Chapter 13079: 3 of the Three Geniuses of the Imperial Palace

"Why? Does the Imperial Palace also want to follow in their footsteps and become the next power to destroy itself due to greed? Although I, Ling Xiao, am not a very kind and righteous person, I don't want to see such a beautiful place disappear because of a moment of greed."

When the people in the Imperial Palace heard this, their expressions varied. Some were angry, some were surprised, and some were shocked by Ling Xiao's fearless aura, and they were secretly calculating in their hearts.

One of them couldn't hold back his anger and shouted, "How dare you threaten my Imperial Palace like this! My Imperial Palace has stood in the East China Sea for thousands of years and has a profound foundation. How can it be compared to the seven major families? You are threatening the wrong person!"

As for Emperor Huangzhu, her eyes were still fixed on Ling Xiao. Her eyes seemed to be able to penetrate all illusions and look directly into the depths of Ling Xiao's soul. She felt mixed emotions, admiration for Ling Xiao's courage, as well as curiosity and fear about the treasure in his hand.

She knew very well that the young man in front of her was no ordinary person, and what he said was not groundless. At this moment, she seemed to be in a silent contest, trying to capture Ling Xiao's true thoughts and intentions from every subtle expression.

Ling Xiao's smile remained calm, as if he was talking about something very ordinary. He shook his head gently, his eyes revealing a calmness and confidence that went beyond his age.

"Don't say that the Imperial Palace is no longer as glorious as it once was. Even in its heyday, that so-called strength is nothing but a passing cloud in my eyes. Since I dare to come here, I have nothing to fear. Even if it is a threat, it is a sincere reminder. After all, I have killed people from the Female Emperor's Palace, but they could not do anything to me. In comparison, how much stronger is your Imperial Palace than the Female Emperor's Palace I am facing?"

Ling Xiao's words revealed a hint of provocation and disdain, as if to tell everyone that he was not bluffing, but had enough strength and confidence to back up his words and actions. This calm attitude made everyone present secretly awed, and they began to re-examine this seemingly young man.

The corners of Di Huangzhu's mouth slightly lifted up, forming a slightly cold smile. Her eyes flashed with a subtle admiration and curiosity. Obviously, Ling Xiao's frankness and confidence surprised her, and at the same time, it also aroused her desire to explore his background.

"Oh? Since you are so confident, I would like to see with my own eyes what you rely on." Her voice was calm and powerful, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, with a majesty that could not be ignored.

Just then, there was a commotion in the crowd, and a young man stood out from the crowd. His steps were firm and powerful, and he exuded vitality all over his body.

Although this young man was young, his cultivation had already reached the astonishing Tongtian realm, and he was recognized as one of the three great geniuses in the Imperial Palace. His eyes were flashing with excitement and fighting spirit, as if he had already regarded Ling Xiao as his prey.

"Palace Master, why do you need to do it yourself? I am willing to share your worries and capture this ignorant little bastard!" His words were full of confidence and determination, and it was obvious that he had a very high opinion of his own strength.

“My name is Di Pan, one of the three top geniuses in the Imperial Palace. I’ve come here to ask for your advice!” Di Pan’s voice resounded through the hall like thunder. Every word contained a power that should not be underestimated, as if he was announcing his identity and determination to the world.

As he finished speaking, a majestic and powerful aura suddenly burst out from his body, sweeping towards Ling Xiao like a violent storm. This aura was so strong that it caused the surrounding space to tremble, as if it could not withstand its pressure and was about to explode. The air was filled with a terrifying atmosphere that made people's hearts tremble.

Facing this sudden and powerful attack, Ling Xiao's face remained cold and indifferent, as if all this was within his expectations.

His eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze was like a torch, looking directly at Emperor Pan through the layers of air waves, without the slightest fear or retreat in his eyes. He knew that the Emperor Pan in front of him was indeed a leader among the younger generation, and he had reached the sixth level of Tongtian Realm at the age of only twenty-something. This talent and strength were enough to attract the attention of countless people.

Di Pan, the shining star in the imperial palace, was so brilliant that countless people looked up to him. However, fate seemed to always like to play some jokes on him, and at this shining moment, he met Ling Xiao, a seemingly ordinary but actually unfathomable opponent.

Ling Xiao stood there, his figure was tall and straight, his eyes were deep, as if he could see through everything in the world. Although his realm at the moment was still at the Divine Power Realm, the powerful aura emanating from inside and outside could not be ignored. His actual combat power had long surpassed the constraints of his realm and reached an incredible height.

Before this, Ling Xiao’s realm had already reached the seventh level of Wuhun Realm, and he could easily crush the seventh level warriors of Tongtian Realm.

It is even less of a problem now, not to mention that the other party is only at the sixth level of Tongtian Realm.

Ling Xiao raised his hand gently, his movements were graceful and calm, as if he was just brushing away a piece of dust. However, with this wave of his hand, the aura that was originally surging and almost tore the space apart disappeared without a trace in an instant, as if it had never existed.

This scene shocked everyone present. Even Emperor Huangzhu couldn't help but look solemn, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes.

Di Pan's eyes widened in disbelief. He couldn't believe that his strength, which he was so proud of, was so vulnerable in front of Ling Xiao. The feeling of defeat and unwillingness surged into his heart like a tide, making him lose consciousness for a moment.

Ling Xiao, on the other hand, still maintained his indifference and composure, as if everything that had just happened was just a trivial matter.

Everyone was shocked, and the emotions surging in their hearts were beyond words. They stared with eyes wide open, full of disbelief and deep shock.

Ling Xiao, this seemingly young man, actually used only the Divine Power Realm, the sixth realm in the early stages of martial arts practice, to easily resolve the fierce attack from Chang Pan, who came from the sixteenth realm of martial arts, the Tongtian Realm. This kind of suppression across a large realm was simply as incredible as a dream, and it was unbelievable what was happening before one's eyes.

Chang Pan, as a leader in the Imperial Palace and a leader among the younger generation, has always been praised for his cultivation and strength. However, in front of this young man named Ling Xiao, he seemed so powerless, like an ant facing a dragon. The mixed emotions of despair and unwillingness spread in his heart.

Ling Xiao stood there, his figure erect, like an insurmountable mountain, his eyes cold and contemptuous, scanning everyone present. (End of this chapter)
