#1287 - Chapter 1287 Destruction

But an even more explosive piece of news than the various sects blocking Ye Kong from joining the secret investigation team's annual drama was that Ye Kong directly rejected the Heavenly Emperor's invitation!

The Heavenly Emperor looked embarrassed. This was unprecedented in thousands of years!

Even the usually amiable Heavenly Emperor was suddenly enraged, but with everyone on edge and rebellions breaking out everywhere, it wasn't the time to deal with Ye Kong.

The Heavenly Emperor cleared his throat. "Can I hear your reasons?"

Ye Kong replied directly, "Since everyone thinks I'm not qualified, then I simply won't participate!"

His words were like a bomb!

What!

If it were in the past, upon hearing someone say he wasn't qualified, Ye Kong might have flipped the Upper Realm upside down.

Why was he being so docile now?

"Since that's the case, then so be it!" The Heavenly Emperor looked at Elder Wang. "Then have your Tai Chu Institute select another disciple to join the secret investigation team."

The disciples of the Tai Chu Institute exchanged glances. No one expected this assignment to fall on their head.

"I'll go!"

Zhang Tie volunteered.

"You?" Lei Bao sneered. "A defeated opponent, what makes you think you're qualified?"

Zhang Tie clenched his fists. "If you have the guts, let's have another match! Who's afraid of who!"

"Come on, I'll give you a good lesson!" Lei Bao directly reached out to unleash the power of lightning.

"Enough! What are you making a fuss about? If you want to compete, find another place. Otherwise, I'll expel you both from the secret investigation team!"

The Regent Envoy interrupted the two.

No matter how chaotic it was, Ye Kong stood there as if none of it had anything to do with him.

"It's fine if you don't fight, but the Tai Chu Institute only has the name of being the number one sect in the world. It's really inappropriate to send such a thing for such an important mission!"

Zhang Tie, who was called 'such a thing,' was instantly enraged and rushed in front of Hu Yishao.

With a 'smack,' a loud slap landed heavily on Hu Yishao's face.

Hu Yishao looked up in astonishment, seeing Zhang Tie's hand raised high in front of him, not even having time to react.

On the other side, the culprit, Ye Kong, was rotating his wrist.

"Ye Kong, what are you doing? How dare you hit me!" Hu Yishao shouted angrily.

"It's nothing. Some words are unpleasant to hear, so I'm letting the speaker learn a lesson!"

Ye Kong said it casually, as if he had just stepped on an ant.

In fact, that was indeed the case. In front of Ye Kong, Hu Yishao was just an ant.

Obviously, Hu Yishao, as an ant, didn't have this awareness and had a brain that only remembered being beaten.

Seeing that Ye Kong was about to slap him a second time, Hu Yishao immediately covered his face and took a step back.

Hu Yishao could still endure it.

However, the disciples of Le Feng Mountain were unwilling. Hu Yishao, as their representative senior disciple, was being openly humiliated in the Upper Realm. They were completely disregarding Le Feng Mountain!

"Ye Kong, you're going too far. Senior Brother was just making a few remarks. Why did you have to resort to violence? Apologize to Senior Brother Hu Yishao right now!"

Hu Badian, a newly initiated disciple of Le Feng Mountain, said.

"Oh? Apologize?" Ye Kong heard something like a funny joke. "Clearly, your senior brother was the one who spoke rudely first. I haven't even asked him to apologize. How did the hat of apology end up on my head?"

Hahaha… Ye Kong couldn't help but laugh a few times, then looked up at the Heavenly Emperor sitting above, who hadn't moved an inch.

Then, he leaned down and spat out two words, "Ridiculous!"

After that, Ye Kong left the Floating Light Hall without looking back.

This conference ended hastily with Ye Kong's departure.

In the end, the Tai Chu Institute sent Wen Jie to participate in the secret investigation team.

This secret investigation team, composed of various sects, was about to enter the martial arts arena for the final decision.

After several competitions, Hu Yishao of Le Feng Mountain was finally chosen as the captain.

At this time, Ye Kong was leaning against the ancient thousand-year-old tree of the Tai Chu Institute, leisurely watching the sunset.

Zhang Tie stood below and shouted, "Ye Kong, are you really not participating in the secret investigation team? Have you forgotten what I told you?"

Ye Kong, with his mouth full of Elder Wang's homemade medicinal cake, interrupted Zhang Tie's words.

"Are you really unwilling to participate, or are you just being stubborn?" Zhang Tie was still chattering.

Ye Kong didn't answer. He really didn't want to go.

"Oh, right, I'm here to tell you that the Tai Chu Institute has a new batch of disciples, and Sima Shizun wants you to participate in the selection as well."

Before Zhang Tie could finish speaking, Ye Kong immediately jumped down from the tree. "What did you say? The Tai Chu Institute has new disciples again?"

"Yes."

"Alright!" Just as Ye Kong was about to get up, a sudden cold voice came.

"The host needs to complete the mission of joining the secret investigation team to obtain a mysterious reward!"

The system's voice suddenly exploded, directly stunning Ye Kong!

"What!"

Ye Kong was extremely speechless!

This broken system was clearly going against him. What kind of broken mysterious reward? He didn't care!

Ye Kong walked towards the front courtyard. Suddenly, a crackling sound rang in his ears, and the system's voice sounded again, "Joining the secret investigation team is just a stepping stone. The most important thing is, the Anti-Realm Sect has been thriving and evading the Upper Realm's pursuit everywhere until now. Is it just relying on luck?

"Don't you want to know the secrets behind it?"

"I don't want to know." Ye Kong went straight ahead.

Immediately afterwards, the scene changed, and Ye Kong came to the signpost of Lion Camel Ridge, the only way to the secret investigation team. He was lying diagonally, extremely lazy. If it weren't for a broadsword lying beside him, one would really think he was just resting here out of boredom.

Soon, a rustling sound came from the front. Immediately afterwards, a team of people wearing special black protective clothing walked over.

Logically speaking, the secret investigation team should pay special attention to the word 'secret' and should not be so blatant. However, who told the captain to be the infinitely glorious and empty-headed Hu Yishao?

He couldn't wait to proclaim to the whole world that he, Hu Yishao, was now leading disciples from various sects. How majestic and powerful he was.

This was just as well, saving Ye Kong the trouble.

Soon, someone noticed the person on the signpost.

"Look, there's someone there!"

Lei Bao shouted.

"What's the matter? What's the matter? Isn't it just a person? What's the big deal!" After saying this, Hu Yishao took a few steps towards this side. When he saw that the person in front of him was Ye Kong, his expression instantly changed dozens of times in a minute before he spat out a few words.

"How could it be, Ye Kong!"

"It's Ye Kong again. What is he doing here?"

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Ye Kong turned over and came down from the signpost. Because he had been curled up for too long, he didn't stand firmly and staggered a bit. Wen Jie grabbed him and asked in a low voice, "Ye Kong, what are you doing here?"

Ye Kong cleared his throat. "I also want to contribute to this mission, right?"

"Where were you going earlier?" Hu Yishao dismissed him with contempt.

"I'm not here to disrupt this team. I'm here to join this team." Ye Kong said kindly.
