God Emperor - Chapter 1016

Chapter 1016: 1016

Cai Jin was filled with fear . If the family head heard about this, many people would be in trouble . The first to be punished would be him as well .

Chi Siyuan put an angry expression onto his ancient face . The more he did so, the more nervous Cai Jin grew . He was afraid that he’d offended the Painter Saint and would attract unpredictable disaster to him .

Seeing how Cai Jin paled, Zhang Ruochen guessed that this man must have a high status in the Cai Family and had met Chu Siyuan before .

Thus, he immediately sent a message to Cai Jin . “The Painter Saint is here on a secret visit to the Cai Family . Everything must be kept low-key . If you make a big deal over it, there will be grave consequences . ”

Cai Jin glanced at Zhang Ruochen gratefully . Anyone who could stand beside the Painter Sect must be a talent of the Painting Sect and must be respected .

Cai Jin put his hands up in greeting to Zhang Ruochen . Then he bowed, making a respectful welcoming gesture . “Please, my two esteemed guests . Please enter . ”

“Hmph!” With a wave of his sleeves, Chu Siyuan strode into the Cai Saint clan .

The other banquet-goers were dumbfounded at this scene . How come the old and young guy hadn’t been kicked out?

Who was Cai Jin? He was the Main Manager of an ancient family and equal to Saints . However, he’d welcomed these two in so respectfully .

Some thought that Cai Jin was doing this to resolve the Cai Family’s awkwardness . When the pair entered the Cai mansion, he would use a subtle method to kill them . Others thought that the pair was powerful enough to make Cai Jin lower his head .

Cai Mingliang couldn’t understand . “Main Manager, how can you let these two unknown thieves in—”

Crack!

Cai Jin slapped Cai Mingliang, sending the man sprawling to the ground with the power of his palm . Cai Mingliang’s head was tilted to the side and blood flowed out of his mouth .

“Main…Main Manager…wh…why…”

Eyes cold, Cai Jin ordered to the golden armored warrior, “Drag him away . ”

If not for this blind guy, he wouldn’t have offended the Painter Saint . Thinking of this, Cai Jin was still worried . He immediately returned to the Cai Saint Mansion and hurried in Zhang Ruochen and Chu Siyuan’s direction .

Now, even Chi Yutang had a serious expression . He felt that Cai Jin’s behavior was very interesting .

With an alluring figure, Wan Huayu laughed and said, “I’m afraid that pair has an unusual identity . ”

Chi Yutang quickly smiled again . “So what? Anyone must learn to bow before the royal family . ”

Chi Yutang climbed onto the carriage pulled by the golden-winged condors and rode into the Cai Saint Mansion with Wan Huayu .

They both had very high statuses and were from Heavenly King Mansions . They also had top talents and appearances, like a dragon and phoenix amongst common men . Everywhere they went, they attracted countless stares . Many people sighed and fawned .

The banquet was set on a spiritual lake . Looking over, one would see pavilions scattered throughout the fog . There was a formation on the surface of the river so the Monks wouldn’t sink when they stepped on it . They would only cause small ripples .

Chi Yutang and Wan Huayu’s arrival caused a stir . Then a group of handsome and beautiful noble youths welcomed them to a small island in the lake .

The river was less than 100 meters wide . It was located in the center of the lake . Graceful music floated above it while pretty servants danced . Only the people with the highest status could qualify to step onto this island .

Zhang Ruochen and Chu Siyuan were at the fringe of the banquet . They found an emerald colored lotus podium and walked onto it . Then they sat down for now .

The lotus podium had nine pieces, forming nine seats . There was a round table at the center of the lotus . Thick Spiritual Qi seeped out of the lotus . The Monks present felt relaxed after taking a breath .

Cai Jin came behind Chu Siyuan and bowed . “Painter Saint,” he apologized . “Please go sit in the area specifically for Saints . What just happened was entirely the fault of the Cai Family’s servants . Please do not mind them . ”

Chu Siyuan sat in his seat, acting like he didn’t care about anything . He ignored Cai Jin with a cold face .

“I will report to the Saint Leader right now . ”

Cai Jin knew his own place . He could talk to some other Saints, but he was far from enough before the Painter Saint . Only the Saint Leader was qualified to speak to him .

“Wait,” Chu Siyuan finally said . “It’s best to keep it a secret that I’m here today . Everything must be low-key . ”

He’d made a big commotion outside the door and found it very embarrassing . He naturally didn’t want others to know that he was the leader of the Painting Sect .

If he could keep it a secret, then he would .

Cai Jin looked at Zhang Ruochen for help . Zhang Ruochen waved his hand . “Main Manager, just go now! The Painter Saint came this time just to see the young talents of the Sacred City . He has no other motives . If you reveal his presence, the students of the Confucius Way will swarm over and go against the wishes of the Painter Saint . ”

Cai Jin bowed to Zhang Ruochen and then retreated wisely .

“Let’s sit here . ”

Just then, a fat man in a red robe and a spiritual-looking old Monk also came to the lotus podium that Zhang Ruochen and Chu Siyuan were at .

“I am Xue Sanyi of the Xue Saint Clan,” the fat man introduced himself with a smile .

However, when he raised his head and saw Zhang Ruochen and Chu Siyuan sitting before him, his expression soured . His smile froze and he rose immediately to leave .

He’d naturally seen Zhang Ruochen and Chu Siyuan offend Chi Yutang of the Lingxiao Heavenly King Mansion earlier at the entrance .

Chi Yutang was known in the Sacred City for being aggressive . He would take revenge for every offense . Anyone who angered him would be in a bad state .

Thus, Xue Sanyi thought that Zhang Ruochen and Chu Siyuan were bad luck . He should stay away from them .

The old Monk grabbed the corner of Xue Sanyi’s robe and tugged him back . “Where are you going? The other places are all full . There aren’t any empty seats at all . ”

Xue Sanyi scanned the surface of the lake and found that there really weren’t any other empty seats . Feeling tragic, he sat back down . He couldn’t stop sighing when faced with these two unlucky stars .

However, the spiritual-looking old Monk started eating and drinking without caring about his image . He looked really embarrassing .

This must be an old scammer here for free food . Xue Sanyi could only sigh as he sat with the two unlucky stars and old scammer . It was so tragic that he wanted to cry .

After a while, another group of young Monks walked over and sat on one of the petals . They were familiar with Xue Sanyi and started chatting . He finally felt a bit better .

“Do you know that the Saint Lady has compiled the newest Half-Saint Rank?” a young scholar in Confucius robes said mysteriously while holding a paper fan .

This scholar wasn’t an ordinary man . His Spiritual Power had reached level 45 . He was already a Spiritual Half-Saint .

“Zhao Heng, your Tianxuan Academy is indeed well-informed . You’ll get the newest Half-Saint Rank as soon as it comes out, right?”

“The Saint Lady is fellow disciples with Senior Uncle Mu of Tianxuan Academy . With this connection, it won’t be hard for me to find out the contents of the Half-Saint Rank . ”

Xue Sanyi’s eyes shone . “How many humans made the list?” he immediately asked .

The scholar chuckled . Tapping his fan against the table, he said, “Because of the nine Heirs, the human race has a much higher advantage . We took up 32 spots in total . The savage beasts of the Savage Barren Territory and overseas took up 58 spots . The native creatures of the various Void Worlds took 12 spots . ”

Zhang Ruochen listened quietly on the side . He paid attention to the Half-Saint Rank .

All of the figures on the Half-Saint Rank were top figures of the world . They were practically the strongest figures below the Saint Realm . Some of them may even be able to defeat a Saint .

Zhang Ruochen currently had a big gap between him and them, but they were his goals .

Even with the Chi Yao’s nine Heirs, Zhang Ruochen thought, the humans of Kunlun’s Field still only took up 32 spots . That’s not even one-third . This isn’t looking good .

The ratio on the Half-Saint Rank could reflect the ratio of all Saintly beings in the entire Kunlun’s Field . This was why the Saint Lady compiled the Half-Saint Rank .

Thankfully, the savage beasts had very serious divisions and conflicts within the different races . Their forces were scattered as well . If they could unify and establish a country, the humans wouldn’t be their match at all .

Of course, the humans were already very strong . They were only one race but already took up 32 spots . It would be a feat for the other races to have at least one being from their race enter the Half-Saint Rank .

“Who is the strongest human below the Saint Realm?” Xue Sanyi asked . “Is it still Kong Hongbi?”

“It’ll definitely be Kong Hongbi,” someone said . “After all, he’s improved a lot more these years, getting higher and higher . ”

“No matter how strong the nine Heirs are, they’ve only entered the ninth level . There’s still a big difference between them and Kong Hongbi . ”

The scholar shook his head and laughed . “You’re all wrong this time! In the newest Half-Saint Rank, Kong Hongbi has dropped to the 34th . ”

The Monks present were all shocked . They couldn’t believe it .

“He dropped down way too much! From seventh to 34th…This…how is this possible?”

“So which human is the highest on the Half-Saint Rank now?” Xue Sanyi asked hurriedly . “Who is number one below the Saint Realm?”
