A Good Romance

This was big news.
Outside of Xuanbei Country, a powerful force had sent an emissary to the Imperial Capital to seek an audience with the Sage Emperor. However, the Sage Emperor was in seclusion, and the Grand Council Elder received the emissary on his behalf.
So, there were other powerful forces outside of Xuan Bei Country!
This surprised the people of the imperial capital. They thought that Xuanbei Nation was the overlord of Skysea Star, and that monsters could only hide in the deep mountains and seas. They didn't expect such a force to suddenly appear.
However, just what was going on with this faction, and how strong was it?
Coincidentally, Xuanyuan Dingguo came to see him, so Ling Han asked the son of the general.
Xuanyuan Dingguo had already broken through to the Extreme Bone Realm. In fact, he could have broken through a long time ago, but he had been suppressing his cultivation level for the Xuanyuan Gang. However, now that a new member of the Xuanyuan Family was about to enter the academy, he could also retire.
He chuckled and said, "You've asked the right person. Only the descendants of us, the Four Great Marshals and Grand Tutor Hong, can come into contact with such secrets."
"Stop showing off. Hurry up and tell me," Ling Han urged.
"That power calls itself the Yue Dynasty," Xuanyuan Dingguo said.
"How powerful are they?" Ling Han asked again.
"The envoy this time is the son of the Emperor of Yue, as well as the descendants of several generals. According to the information I've gathered, the son of the Emperor of Yue is an Enlightening expert," Xuanyuan Dingguo whispered, unable to conceal his shock.
Before the Battle of Demon Rats, everyone believed that the current Saint Emperor was also at the Enlightening Realm, and the only one in the Xuanbei Kingdom who was at the Enlightening Realm. He was at the same realm as the Saint Emperor's son, so how could he match the Emperor of Yue?
However, to the vast majority of the citizens, the Sage Emperor was an existence of the Enlightenment realm. So if the information about the Yue Kingdom's envoy were to be spread, it would be a huge blow.
Moreover, they were both sons, but Chen Fengyan's descendants had yet to reach the Enlightenment realm, while the Emperor of Yue had. Comparing them, didn't this show that the Emperor of Yue was more awesome?
"Then, what does Yue Chao want to do?" Ling Han asked.
"They want us to surrender and become vassals of the Yue Dynasty." Xuanyuan Dingguo snorted. "What wishful thinking. Do you know what kind of existence the Saint-Emperor is? He's so domineering and heaven-defying. How could he possibly be someone else's subject?"
"However, His Majesty the Saint Emperor is currently in seclusion, so the Lord Grand Elder does not dare to make a rash decision. We will have to wait for His Majesty to come out of seclusion before making a decision."
Ling Han nodded. This time, the emissary from the Yue Dynasty did not come with good intentions. He actually wanted Xuan Bei Country to become his vassal. He was extremely ambitious. Furthermore, they only sent a prince for such a big matter. They didn't even send a general. This showed how arrogant this Yue Dynasty was. They didn't put Xuan Bei Country in their eyes at all.
Thinking about it, Xuan Bei Country only had one Enlightening State cultivator in name, but the Yue Dynasty sent out a random prince who was also an Enlightening State cultivator. It was obvious how powerful the Yue Dynasty was, and it was reasonable for them to be so arrogant.
"Sigh, I wonder if a Kingdom War will break out." Xuanyuan Dingguo said worriedly.
The Yue Dynasty was extremely powerful, but the Black North Country only had one invincible existence, Chen Fengyan. Once an all-out war broke out, it was highly likely that both sides would suffer great losses.
Xuanyuan Dingguo left. He had just broken through and urgently needed to stabilize his realm.
Ling Han was the same. He was already at the peak of Third Transformation and could theoretically break through to Fourth Transformation, but he needed actual combat to solidify his foundation.
Where could he fight?
The Imperial Hunting Ground was a good place. There were demonic beasts at the Extreme Bone realm, but normally people weren't allowed to enter, so this route wasn't feasible.
Where else could he go?
Ling Han couldn't help but sigh. Why didn't all his previous enemies, like Fang Zhangping and Cheng Hu, appear now? If he fought with such experts, his realm would definitely be stabilized very quickly.
He could only trouble Xuanyuan Dingguo again.
"Actual combat?" Xuanyuan Dingguo thought about it. "There is indeed such a place, but it's too dangerous."
"Where?" Ling Han asked.
"Underground arenas." Xuanyuan Dingguo said, "According to the Empire's laws, these arenas aren't allowed to exist, so they can only be carried out secretly underground. However, this industry is very profitable. I heard that the Hong Tian Steps has an underground arena."
"Oh?" Ling Han found this strange. "The Hong Tian Steps also lacks money?"
"Of course. Although Grand Tutor Hong's salary isn't small, he also has many descendants. Every one of them needs a large amount of resources to cultivate. How can they not have enough if they don't do some side business?" Xuanyuan Dingguo laughed.
Ling Han couldn't help but laugh. "Then the four marshals should be about the same, right?"
"Hehe." Xuanyuan Dingguo didn't directly admit it. "Every family will more or less have some hidden income. This is an open secret in the Empire.
"It's not just the four marshals. Even the princes are involved, especially those with the strength to fight for the throne. They have a large group of death warriors under their command. Without a large amount of money, who would follow you?"
Ling Han nodded. "Then you make the arrangements. I'll go fight in the underground arenas."
He didn't need to be polite with Xuanyuan Dingguo. Not only had the pill recipes he provided allowed Xuanyuan Dingguo to make a lot of money, his status in the Xuanyuan family had also soared. He owed Ling Han a huge favor.
"Alright." Xuanyuan Dingguo nodded. But after thinking for a moment, he added, "However, although your realm isn't high, your strength is too great. It'll be difficult to find an opponent who can match you."
"If it wasn't difficult, I wouldn't need to find you, right?" laughed Ling Han.
"Haha, just because of that, I'll definitely find someone for you," said Xuanyuan Dingguo.
Just two days after he left, he once again came to find Ling Han. He said he'd already made the arrangements.
That night, Ling Han followed him out of the Academy. They arrived at a seemingly ordinary bar, but after passing the inspection, they entered a secret passageway that led downwards.
This place was very large. At the center was an arena that was around thirty meters long and wide. But even such a large arena only took up a fifth of the space. It was obvious just how large this place was.
Currently, there was a battle going on on the arena. It was extremely intense, but it was only at the Meridian Opening realm. Ling Han only glanced at it for a moment before looking away.
This underground arena was very lively. There were at least a thousand people watching, and they didn't care that it was just a battle between Meridian Opening experts. As long as there was blood, they would scream in excitement.
"Those competitors have all committed serious crimes. They can all be sentenced to death," whispered Xuanyuan Dingguo.
Ling Han nodded. It seemed there was an army involved in this underground arena. Otherwise, how could they bring death row criminals here?
Very quickly, the battle on the arena came to an end. One person had been pierced through the abdomen. It would probably be difficult for him to keep his life.
"Next, our Changsheng General Xin Si will fight against Ma Jiu, who has been in the limelight recently!" A middle-aged man who looked like a host jumped into the ring and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Now, everyone can place your bets!"
