541: Zhang refused to be recruited and left the restricted area

"Fellow Daoist, you must be Li Mingxuan. You have quite the spirit. I wonder if you've considered joining my Dragon Tiger Mountain?" a gentle voice was the first to speak.

"Zhang Yuan, you damn Daoist, are you trying to poach people?"

Immediately after, a rough voice came, carrying a hint of humor and dissatisfaction.

As soon as Li Mingxuan opened his eyes, he saw a strange scene before him.

He saw a small Daoist priest with clear eyes and handsome features, wearing a Daoist robe. The robe was spotless and embroidered with some strange runes.

Beside him stood a burly man. The man's muscles bulged, and his full beard made him look very rough.

At this moment, they were shoving each other like two children, attracting many curious glances from the surrounding people.

"Hmph, Xiaoshan River, what do you mean by poaching? This young Master is just making a normal invitation!"

The Daoist priest named Zhang Yuan glanced at the big man and retorted.

After speaking, the Daoist priest named Zhang Yuan actually started wrestling with the burly man.

However, anyone with a discerning eye could tell they were just joking. Although their movements looked intense, they lacked any real aggression.

"Sirs, if you have something to say, why not speak clearly!"

Li Ming Xuan felt the increasing number of curious and concerned gazes from the surroundings, and he had to speak up to separate the two.

Sure enough, as soon as he spoke, the two immediately separated as if they had heard a command.

Zhang Yuan tidied his slightly messy Daoist robe, and just as he was about to speak, Xiaoshan River spoke first.

"Brother Li Mingxuan, I am Xiaoshan River from Haoran Martial Hall.

Our Hall Master thinks highly of you and wants you to join our Haoran Martial Hall.

He said if I successfully recruit you, he'll teach me his ultimate boxing technique.

As long as you agree to help me trick my Master, we can learn that boxing technique together, and I can even spar with you. How about it!"

Xiaoshan River spoke with great enthusiasm, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.

Zhang Yuan on the side was speechless, and even Li Mingxuan had a look of astonishment.

He had naturally heard of Haoran Martial Hall. Ever since Xiao Feng of Haoran Martial Hall broke through to the King Realm, its reputation soared, and it had numerous disciples throughout the Great Xia Alliance.

And this Xiaoshan River was also a rare Genius, being one of Xiao Feng's only two direct disciples.

At only twenty-five, he had already broken through to the Martial Lord stage, achieving something most people would never reach in a lifetime.

But looking at the rough big man in front of him with that full beard, he couldn't help but wonder?

"Is this guy really only 25? Isn't he a bit too eager?"

But that was just a fleeting thought. "Thank you both for thinking so highly of me. I don't have any plans to join a force yet, I hope you two don't mind."

Xiaoshan River showed a look of regret but didn't press further. "What a pity, but everyone has their own aspirations. I won't force you. I hope we'll have a chance to spar."

Li Mingxuan seeing that the other party had no ill intentions and spoke politely, didn't refuse.

"Of course. I also very much want to spar with Brother Xiao."

Haoran Martial Hall is most famous for its boxing techniques, so it's likely that Xiaoshan River's boxing is definitely not weak.

"Fellow Daoist Li, you are welcome to visit my Dragon Tiger Mountain anytime. Then we won't bother you any further."

After speaking, Zhang Yuan and Xiaoshan River said their goodbyes and left. Li Mingxuan continued to close his eyes and rest.

And Ye Lingxiao and the others who witnessed this scene from afar also felt inexplicably relieved. One must know that both Haoran Martial Hall and Dragon Tiger Mountain had experts in the King Realm.

If Li Mingxuan were to join either side, he would have the protection of the King Realm. At that time, even their Four Great Families wouldn't dare to act recklessly.

After all, what they did was not presentable. Once exposed, their Four Great Families would definitely be affected and might even be thoroughly investigated by the Martial Security Bureau.

Just now, they also saw that Li Mingxuan seemed to be acquainted with a Prodigy from the Martial Security Bureau. That person seemed to be called Ye Jun, also a dark horse that appeared out of nowhere and should not be underestimated.

"This Li Mingxuan, a mere commoner, is not only acquainted with a Prodigy from the Martial Security Bureau but can also attract recruitment from Dragon Tiger Mountain and Haoran Martial Hall."

Li Hongyu's face showed apprehension. "There's absolutely no way we can let him continue to grow. We must eliminate him quickly."

Hearing this, the killing intent in Ye Lingxiao's eyes intensified, but he hid it very well.

"The Blood-colored Grassland is our chance. We will make sure he dies without anyone knowing."

About fifteen minutes passed, during which many people entered one after another.

These people had sharp gazes and didn't reveal their aura, but Li Mingxuan and the other young Martial Lords felt the pressure.

They knew that among the hundred slots for Martial Lords, only twenty were like them; the rest were naturally the elites among elites.

Moreover, apart from more than ten people in strange attire, who were likely experts from allied nations, the rest were all wearing unified standard combat uniforms.

These people were all experts from the Military Department and the Martial Security Bureau. Just then, six figures instantly flashed and appeared in the center of the square.

Dragon King Oriental Ling, Prince Wuan Lan Cang, former Prince Wuan Bai Yuan, Duanmu Yan from Star Technology, and one newly promoted expert in the King Realm each from the Military Department and the Martial Security Bureau.

"Everyone, this time Senior Bai Yuan will personally lead the team. Anyone who dares to disobey will be dealt with by military law!"

"Yes!"

Everyone in the square shouted in unison. Although Bai Yuan had retired to the background, no one questioned his prestige and influence.

Soon, a massive spaceship, a hundred meters long and over twenty meters high, appeared above the Military Department.

The four Martial Kings leading the team this time were Bai Yuan, Duanmu Yan, Zhao Qianyuan in the King Realm from the Military Department, and Situ Wu in the King Realm from the Martial Security Bureau!

Everyone flashed and flew into it. Duanmu Yan then stepped out. "This is the latest research achievement of my Star Technology. It will only take two days to reach the Blood-colored Grassland.

Information such as rooms has already been sent to everyone. If you need anything, you can directly communicate with the smart butler in your room."

Afterwards, Bai Yuan gave some instructions on precautions, and everyone dispersed to their respective places.

Some returned to their rooms, while others overlooked the area from the deck of the flying ship.

Li Mingxuan didn't return to his room but walked to the side and looked around, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He didn't expect the flying speed of this Star Technology's ship to be even faster than his. It was probably faster than even ordinary experts at the Wu Jun Late Stage.

"As expected of Star Technology. I can go check it out later. Maybe they even have some magical technology for finding people."

At the same time, on the other side of Great Xia, above the vast blue ocean, as space rippled, a hideous giant insect broke through the air.

On the back of this giant insect stood two figures, one male and one female. They were Li Wuji and Galan.

"This is the place!"

Li Wuji looked down, his eyes shimmering as if they could penetrate everything.

"Let's go, let's see this Life Forbidden Zone under the sea!"

After speaking, a stream of light flashed around the Magic Gu beneath his feet, followed by an invisible protective shield enveloping the two of them.

The next second, the two people and one Gu directly plunged into the endless ocean, disappearing shortly after.
