Emperor’s Domination - Chapter 2754

Chapter 2754

Li Jiankun and the others naturally became red, not expecting the referee to be so biased towards Zhou Ziqing .

They learned a lesson about the cruelness of this world . When one wasn’t strong enough, they wouldn’t get help from others either .

“We defeated her so we have the right to decide her fate . ” Jiankun retorted .

The sword saint turned cold: “If I say this ends here, it ends here . It is my authority as a referee . ”

“Hahaha…” Zhou Ziqing couldn’t help but sneer at them: “So what if you won, you still can’t do anything to me! Remember well, my sect will turn Mountguard into ashes . You will regret ever opposing me . ”

She was embarrassed and resentful for losing to the group . Alas, their inability to kill her prompted the gloating .

The sword saint frowned after hearing this . He risked his reputation saving her in order to curry favor from the two behemoths . Who would have thought that she would still act so foolishly?

Everyone knew that she would go on a crazy mission for revenge after this and destroy Mountguard . However, keep that implicit instead of declaring it right now . What an unwise decision .

Alas, he was riding the tiger and couldn’t get down now . He had no choice but to maintain this course .

“Then we’ll kill you first!” The furious Ruoxi thrust her sword forward .

“Stop . Like I said, spilling blood here is shaming the sacred ground . No one can be disrespectful towards the progenitor . ” The sword saint used a finger flick to stop the sword and uttered coldly .

He assumed the moral high ground of protecting the progenitor’s prestige in order to stop the seven from killing Ziqing .

In reality, this was a planned fight from the start and wouldn’t have stained the sacred ground at all .

“That’s unfair, this was decided to be a fight to the death from the beginning . We should be able to kill her now . ” Zhao Zhiting disagreed .

The spectators were satisfied with just watching . Some were unhappy with the biased sword saint but this wasn’t the time to say anything .

“This is my final judgment . I treat everyone equally and would have done the same if your group had lost earlier . ” The sword saint said .

The group didn’t believe him at all; their lips pursed into a disdainful sneer .

“Hmph, I highly doubt it, everyone can see your bias . ” The young Wang Xuehong couldn’t help himself .

The sword saint didn’t like this blatant comment about his bias, even though it was as clear as day . It made his face turn red with both anger and awkwardness .

“Fool! A referee has the right to make decisions . If you don’t respect my authority, I will teach you a lesson in your senior’s stead!” He threatened and took one step forward, showing some aggression .

“He’s ruining his own reputation . ” One ancestor shook his head after seeing the sword saint’s conduct .

He clearly threw away his face in order to save Zhou Ziqing . Unfortunately, the situation would be worse for him if he were to let her die . That’s the same as offending both Central Sacred Ground and Eight Trigrams Kingdom . He weighed his options and made his decision .

“An idiot like you isn’t qualified to teach them anything . ” A casual voice sounded .

Everyone looked over and saw that the speaker was Li Qiye .

He opened his eyes and watched everything, seemingly nonchalant at the unfair treatment of his disciples .

The seven became excited because everything was going to be fine with their ancestor backing them up .

“You!” The sword saint didn’t like being called an “idiot” in front of the crowd .

Moreover, deep in his mind, he didn’t give a damn about Mountguard or this so-called “ancestor” .

This sentiment was shared by many in the crowd . This ancestor from Mountguard couldn’t be that strong . He could only be an Ascender at best, and a low-level one at that .

On the other hand, the sword saint was a mighty Ascender . He wouldn’t give this cripple a second look .

“The referee’s decisions are final since that’s the rules! Challenging this is the same as ignoring the laws of Reincarnation Mountain and the teachings of the progenitor…” He took a deep breath and coldly said .

“Alright, stop assuming an unwarranted role of authority or frame them of disrespect the progenitor . From henceforth, I cancel your status as a referee, scram to the side . ” Li Qiye waved his hand and interrupted .

“You!” How could the sword saint allow something like this to happen? His reputation would be ruined .

He took a deep breath and said: “Before the battle, both the Central Sacred Ground and your sect have agreed to my proposal on top of accepting the rules of Reincarnation Mountain City . To renege will incite the contempt of others…”

Weizheng turned red after hearing this . He didn’t ask the guy to be the referee, it was just that there was no other candidate . Who would have thought that such a famous character could act so shamelessly?

“Is that so? Then let the heroes here decide whether you were impartial or not . I’m a believer of fairness, as long as more than half believe so, then your judgment will be upheld . ” Li Qiye was unmoved .

The sword saint turned towards the crowd . They exchanged glances and no one wanted to step up . Even a fool could see his bias for Zhou Ziqing .

They were certainly afraid of offending the two behemoths and didn’t step up for the seven, but this didn’t mean they agreed with his reputation-destroying act either .

The sword saint became red after seeing the lack of support and stood there awkwardly .

“Scram already, stop embarrassing yourself . ”  Li Qiye said flatly .

The guy’s color kept on changing; his expression became very unsightly . He destroyed his own reputation in order to save Ziqing . Who would have thought that it was all for naught?

“Fine, then I have nothing to do with what happens today . ” He left the stage .

“Senior!” Ziqing shouted after seeing the sword saint being forced out .

Alas, the sword saint’s face wasn’t thick enough to continue defending her .

“Put her down . ” Li Qiye ordered .

“Sacred Lord, save me!” She screamed in horror as death approaches .

“Who dares to kill a disciple from Flame Banner Altar?!” A thunderous scowl pricked everyone’s ears .

A middle-aged man slowly walked onto the stage . He had a lofty stature with a stern pair of eyes .

Behind him were numerous fiery banners causing him to be engulfed in a red glow . One could feel the heat coming from him even when far away .

“Flame Banner Sacred Lord . ” Someone immediately recognized him .
