then he would have been a king of Qin for nothing.
"So it's Senior Gong Qi. It was I... my men were blind and offended you. Please forgive them."
Faced with Gong Qi, Qin Zheng had no choice but to swallow his pride as the ruler of a nation and apologize.
He knew very well how terrifying a Star Realm expert was.
If Gong Qi were to be enraged, he could single-handedly wipe out the entire Qin Kingdom, and the Holy Gate would not say a word.
All the members of the Holy Gate need to do is support the new emperor to ascend the throne and maintain stability in the region.
Therefore, Gong Qi must not be offended.
"You have offended me. What makes you say such a thing?" Gong Qi smiled, a smile that was very mysterious and carried a hint of murderous intent. This made Qin Zheng feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, with a chill creeping into his whole body and penetrating to his bones.
"I misspoke. Luo Guansheng shouldn't have offended your disciple. I apologize to you, young man."
Qin Zheng, as expected of a clever man who could adapt to circumstances, instantly understood the meaning behind Gong Qi's words, which greatly impacted most of the young people present.
Many of them may only have a limited perspective on a small country, where the monarch is the absolute overlord and usually the strongest person in the country.
However, at this moment, the emperor of Qin actually humbled himself and apologized to the white-robed youth.
This was something they would never have dared to imagine before.
This taught them a valuable lesson.
An emperor cannot rule the world with one hand; he may even have to be subordinate to others. There are many who have more power and strength than the emperor.
This intensified their longing for the temple.
"Zhang Yun's master is actually a powerhouse above the Heavenly Gang Realm..."
Zhang Tianlun, who had intended to use this opportunity to get rid of Zhang Yun and curry favor with Zhang Tiangu, turned pale.
In his eyes, Zhang Yun was just an ordinary genius whose reputation had been exaggerated.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yun actually had such a powerful backer.
Gong Qi is a Star Realm expert in the Holy Sect, and Zhang Yun is his disciple. Doesn't that mean that Zhang Yun, as a disciple of the Holy Sect, has gone further than his cousin Zhang Tiangu, whom he looks up to?
The stark contrast between before and after left Zhang Tianlun struggling to adapt.
Lin Ruoxue is another example that is not applicable.
In just a few months, Zhang Yun has grown to this extent?
"You just said that all of this was a misunderstanding?" Gong Qi sneered, "He even harbored murderous intent towards my disciple, and you still say it's a misunderstanding?"
"Senior, this is indeed a misunderstanding."
Qin Zheng said with great certainty. Immediately, a golden light emanated from his body. He leaped into the air and silently struck Luo Guansheng on the back with a palm. The golden holy light seemed to possess a strange corrosive power, directly melting Luo Guansheng's body.
Qin Zheng's arm passed right through Luo Guansheng's back without any resistance. When his hand withdrew, a stench of blood filled the air, causing the crowd to widen their eyes in shock. They felt a chill run down their spines as they stared in horror at the scene before them.
Qin Zheng's actions were too decisive and ruthless!
"Your Majesty...you..." Luo Guansheng's eyes widened as he slowly turned to look at Qin Zheng, his gaze fixed on that moment filled with disbelief, before the body slowly collapsed.
"Guan Sheng, I know that you have been loyal to me for many years, but don't blame me. I did all this for the sake of our Qin state."
Qin Zheng sighed inwardly, his eyes filled with sorrow and reluctance.
But under these circumstances, he had no choice but to kill Luo Guansheng, otherwise there would be endless trouble!
If it were any other Star Realm expert, he might not have acted so decisively.
But the person standing there was Gong Qi.
It's not that Gong Qi is the strongest in the Star Realm.
