Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 484: Wait a moment!
```
Whoo!
Whoo!
Whoo!
The cold wind howled as lightning flashed and thunder roared.
At this moment, the summit of Imperial Dragon Mountain seemed as if a giant demon was undergoing its tribulation, the terrifying might of the heavens filling the space between earth and sky.
Yang Yuhuan's eyebrows knotted tightly, having not anticipated that Xue Xiong, who had consistently held the upper hand, would actually be defeated.
And defeated so quickly at that.
"Uncle Emperor, it seems that my judgment of people is more accurate after all! While the young do have their disadvantages, youth also means being full of possibilities. Sometimes, when one gets old, one must accept it and give young people more opportunities!" Emperor Qian said with a smile, his eyes narrowed.
Hmph!
Yang Yuhuan let out a cold snort, his face turning extremely ugly.
Emperor Qian's words were a clear innuendo: he was not only referring to Xiao Yi's victory over Xue Xiong but also hinting that Yang Yuhuan should accept his old age and consider retiring.
Now it was the time for the young, and he shouldn't interfere anymore!
These words only served to fuel the fire of anger in Yang Yuhuan's heart. Seeing Emperor Qian's smug look only added to his irritation, and he coldly retorted, "It was merely luck!"
"Luck?"
Emperor Qian was momentarily taken aback before he chuckled, "Do you know why he is able to command the power of wind and thunder? That's because he possesses the Wind Thunder Holy Body, which can rival the top ten Sacred Bodies in legends!"
Weng!
Yang Yuhuan's face changed drastically, "Wind Thunder Holy Body? Impossible, the Wind Thunder Holy Body can only be found in that place. He is nothing but a discarded child of the Xiao Family, how could he possibly be the Wind Thunder Holy Body? It must be that he had dog's luck and stumbled upon the cultivation method for the Wind Thunder Holy Body, it must be the case..."
Wind Thunder Holy Body.
The only special physique that can be cultivated through acquired practice and can rival the Battle War Holy Body and others.
Its cultivation method is exclusive to a mysterious race and is never passed on to outsiders. In Yang Yuhuan's opinion, the only possibility was that Xiao Yi had dog's luck and happened upon the cultivation method by chance.
It was all just good luck!
Emperor Qian shook his head, "Just good luck? Uncle, if acquiring the Wind Thunder Holy Body's cultivation method was luck, then what about his ability to traverse roads in three short years that others couldn't cross in their entire lifetime, breaking through from mere flesh to a state capable of contending with nirvana—is that also just luck?"
"What does it matter if his cultivation progress is fast? There have been similar existences in history. Take Xue Dingpeng from the Nantian Dynasty, for example—he received inheritance from a super powerhouse, and achieved the Dharma Manifestation Realm before the age of twenty."
Yang Yuhuan rebutted nonchalantly.
Emperor Qian continued, "If surpassing Xiao Tianjiao, the recognized number one genius of the Great Qian Dynasty, in terms of cultivation speed is also luck, then how about his ability to bring the decrepit Xiaoshanhe Institute, within less than a year, to a level where it could rival the top ten sects—is that luck too?"
Yang Yuhuan's face changed again, as if he'd been slapped several times in quick succession, but it was impossible for him to concede at that moment, so he stubbornly said, "Xiaoshanhe Institute's status today is due to his acquaintance with Huang Baitao from Beast Emperor City... "
Emperor Qian watched all of this, his face showing no mockery but rather said seriously, "Alright, the rise of Xiaoshanhe Institute indeed has something to do with Beast Emperor City. Then what about his casual effort that allowed the Ice Snow Phoenix to break through six ranks and advance to the Seventh Rank Beast Emperor's realm—is that luck too?"
"This..."
Yang Yuhuan's face stiffened, and he was at a loss for words.
Even the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, known for its beast taming, had struggled for years to achieve such a feat, and if he continued to attribute it to luck, it would be shameless.
Emperor Qian, however, had no plans to let him off, continuing, "Even if all of this was luck, do you know that he passed all the tests of the Yin Yang Five Elements Tower in the Dongfang Family's forbidden land?"
Boom!
If what Emperor Qian had said before still left Yang Yuhuan with some doubts about Xiao Yi,
Then at this moment...
He was utterly shocked.
The Yin Yang Five Elements Tower of the Dongfang Family signified seven completely different paths.
Even the former Tianjiao of the Xiao Family, hailed as the Great Qian Dynasty's top talent, had managed to pass only five of them.
Xiao Yi had actually passed all seven towers of the Yin Yang Five Elements.
"How, how is that possible? Passing all the towers of the Yin Yang Five Elements, doesn't that mean a legendary all-attribute physique?" Yang Yuhuan swallowed hard, his face a mask of shock and disbelief.
Emperor Qian nodded but did not ridicule Yang Yuhuan's discomposure.

When he first learned of all this, he was even more shocked than Yang Yuhuan.
He had even decided that once Xiao Yi returned from the glacier, he would announce his decision to appoint him as a national pillar.
But...
Before Xiao Yi could return, Yang Kun came back first.
Yang Kun told Emperor Qian about everything that had happened on the glacier, especially when he heard that Xiao Yi had nearly killed Yang Kun for the sake of a group of commoners on the ice field. This made Emperor Qian hesitate, and even foster suspicions and wariness towards Xiao Yi.
Any emperor would not allow the existence of anyone or any force that disrespects royal authority under his rule.
That was what led to the subsequent scene where Emperor Qian shielded Yang Kun and suppressed Xiao Yi.
Yang Yuhuan remained silent.
The information revealed to him by Emperor Qian was too much, too shocking, leaving him unable to accept it all at once.
```
This is like the richest man in a village who has always looked down upon his neighbor, thinking the neighbor is just a hired hand.
Until one day...
The richest man in town tells him that the neighbor is actually much wealthier than he is.
The disparity was simply too vast!
The once scorned ant had transformed into an Azure Dragon overnight, how could one remain calm?
The conversation between the two was not overheard by others; it was a secret communication through their consciousness and happened in just a moment.
Standing on the altar, Xiao Yi, like a god or a demon, stood with his sword, his face expressionless as he watched the crowd.
He particularly paused over figures such as Yang Kun, Xiao Zhengde, and the Huihai Sword Master, his lips curling slightly upwards as he slowly spoke, "Who dares to fight me?"
Above and below the altar, there was dead silence.
A host of powerful individuals looked at each other in dismay.
Yang Kun's face was gloomy as he coldly said, "Xu Yao, you get up there!"
True Martial Hall's Xu Yao clutched his stomach, a pained expression on his face: "Your Highness, I'm so sorry, I have a stomachache and can't fight!"
"You..."
Yang Kun's face was a ghastly palette of green and white; he could see Xu Yao was faking, but as Xu Yao was only there to represent True Martial Hall's support of him, Yang Kun could not command him.
Amidst changing expressions...
Yang Kun coldly shouted, "Zhang Guo, do not forget what you promised me, that you would support me with all your strength..."
"Of course, my Three Seas Mountain will definitely support Your Highness! Let me take care of Xiao Yi!"
Zhang Guo's cultivation level was on par with that of Xue Xiong, being an elder of the Three Seas Mountain with unparalleled combat power. He strode toward the altar with his head held high.
Yang Kun breathed a sigh of relief, his cold sneer unrelenting, "Xiao Yi, did you think my followers truly had no one who could deal with you? Zhang Guo is..."
He did not finish speaking.
All of a sudden, Zhang Guo let out a yelp of pain, and with a thud, he fell flat on his face right in front of the altar. Clutching his leg, he cried out, "Someone help, I've broken my leg, quickly help me down..."
Yang Kun: "..."
Huihai Sword Master: "..."
Everyone: "..."
Dammit!
This is the Dharma Phase Realm Peak, for heaven's sake!
How could one possibly fall and break a leg on flat ground? Who are you trying to fool?
But Yang Kun had no choice!
He couldn't just expose the charade and destroy the hard-earned relationship with Three Seas Mountain, could he?
Soon, Zhang Guo was carried in front of him, and with a mournful face, he said, "Your Highness, I'm truly sorry! My unlucky leg, why did it have to break at this time, otherwise, I definitely could have fought for you, crushing Xiao Yi underfoot, and shown him how foolish it is to offend you..."
While speaking, Zhang Guo wiped away a tear.
"..."
Yang Kun shook with fury, wishing he could really break Zhang Guo's leg, suppressing the urge to commit murder as he nodded and said, "I appreciate your willingness, go and recuperate!"
"Alas, that's the only option!" Zhang Guo secretly sighed with relief, his face portraying pain and disappointment.
Yang Kun's gaze swept over the others.
Each of them avoided eye contact, with heads bowed or gazes darting around, but steadfastly not looking at him.
The Huihai Sword Master let out a long sigh, saying, "Give up! They are already scared witless by Xiao Yi..."
From Xiao Yi's entrance until now, all who had faced him in combat had fallen, none spared.
Under such circumstances, who would dare to make a move?
"This is unacceptable…"
Yang Kun looked utterly hopeless.
He had made thorough preparations, how much effort had he put in for this day!
But now...
Everything was over.
Atop the altar...
Xiao Yi's lips curled slightly, but he did not look at Yang Kun and the others, whose faces seemed to have been slapped dozens of times; instead, he turned to Emperor Qian, "Your Majesty, it seems no one dares to step forward!"
Emperor Qian hummed in response, speaking indifferently, "I declare, the victor of this Martial Sacrifice Hall is..."
But just at this moment...
An untimely voice suddenly rang out, "Wait a minute..."
