Chapter 773

Fight for the Marquis

The plaza instantly became much quieter. Not only was Zhuo Wen stunned, but the others in the plaza were also stunned.

The Lotus Emperor's words were very clear. Zhuowen and Grand Haohai could cancel the engagement, but they could forget about the letter of divorce. In other words, the Lotus Emperor agreed with Grand Haohai's point of view.

Obviously, the Lotus Emperor was siding with Grand Haohai and even had the intention of shielding him.

"Your Majesty, did you not hear my words clearly? The letter of divorce was personally set by Grand Haohai and Big Brother Lü Hantian. It's definitely not fake." Zhuowen stepped forward and stared at the Lotus Emperor.

"Zhuowen is right. That old bastard Grand Haohai personally made this agreement in front of me. I believe that Your Majesty is a fair and just person." Lü Hantian also spoke.

Grand Haohai's eyes flickered and a smile appeared on his face. He said, "Your Majesty, these two people are both from Muqin County. Moreover, they call each other brothers. It's too easy to spread false information. I believe that Your Majesty is a wise person and will not be deceived by these two despicable people."

Zhuowen and Lü Hantian immediately frowned when they heard Grand Haohai's words. Grand Haohai was actually so shamelessly denying it at this juncture.

The Lotus Emperor nodded and stared at Zhuowen. He said, "Grand Haohai's words are not without reason. After all, this agreement came from the two of you. It's not very trustworthy!

If there are others who can testify, I will believe you. "

Zhuowen and Lü Hantian were speechless when they heard that. Only the Zhuo Family and the Grand Haohai's family knew about this agreement.

Needless to say, the Grand Haohai's family would never admit to this matter. On the other hand, the Zhuo Family should be of the same clan. It was not convincing enough. Zhuowen really couldn't find anyone else who could testify for him.

"Hehe!

Your Majesty Emperor Qing, you've also seen it. This is simply a bunch of nonsense from Zhuo Wen!

This kid is full of nonsense and actually wants to damage our Grand Family's reputation. It's truly hateful to the extreme. "

"As the Patriarch of the Grant family, this old man wishes to request Your Majesty to allow this old man to go up and teach this kid a lesson!"

Glan Haohai stared coldly at Zhuowen as he cupped his hands toward the Azure Supreme Thearch. He actually wanted to take the initiative to teach Zhuowen a lesson.

Zhuo Wen's gaze turned even colder. Grand Haohai was a disrespectful old man. First, he broke the agreement and threw it to the back of his mind. Now, he even shamelessly volunteered to teach Zhuo Wen a lesson.

The extent of Grant Haohai's shamelessness was practically an eye-opener for Zhuowen!

Zhuowen knew very well that if the Azure Supreme Thearch really allowed Grant Haohai to teach him a lesson, this old man would probably kill him. At that time, Zhuowen would be doomed.

After all, Grant Haohai was a Golden Venerate. Although Zhuowen had the combat power of the Xuanzun Realm, there was an insurmountable gap between him and a Golden Venerate.

If the two of them were to fight, Zhuowen would undoubtedly be defeated and might even fall into a dead end.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Everyone's gaze gathered on the Azure Supreme Thearch. They knew that the Azure Supreme Thearch had the final say.

In the eyes of most people, Grant Haohai's request was already too much. They didn't know if the Azure Supreme Thearch would agree to Grant Haohai's somewhat rude request.

The Azure Supreme Thearch faintly glanced at Grant Haohai. After pondering for a while, he said, "No need!

Private fights are not allowed in the Throne Room. This Supreme Thearch has already stated this rule. Don't make me repeat it again. "

"Yes!

Your Majesty, this old man has been negligent! "

Grant Haohai said respectfully. There was a hint of disappointment on his face. If the Azure Supreme Thearch had agreed to let him teach Zhuowen a lesson, he was 655% confident that he would have been able to completely cripple Zhuowen.

"Your Majesty, Grant Haohai is simply spouting nonsense. You have to investigate the truth before making a decision."

Lü Hantian suddenly stepped forward. Just as he was about to say something, the Azure Supreme Thearch stared indifferently at Lü Hantian and said indifferently, "Do I still need you to teach me?"

Lü Hantian couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. He immediately stopped speaking. He knew very well that the Azure Supreme Thearch was the supreme Thearch. His words were the rules and couldn't be questioned.

Lü Hantian was a martialist that the Azure Supreme Thearch thought highly of. Hence, the Azure Supreme Thearch didn't flare up even though the former had repeatedly objected. If it had been anyone else who had contradicted the Azure Supreme Thearch, they would have already died without a burial ground.

Zhuowen didn't say anything. Instead, he fell into a rare silence. He knew very well that since the Azure Supreme Thearch had spoken, no matter how much he objected, it would be useless.

However, Zhuowen wouldn't let it go just like that. Whether it was the issue of the letter of divorce or the encirclement and assassination last night, Zhuowen had already sentenced the Grant Family to death in his heart.

"Since Zhuowen has won this round, then this Marquis Conferral Battle is over!

Grant Haohai is ranked third on the Azure Supreme Thearch List and has been conferred the title of Marquis. "

Suddenly, Emperor Qing, who was standing at the top of the high platform, spoke loudly. He waved his sleeve, and a golden token flew out and landed in Grand Lily's hand. On the surface of the token, the word "Human" was engraved, representing the identity of the Human Marquis.

Many people around the plaza looked at the golden token in Grant Haohai's hand with a fervent look in their eyes.

The three Marquises of Heaven, Earth, and Man were the most powerful of all the Marquises. Whether it was in terms of territory or military strength, they were far more powerful than the average Marquis.

A single Marquis could control a thousand Royal Soldiers, which meant a thousand well-trained Ultimate Emperor Realm soldiers. This was a huge force that could crush any city. Even a super city wouldn't be able to stop such an elite force.

Grant Haohai stroked her jade-like hand and expressionlessly took the token. She was in no mood for anything else after her great defeat at the hands of Zhuowen. She seemed to be in a daze.

"This is the Marquis Token. With the Marquis Token in hand, you can go to the Ultimate Emperor Army of the Royal City and lead a thousand soldiers. These thousand Royal Soldiers will be your personal army and will all be under your control," the Azure Supreme Thearch said indifferently.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Glen Haohai hurriedly bowed, a trace of excitement on his face. That was a thousand Ultimate Emperor Realm soldiers! It would be of great benefit to the Glen family.

"Zhuowen defeated Grant Haohai and is ranked second on the Azure Emperor Leaderboard. Huangfu Wudao is ranked first on the Azure Emperor Leaderboard.

There shouldn't be any objections to this emperor's arrangement, right? "

After saying that, the Azure Emperor looked around. His indifferent voice slowly rang out, echoing clearly in everyone's ears.

Everyone in the plaza nodded. They didn't feel that there was anything wrong. Although Zhuowen hadn't truly faced off against Huangfu Wudao, they all knew that the final result would undoubtedly be Zhuowen's defeat.

After all, Huangfu Wudao's strength had long been deeply ingrained in everyone's hearts. In addition, Huangfu Wudao had already advanced to the Xuanzun Realm. His strength was much more terrifying than before.

Therefore, although Zhuowen's performance was extremely stunning, everyone still didn't think that Zhuowen had the strength to fight Huangfu Wudao.

There were even some people who guessed that the Azure Supreme Thearch's actions were for Zhuowen's sake. After all, every time Huangfu Wudao made a move, he would either die or be injured.

Zhuowen's talent and potential were both top-notch. If he faced off against Huangfu Wudao, it was very likely that there would be casualties. This was probably not something that the Azure Supreme Thearch wanted to see. Therefore, the Azure Supreme Thearch didn't intend to arrange for Zhuowen to fight with Huangfu Wudao.

After all, these two remaining geniuses could be considered as true peerless monsters. Losing one of them would be a great loss to the Empire!

Zhuowen's pupils had indeed shrunk slightly. The Azure Supreme Thearch was too certain. Could it be that he was certain that he, Zhuowen, would lose to Huangfu Wudao? After all, they hadn't even fought yet!

On the open ground, Huangfu Wudao slowly opened his eyes and glanced indifferently at Zhuowen. He said in a low voice, "This kid's luck isn't bad. His Majesty, the Azure Supreme Thearch, actually made such a relatively harmonious decision."

As he spoke, Huangfu Wudao slowly walked up the high platform and didn't pay any attention to Zhuowen at all. Instead, he walked towards the Azure Supreme Thearch to receive the Heavenly Marquis Token bestowed by the Azure Supreme Thearch.

At this moment, two similarly dazzling tokens floated silently above the Azure Supreme Thearch's palm. One of them had the word 'Earth' written on it, and the other had the word 'Heaven' written on it. They represented the Heavenly Marquis and the Earthly Marquis respectively.

In the end, Huangfu Wudao stopped before the Azure Supreme Thearch and revealed a wisp of a smile as he looked at the golden token in the Azure Supreme Thearch's hand. He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your reward, Your Majesty."

As soon as he finished speaking, he stretched out his right hand with the intention of taking the token.

Swoosh!

The sound of something tearing through the air suddenly swept over, causing Huangfu Wudao's right hand to stiffen. A cold light flickered in his eyes as he turned his right hand and blasted it in the direction of the sound.

Rumble!

A strand of force instantly emerged from Huangfu Wudao's body, and the ground beneath his feet was even shattered into countless pieces under the impact of the enormous force. Huangfu Wudao was like a boulder that didn't budge at all.

At the same time, Huangfu Wudao noticed that the thing that tore through the air was actually a bone spear that flickered with a cold light. At this moment, the tip of the bone spear was pressed against the force at the center of his palm, and it was constantly spinning like a high-speed propeller.

"Hmm?

Zhuowen?

What's the meaning of this? "

With a wave of his right hand, Huangfu Wudao very casually slapped the bone spear away, and then he raised his head and looked at Zhuowen who was on the arena as he spoke word by word with a voice that was bone-piercingly cold.

"Nothing?

As far as I'm concerned, you don't necessarily have the qualifications to take the Heavenly Marquis Token. Perhaps the Earthly Marquis Token beside the Heavenly Marquis Token is more suitable for you. "

In the arena, Zhuowen waved his right hand and the bone spear that Huangfu Wudao had slapped away immediately flew back to him. He held it in his hand as he stared coldly at Huangfu Wudao.

The brief exchange between the two was naturally witnessed by countless people. In particular, when they saw that Zhuo Wen had actually stepped in to stop Huangfu Wudao from obtaining the Heavenly Marquis' token, many people revealed strange looks in their eyes.

Light flashed in Great Emperor Qing's eyes as he furrowed his brows. Great Emperor Qing's words were the rules, but Zhuo Wen had rebutted him time and time again. Great Emperor Qing was furious with Zhuo Wen.
