On what grounds?
“Hahaha, Luo Wuji, what do you think gives you the right?” Suddenly, a cold, thunderous shout rang out. This voice seemed to come from beyond the heavens, as if a true immortal had descended upon the world.
Everyone involuntarily looked towards it.
The Imperial Hall had windows, and many of them. Through these windows, one could take in the bustling traffic outside. At the same time, one could also see the sky outside.
At this moment, dusk was approaching. The azure sky was clear for thousands of miles, without a trace of cloud, while the setting sun in the distance seemed to still need some time before it touched the ground.
But, just after that cold voice fell, the entire sky above Dragon Capital instantly transformed with wind and clouds. The originally cloudless sky was instantly covered in dark clouds. Black smoke gathered from all directions, and the churning dark clouds were like pitch-black giant hands, directly covering the entire sky above Dragon Capital. It had clearly still been daytime just now, but in an instant, the whole of Dragon Capital was plunged into darkness.
Like a divine miracle!
Many people looked up at the sky in terror. Because of the live broadcast, many people knew clearly that Qingmang had arrived. And people everywhere in Dragon Capital raised their heads one after another, their faces showing expressions of extreme terror as they looked at the sky completely covered by dark clouds.
“Rumble!”
Lightning streaked across the sky. In the dark clouds above Dragon Capital, accompanied by flashes of lightning that illuminated the entire city, a person in white as pure as snow stood with hands behind his back, treading through the void in the sky step by step.
A peerless bearing, an extraordinary demeanour!
This scene was naturally broadcast live directly.
“My heavens, am I seeing a myth?”
“Is that Qingmang?”
“This is absolutely an immortal!”
“This, this, this, this is definitely not human. Who can come striding through the lightning?”
Those watching on television domestically were all exclaiming in shock. These people truly believed Qingmang was an immortal now. On ordinary days, they would make a fuss over any supernatural event. When the Leshan Giant Buddha once emitted a Buddhist light, it had caused quite a stir. And the former Yingkou dragon fall had shocked the entire nation.
Those past incidents had merely been things based on hearsay, yet they could still terrify people. How much more so now, seeing it with their own eyes through a live broadcast, and with such a grand celestial phenomenon like a solar eclipse? Even many people had already gotten up and rushed out of their houses, kneeling and kowtowing in the direction of Dragon Capital!
“Causing a celestial phenomenon upon appearance, this is the bearing of an immortal!”
“Luo Wuji is definitely dead today. He is merely a common mortal, yet he offended an immortal!”
This was the sentiment of many people.
Panlong Bay, Xinzhou.
“Did Xiaochen really provoke an immortal this time?” Luo’s father suddenly panicked in fright.
In a Taoist temple on the Qinghai side.
“Master, what about Luo Wuji this time?”
“Alas, he will not survive this tribulation. We all underestimated that lineage from Qingcheng Mountain.” An old Taoist looked at the scene on the television and sighed.
Where there is worry, there is also joy.
Especially the various major wealthy families within Dragon Capital, and especially the heads of those wealthy families and various big shots currently at the entrance of the Imperial Hall.
“Luo Wuji, do you understand now?”
“Now do you understand the gap between you and Immortal Qingmang?” Li Tianyou sneered.
“Now do you understand why we sided with him? Even if it is being ungrateful, so what?”
“You, Luo Wuji, are merely a common mortal, while Immortal Qingmang is a living immortal. How can you possibly compete with him?” Yu Xinghe similarly mocked with a laugh.
“Luo Wuji, now do you understand why I said you and Immortal Qingmang are as far apart as heaven and earth?” Tang Jing also shook her head and spoke.
“I advised you to leave long ago, but you stubbornly refused to listen. Do you regret it now?” Tang Jing sneered repeatedly.
“Luo Wuji, today you cannot escape!” That icy voice was filled with killing intent.
“We respectfully welcome Immortal Qingmang!” Many people knelt down one after another.
And Qingmang walked step by step through the void to above the entrance of the Kaiyue International Hotel.
Qingmang stood with hands behind his back, the expression on his face arrogant to the extreme.
At this moment, with the television live broadcast, he wanted to crush Luo Wuji with an invincible posture before the entire nation, telling the world that he, Qingmang, was the number one person in Huaxia, the man standing at the pinnacle of Huaxia!
He wanted to trample Luo Wuji ruthlessly beneath his feet.
And indeed, as he wished, at this moment the entire nation saw him standing proudly above the entrance of the Kaiyue International Hotel, while Luo Wuji was inside, simply not showing his face all along.
Many people stared intently at their televisions, afraid of missing a single frame.
“See that?”
“This is the invincible posture that the true number one person in Huaxia should have!”
“Immortal Qingmang is the number one person in Huaxia!” Many people shouted one after another.
“Number one in Huaxia!”
“Number one in Huaxia!”
“Number one in Hua…”
The crowd directly raised wave after wave of cheering at the entrance.
And Qingmang stood proudly, his eyes filled with disdain, casting his gaze through the window towards Luo Chen inside the Imperial Hall.
“Who is the number one person in Huaxia?” Just at this moment, suddenly a powerful, deep voice rang out. By the accent, it was a foreigner, but his Mandarin was extremely fluent.
This voice directly drowned out the crowd’s cheers.
Immediately, everyone looked towards the street corner in confusion. There stood a man, robustly built, wearing a black leather jacket, arms crossed, leaning against the wall at the street corner.
Most eye-catching of all, that man’s head of fiery red hair was particularly striking.
“Naturally it is Immortal Qingmang above our heads, number one in Huaxia, the pinnacle of Huaxia!” Someone shouted with all their might.
“Right, Immortal Qingmang is absolutely the number one person in Huaxia!”
“Oh, so you are the number one person in Huaxia?” That red-haired man suddenly twisted his neck, then shook his shoulders, and began cracking his knuckles.
Qingmang’s brow furrowed. This strange person gave him an uncomfortable feeling.
“Who are you?” Qingmang asked with a frown.
“You answer me first. Are you the number one person in Huaxia?” Hailong pressed.
Qingmang’s frown deepened.
“Hmph, what kind of thing are you?”
“Immortal Qingmang asked you to answer, yet you actually…”
“Bang!”
The person who spoke was directly sent flying, crashing heavily into a car parked by the roadside.
“Supernatural ability?” Qingmang was slightly startled.
But the people around were not frightened by this scene at all. Instead, they became even more furious and arrogant.
“What audacity, daring to strike someone before Immortal Qingmang!”
“You are courting death!” Someone hiding in the crowd shouted wildly and arrogantly.
“I will ask you one more time. Are you the number one person in Huaxia?” Hailong tilted his head and looked at Qingmang.
As a result, before Qingmang could even answer, another large group of people directly shouted.
“Are you deaf?”
“He naturally is the number one person in Huaxia!”
“Good, then there should be no mistake. It is you.”
“Come, I can let you make the first move!” Hailong said as he removed his black leather jacket.
