"C?"

Li Rui's lips twitched.

According to the system's display, it's clear that they are not satisfied with only surpassing one minor realm.

'That's really strict.'

Although his record is already quite outrageous.

Because the higher one's cultivation level, the greater the barrier becomes, and the difference between each minor realm is enormous. Those who can fight beyond their level are all top-tier prodigies.

Li Rui withdrew his gaze, turned and flew away, returning to Pei Yao's side.

"Mr. Pei."

"Fellow Daoist Li."

Pei Yao looked at Li Rui, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes. In a daze, she seemed to see the shadow of Gao Tianxia from back then.

The legendary Gao Tianxia defeated the late-stage Shu Sword Saint in the mid-game and then ascended to become the number one swordsman in the world.

That battle.

She was the witness.

Unexpectedly, hundreds of years later, she witnessed the rise of Li Rui, Gao Tianxia's grand-disciple.

Their connection is quite deep.

'This lineage is truly full of monsters.'

Burning Heart Immortal Dynasty, Southward Looking City.

Laughter echoed from the city lord's mansion.

Inside the room, several stunningly beautiful women intertwined, forming a seating arrangement like twin lotus blossoms. A young man dressed in a crimson-gold python robe spoke, "Mr. Yuan is truly a remarkable person. I am very satisfied with the gift you gave me."

Of course, it's not this chaise longue made by a woman.

Although he liked it very much.

The reason he came to Nanwang City and specifically sought out the newly promoted runner-up was because of a magical book called "The Art of Relieving Anger".

This "Qi-relieving method" is an extremely rare supernatural power of qi circulation.

For a prince like him, it was nothing short of a supreme treasure.

Naturally delighted.

"It is my honor to serve the prince."

Yuan Xiangang was very respectful.

Looking at Yuan Xiangang's appearance, Zhao Ke, the eighth prince of the Burning Heart Immortal Dynasty, couldn't help but click his tongue twice in his heart.

Check it out.

This is how things should be done.

Look at that top scorer, what do you mean by "neither humble nor arrogant"?
They're just dogs picked out by the Burning Heart Immortal Dynasty, what right do they have to be humble?
The runner-up did a great job.

The Eighth Prince Zhao Ke adopted a humble and respectful demeanor: "Mr. Yuan is a celestial being with profound knowledge. He should indeed be the top scholar. It's just a pity that he comes from a humble background. But that's alright. When I return, I will put in a good word for him with my father. Getting him a third-rank official position will not be a problem."

He knew exactly what was going on.

The fact that the second-place scholar went to such great lengths to find the "Method for Relieving Anger" for him was clearly for the purpose of getting a promotion.

Coincidentally, he also needs people to mentor him.

A third-rank official could be of considerable use to him.

I'd be happy to give them a push.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Yuan Xiangang bowed again.

Seeing this, Zhao Ke was even more satisfied.

Just as he was about to offer a few more words of praise, a rapid sound of horses' hooves suddenly rang out from outside the door.

Zhao Ke frowned slightly.

Several soldiers of the Crimson Fire Guard staggered in. "Lord Yuan, something terrible has happened! His Highness Prince Zheng?!"

Zhao Ke stared coldly at him: "Speak, what happened?"

The Crimson Fire Guard general swallowed hard and recounted everything that had happened in Jade Dragon City.

"what?"

"You mean Si Nankui was forced to reincarnate by a cultivator in the early stage of the Celestial Realm?"

Zhao Ke narrowed his eyes slightly, a look of surprise flashing across his face.

He knew Si Nankui; he was a military cultivator with superhuman strength and extremely powerful combat abilities. He had made many contributions in capturing flags in the north. He never expected that he would die at the hands of a cultivator whose cultivation level was lower than his own.

"Yes Yes."

The Crimson Fire Guards all nodded vigorously.

"Alright, I understand. I will report this matter to the imperial court."

Zhao Ke waved his hand.

See this.

The Crimson Fire Guard soldiers looked at each other, and then could only obediently retreat.

soon.

Only Zhao Ke and Yuan Xiangang remained in the room.

Zhao Ke smiled and said, "Mr. Yuan, is this the third gift you mentioned?"

"Yes."

Yuan Xiangang readily agreed.

Not bad.

Si Nankui was killed by his scheme.

"good very good!"

Then Zhao Ke burst into laughter: "He deserves to die!"

He received a secret letter informing him that Si Nan Kui had secretly allied himself with his mortal enemy, the third prince of the Burning Heart Immortal Dynasty.

In fact, his purpose in coming to Zhennan Army was to take the opportunity to punish Si Nankui.

Unexpectedly.

He was directly killed by Yuan Xiangang.

Zhao Ke then showed interest: "Mr. Yuan, how did you know that Li Rui was so capable?"

In his opinion.

Si Nankui was not the problem; it was just that Li Rui was so powerful that he was unreasonable, which led this fierce general to fall into the trap and lose his life.

But how did Yuan Xiangang know that?
Yuan Xiangang smiled slightly:
“I traveled extensively in my early years and visited the State of Yu, so I am quite familiar with the situation there.”

"Oh?"

Zhao Ke raised an eyebrow slightly and immediately promised:
"If Mr. Yuan can take over that enclave of the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty, I can promise that you can become a marquis there."

another side.

In the Qian Yuan Immortal Dynasty, there was a magnificent mansion.

"A cultivator at the early stage of the Celestial Realm killed a mid-stage Celestial Realm cultivator?"

When King Xuan'an heard the news, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Finally, he grinned and said, "Impressive! I knew I hadn't misjudged this kid."

Not bad.

The news that Li Rui forced Si Nan Kui to disintegrate had already reached the Qian Yuan Immortal Dynasty.

They were utterly astonished by the abilities of this second-rate immortal prince.

It should be noted that even the most talented individuals among the great immortal sects might not be able to accomplish such a feat.

A glint of light flashed in King Xuan'an's eyes.

Now is the perfect time to strike while the iron is hot.

He had always advocated uniting with smaller countries to contain the Burning Heart Immortal Dynasty. In this way, the Qian Yuan Immortal Dynasty could stabilize its borders and save a lot of military manpower. If it wanted to be stable, it had to take the initiative and not be like those old cowards who thought about closing themselves off all day long.

Li Rui's move this time gave him an excellent reason.

The more impressive the performance of the Yu Kingdom and the smaller kingdoms, the more likely they are to persuade those old guys to change their minds.

After all, while the Qian Yuan Immortal Dynasty could intervene, it didn't intend to be the sucker who had to constantly clean up their messes.

Prince Xuan'an shouted loudly towards the outside, "Agui, bring me my python robe."

soon.

A quick-witted young man walked in: "Is Your Highness going out?"

"Quickly bring me the python robe, I wish to see the Emperor!"
