"Your Highness, you must redress my grievances. Kill that fellow and exact vengeance for me!"
In a sealed room, a disfigured and swollen woman knelt on the floor and howled.
She was the crown prince's consort, Lin Long, who had been beaten up and thrown to the ground.
At this moment, she had consumed some recovery medicine and recovered slightly. However, her body was still swollen and ugly.
In front of her sat a young man who seemed to be around thirty-four to thirty-five years old. His face was chiseled, and from the imposing aura he exuded from time to time, it could be seen that he held a high position.
He was the crown prince of Xuanyuan Kingdom, Ding Mu!
"Vengeance?"
Pah!
Ding Mu's face flushed in anger, and his body trembled slightly. "Do you know who you have offended? How dare you talk about vengeance with me? "
When Lin Long left the crown prince's residence, he wasn't around. Upon hearing the news, he immediately rushed over to see what was going on. However, he was still too late!
Knowing that his woman was beaten to a half-dead state, he didn't recklessly seek trouble with Zhang Shi. Instead, he sent someone to investigate the matter, and the moment he did, he nearly died from shock.
A genius master teacher who had broken countless records, and an unfathomable teacher...
What kind of person could the Lin Clan offend? Why did you have to offend such a formidable person?
Vengeance? How?
Not many people knew that Su shi and Ling shi had come to Mingshi Tang, and most of them were official master teachers. However, the truth was that Liang Qingming wasn't a match for them back then.
With a clear bellow, he rendered the Zhizun realm advanced stage expert and the Gold-scaled Lightning Beast powerless, and then, he threw them out. Even if the entire Xuanyuan Kingdom were to join forces, they wouldn't stand a chance against him!
If I were to exact vengeance for you, wouldn't the entire kingdom be sacrificed?
You must be joking!
"Of course I know who he is. He's a 2-star master teacher of Mingshi Tang, and he has a teacher who seems to be a 4-star master teacher!" Even though she was kicked to the ground, Lin Long didn't panic.
Instead, she sneered coldly. Since the crown prince had found out about it, she naturally went to look into it as well.
"Why are you still spouting nonsense? Even the weakest 4-star master teacher has to be a Transcendent Mortal. Putting aside Xuanyuan Kingdom, even in the League of Nations, such experts are influential figures. They aren't people we can afford to offend! "
Waving his hand grandly, Ding Mu made up his mind and said, "Alright, this matter ends here. Don't ever bring it up again!"
"Don't make a decision so early!"
Lin Long stood up. "Your Highness, do you know why my Lin family has enmity with this Zhang Xuan?"
"Is it because you killed his student's entire family that you attracted this trouble?" Ding Mu frowned.
"I was the one who sent people to kill Qu Chong's entire family, but does Your Highness know why I did that?" Lin Long asked.
Ding Mu frowned.
He really didn't know about this matter.
Rumor had it that Qu Chong's elder sister had a conflict with Lin Lang. The way he saw it, it was not that simple.
Even though Lin Long was protective of her own people, she wasn't someone who couldn't see the bigger picture. Otherwise, as the crown prince of Xuanyuan Kingdom, she wouldn't have fallen for Zhang Xuan.
Usually, he wouldn't act rashly. Why was he not afraid that the matter would be difficult to handle this time? Why did he make a move?
Could it be that there were some hidden secrets?
Ding Mu couldn't help but ask.
"Your Highness has always wanted to join the Fleeting Cloud Sect, and I've always kept that in mind... Actually, if you wish to succeed, Qu Chong is the key!" Lin Long harrumphed.
"Oh?" Ding Mu was taken aback.
Even though Xuanyuan Kingdom belonged to the League of Nations, the strongest power in the region was none other than the Fleeting Cloud Sect!
Of the seventy-seven Master Teacher Tournaments, thirty-six of them had won the championship. That was more than half of the total.
The best result the League of Nations had achieved was only twenty-third place, fifth from the bottom.
Ding Mu was the crown prince of Xuanyuan Kingdom, and he was bound to inherit the throne. However, his ambitions weren't limited to this. He had long wanted to join the Fleeting Cloud Sect, just that he hadn't had the chance to do so!
If he were to succeed, he would surely be groomed to become a Transcendent Mortal or even higher realms.
However, the starting point of the Fleeting Cloud Sect was too high, and it wasn't easy to enter it. On top of that, he was the crown prince of a neighboring kingdom. Without the recommendation of someone, it was impossible for him to enter.
"This Qu Clan looks like an ordinary clan, but several dozen thousand years ago, they were extremely powerful! Especially since their ancestor had once unintentionally saved Sage Min's life! "
Lin Long said.
"Sage Min? You mean … one of the 72 Sages of Kong shi … Sage Min shi? "Ding Mu's eyes narrowed, and his breathing hastened.
Kong Shi had three thousand disciples, and the most formidable of them were known as the 72 Sages. Sage Min was one of them, and he had participated in the founding of Mingshi Tang.
Unintentionally saved his life?
Wasn't this Qu Clan way too incredible?
"That's right! It's precisely because of this that they received Kong Shi's personal reply letter, and it has been passed down from generation to generation. "
Lin Long turned to look at Ding Mu. "Even though there aren't many words on the personal reply letter left behind by Kong Shi, Your Highness should be able to understand its value even without me saying it! If you were to obtain this item and present it to the sect head of the Fleeting Cloud Sect, putting aside becoming an inner disciple, even becoming a direct disciple or even an elder wouldn't be a problem! "
"This …"
Ding Mu's body trembled, and his body stiffened.
Kong Shi, the world's teacher.
The number one person in history.
His personal handwriting harnessed the principles of the world, and it had long been treasured by his students.
Even a 6-star master teacher would be overjoyed to accept Kong Shi's authentic handwriting as his direct disciple …
It was too valuable!
Putting aside the League of Nations, even the twenty-six other powers in the region might not even have a copy of it … Yet, the Qu Clan had it!
This …
Ding Mu's breathing hastened, and his mouth felt parched.
"Two years ago, he wiped out the Qu Clan. Since he made a move, he must have done it without any hesitation. How could he have intentionally left a trail behind?"
Lin Long harrumphed coldly. "Did that fellow think that no one would know him just because he changed his name to Lu Chong? What a joke! If we really want to find him, we have the Seeking Mouse. Not to mention that he hasn't changed his appearance, even if he has disguised his identity, we can still find him clearly! "
Lu Chong had been hiding in Tianwu Academy, and Ding Mu thought that the Lin Clan hadn't noticed him. However, it turned out that the Lin Clan had long known of his existence and just hadn't made a move.
After all, the Seeking Mouse was a fearsome existence. As long as it knew the scent, it would be able to find him easily.
If the Lin Clan couldn't even capture a Pigu realm teenager, it would be impossible for the Lin Clan to dominate the capital for so many years.
"The Qu Clan is extremely stubborn. No matter how we interrogated him, we were unable to find out the whereabouts of the item. Thus, we intentionally left him alive for him to find."
A glint flashed across Lin Long's eyes, and she continued, "Who knew that this fellow would be able to hold himself back. For the past two years, he hadn't made a move. Even if he didn't make a move, we would have made a move to capture him and investigate him. Who knew that this fellow would have a good teacher who was willing to stand up for him … "
At this point, Lin Long clenched her fists tightly, and hatred filled her face.
Even though she had married into Xuanyuan Kingdom and didn't return often, she was still aware of the happenings in the Lin Clan.
This was precisely the reason why she paid a huge price to build a Communication Wall. Just that, she didn't expect that the Communication Wall would be activated not because of the handwritten letter but the news of the Lin Clan's destruction.
"A good teacher? I don't think so! Perhaps, this Zhang Xuan already knew of the matter regarding Kong Shi's handwritten letter. Otherwise, why would a Zongshi realm pinnacle 2-star master teacher offend Xuanyuan Kingdom and the influential Lin Clan over a mere student? "
Liang Qingming interjected.
As a trusted aide of the crown prince, he didn't doubt Lin Long's words. Thus, he didn't hide such confidential information from her.
"Indeed, this must be the reason. Otherwise, even if he has Yang shi as his backing, he wouldn't have offended us for no reason and disregarded the authority of Xuanyuan Kingdom!" Lin Long roared furiously as she gritted her teeth.
If this wasn't the reason, she really couldn't understand why a promising 2-star master teacher would go to war with the Lin Clan and even pummel her, the princess consort of Xuanyuan Kingdom, for a student whom he had only known for a few days.
"Alright, this isn't the time to be discussing Zhang Xuan's motives!"
Ding Mu waved his hands to interrupt the duo's discussion. With reddened eyes, he said, "If the news is true, with Kong Shi's handwritten letter, putting aside a genius master teacher, even the League of Nations would be worth it!"
The League of Nations ruled over the Myriad Kingdoms, and while it was powerful, it could only be ranked at the bottom of the twenty-six powers in the region.
If the news was true, as long as they could obtain the item, they would be able to curry favor with the Fleeting Cloud Sect or even stronger powers. Thus, offending the League of Nations would be a huge win for them.
"Indeed, Your Highness. You must make a decision quickly. I've already sent someone to look into the matter. This Zhang Xuan has decided to leave Tianwu Royal City, and he has already bade farewell to Mingshi Tang and the others. This morning, he left for Tianwu Mountain Range. The League of Nations is located in the south, and he is heading to the southwest. If I'm not mistaken, he is probably searching for this artifact. If he were to obtain it and bring it back to the alliance, it won't be easy for us to snatch it back! "
Lin Long hurriedly said.
She wasn't a reckless person. It was only because she saw the pitiful state her father and younger brother were in that she lost her composure and suffered a vicious beating. Thus, she came to her senses and made preparations in advance.
"It's indeed impossible for him to snatch it back once he reaches the alliance. Just that..."
Ding Mu frowned. "His teacher and the two elders beside him..."
What he was worried about wasn't Zhang Xuan, but that teacher and the 'Little Su' who injured Liang Qingming.
With a Transcendent Mortal expert guarding the area, putting aside snatching the artifact, he would probably be killed on the spot.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. My men have already checked on them. That Little Su and the other elder have already left yesterday. When Zhang Xuan left this morning, Yang shi didn't follow him either. He only brought a few students and retainers with him! "
Lin Long said.
Su shi and Ling shi didn't hide their departure, so it wasn't difficult to find out about it.
This morning, Zhang Xuan and the others left on a massive Steelfang Howling Firmament Beast, and Pavilion Master Jiang sent them off personally. Even though Yang shi wasn't with them, there were many who saw him.
"He didn't follow them? Alright then... There are many savage beasts in Tianwu Mountain Range. For a group of people who haven't even reached Zhizun realm to die in there, as long as they are dealt with appropriately... no one should know the reason! "
Ding Mu stood up, and a vicious glint flashed across his eyes.
"It's decided then. Kill!"
(The war is about to begin. I beseech my WeChat fans to search for 'Sweeping the World' or 'hstysds' to add me!)
