“Nonsense! I’ve already said that I’ll accept my loss. I entered the Qingyun Sect voluntarily. Why must there be more trouble? Hurry back and tell my father to retreat immediately. Don’t do anything foolish for me!”
Ji Qinglan was somewhat anxious. He could not even care about his tone anymore and practically said whatever he thought of.
If it were a few days ago, he would not have such a reaction when he heard the news.
He would even thank his father for it.
However, his mentality had changed completely.
He really did not want to leave the Qingyun Sect. On the other hand, he felt that his father was playing with fire by sending troops to Great Xia.
They were completely unaware of Li Yu and the power of the Qingyun Sect.
Even the Crimson Dragon King at the Profound Void Martial Stage was defeated by Li Yu.
If the Xi Liang Dynasty really dared to invade the Great Xia Dynasty, it would be equivalent to seeking death!
“Your Highness, it’s just a verbal bet. Why should you care? You’re the Prince of Xi Liang. How can you actually enter a small sect in the Great Xia Dynasty!” Yu Feng said indignantly.
She suddenly felt that Ji Qinglan seemed to have turned into a different person after a few days of not seeing him. It was as if he was brainwashed. How could he actually speak up for the enemy country?
“You all don’t understand the Qingyun Sect and the Great Xia Dynasty at all. Yu Feng, if you still respect me as your highness, listen to this order and hurry back to dissuade my father. Immediately withdraw the troops and don’t start a war with the Great Xia Dynasty. It must never happen!” Ji Qinglan said resolutely.
Yu Feng’s brows furrowed tightly. She seriously could not understand what was wrong with Ji Qinglan. Where did his former pride and confidence go?
Was he going to be so depressed and undervalue himself just because he lost a match?
How could he say things like praising others while undermining himself?
What was there to be afraid of in a mere Great Xia Dynasty? A weak country that only sought peace with the Xi Liang Dynasty through ceding territory.
Seeing she could not persuade Ji Qinglan, Yu Feng looked at the top of the Nine-tailed Mountain and yelled, “Li Yu, if you remain stubborn and refuse to let the prince leave, await for the millions of citizens of the Grand Xia Dynasty to pay the price for your foolish actions!”
Before Yu Feng finished her sentence, Li Yu got up in the air on the purple lightning flood dragon.
“Bring me to your emperor!” Li Yu said calmly.
Perfected Qingfeng was shocked to see Li Yu riding the flood dragon.
This purple lightning flood dragon was no ordinary demon beast. It was top-notch among demon beasts with incredible strength.
After adulthood, it would possess the strength of the Profound Void Martial Stage. Although it could not compare with a true dragon, it would still have the chance to transform into a dragon if it were to obtain the opportunity.
Furthermore, these flood dragons were savage and difficult to tame.
In the entire Immortal Martial World, no more than five people possessed a purple lightning flood dragon as their mount. Furthermore, they were all experts at the top of the pyramid.
He did not expect such a powerful demon beast mount to exist in such a small sect in the Great Xia Dynasty.
Although this purple lightning flood dragon should not be an adult yet, he had to look at Li Yu in a different light since he had such a powerful demon beast.
It seems that this small sect isn’t that simple. In that case, I can’t act rashly now.
Perfected Qingfeng thought.
However, Yu Feng did not know what the purple lightning flood dragon’s appearance meant.
She snorted when she heard Li Yu’s words, thinking that Li Yu was afraid and took the initiative to negotiate with their emperor to extort benefits.
“Tell me what you want to say. I’ll relay it to my Majesty!” Yu Feng snapped coldly.
“You’re not worthy!” As soon as Li Yu spoke, the flood dragon seemed to have sensed Li Yu’s emotions, and it instantly let out a roar that shook the sky.
The terrifying aura sent chills into Yu Feng’s heart, and she didn’t dare to say anything for a moment.
“Senior Brother, my father is only concerned about his son. He wouldn’t really send troops to attack the Great Xia Dynasty. And don’t worry, Senior Brother. I will definitely keep my promise. Since I’ve entered the Qingyun Sect, I won’t betray the sect..” Ji Qinglan was getting anxious.
If Li Yu wished to see his father, he might lose his father.
An old monster at the Profound Void Martial Stage was an existence that could destroy a country with a wave of his hand.
On the other hand, Li Yu was the monstrous genius who had killed such an old monster.
“Don’t worry. You’re my junior brother, so I won’t harm your family. I’m only helping you inform your father that you’re safe with us. He’ll definitely be relieved to know that you’re eating and sleeping well here!” Li Yu revealed a harmless smile.
However, this smile made Ji Qinglan panic even more.
Ji Qinglan still wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by Li Yu’s words. “If you guys don’t lead the way then I’ll go myself”
I’Il lead the way for you!” the ruddy, sage-like old man said with a smile.
At the same time, he sent a voice transmission through his divine sense to Yu
Feng. Tf he follows us, he’ll be walking into a trap. Once we capture him, we
won’t have to waste a single soldier to save His Highness!”
After hearing her master’s divine sense voice transmission, a sharp glint
flashed in Yu Feng’s eyes, and a sly smile surfaced on her lips.
She wished to see if Li Yu dared to be that arrogant after his capture!
The purple lightning flood dragon carried Li Yu and followed Perfected
Qingfeng and Yu Feng west, and they quickly entered the Xi Liang Dynasty.
Li Yu slept the entire journey. When he woke up again, they had already arrived
at the Xi Liang Dynasty’s capital.
Cultivator Li, your mount will wait outside the city!” said Perfected Qjngfeng
Li Yu did not mind and left the flood dragon outside the city.
He followed Perfected Qingfeng and Yu Feng through the streets and into the
Xi Liang Imperial Palace.
Cultivator Li, please wait here first. I’ll report to His Majesty!” Perfected
Qingfeng led Li Yu to a remotely located hall close to the Cold Palace and said
with a smile.
“Sure!” Li Yu nodded, then he casually sat down on the chair as if he’d returned
home.
Yu Feng stood at the side, and she looked coldly at the unsuspecting Li Yu
while she smiled with disdain.
She thought to herself that this boy was a simple-minded fool.
He was not scheming at all. He would probably count the money for someone
else after being sold.
Such a person was not worthy of being His Highness’s senior brother, nor was
he even worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as His Highness.
“Oh yes, who’s the best in your Xi Liang Imperial Palace?” Li Yu suddenly asked.
Yu Feng was stunned by his question, and she looked at Li Yu in surprise.
However, Yu Feng did not think much about it. She sneered and replied, “of
course, it’s my master. He’s one of the top five experts of our Xi Liang Dynasty.
If you hadn’t taken the initiative to come and see His Majesty today, your
Qingyun Sect would probably have ceased to exist
“Then that makes it easy!” Li Yu did not listen to the second half of Yu Feng’s
sentence as he continued to speak.
If he wanted to negotiate with the Xi Liang emperor, he had to offer some form
of leverage.
Yu Feng did not know what Li Yu was talking about. She rolled her eyes at him,
and the disdain on her face intensified.
Before long, Yu Feng received Perfected Qjngfeng’s voice transmission and left
the hall.
At the same time, five figures instantly landed around the hall. They formed
hand seals, and each struck out five different runes, Metal, Wood, Water, Fire,
and Earth, respectively.
Five array flags grew in the wind as five spirit beasts manifested and roared.
At the same time, a spherical light screen instantly enveloped the hall.
Perfected Qingfeng believed that Li Yu must have some trump cards to possess
the Purple Lightning Flood Dragon mount and ascend to the Heavenly Dao
Rankings consecutively in the Great Xia Dynasty.
Therefore, to be safe, he did not act rashly on his own.
Instead, he chose the safest method to summon the other four Soul Formation
Stage cultivators in the palace to set up the Five Elements Spirit Array together
to trap Li Yu.
This Five Elements Spirit Array was enough to trap and kill an expert at the
Profound Void Martial Stage.
Therefore, even if Li Yu had any powerful trump cards, he would definitely not
be able to escape from this Five Elements Spiritual Array.
As the Five Elements spirit Array appeared, Li Yu immediately felt as if he was
in the deep sea, as if the surrounding space was constantly squeezing his body.
However, to Li Yu, such power was around zero in damage.
He leisurely walked out of the hall and looked at the Five Elements Spiritual
Array in front of him. His face was unsurprised.
He knew that Perfected Qjngfeng was bluffing and would attempt to attack
him.
However, it just so happened that he and Perfected Qingfeng had the same
idea, so he let nature take its course.
Perfected Qingfeng thought that he was hunting, but he had become the prey
from the start
“Li Yu, surrender now, and you shall avoid physical pain!” Perfected Qjngfeng
said coldly.
Yu Feng sneered as well.
Since Li Yu was trapped in the Five Elements Spirit Array, he would be at their
mercy.
He could not escape from this array formation no matter how capable he was.
