Heavenly Dao Rankings: I Am Exposed As The Sword God Chapter 107 - Beef

Chapter 107 Beef
Like Li Yu had guessed, everyone in the hall possessed great status.
Other than the Clear Void Holy Lord, Perfected Tai Qing, a few Grand Elders, and a few others, the remaining people were basically the best experts of the current generation of the various top factions. They were the ones with the highest seniority.
For example, the person sitting in the VIP seat was Emperor Tianyun, and beside him were the old emperors of the Myriad Era Dynasty and the Fengtian Dynasty. The others were the sect masters of the various large sects and the ancestors of the top cultivation families in the Huaxia continent.
Even the new Emperor of the Heavenly Fate Dynasty, Emperor Hengyun, and the Holy Son of the Clear Void Holy Land, Zhou Yu, could only stand to the side and watch.
Therefore, the Clear Void Holy Land leaving a seat for Li Yu and inviting him to dine with the various factions’ ancestors and the Living Stone was definitely giving him enough face.
Of course, this was also because Li Yu was the one who spoke the Great Dao mantras, and he was worthy of the respect of these older generations.
“Alright, since everyone is here, the banquet shall begin officially!” Perfected Taiqing smiled.
Subsequently, a group of female disciples from the Clear Void Holy Land began to serve wine and dishes to the guests.
Meanwhile, Perfected Taiqing continued, “Young Friend Li Yu, it’s our first time meeting. You might not be familiar with everyone here, so let me introduce you!”

“Thank you!” Li Yu cupped his hands.
Perfected Taiqing smiled and began introducing the big shots. “This is the unprecedented legendary Emperor of the Heavenly Fate Dynasty, Emperor Tianyun. He’s also one of the ten peak Mahayana Realm experts of our human race!” After hearing Perfected Tai Qing’s introduction, Li Yu looked at the old man sitting in the VIP seat expressionlessly.
He remembered that was the old fellow who wanted to snatch Gu Yuqi’s Ancient God Body and hired an assassin from the Asura Hall.
The old man did look like a sage, but he did not expect him to be so evil.
After Li Yu told Li Qingyun about this Mo Wuhui, Li Qingyun speculated that it was definitely related to the Heavenly Fate Emperor. Li Qingyun had heard of Mo Wuhui, the top killer of the Asura Hall. Few could hire him.
Therefore, Li Yu did not have a good impression of Emperor Tianyun.
“Oh, so it’s Emperor Tianyun. Indeed, meeting in person is not as good as knowing through your reputation!” Li Yu remarked with a cold smile.
Everyone’s expression changed as they looked at Li Yu in confusion.
Did Li Yu use the wrong word?
He was someone who spoke the truths of the Great Dao. How could he make a mistake on such a simple thing?
Is this his first time meeting so many big shots that got him flurried? But he did not seem nervous at all.
His expression and tone were clearly intentional.
Li Yu actually said that Emperor Tianyun’s reputation precedes him? Is this kid crazy?
That was the current top human expert, the mighty Emperor Tianyun. He was a person that even the Clear Void Holy Land’s Grand Elder and Holy Lord had to respect.
And why did he say that about Emperor Tianyun? Maybe there was some sort of grudge between them? Logically speaking, they did not have any interaction before. Li Qingyun, on the other hand, had a grudge against the Clear Void Holy Land.
Perhaps he deliberately spoke rudely to ruin the Clear Void Holy Land’s banquet and embarrass Perfected Taiqing?
Everyone in the hall was about to have their heads burn as they imagined all kinds of absurd possibilities.
“Haha, I believe you are saying hearing the reputation is not as good as meeting in person, my young friend Li Yu!” Perfected Taiqing laughed dryly and tried to smooth things over.
However, he felt apprehensive. He did not expect Li Yu to be so direct.
He actually dared to insult Emperor Tianyun. As expected of Li Qingyun’s son, he’s really similar in this aspect. He’s simply someone who’s not afraid of even the heavens.
In fact, Perfected Taiqing was an understanding person. Perhaps others might not know, but he could more or less guess it. Li Yu should be hostile to Emperor Tianyun because of Gu Yuqi.
After Gu Yuqi’s Ancient God Body entered the Heavenly Dao Rankings, his sect was destroyed, and his whereabouts were unknown.
Although no one knew who did it, Perfected Taiqing had some speculations.
Hearing Li Yu’s words, he was more confident in his guess. Moreover, Perfected Taiqing sensed a trace of hostility, although Emperor Tianyun did not speak much when everyone was talking about Li Yu not long ago.
“Hahaha, that’s right. Our young friend Li Yu should be saying the opposite!” The elders of the Clear Void Holy Land hurriedly tried smoothing things over.
Li Yu did not explain further as a form of respect for Perfected Taiqing. After all, he should not mess with the other party’s hospitality.
Emperor Tianyun did not speak. No one could tell if he was happy or angry. He only gave Li Yu a meaningful look.
He was aware that Li Yu had said that on purpose, and he was intensely displeased inside. No one ever dared to speak to him in this manner before, and it was even done in public. The kid was simply fearless. If not for the fact that he did not want to lose the disposition of a great emperor, he would probably teach this brat a lesson personally.
He wanted to let him know that topping the Sons of Heaven Rankings did not equate to becoming the world’s best.
He wanted to let this frog in the well know what a true expert was.
In fact, Emperor Tianyun had guessed that Li Yu must have known about his plan to snatch Gu Yuqi’s physique.
However, he could not bother about it. This time, he must obtain Gu Yuqi’s body in the Lingtian Mystic Realm. The victor was king, and the losers were bandits. History was written by the victor.
Perfected Taiqing hurriedly changed the topic and introduced the next person.
After that, Li Yu greeted each and every one of them. His tone was calm, and he spoke appropriately.
This confirmed everyone’s suspicions that Li Yu was not here to mess around. And he was only targeting Emperor Tianyun.
It was clear that they had beef. It was no wonder that Emperor Tianyun had always said that he wanted his grandson, Emperor Hengyun, to spar with Li Yu and test his cultivation level.
They did not expect such a big secret to be hidden at this banquet. It was truly unexpected.
“Li Yu is too awesome. He just dared to ridicule Emperor Tianyun in public. My word, I’m breaking out in a cold sweat!”
“Senior Brother, do you know what feud Emperor Tianyun has with Li Yu?”
“No idea. I’m confused too!”
Zhou Yu, Duan Tianming, and the rest of the Nine Orders of the Clear Void Holy Land whispered quietly with their divine senses.
“Li Yu sure is the number one prodigy. He doesn’t even put Emperor Tianyun in his eyes. I’m impressed by his boldness!”
“Why do I feel that Li Yu is a little rash? Offending Emperor Tianyun in public is not a wise move. He’s a top human expert in strength and influence, so Li Yu shouldn’t offend such an expert!”
“Hmph, so what? Li Yu’s cultivation is probably at least in the early stage of the Mahayana Realm or even higher. It might not be long before he’s on par with Emperor Tianyun. What’s there for him to be afraid of?” “He’s right. If Emperor Tianyun really had a grudge against Li Yu, I believe that even if Li Yu hadn’t said those just now, Emperor Tianyun wouldn’t have left in peace. Didn’t he mention that he wanted Emperor Hengyun to spar with Li Yu?”
“So that’s how it is. I thought Li Yu was just joking!” “Just wait and see. The show has only just begun!”
Duan Tianming and the others were excited to watch the show.
After Perfected Taiqing introduced everyone, the banquet officially began. However, because of the incident between Li Yu and Emperor Tianyun, the atmosphere in the hall became strange.
Everyone had mixed feelings.
The various powers had planned to seize this opportunity to make friends with Li Yu.
However, because of the conflict between Li Yu and Emperor Tianyun, they were conflicted.
If they acted too close to Li Yu, they were afraid that Emperor Tianyun would be unhappy. Yet if they ignored Li Yu completely, they would feel that they had wasted this golden opportunity.
After all, Li Yu was the person who spoke the mantras of the Great Dao. He was obviously the son of the heavens, and his future was limitless.
One was an old emperor with absolute power, while one was a new emperor with limitless potential.
They needed to choose sides between the two, so they were indeed conflicted.
After some time, the banquet was almost over. Emperor Tianyun gave a look at the old man diagonally across him.
The old man understood tacitly, and he immediately grinned as he asked, “Young Friend Li Yu, I wonder what cultivation realm you’re at now. We are all curious about the “unknown’ written on the Heavenly Dao Rankings!”
“That’s right. Maybe our young friend Li Yu cultivates a unique cultivation system entirely different from ours?” Someone hurriedly echoed.
Of course, this was a question that everyone was curious about, so everyone looked at Li Yu, who was eating scrumptiously with great satisfaction.
“Mm, I guess so. It’s a cultivation system I created myself. I don’t know what realm I’m in either!” Li Yu replied casually while eating.
