Chapter 282: Night Banquet

Wan Ruohai smiled, "Brother Ling, with all due respect, the current situation is that it doesn't matter what the Ninth Princess thinks, what matters is what you think?"
"Me?"
"Yes, before I came over, the news came from the Jinluan Palace, the sword madness faced the saint directly, and once said that if the saint did not agree to this marriage, he would turn around and leave, but he would join the other third-class small countries to compete in the team......"
"Are you going to be blackmailed?"
Ling Zhi's eyes froze, and he suddenly laughed, "This sword maniac takes himself too seriously, doesn't he? Even if he joins the ranks of other countries? Does he still think that he is invincible in the world?"
Wan Ruohai didn't laugh, not only did he not laugh, but he was unusually serious, "In fact, it's true, the sword madness may not be invincible in the world, but in the eyes of the saint, together with the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, no one in my Great Xia Kingdom will indeed be his opponent except for the Great Prince Zhan Firmament."

Speaking of this, Wan Ruohai deliberately pointed at Ling Zhi, "Including you, Brother Ling!"
"Hahaha!"
Ling Zhi slapped the table and stood up, as if he had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world, "You mean, including the Holy Lord, everyone thinks that I am no match for him?"
Wan Ruohai said: "I didn't think it before, but after seeing the sword maniac himself, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty should all have this idea." ”
Hearing Wan Ruohai say this, Ling Zhi calmed down instead.
After all, this is the world of martial artists, whether it is the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty or the world today, it is not just a wine bag and rice bag that can talk about it, there are countless great masters in the martial arts realm from time to time, and there is no shortage of even half-step heaven-level masters.
Even if their own combat power may not be strong, the vision precipitated by decades of ruling the dynasty is definitely extraordinary.
Now everyone thinks that he Ling Zhi is not as good as a sword maniac, although there are reasons why he does not have a comprehensive understanding of Ling Zhi, but from another point of view, this son should have something extraordinary.
But so what?
Is Sword Maniac strong or weak, and what does it have to do with him Lingzhi?
Since he stepped on his head five times, he was killed with one punch.
Suddenly, he remembered something and said, "By the way, Brother Wan, I don't know how much you know about the person who fought the firmament?"
Whether it is in Ye Gucheng or in Yujing City, he is about to grow calluses when he hears the name of the battle firmament, and even the Emperor Puqi of the Yellow Dragon Kingdom of the first-class empire praises this person, although with his current strength, he does not think that there will be opponents in the same rank, but curiosity is inevitable.
Wan Ruohai's expression froze, he thought that Ling Zhi would ask about the sword maniac, but when he mentioned the name of Zhan Cangqiong, even if he was speechless, his face became serious, "Brother Ling, I'm really sorry, although I walk in the palace a lot, but I really don't know about the strength of Zhan Cangqiong, or rather, the entire Yujing City, I know his depth specifically, I'm afraid that only in the world today." ”
Ling Zhi was not surprised by the other party's answer, if a person is so easy to be seen, especially if this person is still the eldest prince in the curtain of the deep palace, then the battle sky is afraid that he is not worthy of being respected like this.
But he still asked with a hint of unwillingness: "I can't find any traces?"
Wan Ruohai groaned, as if looking for a memory, and it wasn't until a moment later that he said in a deep voice: "About ten years ago, well, anyway, I can't remember the specific year, at that time, the eldest prince was not as mysterious as the city government is now, and Xiu Wei had just advanced to the Xuanwu Realm not long ago, and he was once assigned by the Holy Lord to entertain a group of envoys from neighboring countries.
It was that time, for some reason, the master of the martial arts realm among the envoys seemed to have said something that should not be said, and finally caused the battle firmament dragon Yan to be furious, and then fought hard......"
Ling Zhi's face also sank, "What do you mean?"
Wan Ruohai nodded, "That's right, at that time, Zhan Cangqiong had just advanced to the Xuanwu Realm, and the master of the envoy's side was said to have been cultivated in the Martial Realm three times, and the final result was that the master of the envoy was completely broken in the meridians, and he was humiliated and committed suicide, and our Royal Highness the eldest prince, I heard that it seemed that he didn't suffer even a slight injury......
Xuanwu Realm Battlefield Martial Realm, complete victory!
Even if he had guessed that the legendary eldest prince should have some strength, after listening to Wan Ruohai's story, Ling Zhi's heart was still flooded with monstrous waves.
There is no shortage of geniuses in this world, and there are not a few people who can do the challenge of leapfrogging. Not to mention the rest, it is Ling Zhi himself, when he is in the Huangwu Realm, he can also fight in the Xuanwu Realm, and when he is in the middle and late stages of the Xuanwu Realm, he can also fight in the Martial Realm.
But you must know that even if he cultivates the Dragon Elephant Swallowing Heaven Sutra, the more he challenges the greater the level, he can only fight in the Xuanwu Realm when he is in the middle and late stages. can fight the sky, only the first time to ascend the Xuanwu Realm, or defeat the three great masters of the Martial Realm.
Such a rebellious move, this is not only a talent that can be explained, Ling Zhi is almost sure that there is definitely a big secret on the battle firmament.
Wan Ruohai didn't seem to want to talk more about the battle sky, and after seeing that Ling Zhi didn't ask more, he immediately pulled back the topic and said, "Brother Ling, let's not mention the matter of the eldest prince, I don't know how Brother Ling is going to deal with this level in front of me?"
Ling Zhi looked directly over and said, "What does Brother Wan mean?"
Wan Ruohai said: "Although there was no letter in the palace when I came, the answer is not difficult to guess, not to mention that the sword maniac himself is extremely powerful, it is the sword pavilion behind him, and the warriors who want to come to the imperial city are also unwilling to provoke, and once the saint nods and agrees to the sword maniac's request......"
Ling Zhi sneered, "Once the group of high-ranking people in the curtain agree to the sword maniac, I, Ling Zhi, must be the first person to be taken out by the Imperial City and sacrificed, is that the case?"
Sure enough, it is the heart of the emperor, and there is no reason at all.
In the past, seeing his Ling Zhi's strength, he did not hesitate to win him over with the title of King of a Hundred Battles, even if it was a serious crime such as leading troops into the imperial city, he could pretend to be deaf and dumb and ignore it.
But once they feel that they have a better choice, they will not hesitate to sacrifice themselves.
At this point, although Ling Zhi was born in a small place in Bianliang City, how could he not see clearly because he was a human being in two lives? There was not much resentment in his heart, anyway, it was an exchange of interests from the very beginning.
What he wants to know most now is, what does the Ninth Princess Zhan Mingyue think?
"Brother Wan, you haven't told me yet, what exactly does Mingyue think?"
Wan Ruohai couldn't help but laugh bitterly, "Brother Ling, I'm here now, can't I explain His Highness's intentions?"
Ling Zhi picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, and a warmth suddenly floated in his heart, "In this case, what does Brother Wan teach me?"
Wan Ruohai shook his head, "Brother Ling, you are the fastest growing and most talented person I have seen in my life, Wan Ruohai believes that one day, a pool of shallow water in this Great Xia Kingdom will definitely not be able to trap you......"
Ling Zhi smiled noncommittally, and said in his heart Where do you want something, one day? After experiencing the battle of Ye Gucheng, especially after killing the dignified ghost king with the soul lamp in the end, he really didn't look at it as a mysterious so-called half-step heaven-level master.
"Tomorrow is the grand event of the selection of the ten people of our Great Xia Kingdom, tonight, Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess will hold a banquet in the Luoying Colorful Palace, and personally entertain including the sword maniac, all of our Nine Great Tianjiao of the Great Xia Kingdom, now there are less than two hours before the banquet starts, Your Highness means to ask, are you going?"
Ling Zhi was naturally able to understand what Wan Ruohai meant.
As the saying goes, there is no good feast. The Ninth Princess is certainly a person who can be absolutely trusted, but in the Imperial City deep in the Luoying Colorful Palace, since the group of guys in the curtain of the Deep Palace are determined to get rid of themselves, how can they have no means?
Seeing that Ling Zhi was silent, Wan Ruohai continued: "Don't hide it from you, Brother Ling, this bureau has already been thought of when the sword maniac has just entered the Jade Capital City and challenged the geniuses of various families in a high-profile manner.
Since we can't change the minds of that group of people, then we can only speak with strength, if we want to break this situation, we can only be tonight, at the banquet, with lightning speed......"
Wan Ruohai made a gesture of wiping his neck with his hand, and looked at Ling Zhi solemnly, "The only question now is, Brother Ling, are you absolutely sure about the sword maniac?"
Ling Zhi put the remaining teacup on the table, got up and walked outside the house, seeing Wan Ruohai showing a puzzled look, he immediately smiled and said, "Brother Wan, didn't you say that there are still two hours before the banquet? Without further ado, let's leave immediately!"
Wan Ruohai was speechless for a while, and said in his heart that this is too confident, right? Just as he was about to get up, he suddenly remembered something, "Wait a minute, there is another thing I almost forgot to mention, tonight, Zhan Tianhou will also come......"
Ling Zhi's eyes narrowed, and a hint of murderous intent flashed, but he didn't say anything, waiting for Wan Ruohai's words.
"I heard that Xuanyuan Bugu and the Eight Princes have fallen to the side of the sword maniac, and they probably guessed that you would go tonight, so ......"
"So, even if I don't do it tonight, these two people at the banquet will take the initiative to instigate the sword to attack me, right?"
Ling Zhi sneered in his heart, and the cold light in his eyes became more and more fierce, "I thought I was just going to clean up a piece of garbage, but I didn't expect that there would be such a colorful head as Xuanyuan Bugu, since the sword maniac is so kind, Brother Wan, let's leave early!"
......
When the two of them stepped out of the Tianlong Sacred Courtyard, they were already full of lights, and thousands of homes were lit up.
The eight-hundred-mile imperial city is even more brightly lit, with dotted palace lights, undulating like a galaxy in the sky. It adds a bit of dreamy charm to this centuries-old ancient city.
Wan Ruohai took out a waist card and held it in his hand, and the road was unimpeded, not even a guard palace maid who stepped forward to interrogate, so he came to the door of Luoying Colorful Palace unimpeded.
"Brother Ling, please ......"
Wan Ruohai made an inviting gesture and was about to go up to the front to lead the way, when he suddenly took a look and looked back.
"Hahaha, Mr. Wan, you are busy, how dare you bother to go out to greet you in person?"
A hearty laugh came from behind, and then Ling Zhi saw a young man with a heroic and tall appearance, slowly coming with a leisurely pace.
"Yan Que, the peerless genius of the Yan family, a first-class family in Yujing City, is also one of the Nine Heavenly Pride!"
Wan Ruohai moved his mouth to Ling Zhi and said, then stepped out, and made a fist gesture towards Yan Que from afar, "It turns out that Yan Gongzi is here, hurry up, hurry up, please!"
"Mr. Wan is polite...... Huh, is that you?"
Yan Que came closer, and suddenly saw Ling Zhi standing next to Wan Ruohai, his eyes couldn't help but be cold, and even faintly revealed a trace of murderous aura.
