At the same time, Han Mu was also released from the city wall.
His body was tightly bound by the Spirit Sealing Rope as he knelt on the ground without saying a word.
He knew that things had developed to this point. No matter what he said, it would be useless.
Chen Han took out a long saber from his storage ring and strode to Han Mu's side. He shouted,
"I'm Chen Han! On the orders of His Majesty, today, in front of the city gate, I will behead the former King of Lin Prefecture, Han Mu!”
"To warn others!"
He held the hilt of his sword tightly with both hands and raised it high.
Under the sunlight, the sharp blade glistened with a piercing cold light.
In the next moment, the blade suddenly slashed down!
"Puchi!"
A bloody head flew into the air!
The blood that splattered out dyed the ground red.
……
Ever since Han Mu, the king of Lin Prefecture, was executed in front of the city gates, the number of young cultivators in the Li Fire Capital had increased day by day.
It was not because of anything else, but because the annual Prodigy Tournament was about to begin!
Towards this competition, the elites of the dynasty displayed a fervor that far exceeded the past.
The competition had yet to begin, but the capital seemed to be filled with the smell of gunpowder.
All of this was naturally due to the current Overlord of the Lihuo Empire, Lin Xiao!
Ever since Lin Xiao ascended the throne, all the deeds he had done were completely unimaginable to the world.
Abolishing the holy emissary, defeating the holy land, killing the vassal king…
He even said something that even the Li Fire Emperor did not dare to say!
"The dynasty will never compromise. Resources, prodigies, opportunities, everything outside the Azure Continent will belong to Li Huo!”
How domineering was this?
Countless young cultivators idolized Emperor Xiao because of this.
Every time he mentioned it, his eyes were filled with fanaticism.
In the Heaven No.1 Room of the Delicate Dragon Restaurant.
There was only one person sitting in the spacious room.
He quietly looked at the jade wine cup in his hand. It was filled with a jade-green liquid that was crystal clear.
"Dong dong dong…"
There was a light knock on the door.
"Get lost!"
His eyes darkened as he threw the wine glass in his hand at the door! It shattered instantly!
"Hahaha…Exalt, don't be so angry!”
The door was pushed open and a figure walked in.
This person looked to be in his early twenties. Although he was a man, he was definitely handsome!
In fact, even most women in the world could not help but envy him.
"Who are you?"
The Exalt frowned, and a faint killing intent flickered in his eyes.
"First of all, I'm not your enemy!”
The young man smiled and closed the door. He sat down opposite the Supremacy and continued,"Have you heard of the Dachu Dynasty?"
The Supremacy looked at him coldly and did not speak.
When the young man saw this, he seemed to have expected it and did not mind.
"I'm the Crown Prince of the Great Chu Dynasty, Chu Aoling!”
"This prince feels that you and I have a common enemy.”
At this point, Chu Aoling smiled and said,""That is the Li Fire Empire!"
"Why don't we join forces and destroy the Li Fire Empire? You can continue to make your Holy Land as stable as Mount Tai, and I can also take back the throne and successfully restore the country!”
"I wonder…what do you think?”
As soon as he said this, the Exalt immediately fell silent.
The corners of Chu Aoling's mouth gradually curled up, revealing a smile of victory.
He had already done enough intelligence work before coming here.
The current Holy Land was no longer what it used to be.
Ever since the battle half a month ago, he had suffered a great loss.
It was said that the Lord of the North Region was deeply affected by this and his state of mind was damaged.
Now that he saw the other party's dispirited appearance with his own eyes, it was indeed true!
There was a long silence.
The Exalt slowly raised his hand and pointed at the door."The door is over there!"
"My Lord, what do you mean?”
Chu Aoling's expression was a little ugly.
"You don't understand?"
The Exalt raised his eyelids and said coldly,""A bunch of trash who only know how to hide in the shadows and stir up trouble when there's a chance. When they see danger, they shrink their heads back.”
Chu Aoling's eyes flashed with anger, but he quickly suppressed it. He laughed dryly,""My lord, this is called judging the situation, not to mention…"
Just as he was speaking, he was mercilessly interrupted by the Exalt.
"You…are far inferior to him!"
He stared at Chu Aoling with an unprecedented seriousness in his eyes.
Of course, Chu Aoling knew who the Supremacy was referring to.
Immediately, his expression changed.
The anger in his heart rose even higher.
Immediately, he stood up and forced a smile."Since the Exalt insists on this, then this prince will wait and see what the Exalt will do!”
After all, no matter what, Exalts were also existences at the Immortal Martial realm.
Therefore, even if he had a hundred guts, he would not dare to get angry.
"Get lost!"
After the Supremacy finished speaking, he lowered his head and no longer looked at the other party.
Chu Aoling's face was ashen, and he felt a wave of anger in his heart.
But in the end, he didn't say anything. He turned around and left the room.
……
"Everyone, quickly go to the Cloud Climbing Steps! The competition is about to begin!"
On the street, someone suddenly shouted.
The originally harmonious scene suddenly became chaotic.
Countless cultivators rushed toward the Emperor Palace.
At this moment, a large number of young cultivators had already gathered in front of the Cloud Ascension Steps.
At a glance, there were tens of thousands of them!
And as time passed, the number continued to increase.
"Is there still no news from His Majesty?"
On the Cloud Ascension Steps, Situ Qing looked down at the increasing number of Heaven's Favorites. His eyes were filled with worry.
According to the rules, the Prodigy Tournament must be hosted by His Majesty personally.
But now, Lin Xiao had been in seclusion for more than ten days and there was no news at all.
Behind Situ Qing stood Li Haoran and the other officials.
"We can't do anything about His Majesty's seclusion.”
Li Haoran sighed." You're the Minister of Rites. It's not against the rules to let you preside over this competition."”
"Now that things have come to this, this is the only way.”
Situ Qing sighed. Then, he looked at the Heaven's Favorites below and circulated his True Qi. He said,"Next, I will announce the rules of the competition…"
……
Inside the Cultivation Hall.
Lin Xiao sat cross-legged in the middle, True Qi circulating around his body.
In front of him, the Immortal Ascension Rankings floated quietly, and he was currently using his True Qi to refine it.
"I only need one last time to succeed!”
Now, after he refined the Saint Spirit Pill, his cultivation directly crossed the boundary and became an existence at the sixth level of the Essence Soul realm!
However, despite the huge leap, it did not show any signs of instability.
If he could refine the Immortal Ascension Rankings once again and gather the fortune of the empire into his body, his strength would definitely increase once again!
