CHAPTER 77: CHAPTER 77: BRILLIANT 9 COLORS

Jiang Cheng wasn’t foolish; he could see that these people were all acting out of greed for the treasure.

Not to mention keeping himself safe, even if he could, they’d definitely turn on him afterward.

So while taking off his outer robe, he exposed all those old schemers who were secretly sending voice transmissions.

"Sigh, there’s no need to whisper, everyone. Let me be clear, I don’t have the treasure you’re talking about."

After removing the outer robe, he gave it a shake.

"If you don’t believe me, have a look."

He was going to die soon anyway, and the robe would be destroyed if not taken off.

"I really don’t have it. I don’t even know why you think I have a lot of Tier Nine Spirit Talismans."

"The one from last time was just a coincidence—it was only one!"

He looked innocent, desperately trying to prove his ’innocence.’

This time coming to Eight Clouds Hall, aside from an Empty Ring and a ring on his finger filled with some Spirit Stone Elixirs, along with two spiritual artifacts he’d won, he really didn’t have anything else related to cultivation.

He hadn’t even brought basic strategic resources like weapons and Spirit Talisman Array Discs.

The last time the system inexplicably upgraded the spirit talisman, Qi Cang, Lu Zhong, and the others were shocked, while Brother Cheng was rather annoyed.

Once again, it was a one-time show-off tool; once used, it was gone and couldn’t last.

So this time, he simply didn’t bring such things to see how the system would handle it.

Nobody could guess his thoughts.

Everyone’s expression was a bit stunned; what was this maneuver?

They finally believed that Jiang Cheng truly had no other treasures.

But now, they somewhat suspected that this person might be an idiot.

If someone says you have something, you better really have it. Even if you don’t, you should pretend to, otherwise you’re truly doomed.

Xiang Ba looked at him like a circus clown and suddenly regretted.

When entering the mountain gate, he was actually intimidated by such a minor character, and even ceded the way to him. He should’ve slapped him to death back then.

"You truly deserve to die."

He slowly summoned his spirit sword.

Jiang Cheng seemed ’terrified,’ quickly looking around for help.

"Sect Leader Qi, you just transmitted that you were willing to save me, save me quickly!"

"Elder Xu, you said you had a way to resist Xiang Ba..."

"Master Mo, you said you could take me all the way through the siege. I absolutely believe in you!"

"Master Tong, isn’t your Celestial Pill Pavilion known for not acknowledging the Qianxing Dynasty, just say a word..."

In the blink of an eye, he exposed all the prominent figures who had been transmitting secretly just now.

It enraged them.

This damned guy, some words are okay to say in a transmission, but not when laid bare.

When transmitting, to deceive him into giving a ring, of course, they boasted as much as they could.

In reality, how dare they truly offend the Qianxing Dynasty.

"Heh..."

"Hahaha!"

Xiang Ba was so angry he started laughing, his gaze like a blade as it swept over each person.

"You truly have the nerve!"

The crowd was scared out of their wits, quickly distancing themselves from Jiang Cheng.

"May the Eldest Prince discern clearly, this thief is spouting nonsense, I, Xu Yuancan, can’t kill him fast enough, how could I protect him?"

"Indeed, my Bai Fu Hall wouldn’t dare oppose the Eldest Prince!"

"As long as there’s a command, we three from Fire Cloud Peak are willing to help the Eldest Prince kill this filth!"

"This thief is still trying to splash my Celestial Pill Pavilion with dirt, it’s absolutely abhorrent. Please, Eldest Prince, kill him quickly, and I’ll be forever grateful!"

If Jiang Cheng truly had a ring, they might take the risk.

A great treasure is worth the risk.

Without a ring, they wouldn’t dare oppose the Eldest Prince.

In no time, Jiang Cheng became the public enemy.

However, he wasn’t satisfied yet.

"Do you all want me dead?"

Brother Cheng’s acting was on a different level from those disciples earlier.

That expression couldn’t be more tragic, couldn’t be more disappointed.

If you observed closely, you could even see the glistening light of sorrow in his eyes.

And all the people present didn’t disappoint him.

"Kill him!"

"Eldest Prince, quickly kill him!"

"He’s the source of this chaos. He must be removed to quell the public anger!"

Everyone was filled with righteous indignation, their attitudes unprecedentedly unified, as if Jiang Cheng had killed all their fathers.

Most were trying to curry favor with the Eldest Prince, and some were angry and embarrassed because their hope of obtaining a ring had been dashed.

As for the last part, they stood with Eight Clouds Hall, viewing Jiang Cheng as the enemy.

Great, great, Brother Cheng’s heart was elated.

Well, this is your choice, not something I forced or led you to do! Heaven and Earth bear witness!

Now everyone present wanted to kill him, and the moment he was killed, the system would determine all present as enemies.

"Truly pathetic..."

The Eldest Prince’s smile was mocking, like watching an insect struggle futilely in a spider’s web.

"Now killing you has become what everyone wants."

"Given the chance to seek help, you were useless, and you still face inescapable death."

Brother Cheng cheerfully watched him deliver his victor’s declaration, finally offering some encouragement.

"Well, you better give it your best shot."

Best shot at killing me soon.

After speaking, he revealed his Divine Mansion.

Suddenly, the sky changed color!

The Divine Mansion descended with a roar, surrounded by nine-colored radiance, with nine martial rivers hanging in the air.

Densely packed mysterious marks slowly flowed through the steaming mist, emitting mesmerizing brilliance!

The Divine Mansion flickered amidst the rivers and mist, even incomprehensible with Divine Thought.

However, everyone knew what this meant.

"Radiant Divine Mansion!"

Qi Yuansheng was full of disbelief, no longer as composed as before.

The Great Elder even shrieked.

"Nine colors! It’s actually nine colors!"

To them, that Divine Mansion in the sky was an impossible miracle, like the reversal of the star river.

"Heavens, such a tier of Divine Mansion truly exists beyond mere legend!"

"Nine is the ultimate number..."

"It’s said that the Nine-Colored Divine Mansion is revered as the Radiant Divine Mansion, encompassing all Martial Dao Marks, all-encompassing..."

"Whoever possesses the Radiant Divine Mansion will surely ascend to the Saint Tier in the future!"

No one could remain calm.

Some disciples with low cultivation even knelt on the spot due to their minds being captivated by that Divine Mansion.

It was the yearning and reverence for the pinnacle of Martial Dao...

In this moment, whether Qi Cang or Ling Yi, they lost their previous aura of genius, becoming utterly ordinary.

Xiang Ba’s Five-Colored Divine Mansion hadn’t even clashed with that Radiant Divine Mansion but was already teetering.

That was the natural chasm in Divine Mansion Tiers, an instinctive retreat!

When the Martial Dao Marks between the two Divine Mansions collided, the Five-Colored Divine Mansion faded as if its rivers were being drawn out.

He suddenly realized that the Radiant Divine Mansion was actually extracting his Martial Dao Enlightenment.

This person must not be allowed to remain!

"Kill!"

He was even grateful for encountering Jiang Cheng today, for otherwise, if this person grew smoothly, the Qianxing Dynasty would have to defer to him.

That was the Radiant Divine Mansion!

Even among the sons and daughters of Ancient Sacred Land’s emperors and saints, none possessed it.

In Jiang Cheng’s eyes, it was as if an entire sun had ignited; he could see nothing else, his vision, his Divine Sense, all were filled with blazing light.

The Eldest Prince’s first strike was the Qianxing Dynasty’s secret technique, the Emperor’s Extreme Shocking Sun Slash!

With his Ninth Layer Celestial Fate power, the secret technique’s might was sufficient to level the main peaks of Eight Clouds Hall within hundreds of miles with a single blow.
