364: Chapter 364 The Fourth Prodigy

The scene erupted in an uproar! It was as if a pot had boiled over!

"What!?"

"The Prince of Zhenbei!?"

"The Prince of Zhenbei, Lin Xiao, who slaughtered the barbarians, conquered Western Qiang, expanded our territory, and achieved unparalleled military exploits!?"

"He really came to attend the Tianwu Grand Tournament!?"

Even though they were martial artists, they were still subjects of the Great Gan. Most of them admired the Prince of Zhenbei, who had brought pride and glory to the people of the Central Plains!

In an instant, hundreds of martial artists at the scene flocked towards Lin Xiao.

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

"Paying respects to the Prince of Zhenbei!"

"Long live the Prince! The Zhenbei Army is mighty!!"

"Your Highness, I want to join the Zhenbei Army, please take me in..."

For a moment, the scene was chaotic.

Taoist Master Cangshuzi's face turned green with fright. He hurriedly glared at the crowd and roared:

"Everyone, back off! The Prince is a distinguished guest of the Daoist Sect. If anyone disturbs the Prince, don't blame me for being impolite!"

One had to know that the current Lin Xiao was even more untouchable than when he was seen a year ago.

He was not only a Great Grandmaster but also the King of the North, and possibly the future hegemon of the world...

Taoist Master Cangshuzi considered himself a legend of the martial arts world, but in the face of Lin Xiao, he felt respect and fear from the bottom of his bones.

He had to admit it; Lin Xiao was just too formidable!

Only then did the crowd calm down. Everyone suddenly realized that the person they were facing was the "God of War of the Northern Border"!

Seeing that Lin Xiao looked visibly impatient, the group hurriedly retreated.

"Daoist Master, have you been waiting for me for a while?"

Once it was quiet, Lin Xiao asked.

Daoist Cang Zhu hurriedly smiled and said: "Indeed. My master gave instructions beforehand that for this tournament, the Prince and the Princess are the most distinguished guests and must be well taken care of."

"I dared not neglect this, so I brought my disciples to wait since this morning. However, we didn't see the Prince's party for a long time, so I even sent people out to search for ten miles..."

"I never expected that the Prince would not take the usual main road, but instead chose the old, quiet path. It is truly a refined and elegant choice that I admire!"

If anyone else had said this, it would be just flattery, but coming from Daoist Cang Zhu's status, it made all the women unable to hold back their laughter.

Lin Xiao sighed. Who said the martial arts world was only about fighting and killing? Wasn't this just worldly wisdom?

There was a reason this old Daoist could become the sect leader!

"Alright, while it's not dark yet, take me and my wives up for a stroll!"

"It is my honor to lead the way for the Prince and the Princess!"

Daoist Cang Zhu hurriedly bowed and gestured: "Please, Your Highness!"

Several disciples on the side quickly helped arrange the carriages and carry the luggage, fawning over them.

One had to know that they were all elite inner sect disciples of the Daoist Sect, and two of them were even participating in the Tianwu Grand Tournament.

Yet in front of the Prince of Zhenbei, they were only fit to do odd jobs. Even so, it was their honor! They were more than willing!

"I didn't get this kind of treatment when I came with my father back then," Mu Wanying whispered with emotion.

"That's natural. Even in General Mu's most glorious times, he was far inferior to our husband," Zhao Caiwei said with a smile.

"That's true!" Mu Wanying nodded.

Lin Xiao was already a legend on the Tianwu Continent and the hero most worshipped by countless people.

Coupled with the six stunning beauties of various styles, including Xiao Qingxuan, they naturally attracted all the attention.

Dai Yunchuan, who had been very prominent, stood there, watching his sides suddenly become empty, his expression extremely ugly.

What made him even more embarrassed was that even his own maid and page boy were looking at Lin Xiao with longing eyes.

After Daoist Master Cangshuzi led Lin Xiao's party up the mountain, the crowd reluctantly retreated.

When they saw Dai Yunchuan standing on his carpet, the crowd suddenly lost "interest."

In fact, looking at Dai Yunchuan's pretentious attitude, they found it quite absurd!

The Prince of Zhenbei was walking up the mountain with his own two feet on the mud, who do you think you are?

Let's disperse, let's disperse!

Dai Yunchuan sensed the sarcasm in everyone's eyes, and his expression became even gloomier.

He didn't want to stay at the foot of the mountain for a moment longer, so he didn't bother to step off the carpet and hurried up the mountain.

"Stop!"

The two Daoists guarding the mountain gate directly blocked Dai Yunchuan.

"The Sect Leader has said that the accommodations on the mountain are full. Please spend the night at the foot of the mountain and come up tomorrow."

Dai Yunchuan's face flushed red. "I... I am Dai Yunchuan from the prodigy rankings, representing the Academy in the tournament. You'd better see clearly who I am!"

The two Daoists remained unmoved.

"Young Master Dai, we recognize you, but the mountain is truly full. You have seen it yourself; the Prince of Zhenbei has many family members, and we certainly cannot mistreat the Princess and his wives."

"Actually, if you had come half a day earlier, you could have had a spot, but the key is that you came late..."

Dai Yunchuan's expression was awkward. The reason he came late was that he felt coming too early would not be dignified enough.

Who would have thought that the Daoist Sect's guest rooms would be in such short supply!?

"Then what should I do now? Do you expect this young master to sleep in a carriage!?" Dai Yunchuan demanded.

A Daoist suggested: "How about you go to the mountainside? There is a utility room there for storing firewood. Although it is simple, it can shelter you from the wind and snow. What do you think..."

"How outrageous!"

Dai Yunchuan was trembling with rage: "You dare to make this young master stay in a firewood room? Are you looking for death!?"

Now the two middle-aged Daoists' faces darkened.

Suddenly, two powerful waves of True Qi pressure enveloped Dai Yunchuan.

"Young Master Dai, our Daoist Sect disciples may be a bit low-key, but we are still one of the Five Great Sects. I ask you to watch your words."

"We brothers are guarding the gate here. You don't think... it's because we are easy to bully, do you?"

Dai Yunchuan looked closely and realized that these two Daoists were wearing cyan Daoist robes. In terms of rank, they were already at the level of inner sect disciples just below the yellow-robed elders.

If they really fought, he might not be able to beat even one of them.

Helplessly, Dai Yunchuan had to lower his head and turn back to his carriage.

Along the way, the various "snickering" sounds around him were like piercing steel needles, making him wish he could dig a hole in the ground and hide!

On the other side, Lin Xiao did not know that his family had unintentionally taken away Dai Yunchuan's accommodation spot.

The fourth place in the prodigy rankings being reduced to sleeping at the foot of the mountain was indeed rare in the history of the Tianwu Grand Tournament.

Daoist Cang Zhu led the group up to the summit of Wendao Peak while explaining the scenery and historical anecdotes.

It was just evening time.

The afterglow of the sunset, like colorful spiritual light, illuminated the entire mountain range, making it look like clouds steaming and mist rising, magnificent in every way!

"It's so beautiful, Husband..."

Xiao Qingxuan asked herself, she had seen many famous mountains and rivers in Western Shu, but none compared to the magnificence of Wendao Peak.

Lin Xiao reached out and wrapped his arm around her slender waist. "My beloved, I will show you something even more beautiful!"

After speaking, Lin Xiao tapped his foot on the ground, and a powerful wave of True Qi propelled both of them into the air!

Seeing this domineering, boundless leap, Daoist Cang Zhu felt goosebumps all over his body!

Does he even need to learn lightfoot skills with this? He's just relying on sheer power to soar into the sky!!

This Prince of Zhenbei's martial arts are completely unreasonable!

The other women were envious, but they were not jealous, because they knew that as long as they wanted to, Lin Xiao would take them for a ride too.

At this moment, Lin Xiao had already brought his woman above the endless clouds!

Relying on continuous bursts of True Qi to leap, the two of them were as if suspended thousands of meters in the high air.

The freezing temperature did not make Xiao Qingxuan feel the slightest bit uncomfortable; on the contrary, she felt right at home.

Lin Xiao hugged his beloved wife and engaged in some intimacy, making Xiao Qingxuan's whole body go weak.

Being able to have such an experience, Xiao Qingxuan felt that this trip was already worth it.

And just at this moment, Lin Xiao suddenly noticed something...

"Huh?"

He turned his head and saw that from the high sky in the distance, something was rapidly approaching.
