Chapter 684: Chapter 678: No Rush (3rd Update)
Every time the court official announced a name, the expressions of the four to five hundred top elites of Xuanfeng Dynasty would subtly change within the great hall.
As the court official’s voice finally fell silent, the atmosphere in the great hall became more solidified.
The other three dynasties had actually sent their princes to congratulate the Seventh Princess.
In particular, Wanlong Dynasty had three top-tier talents arriving with great momentum!
Soon.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes.
Three groups of people appeared at the entrance of the great hall.
The most numerous were naturally from Wanlong Dynasty, a total of nine people. Qin Tu and the other two had brought guards or maids with them.
The second most populous was from True Immortal Dynasty, with a total of five people.
Zhengwu Dynasty only had two representatives, the First Prince Yang Chi and a humble old man with his head bowed.
Su Chen’s gaze swept across the hall, lingering for a moment longer on Wanlong Dynasty’s Fourth Prince Qin Tu, the Saint Heir of Heavenly Fang Sect Wu Li from Wanlong Dynasty’s First-Rank Power, and the First Prince Liu Zhi from True Immortal Dynasty.
Because these three were the strongest!
Among them, Qin Tu, at the mid phase of the Seventh Level Realm of the Creation Realm, exuded a very dense and steadfast aura, clearly not one whose realm had been artificially inflated with elixirs.
Of course, at thirty-four, Qin Tu was not young, and thus, he couldn’t be considered a top prodigy.
If one spoke of the talent for martial cultivation, a thirty-four-year-old at the Seventh Level of the Creation Realm held a worth similar to that of Xuanfeng Dynasty’s Third Prince Chu Hong, who was twenty-nine and at the Sixth Level, if not slightly inferior.
But no matter what, the mid phase of the Seventh Level of the Creation Realm was still incredibly powerful, almost enough to intimidate the entire great hall.
As for Wu Li, he was quite young at only twenty-seven, in the early phase of the Sixth Level of the Creation Realm, a top-level prodigy with slightly stronger talent than Chu Hong. He was arrogant, walking into the great hall with his head slightly raised and a dismissive look in his eyes.
Then there was Liu Zhi, as the First Prince of True Immortal Dynasty, his demeanor was somewhat peculiar, giving off a simple and honest impression, with a constant smile on his face that made him seem harmless.
But if you really believed that, you’d be gravely mistaken, for Su Chen could faintly sense from Liu Zhi’s fully retracted aura that a rich scent of blood was mixed into it; the number of people who had died by his hands must have been enormous.
Moreover, at twenty-nine, Liu Zhi was at the early phase of the Sixth Level of the Creation Realm, the same realm and age as Chu Hong.
"This will be interesting to watch," Su Chen chuckled to himself, sharing his thoughts with Jiuyou.
Su Chen himself took the situation seriously, and other talents from the Xuanfeng Dynasty in the great hall were even more anxious.
In fact, some began to bow their heads, not daring to meet eyes, frightened by the terrifying talents sent by Wanlong Dynasty as congratulatory representatives from the three dynasties!!!
Even leaving aside Qin Tu, Wu Li, and Liu Zhi, others like Zhan Qu, Li Pan, and Yang Chi were also formidable, all at the base level of the Fifth Layer of the Creation Realm!
"Greetings to the Emperor! Greetings to Consort Yun!" Soon, Qin Tu and the others reached the middle of the great hall, bowing with neither arrogance nor humility, impressively showing slightly more respect towards Consort Yun.
Narrowing his eyes, Su Chen could now confirm that Consort Yun indeed possessed a powerful family background from the ancient city of the Nan’e Ancient Kingdom.
The Xuanfeng Emperor nodded with a smile, saying, "Your concern is appreciated, young masters!"
"Wishing the Seventh Princess happiness and joy!" Thereafter, Qin Tu and the others turned to look at the Seventh Princess and extended their wishes.
The Seventh Princess was very polite, standing up to return each salutation.
"Let’s drink and eat. Haha..." Following that, the Xuanfeng Emperor laughed heartily, "No need to be reserved!"
Following that, a grand scene of song and dance unfolded.
It was bustling with excitement.
However, the geniuses of the Xuanfeng Empire within the great hall had heavy hearts.
Everyone knew that the real spectacle was yet to come. The other three dynasties from the South E Ancient Kingdom did not send these princes and monsters just to offer congratulations to the Seventh Princess.
As expected.
After about the time it takes two incense sticks to burn.
"I have long heard that the Xuanfeng Dynasty boasts an abundance of talents. Today, seeing is believing. I am itching for a challenge myself. I wonder if any of the talented individuals from the Xuanfeng Dynasty would like to spar with me, Wu Li. It could be considered a contribution to the celebration of the Seventh Princess," Wu Li said outright, lifting his head slightly, his arrogance laced with provocation and disdain as his gaze swiftly scrutinized the geniuses present.
In an instant, the great hall transformed from the previous bustle into silence, where the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.
"Hmm!" The Xuanfeng Emperor hummed in response, seemingly in agreement.
Not agreeing was not an option. To disagree would be to show fear or concede defeat, and that would be a joke. He, the magnanimous Xuanfeng Emperor, would never show fear or concede defeat.
However, the Xuanfeng Emperor’s mood was still very heavy and furious.
He was weighed down by the fact that the top prodigies of the Xuanfeng Dynasty were clearly inferior to the likes of Wu Li and Qin Tu.
And his fury stemmed from Wu Li’s pride and scorn. freewebnøvel.com
"What’s the matter? None of the geniuses utter a word. Do you look down on Mr. Wu?" The next moment, seeing no one speak up or step forward, Wu Li’s smile grew thicker, "Or are you perhaps afraid? You need not fear! Mr. Wu promises that this will be a friendly spar, and I will certainly not strike with full force!"
The word ’fear’ was heavily emphasized by Wu Li.
In the hall, many had unpleased expressions, staring at Wu Li with eyes full of rage. Yet, despite their anger, they had to endure it, for ninety-nine percent of them were certain they were no match for Wu Li.
"I will take you on!" Suddenly, just when the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, a figure promptly stood up.
Sui Gao!
The young master of the longstanding Sui Family from Xuanfeng Imperial City.
The Sui Family had been passed down for a million years, with each generation thriving tremendously, especially the recent ones where the Sui Family had covertly become one of the top three powers within the imperial city, and even contended for the first spot.
Sui Gao himself was particularly outstanding. At the age of twenty-eight, he had reached the Early Stage of the Sixth Layer of the Creation Realm. He was one of the recognized strongest among the younger generation in Xuanfeng Imperial City, famous throughout the entire city.
"Good!" Wu Li turned his head to look at Sui Gao and said loudly, "I don’t know your name..."
"Sui Gao!" Sui Gao coldly spat out his name.
"We’re just sparring, no harming each other, therefore, no weapons," Wu Li said smilingly. "Is that acceptable?"
As he spoke, Wu Li handed his companion sword over to a servant behind him.
"Acceptable!" Sui Gao nodded.
"Su Chen, why don’t you stand up?" Jiuyou asked curiously.
"No rush," Su Chen shook his head. "I will stand up when it’s the right time. For now, I’ll wait..."
The primary reason Su Chen wanted to wait was his dissatisfaction with the Xuanfeng Emperor!!!
Previously, when he declined the Seventh Princess’s invitation to dance and asked her to wait, the killing intent from the Xuanfeng Emperor was almost tangible, nearly leading to action. Su Chen felt that killing intent very clearly.
