This was different from the last time Chu Yunfan had come to the Imperial Capital to report on his duties. The last time Chu Yunfan had come to the Imperial Capital, he had been calm and composed. At that time, Chu Yunfan had only been an ordinary young prodigy. He had not even been ranked on the Prodigy Roll.
Except for certain specific circles, most people were not interested in Chu Yunfan.
However, this time, the moment Chu Yunfan came to the Imperial Capital to report, the news of Chu Yunfan's arrival had already spread throughout the Imperial Capital.
Especially in the past few days, he could be said to be in the limelight.
After the Prodigy Roll was updated, Chu Yunfan suddenly became the number one on the Prodigy Roll. Just when everyone was wondering how Chu Yunfan could suddenly become the number one on the Prodigy Roll, a piece of news came.
Chu Yunfan had killed the original number one on the Prodigy Roll, Li Qianyuan!
For a moment, the world was in an uproar. Even the Imperial Capital, a place that everyone was proud of, was shocked by Chu Yunfan's amazing achievements.
Moreover, as time passed, more news came. Chu Yunfan's killing of Li Qianyuan was not as simple as that.
Subsequently, under the encirclement of various major forces, he successfully killed all of them. Even the previous prodigy of the Li Clan died in the hands of Chu Yunfan.
As the saying goes, study hard and no one hears of it, but shock the world with a single brilliant feat!
In particular, Chu Yunfan was conferred the title of Zhenyuan Marquis. According to the usual practice of the Great Xia Dynasty, a major event like the conferment of a Marquis had to be announced publicly. How much contribution this person had made in order to be conferred the title of Marquis was for the world to examine.
This was also the iron rule left by the founding ancestor of the Great Xia Dynasty. One could not be conferred the title of Marquis without contributions!
Even those who were born in large clans or sects, if they wanted to be conferred the title of Marquis, they had to have real contributions so that they would not be criticized by others.
And because of this, Chu Yunfan's qualifications were exposed. For a time, many people were blinded. The experts that he had killed and captured involved the mortal enemies of the Great Xia Dynasty, such as the Demon Race, the Sea Race, the Evil Dao, and so on.
The list of names was so long that even a piece of paper wouldn't be enough to fill it all up. And each and every one of these names had once shaken the heavens and earth. To the citizens of Grand Xia, it could be said that they were the victims of a blood debt. It was unknown how much blood had been spilled on their hands.
When Li Qianyuan was conferred the title of Marquis, he had relied on his elite troops and the help of his family's Path Protectors to kill a few Creation Realm experts on the battlefield. Due to his meritorious service, he was conferred the title of Marquis Hun Tian.
Although his contribution was enough, it barely reached the level of a Marquis. If an ordinary person was a Marquis, this would be enough. However, Li Qianyuan was the number one on the Heaven's Chosen List. This kind of contribution could only be said to be barely enough.
But at that time, under the protection of the Li Family and the Crown Prince, no one dared to jump out and say anything wrong. After all, he had reached the standard of being conferred the title of Marquis.
After all, everyone knew that this was the will of the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince could not show himself, but he needed Li Qianyuan to help him recruit talents and win over the hearts of the people.
But Chu Yunfan was different. He was the second person to be conferred the title of Marquis after Li Qianyuan. Although he had the help of the Flying Celestial Sect, the names on the list were all real.
In particular, many of them were experts at the seventh or peak of the Creation Realm.
Any one of these experts on the battlefield could turn the tide of the battle. Any one of them appearing in the Great Xia Dynasty could affect the nerves of the imperial court.
As a series of names were announced, everyone no longer doubted whether Chu Yunfan was qualified to be conferred the title of Marquis. After all, such contributions could be said to have surpassed 90% of the veteran Marquis experts.
No one had witnessed Chu Yunfan's first battle against the Demon Race and the Devil God Cult, so they were doubtful. However, in the battle above the East Sea, Chu Yunfan had slaughtered the experts of the various forces who had besieged him single-handedly under the watchful eyes of the public.
Just that victory alone was enough for Chu Yunfan to be conferred the title of Marquis.
And among these voices, there were naturally many who doubted Chu Yunfan. The Divine Blade Sect was also part of the Great Xia Dynasty, not to mention Li Qianyuan and Li Weiyuan, who were both well-known figures among the younger generation, had died in the hands of Chu Yunfan.
Many people also doubted that Chu Yunfan, who had killed his own people, was not qualified to be conferred the title of Marquis. It was already good that he was not punished.
However, this argument did not hold water. After all, not everyone was a fool. Everyone understood that Chu Yunfan had openly killed Li Qianyuan in the arena. This was something that was allowed by the rules.
After that, Li Weiyuan had ganged up with the demons and experts of the foreign tribes to besiege Chu Yunfan. Now that he was dead, so be it. If he was still alive, many officials would probably make things difficult for him.
This had already crossed the bottom line in many people's hearts.
Even Chu Yunfan did not expect that his matter had already spread like wildfire in the Imperial Capital.
As soon as he arrived at the Imperial Capital through the Teleportation Formation, he could feel that the Golden Dragon of Luck above the Imperial Capital had become larger and more terrifying.
It was not that the Golden Dragon of Luck had become stronger in such a short time, but rather that his cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds during this period of time.
In the Imperial Capital, the higher one's cultivation was, the more they would be suppressed by the Golden Dragon of Luck.
If the experts of the evil sects dared to come to the Imperial Capital, they would most likely be destroyed by the Golden Dragon of Luck with a single shout, and their cultivation would drop.
On the contrary, ordinary people would not be affected, and they would not even be able to feel the existence of the Golden Dragon of Luck.
His cultivation had improved, so he could naturally feel the existence of the Golden Dragon of Luck. The huge Golden Dragon of Luck was coiled above the Imperial Capital, and its four sharp claws scratched the four corners of the Imperial Capital. Its huge head was patrolling in all directions, as if it was fighting against some extraordinary existence.
Chu Yunfan had the ribbon seal of Marquis Zhenyuan issued by the Grand Xia Empire. In the next instant, the ribbon seal emitted a faint golden light, and the pressure of the Golden Dragon of Luck that was crushing down on him disappeared without a trace.
It was only now that Chu Yunfan discovered that the ribbon seal issued by the Grand Xia Empire actually had such a function. However, as an aristocrat of the Grand Xia Empire, Chu Yunfan and the Grand Xia Empire were naturally bound together for good or bad. Therefore, it was very normal for the Golden Dragon of Luck to regard him as one of its own.
Under the guidance of the officials who came to receive him, Chu Yunfan arrived at the Imperial Palace of the Grand Xia Empire for the first time. With a single glance, the walls of the Imperial Palace were hundreds of meters tall, piercing straight into the clouds. The walls were decorated with carvings of dragons and paintings, and were resplendent in gold and jade. It gave off a feeling of heavenly might.
With just a slight probe, he could sense an incomparably terrifying aura that was like numerous coiling dragons occupying the Imperial Palace. It was unknown how many experts there were.
