Chapter 991 There Is No One Above Me

(MC POV)

"All partic.i.p.ants of the Immortal Tournament please make your way to the compet.i.tors area!"

I perked up at the announcement that echoed throughout the arena premises.

"Ara, ara? It seems it's finally time to start," Manami sighed, pulling herself away from leaning against my arm.

Lian Li had also stood up from my lap while Kiyomi also detached herself from my other arm, all three of them having enjoyed cuddling with me ever since we got into the arena.

I was prepared to spectate from the stands but it seems like Trash Qing had gotten me a seat in the VIP viewing gallery where all the big shots of this Plane were gathered.

It's located right in the middle with the best view of the stage and also enclosed from the rest of the arena, but there weren't individual rooms so everyone inside was still in full view of each other.

The only difference between the standard area and this area is that the s.p.a.ce between each viewer was larger and that the seats were plush couches instead of wooden benches.

If I didn't know better, I might have thought that Trash Qing was trying his best to accommodate me by getting a seat for me here. But since I know the truth, I know that this was just him trying to keep me in a place where I couldn't escape easily.

Not that I'm planning to escape anyway so this functions more as a cage for him than it is for me.

I could also tell that Master Hei has done his part splendidly since I've received nothing but scorn and dismissal everywhere we went for the past few days. We didn't even try to correct them and simply acted as arrogantly as we could.

Despite then 'knowing' that our strength came from the Sacred Treasure we possessed, those who do not have Sacred Treasures of their own were unable to oppose us.

Thus, if we were received rudely by any of the shop's staff, we simply took what we wanted and made a mess of things.

It got to the point that everyone was looking forward to the tournament today hoping that someone would teach us a lesson in their stead.

What makes this situation even more ironic is the fact that there are Pract.i.tioners that possess Sacred Treasures with even worse att.i.tudes than ours, but they get a pa.s.s simply because of their standing. We are only experiencing such treatment simply because they think we were n.o.bodies.

Master Hei really went above and beyond though, as I realised later that no one came to challenge us because he convinced everyone that it might make us drop out of the tournament and flee the city. Thus everyone waited patiently until tournament day.

Even now, everyone inside the viewing gallery had been glaring daggers at me ever since I came here and started flirting with my disciples.

I was even given the seat that was located at the very centre of the room, allowing everyone to have a clear view of me.

I wasn't bothered by the gazes and the fact that the tournament was not going to start until the G.o.ds arrived in another few hours also meant the room was still in the process of being filled up.

Which is why I was rather surprised that someone sat down beside me on my couch, though the gasps coming from the other people in the room also attracted my attention.

I turned to see a relatively young woman smiling at me, her black hair tied up in an elaborate princess braid. Behind her were another pair of young women who were clearly accompanying her as guards, their gazes especially unfriendly towards me.

"Master Lin of Heaven Sect, the one who claims to be from the Earthen Plane, I take it?" She asked.

I remembered I still need to act arrogant so I gave her the widest smirk I could, "It seems like my reputation precedes me! Yet, it seems like I'm talking to a n.o.body since I do not know who you are?"

Honestly, I expected her to huff at my insult and leave, yet she smiled at my words and nodded, "It seems the rumour going around that your arrogance stemming from obtaining a power not your own was true. Are you perhaps not even aware of the words being spoken behind your back?"

"Hmph! The ones who stand at the top will always have to deal with the fools who are unable to comprehend the size of the mountain in front of them."

"Oh? And how big is your mountain, Master Lin?"

"You ask a lot of questions for someone who has yet to introduce themselves."

She chuckled, "That is true. I am Sect Mistress Hua from Blossom Sect."

It took everything I had to prevent myself from snorting at what she just said. I guess it's a family thing or something for her to have the surname of 'flower' and be the Sect Mistress of that specific Sect. It was already quite a feat for me not to show any reaction to her mountain question too, you know?

Instead, I tried to change the topic, "So what does the Sect Mistress of the Blossom Sect want from me?"

She paused, "Are you truly from another Plane or are you just doing this on purpose?"

"I'm afraid I don't follow?"

"Ahem I am Sect Mistress Hua from Blossom Sect."

I raised an eyebrow at her, "And I heard you the first time. Are you expecting me to introduce myself when you already know I'm Master Lin from Heaven Sect?"

Several people gasped at my words and even the woman in front of me looked completely taken aback by what I said.

"You You truly think you're someone above me?"

I was extremely tempted to just use omniscience to find out what her deal was, but then I got the idea that she must probably be someone important and the fact that I do not know her could be seen as a huge sign of disrespect or even ignorance.

That means not knowing who she was would help our cause a lot.

I tilted my head and gave her a coy smile, "Correction, my dear. Do you truly think there is anyone else that is above me?"

Unexpectedly, I got a reaction from somewhere else.

'Ahhh~ Master! That was perfect! Absolutely perfect! There is no one above you! You don't even need to waste your time on them! Just wipe them from existence! In fact, just give the word and I'll End them for you!'

Iris Calm down please.

'Ara, ara? My apologies~ I do not know what came over me~'

When I focused my attention back on the women in front of me, it was to the sight of the two guards drawing their blades to point at me.

"Impudence! How dare you?!"

"Get down on your knees and beg for mercy right this instant!"

I could see Trash Qing snickering in the corner of my eye while Master Hei was facepalming at the sight.

Sect Mistress Hua gave me a gentle smile, "Master Lin I am a very benevolent person. How would you like to atone for your sins?"

With so many eyes on me, there was only one thing for me to say.

"Sect Mistress Hua How would you like to suck my b.a.l.l.s?"
