Marquis Zhaoyuan...
How could someone at the Mountain and Sea Realm possibly contend with such an existence?
Even if Shi Xuanyi was deeply resentful of the death of the Marquis of Jingcheng, it did not mean that he was willing to throw his own life away in vain.
"From this day forward, Shi Xuanyi is expelled from Tongtian Academy. Wherever he is, he is forbidden from considering himself a disciple of the Marquis of Jingcheng. Otherwise... he will be executed without mercy!"
Shen Qian scoffed, picked up the plaque, and turned to leave.
"you……"
Shi Xuanyi was filled with shame, anger, and shock, especially when he saw the strange looks from the people around him, he felt even more ashamed.
As a direct disciple of the Marquis of Jingcheng, Shen Qian certainly had the right to expel him, but this would mean that he would forever bear the reputation of an "abandoned disciple," which would be a great disgrace for ordinary martial artists, let alone for a well-established top-tier martial artist.
Shi Xuanyi, who was above, roared and attacked Shen Qian without regard for anything else, as if he wanted to salvage something.
At this moment, a projection of the Great Dao, nearly ten feet high, appeared on Shi Xuanyi's body. His physical body manifested as Vajra, carrying the supreme power of wind and thunder, and pierced through Chen Qian's unsuspecting vest.
Even in his rage, Shi Xuanyi did not underestimate Shen Qian and used all his strength.
Without turning his head, Shen Qian sneered, "Since you don't cherish it, today I will take away your cultivation on behalf of your teacher!"
boom!
No one saw clearly how Chen Qian made his move. In a fleeting moment, a very small number of top-tier Mountain and Sea experts saw a dark Buddha statue that flashed by. The ferocious Buddha, who seemed to be sitting cross-legged on a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, gave them a great shock. Then, in the next second, they saw Shi Xuanyi's figure flying back at a speed ten times faster than when he came.
Boom!
The streets of the underground city were paved with specially made star steel, which was originally extremely hard and could not be easily marked even by ordinary mountains and seas. But at this moment, it cracked for hundreds of meters, and under the impact of Shi Xuanyi's body, a human-shaped crater appeared.
Shi Xuanyi lay there, barely alive, his eyes glazed over.
A martial artist, using only his mental power to sense it, gasped in shock.
Although Shi Xuanyi did not die, all his meridians were shattered into dust, rendering him no different from a cripple. Such injuries could not be cured even by the best medicine in the world. It was foreseeable that even if Shi Xuanyi could barely recover, he would probably not have much strength left.
It is highly likely that his cultivation level will drop back to that of an ordinary martial artist.
His two consecutive attacks unequivocally demonstrated Shen Qian's terrifying strength, causing some of the top-tier Mountain and Sea Realm experts who were initially eager to make a move to immediately abandon their ulterior motives.
"Holy crap... Look, look at the plaque that Shen Qian is carrying!"
While many people's attention was still on Shi Xuanyi, someone suddenly exclaimed.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the white cloth that had been covering the words on the plaque on Shen Qian's shoulder had fallen off at some point during the fight, revealing the plaque's true appearance.
The plaque bears four large characters: "Worse than pigs and dogs."
But what truly silenced everyone was the inscription in the upper left corner: "Gifted to Marquis Zhaoyuan".
To bestow upon Marquis Zhaoyuan... is he worse than a pig or a dog?
Everyone was stunned.
What does this mean?
Considering Shen Qian's earlier question to Shi Xuanyi, "Do you dare to go with him to the residence of Marquis Zhaoyuan?", many people thought Shen Qian was just joking at the time, but now it seems that it may not be that simple.
While everyone was still discussing it, Shen Qian had already turned around and strode away.
Someone's heart skipped a beat, and they quietly followed. A moment later, they turned back with a strange expression. "Shen Qian went to Wanghou Street..."
"Hiss, is this really the residence of Marquis Zhaoyuan?"
This time, the crowd was truly in an uproar.
How long has it been since there was a direct challenge from the mountains and seas to the kings and nobles?
Some people have already guessed that if Marquis Ruojingcheng really died at the hands of a human king, then Marquis Zhaoyuan is most likely involved.
The problem is that since the Martial Arts Department covered up the matter, Shen Qian's provocative behavior is completely untenable. Just based on that plaque, even if Marquis Zhaoyuan killed him on the spot, no one could say anything against him.
Others were filled with questions.
Even if someone really wants revenge, shouldn't it be Jiang Huan who does it?
What's the difference between drowning and suicide...?
Some called to their friends, some were worried, and some turned away with solemn expressions, seemingly going somewhere to spread the news. Many more, however, couldn't wait to rush to Wanghou Street, afraid of missing this earth-shattering scene.
...
Wanghou Street.
Shen Qian was carrying the plaque and striding forward.
He ignored the storms that followed him. In fact, from the moment he appeared in the underground city, Shen Qian never thought of hiding anything.
Even without the tea restaurant incident, his actual fight with Zhaoyuan Hou would still have alarmed the entire city in the center of the earth.
He had been waiting for over a month, and he didn't want to wait any longer.
Although Wu Wei had given his tacit approval, Shen Qian still considered the overall situation and only set off after the war had stabilized.
Of course, another reason for this is that he is waiting for the system to wake up.
Although Shen Qian did not intend to rely entirely on the system this time, he had to consider things more thoroughly. If Wu Wei was unable to control the situation and this triggered a full-scale counterattack from the Divine Emperor Palace, he had to have sufficient contingency plans to deal with any unexpected events.
It takes 1000% energy to wake up the system...
The cost was that the assets before the sinking shrank from nearly 100 billion to only a few billion.
Besides cash, Chen Qian also sold off a lot of fixed assets, and even transferred the equity of the physical potion. In addition, he exchanged some resources in the Hundred Kings Hall. It took him nearly a month to finally raise enough source stones to reawaken the system.
