145: Chapter 145 Ning Feichi is really dead...
Wen Jingci glanced at the others beside him, signaling them to step forward and investigate.
Receiving Wen Jingci's signal, the Grand Preceptor of Jin Kingdom stepped forward.
Walking up to the white cloth, the Grand Preceptor of Jin Kingdom wasn't particularly nervous, but Wen Jingci was feeling a bit tense.
Other Ninth-Grade Supremes had limited knowledge regarding Ning Feichi's true strength.
The only one who truly knew how much power he possessed was still only Wen Jingci.
In his subconscious, he simply did not believe that Ning Feichi could die.
Wen Jingci had witnessed his abilities and seen Ning Feichi's martial arts prowess.
His martial Foundation and the martial pressure he released were worlds apart from other Ninth-Grades.
In Wen Jingci's view, the kind of pressure Ning Feichi released could already be termed 'Tenth-Grade.'
But seeing the expressions on the faces of Li Yuan, Yan Louchuan, and the others, Wen Jingci couldn't help but feel uneasy in his heart.
These Ninth-Grades from the Shun Kingdom looked completely at ease, as if they truly weren't worried at all.
One could even read an expression of watching a joke from their faces.
Wen Jingci raised his hand and waved the brush, drawing in thin air.
The next moment, another Ink Dragon drifted out, its roar intimidating and heart-piercing.
Li Yuan saw through the reason for Wen Jingci's sudden action at a glance.
This was to bolster courage—to bolster the courage of his own people.
He was panicked; he sensed that something was wrong.
The Grand Preceptor of Jin Kingdom also saw this; their number one Supreme was no longer calm.
It wasn't just the Ninth-Grades of Jin Kingdom who saw something was wrong; even King Guiyuan felt it.
King Guiyuan had dominated the Shun Kingdom for many years and had been in close contact with the Amber Sovereign.
They had a clear understanding of these top-tier Ninth-Grade experts.
Compared to ordinary people, many Ninth-Grade experts feared death even more and dared not contend with other strong individuals.
Wen Jingci's actions were far too obvious, looking very much like a bluff.
Meanwhile, the Grand Preceptor of Jin Kingdom had already lifted a corner of the white cloth.
It was indeed a person, though one couldn't fully confirm the identity just by looking at the back of the head.
But everyone could sense that something was wrong.
Wen Jingci restrained himself with all his might, yet his internal panic was still palpable.
As for Prince Fang, the number one Eighth-Grade in the Jin Kingdom, he had already retreated quite far.
He had sensed something was wrong long ago.
The moment he saw Li Yuan, Prince Fang felt that the person before him was even more powerful than Wen Jingci.
Prince Fang was naturally sensitive and sharp, having sensed many dangers in his life in advance.
Today, he felt he was not mistaken either.
Just now, Wen Jingci had personally said that if they went all out, Ning Feichi would still beat him by half a margin.
Ning Feichi's strength surpassed Wen Jingci's.
If Ning Feichi died at Li Yuan's hands, what did that imply?
How great must the strength gap be to intercept and kill such an opponent?
If Li Yuan could make Ning Feichi lose his life, could he also make Wen Jingci die?
Thinking of this, Prince Fang moved even further away.
As long as the outcome looked wrong, he was prepared to flee immediately!
Amidst the hesitation, the Grand Preceptor of Jin Kingdom flipped the person's corpse over.
Seeing the appearance and clothing, Wen Jingci, the number one Supreme of the Jin Kingdom, instantly turned pale, losing all color in his face.
Ning Feichi, it really was that Ning Feichi from the Tianqiong Continent...
Just a while ago, he had met with Ning Feichi.
In front of Wen Jingci, Ning Feichi had been high-spirited and full of vigor.
In Wen Jingci's eyes, Ning Feichi was the world's number one Martial Artist, possessing transcendent strength that no one could rival.
Whether it was the Jin Kingdom or the Shun Kingdom, it would be as difficult as reaching the heavens to even wound him.
But before him, Ning Feichi was dead.
This Martial Artist with 'Tenth-Grade' strength was dead.
In an instant, the nearby Ink Dragon and Ink Tiger turned back into ink and fell to the ground.
Wen Jingci's body trembled; he was already somewhat elderly, and with this expression, he looked even more like an old man with one foot in the grave.
Looking at Li Yuan, Wen Jingci now cast a pleading gaze.
He knew very clearly exactly what kind of person he had provoked.
The Shun Kingdom's number one Supreme's strength was not simply greater than the Amber Sovereign's.
Li Yuan's true strength had truly taken a massive step upward!
"Supreme Li's strength is profound and unpredictable; previously, this old man was blind and foolish.
The Shun Kingdom's King Guiyuan has a deep grudge against Supreme Li. Bringing him here today, I originally intended to hand him over..."
The words Wen Jingci spoke had now completely changed.
He no longer referred to himself as 'this old master,' but instead called himself 'this old man.'
Previously, he had stood up for King Guiyuan, spoke for him, and challenged Li Yuan's bottom line.
But now, King Guiyuan was being described by him as someone intentionally brought to be handed over to Li Yuan.
There were so many scouts around, and secret reports and spies from various countries were all here.
Logically, the Jin Kingdom and Shun Kingdom had been in opposition for years, and both sides placed great importance on reputation and morale.
Right now, under the watchful eyes of so many people, Wen Jingci was bowing his head and submitting.
By taking such an action, he would no longer have any prestige left in the Jin Kingdom.
Wen Jingci was perfectly aware of these consequences.
But he knew even more clearly that if he didn't bow his head, he might lose his life.
Ning Feichi's methods were even more powerful than his, and even Ning Feichi had perished here. Did he still have a chance?
Seeing this scene, the expression on Li Yuan's face remained calm.
However, the other Ninth-Grade Supremes behind Li Yuan couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Supreme Wen's old face can actually change so much. I really thought you were a man of your word and extremely tough."
Yan Louchuan spoke with a smile, and facing such ridicule, Wen Jingci didn't get angry at all.
"We Supremes all work for the interests of our nations and clans.
To preserve the overall situation, one must naturally bow when it's time to bow.
Moreover, Supreme Li Yuan is magnanimous and only seeks to maintain the status quo.
Since Supreme Li Yuan is willing to yield so much, we should naturally..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Li Yuan reached out and signaled him to stop.
Li Yuan stepped toward King Guiyuan.
This prince's face was now as ashen as death.
That kind of despairing expression simply couldn't be faked.
King Guiyuan knew he couldn't survive; he was also someone who had held a high position.
For a person to live, they must either have value or be ignored.
And he, King Guiyuan, was the great enemy who had caused Li Yuan's family to be destroyed.
With such hatred existing, it was impossible for Li Yuan to ignore him.
Furthermore, speaking of value, he had almost none for the Shun Kingdom.
Aside from wanting him dead, what other need could the people of Shun Kingdom have for him?
In the past, King Guiyuan was nothing more than a parasite of the Shun Kingdom.
What kind of value could such a parasite have?
"Amber Sovereign, do you know where he's hiding?"
Hearing Li Yuan's question, King Guiyuan was dazed for a good while.
Coming back to his senses, his face suddenly turned fierce. From the looks of it, he still wanted to spite Li Yuan: "Some things, don't even think about..."
Before he could finish his sentence, a sharp Sword Qi pierced through his skull.
"Forget it if you don't want to say it. I didn't care much anyway."
Li Yuan turned his head away indifferently; it was just a casual question, yet this King Guiyuan really thought he was important.
At the same time, Prince Fang had already fled back to the territory of the Jin Kingdom...
