Transmigrated Scoundrel's Exchange System-Novel

People in the banquet were not sure about the exact means by which he had managed to seal the space around them —be it through the use of a treasure or some other technique—but it was now evident that the Sky Soaring Sect possessed the power to confront the royal family.

After the sect master left and Han Cai sat back down to enjoy his spirit quietly, the seal on the audience was lifted.  Everyone was quiet and shocked.

The patriarch emperor, who had been sitting calmly on his throne, had his eyes wide with shock. As he saw his own empress being slapped and Han Cai returning to his seat as if nothing had happened, he felt a chill down his spine. He had never imagined that the Sky Soaring Sect would have the strength to openly defy the royal family.

The emperor began to second-guess his choice to belittle the sect, and he understood that they might have formidable treasures concealed within their sect, or they must have collaborated with some strong covert organization or family.

He wanted to see how the Sky Soaring Sect would react, but the Empress Mother went too far. The reaction they showed that day was unforgettable and would stay with him for millennia. That powerful slap left its mark not just on the Empress Mother but on the entire royal family. The consequences of underestimating someone so strong would be a reminder for him for a very long time. As things happened, he realized the seriousness of their mistake and how this event would affect the royal family's future interactions with others.

The Empress Mother, who had just experienced the sting of Han Cai's slap, could hardly believe what had happened. The humiliation and pain from being sent crashing into the wall left her seething with anger. She came to the realization that her emotional outburst had revealed a vulnerability within the royal family, making them appear weaker than ever before. Watching Han Cai calmly sipping his wine after disrespecting her in such a public manner only served to intensify her fury and heighten her sense of disbelief.

Elder Huiqing of the Frost Peak Sect was stunned. He felt terror like he'd never felt before when he witnessed Han Cai smack the Empress Mother. He had previously believed that the Sky Soaring Sect was on the point of extinction, but now the tables had turned, and he recognized that if Sky Soaring wanted to make a move someday, Frost Peak Sect would be the first stop.

Elder Jiang of the Heavenly Thunder Sect noticed a chilly perspiration on his brow. He had been ecstatic at the prospect of the Sky Soaring Sect's destruction, but he now realized that he had severely underestimated their might. The anxiety that possessed him made him wonder how the power equations in the Entire nation would evolve.

Elder Wu of the Divine Wind Sect shared a concerned glance with Elder Jiang. He had also underestimated the Sky Soaring Sect's power and was now left to wonder how this would impact the future of the Yin country. The fear that Han Cai had instilled in him was like nothing he had ever experienced before.

The other cultivator families, including the Li family, were amazed by what had transpired. They had initially been expecting that the fate of the Sky Soaring Sect was sealed, but now they knew that the sect had a hidden strength. They realized that the royal family might not be the most powerful force in the Yin country anymore, and they could feel a shift in the balance of power.

The sect masters of the Wang and Cui families were now anxious and overjoyed at the same time. They had been fearful for their future, but Han Cai's display of power had shown them that the Sky Soaring Sect could subdue even the royal patriarch. This revelation bolstered their confidence in their alliance with the sect and made them believe that they had chosen the right side. But they were also anxious about how the royal family will react.

The young masters who had been present at the royal brawl, previously under the impression that Han Cai was weak and merely shielded by the Cui and Wang families, now found themselves experiencing a potent mix of awe and terror. They had once mocked him during their earlier encounter, but the reality of Han Cai's power now stood fully revealed, forcing them to confront their own ignorance and arrogance.

In retrospect, it became clear that Han Cai's decision to abstain from participating in the royal brawl had nothing to do with his perceived weakness. Rather, it was a testament to the fact that the young masters were simply not worth his attention. His recent display of prowess, in which he effortlessly subdued the Royal Patriarch—an Earth Immortal no less—confirmed that Han Cai possessed immense strength and capability.

The young masters could not help but shudder at the thought of what might happen if they were to find themselves at odds with Han Cai. It was now evident that if he so desired, he could easily crush them like insignificant insects beneath his feet. The once-proud and confident group now faced a humbling and sobering new perspective on their place in the world, as well as the true might of Han Cai.

The aristocrats and nobles who were present at the banquet, besides the exclusive guests sitting near the royal family, were all shocked by the turn of events.

None of them had paid much attention to the Sky Soaring Sect during the tournament, as the sect was not participating. They didn't have many thoughts about the sect, but today, things have changed drastically. For a while, they didn't know how to make heads or tails of the situation. First, out of nowhere, the empress's mother got angry and threatened to murder the master and disciple at the banquet. The next moment, every guest was frozen still for some reason, and then the disciple of the Sky Soaring Sect nonchalantly flew to the empress's mother and slapped her.

While the aristocrats were getting out of their stupor, the general public was eerily quiet. Their Empress Mother had been slapped publicly. The royal family, whom they worshipped like gods in heaven, could do nothing. All their beliefs and reverence, built by the royal family over thousands of years, were shaken to their core with just one slap.
