Insufferably Arrogant
What was even more tragic was that Luo Zheng's cultivation pills were nowhere to be found. In the Hundred Battles Dynasty, it was hard to find even a single high-grade magic step pill.
Moreover, the higher Luo Zheng's cultivation was, the denser his Yuan Qi would be. The number of pills he needed to raise his cultivation was just too shocking.
"It's hard to say that the Warring Dynasty is a barren land. Normally, after reaching a high level, one would have to leave this place and go to a place where martial arts flourishes and spiritual Qi is more abundant. It's more suitable for cultivation. Otherwise, one's cultivation would probably stagnate. "
Luo Zheng thought silently for a while before examining the seated Buddha in the Heavenspan Sword Formation in his Divine Sea.
The seated Buddha had shrunk by about a fifth. From the looks of it, it would take at least two hours to completely refine it.
Moreover, the Heavenspan Sword Formation was a part of the Buddha's refinement, but Luo Zheng did not feel any benefits. His body and cultivation did not change at all.
He could sense that the two stones from the Nine Dragons Coffin and the South Sea Sword Sect were of great importance and could not be casually revealed.
"Master, Yan Long is here to seek an audience."
The steward who had just been promoted reported outside the room.
"Tell him to come to the main hall."
Luo Zheng said and put everything into the Ring of Cosmos before walking out of the quiet room.
"Greetings, Boss."
When Yan Long saw Luo Zheng walk in, he quickly stepped forward and said with a smile.
"You're quite well-informed. You know as soon as I return." Luo Zheng smiled and glanced at Yan Long. "Nurturing Yuan Realm. Not bad! How's your cultivation of the Hateful Saber Technique? "
"I've already reached minor mastery. Thanks to Boss, I was able to follow the Marquis of the Calm Sea and receive his guidance."
Yan Long said happily.
Previously, because of Luo Zheng, Yan Long had obtained the opportunity to follow Shi Hongyu.
Although the Marquis of the Calm Sea had not formally accepted him as a disciple, he could be considered half a disciple.
Now, everyone knew that the Marquis of the Calm Sea's coronation was imminent. If the Yan Clan could become the fourth Marquis of a different surname through Yan Long, the benefits were obvious.
However, Yan Long was very clear that his fortuitous encounters all came from Luo Zheng.
Without Luo Zheng, he was nothing. At most, he was just an ordinary Heavenly Wolf Sect disciple.
"Sit down and tell me about the recent situation."
Luo Zheng said with a smile.
No matter what, Yan Long had a first-class family behind him, so he was definitely a hundred times better informed than Luo Zheng who knew nothing.
Yan Long's expression turned solemn. "Boss, according to what I know, Wu Tianji is already a disciple of the Heavenly Tiger Clan. It's very likely that he'll be promoted to a marquis during this reward, becoming the first young marquis of the Warring Dynasty. According to the news from the War Imperial Palace … "
After listening to Yan Long, Luo Zheng's expression remained unchanged, but he was secretly shocked.
He didn't care about Wu Tianji at all. What shocked him was the actions of the Saint Martial King Wu Guixuan.
Wu Guixuan was definitely not stupid to have reached this step. Not to mention whether the War Emperor would bestow him the surname, even if he didn't want to accept it, he could've brought it up privately and the War Emperor might not have forced it on him.
In the imperial court, he used someone else's mouth to bring it up. This was equivalent to Wu Guixuan's demonstration.
This wasn't a demonstration for the War Emperor, but for the various clans and factions of the Warring Dynasty. The Wu Clan had the strength that even the War Emperor feared.
"Could it be that Wu Guixuan's martial cultivation has already surpassed the War Emperor?"
Luo Zheng couldn't help but be puzzled.
"This is unknown. Many people are paying attention to this matter. If Wu Tianji becomes a marquis, it will prove that the Wu Clan has the strength that even the War Emperor has to be wary of."
Yan Long was worried. Everyone knew about the conflict between Luo Zheng and Wu Tianji.
If Wu Tianji becomes a marquis, one could imagine Luo Zheng's situation.
"The news has already spread. Five days later, the rewards will be held at the Thousand People Square. The military merits we obtained from eliminating the Ghost Bandits are enough to be promoted to Celestial Phenomenon disciples."
"But if Wu Tianji becomes a marquis, he will be above you again. I heard that many Celestial Phenomenon disciples and Heavenly Serpent disciples formed an army when they eliminated the South Sea Sword Faction. Xue Sha, Bai Yixian, and the others are very likely to be promoted to Heavenly Serpent disciples. I'm afraid they will make trouble for you again. Also, that He Jingtao has already returned to the Heavenly Serpent Peak. "
Yan Long had returned to the Heavenly Wolf Peak after the Lu Clan's matchmaking event. He told Ye Qingyu everything he heard.
In short, the situation was extremely unfavorable for Luo Zheng.
"Do you know if Wu Guixuan will return for the rewards this time?"
Luo Zheng asked.
"The Saint Martial King will definitely not return. Now that Blackwater City has been breached, the Saint Martial King will definitely not return. Although the Blackwater Dynasty is only one-third the size of our Hundred Battles Dynasty, their wealth is still extremely shocking. I heard that he's busy plundering the wealth of the major families in the Blackwater Dynasty. Of course, he won't return. "
Yan Long shook his head and analyzed.
If the Saint Martial King returned from the Blackwater Dynasty, the Battle Emperor could use the excuse that the three armies must have a commander and send someone else to take over. The wealth of the Blackwater Dynasty would then fall into the Battle Emperor's hands.
"This Wu Guixuan is really arrogant and domineering. But it's good that he won't return."
Luo Zheng smiled faintly.
He now had a better understanding of the Wu Clan's power. They actually pocketed the wealth of the Blackwater Dynasty. Other than Wu Guixuan, who else would dare to do so?
"Master, the Battle Emperor has decreed that all the disciples of the Emperor and the disciples of the Five Saints Army must attend the banquet in three days."
