Xiao Chen only hoped that Xiao Chen could appear safely at the King conferral ceremony. At that time, even if he could not be conferred King, at least no one would dare to touch him openly.
After hesitating for a while, Han Qinghe said hesitantly, "There is another piece of bad news. I'm not sure if I should say it or not."
Shui Lingling's heart sank as she had a bad feeling. "Speak, then."
"The Deity Race has made a move as well. Ten great grandmaster-level Martial Sages with temporary Deity Statues have already set off. They need to block Xiao Chen at the last moment. No matter what, they cannot allow him to appear at the King conferral ceremony. "
Casting a Deity Statue meant having a statue of oneself in the Deity Race's Sacred Hall. Then, one could receive worship from the crowd and absorb the power of faith.
The Deity Race claimed to have three thousand Deities. In reality, most of them only had the cultivation of the Blue Robed Emperor. However, the strength that they could erupt with far surpassed that of a regular Blue Robed Emperor.
They relied on the power of faith. If these ten Deity Race great grandmaster-level Martial Sages found Xiao Chen, the consequences would be dire.
Shui Lingling's expression changed slightly. "No, we cannot let Junior Brother Xiao Chen continue on alone. We have to help him."
Han Qinghe sighed softly, "The Sect Master already said that we are not allowed to make a move. This path can only be walked by Xiao Chen himself."
Shui Lingling's expression changed as she calmed down. She understood in her heart that this path was chosen by Xiao Chen himself.
Back on the Haotian Star, Xiao Chen had withdrawn his sharpness and was not famous. However, Xiao Chen had already seen the true dragon hidden in his eyes.
After the battle on the Proud Son of Heaven Ranking, everyone in the world knew about Xiao Chen's identity as a descendant of the Qing Emperor. From that moment on, Xiao Chen had already made preparations to bear everything.
Xiao Chen had to walk this path of King conferral alone. Eventually, he would appear at the King conferral ceremony and inherit the Blue Dragon King title that belonged to him.
"Let's go and participate in Junior Brother Xiao Chen's King conferral ceremony. He will definitely appear in Tianwu City."
The worried expression on Shui Lingling's face disappeared and was replaced by confidence and determination. At the King conferral ceremony, the white figure that had never disappointed her would definitely appear with pride.
Kunlun Realm, Kuafu Clan's Residence, Young Master Kuafu Zhu: Ren Kongjue looked at the small words at the bottom right corner of the red invitation letter, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes. He smiled coldly and said, "I hope that you will show up. No one has ever dared to humiliate me like this before."
In the Heavenly Saber Pavilion, Xiao Chen had gone to ask for Lord Jiu's hand in marriage. In the end, Xiao Chen had used Lord Jiu to make fun of him. Xiao Chen had always remembered this great humiliation.
He had been waiting for this King conferral ceremony to deal a fatal blow to the other party.
In the Asura Clan, which was also a powerful ancient clan, Lan Shaobai, Yu, and the others were taking turns passing around an invitation.
Yu's face was filled with doubt as she said, "Xiao Chen's name, Brother Shaobai, how come I don't see it?"
Lan Shaobai smiled helplessly and pointed to the bottom corner, where the words were the same color as the invitation letter. "It's here."
"Why is it so small? I can't see it clearly," Yu said gloomily as joy flashed on her face.
The person beside her said to Lan Shaobai, "Shaobai, what are your plans?"
Lan Shaobai sighed. In the past year, he had traveled everywhere. In the end, he discovered that his reputation could not move anyone.
It was practically impossible for him to organize a Heroes' Convention to compete with Di Wuque.
"I will make a move against him. If he can survive and successfully conferred King, I will be willing to stand on his side."
--- At the same time, in the Ghost Domain, the descendants of three Sovereign Martial Emperors had already set off for Tianwu City in the Central Province under the lead of the Heaven Punishing Corpse God's personal disciple.
In the Chaotic Demonic Sea, the Merfolk Race Queen Yao Yan received the invitation letter. A bright light flickered in her eyes as she looked at the unremarkable words at the bottom right corner. "It has begun? I have to send someone to deliver the congratulatory gift. "
--- After crossing the Chaotic Demonic Sea, in the headquarters of the Heavenly Starry Ocean's Northern Sea Alliance:
"First Young Master, the King conferral ceremony that you told me to keep an eye on will be held in ten days."
Ye Chen said with some disappointment, "I'm afraid there is no time to go. However, it should not be a problem to get Father to prepare a congratulatory gift." ---
In the Fiend Domain, Bai pestered The Fox King with a smile on his face, urging the five strongest experts of the Kunlun Continent to personally go to the King conferral ceremony.
--- Outside the Tianwu Domain, there were many other places. Many people who received invitations paid attention to the most unremarkable words on the invitation.
The expressions on their faces were either anger, smiles, or so on and so forth.
The Three Holy Masters probably would not have expected what kind of storm this King conferral ceremony would stir up.
--- The King conferral ceremony would be held in ten days.
--- In the Central Province's Tianwu City, some famous cultivators started to appear in the streets.
The liveliness of the city increased by the day. In the teahouses and restaurants, all the topics were focused on the upcoming King conferral ceremony.
However, the topic was not Xiao Hou Jue. Instead, it was the name on the invitation that no one would notice if they did not take a second look.
There were some things and some people that could not be hidden even if one wanted to.
Perhaps an ordinary cultivator would not notice Xiao Chen's situation. However, a cultivator with a certain level of strength would not overlook this subtle change.
The Three Holy Masters intentionally suppressed Xiao Chen, not letting the world pay too much attention to him. However, the more they did this, the more curious people became.
"Did you hear? Xiao Chen will not be able to attend the King conferral ceremony."
--- In a certain bustling teahouse in Tianwu City, someone brought up the hottest topic of the day.
Immediately, someone replied with a smile, "I heard about it long ago. The rumors are everywhere. Since the moment Xiao Chen left the Profound Domain, he has been under constant attack. First, he destroyed the Purple Night Sword Sect's attack. Then, he forcefully barged into Strange Fire City. After that, he was blocked by the three Sovereign Noble Clans. "
"Haha! The three Sovereign Noble Clans really made a big joke this time. They even used their Emperor Grade Secret Treasures. In the end, Xiao Chen killed the scions of their three clans and forced his way out."
"However, Xiao Chen's situation is not very good now, either. The people of the three Sovereign Noble Clans are looking for him. Some strong loose cultivators who want to take advantage of him also ran over. "
"It's not just not good. He is practically in danger. The latest news is that the great grandmaster-level Martial Sages of the Deity Race have already charged over. This is forcing Xiao Chen to his death!"
"Right now, there is no news of Xiao Chen. We do not know if he is dead or alive, or how he is doing."
"I think he is in danger. Even if he barely survives, he will not be able to rush to the King conferral ceremony."
At the end of the discussion, everyone felt that it was a pity.
The name White Robed Xiao Chen quickly spread throughout the Tianwu Domain after that famous battle on the Proud Son of Heaven Ranking.
After that, people started digging out information about Xiao Chen's experiences. The various things that happened after that made Xiao Chen even more famous.
Everyone slowly accepted the title of the Qing Emperor's descendant.
Originally, everyone thought that this King conferral ceremony would straighten out Xiao Chen's name. The title of Blue Dragon King would be rightfully given to Xiao Chen.
Who could have imagined that there would be so many twists and turns? First, it was delayed by half a year. Then, the Three Holy Masters played dirty tricks in secret.
Now, the situation worsened, directly interfering with Xiao Chen on the surface. They were just short of shedding all pretense of cordiality and personally making a move on Xiao Chen.
Anyone with a brain would be able to guess the reason behind it.
Ten thousand years ago, when the Dragon's Gate flourished, and the Qing Emperor shone dazzlingly, the Three Holy Masters were suppressed to the point where they could not raise their heads. The title of Holy Land existed in name only, completely ignored.
Now, the Three Holy Masters naturally did not want to experience that again.
Amid such discussions, the King conferral ceremony approached day by day. However, all news about Xiao Chen stopped.
It was like he had vanished completely. There was no news of the ten great grandmaster-level Martial Sages of the Deity Race, either.
Whether they found Xiao Chen or not, what was the result of the great battle, was like a stone sinking into the sea, silent.
"He can't make it. The King conferral ceremony is starting!"
On the day the King conferral ceremony officially started, there was still no news of Xiao Chen. The cultivators in the city who held expectations for Xiao Chen all sighed.
"How unfortunate. If we do not confer him a King this time, he will have to become a Sovereign Martial Emperor if he wants to obtain a King conferral in the future."
"It's difficult. Let's not talk about whether he's alive or dead. This setback will leave a shadow in his heart. Whether he can advance to Martial Emperor or not will be a problem.
"I wonder what the King conferral ceremony will be like? Unfortunately, there are no invitations!"
Some people looked in the direction of the Tianwu Plaza in the city, revealing curious expressions in their eyes.
The Tianwu Plaza was where the King conferral ceremony would be held. However, one needed invitations to enter. Those who could enter to watch the King conferral ceremony were either people from the Nine Ranks of the Great Families or famous experts.
There were many people who met the requirements. Nearly all the people who were invited were present. Nearly all the outstanding talents of the younger generation of the Kunlun Realm were present.
Some of the factions that had a good relationship with the White Emperor City would even send the Blue Robed Emperor, giving the White Emperor City a lot of face.
As for Emperor Wu, he was too far away. Unless there were great benefits, he would not be able to attract them.
At this moment, the White Emperor City's Xiahou Jue stood on a tall platform in the center of the flower-filled Tianwu Plaza. He had a wide smile on his face, looking very spirited.
Many golden statues stood behind the tall platform. All of them were cultivators that the Bushin Palace had conferred the title of King, representing great glory.
However, behind Xiahou Jue's smile, he still felt somewhat nervous. When he looked around, he saw a huge crowd. The people who came were all famous major characters of the Kunlun Realm.
All the famous outstanding talents of the younger generation had rushed over.
Xiahou Jue felt somewhat fearful of a certain person suddenly appearing and completely overshadowing his brilliance on this day when he should be in the limelight.
However, Xiahou Jue also felt some anticipation. Now that his strength had soared, he really wanted to compete with Xiao Chen in front of everyone.
Xiahou Jue's emotions were conflicted and complicated.
The black-clad old man presiding over the ceremony smiled reassuringly and said, "Young City Lord, don't worry. I received news that the ten great grandmaster-level Martial Sages of the Deity Race found Xiao Chen five days ago."
Xiahou Jue rejoiced in his heart. He suppressed his excitement and whispered, "Xiao Chen is dead?"
The black-clad old man replied, "I don't know about that. Right now, no one can find any news from either side. However, Young City Lord, don't worry. Even if he managed to escape, he would be severely injured. If he still dares to come to the King conferral ceremony, hehe!"
