Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

Chapter 1679

"As the ancient sages said, 'It is precisely because one does not contend that no one in the world can contend with him.' Brother Qi truly deserves to be called a master of Sage Peak; you have a profound understanding of this ancient saying!"

His words were laced with sarcasm.

This is clearly a satire of Qi Wangtian for saying one thing and doing another, for putting on a show of indifference while being nothing more than a hypocrite.

It's now clear to everyone that Zuling Peak and Taiye Peak have completely failed.

All the geniuses were crushed and defeated. Without these future supreme beings, the two peaks can be said to have suffered a severe blow.

Even if we don't mention Sage Peak, many people will probably turn their attention to them.

"Fellow Daoist Ren, there's no need for your sarcastic tone."

But Qi Wangtian shook his head and said, "As I have said, if Sage Peak does not compete for the position of Sage Lord, it will absolutely not participate."

Upon hearing this, Luo Changsheng said, "Brother Qi's noble character is evident to all. In my opinion, the struggle for the Holy Lord is nothing more than a matter of pride. We should discuss it together. Why bother arguing about the Holy Lord?"

What do you think, Brother Qi?

With a single sentence, he directly dismissed the controversy surrounding the Holy Lord.

However, some of the elders from Sage Peak all had unfriendly expressions.

"This Peak Master Luo is truly cunning."

“I’ve never seen him so magnanimous before, but now that we have the upper hand, he’s suddenly become so generous.”

"If he says that, it would make our peak seem narrow-minded if we bring up the struggle for the Holy Lord again."

Many people were unhappy. Although Qi Wangtian had said long ago that Sage Peak would not compete, many people were still unwilling to accept it.

Especially now that everyone can see that after this competition, the reputations of Zuling Peak and Taiye Peak have been ruined, the future of their prodigies is cut off, and even if they want to compete, they will lose the support of the people.

As for Sage Peak, which is on good terms with Shangguan Xiaoxiao and now has another Breakthrough cultivator, it is certainly the one everyone wants.

Luo Changsheng's concession was merely out of fear that Sage Peak would seize the position of Holy Lord.

"I think Sage Peak is capable of leading the world!"

“That’s right. The struggle for the Holy Lord is all about finding someone that everyone can trust. Sage Peak doesn’t compete or fight for anything and has a grand vision. Why not choose them?”

"I agree."

As expected, many people in the crowd spoke up.

But Qi Wangtian shook his head and said, "Enough. What Peak Master Luo said is indeed the truth. From now on, we can discuss matters big and small together. Why do we have to choose a Holy Master?"

"If there are no sages in this world, it is better to have no master. As the saying goes, as long as sages live, great thieves will not stop!"

"If a wise ruler is appointed today, and a suitable person takes the throne, it may be somewhat useful. But what if this position is occupied by treacherous villains in the future? What will you all do then?"

His words were full of profound meaning!

Even Li Lan couldn't help but glance at Qi Wangtian a couple more times.

This person has extraordinary insight.

"As long as there are saints, there will be no end to great thieves"—this is truly a profound saying.

As long as the idea of ​​a "saint" still exists in people's hearts, there will always be people who want to usurp that position.

The first person to be called a hero may truly be a hero.

But most of the heroes that followed were fake; they were just puppets pushed out by those in power.

When the common people have the idea of ​​a "sage," there will always be those who deceive the world and steal fame.

Hence the saying, "If sages do not die, great thieves will not cease to exist."

Of course, it can also be understood from another perspective: anyone who believes that there are still saints, upright officials, and heroes in this world is simply a bunch of fools.

With so many fools, how could scammers not suddenly appear out of nowhere?

Conversely, not establishing a position of Holy Lord from the beginning is also a kind of wisdom.

Upon hearing this, Luo Changsheng was slightly taken aback. In the end, he simply felt that since his own peak was at a disadvantage, he might as well put the matter aside.

Unexpectedly, Qi Wangtian really didn't want to establish a Holy Lord at all.

It will probably be difficult for them to appeal this matter again in the future.

"Brother Qi, you have foresight!"

He could only sigh.

Qi Wangtian turned around, looked at everyone, and said, "According to the rules, those who defeat more than fifty people and persevere to the end will be qualified for promotion to the Supreme rank."
