Chapter 394: The Consequences of Enraging a Treasure
Among the forces present, there were quite a few with substantial wealth and extensive experience. They were not as strong as the Central Plains Dynasty, but they were not much weaker either.
How could they not recognize the "Tai Ming Emperor Flag," the natal treasure of Emperor Tai Ming?
But everyone knows that the Zhongzhou Dynasty claims to be the "descendants" of Emperor Taiming. To them, this thing is actually the property of their "ancestors" and they would never give it to outsiders. Anyone who dares to snatch it will be severely beaten by them.
But it's one thing if no one tries to take it from them, but it's quite another if the treasure itself is rejecting Xuan Yuansheng's contact.
The "descendants" want to take away the treasures of the "ancestors," but the treasures themselves do not recognize these so-called "descendants" at all... This situation makes people want to laugh, but no one will actually laugh out loud.
After all, seeing Xuan Yuansheng scramble to his feet in a disheveled state, his face turning a deep shade of liver from anger and anxiety, if he were to burst out laughing, he would likely incur the wrath of the authorities.
They've completely lost face.
But laughing out loud is not allowed, but laughing secretly is fine.
"Hahaha, Xuanyuan Sheng actually failed, he deserved it."
"Exactly. Look at the Central Plains Dynasty, they always boast that they are descendants of Emperor Taiming, but now they can't even touch Emperor Taiming's treasures."
"Serves him right, this is called shooting yourself in the foot, hahaha..."
Many high-ranking elders from various sects secretly chuckled. Although the Central Continent Dynasty usually had no conflicts with them, seeing such a spectacle, it would be a disservice to their brilliant performance not to secretly rejoice. Those independent cultivators without powerful backers were even more delighted.
Seeing Xuan Yuansheng's disheveled appearance, they felt that the fun had only grown stronger.
"That bastard!"
Xuanyuan Sheng got up, his hair disheveled. He took a deep breath to suppress his anger and cursed under his breath.
Unexpectedly, the Taiming Emperor's flag resisted his touch, even provoking its own rebellion!
Everyone present has witnessed this scene: the "descendants" intend to reclaim the treasure that rightfully belongs to them, the treasure of their "ancestors," but this treasure has instead generated immense hostility towards them, even driving them away...
How is this going?
Could it be that the royal family of Zhongzhou is really not his descendant?
"Your Highness, what should we do now?" A royal retainer stepped forward and asked cautiously. It was clear that they couldn't take the Taiming Emperor Banner away. How could they force this celestial treasure to go with them?
Can't do it.
"Shut up, let me think about it first."
Xuanyuan Sheng glared fiercely at the golden banner. He said he wanted to, but he couldn't really think of anything. If the celestial treasure rejected them, then it was as if they had no chance.
This was the situation he least wanted to see: the Central Plains Dynasty couldn't obtain Emperor Taiming's treasure, and others seemed to still be somewhat wary of them, not making a move easily. But if they waited a little longer, they might not be so tolerant anymore. If no one could obtain it, then things would be fine.
But if someone actually manages to get it...
The Central Plains Dynasty's face was slapped hard.
Xuanyuan Sheng had no choice. Even though the Central Continent Dynasty was strong enough, none of the extraordinary forces present would really back down from them. This had nothing to do with seizing the treasure; rather, the Central Continent Dynasty had been rejected by the treasure and could not obtain it no matter what.
So in the end, no one will give them any face anymore.
As expected, after waiting for about a quarter of an hour, some rogue cultivators couldn't hold back any longer and rushed towards the Taiming Emperor's Banner.
"this is mine!"
"Bullshit! You, a mere peasant, dare to possess such a treasure that only the emperor is entitled to? Get out of my way!"
"Anyone who dares to contest this item, don't blame me for turning my back on them!"
"Humph!"
Rumbling--
In an instant, a group of people started fighting, swords clashing and sparks flying.
Xuanyuan Sheng's face grew increasingly gloomy and unpleasant.
He couldn't just stand in front of the stone platform and declare that anyone who dared to take the flag would be going against the Central Plains Dynasty. That would be too risky, and besides, not many people present would actually be afraid of the Central Plains Dynasty.
Moreover, with such a masterpiece before them, and the Myriad Swords Immortal Sect having just made some harsh remarks, others had a simple idea: since the sword hadn't fallen into their hands, they might as well recruit the person who obtained the immortal sword and make them their chief disciple, which would be equivalent to the Myriad Swords Immortal Sect obtaining an immortal treasure.
But what could the Central Plains Dynasty do?
Could it be that they would recognize the person who obtained the Taiming Emperor's banner as a member of their Central Plains royal family who had been separated from their clan?
That would be even more ridiculous.
Now, Xuanyuan Sheng can only hope that none of the people present will be able to obtain the Taiming Emperor's Banner.
Finally, a rogue cultivator fought his way out of the encirclement and arrived in front of the stone platform, reaching out to the Taiming Emperor's Banner!
"this is mine!"
As he approached, a look of wild joy appeared on his face. The Taiming Imperial Flag sensed his presence and trembled slightly, emitting a soft, pale golden light. As this soft light shone, the rogue cultivator met the same fate as Xuan Yuansheng.
He was blasted away.
After Xuanyuan Sheng, the first challenger failed, but soon, more than a dozen people broke through the encirclement and rushed up!
"Haha, come to Grandpa's!"
"Come to my place!"
"Get lost, this is mine!"
"Om-"
However, at this moment, the radiance on the Taiming Emperor's banner became even more intense and dazzling, and strands of pale golden light descended, enveloping these people, and the people who were still fighting suddenly stopped.
Everyone was stunned. The Taiming Emperor's flag seemed to be startled, shaking violently, and a visible wave of light rippled outwards, pushing everyone around it back.
"Pfft!"
A series of coughing sounds rang out, and everyone was horrified, staring in astonishment at the scene before them. The once majestic and sacred Taiming Emperor Banner suddenly shone brightly and unleashed a rain of arrows that shot out in all directions.
There were over a hundred beams of light, each one incredibly powerful. The experts at the forefront, including those in the Nascent Soul and Integration stages, were instantly killed!
A burst of brilliant, firework-like blood mist rose into the air.
Some who were a little further away simply retreated. Although they were also injured, at least they didn't die like those who were the first to stick their necks out. However, they were still shaken, since they had come so close to death.
Silence fell.
