Open up and break into another world

"Hmm?" Huang Gu Guang couldn't help but feel puzzled. "Who are they?"

Envoy Qiong Yi quickly explained, "One is the ruler of the Sword Song Chaos Kingdom, and the other is a genius who wanted to participate in the Myriad Domains Genius Battle; however, I didn't select him! But for some reason, they actually ran to the Land of Origin and even came to our Azure Sky Gate!"

"Oh…" Huang Gu Guang's interest waned after listening. "A genius from a small place like the Sword Song Chaos Kingdom! Since he wasn't selected for the Myriad Domains Genius Battle, then quickly kick him out and don't let him come to our Azure Sky Gate!"

"Yes!" Envoy Qiong Yi responded and was about to step forward to drive Xu Ming away. "Get lost!"

Xu Ming said calmly, "I have business at the Azure Sky Gate! Someone asked me to come to the Azure Sky Gate!"

"Heh!" Envoy Qiong Yi sneered disdainfully, "You have business at the Azure Sky Gate? Someone like you dares to come to the Azure Sky Gate? Furthermore, I'm telling you to get lost, so get lost! It doesn't matter who asked you to come to the Azure Sky Gate!"

Xu Ming didn't have time to speak again.

"Does it not matter even if I asked him to come?" Suddenly, Elder Tian Jing's voice echoed in the surrounding void.

Envoy Qiong Yi trembled all over — of course, he could tell that it was Elder Tian Jing's voice.

In the next instant, Elder Tian Jing's figure appeared nearby. Although it was just a divine sense projection, it scared Envoy Qiong Yi so much that he almost wet himself. He quickly bowed and saluted, "Elder Tian Jing!"

Envoy Qiong Yi was about to cry; he never imagined that Elder Tian Jing would be the one who asked Xu Ming to come. Moreover, he couldn't understand what was so special about Xu Ming that he could attract Elder Tian Jing's attention?

At this moment, Envoy Qiong Yi's heart was filled with regret! If he had known earlier that Xu Ming had a relationship with Elder Tian Jing, then even if Envoy Qiong Yi had a hundred times the courage, he wouldn't have dared to frame Xu Ming!

This wasn't "framing"; it was simply digging a pit to bury himself!

Envoy Qiong Yi wanted to say something to ease his relationship with Xu Ming, but for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

"Qiong Yi!" Elder Tian Jing's indifferent voice sounded, "I just heard you say that Xu Ming wanted to participate in the Myriad Domains Genius Battle, but you didn't select him? Tell me, why didn't you select him?"

Envoy Qiong Yi's heart trembled again.

The most important reason why he didn't let Xu Ming participate in the Myriad Domains Genius Battle was, of course, because he had framed Xu Ming. He was afraid that Xu Ming would seek revenge after he grew stronger, so he suppressed Xu Ming.

But now, could he tell the truth?

Of course not!

Envoy Qiong Yi was sure that if he told the truth, he would probably be slapped to death by Elder Tian Jing in the next instant! An existence like him in the Myriad Manifestations Realm, although he could swagger and show off after going to the Sword Song Chaos Kingdom, was actually at the bottom of the Azure Sky Gate and was nothing! Elder Tian Jing didn't even need a reason to kill him!

Since he couldn't tell the truth, he had to lie!

"I hope I can muddle through!" Envoy Qiong Yi's heart pounded — he knew that Elder Tian Jing's forte was the Dao of Karma! Lying in front of a great power who cultivated the Dao of Karma?

Now, Envoy Qiong Yi could only hope that Elder Tian Jing didn't value Xu Ming too much, didn't care too much about this matter, and wouldn't use karma to investigate.

So, Envoy Qiong Yi repeated what he had said in the Sword Song Chaos Kingdom: "Reporting to the Elder, this Xu Ming has poor character and is a petty thief! When I went to the Sword Song Chaos Kingdom, I saw him stealing fragments of the Supreme Dao; therefore, I kicked him out of the list for the Myriad Domains Genius Battle!"

"Oh…" Elder Tian Jing said seemingly nonchalantly, "Is that so?"

"Yes!" Envoy Qiong Yi was overjoyed when he saw that Elder Tian Jing didn't seem to care much.

Xu Ming's expression changed — this Envoy Qiong Yi was really shameless! Even at this time, he was still lying through his teeth!

Xu Ming was about to speak, but Elder Tian Jing stopped him with a look.

Elder Tian Jing smiled and said, "By the way, let me briefly introduce you — Xu Ming is the eleventh Golden Robe Disciple of our Azure Sky Gate!"

A thousand years ago, the news of the Azure Sky Gate having an eleventh Golden Robe Disciple spread like wildfire within the sect. However, because this Golden Robe Disciple was born in the 'Ruins,' the Azure Sky Gate had difficulty finding him, so the matter gradually faded into oblivion.

Some even believed that the Golden Robe Disciple in the Ruins might never reach the Land of Origin and could not be discovered by the Azure Sky Gate. Unexpectedly, in just a thousand years, he had come to the Azure Sky Gate.

Envoy Qiong Yi felt an urge to bang his head against the wall: "The first time I served as an envoy, the first time I framed someone, I actually framed a Golden Robe Disciple…"

"Oh, right!" Elder Tian Jing changed the subject, looked at Qiong Yi, and said, "But Qiong Yi, I don't quite believe what you just said, what should I do?"

Envoy Qiong Yi's expression changed drastically.

Elder Tian Jing smiled and said, "How about I search your soul! As long as I search your soul, I'll know the truth!"

Soul Searching!?

Envoy Qiong Yi's expression changed again.

Soul searching is risky; if you're not careful, you can mess up the soul-searched person's sea of consciousness and turn him into an idiot, which is normal!

Elder Tian Jing could have easily learned the truth by using the Dao of Karma, but he insisted on using "soul searching" — what did this mean?

Envoy Qiong Yi knew very well that Elder Tian Jing was deliberately sending a friendly signal to Xu Ming, the new Golden Robe Disciple! If the soul search revealed that Envoy Qiong Yi was telling the "truth," then at most, Xu Ming would be blamed lightly; but even if Envoy Qiong Yi was telling the truth, Elder Tian Jing would probably take the opportunity to turn Envoy Qiong Yi into an idiot!

This was the friendly signal that Elder Tian Jing was sending to Xu Ming — no matter what, he would stand on Xu Ming's side!

Moreover, the truth was… Envoy Qiong Yi was lying! Xu Ming was the victim!

Thinking of this, Envoy Qiong Yi was terrified!

"Xu Ming, do you think this is okay?" Elder Tian Jing was going to search Qiong Yi's soul, but he asked for Xu Ming's opinion.

What Envoy Qiong Yi could think of, Xu Ming and the Sword Song Ruler could also think of.

"Is this… the Azure Sky Gate's attitude towards Golden Robe Disciples?" The Sword Song Ruler was shocked — Envoy Qiong Yi, at least a powerful expert in the Myriad Manifestations Realm, was directly sacrificed as a "friendly signal."

Xu Ming, of course, had no objections: "I'll listen to Elder Tian Jing in everything!"
