Chapter 261: The King Returns (asking for monthly ticket)
"Master Qingxu, and everyone else, I have a suggestion."

Nalan Zhi stood up from his seat and spoke.

"Oh?"

True Lord Qingxu turned and looked at Nalan Zhi.

Li Fei also looked at the other party calmly.

In fact, Ke Yan didn't need to remind him, he also guessed that the other party might attack him at the banquet tonight.

As for the way to launch the attack, in front of so many people, the other party certainly cannot bully the weak, nor can they use any despicable means.

There are only a few types.

Li Fei was not afraid at all!

"You may have heard that more than a month ago, Hongyi University went to Datong Prefecture and had an exchange match with Wu'an University. I thought I would see Li Fei at that exchange match, but he did not show up at that time."

Nalan Zhi glanced at Li Fei and said loudly:
"We at Hongyi University are actually very curious about this number one in history and would like to have a conversation with him, but unfortunately we were unable to do so last time. This time we have the chance to meet him, and I would like to take this opportunity to make up for this regret. I hope that True Lord Qingxu and you will help me."

As he spoke, he bowed to True Lord Qingxu who was sitting on the main seat.

"Brother Nalan, how do you want to communicate?"

Zhenren Qingxia on the side asked.

Nalan Zhi smiled and said, "Of course, we make friends through martial arts and learn from each other."

True Man Qingxia frowned, and before she could speak, Nalan Zhi looked at Li Fei:
"Today you represent Wu'an University, and I represent Hongyi University. Originally, we should have been sparring with each other, but after all, I am so much older than you, and my realm is far higher than yours. It would be too much of a bullying to spar with you."

As he spoke, he looked at a young man beside him.

The other party immediately stood up from his seat.

"His name is Meng Tao. He is a professor at Hongyi University. He is 22 years old and has just broken through to the Dao Foundation Stage for a year."

Nalan Zhi pointed at Meng Tao and introduced him.

This Meng Tao had challenged the "one-armed" professor of Wuhan University in the "academic exchange" more than a month ago, and had learned the "fast sword technique" from him.

Although he was defeated in the end, he also demonstrated his excellent swordsmanship and fighting ability.

"He is similar to you in both age and realm. Why don't we let him represent Hongyi University and have a sparring match with you, the representative of Wu'an University, for the benefit of True Lord Qingxu!"

Nalan Zhi pointed at Meng Tao and said to Li Fei.

He said that it was "Qingxu Zhenjun's joke." "Play" does not mean to tease, but to perform or show.

Playing tricks on a True Lord cannot be considered as humiliating Li Fei.

Moreover, Li Fei was restrained. If Li Fei refused, it would be suspected of not giving face to Master Qingxu.

Besides, Li Fei now represents Wuhan University. If he avoids the fight, it will make Wuhan University lose face.

After all, the opponent's age and realm are indeed similar to his.

With Nalan Zhi's level, it is naturally impossible for him to compete with Li Fei.

So his initial plan was to let Meng Tao from his sect challenge Li Fei.

Meng Tao is a professor at Hongyi University, while Li Fei is just a student at Wuhan University. Originally, their status were not equal.

But now Li Fei is the leader of Wuhan University and represents Wuhan University, so there is no problem with this identity.

In order to protect Li Fei, Shi Caiming forcibly raised his status, but this move was a flaw in Nalan Zhi's eyes.

Because the status and strength are completely unequal!

Li Fei broke through to the Dao Foundation Stage three months ago. Nalan Zhi found out that Wu Da had purchased a third-grade inferior implant [Youzu] from another province more than two months ago.

He knew that the strength that Li Fei cultivated was Vajra Strength. Combined with the [Youzu] that Wuda spent a lot of money to buy, it was easy to infer that the foundation of Taoism that Li Fei wanted to cultivate was [Hunyuan Tianjin].

Then, by inquiring about the time when Wuda will purchase the next fire-attribute implant [Yanxin], you will know that Li Fei’s current realm only incorporates two implants.

Even though Li Fei has cultivated [Youzu] to the Qi transformation stage, and completed deep-level stimulation, developing core-level extraordinary abilities, Li Fei's combat power is at most the third-level Daoji stage.

With the addition of combat talent and advanced martial arts, the maximum level that can be reached is level 3.5.

Isn't it easy to target a 3.5-level Daoji-stage warrior?

Meng Tao sent by Nalan Zhi also had two implants and two core-level extraordinary abilities, which put him at the third-tier Dao Foundation Stage.

After the last battle with the "one-armed" professor of Wuda, his swordsmanship had made another breakthrough, and his combat power could already be considered at level 3.5.

Of course, if it were just this, Nalan Zhi wouldn’t be so confident in Meng Tao.

The important thing is that the strength Li Fei practices is of gold attribute, while the strength Meng Tao practices is of fire attribute.

Fire overcomes gold!
When the realms are similar, the conflict between the five elements will have a great impact on the battle.

Finally, for this battle, Nalan Zhi specially prepared other means for Meng Tao.

So he thought that this battle was a sure win!

His plan was to defeat the representative of Wuda in public, embarrass Wuda, and seriously injure Li Fei, thereby hindering the progress of this peerless genius in his cultivation.

Li Fei glanced at Meng Tao and was about to speak when Ke Yan suddenly stood up and said:

"Vice Principal Nalan, isn't it inappropriate for us to exchange martial arts on this occasion? Besides, today is the day when the Daluo Sect is hosting a banquet, and it would be a bit of a distraction for our two families to exchange martial arts here."

Nalan Zhi smiled and said, "Since it's a banquet, what's wrong with having a program? I asked the two of them to play a trick on True Lord Qingxu out of respect for him and the Daluo Sect. How can it be considered as stealing the show?"

"The Professor Meng Tao you mentioned is 22 years old this year, four years older than our leader. He has also been in the Dao Foundation Stage longer than our leader. I don't think this kind of competition can be considered fair."

Ke Yan was very eloquent and raised the point of rebuttal again.

Nalan Zhi chuckled and glanced at Li Fei:
"Since your team leader is the best in history, where can you find an opponent of the same age and realm as him? Could it be that he will only dare to spar with opponents who are younger than him and have a lower realm than him in the future?"

Ke Yan frowned, not expecting that Li Fei's "first in history" would become the opponent's breakthrough.

Yes, they are both the best in history. Where can they find opponents of the same age and level?

Moreover, in the martial arts world, the strong are respected and the accomplished are given priority, and there has never been a saying of respecting the old and loving the young.

Being young is not an excuse to avoid fighting.

You will face challenges that match your identity, this is the truth in the martial arts world!
Since Li Fei is a representative of Wuhan University, he must be mentally prepared to face challenges.

"Li Fei."

At this moment, True Lord Qingxu spoke.

As soon as he spoke, everyone shut up and looked at him.

"Junior is here."

Li Fei saluted upwards.

"If you are willing, then let's have a sparring match. If you are not willing, that's fine too. There is no need to feel pressured."

True Lord Qingxu smiled gently.

Nalan Zhi's eyes changed.

He didn't expect that True Lord Qingxu would be quite nice to Li Fei. But it didn't matter, he had never thought that this competition would be successful from the beginning.

If Li Fei refuses, it will be he and Wuhan University that will be embarrassed, but Hongyi University will not suffer any loss.

"Thank you, Zhenjun."

Li Fei saluted again, and then said word by word:

"I am willing to play it for you!"

Hearing this, everyone present had different expressions.

Nalan Zhi smiled, feeling that he had correctly calculated the temper of young people.

Ke Yan also felt that although Li Fei looked gentle, respectful and frugal, he was still young and hot-tempered after all, and he couldn't hold back when he should have.

Now that True Lord Qingxu has spoken, why should you fall into his rhythm?

The two professors from Wuhan University have confidence in Li Fei.

As for the rest, most of them were there to watch the fun, but they were also curious about the importance of this "first in history".

"In that case, please have a sparring match."

Seeing Li Fei's answer, True Lord Qingxu nodded and agreed to the fight.

Just as Li Fei and Meng Tao were about to leave, a sharp voice suddenly came from outside the hall:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived——"

This voice made everyone present stunned.

His Royal Highness? !
This is a name that is definitely not to be taken as a joke.

Sitting in the main seat, True Lord Qingxu looked out of the palace door calmly.

Soon, a young man dressed in white, with a jade crown on his head and jade pendant on his waist, looking very noble, walked into the hall surrounded by a group of people.

On the left of this young man were several Taoists who were also wearing Taoist robes, but the styles and patterns of their robes were different from those of the Daluo Sect.

The few people following on the right had pale faces and no beards, and looked very sinister. They were obviously eunuchs in the palace.

"See His Highness the Crown Prince!"

The vice president of a university stood up first and saluted the visitor.

He had been to the palace and met the emperor and the prince.

In the main seat, except for True Lord Qingxu, everyone else also stood up.

Now it is impossible for the person's identity to be fake.

Everyone present stood up in thought, sudden realization, or bewilderment, and saluted the newcomer:
"See His Highness the Crown Prince!"

In the entire hall, only True Lord Qingxu was sitting.

A Zhenjun is also a "Jun". He doesn't have to bow even when meeting the emperor, so he naturally doesn't need to perform rituals for a crown prince.

"Hahaha, no need to be so polite, please take a seat."

The Crown Prince of the Great Blue Dynasty laughed and waved to everyone, then he shook his sleeves and bowed to the True Lord Qingxu on the main seat, saying:
"I came here uninvited, I hope you won't mind."

True Lord Qingxu slowly stood up, walked down from behind the main table, walked towards the Crown Prince who had suddenly visited, and said with a smile:

"Your Highness's visit to our Daluo Sect is a blessing for our Daluo Sect. How can I blame you? But if Your Highness wanted to come, why didn't you tell me in advance so that I could have someone prepare a bed for you."

"Hahaha, you're too polite, Master."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled and said, "Not long ago, my father taught me: If you don't know the world, how can you rule it? So he ordered me to inspect the seven provinces in the southwest. I heard that the Daluo Sect was going to hold a Qionghua Banquet today to entertain representatives from thirteen universities. I also had the spur of the moment idea and wanted to join in the fun, so I rushed here as fast as I could and finally arrived in time."

"I see."

True Lord Qingxu nodded, with an expression that said, "I know you are talking nonsense but I really believe it."

When everyone present heard this, their expressions varied.

They have all heard that the Daluo Sect lost the elixir intended for His Majesty.

As soon as the elixir was lost, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was sent to inspect the seven southwestern provinces.

The Daluo Sect happens to be within this range.

And it just so happened that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly arrived tonight.

How could there be no connection between these things?

True Lord Qingxu looked at the Taoist priests in Taoist robes who came in with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince:
"Then I wonder why you, Junior Brother Xuanchen, are here?"

Xuan Chen, a Taoist master from the Shangqing Sect, one of the three Taoist sects!
Xuan Chen first saluted to True Lord Qingxu, then looked at him calmly:

"Greetings, Senior Brother Qingxu. Senior Brother asked me why I came. As everyone knows, the martial arts exchange competition that His Majesty is going to hold is jointly participated by the three Taoist sects and all universities. Since my Shangqing Sect is one of the three Taoist sects, and today's banquet is related to the upcoming martial arts exchange competition, why can't we come?"

Xuan Chen's words frightened everyone present even more than the Crown Prince's sudden visit!
Although people always talk about the three Taoist sects, they have always been accustomed to focusing only on the Daluo Sect and regarding the will of the Daluo Sect as the will of Taoism as a whole.

As the recognized ancestral home of Taoism, Daluo Sect has always regarded itself as the leader of Taoism and represents the entire Taoism to the outside world.

In the previous martial arts exchange competition, Shi Caiming only came to Daluo Sect and had a face-to-face talk with Qingxu Zhenjun once, and the matter was finalized. He did not go to Shangqing Sect and Yuhua Sect again, because he tacitly assumed that Daluo Sect would take care of the other two sects.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

But now, from what Xuan Chen said, it seems that there is a problem within Taoism.

It seems that Shangqing Sect has no intention of continuing to follow the big brother Daluo Sect?
Is this the Crown Prince on the list?
If this is true, then the situation in this world will change, and the impact will be no less than that brought about by the establishment of the thirteenth university, Hongyi University, and may even be greater!

The university representatives present had different thoughts. They were all weighing the pros and cons and thinking about how the situation would change next.

Facing Xuan Chen's questioning, True Lord Qingxu just smiled:
"Junior brother, you misunderstood. I was just curious about why you guys suddenly got together with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. We are all from the same sect, so how can I not welcome you?"

"Your Highness, and Junior Brother Xuanchen, please."

True Lord Qingxu stepped aside and motioned for them to take their seats.

"Haha, thank you very much, Master. Please come in."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled.

Everyone walked towards the main table in front.

After some refusals, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rejected Lord Qingxu's invitation to let him sit in the main seat. In the end, Lord Qingxu sat in the main seat, and he sat on the left of Lord Qingxu. Master Xuanchen of Shangqing Sect sat on the right of Lord Qingxu, and the rest of the people moved their seats in turn.

As for the eunuchs brought by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, they all stood on one side.

But everyone present had good eyesight and could tell that these eunuchs were all masters of the palace and they did not dare to underestimate them at all.

After everyone was seated, there were two 'lords' in the hall.

A true lord!
A crown prince!
The Qionghua Banquet has only truly begun tonight.

PS: In the first two volumes, the protagonist has always fought many levels higher than the opponent, because the plot requires it. This volume will be different, and there will be many plots where the protagonist "beats" the opponent, so that everyone can experience the real "invincibility"~
I try to write it as wonderfully as possible so as not to make you aesthetically fatigued~
Finally, please give me a monthly ticket
