The original mission of missing people was convinced that the Heavenly Cult was behind it. I once tracked down a cave where one day the cult Juggernaut was manipulating monsters to attack humans. I escaped by chance.

Alas...

What you said is right, what happened at the beginning was indeed done by the Heavenly Cult, but now many places in the West have been occupied by Ouyang Yu. These are already meaningless things.

I also know that it has been too long, more than a year, and I'm afraid you already know. Liu Hao laughed self-deprecatingly.

It doesn't matter, it's not easy for you to escape with your life in that situation. So what exactly are you doing with me this time?

The main reason why I came here this time is to participate in the mainland elite competition, but there is one more trivial matter, please ask Dean Ouyang to give me some advice, Liu Hao smiled embarrassedly.

Oh?

Could it be that there is something wrong with your cultivation? Your master Huo Lie is also an elite among the sword gods, why can't he guide you?

No, I'm referring to the rubbing master, because I have reached the peak level of the saint level, but I don't have a clue about breaking through to the god level, and I hope the dean can give me some advice.

Have you reached the peak of the saint level? Ouyang Xiao was surprised, it has been less than two years, and you have actually won the title of god-level rubbing? How can we old guys live? Ouyang Xiao looked injured.

I could have seen from the beginning that you were the most rebellious genius of our Hongyu Royal Academy, and even the "divine sons" cultivated by the empire could not be compared. So what is the strength of your soul?

The peak of the Sword Saint has not yet reached the level of the Sword God, Liu Hao replied truthfully. Since then, he still trusts this Dean Ouyang very much, and secondly, there is no point in concealing them, how can he say that he is a student, these are his own teachers.

Good, good, good.

Sure enough, we are the most rebellious genius, I also know a lot about you, go, I will take you to see the emperor, Ouyang Xiao pulled Liu Hao up and walked outside.

Liu Hao didn't know why he wanted to take himself into the palace, but he also promised Ouyang Yuxiang to go at night, so it didn't matter if he went early or late. Listening to the soldiers, they should have something to help themselves. But what is the matter? Liu Hao has some guesses

Sure.

Dean Ouyang: Is Shangguan Tian'er in the academy? Is she also going to participate in the Mainland Elite Competition? The two walked while Liu Hao asked what he wanted to know most.

If he hadn't been dragged into the palace, Liu Hao really wanted to go to Shangguan Tian'er later. I haven't seen each other for a few months, and the feelings of longing are like springs.

Shangguan Tian'er?Ouyang Xiao was stunned, are you talking about the Shangguan Tian'er from the Mingyue Sect?Ouyang Xiao frowned.

He still knows this Shangguan Tian'er, after all, this is one of the three beauties of Hongyu, and even the dean knows it.

yes, what's wrong?Liu Hao asked.

I don't have anything to tell you the truth, she left almost with you on a mission, and she hasn't come back yet. Could it be that I encountered something unexpected during the mission? Or I went back to Mingyue Sect, I don't know about this matter. Ouyang Xiao said.

Didn't come back? Liu Hao's mind flashed countless possibilities, but none of them could answer his question.

Is this true? Liu Hao asked again. He was a little unsure whether what Dean Ouyang said was true or not.

If you don't believe it, you can ask your uncle, Vice Dean Bai Qingsong, he has been in the academy, and he takes care of everything when I am away, even if you don't believe me, can you still believe your uncle?

This one?

So this Shangguan Tian'er really didn't come back, did he go to Mingyue Sect, or did he deliberately want to hide from himself? Liu Hao felt empty for no reason, as if something he had been looking forward to for a long time suddenly disappeared. That feeling of loss is really uncomfortable.

As the only god-level rubbingist in the entire Hongyu Empire, Ouyang Xiao's power is very great, not to mention that he is a member of the Ouyang family.

Wherever he passed, no matter what kind of guards he was, he didn't dare to stop him, and they saluted one after another, and a broad road led straight to the depths of the palace. I knew that I had come to a huge palace.

Antai Palace, this is the place where the emperor usually deliberates, and the emperor should be here at this time.

Is the emperor here?" Ouyang Xiao asked.

Master Guoshi, the emperor is discussing matters inside, do you want to go in? The emperor has ordered you to meet the emperor at any time. The guard said respectfully. This guard commander is a master of the sword.

Then let's wait a while, although the emperor gave him so much power, he still has to respect the relationship between the monarch and the minister, he is not a reckless man without brains.

Liu Hao, shall we wait a while?

Liu Hao nodded, this Ouyang Xiao obviously had something to use himself, so it was them who were most anxious and not himself. Liu Hao was even already thinking about how he should get benefits if they asked for anything?

Lord Ouyang, the emperor invites you in. It hadn't been five minutes before the Commander of the Guards spoke.

Well, okay, Ouyang Xiao walked in first, and Liu Hao followed.

This hall is very huge, with a radius of about 200 meters, it can accommodate at least thousands of people to discuss matters, all kinds of carved railings and painted pillars, statues of rare and exotic beasts, decorate the whole hall, set off the majesty of the whole hall.

Behind a large desk, Emperor Hongyu was sitting there reading a book, but Liu Hao saw that his eyes were full of vicissitudes, and it was obvious that he had been having a bad time recently, and it was a kind of exhaustion caused by worry.

Uncle Xiao, you're here. This is Liu Hao, right?

The boy Liu Hao greeted His Majesty. Liu Hao bowed without kneeling.

Hehe, I haven't seen you in the past two years, you are a lot taller, your face has changed, and your strength has doubled, the emperor said kindly. Someone, take a seat?

Two wide chairs were lifted, and Liu Hao and Ouyang Xiao naturally sat down directly.

Liu Hao, I've heard everything you did before in the Barren Mountains and the Sunset Imperial Capital. You are really a young genius of the younger generation, how good would it be if I Hongyu could have a genius like you?

If there is anything the emperor asks, the boy listened. Liu Hao said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

I know that your father Liu Feng is still trapped in the Sunset Imperial Capital, if you want, my Hongyu Empire is willing to send a strong man to help you rescue your father, what do you think?

This?

Your Majesty, the boy is useless, I'm afraid I can't afford it, and I once vowed to rescue my father by myself, otherwise I would have gone to ask my master to teach them. Liu Hao said.

Hehe, you've been to the Sunset Empire too. I don't think the Four Sages alone can save your father, it is an empire after all, and it can't be broken by a few people.

Your Majesty, I'll tell Liu Hao about this matter, and as for other things, we'll talk about it later. How is it?Ouyang Xiao said.

Well, that's fine.

Liu Hao, here's the thing, I discussed with Your Majesty before, let you represent our Hongyu Empire to participate in the Continental Elite Competition, in the name of our Hongyu Royal Academy, and you are also considered to be a member of my Hongyu Empire. Ouyang Xiao said.

I represent the Hongyu Royal Academy in the past, but how can I be regarded as a member of the Hongyu Empire? Liu Hao does not think that he is a member of the Liu family, but he always thinks that he is a free man and has no country.

It's just a title, and I won't hide it from you, now the Hongyu Empire is divided due to the rebellion of Prince Yu, which has led to a decline in national strength, and it is not much stronger than the Roland Empire in comparison. Our country needs heroes. As long as you admit that you are the Hongyu Empire

and won the championship of the Continental Elite Competition in our name, then I can marry my daughter Princess Yuxiang to you, how about it?"
