"This old man was planning on letting Hongling train on the battlefield. I'll leave her to Little Friend now!"
The white-robed elder said with a smile.
"The battlefield of the non-humans is extremely dangerous. This junior is useless and probably won't be able to protect Lady Hongling!"
Zhao Feng's expression turned to surprise as he finally understood what the white-robed elder was trying to say.
If Tie Hongling stayed by his side, wouldn't his relationship with the Tie Family become more and more complicated?
If something really happened to Tie Hongling, then Zhao Feng would never be able to escape the Tie Family.
"Young Sir Zhao already hates Hongling?"
Tie Hongling had a playful smile as she looked at Zhao Feng.
"Little Friend Zhao, there's no need to be humble. It's decided then!"
The white-robed elder said with a chuckle.
However, Zhao Feng's expression changed. The Tie Family's Grand Elder reminded Zhao Feng of the Flooding Lake City Lord of the Azure Flower Continent.
Going against the Tie Family's Grand Elder obviously wouldn't end well.
"The Tie Family only wants to bring me and Tie Hongling together. As long as I completely ignore her or even ignore her, I believe that Tie Hongling will start to hate me …."
Zhao Feng thought of a plan. As long as Tie Hongling hated Zhao Feng, then this wouldn't happen.
In the end, Zhao Feng didn't say anything else. The matter was decided just like that.
Some figures slowly appeared in the hall after Zhao Feng left.
"Hongling, is this how you feel about Zhao Feng?"
The white-robed elder asked with a smile.
"Grandpa, can't you tell what Hongling is thinking?"
Tie Hongling's face went slightly red as she revealed a determined expression.
"Hahaha, didn't I say that Zhao Feng's potential definitely surpasses any genius on the Imperial Dao Rankings? There's no need to test him!"
Tie Hongnan's voice sounded.
…
After returning to where the Ninth Prince and company were staying, Zhao Feng told them everything that had happened.
"Brother Zhao, this is a good thing. I heard that Tie Hongling's talent isn't any weaker than Tie Lingyun's, but because Tie Lingyun's elder has too much power in the Tie Family, Tie Hongling wasn't able to get a spot in the Crown Prince trial!"
Old Ying immediately said with a smile.
"Haha, in addition, Tie Hongling is also a great fighter. She will be of great help to you!"
Sacred Lord Cang Qiong laughed.
Many geniuses from the Eight Great Families and various forces tried to woo Tie Hongling, but none of them succeeded. Now, the Tie Family actually gave Tie Hongling to Zhao Feng. How could the young geniuses of the Great Gan Dynasty accept this?
"That's right. Tie Hongling is quite a force to be reckoned with!"
Old Ying agreed.
Zhao Feng then learned from Old Ying that Sacred Lord Cang Qiong was only sent by the imperials to protect the Ninth Prince and wouldn't fight for the Ninth Prince.
This meant that the battle-power of the Ninth Prince's side was indeed a little low.
Luckily, the Ninth Prince could use the members of the forces behind him after arriving at Lan Province.
For example, if the members of Zhao Feng's Ocean Smoke Pavilion were in Lan Province, then they could be moved to the Ninth Prince's stronghold.
In addition, Zhao Feng also learned of the Ninth Prince's main mission: to take over the city.
Half of the Great Gan Dynasty's territory had been lost, so they obviously needed to take it back.
It was easy to defend a city, but it was hard to attack. Almost every city or stronghold had a Sacred Lord guarding it. Taking over a city obviously required a lot of battle-power.
This meant that Tie Hongling was indeed very useful. Although she was only a Quasi-Sacred Lord, her strength was comparable to normal Sacred Lords. She couldn't defeat non-human Sacred Lords, but she could stall them.
The next day, Tie Hongling left with everyone and headed toward Lan Province.
"Isn't this the Crown Prince?"
A voice sounded from below before they even left the palace.
"So, it's Thirteenth Brother!"
The Ninth Prince greeted him with a smile.
There was a total of one hundred subordinates that came with the Thirteenth Prince, and there were five abnormally powerful auras next to him.
"I heard that Your Highness is heading toward Lan Province. Maybe I will meet you on the same battlefield. Please take care of me at that time!"
The Thirteenth Prince gave a fake smile.
Everyone's heart shook. The Thirteenth Prince knew the Ninth Prince and company's target as soon as he arrived. Coincidentally, the Thirteenth Prince was also heading to Lan Province.
"Of course. We're all imperials, and we need to work hard to take back the territory that the Great Gan Dynasty has lost!"
The Ninth Prince immediately said.
After becoming the Crown Prince, the Ninth Prince had learned a lot. He had to wear a mask in front of certain people.
"I wish the Crown Prince a safe journey!"
The Thirteenth Prince left after saying that.
Everyone then sat on the flying flaming chariot and headed toward Lan Province.
The flying chariot was very crowded with one more person. Tie Hongling obviously followed Zhao Feng, but Zhao Feng was in seclusion and didn't bother to talk to her.
"Brother Zhao's willpower is really good!"
Emperor Ghost Scales sighed in his heart.
Several dozen days later:
Everyone arrived at a city in Lan Province – Jiabao City.
"Your Highness, I'll leave this place to you!"
The Sacred Lord that was originally guarding Jiabao City left with some of his trusted subordinates and headed back to the War Hall in Lan Province.
The War Hall was the same as where they stayed in Ling Province; it was the headquarters of every province.
Of course, the War Hall in Ling Province had the highest authority.
Many captains and soldiers were reluctant to see the Sacred Lord that was guarding Jiabao City leave. After all, this Sacred Lord had fought with them for a year.
The ranks of the members in the city were very simple. They were split into generals, captains, and soldiers. The general was obviously the Ninth Prince.
The captains were Emperors and Quasi-Sacred Lords, and they were split into three stars. The higher the star, the more soldiers they could lead.
The lowest requirement for a soldier was the True Spirit Realm.
"Ai, it's over now. How can the Crown Prince know how to fight?"
"Shh, keep your voice down. The main thing is that the Crown Prince doesn't have any Sacred Lord experts by his side, but there should be someone who can strategize!"
"You're right. Moon Dragon City has two non-human Sacred Lords. Looks like it won't be possible to take it over, and we might even lose the city!"
Many captains and soldiers didn't have a good impression of the new Crown Prince, and they even had a negative attitude.
The next day:
The Ninth Prince summoned the captains for a meeting. One reason was to familiarize themselves with each other, to understand the current situation, and to discuss strategies.
Although the captains didn't have a good impression of the Crown Prince, they didn't dare to show it.
The captains were attracted by Tie Hongling as soon as they entered the hall.
Some of the captains recognized Tie Hongling's identity and gave up on the idea. At the same time, they were puzzled as to why Tie Hongling from the Tie Family was with the Ninth Prince.
"Jiabao City's main target is Moon Dragon City. Moon Dragon City has forty-three captains and two Sacred Lords …."
The meeting started. A three-star captain started to explain the current situation to the Ninth Prince and company, who had just arrived.
Compared to the battle-power of Moon Dragon City, the overall battle-power of Jiabao City was slightly lacking after the Sacred Lords and Quasi-Sacred Lords left. They only had thirty-two captains, and only four of them were three-star captains.
After familiarizing himself with the situation, the Ninth Prince appointed four new captains. They were Old Ying, Zhao Feng, King Ghost Scales, and Tie Hongling.
According to the rules, the four of them had to start as one-star captains. They would only be able to increase their stars after their abilities as captains were good.
"Senior Ying, please take care of me in the future!"
"Lady Hongling, I didn't think that I would be able to see you again!"
The other captains all started to talk to the new captains.
Almost all of the new captains were brought by the Ninth Prince, and it was only a matter of time before they became three-star captains. Tie Hongling was obviously the most popular.
However, Tie Hongling didn't care about these captains. Her gaze was always on Zhao Feng, which made some of the captains unhappy.
After the meeting ended, Zhao Feng, the members of the Ji Family, and Emperor Ghost Scales left together.
Ji Lan, Ji Wuye, and company could have become captains as well, but they were too young, and it wasn't too safe for them to become captains.
Furthermore, Zhao Feng needed to be responsible for their safety, so the three members of the Ji Family were placed in Zhao Feng's group.
"Emperor Ghost Scales, it won't be long before you become a three-star commander as well!"
Zhao Feng comforted.
The other captains were rather cold toward Emperor Ghost Scales, who had never been heard of before.
After returning to his residence, Zhao Feng immediately entered seclusion.
Within the Misty Spatial World, a bottle of multi-colored honey appeared in Zhao Feng's hand.
"I can raise my Sacred Lightning Body to the 6th level now!"
After the Crown Prince trial ended, Zhao Feng had been busy cultivating his soul and eye-bloodline. He then created the Little World of Illusions and traveled a long distance.
Now, everything had finally stabilized.
Furthermore, Zhao Feng had used a portion of the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey before the Crown Prince trial. If the time between using it a second time was too short, the effect of the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey would decrease.
In order to maximize the effect of this portion of Hundred Origin Sacred Honey, Zhao Feng had been dragging it out.
"After breaking through to the 6th level of the Sacred Lightning Body, I can fight against normal Sacred Lords with just my physical strength alone!"
The 6th level of the Sacred Lightning Body corresponded to Sacred Lords.
Quasi-Sacred Lords were comparable to Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords in terms of power, Intent, and other aspects. However, their body hadn't evolved enough, and they hadn't become a Sacred Lord yet.
Zhao Feng's strength had surpassed Quasi-Sacred Lords long ago. Once his body reached the threshold of the Mystic Light Realm, Zhao Feng would be able to be called a Quasi-Sacred Lord.
Zhao Feng immediately ate a portion of the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey and felt a holy aura spread through his organs, limbs, and bones, reaching the Crystal Core dimension and the Lightning Soul.
Zhao Feng felt as if his entire body was being nourished by the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey and ascended.
However, the effect and absorption rate of this portion of Hundred Origin Sacred Honey was lower than the first time.
Zhao Feng immediately circulated his Sacred Lightning Body.
Hu ~ ~ ~
His body suddenly became taller, and golden-blue light surrounded his body. Exquisite lightning symbols faintly appeared on his body and occasionally released lightning.
After circulating his Sacred Lightning Body, the effect of the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey doubled, and it was used to refine his body to the greatest extent.
This time, Zhao Feng planned to use all of the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey to increase his state of existence.
Zhao Feng's eyes were tightly closed, and a layer of Fire of Wind Lightning surrounded his body.
Crack! Crack!
At a certain moment, the bones in Zhao Feng's body started to crack, and scarlet-golden symbols appeared on his skin and released a golden light.
Hu ~ ~
In that instant, Zhao Feng's bones and body expanded by half. He was like a true giant, and his body had surpassed normal humans.
Weng ~ ~
A faint scarlet-golden physical force appeared around Zhao Feng's body, and an invisible physical force of lightning spread.
Rumble!
Boom! Boom! The area several yards around Zhao Feng instantly caved in and turned black.
Luckily, Zhao Feng was within the Misty Spatial World, or else his residence would have been destroyed.
Weng ~ ~
The faint scarlet-golden physical force around Zhao Feng became brighter and almost materialized. In the end, these scarlet-golden symbols condensed on the surface of Zhao Feng's body.
"6th level of the Sacred Lightning Body!"
Joy and joy appeared on Zhao Feng's face.
