Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, that huge and luxurious flying s.h.i.+p flew above everyone’s heads.
The flying s.h.i.+p lowered slightly and a silhouette flew downwards, landing right in front of Li Moying.
The man had a head full of white hair and he was holding on to a walking stick in his hands as though he was so old that he almost couldn’t walk.
But when Cheng Zhenbo and Feng Bozhong saw him, their expressions changed and bowed slightly as they cried out, “Elder Guo!”
Even Li Moying and Huang Yueli were astonished!
Because this Elder Guo’s name was Guo Zhenqing, someone whom the both of them knew. Fifteen years ago, he was already one of the famous ninth stage realm peak pract.i.tioners from Splendid Violent Heavenly Palace!
This old man’s character was extremely arrogant and they had not expected that he appeared at this place. Could it be that he was here to recruit Li Moying as well?
Li Moying and Huang Yueli exchanged glances as they both had the same helpless thought in their minds: Originally they were thinking of sneaking into the city to grasp the situation of Sky Emperor City first. Whoever knew that…. they had just entered the city and had thoroughly become famous!
This was what’s known as causing a sensation in the martial arts circle, startling a great number of people!
Among the crowd, there were apparently even more people who recognised Guo Zhenqing as their discussions became even louder. Furthermore, even more people now looked at Li Moying as though they were looking at a monster.
“Elder Guo from Splendid Violent Heavenly Palace! Soaring Heavens Continent’s Sky Chart ranking number twelve!”
“This is one of the top exponents behind the scenes in Sky Emperor City who wouldn’t reveal himself easily! He actually came here as well, surely it can’t be that… he’s also here to recruit that what Master Li right?”
“Surely not right…. Impossible right? Elder Guo’s backing is one of the Seven Sacred Lands Splendid Violet Heavenly Palace! Seven Sacred Lands…. Just what kind of place is that? Even if it was a peerless genius with ninth grade talent, he also had to pa.s.s through various a.s.sessments like ordinary pract.i.tioners before he could join them!”
“Unless…. This Master Li is a ninth grade upper talented genius!”
“Hah! What kind of joke is that? Can you even believe the things that you said? Ninth grade upper talent’s genius, in the past one hundred years, there were only two, Mu Chengying and Huang Yueli!”
“But… earlier when that President Cheng praised Master Li, he seemed to have mentioned that his innate talent was comparable to Sovereign Mu!”
“What? How is that possible? Anyway I’m not going to believe in that! Elder Guo must have another motive in his trip here! Splendid Violet Heavenly Palace had never actively recruited any genius before!”
The crowd refused to believe which was understandable.
Seven Sacred Lands were different from ordinary large powerhouses. All of them, without any exception, had ancient inheritances and the number of top exponents under their wings had acc.u.mulated since ten thousand years ago! Just a mere immature genius was commonly seen so how would they even treat him as something?
Plus the Seven Sacred Lands sang their own praises of their statuses, they wouldn’t possibly lower their heads to go beg anyone!
Not to mention Li Moying, who was just a newbie who had just entered Sky Emperor City!
However, different from the surrounding ordinary pract.i.tioners, Cheng Zhenbo and Feng Bozhong were silently anxious because they were very sure that Guo Zhenqing’s motive was ninety nine percent the same as theirs!
Those so-called “peerless” geniuses, in Splendid Violet Heavenly Palace’s eyes, were indeed just like that.
But, Li Moying was different!
Just twenty over years old and had already broken through the ninth stage realm stage, just what kind of innate talent was that? It was a shocking piece of news, which made one frightened to even think carefully along this line!
That year when Mu Chengying broke through to the ninth stage realm, he was almost nearing thirty years old and that had already caused a huge commotion throughout the entire Soaring Heavens Continent!
