At the mention of the marriage by combat, the sky-prides at the scene were reminded of Princess Linglong, especially when she blocked Chu Kuangren's attack that day at the banquet.
Even they did not dare to say that they could block Chu Kuangren's attack, but Princess Linglong did it. It was obvious that she was also a top-notch sky-pride.
"The princess has a Godly Daoist Physique. If she can get her hands on the Godly Essence, she might be able to compete with Chu Kuangren!"
At that moment, one of the sky-prides murmured.
Everyone's eyes lit up. That was right. They had returned empty-handed from the Secret Realm, but the Godly Essence was also an Opportunity of Fortune.
"Don't even think about it. With Chu Kuangren around, do you think we have any hope in this marriage by combat by combat?" One of the sky-prides said. His words were like a bucket of cold water that doused the fire in everyone's hearts.
Yuanhong smiled bitterly. "Chu Kuangren is too strong. If he participates in this marriage by combat, we have no hope at all. Besides, this guy is very popular with the princess."
At that thought, everyone suddenly felt their vision darken.
He was handsome and powerful.
If they were the princess, they would definitely choose Chu Kuangren.
"Everyone, don't be so discouraged. Chu Kuangren will not participate in this marriage by combat." At that moment, a voice came.
Gu Changge was walking towards the sky-prides.
Everyone frowned when they saw him. Gu Changge had previously defeated many great orthodoxies in order to cultivate his Heart of Invincibility.
However, they were more interested in what Gu Changge had just said. Fangtian asked, "What did you mean by that, Your Highness?"
Gu Changge said, "I said that Chu Kuangren will not participate in this marriage by combat. My younger sister said this herself."
Before going to the Secret Realm of the Luminous Moon, Gu Changge had talked to Princess Linglong about Chu Kuangren. Princess Linglong had mentioned that Chu Kuangren had clearly stated that he was not interested in the Godly Essence and would not participate in the marriage by combat.
After hearing Gu Changge's words, everyone's eyes lit up with hope.
"I can't believe that Chu Kuangren is not interested in the Godly Essence. Haha, this gives us a chance."
"Is this guy even a man? The princess is so beautiful and has a Godly Daoist Physique, but he's not interested at all. "
"That's good too. Don't blame us for being impolite."
After the excitement, Fang Tian looked at Gu Changge and asked curiously, "Why did the Crown Prince tell us this?"
A cold glint flashed across Gu Changge's eyes. "I don't like Chu Kuangren either. My sister can marry anyone but Chu Kuangren!"
"I see."
…
In the palace of the Royal Azure Dynasty.
In Princess Linglong's sleeping quarters, she sat on her bed with a blade laid horizontally in front of her. It was the Saint Weapon, the Bright Moon Blade.
"This Sage's Daoist Rhyme is indeed extraordinary. The remnant Sage's Daoist Rhyme on this blade is very mysterious. It's enough for me to comprehend for a while."
Princess Linglong's slender fingers caressed the blade of the saber as a blurry look flashed across her eyes. No one knew what she was thinking about.
"His Majesty has arrived!"
At this moment, the voice of a palace maid came from outside the bedroom.
The Royal Azure Dynasty King, who was dressed in a dragon robe and looked like a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, walked in.
Princess Linglong kept her sacred weapon and stood up to welcome her father, "Greetings, Father."
"No need for formalities, my son." The Royal Azure Dynasty King smiled faintly, but then his face stiffened and turned gloomy.
A terrifying domineering aura swept out uncontrollably. The palace maids in the bedroom were so frightened that they knelt on the ground.
Their hearts were filled with fear. They did not know why the Royal Azure Dynasty King would suddenly become so enraged.
"Other than my son, the rest of you, get out."
Not long after, only Princess Linglong and the Royal Azure Dynasty King were left in the bedroom. The domineering aura still filled the air.
"Speak, who is it?!"
"Who did you give the Godly Essence to!"
The Royal Azure Dynasty King suppressed his anger and growled.
He was the one who raised Princess Linglong, and he himself was an Honorable Supreme. Hence, he quickly noticed that something was amiss.
The Godly Essence in Princess Linglong's body had disappeared!
How could he not be angry when his daughter's chastity was at stake?
"Father, let's cancel the martial arts contest."
Princess Linglong said calmly.
"We'll talk about this later. Now, tell me, who is that person! I'm going to skin him alive! "
"I did this willingly."
"Willingly?" The Royal Azure Dynasty King was stunned. "Do you know what you're talking about? The Shang clan's Young Emperor will be arriving in a few days. When that time comes, he'll also participate in the martial arts contest. If he finds out about this, the Royal Azure Dynasty will become enemies with the Shang clan. "
"If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have agreed to hold this martial arts contest. What a joke."
The more the Royal Azure Dynasty King thought about it, the angrier he got. He could not wait to tear the person who took away his daughter's chastity into a thousand pieces.
"Quickly, tell me, who is that person!"
Princess Linglong pursed her lips and fell silent for a while. "The Black Heaven Sect's Elder Senior Brother, Chu Kuangren!"
"It's him."
The Royal Azure Dynasty King was stunned for a moment before he calmed down. A thought flashed across his eyes. "So it's him."
"When we were in the Secret Realm, we encountered …" Princess Linglong told him everything that happened in the Gray Mist Domain.
As the Royal Azure Dynasty King listened, the anger on his face was replaced by contemplation. "If it's him, it's not that I can't accept it."
Princess Linglong was speechless.
She knew it would turn out like this. To the Royal Azure Dynasty King, she was his daughter, but she was also a tool for marriage.
As long as the benefits were maximized, it was still a marriage.
"Chu Kuangren, Supreme Daoist Physique, Supreme Foundation, once killed an Honorable Supreme, killed Lei Ao in the Secret Realm, killed an incomplete Sage …"
"This person is indeed talented."
"And the Black Heaven Sect is not much weaker than the Shang clan. Perhaps compared to the Shang clan's Young Emperor, he'll be a better marriage partner."
The Royal Azure Dynasty King murmured.
Princess Linglong, who was beside him, suddenly felt a sense of anticipation.
Marriage with Chu Kuangren?
To her, compared to the Shang clan's Young Emperor whom she had never met, she was more willing to marry Chu Kuangren.
"Let me handle this matter," the Royal Azure Dynasty King said.
…
Outside the Royal Azure Dynasty.
A Fairy boat was flying in the sky.
On the deck, a young cultivator in a green robe sat cross-legged. This young cultivator had a dignified appearance and a surge of Daoist Rhyme surged around his body.
After a while, the Daoist Rhyme on the green-robed cultivator retracted. "I'm only one step away from breaking through to the Battle Monarch Realm."
"Young Emperor, we're almost there." An old man walked up to him.
"Yes."
"Young Emperor, there's something I don't understand. Why did you agree to Princess Linglong's request to hold a marriage by combat? Isn't that unnecessary?"
The green-robed cultivator said, "She's a woman who doesn't want to be manipulated by others. The reason she held the marriage by combat was just to protest against this marriage. Since that's the case, I'll let her know how useless it is!"
"Before me, she can only submit!"
"Besides, since this is my first time in the Azure Dragon Domain, I'll take this opportunity to meet the sky-prides of the Azure Dragon Domain."
The green-robed cultivator's tone was full of confidence. He was not the least bit worried that he would lose in the marriage by combat because he was the Shang clan's Young Emperor!
"I see. I thought your Princess Linglong had fallen for him." The old man suddenly realized.
