"The Emperor of Heaven carries the edict: Kunping, the leader of the Kunji Sect, accepts the edict..."
"Your Majesty, Kunping accepts the order."
As a heavenly powerhouse in the Tianquan Realm, Kunping, like the vast majority of warriors registered with the imperial court at the third level or above, enjoys the salary and noble privileges provided by the imperial court every year. Although he does not have any real power, he has glory and Benefit.
For example, the Kunji Sect's many sect industries in Yungui Country need noble privileges to operate every year, which can make it more convenient and even reduce taxes.
Therefore, it is impossible to say that Kunping was not nervous at all when the emperor's decree came.
The eunuch continued to read the imperial edict loudly.
"...I am very relieved to hear that my imperial grandson is rigorous, wise, intelligent, and has unparalleled qualifications. He has attained enlightenment from the Kunji Stone.
Therefore, I have given you thousands of pearls and ten thousand taels of gold...I admire this."
Kunping's mind was racing with thoughts, and his nervousness dissipated. He could only stand up with a smile to receive the order, then he called the elders around him, took care of the eunuchs who came to deliver the order, and took the opportunity to get the news.
"Eunuch Xu, although Young Master Yan Jing has indeed had an opportunity, why did he alert the Holy Emperor so quickly? And with such great fanfare..."
It should be noted that the imperial capital is tens of thousands of miles away, and Chu Yanjin here only got the opportunity to find the Enlightenment Stone. It is impossible for the news to reach the palace through ordinary channels.
Unless there is a royal warlock like the Guigu sect who happens to get the news, and then uses the art of heaven to transmit the news through the establishment of "Supervisory Sky Towers" in various places, the news can be conveyed so quickly.
In Yunnan and Guizhou, the only one that can achieve this level of message transmission speed is the "Hulong Canal" in Hulong Villa.
And the most important thing is that the emperor did not hesitate to use the power of the country's destiny to convey the imperial edict from the 'Ting Sheng Jian', which is enough to show that he attaches great importance to this matter.
The eunuch, who had fair skin, took advantage of it with a skillful smile after hearing the words, and reminded with a smile, "Don't you understand what the emperor means, Master Kun?
Your Majesty is showing favor to Young Master Rigorous... It is said that Young Master is in your sect now, so you must entertain him well and don't neglect him."
Kunping's heart tightened, and he nodded with a smile on his face, "That's right, of course I won't neglect you, sir. Please rest assured, my father-in-law and the emperor!"
Kunping, who had been watching the team delivering the order leave, raised his head to look at the setting sun on the horizon, his brows furrowed, and his heart filled with suspicion.
“Is it possible that the news Chu Yanjin spread through Hulong Villa alarmed the Emperor?
If this is really the case... This son is too cautious, and he doesn't even hesitate to alarm the mighty king..."
After much thought, he could only find such a reasonable and speechless explanation.
Otherwise, except King Mighty, who could so quickly alert the Holy One to personally deliver the decree.
This seems to be a reward, but in fact it is a beating. Fortunately, fortunately, the ancestor did not do anything.
"Could it be that the ancestor had expected this and proposed the ten-year agreement...this..."
...
"What? Chu Yanjin made an appointment to fight the bandit Qingkong, today, right now?"
The Eighth Prince Chu Feng collapsed in the courtyard. When his subordinates came to report, Chu Feng stood up and said in surprise, "Where is the date of the battle?"
"Your Majesty, it's at Fengwei Pavilion at the foot of the mountain."
"Go, go quickly!"
Chu Ying also looked happy and came closer, but hesitantly said, "Brother Feng, this Chu Yanjin looks like a playboy, but in fact he is cunning and cunning, and his behavior is very secretive. Could he be sure of his sudden appointment with the bandit Qingkong?"
Chu Feng was alert, but he quickly shook his head and patted Chu Ying on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Chu Ying, you are worrying too much. This Chu Yanjin must have just broken through the Yaoguang realm and was overconfident in his own strength, so he dared to make this misjudgment.
Yes, I admit that his combat prowess is extraordinary and he was able to put me at a disadvantage in the Dongming Realm, but that was just relying on the power of his Whale-Swallowing Wuji Kung Fu.
But who is Qingkong?
Ranked sixty-six on the China Talent List, Yaoguang's mid-stage strength.
The Divine Palm of Fire and the Flame Sword Technique are both heaven-level and earth-level martial arts of the Fire Sword Sect. The Fire Qi is even more intense and unusual. To restrain the swallowing Wuji Kung Fu, Chu Yanjin can't say that he has nothing to lose when he fights him.
The odds of winning can only be said to be...not very hopeful..."
He paused for a moment, his eyes were filled with coldness, and he said coldly, "Now I'm just worried that this gangster brother won't be willing to do anything serious."
When Chu Ying heard this, he immediately gained a lot of confidence and nodded slightly.
The two met each other at first sight and both quickly went down the mountain.
...
The news that the mighty young prince Chu Yanjin made an appointment to fight with the fierce swordsman Qing Kong in Fengwei Pavilion spread to ten people, and then to a hundred people.
In an instant, it swept through the entire north and south peaks of Kunji Sect like a hurricane.
If before this, many Kun Ji Sect disciples and geniuses from various sects, even if they wanted to see Xiaodao Lord Qingkong's strength, they only came here because of Qingkong.
As for Chu Yanjin, the emperor's grandson, he could only be treated as a foil at best.
However, after a long time of spreading and fermentation, no one in the Kunji Sect now knows that an imperial grandson named Chu Yanjin has successfully obtained the inheritance from the Kunji Enlightenment Stone.
Even the Kunji Enlightenment Stone cracked because of this, and no one will be able to understand the Kunji Enlightenment Stone from now on.
For a while.
Many disciples and even elders of the Kunji Sect were all very curious about this imperial grandson.
Therefore, not long after the news of the emperor's grandson's appointment to fight the bandit Qingkong came out, the area around Fengwei Pavilion was already completely surrounded.
On the branches of many trees, there are some Kunji Sect disciples with outstanding light skills hanging on them.
Even before the two protagonists for the fight arrived, Fengwei Tower was already bustling with activity, and buzzing buzzing around the mountains and forests, like countless bees swarming around.
"Brother Zhao, you are well-informed and have great vision. Tell us, how strong is the emperor's grandson? What are the chances of winning against the bandit Qingkong?"
"Harm! Brother Sun, you can ask this question, but do you still need to ask it?"
I heard that the emperor’s grandson just broke through to the Yaoguang realm today, and Qingkong Qingkong is a top expert in the middle Yaoguang stage. I think... this emperor’s grandson is Xuan.”
"Yes, I actually heard that the emperor's grandson had no choice but to accept the challenge. A few days ago, Bandit Qingkong invited him to fight. This young master has been in seclusion and never accepted the challenge. Now he has become famous again after he came out of seclusion. As a result, Bandit Qingkong is still fighting.
Come on, do you think we can refuse to fight? No matter how slim the odds of winning are, we still have to fight."
"The bandit Qingkong also doesn't have the integrity of a master. A few days ago, it seems that the emperor's grandson has not yet stepped into the Yaoguang realm, and he actually asked for a fight..."
"Keep your voice down. According to reports, this matter is related to the Eighth Prince. Qingkong is trying to stand up for the Eighth Prince. He was in the restaurant before..."
While a group of people were buzzing and discussing, a commotion gradually came from the mountain road.
It turns out that the figure of Qingkong, the lord of Fiery Knife, has appeared.
His whole person had a calm aura, and he walked like an old tree with its roots. He was even and steady, as if he could pull out a sheathed sword at any time and cut through the obstacles with a shocking strike. His aura forced everyone watching the excitement to move to both sides to get out of the way.
Not long after.
Qi Yunhai, the swordsman of the Supreme Sword Sect, as well as Guigu Wusheng, Long Qingzhu, He Cailing and other young masters also arrived one after another.
The atmosphere gradually became solemn and tense.
The bandit Qingkong entered the pavilion holding a knife and sat cross-legged.
He held the sword across his knees, lowered his head and caressed the sword, and said softly: "Longquan Tai, you know me."
After saying this, his eyes closed slightly, and his whole body seemed to have become one with the sword. He turned away from the hundreds of attention-seeking eyes around him and quickly entered the extremely tranquil state of mind of the sword.
The war is about to break out!
The sunset is as red as blood.
The setting sun is like a burning charcoal fire.
The purple sunset covered everyone's heads like a velvet blanket, depressing yet full of excitement.
Bandit Qingkong has decided to go all out.
But, it's not that he wants to take heavy action.
But he already had a premonition that this battle would not be easy.
If you hesitate to hold back, you may lose.
Even if he showed an air of belittling Chu and being rigorous, it was just a job to show off to the Eighth Prince.
Bandit Qingkong knew it in his heart.
This imperial grandson who has repeatedly performed astonishing feats must hold his own since he dares to challenge for a fight!
And I don’t want to lose my reputation and the favor of King Beixi!
Otherwise, after today, who will know who his bandit Qingkong is?
This is exactly what it means: The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, only paying attention to clothes and not people...
