The Nine Dragons Seal was the national treasure of the Xiang Royal Family of the Northern Yan. At this moment, Xiang Long had taken out the Nine Dragons Seal not only to add the mark of the Nine Dragons Seal on Xiang Chong, but also to intimidate him. As for who he was intimidating, everyone knew with a single glance that it was Shang Tianliang who stood beside Chu Xiu.
If not for Shang Tianliang, Xiang Long might not have arranged all this in such a hurry.
A Heaven and Earth Elemental Enlightenment cultivator was too powerful, so powerful that even a dynasty had to be cautious.
"City Lord Shang, if you were to go up against this Nine Dragon Seal, how confident are you?" Chu Xiu secretly transmitted a message to him.
Shang Tianliang stared at the Nine Dragon Seal for a long time, then said, "I don't know.
This thing was nurtured from the Dragon Vein. What it represented was the will of this world to begin with.
I am still not used to the way you fight here. The power of heaven and earth that I can use is not as much as this external object.
However, external objects are external objects after all. It depends on who uses them. If it is one of the stronger True Fire Spirit Refinement State cultivators, I don't have much confidence. "
Among the three dynasties, even the weakest Western Chu had some resources. Otherwise, they would have been usurped by others long ago.
The Nine Dragon Seal was the foundation of the Northern Yan, or even one of them.
According to the Northern Yan custom, the Crown Prince would have the Nine Dragon Seal on his back. Because the Nine Dragon Seal contained the blood of the ancestors of the Xiang royal family, it represented the official recognition of the crown prince.
Moreover, as long as the Nine Dragon Seal was imprinted on the body of a member of the Xiang royal family, it would form a certain connection with him. As long as he was within Yan Jing City, if he was hurt, he would be protected by the power of the Nine Dragon Seal.
This was to prevent the emperor from being assassinated. Although it didn't work every time, it had at least helped the previous Northern Yan emperors fend off many assassination attempts.
Otherwise, with the extent of Xiang Long's hatred, he would probably need several martial artists in the True Fire Spirit Refinement Realm to guard him at all times to ensure his safety.
Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes and suddenly sneered in his heart.
Xiang Long was afraid.
As the monarch of a country, Xiang Long actually used such a superficial method to threaten others. Xiang Long was obviously afraid. He was afraid that under his pressure, he would turn hostile, and in the end, Northern Yan would be in a mess.
In fact, Xiang Long was thinking too much. Chu Xiu was actually a person who knew his limits. Even with Shang Tianliang present, Chu Xiu would carefully evaluate the strength of both sides before deciding to fall out with Xiang Long.
The Northern Yan was Xiang Long's Northern Yan, but it was also the territory that Chu Xiu had managed for such a long time. It was also Xiang Xiang Long's territory. Once the table was flipped, it Chu Xiu's efforts would be Chu Xiu would be's Clan. Dragon. Chu would Long Yan Clan of Long.
Northern Yan belonged to Long and Long of the Northern Yan. Long Chen, Su, Chen, Jin Long Yan, King Long and Xiang, he said.
As far as he knew, Chu Xiu was not someone who would swallow humiliation like this. What was he thinking?
The plan had been laid out. Xiang Long did not care about what tricks Chu Xiu had up his sleeves. When the seal was complete, Xiang Chong's entire body was enveloped in a faint light. After a long while, the light completely disappeared into his body.
Only then did Xiang Chong realize that he seemed to have really become the Crown Prince of the Northern Yan, the heir to the empire?
Xiang Long said solemnly, "Chong-er, you are now the Crown Prince, but you are still young. In all aspects, you must listen to the opinions of the Northern Yan elites. They will assist you in governing the country, so I am not worried. I heard that you are very interested in martial arts. This time, I have also found a teacher for you. "
Everyone was slightly taken aback. At this time, Xiang Chong walked out and brought in a middle-aged man with a sword.
It should be noted that this was the imperial court. Even generals like Beigong Baili were not allowed to carry weapons. Chu Xiu would not go overboard. Although he had a weapon with him, he had placed the Heavenly War Case in a secret space box.
However, this person was actually holding a sword so openly. His attitude could be said to be extremely arrogant.
But although this middle-aged man was arrogant, he was extremely ordinary in other aspects.
His aura was restrained, so his specific strength could not be seen. But Chu Xiu was sure that this man was definitely in the True Fire Spirit Refinement Realm. The reason was simple. If the other party's realm was lower than his, no matter how well he restrained his aura, Chu Xiu would still be able to see through him.
This middle-aged man was only wearing a greenish-grey coarse short robe. There were even patches in some places. His appearance was also extremely ordinary, and his expression was dull. To be more accurate, it should be said that he was indifferent. It was as if the Emperor of Northern Yan and all the experts in the hall were all illusions to him.
The only thing on him that seemed more luxurious was the sword in his hand. Although the blade of the sword was not seen, the scabbard was made from the skin of a giant beast in the sea. It could be used to enhance the sharpness of the weapon. A palm-sized piece of the scabbard was worth ten thousand taels of gold.
Xiang Long said in a deep voice, "This is Mister Kang Dongming, the Sword Sage of the Eastern Sea. From now on, he will be your teacher."
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire audience was in an uproar. They all looked at Kang Dongming with astonishment.
Chu Xiu transmitted his voice to Mei Qinglian, "Who is this? Is he famous? Why have I never heard of him? "
Mei Qinglian said, "It is normal that you have not heard of him. This Sword Sage of the Eastern Sea came to the Central Plains when you were in seclusion. He is so famous that even Wind Sweeping Tower does not dare to give him a ranking now, because who knows when it will be changed again.
This person was born overseas and has always been traveling overseas. His swordsmanship is unfathomable.
A month ago, he suddenly appeared in the Central Plains and challenged Yan Zhi of the Storm Sword Mound alone. He defeated the enemy in three moves.
He then went to the Forgotten Sword Hut and challenged the leader of the Sword Hut, Shen Baochen, and won.
After that, he went to the Western Desert and challenged the leader of the Sword King City, 'Heavenly Sword' Shen Tian Wang, and won.
He did not go to the Hidden Sword Villa. Perhaps in his opinion, the Hidden Sword Villa was no longer worthy of his challenge.
In a short period of time, he battled three major sword sects and won three consecutive battles. Kang Dongming even gained the reputation of being the number one swordsman in the world. He was called the Sword Sage of the Eastern Sea.
However, it is said that this person's tracks are hard to find and he has a strange personality. Other than the fact that he likes to challenge strong swordsman, no one knows what he wants. Why is he relying on Xiang Long now? "
What Mei Qinglian and the others did not know was that part of the reason why Kang Dongming appeared in the Central Plains was because of Xiang Chong.
When Xiang Chong went to Jiangshan Pavilion to negotiate, he happened to meet Kang Dongming.
Kang Dongming was not a member of Jiangshan Pavilion. To be precise, he was a guest of Jiangshan Pavilion.
A swordsman also needed to eat. Other than practicing swordsmanship, Kang Dongming knew nothing else in his life. Where did he get all the cultivation resources, including his sharp sharkskin scabbard? It was all earned by being a guest elder of the Rivers and Mountains Pavilion.
Moreover, being a guest of Jiangshan Pavilion was very interesting. Only when he was penniless would he come to Jiangshan Pavilion and be a guest of Jiangshan Pavilion for a period of time. He would leave after receiving a certain amount of monthly salary.
Therefore, Jiangshan Pavilion could not do anything to this guest of theirs. They even offered Kang Dongming a huge sum of money just to stay in Jiangshan Pavilion. However, Kang Dongming rejected them outright.
When Xiang Chong arrived at Jiangshan Pavilion, he happened to meet Kang Dongming. No one knew what he said, but he managed to trick Kang Dongming into coming to the Central Plains. That was how Kang Dongming consecutively challenged three major sword sects in the Central Plains.
Chu Xiu squinted his eyes and sized up Kang Dongming. However, this person still had a dull look on his face. It was as if he was daydreaming.
This person was an extremely simple swordsman. He was even purer than some of the major sword sects in the world.
In the past, the five major sword sects had fought for the position of the top sword sects. They had not given way to each other. They had even caused a great battle on Mount Fuyu, but no one had won.
Now, they had been challenged by an outsider. He had even earned the title of Sword Saint. This was a huge slap in the face.
Faced with this result, the three sects could not say anything.
Kang Dongming had challenged them in front of everyone. It was only a competition of swordsmanship. It did not involve the interests of any sects.
Otherwise, with the power of the three sects, it would have been very easy for them to keep Kang Dongming, who had not reached the Metaphysic Realm of Heaven and Earth. It was just like the Sword King City's King Sword and the Sword Soul of Wind and Cloud Sword Tomb. They had too many trump cards. However, in the face of such a simple challenge of swordsmanship, if anyone used such methods to fight the enemy, it would be a disgrace to swordsmanship.
Since the death of Sword Saint Gu Qingcheng 500 years ago, no one in the Jianghu could live up to the title of Sword Saint.
Now, Kang Dongming was called the Sword Saint of the East Sea. Although he added the word "East Sea" in front of the title, it represented the recognition of many experts in the Jianghu.
At this moment, Xiang Chong almost fainted from the surprise. He hurriedly walked up to Kang Dongming and bowed respectfully. "Teacher."
He knew what Xiang Long meant. He was looking for someone to rely on and accumulate power for him.
Previously, he had been worried that although he was the Crown Prince, he was too weak. He could not compare to the influence that Xiang Li had built up for more than a decade.
However, in the blink of an eye, Xiang Long had helped him solve all of this.
No matter how strong Xiang Li's influence was, could it be stronger than Kang Dongming, who had defeated the experts of the three major sword sects and won the title of Sword Saint of the East Sea?
Since Xiang Long had decided to support Xiang Chong as the Crown Prince, with his personality, he had to make sure everything was ready.
However, in the face of the Crown Prince's bow, Kang Dongming only nodded slowly. He did not even say a word, as if he did not understand what this meant.
However, Xiang Chong did not care. With such a strong master as a teacher, even if he was only on his side, the deterrence was already shocking enough.
After saying so much, Xiang Long seemed to be on the verge of collapse. After saying that the court was dismissed, he left with Eunuch Han's help. The others also left with their own thoughts.
The news that day was too shocking for them. They needed time to digest it.
