56: Chapter 56 Ji Wuhui's Shock

"Junlin, Yue'er, come quickly and meet your Senior Martial Uncle Ji Wuhui."

Upon hearing this, Chu Junlin and Chu Yue quickly recovered from their shock, stepped forward, and bowed respectfully.

"Greetings, Senior Martial Uncle."

Ji Wuhui smiled as he assessed the two. "One has the Hundred Battles King Body, and the other has the Mysterious Yin Body. Not bad."

"No wonder the Great Xia Imperial Dynasty wants to form a marriage alliance with you, Junior Brother. Such an important matter, why didn't you tell Master? With him here, who would dare to bully your Great Li Dynasty?"

King Chu's face showed shame. "While at the Holy Land, I often embarrassed Master. How could I trouble him, an elder?"

"You haven't changed a bit," Ji Wuhui shook his head. Perhaps this was why Master valued Junior Brother Chu.

He then looked at Jiang Xuan, who was also observing him. "Hmm?" Ji Wuhui was slightly surprised. Just now, Chu Junlin and Chu Yue were somewhat reserved upon seeing him, but this young man was neither servile nor overbearing, showing no trace of timidity.

He instantly developed a slight interest in Jiang Xuan. Setting aside his talent, this Heart-Nature was extremely rare among his peers.

Ji Wuhui asked King Chu, "Who is this young man?"

King Chu's eyes lit up, and he quickly replied, "Senior Brother, this is the person from our Great Li Dynasty who went to the Holy Land for the selection. He was the one who discovered the Demon Race's passage."

King Chu was excited. If Jiang Xuan could catch his Senior Brother's attention and then join Master's faction, becoming a Core Disciple of the Holy Land, wouldn't Jiang Xuan then be his fellow Disciple?

As long as the Jiang Family remained in the Great Li Dynasty, the Great Li Dynasty could rest easy. What Great Xia Imperial Dynasty? They would absolutely not dare to be presumptuous.

Hearing King Chu's words, Ji Wuhui scrutinized Jiang Xuan again. "Oh? Are you saying this young man, at such a tender age, defeated all the Geniuses of your Great Li Dynasty?"

"Yes, and he did it by fighting three at once! At that time, he was only in the Spirit Infant Realm, yet he single-handedly fought three Spirit Connection Perfection cultivators," King Chu said proudly. Jiang Xuan was a person from his Great Li Dynasty; the more of a Prodigy he was, the happier King Chu felt.

What? Ji Wuhui was shocked. To defeat someone a whole major Realm higher—such a Prodigy could only be found among the Holy Land's Core Disciples. He never expected such a Genius to appear in this remote, barren land.

He found it somewhat unbelievable. The Holy Land's Core Disciples were all meticulously cultivated from a young age, never lacking in rare Heaven And Earth Treasure, Spirit Pill, and various high-Rank Cultivation Technique Secret Manuals.

Yet, Jiang Xuan, despite the scarce resources of the Great Li Dynasty, could reach such a Prodigy-level. From this perspective, wasn't he even more of a Genius than the Holy Land's Core Disciples?

Thinking of this, he decided to test Jiang Xuan. Instantly, a sovereign's pressure bore down on Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan's expression changed. He felt as if a great mountain was pressing on his back, making it hard to breathe.

He struggled not to bend his back, his Bloodline boiling. "In this world, no one can make me, your young Master, bow down!" Jiang Xuan roared in his heart.

An indomitable will instantly erupted, Bloodline Power surged within him, and a three-colored Dragon-shaped imprint appeared on his forehead. Bursts of Dragon roars echoed throughout the entire hall?

King Chu and the others quickly prostrated themselves on the ground. The King's Dragon Qi within them was like a subject encountering a monarch. It was that feeling again! What exactly did Jiang Xuan possess?

And Ji Wuhui, standing before Jiang Xuan, completely lost his composure. "This is... Dragon Clan Bloodline Power!!"

Ji Wuhui froze in place. How could this be? Could he be a descendant of the Dragon Clan and the Human Race?

He quickly withdrew his pressure. At this point, there was no need for any further testing. Just this Dragon Clan Bloodline alone—if some old geezers in the Holy Land found out, their coffin lids probably wouldn't stay shut.

No, such a Prodigy absolutely couldn't be snatched away by those old geezers. Thinking this, Ji Wuhui took out the token he had earlier and handed it to Jiang Xuan.

King Chu, standing by, his pupils constricted, said, "Senior Brother, this..."

Ji Wuhui interrupted, "Junior Brother, he is worthy. I believe Master wouldn't blame me if he knew; he might even approve of my actions."

After speaking, he looked at Jiang Xuan again. "Little brother, take this token. With it, no one in the Holy Land will dare to trouble you."

Jiang Xuan was hesitating whether to take it, but King Chu grew anxious. "Jiang Xuan, take it quickly! Ordinary people are not worthy of possessing this token."

Hearing King Chu say this, Jiang Xuan took the token. No harm in taking something offered.

Seeing Jiang Xuan accept the token, Ji Wuhui's mood instantly brightened. "Hehe, old geezers, don't blame me for getting a head start. This is all fate, hahahaha..."

By then, let's see who dares to say that my Wu Tian lineage has no one!

After settling this matter, King Chu took Ji Wuhui to the Dragon Transformation Pool. Chu Junlin also followed, and for a time, only Jiang Xuan and Chu Yue remained in the hall.

The atmosphere instantly became a bit awkward. Jiang Xuan could feel a pair of resentful eyes constantly staring at him. After a long while, Jiang Xuan, unable to bear it any longer, spoke, "Princess, I shall take my leave now."

"Wait!" Chu Yue quickly called out to Jiang Xuan. Her steps light, she came before Jiang Xuan, looking at him with deep affection. "Jiang Xuan, do you believe in love at first sight?"

Jiang Xuan stumbled, almost losing his footing. Did this line also Transmigrate with him?

"Uh, Princess, I am solely focused on my cultivation..."

"I know. I just wanted to tell you my feelings, so I wouldn wouldn't have any regrets," Chu Yue interrupted Jiang Xuan, speaking softly.

"Actually, this isn't our first meeting. In the Thundercloud Mountains of Donglin Prefecture, the day you cut down the Yao Beast horde with your sword, I was also there. Even then, I felt you were extraordinary."

"Facts prove that my judgment was indeed correct." Chu Yue suddenly smiled brightly, just looking at Jiang Xuan.

"Jiang Xuan, I heard Father and the others say that the path of cultivation is extremely dangerous. A slight slip-up can cost one's life. You must be careful."

"I will pray for you every day, hoping that one day, no matter where you go or what great figure you become, you will never forget that in the distant Great Li Dynasty, someone is still praying for you."

After speaking, Chu Yue showed a faint smile, took one last look at Jiang Xuan, and turned to leave.

Jiang Xuan looked at the delicate back of the beautiful woman, his eyes complex, and his lips moved slightly. "Thank you..."

Chu Yue's delicate body trembled slightly as she reached the doorway. A tear slipped from the corner of her eye, scattering into the air with the wind.

On his way back, Jiang Xuan's mind was filled with the events of the day. He recalled what the Crown Prince of Great Xia had said and sneered in his heart, "Heh heh, Crown Prince of Great Xia, Xia Wudao, wants me to suffer a fate worse than death? During the Holy Land assessment, I'll let you taste that feeling first."

Xia Wudao, who was currently fleeing, had no idea what kind of madman he had truly provoked.

This very madman would one day become his nightmare and the culprit responsible for the destruction of his Great Xia Imperial Dynasty!

[Ding, detecting the host's current predicament, the following mission is issued: A gentleman's revenge is never too late, even after ten years. The host is not a gentleman and cannot wait ten years.]

[Mission: Cripple Xia Wudao's cultivation during the Holy Land assessment.]

Looking at the new mission, a cruel smile appeared at the corner of Jiang Xuan's mouth. "Cripple his cultivation, huh? That's not enough. He wants me to suffer a fate worse than death, so how can I be so 'kind' as to merely cripple his cultivation?"
