Heavenly Dao Rankings: I Am Exposed As The Sword God

Chapter 54 - Conversation with the Crown Prince

Panda Novel

Just as Li Yu and the others returned to the recruitment platform, Crown Prince Murong Xingqiao walked over. “Cultivator Li, can we speak in private?”

“No problem. Ye Qiu, help Junior Brother Ji settle the admission procedures. After that, bring Junior Brother Ji along to distribute flyers to attract more people over!” Li Yu instructed.

“…”

I’m the prince of the Xi Liang Dynasty, and you have the audacity to order me to hand out flyers?

“Let’s move on, Your Highness!”

After settling the matters at hand, Li Yu quickly followed Murong Xingqiao to the limit of the square and boarded her carriage.

“Is there anything important, Your Highness?” Li Yu went straight to the point.

“It’s about Ji Qinglan.” Murong Xingqiao pondered for a moment and replied.

“You must be worried that the Xi Liang Emperor will be angered and attack our Great Xia Dynasty. Don’t worry, Your Highness. I’ll handle this matter myself. And I won’t implicate the Great Xia Dynasty!” Li Yu firmly assured the crown prince.

He knew that Ji Qinglan’s identity was an issue. Everything that happened today was not as simple as winning or losing a bet between ordinary people.

This concerned the contest between countries. It was a big deal, and it involved the fate of both countries and the lives of countless citizens.

Thus, as the crown prince, Murong Xingqiao must be worried that this matter would trigger a war between the two countries.

“No, that’s not what I meant. I just want to inform you that the Great Xia Dynasty will always stand behind you and support you. If the Xi Liang people want to cause trouble, the country will have your back.

“It has been nearly a hundred years. Our Great Xia has been weak and bullied by other countries, especially the Xi Liang Dynasty. We have repeatedly given in to them, but they keep pushing their luck.

“The Great Xia Dynasty seemed to have forgotten its former glories, becoming increasingly humble and cowardly.

“Our people seem to have lost their pride, their confidence, and their morale.

“However, it will not happen again from now on.

“Today, you have helped our country achieve glory. Once the news spreads, it will definitely cheer up the people and help regain the pride of our Great Xia Dynasty.

“Over the past few days, I have also understood one thing. Our Great Xia Dynasty will never bow to anyone or any country again.

“Even if we had to fight to the last soldier, we could not lose our national integrity.

“You need not 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 sends troops to attack, we have our million soldiers of the Great Xia Dynasty!”

Murong Xingqiao’s speech was impassioned, while her gaze was firm and unshakeable.

Her words stunned Li Yu.

He really did not expect Murong Xingqiao to say such a thing.

Still, that was proof of character!

Without a doubt, Murong Xingqiao did not say fine words for the sake of it. She spoke from the bottom of her heart.

Today proved that the prodigies of the Great Xia Dynasty had surpassed the Xi Liang Dynasty. She could see the long-awaited pride and confidence on her people’s faces.

Furthermore, she had awakened a powerful physique, and the Great Xia Dynasty had young geniuses like Li Yu and Ye Qiu. Their potential was limitless.

The Wolf King Clan was no longer a threat, and the Netherworld Demon Sect had been eliminated. The Great Xia Dynasty had already resolved most of its internal threats.

Furthermore, they had the backing of that mysterious expert.

Why should they be afraid? Why should they continue to bow down to the Xi Liang people?

If the people were spineless, the Great Xia Dynasty would only exist in name.

Will the country last if the people lose their pride and confidence?

Even if the Xi Liang Dynasty was powerful, it was not invincible.

Furthermore, Ji Qinglan’s life was in their hands. Why should they be afraid that the Xi Liang Dynasty would turn their country upside down?

Hence, Murong Xingqiao reassured Li Yu and offered support to boost his confidence.

He could not let these young elites become timid again.

Of course, Murong Xingqiao said those things for a reason. Li Yu remained silent when Yu Feng attempted to frighten him just now.

She supposed that Li Yu was concerned about the possible invasion from the Xi Liang Dynasty.

“Hahaha, I’m glad to hear that, Your Highness. But don’t worry, with me around, the Xi Liang Dynasty can’t do anything!” Li Yu smiled confidently.

When it came out of his mouth, it did not seem like he was bragging at all. Instead, it was convincing.

Murong Xingqiao gazed at Li Yu. She always felt that this guy was ever so calm and collected, no matter the circumstance. As if there was nothing in the world he was afraid of.

When Li Yu and Murong Xingqiao entered the carriage, a commotion suddenly broke out in the nearby crowd near the Five Elements Sect’s recruitment station.

Someone recognized Su Mu.

That person had a loud voice, and due to his excitement, it got a little sonorous. It instantly attracted the attention of the people around him.

Su Mu’s name was already known by everyone.

He was ranked third on the Great Xia Dynasty’s 3000 Physique Rankings, a hidden prodigy who had obtained an immortal-tier cultivation technique as a reward.

Everyone was curious about him.

“Brother Sun, you’re here too!” Su Mu did not expect to meet someone familiar here.

Since he had arrived here, he was no longer afraid of being recognized.

“Ah, what a relief. At the time, I thought that everyone in Feng City was gone. 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 thrilled.

Their conversation attracted the crowd’s attention, and countless people surrounded them curiously.

“That’s Su Mu!”

“So this is Su Mu, ranked third on the Physique Rankings?” Everyone sized up Su Mu with surprise and curiosity.

Although Su Mu was in rags like a beggar, no one dared to underestimate him.

After all, he was an absolute talent, owner of the Grand Yan Dao Body who could compete with Ji Qinglan.

Furthermore, he possessed an immortal level technique. Who would dare to underestimate him?

The commotion instantly attracted the attention of the various sects.

The first to rush over was naturally the closest Five Elements Sect’s Grand Elder, Perfected Jinyang.

“Little child, you must be Su Mu!” Perfected Jinyang looked at Su Mu excitedly. “I’m the Five Elements Sect’s Elder, Perfected Jinyang. Would you like to enter the Five Elements Sect?”

Perfected Jinyang did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

“Greetings, Senior Jin Yang. I’m here today to join the Five Elements Sect!” Su Mu cupped his hands and replied with an eager look.

He had traveled a long way to join the Five Elements Sect. Now, his wish was finally going to be fulfilled.

Upon hearing Su Mu’s words, Perfected Jinyang was surprised and delighted. His old face was about to bloom with joy.

He did not expect that Su Mu would actually express his intention to join their sect. It was simply a blessing from heaven.

The commotion grew among the surrounding crowd. They did not expect Su Mu to choose the Five Elements Sect directly.

The Five Elements Sect was really unstoppable now.

The Patriarch had returned to kill the Wolf King and eliminate the Netherworld Demon Sect. It brought them fame and fortune, boosting the sect’s strength significantly.

The addition of Su Mu gave them a prodigy who could compete with the elites of the various sects in the future.

They could also obtain his Nine Pure Immortal Light Scripture.

After all, even the Jade Pure Dao Sect did not have a complete immortal-tier cultivation technique.

With this immortal level technique, the overall strength of the Five Elements Sect would probably surpass the Jade Pure Dao 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 Five Elements Sect will surely be the star of today’s recruitment event!”

“Mm, yep, I want to join the Five Elements Sect too!”

“Of course. Most people here should be vying to join the Five Elements Sect, especially now that they see Su Mu joining them. It will probably affect their decision!” Everyone discussed animatedly.

At this moment, Elder Cang Shan of the Jade Pure Dao Sect, Elder Qing Xuan of the Great Sky Dao Sect, and the elders and people in charge of the various sects rushed over after hearing the news.

Ye Qiu and Ji Qinglan were curious as they came over as well.
