C27 A Guest from Afar

At this moment, the entire Hangu Plain was boiling with excitement. This was the battle between the strong. Everything happened in the blink of an eye. They felt that the battle had ended not long after they arrived. This was a battle of speed. Obviously, County Lord Linxiang had the upper hand in terms of speed.

Those who came to Hangu Plain came from thousands of miles away to watch this battle, although the battle only lasted for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. However, none of them felt that it wasn't worth it. Ten thousand miles away was just to watch a battle that lasted less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. This was the martial spirit of this world. Combat was the highest existence in their bones.

"Brother Jiulong, we are guests from afar. Today, in my Linxiang territory, I must properly perform my hospitality as a host." Although County Lord Linxiang had won, he didn't show any arrogance. Instead, he said to County Lord Jiulong.

"No need! I still have many things to deal with in Jiulong County. It has already been three months since the examination of Wuning Mansion's Holy Safety Academy is about to be issued. I still need to go and test the geniuses of Jiulong County so that I can recommend Holy Safety Academy. Although I have lost to you in this competition, in terms of recommending the disciples of the Holy Security, our Jiulong County cannot lose to your Linxiang County anymore. " County Lord Jiulong waved his hand and harrumphed.

Every year, there were two ways to recruit disciples in Holy Safety Academy. The first was to recruit rogue cultivators under the age of 25 and apply for the exam. The other was to recommend cultivators below the age of 25 in the prefecture under the jurisdiction of Human Clan to participate in the examination. Of course, the results of these two methods were different. Once the candidate passed the examination, he would immediately become an inner disciple of Holy Safety Academy. After all, the person recommended by the princesses was basically the best in their respective counties. As for the rogue cultivators, since there were no sects or schools, even if they passed the examination, they would only be outer disciples. Of course, the Holy Safety Academy would also choose a portion of the people to enter the inner sect. However, the requirements for the test were relatively higher.

This was the same as the second generation of officials in the mortal world. The second generation of officials had a high starting point because of their status and background, while ordinary people could only take one step at a time if they did not have any status or background.

Fortunately, once this kind of rogue cultivator successfully entered the inner sect, his position would be the exact opposite. They would be much higher than those recommended people. After all, the number one power in the Human Clan wasn't brainless. Those who didn't have the innate advantage could only rely on their acquired cultivation to pass the outer circle and enter the inner circle. They were definitely the cream of the crop amongst the cultivation geniuses. They, the Saints, must be nurtured with great effort. It was also because of this that the difficulty of the inner sect examination for rogue cultivators was extremely high. After all, these people had no sects or schools, and the purpose of the Divine Safety Nourishment was to unite all the sects. He would not waste resources to nurture a worthless person.

Tianyu had already left the prefecture where Lin Family of Zhongnan was located. Naturally, he didn't have any recommendations, so he could only apply for the rogue cultivator examination. Of course, there would be many difficulties, but Tianyu wasn't afraid. No matter how difficult it was, it wouldn't stop his desire to take revenge.

"If that's the case, I won't keep you anymore." After County Lord Jiulong gave a negative answer, County Lord Linxiang didn't try to persuade him to stay. He also knew County Lord Jiulong's temper. He probably wouldn't want to stay because he had lost face this time.

"Goodbye. Humph." County Lord Jiulong cupped his fists and said to County Lord Linxiang. After that, he glanced at the tens of thousands of people who were discussing below the ground and disappeared into the horizon in a flash.

"As expected, we can't afford to lose face." County Lord Linxiang smiled and said to himself as he looked at County Lord Jiulong who was walking away.

After that, he flashed and floated in the sky above Hangu Plain. At this moment, he was standing proudly in the sky, looking down at all the cultivators. An endless domineering feeling emerged in his heart.

"Today's competition has ended. All of you can return to your respective residences now."

"County Lord Linxiang, County Lord Linxiang..." All the people of Linxiang County and Jiulong County immediately shouted at County Lord Linxiang. After all, this was the continent. The strong were always respected, and the losers would always be forgotten. A second ago, the people of Jiulong County were still cheering for County Lord Jiulong, but a second later, they were all cheering for County Lord Linxiang.

"Father." County Lord Jiu'er looked at County Lord Linxiang, who was under everyone's attention. At this moment, she was incomparably happy in her heart, and flew towards County Lord Linxiang before Kwoo Tianji.

"Fellow Daoist, I will go first. Fellow Daoist, follow me!" Kwoo Tianji looked at Tianyu, who was deep in thought, and smiled. If County Lord Linxiang was here, he would definitely make a trip to Yongchang Mansion. Therefore, he did not need to invite him on purpose. If he did, it would be annoying to invite him too much.

After saying that, Kwoo Tianji flew towards County Lord Linxiang. At this moment, Tianyu looked at the people who were discussing amongst themselves. He didn't know what to think at this moment.

This might be the influence of the strong! So many people had come to this place to watch a battle that lasted for less than an incense stick of time.

Looking at County Lord Linxiang in the sky, and then looking at the slowly dispersing crowd, shouldn't I leave?

Tianyu didn't intend to go and find County Lord Linxiang. He was just passing by. If it wasn't for Kwoo Tianji's invitation, he would have already arrived in Wuning Mansion, so he wanted to leave now.

However, he was a little reluctant to leave. Why did he say that? The reason was that County Lord Linxiang's Elemental Sword Transformation had deeply touched him. Although County Lord Linxiang used a wind attribute cultivation technique, and the Profound Spirit Sword was a fire attribute cultivation technique, however, it did not matter. Don't forget that Tianyu cultivated four types of elements at the same time.

Although the different elements were a counter to two people's skills, compared to one person, they could be converted into any type of element. After all, this was the energy in his body.

This Elemental Sword Transformation was quite exquisite. If it was like what Shui Wuhen and County Lord Jiu'er had said, then the Elemental Sword Transformation could also be a catalyst for Shui Wuhen.

County Lord Linxiang had already reached a certain level in his sword arts research. If he could receive his guidance, then his sword arts cultivation would be much more efficient. Tianyu pondered.

However, Tianyu shook his head. I should leave! The Yongchang Mansion was a level 9 sect, so it was better to not get involved in it. It's better to avoid unnecessary trouble, my goal is in Wuning Mansion. After thinking for a while, Tianyu turned around and prepared to blend into the crowd and return to Yongchang Mansion.

"Young man, you are a guest from afar. It is better to meet you by chance. Since you are here, why don't you follow me to the Yongchang Mansion? I heard from Jiu Er that you want to practice your sword technique. I can use this opportunity to give you some pointers. Perhaps it can match your years of cultivation. " Just as Tianyu was about to fly away, County Lord Linxiang's thunderous voice resounded in Tianyu's ears.

"As expected, the one who didn't want to come still appeared." Tianyu muttered to himself. All of this was within his expectations. Ever since he agreed to invite Kwoo Tianji to the Hangu Plain, all of this was unavoidable.

"Senior, how could I dare to disobey your kind invitation? It just so happens that I have some questions regarding the sword technique that I would like to talk to you about. I wonder if senior will agree to it." Tianyu turned around and cupped his fists. At the same time, Kwoo Tianji, County Lord Jiu'er, and the group of people from Yongchang Mansion followed County Lord Linxiang and appeared in front of Tianyu.

"We do have a lot of people here." County Lord Linxiang looked at Tianyu and smiled. Tianyu's reply surprised him. He was calm and collected as if he was used to it.

In fact, Tianyu also knew that he could not shirk from it. Instead of shirking, he might as well agree. After all, the opponent was a Martial Saint Level, and his identity in Wuning Mansion was just an empty title. Tianyu didn't dare to be arrogant in front of a Martial Saint Level.

"But why does this young man look so unfamiliar?" County Lord Linxiang said. "Although the Wuning Mansion of Yun Hai County is far away from our Linxiang County, I still know some of the disciples of the major powers in the Wuning Mansion."

"I'm afraid that a young man who cultivates four elements at the same time can be considered a top genius in the Wuning Mansion. Why do I always feel that he looks unfamiliar?" County Lord Linxiang voiced out his confusion.

After all, the Wuning Mansion was the holy land of Human Clan, which was equivalent to the capital of a mortal country. The disciples of those geniuses were basically famous people. This kind of celebrity was basically known by the world. Of course, County Lord Linxiang also knew a thing or two about it. However, when he looked at Tianyu, there was no such person in his memory.

"Junior's sect is located in a corner of the Wuning Mansion, so I'm not considered a part of the Wuning Mansion. Junior seldom comes into contact with the Wuning Mansion, so I have been cultivating in seclusion outside of the Wuning Mansion. It's only natural that senior knows very little about me." Tianyu cupped his fists and replied.

"So that's how it is!" County Lord Linxiang pondered for a moment and said. "I have befriended a few elders of a rank 9 sect in Wuning Mansion. May I know your name? Let's see if I know. " County Lord Linxiang asked. He was very curious about where Tianyu was. He was afraid that there were very few people in the entire continent who had the same cultivation of four elements. Adding the fact that he was already a Martial Emperor Level at the age of eighteen, such a talent was definitely a monstrous existence in the continent. Therefore, he was very curious as to what kind of sect would be able to produce such a genius.

"This..." Tianyu paused.

"Senior, please forgive me. It's not convenient for this junior to know which sect this junior belongs to." Tianyu thought for a moment and said.

"Not convenient?" County Lord Linxiang was surprised.

"This junior is out on a mission for the sect. I'm going to the front gate of the sect. Elder Zeng San had expressed the importance of this mission. Before returning to the sect, you are not allowed to tell anyone about the sect's matters, so it is not convenient for junior to know. Senior, please forgive me. " Tianyu explained.

Actually, Tianyu was cursing. How could it be inconvenient for him? I don't know. I'm not from the Wuning Mansion to begin with, and I've never been there before. How would I know which powers? I only know about the Holy Safety Academy. I can't possibly say that I am a member of the Holy Safety Academy!

That was too fake. After all, he had four types of cultivation in the same element. If he was placed in the Saint Peace City, he would definitely be a genius whose name would resound throughout the world. Therefore, they basically knew about it.

"So that's how it is! Interesting." County Lord Linxiang looked at Tianyu's eyes like a torch, as if he could see through him. At this time, Tianyu stood there neither servile nor overbearing, not moving at all.

"Fine!" County Lord Linxiang waved his hand after a moment and said.

"You are a guest from afar. Since young man wants to return to Wu Ning, you need to pass by the Yongchang Mansion that I am in charge of. Why don't you go to my place and rest for a while to show your hospitality?"

"It just so happens that I am good at swords in my life. Young man, if you want to learn, you can talk to me about what you have learned." County Lord Linxiang said.

"Then I'll have to thank senior for his kindness. This junior will continue to chat with you." Tianyu said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.

Immediately, the group flew towards Yongchang Mansion with great speed under County Lord Linxiang's powerful energy.
