HEAVENLY DAO RANK: I WAS EXPOSED AS A SWORD GOD
Chapter 54: Conversations with the Crown Prince
As Li Yu and the others returned to the recruitment platform, Crown Prince Murong Xingqiao walked over. "Cultivator Li, can we talk in private?"
"No problem. Ye Qiu, help Junior Brother Ji complete the admission procedure. Afterwards, bring Junior Brother Ji to hand out flyers to attract more people!” Li Yu instructed.
“…”
I am the prince of the Xi Liang Dynasty, and you have the courage to order me to hand out a brochure?
"Let's go on, Your Majesty!"
After settling the matter at hand, Li Yu immediately followed Murong Xingqiao to the boundary of the square and boarded his carriage.
"Is there anything important, Your Majesty?" Li Yu got straight to the point.
"It's about Ji Qinglan." Murong Xingqiao pondered for a moment and replied.
“You must be worried that Emperor Xi Liang will get angry and attack our Great Xia Dynasty. Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will handle this matter myself. And I will not involve the Great Xia Dynasty!” Li Yu firmly convinced the crown prince.
He knew that Ji Qinglan's identity was a problem. Everything that happens today is not as simple as winning or losing a bet between ordinary people.
It's a contest between countries. It was a big deal, and involved the fate of both countries and the lives of countless citizens.
Thus, as the crown prince, Murong Xingqiao must have been worried that this would trigger a war between the two countries.
“No, that's not what I meant. I'd just like to tell you that the Great Xia Dynasty will always stand behind you and support you. If Xi Liang's people want to cause trouble, the country will support you.
“It's been almost a hundred years. Our Great Xia has been weak and intimidated by other countries, especially the Xi Liang Dynasty. We have repeatedly given up on them, but they continue to push their luck.
“The Great Xia Dynasty seems to have forgotten its former glory, becoming increasingly humble and cowardly.
“Our people seem to have lost their self-esteem, confidence, and morale.
“However, it won't happen again from now on.
“Today, you have helped our country achieve greatness. Once the news spreads, it will definitely entertain the people and help regain the pride of our Great Xia Dynasty.
“For the past few days, I also understood one thing. Our Great Xia Dynasty will never submit to anyone or any country again.
“Even if we have to fight until the last soldier, we cannot lose our national integrity.
“You don't have to worry. If the Xi Liang Dynasty threatens you, you have the support of everyone in the Great Xia Dynasty. And if the Xi Liang Dynasty sent an army to attack, we have millions of soldiers from the Great Xia Dynasty!”
Murong Xingqiao's speech was fiery, while her gaze was firm and unwavering.
His words shocked Li Yu.
He really did not expect Murong Xingqiao to say such a thing.
Still, it was a proof of character!
Of course, Murong Xingqiao did not mean to say sweet words, but spoke from the bottom of his heart.
Today it proves that the wonders of the Great Xia Dynasty have surpassed the Xi Liang Dynasty. He could see the long-awaited pride and confidence in his people's faces.
Moreover, he had awakened a powerful physique, and the Great Xia Dynasty had young geniuses like Li Yu and Ye Qiu. Their potential is unlimited.
The Wolf King Clan was no longer a threat, and the Netherworld Demon Sect had been annihilated. The Great Xia Dynasty had resolved most of its internal threats.
Furthermore, they had the support of that mysterious expert.
Why should they be afraid? Why should they continue to submit to Xi Liang's people?
If the people were helpless, the Great Xia Dynasty would only exist in name.
Will the country survive if the people lose their self-esteem and confidence?
Even if the Xi Liang Dynasty was strong, it was not invincible.
Furthermore, Ji Qinglan's life was in their hands. Why should they fear that the Xi Liang Dynasty will overturn their country?
Therefore, Murong Xingqiao convinced Li Yu and offered support to boost his confidence.
He could not allow these young elites to be timid anymore.
Of course, Murong Xingqiao said that for a reason. Li Yu remained silent as Yu Feng tried to scare her just now.
He thought Li Yu was worried about a possible invasion from the Xi Liang Dynasty.
“Hahaha, I'm glad to hear that, Your Majesty. But don't worry, with my being, Xi Liang Dynasty can't do anything!” Li Yu smiled confidently.
Murong Xingqiao looked at Li Yu, always feeling that this man was so calm and composed at all times, as if there was nothing he feared in this world.
…
When Li Yu and Murong Xingqiao entered the carriage, a commotion suddenly occurred in the nearby crowd near the recruitment station of the Five Elements Sect.
Someone recognized Su Mu.
That person had a loud voice, and because of his excitement, his voice became a little loud. It immediately attracted the attention of those around him.
Su Mu's name was already known to everyone.
He was ranked third on the 3000th Physical Rank of the Great Xia Dynasty, a hidden prodigy who had obtained an immortal level cultivation technique as a reward.
Everyone wants to know about him.
"Sir Sun, you're here too!" Su Mu had not expected to meet someone familiar here.
Ever since he arrived here, he was no longer afraid of being recognized.
“Ah, what a relief. At that time, I thought everyone in Feng City had already left. If I hadn't seen the 3000 Physique Rankings, I wouldn't have known that you were still alive!” The man named Sun was also happy.
Their conversation caught the attention of the crowd, and many people surrounded them with curiosity.
"That's Su Mu!"
“So this is Su Mu, ranked third in Physical Rank?” Everyone judged Su Mu with shock and curiosity.
Although Su Mu was tattered like a beggar, no one dared to underestimate him.
After all, he was an absolute talent, the owner of the Grand Yan Dao Body who could compete with Ji Qinglan.
Moreover, he had an immortal level technique. Who would dare to underestimate him?
The commotion instantly attracted the attention of the various sects.
The first to rush naturally was the closest Grand Elder of the Five Elements Sect, Elder Jinyang.
"Little boy, you must be Su Mu!" The perfect jinyang looked at Su Mu excitedly. “I'm an Elder of the Five Elements Sect, Jinyang. Do you want to enter the Five Elements Sect?
Elder Jinyang did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
“Greetings, Senior Jin Yang. I am here today to join the Five Elements Sect!” Su Mu cupped his hands and replied with an excited look.
He had traveled a long way to join the Five Elements Sect. Now, his wish will finally be fulfilled.
Upon hearing Su Mu's words, Elder Jinyang was shocked and delighted. His old face will bloom with joy.
He had not expected Su Mu to actually reveal his intention to join their sect. It is only a blessing from heaven.
A commotion grew among the surrounding crowd. They had not expected Su Mu to choose the Five Elements Sect directly.
The Five Elements Sect was completely unstoppable now.
The Patriarch had returned to kill the Wolf King and eliminate the Netherworld Demon Sect. It gave them fame and fortune, increasing the sect power significantly.
The addition of Su Mu gave them a miracle that could compete with the elites of the various sects in the future.
They could also obtain the Nine Scriptures of Pure Eternal Light.
After all, even the Jade Pure Dao Sect did not possess a complete immortal level cultivation technique.
With this immortal level technique, the overall strength of the Five Elements Sect would probably surpass the Pure Dao Jade Sect in a few years.
Coupled with their current reputation, it was only a matter of time before they became the number one sect in the Great Xia Dynasty.
"The Sect of the Five Elements will definitely be the star of the recruitment event today!"
“Mm, yes, I also want to join the Five Elements Sect!”
"of course. Most people here had to race to join the Five Elements Sect, let alone now that they saw Su Mu join them. That will probably affect their decision!” Everyone was discussing excitedly.
At this moment, Elder Cang Shan of the Jade Pure Dao Sect, Elder Qing Xuan of the Great Sky Dao Sect, was, and the elders as well as the people in charge of the various sects rushed over after hearing the news.
Ye Qiu and Ji Qinglan were curious as they came as well.
