At those words, the entire crowd fell silent. Even Jade Qilin began questioning his life.
Did I hear that wrong?
Someone actually... dared to call him a kitty?!
He was the mighty Jade Qilin, possessed of one of the Qilin Clan's finest bloodlines. Noble of birth, he had dominated an entire region, and now served as the guardian divine beast of the Supreme Hall's Heavenly Gate.
Throughout the ages, no prodigy had ever dared speak to him like that.
Some stubborn Young Supremes, believing themselves peerless and blessed with unrivaled talent, had tried to force their way through. In the end, every one of them had been subdued.
They could only obediently offer up divine abilities and magical treasures, begging him to spare them and let them enter the Supreme Hall.
Indeed, as this place's guardian divine beast, Jade Qilin did not bar everyone from entering.
Otherwise, what purpose would the Supreme Hall serve?
However, anyone who lacked the strength to enter the Supreme Hall had to bow to his whims.
Yet across all these countless ages, this was the first time Jade Qilin had encountered such a tough opponent.
He had no regard for worldly etiquette, refused to offer any divine abilities, and wanted only to force his way through.
Worse still, he had arrogantly declared that he would make Jade Qilin his mount. That had truly struck a nerve.
Yet Ye Tian remained utterly unperturbed. He casually shook out his hand, giving Jade Qilin no consideration whatsoever.
"Boy, arrogance comes at a price!"
"Today, I'll teach you a lesson on your elders' behalf!"
Jade Qilin roared, but before his words had even faded, a palm came flying toward him.
Like a frail little kitten, Jade Qilin was slapped away and crashed to the ground.
All of this happened
