That year, the Dragon Monarch Realm experienced a rare snowstorm. Four cities and twelve counties were washed away by the snowstorm, and more than six million refugees rushed into the capital. Dragon Cloud Emperor urgently ordered the Minister of State to settle the refugees. At the same time, he gave the Minister of State a huge problem: he had to beautify this disaster so that the dignity of the Dragon Monarch Imperial Court would not be lost.
The minister was a wily old fox. He used the excuse of 'auspicious snow to indicate a bountiful year' as an excuse to have a 'national celebration' for the next year's harvest. For this reason, he invited the students of the various academies to come to the Heavenly Capital and hold a 'Dao Realm Verification' conference. The so-called 'Dao Realm Verification' conference was actually a battle of magical powers. At that time, the Heavenly Star List hadn't been published yet. The academies were full of rising stars who had power but nowhere to use. Thus, this invitation was enthusiastically received.
This year was the third year that Li Ku came to the Heavenly Capital.
The conference was held in the square of Dayu Academy. On the day of the conference, the academy made an exception and opened it to the public, so that the common people could have a chance to see the glory of the students of the various academies. At that time, Guan Shanhai had just made a name for himself in the Jixia Academy, while Li Banshan was already invincible in the Limitless Academy. He was also at the prime of his life. Coupled with the fact that he was the successor disciple of the Dao Court, he had countless admirers and followers. The young people who would shake the Three Realms in the future all rushed into the Heavenly Capital, making this ancient capital with deep foundation unprecedentedly lively and prosperous.
Because of the ferocity of the academies, the effect was beyond the minister's expectations. Thus, he ordered everyone in the Sky class that Li Ku was in to participate in the 'Dao Realm Verification' conference. If they didn't obtain the corresponding ranking, they would not be able to drop out of school. At this time, Li Ku, who didn't want to be separated from his lover, quarreled with Ban Zhao many times because of Bai Xing's clear intention to stay as an instructor. Ban Zhao regarded Li Ku as his favorite student and was even more diligent than his direct disciple. He himself, for some reason, didn't want to become an official, so he placed all his hopes on Li Ku, hoping that he could enter the military and serve the empire. Li Ku regarded the honor of the Dragon Emperor Imperial Court and the academies as dirt. He looked down on the authority of the military even more. When he found out that he couldn't drop out of school if he didn't obtain the ranking, he was overjoyed. On the day of the conference, he disappeared without a trace.
If he didn't participate, wouldn't he not obtain the ranking? If I can't get a ranking, doesn't that mean I can't drop out of school? If he couldn't drop out of school, he wouldn't have to go to the military, and he could be with Bai Xing. However, he didn't know that his choice would trigger a series of events. First of all, the Limitless Academy was like a hot knife cutting through butter, suppressing the other academies. Due to his absence, the Dayu Academy was at the bottom of the four academies. They were still three matches away from the first place. Most of the spectators were local citizens of Tianjing. Seeing that their own school's performance was so terrible, they were instantly disappointed. The imperial court's propaganda of the school had become nonsense.
The academy and the imperial court were both anxious, quickly sending people to search for Li Ku, while also planning how to beautifully turn things around. Otherwise, the academy's face would be completely lost, the imperial court's dignity even more so impossible to protect. In the end, they came to a conclusion: to obtain an important victory and settle the situation in one fell swoop. Their target was naturally Li Banshan, who had the most victories.
However, most of the people in the Sky class had already been defeated. Now, only Bai Xing was qualified to challenge them. Under such a helpless situation, Bai Xing was sent to face off against the Dao Court's future sect master, Li Banshan.
This battle lasted for a long time. In the end, Bai Xing was heavily injured and defeated because of some misgivings. The Dragon Emperor's imperial court's reputation was greatly tarnished. The conference was nearing its end. Other than Li Ku, who didn't participate, everyone from the Dayu Academy had lost, losing the right to continue.
…
Li Ku angrily rushed into Bai Xing's room, only to see her pale face lying unconscious on the bed. The medical officer was currently taking her pulse. Ban Zhao erupted with anger towards Li Ku for the first time in history. "Look at what you've done! If it wasn't for the fact that you didn't have enough victories, the academy wouldn't have sent her to deal with Li Banshan. Let me tell you, Li Ku, if you continue like this, sooner or later, the people around you will all die because of you! "
Li Ku didn't talk back for the first time. After remaining silent for a long time, he said, "Sir, is it too late for me to go up now?"
Ban Zhao's anger immediately turned into joy. He said, "Then you have to think clearly. While defeating Li Banshan and proving your strength, His Majesty won't allow you to be an instructor in the academy. Joining the military is your only path in the future."
"I have to take revenge!" Li Ku said as he turned around to leave.
"Child, you will shine brilliantly!" No one understood Li Ku's strength better than Ban Zhao. At this time, Li Ku had already comprehended the Concealment of Intent. He was already invincible in the same realm.
The medical officer treated Bai Xing, and then left with Ban Zhao. Not long after, an uninvited guest arrived. Ji Yuyu sneaked into Bai Xing's room while no one was paying attention to him. With a guilty conscience, he looked outside for a long time. After confirming that no one noticed him, he hurriedly closed the door, walked over to the bed with a cold smile, and sat down.
"You slut, this crown prince is completely infatuated with you, yet you don't even give me a look. What is so good about that soldier barbarian, for you to care about him like this …"
Ji Yuyu was struggling inside as well. After all, what he was about to do next would damage the crown prince's reputation, and it would also make his originally already unstable throne receive even greater shocks. However, he really desired this woman too much. Ever since he was young, as long as something caught his eye, he would use any means necessary to obtain it. This type of rare opportunity definitely wouldn't appear again before he ascended the throne.
"As long as you carry this crown prince's child, what can Li Ku do to me? Could it be that father will cripple me for the sake of a soldier barbarian? I want to sit firmly in the east palace, I also want to obtain this woman. This is also the foundation of my cultivation! " Ji Yuyu's eyes flickered with an extraordinary desire. In addition to the "Cave Spirit", he also cultivated a strange cultivation technique. As long as he could satisfy his desire once, his cultivation would improve by leaps and bounds. But if he couldn't satisfy his desire, he would suffer a very strong backlash.
"Don't blame me!" He took a deep breath, forcefully enduring his impatience. He reached out his hand to stroke this woman's beautiful hair in a infatuated manner. The dense fragrance from her hair left him intoxicated. Suddenly, his hand felt pain. Like a startled grasshopper, he jumped backwards. When he focused his eyes, he met this woman's sharp gaze. This was an expression he had never seen from Bai Xing before. It carried the coldness and alienation of someone in a superior position, as well as a powerful ice-cold loathing. It was an incomparable dignity that was even deeper than his father the emperor's, locking him in place, not allowing him to budge an inch. This type of feeling disappeared in a flash. He forced out a smile.
"You, you woke up?"
"I also heard your vulgar and ugly muttering." Bai Xing's voice was as sharp as a different person's.
Ji Yuyu's expression changed again and again. Soon afterwards, he became calm again. "I don't understand what you are saying. I just came to take a look at your injuries. Since you woke up, there shouldn't be any major problems. I will take my leave first. "After saying this, he turned around to leave.
"The human race is quite good, full of enthusiasm towards life, full of imagination towards things, a large portion of people full of love … However, the ruler is too ugly. Only a few hundred thousand of the six million refugees have been settled down. The corpses you all piled up by the canal bank, when do you plan on dealing with them? Are you going to wait until spring, when the frozen earth softens before burying them? "
Bai Xing's sharp questioning made Ji Yuyu's hand that was about to open the door go rigid, but he quickly recovered. He didn't say anything else, continuing to open the door and leave. When he walked out from the courtyard, he turned around to look at the bedroom hidden within the garden. Then, he lowered his head to look at his own hand. Sunlight moved between the branches and leaves, casting down a few mottled strands of sunlight on his palm. A strand of hair on his palm shockingly flickered with golden radiance.
News of Li Ku defeating Li Banshan spread like wildfire, all of Heavenly Capital erupting into commotion. This name immediately changed from being a moocher king to a synonym for a hero.
After graduating from the Sky Grade Class, Bai Xing stayed in the Education Palace to become an instructor. Li Ku went to report to the military, but every three months, he would return to the Education Palace to see Bai Xing, rain or shine. Meanwhile, Ji Yuyu was caught up in the whirlpool of the struggle for the throne. He was the crown prince, a thorn in the flesh of who knew how many princes.
Afterwards, Heavenly Capital's turmoil continued for an entire fifteen years. Ji Yuyu overcame all obstacles, ultimately defeating all of his competitors, moreover forcing back Dragon Flame Emperor, smoothly ascending to the throne. During these fifteen years, his hatred towards Li Ku never changed, and his desire towards Bai Xing became more and more intense. Men had this type of heart. What they couldn't obtain would always be the best, no matter how much time had passed.
After Ji Yuyu ascended to the throne, he immediately felt that the time had come. He sent a eunuch to bring that strand of hair to see Bai Xing.
Bai Xing followed the eunuch into the palace to meet the emperor.
In the imperial study, Ji Yuyu arrogantly looked down from above, "We already knew your identity. Asura Clan's Goddess Fu Heng, in the Asura World, your status is even higher than the emperor's. Do you know why we allowed you to be a spy in the Education Palace? "
"Why?" Bai Xing said.
Ji Yuyu proudly stood up, his back straight, his eyes shining as he stared at the beautiful woman's face, "In order to completely obtain you, we must ascend to the throne and rule the Asura Clan through you."
"You are delusional. The Asura Clan can't be ruled by you," Bai Xing said.
Ji Yuyu smiled, "We will make you the empress. The human race and the Asura Clan will join hands, and the world will be ours. Don't you feel tempted?"
Bai Xing said, "I told you fifteen years ago, the human race is good, but the ruler is too ugly. In these fifteen years, although I have been in the Education Palace, I have seen all of you fight for power and deceive each other. In order to eliminate your competitors, you don't care about the life and death of the common people. You view their lives and wealth as something that belongs to you, and you don't feel ashamed at all. Let me tell you, in the Asura World, the responsibility of a king is to protect his subjects. A king who doesn't know how to protect his subjects will be eliminated in the end! "
"Oh?" Ji Yuyu mocked, "You can't even protect yourself now, and you still want to criticize the human race's throne? Let me also tell you, you only have one choice now, and that is to become our empress. Otherwise, we will make Li Ku die without a burial place! "
Bai Xing was shocked and angry, "You and I have a grudge between two worlds, why do you want to drag him into this?"
Ji Yuyu's eyes revealed a cruel glint, "Why do you think we kept him for these fifteen years? Do you know how to wear down a man's will? It is to make him unable to move up or down. He has been in the army for fifteen years, and now he has barely become a general. The tiger's claws and teeth have already fallen off, we can take his life at any time! "
Bai Xing quickly calmed down and made a decision that she had thought about long ago. "The Asura Clan will never compromise." After saying this, she turned into a beam of divine light and shot into the sky.
After a moment of shock, Ji Yuyu couldn't help but wring his hands and stamp his feet. He never expected that this woman would break into the Divine Domain one step ahead of him.
Half a month later, the Asura World attacked Chang Province with the strength of two races, starting the Battle of Fallen Gods that lasted nine years.
