55: Someone came from Zhang Shengdi.
Inside the main hall, Chu Junlin and the others' faces instantly turned pale. Xia Wudao! How did he come back?
The King of Chu's expression was grim, and he felt humiliated. This Xia Wudao was truly too lawless, daring to act recklessly within the Great Li Imperial Palace, completely disregarding him.
He could no longer hold back. He took a step forward and sternly shouted, "Xia Wudao, what exactly do you want? This is my Great Li Imperial Palace! You and I are both under the jurisdiction of the Holy Land. Don't you fear the Holy Land's wrath for such actions?"
Xia Wudao's expression was cold, and his tone was chilling. "That's a question I should be asking you! I heard everything you said outside, Crown Prince.
You clearly have a marriage agreement with my Great Xia, and now you want to marry her off to someone else. Where does Great Li place my Great Xia? I'd like to ask you, on what grounds? On his grounds?"
Xia Wudao pointed at Jiang Xuan with a disdainful look. "A good-for-nothing in the Early Stage of God Transformation Realm, is that your confidence?"
He felt deeply insulted. He didn't understand why Great Li would offend Great Xia for a mere youth in the Early Stage of God Transformation Realm.
Earlier, he had sent his middle-aged servant to investigate Chu Yue's recent odd behavior. From Chu Yue's personal maid, he forced out the information that she had been constantly muttering about someone recently.
Upon hearing this news, Xia Wudao immediately felt completely cuckolded and rushed to confront the King of Chu. As a result, he overheard outside that the King of Chu was planning to marry Chu Yue to someone else.
He was instantly furious. The dignified Crown Prince of Great Xia was actually being deceived by a small Great Li Dynasty in such a way.
Hearing Xia Wudao question him in return, the King of Chu angrily said, "What marriage agreement! If you hadn't threatened the lives of all the people of the Great Li Dynasty back then, would we have agreed to this marriage?"
And besides, you only wanted to marry Yue'er because you valued her Physique. Stop pretending here!"
Since he had decided to break ties, he no longer pretended to be submissive. He pointed at Xia Wudao and cursed him.
Xia Wudao's expression darkened, and killing intent permeated his heart. "Good, good, good. I originally wanted to give your Great Li some face, but since you don't know what's good for you, I, the Crown Prince, will take it myself!"
"Uncle Wu! Cripple the cultivation of all of them, especially that kid. Sever his tendons and ligaments; I want him to suffer a fate worse than death!"
"Remember not to harm Chu Yue, for she is my Cauldron."
"Yes!"
The middle-aged man stepped forward, his eyes gleaming with cold light.
The King of Chu's expression was greatly alarmed. "Xia Wudao, how dare you! Jiang Xuan is representing my Great Li to participate in the Holy Land's assessment. If you dare to touch him, you are going against the Holy Land!"
"Hahahaha..." Xia Wudao seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world.
"Participating in the Holy Land selection? Just him? King of Chu, your Great Li is becoming increasingly useless. A good-for-nothing in the Early Stage of God Transformation Realm can actually represent your Great Li to participate in the selection."
"Are all the Geniuses of your Great Li Dynasty a bunch of good-for-nothings?"
"With his strength, going would be pointless. I'm just helping the Holy Land filter out some trash in advance."
The King of Chu's expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected Xia Wudao to be so arrogant, completely disregarding the Holy Land's rules.
He flashed in front of Jiang Xuan and said sincerely, "Jiang Xuan, my Great Li has implicated you. In a moment, I will fight to the death to block that Imperial Expert. With your strength, escaping should not be a problem."
After speaking, the King of Chu released his aura, his expression resolute.
Jiang Xuan turned his head to glance at him. This old man was quite righteous at a crucial moment. He smiled, and secretly opened the System Shop in his mind. Ever since he Broke Through to the God Transformation Realm, the System Shop's Rank had also increased.
He searched for a way to resolve the current predicament.
"Got it, Universe Transfer Talisman!" It can instantly transfer oneself a thousand miles away, and can take a maximum of five people. 5000 limit points.
Jiang Xuan was overjoyed. That's the one! An Imperial Expert was not someone he could deal with right now. Even if he had the confidence to kill the two of them, it would bring endless trouble. After all, it was one of the four Imperial Dynasties, and its strength should not be underestimated.
Could he really have to keep hiding? That wasn't his personality. For now, he could only temporarily leave and find a way to join the Holy Land and become a Core Disciple.
That way, the Imperial Dynasty wouldn't be able to do anything to him. Once his strength was sufficient, he would go and wipe them out.
Thinking of this, he prepared to spend five thousand limit points to exchange for the talisman and take the others with him.
Just then, another voice came from outside the main hall. "Heh heh, so lively."
A handsome young man slowly walked into the main hall, a smile on his face, giving people a refreshing feeling.
Seeing the newcomer, the King of Chu's expression lit up, and he quickly stepped forward to greet him. "Senior Brother Ji, why have you come!"
"Heh heh, the Holy Land received your message and took it very seriously. Considering that you are Revered Master's Disciple, they sent me to take a look," the young man said with a smile.
The King of Chu was excited, then immediately felt ashamed. "Alas, it's all my fault for being foolish back then. After several years, my cultivation has progressed slowly, and I have always been an Outer Sect Disciple of the Holy Land."
"I've disgraced Revered Master."
The young man waved his hand indifferently. "Junior Brother, you don't have to worry. Don't you understand Revered Master? He never looks at talent when taking Disciples. Which of us Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers is a person of extraordinary talent?"
"Alright, we'll catch up later. Let's resolve the current matter first."
After speaking, the young man turned his head to look at Xia Wudao and the other person. His smile receded, and his expression was calm. "Crown Prince of Great Xia, what a grand display of power. You can even disregard the Holy Land's rules."
Xia Wudao's expression darkened. The middle-aged man beside him whispered, "Crown Prince, I can't see through this person. His strength is probably not beneath mine."
With a shock in his heart, Xia Wudao's gloomy expression instantly gave way to a hint of a smile. He cupped his hands respectfully and said, "May I ask which Senior Brother from the Holy Land has graced us with his presence? Many of my elders from Great Xia cultivate in the Holy Land; perhaps they know Senior Brother."
The implication was that he also had connections in the Holy Land, so the young man shouldn't be too arrogant.
The young man's expression was playful. "What, trying to use those people to pressure me?"
After speaking, his expression became extremely cold. "Swish!" A token suddenly appeared before the two of them.
Xia Wudao looked at the token with confusion, while the middle-aged man beside him had a drastic change in expression, his pupils constricting, and his body trembling uncontrollably.
"This is... whose Disciple are you?"
The young man's tone was cold. "You know now? Then get out!"
"Yes, yes, yes..." The middle-aged man dared not delay. He grabbed the still confused Xia Wudao and quickly flew out of the hall.
Watching the two leave, the young man turned his head back, a smile returning to his face.
The King of Chu's expression was calm; he was not surprised by the middle-aged man's actions. He shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "Revered Master's prestige is still as strong as ever. This time, thank you, Senior Brother. If it weren't for you, my Great Li Dynasty would probably cease to exist."
"Hahahaha, we're family, no need to be polite," the young man said, looking at Chu Junlin and the others. "Junior Brother, are these your children? Aren't you going to introduce them to Senior Brother?"
