270: handover

"A fellow who does not understand etiquette deserves to die."

"To dare not kneel and pay respects upon seeing King Anbei is simply courting death."

"With that slap, even if he does not die, he will be crippled. His life is probably over."

"Hmph, just look at his bewildered expression; you can tell he just ascended from the Lower Realm and is heading to Anbei Royal City after receiving his mission."

"Plenty of guys like this die every day. They all think the Immortal Realm is some great place, only to regret it once they arrive."

The people kneeling on the ground whispered among themselves. Li Haotian had long since been locked in place and was completely unable to move. Seeing the palm getting closer and closer, the System in his mind issued a terrifying alarm.

"Host detected facing a life-or-death crisis. System automatic counterattack initiated!"

After hearing this, Li Haotian froze in place. The System actually has this function, damn it??

A surging power instantly appeared within Li Haotian. Subsequently, everyone present felt a blur before their eyes, and they lost all perception of Li Haotian's presence.

Almost instantaneously, without any process of advancement, Li Haotian arrived at an extremely terrifying Realm.

With just a single glance forward, the palm strike released by King Anbei shattered instantly.

King Anbei was terrified, as she had just felt a power that made her heart palpitate.

One must know that she was a dignified Immortal King, yet she felt chills all over when facing a Powerhouse at the Earth Immortal level, to the point where she might be killed in the next instant.

Li Haotian's body was completely out of his control. He could only perceive what actions he was taking, but he could not manipulate them.

He saw himself rushing forward at extreme speed. King Anbei's heart trembled, and she hurriedly raised her right hand, causing ripples of Law power to spread out from it.

This was King Anbei cultivating the Dao Law. After cultivating a single Dao Law to an extremely strong level, one's Realm would climb bit by bit. Before, one might have needed to search for various Daos, but after arriving in the Immortal Realm, one searches for Laws.

Li Haotian did not hesitate at all; he also raised his right hand. The speed of his actions and the terrified expression on his face were completely contradictory.

The moment Li Haotian raised his hand, the surrounding Dao began to collapse.

Even the Law power was not spared; it seemed that the Law power emanating from him far exceeded that of King Anbei.

Laws also have distinctions of strength. If one's level of comprehension is higher than the opponent's, or if one can crush the opponent in different Domains, one can achieve what is happening before their eyes.

Li Haotian did not even know what kind of Law the System was using to suppress the opponent so thoroughly.

King Anbei inexplicably wanted to turn and flee, but her throat was grabbed.

Li Haotian charged directly into her carriage, grabbed her by the neck fiercely, and then rushed out from the other side of the carriage.

Only after reaching the air did Li Haotian see clearly that what he was holding in his hand was actually a cute little loli with twin ponytails.

She wore a look of terror and struggled frantically.

She seemed to want to scream, but with her throat tightly gripped, she could only make strange sounds.

The System flew to a very high altitude and then proceeded to give the little loli in front of it a brutal beating.

Moreover, this System fellow seemed to have a strange fetish; it kept attacking her bottom, either slapping her bottom or kicking her bottom.

King Anbei could still curse out loud at first, but later she could only cover her bottom tightly, hoping to avoid further attacks.

[Immortal Emperor Peak Realm Experience Card used in advance. Please remember to repay this in the future, Host.]

[One quarter of an hour remaining. Please use it as you see fit, Host.]

After saying this, the System returned control of the body to Li Haotian.

Li Haotian sat in the air, dazed. His left hand was holding the little loli down, while his right hand was vigorously spanking her bottom.

The moment his body returned to him, his hand froze in place.

King Anbei fought back her tears, but upon seeing Li Haotian's bewildered expression, she burst into loud sobs.

"I have lived for over 200,000 years, and today I have actually been humiliated by you!"

Her heart-wrenching wails rang out. Li Haotian's expression was somewhat strange, but he immediately placed a Restriction inside her body.

As long as this Restriction existed, she could not attack him, or rather, could not do anything detrimental to him.

Otherwise, she would suffer a powerful backlash.

After doing all this, Li Haotian unlocked her Cultivation and put on the appearance of an inscrutable, enlightened expert.

"Next time, if you ever despise those Cultivators like this again, just remember what happened today."

After Li Haotian finished speaking, he wanted to run away, but was grabbed by King Anbei.

"Who are you? Who exactly are you!"

"I didn't mean to kill you just now, alright? That slap of mine was just to scare you!"

King Anbei's voice was filled with intense grievance; she really hadn't intended to kill Li Haotian just now.

The majesty contained in that slap was merely meant as a punishment. With that slap, the opponent wouldn't be crippled or die; he would only be sent flying by the powerful force, and it would likely take a long time for him to return to her Anbei City.

Her purpose in doing so was to prevent him from taking office within his term, so that she could punish him rightfully according to the Law and make him understand the consequences of disrespecting his superior.

Li Haotian's expression was also somewhat strange; perhaps the power contained in that slap was enough to kill him, but it had manifested in a different way.

The System was unwilling to take any risks. Even if the other party was telling the truth, the System would immediately take over the body as soon as it sensed danger.

The risk this time was truly significant; he had actually consumed an Immortal Emperor Cultivation Experience Card.

He hadn't expected that just after arriving in the Immortal Realm, he would inexplicably end up in a state of heavy debt.

Li Haotian smiled awkwardly, then slapped the back of her neck, forcefully using his Heaven-Defying magic power to alter the memories in her mind.

He had these memories permanently sealed in the deepest part of her heart.

Everyone present, including the nine True Dragons, had their memories erased, making it seem as if none of this had ever existed.

It was as if time had flowed backward; the nine True Dragons reappeared at the city gate, and King Anbei was back in her seat.

The crowd was still kneeling on the ground, and this time, Li Haotian, being very sincere, also knelt there.

After the Dragon carriage left, the crowd raised their heads one after another and continued to line up at the city gate to enter the city.

The last trace of power in Li Haotian's body also disappeared completely, and his Realm returned to Earth Immortal.

Now, with only the Cultivation of the first level of Earth Immortal, he arrived at the city gate to register his identity and name, and took out his handover documents.
