A Journey Against the World
Chapter 89

In the Golden Pillar kingdom, they began to welcome the arrival of great guests, ranging from the Star kingdom, Moon kingdom and other kingdoms. Not only that, they also welcomed the arrival of the 2 great Masters from the Lightning sect who will be the judges later on the match day tomorrow.

Golden Pillar Kingdom, is the first largest kingdom and the second strongest order after the kingdom of Bora. The Golden Pillar Kingdom was famous for its incredible wealth, almost every royal wall was clad in Gold, not even one of their dinner plates was also made of gold. And the 5 kingdoms agreement, the match will be held in the Golden Pillar territory, precisely in Yufeng city square. Because it has a pretty good city beauty and facilities that better accommodate selection later.

In front of the gate made of silver and gold, a red-clothed man in a long black robe dangled beautifully, and a beautiful crown perched on his head, was none other than the King of the Golden Pillar kingdom, huang Foling's. The king who was famous for being generous and noble-hearted, not only that, his strength was also not inferior to Xui Sukong.

Huang Foling came to the gate waiting for the arrival of an important guest, he wanted to welcome him directly so that mutual respect for his fellow Kings would be maintained, even if his royal party was the host.

Looking at the horse carriage with the flag symbolizing the star and the Lu surname on the flag, the horse carriage approached the gate. Huang Foling immediately walked up to the gate along with his wife Sue Yan. The chariot belonged to the Star kingdom, from the plain white horse carriage, descended a man in red robes with a crown on his head, none other than King Lu Qiaohu. Lu Qiaohu came down accompanied by a woman in complete armour whom Huang Foling knew very well, she was the strongest female General in the Star Kingdom, who was none other than Mei Hua.

"Welcome King Lu Qiaohu," said Huang Foling along with his wife. Huang Foling glanced at the other kerata, but no one came out of the horse carriage.

"Did Prince Lu Xiao not come with you?" huang Foling asked as she realized the Princes were not with Lu Qiaohu.

Lu Qiaohu smiled back at Huang Foling's greeting, "Thank you for King Huang Foling's welcome. I didn't expect King Huang to come down on his own to welcome our arrival. The Princes will come tonight, they still want to roam around Yufeng city square. You must know, young people can at least bear to hear the conversation of parents," he replied with a small laugh loose from his lips.

"Hahaha .. young people today are not the same as we were in the past." Huang Foling also laughed considering the drastic changes of the past and present.

"When was the last time we met my best friend? A month ago? Ah .. I forgot."

"Lu Qiaohu, you never change." Huang Foling grabbed onto Lu Qiaohu's shoulder, "Let's my best friend, we go inside. It's not good to talk outside."

Not wrong Huang Foling was so notoriously humble in the eyes of many, with his kindness this was not wrong he was very looked upon very noble by his people, even the people's respect for him was much higher than their respect for the previous King. Huang Foling is also not only famous for being kind, but also smart to use anything to his advantage, especially the benefits of his people.

Lu Qiaohu was increasingly fond of Huang Foling, with her attitude so humble, who would hurt her? If there really was, then that fellow was already gravely hostile towards Huang Foling. Being hostile to Huang Foling was tantamount to being hostile to the entire life in this Yufeng city. Obviously they would not accept the Great King they got into trouble.

Lu Qiaohu and Huang Foling entered simultaneously into the Golden Pillar kingdom. Started with the elite soldiers, behind Lu Tianyu and Huang Foling there were several large shops following, such as Queen Sue Yan, General Mei Hua and General Kian Ren the general of the Golden Pillar kingdom.

When the 2 large figures entered, they were presented with a luxurious, shiny and bright view. Whether it's because of the glazing lights, the diamond ceramics or the golden walls along the way. Lu Qiaohu was truly amazed, the glory of Huang Foling was able to greatly change the kingdom of the Golden Pillar like a sturdy kingdom made of gold. It was obvious Huang Foling's intelligence was extremely high, perhaps even far above Lu Qiaohu's delusion.

They continued walking, each of their trips were presented with interesting and luxurious scenery, whether it was a small waterfall in the kingdom or, the luxurious paintings that Lu Qiaohu had never seen. Before long they walked, they arrived before a large golden door, the door was made of gold and beautiful rubies, in the middle of the door there was a lion head as the main symbol of this kingdom. No one knows why Huang Foling chose the lion as the main symbol of the Golden Pillar kingdom, but Huang Foling once said there was a lion ancestor who had saved him. Until he made the lion's head emblem as the main symbol of the Golden Pillar kingdom as a form of respect.

The door is 4 meters high with a width of 3 meters, has a door thickness of almost half a meter. Opened with 4 large-bodied soldiers. When the door opened, they immediately entered and could see that there were already many guests inside the large hall. Even in the hall was already provided small banquets as a light meal greeters. The big meal will be held later tonight, when all the important figures have come.

The arrival of the 2 figures of the King was immediately warmly welcomed by the other guests inside the hall. King Jiang Yuer of the Moon kingdom stood up from his seat then walked towards Huang Foling and Lu Qiaohu. Jiang Yuer displayed her trademark smile on the 2 figures of her best friend.

"Welcome King Lu Qiaohu," Jiang Yuer said, then his gaze turned to Huang Foling, "And also King Huang Foling."

"King Jiang Yuer turned out to have arrived earlier, I thought I was the first to come," Lu Qiaohu replied with a small laugh. Huang Foling and Jiang Yuer also chuckled along.

"Hahaha ..but sorry, it seems I was the first one to come. You lose quickly, Lu Qiaohu," Jiang Yuer replied.

The three important figures laughed freely together to show all the guests that they were really familiar with each other and made a pact to maintain each other's relationship. Their laughter to escape had made the guests think that these three figures are friends in youth so their familiarity is very strong.

2 middle-aged men and 2 young men and women came over, those 3 important figures. When the distance of these 2 figures was close, they immediately gave a greeting.

"Greetings Your Majesty King Huang Foling, His Majesty King Lu Qiaohu and His Majesty King Jiang Yuer" said the 2 figures simultaneously while giving their respects. The 2 young men behind him also saluted.

Huang Foling, Jiang Yuer and Lu Qiaohu immediately turned their heads as voices greeted the three of them. At first glance they can see 2 large shop figures along with 2 young people figures saluting the three of them.

Huang Foling was the first to immediately reply to the greeting of the 4 figures, shortly followed by Jiang Yuer and Lu Qiaohu together. The three of them were very respectful towards these 2 Masters from the Lightning sect, not only in terms of cooperative relations but also in terms of friendship.

Elder Wuyin as the main Elder in the Lightning sect came specifically as the main judge in the selection later. Then the man who was not much different from Elder Wuyin's age was Hayun Dao the second elder in the Lightning sect. Then the 2 young people who had come with them were 2 genius disciples from the Lightning sect, of which the positions of these two young people were very high among all the other disciple positions. They were Ning Er and Jung Suk, direct disciples of Elder Wuyin.

"Master Wuyin, we are honored to have a great Master like you, even more so you have also agreed to this massive selection." Huang Foling felt very proud of the arrival of a great figure like Wuyin in his kingdom.

"His Majesty King Huang is too pompous. We also from the Lightning sect are also honored to be one of the main stores in the selection later," Wuyin replied as he glanced at Hayun Dao. These two figures both widen smiles and nods of the head.

Jiang Yuer glanced towards the 2 young people behind Wuyin and Hayun Dao, slightly interested in the identities of the two young people. Joining Master Wuyin and Hayun Dao must be their status is also no less high? Or maybe they were disciples of one of these Elders in front of him.

Out of curiosity, Jiang Yuer asked the question, "Master Wuyin, who are the two young people behind you? Joining these two great figures must have been their unusual status."

Huang Foling and Lu Qiaohu glanced at the 2 young men, only then did they realize there were 2 young figures behind Wuyin and Hayun Dao following them. Also stuck in their heads who are the 2 young people?

Wuyin turned his gaze to Jung Suk and Ning Er, then again looked forward with a warm smile.

"They are both my students," Wuyin replied briefly, then his hand touched Ning Er's shoulder, "This is Ning Er, the most talented disciple among the other female disciples." Then his hand turned again touching Jung Suk, "And this Jung Suk, the genius youth has three aura tattoo elements at once. It's rare to find a young man like him, even I think there's only him in the Underworld."

Seeing Wuyin introduce the 2 young men enthusiastically and full of pride, Huang Foling and his 2 colleagues could only nod their heads slowly in awe at Wuyin's reply. If the figure of Wuyin had already praised the genius of those 2 young people, it meant that they were indeed the most talented in the Lightning sect.

Ning Er and Jung Suk saluted as their teacher introduced them to the 3 honorable kings. Being able to pay respects to 3 kings at once is very rare, let alone face to face with the 3 kings.

Jiang Yuer was most interested in Jung Suk because the young man had 3 aura tattoo elements that were very rare to find in the corners of this continent. Even this was the first time Jiang Yuer had heard of any Cultivator having 3 elements at once - wasn't that a genius? But what it is, do not forget there is still a figure of the main store that has not appeared.

"Master Wuyin, I think the selection this time of the Lightning sect will get many talented disciples. From the news that I heard, many young men followed this selection, surely among the many participants there must be the most prominent," said Jiang Yuer as he looked towards Wuyin. Just to warn that not forever those 2 young people will become the most geniuses in the Lightning sect later, it is likely that their genius position will be taken by new disciples. That's not impossible anymore, is it?

At first glance Wuyin was silent, but before long he laughed softly with a nod of his head, "Yayaya. It might just be more genius than Ning Er and Jung Suk."

While they were chatting, they had the arrival of 1 man in silver armor who was none other than the Golden Pillar kingdom soldier. The soldier saluted when he was in front of the guests who were with his King.

"His Majesty's report, the White Fan Kingdom's carriage party has arrived at the city gate."

Huang Foling looked at her guests, giving a slightly sad look not wanting to leave the conversation she was having. But it was also not good that Huang Foling did not welcome the arrival of King Biao Shen's entourage.

Before Huang Foling left her guests, she said goodbye first and then she left.

***

"Your Highness the Great Queen, we have entered at the entrance of Yufeng City" said the cashier of the horse-drawn carriage Shua Xie.

Shua Xie was sitting pensively in the kerata, feeling so bored that he could not do anything interesting. But after hearing the cashier inform them that their horse carriage had entered Yufeng's city gate, Shua Xie immediately put on a cheerful face, feeling more excited than before.

Shua Xie's hand opened the window curtain of the train, and immediately saw the houses on the side of the road. Such a familiar sight reminded Shua Xie of the city of Bora and the city of Xuilin in the Middle world. Although the day has shown at night, but the activities of the residents are still running as usual. Even more crowded than usual, along the road Shua Xie can see many lanterns on display beautifully.

Usually, the installation of lanterns in Yufeng city only happens a few times, such as the new year, or important nights commemorating this city. But especially for tonight, because the city of Yufeng is hosting the selection of tomorrow's match, King Huang Foling held this evening as a happy feast night welcoming the arrival of great guests and also the Cultivator participants from every corner.

Shua Xie inhaled the air as deeply as possible, trying to feel the air tonight, so happy and calm. There was no sound of strife or fights, the peace of Yufeng city was completely different from the city of Bora.

Not long after Shua Xie's horse-drawn carriage was running, the horse-drawn carriage stopped, a sign that the carriage's destination had arrived. The cashier riding on Shua Xie's horse carriage immediately reported that the carriage had arrived before the gates of the Golden Pillar kingdom.

Shua Xie immediately got off the carriage, along with that, Xui Sukong and the 3 youths with him had also gotten off the carriage. In front of the gate Shua Xie could see a middle-aged man standing, wearing a thick fur robe as well as a crown on his head. Shua Xie could guess the status of the man was none other than the King in the Golden Pillar kingdom. But what Shua Xie did not think was, how humble the man was until he was willing to come to welcome his guests in particular. Doesn't that look degrading to his status? But Shua Xie did not think that way, the man was accompanied by 1 man in complete silver armor.

"Welcome my friend, King Xui Sukong. I thought you weren't coming, 'cause you were too slow. But it didn't" said the man very warmly, as if talking to his own brother.

Xui Sukong let go of his embrace, then embraced the man's shoulder in his anxiety.

"I'm sorry my best friend, Huang Foling. On the trip we had a little trouble. That's why we're late" replied Xui Sukong.

Huang Foling looked at the 4 young people who were silent listening to the talk of these 2 kings. As Huang Foling gazed towards the 4 youngsters, the 3 youngsters immediately bowed in respect.

"Greetings Your Majesty King Huang Foling," said the 3 young people together, only 1 who did not come and only chose silence with a flat face.

Huang Foling smiled warmly to reply to the greeting of the 3 young people - it turned out that the young people from the Bora kingdom were indeed warm like Xui Sukong. But the highlight of Huang Foling is a girl in scanty black, black-clothed, face so beautiful for her age and has a unique eye color. The look on the girl's face was so flat, it didn't show any expression. But even more puzzling was that the girl did not greet him. Huang Foling had indeed never asked for the respect of everyone with his current status, but there had never been anyone who did not greet him. And this girl in front of him opened her eyes.

Seeing Huang Foling staring at him Shua Xie, Shua Xie immediately drew a faint smile then greeted, "Good night King Huang."

Shocked by Huang Foling as Shua Xie smiled at him, as if he was falling for someone, Huang Foling immediately wavered, but did not show his reaction. Huang Foling returned Shua Xie's smile. The greeting of the girl was very different from the others, usually she would be called His Majesty, but this girl was heard calling him as if the status of the girl was a level higher than him.

Huang Foling immediately glanced at Xui Sukong, asking the question with her eyes, 'Who is that girl?'

Xui Sukong smiled stiffly as Huang Foling looked at him with a questioning gaze. Wanting him to answer that the status of the girl was the leader, but they had all promised not to reveal Shua Xie's identity before the other Kings, it was all for the sake of not inviting him many questions.

Seeing Xui Sukong's reaction so strange, Huang Foling had already guessed, the status of the girl was not ordinary. It made Huang Foling's curiosity even higher. But he realized he could not get an answer from Xui Sukong seeing Xui Sukong not answer him.

Shua Xie stared at Huang Foling slightly sharply, seeing Huang Foling's observation so sharp, Shua Xie felt this was not a good thing.

"King Huang Foling is too high-minded, I'm just a participant who represents the kingdom of Bora." Shua Xie replied to Huang Foling's curiosity, making Huang Foling slightly jolted in shock because the girl could read what she was thinking. Huang Foling looked at Shua Xie for a moment with an intense gaze - this girl was extremely intelligent and dangerous.

"Your mother surprised me." Huang Foling smiled for a moment, "Let's go inside. The guests have been waiting for our arrival" Huang Foling replied. Then Huang Foling invited Xui Sukong and his entourage into the palace.

***

In front of the door of the hall, Huang Foling and Xui Sukong with the entourage entered. When they entered the crowd, many nobles were in the hall. They were all already seated in their respective chairs that had been prepared. Whether it was male or female nobles, they were all sitting while chatting.

But seeing the arrival of Huang Foling and several entourage, they immediately glanced towards the entourage. The female nobles glanced at the handsome-looking young man, so dazzling as if the young man was the most adept at flirting. Especially when the young man smiled, the female nobles could only meet with embarrassment and steal attention.

As for the male nobles, initially their gaze was on the night blue-haired girl with striking blue-colored eye beads. The girl has a pretty sweet face, plus her clothing style. Making the male nobles feel gurgling want to approach the girl. But ... When the girl appeared in skimpy black clothes, mingled 1 sword on her waist, and had a beautiful face like a Goddess. They all immediately turned their eyes to the girl. Flat-faced girl with unique eyes. The girl walked at the very end, not looking left or right, her gaze focused forward, as if not interested in glancing in the other direction.

Xui Sukong arrived at a long table, where 3 Kings were standing welcoming the arrival of 2 of their companions. Not only the 3 Kings, there were still Elder Wuyin and Elder Hayun Dao who also stood up to welcome the arrival of Xui Sukong and Huang Foling.

Shua Xie and Xui Miaoyu sat on the special seats of the noble girls' seats. Their arrival was warmly welcomed by the sweet girl with black eyes, all in green clothes. The girl asked Shua Xie to sit next to her because there were some things that the girl wanted to ask Shua Xie.

But for other noble girls, there were some of them who did not like the arrival of Shua Xie because the envy of the beauty of the girl was more than the average beauty of the girl in general. There were even some of them whispering saying Shua Xie's beauty she got from a bad thing, like a blood bath or so on.

After all the guests had gathered, Huang Foling stood up from her chair, then looked at the 4 companions while nodding softly, hinting at them to start opening the event.

"Guests, since everything has been gathered. Dinner as a joint dinner as a testament to the friendship our five kingdoms began." Huang Foling raised her glass which contained wine water. Seeing Huang Foling raise a glass, they all instantly raised their respective glasses, "Let's cross over."

Dinner was lively, laughter was heard everywhere. How well these 5 kingdoms got along, made Shua Xie feel a little relieved. That meant that the kingdom of Bora did not have any great enemies like the Golden Pillar kingdom or any other kingdom. If only Bora kingdom had enemies from the other 4 kingdoms, Shua Xie could not guess what it would be like if he left Bora kingdom. Now the power of the Bora kingdom was clearly weakened, with many officials resigning. If something bad happened while he was gone, then it would be bad for him.

Shua Xie had thought that he would attack the other 4 kingdoms if the 4 kingdoms became enemies of Bora kingdom. But after seeing the familiarity of the 5 kings ... Shua Xie was relieved.

After the day grew night, Huang Foling passed the closing ceremony by introducing the young generation nobles to each other, the point is that if any of them have an interest, they can voice their feelings. By betrothing or knocking them down, doesn't that further strengthen the friendship between kingdoms? Huang Foling hoped that way.

Shua Xie rolled his eyes lazily, "This is .. Even if I am in the Cultivator world. It will not be able to escape the name of matchmaking," muttered Shua Xie in a lazy tone.

The girl beside Shua Xie looked at Shua Xie a little confused, seeing the reaction Shua Xie did not like so much after Huang Foling explained the last event, the girl thought it seemed like Shua Xie was indeed different from the other women.

"Hi, may I meet you?" greet that while falling on Shua Xie's shoulders.

Feeling that someone was touching his shoulder, Shua Xie instantly shifted his gaze, "You?" Shua Xie's question came to a halt.

"I, Huang Sua, am the First Princess of the Golden Pillar kingdom." The girl immediately introduced her name as Shua Xie looked at her with a question.

Shua Xie frowned, Huang Sua, the first daughter of King Huang Foling and Queen Sue Yan. He innocently introduced his name to Shua Xie, briefly making Shua Xie a little surprised.

"G ... Princess Huang Sua. Nice to meet you, I'm Shua Xie," Shua Xie replied with a faint smile.

"Shua Xie, nice name. Please don't call me Princess, I don't like to hear that. I see you're not interested in the last show ...."

"As Miss Huang Sua saw. I am indeed very uninterested, matchmaking or dropping sounds ridiculous in my ears. We have our own feelings, why should we be tied up? Is the nature of women in this world so low?"

Huang Sua closed her mouth in surprise, not believing that harsh words would come out of Shua Xie's mouth. But even so .. which Shua Xie said was not wrong, but his words were not appropriate to say to a respectable noble girl.

Shua Xie is polite? Hah, that's a crisp joke!

Seeing Huang Sua's expression so exaggerated, Shua Xie again spoke, "Miss Huang Sua. Let me be clear on you, I'm very different from other women. Don't think that since I have a pretty face, I should also be as ethical as my face. My life is free like the wind, blowing wherever I want. No one can stop me, not even if he's a king."

"Miss Shua. You ... You really .. really think as I do! Finally someone thinks the same as me! It's not wrong my brother rated you well from the beginning I saw you!" Huang Sua immediately hugged Shua Xie's anxiety until she forgot that she was currently in a crowded place. Many eyes glanced towards the 2 girls who were hugging, more precisely being hugged.

Shua Xie was in Huang Sua's arms feeling tight, who would have thought that the girl's strength was so strong, just in her arms Shua Xie felt like he was being fattened.

"Uhuk! Uhuk! Miss Huang Sua. I'm having a hard time breathing!" shua Xie Village with choked breath.

"G ...." Huang Sua instantly let go of her embrace as Shua Xie grimaced loudly in her arms, with an awkward smile Huang Sua apologized, "Pardon me. I'm too happy ...."

Shua Xie immediately took in as many breaths as he could, then he turned to look at Huang Sua, "Ti-no problem. But, what do you mean by your brother not being misjudged?" shua Xie asked remembering Huang Sua's words just now. Anyone could hear the plain girl's words.

"Ah that ...."

On the sidelines of the commotion Huang Sua and Shua Xie. Suddenly a loud voice spoke, "Your Majesty the King, let me marry Miss Shua Xie after the selection later!"

As all the gazes looked at the person fixed on the source of the voice, so did Shua Xie. With a stern countenance and twitching brows he looked at the man, never did he expect his name to be mentioned by any of the Prince nobles, yet it seemed that Shua Xie's hope was not granted the heavens. Shua Xie stared intently at the black-haired man, having the glare of seductive eyes. The man dressed in black all over looked towards Shua Xie with a seductive smile.

The man's good looks are undeniable, have thick eyebrows, a sharp nose, and a seductive smile, which woman does not say handsome? Ah ... specifically for Shua Xie, she was more precisely disgusted at staring at the flirtatious man. Seeing the man warm Shua Xie to Lou Yue. Both crazy and confident. But it seemed like this one man was more narcissistic than Lou Yue.
