Yang Wantian was very serious this time, and used his best skills. His sword was as hard as a mountain, and it stirred up a thousand piles of snow.
Everyone felt a suffocating sense of oppression, holding their breath and looking at Qin Feng expectantly.
Sword energy crisscrossed, creating a storm that swept through the entire venue.
Qin Feng let the cold wind blow against his face, remaining calm as he watched Yang Wantian approach. He didn't move his feet or take any precautions.
Just watching quietly, as if admiring a magnificent snow scene.
Yang Wantian also paid attention to Qin Feng's reaction. This time, he did not hold back. His eyes were filled with determination, the persistence of a sword cultivator.
He arrived, his longsword carrying the grandeur of the entire world, incorporating the majesty of the mountains and the frigid chill of the ice into his swordsmanship.
It must be said that Yang Wantian is quite capable of being the head of a manor; his unique swordsmanship gives him a significant advantage over cultivators of the same level.
Unfortunately, he chose the wrong person today.
Yang Wantian's aura was as sharp as the sword in his hand, pressing closely towards Qin Feng.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Qin Feng still held up one finger, the same one as before, causing everyone's lips to twitch.
Few people noticed the thin wisp of ethereal energy swirling around Qin Feng's fingertips, its charm inexplicable.
Qin Feng pointed his finger, accurately striking the tip of Yang Wantian's sword.
Yang Wantian, who was swooping down, was forced to stop once again.
Qin Feng was unharmed and did not retreat an inch.
The moment the two sides made contact, the momentum that Yang Wantian had built came to an abrupt halt.
The invisible iceberg disappeared, and the heaviness and coldness vanished along with it, as did the unease that felt like a thorn in one's back.
Everyone felt that the world had returned to normal. What was even more shocking was that despite such a powerful battle, the venue was completely undamaged and everything remained as before.
Everyone stared at Qin Feng in disbelief. Just what level was this guy at? He could deal with a Celestial King so easily; it was simply unimaginable.
Yan Yi and Yan Lie looked at each other, their eyes wide with shock. Could this person really have come from the Black Rope Immortal Realm?
The two were filled with lingering fear and relief. If they had offended Qin Feng back then, the Yan family of Blazing Fire Valley would have ceased to exist, just like the Yuan family.
The scene was eerily quiet. No one dared to speak until Qin Feng did, and everyone held him in awe.
Qin Feng withdrew his hand from the sword's edge and said calmly to Yang Wantian, "Admit defeat."
Yang Wantian felt bitter; this was the third time he had heard these words today.
The first time, he was furious, feeling that Qin Feng was looking down on him. He was so angry that his face turned red, and he wanted to teach Qin Feng a lesson.
The second time, he wasn't so angry. Proud and stubborn, he was full of resentment and wanted to prove himself.
Now, for the third time, he truly felt Qin Feng's power. He had already used his ultimate move, but the other party hadn't even made a move yet. He had to admit the enormous gap between them.
Yang Wantian stared blankly at Qin Feng with a bitter expression. "Can you tell me your cultivation level?"
Yes, after two moves, he couldn't even figure out Qin Feng's cultivation level. No wonder he couldn't tell before.
Everyone present listened intently; they were interested in this too.
Qin Feng's voice remained calm as he said indifferently, "Immortal Emperor."
With just two words, Yang Wantian was struck dumb, as if by lightning. He really had some nerve, daring to challenge the Immortal Emperor. He was truly courting death.
He felt a lingering fear, his mouth moved a few times, and finally he bowed deeply, saying, "Thank you for your mercy, senior. I am eternally grateful."
What he really wanted to say was, "Why didn't you say so sooner? If I had known you were a Celestial Emperor, I wouldn't have bothered fighting at all."
He was bold just now, but now he's timid and dares not say it out loud, lest he displease his senior and get slapped to death.
Qin Feng waved his hand, indicating that it was a small matter and there was no need to worry about it.
If he knew what Yang Wantian was thinking, he would be speechless. Didn't I tell you to admit defeat early on? You didn't believe me and insisted on having a couple of moves. Is that my fault?
Everyone heard their conversation, and they were even more shocked than Yang Wantian.
The term "Immortal Emperor" is rarely heard even in the Nine Nether Immortal Realm, yet they have actually seen one alive today.
The merchants were all thrilled; they had finally made it big and gotten on the good side.
People from other factions were equally shocked, feeling that the trip was worthwhile, having witnessed the Immortal Emperor's magnificence.
They marveled at the merchant's good fortune, saying it was as if his ancestors' graves were emitting auspicious smoke, and secretly resolved to befriend the merchant.
Various thoughts flashed through everyone's minds, but they all stared intently at Qin Feng.
Shang Zicong felt a deep sense of despair and bitterness. The Celestial Emperor... he was the Celestial Emperor!
What merit or ability do you, Shang Ziming, possess? It's already a miracle that he was able to invite a Celestial King, but you went and directly brought in a Celestial Emperor. How are we supposed to live?
He said that Shang Ziming's confidence had been exposed.
Shang Ziming's face beamed with joy; he was genuinely happy.
Upon hearing the words "Immortal Emperor," Shang Yunhai was shocked and found it unbelievable. Then, he was overjoyed, thinking that if he could befriend an Immortal Emperor, Shang's future would be limitless.
His attitude towards Qin Feng changed. Before, he treated him as just an ordinary distinguished guest, but now he wished he could worship him.
He wanted to bow to Qin Feng, but he found that he couldn't bend down, so Qin Feng stopped him.
Shang Yunhai was overjoyed. He changed his bow to a cupped-hand salute and said, "Thank you for visiting my Shang family. It has truly brought honor to my humble abode."
Qin Feng returned the greeting with a cupped hand, "You're too kind, senior. I hope I haven't bothered you. Brother Shang and I are friends, you can just call me Qin Feng."
Shang Yunhai quickly waved his hand, "No, no, I'm sorry to bother you. I'm being presumptuous by calling you young friend Qin."
Qin Feng reminded him, "Senior, shouldn't we announce the results now? I wonder who will win the position of the young master of the Shang family?"
Shang Yunhai snapped out of his excitement and said seriously:
"Young friend Qin is right. I hereby announce that, after a comprehensive evaluation over three years, the one who is qualified to assume the position of the young master of the Shang family is Shang Ziming."
No one was surprised by this result; it was practically a foregone conclusion that Shang Ziming would gain the support of a Celestial Emperor.
When Shang Ziming heard his grandfather announce that he had won the position of young master, he looked at Qin Feng with gratitude, and all the words he wanted to say came out as just "thank you".
Qin Feng smiled and congratulated him, "Brother Shang, congratulations on getting what you wanted."
Shang Yunhai looked at Shang Ziming with admiration in his eyes, took the initiative to approach him, reached out and gently patted his shoulder with a smile.
"Ziming, I've known you're capable since you were little. Keep up the good work, the future of Shangzi depends on you."
Shang Ziming nodded emphatically, "Grandpa, don't worry, I definitely will."
People came one after another to congratulate Shang Ziming, from the Shang family and other factions.
Some were happy while others were sad. Shang Zicong was eliminated, watching this scene with bitterness. Was it because he didn't try hard enough? Or was it that fate wouldn't let him win?
Yang Wantian shook his head slightly and advised through telepathy:
"For Qian'er's sake, I advise you not to have any wicked thoughts. That person is unfathomable and not someone you or I can afford to offend."
Shang Zicong nodded silently.
