Chapter 76: Brother, Why Did You Go Bald This Early in Life?

“T’m sorry, Your Majesty. I didn’t control my strength properly just now. I
thought that the top experts of your Xi Liang Dynasty were strong, but I didn’t
know he couldn’t even withstand a third of my strength. He’s not dead, though.
He should be able to live for a few more years with some rare pills!” Li Yu
casually threw Perfected Qingfeng to the ground and said with a smile.
His slightly mocking words were like thunder striking Ji Tianchang’s heart
Ji Tianchang’s gaze flickered as his expression darkened. Although he seemed
calm, tempestuous waves were already raging in his heart.
He really did not expect that the Great Xia Dynasty would have a terrifying
expert like Li Yu.
To be precise, that was a monster!
The five Soul Formation Stage experts in their palace had used array
formations to trap him, but it was pointless against him
Moreover, Perfected Qingfeng was the top expert of the Xi Liang Dynasty, yet he was beaten into a cripple by him with only a third of his strength. Is this kid even human?
“What are you here for?” Ji Tianchang asked with a stern expression.
“Nothing much. I’m just here to tell you that Ji Qinglan is safe. And as friendly countries, I think we should talk about the peace and sustainable development of the two countries!” Li Yu smiled.
After about an hour, the atmosphere in the hall seemed particularly harmonious, and laughter continued…
“Hahaha, Your Majesty is indeed the ruler of a country. I admire your breadth of mind and boldness. I shall thank Your Majesty on behalf of countless citizens of the Great Xia!
“Aiya, I had a pleasant chat with Your Majesty today. If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely come and enjoy a drink with Your Majesty!
“Oh yes, Your Majesty, if your country still has princes and princesses interested, you can introduce them to our Qingyun Sect to prevent Ji Qinglan from getting too lonely.
“With that said, our Qingyun Sect has high requirements for accepting disciples. In this case, they must be on the Heavenly Dao Rankings of the Xi Liang Dynasty! Hahaha, no problem, right?” “Hoho, of course. Allow me to speak with the princes and see if anyone is willing to enter your sect. Also, don’t worry, Cultivator Li, I will definitely take this matter to heart!” Ji Tianchang forced a smile and replied.
“Right, in that case, I’ll await your good news. It’s getting late, so I won’t disturb you any longer. If I have the time in the future, I’ll revisit and pay my respects to Your Majesty!” Li Yu stood up and said.
“Alright, please have a safe journey, Cultivator Li!” Ji Tianchang was all smiling. He could not wait to send this pestilence away.
“Farewell!” Li Yu cupped his hands, and then he walked out of the hall before his figure flashed and vanished on the spot.
Seeing Li Yu leave, Ji Tianchang’s expression instantly darkened, his expression so ugly it was as if he wanted to kill. He only had a word to summarize Li Yu now!
Demon!
Robber!
Bandit!
Although Ji Tianchang was furious and reluctant, he was helpless to do anything.
In this world where the strong reigned supreme, strength sometimes had the biggest say.
This was especially true for someone as ridiculously powerful as Li Yu. Ji Tianchang could only accept his defeat after provoking such a person.
“This damned brat. As if abducting one of my sons isn’t enough. How dare he have designs on other princes and princesses? He’s too greedy!”
Ji Tianchang berated in his heart.
On second thought, he felt that Li Yu’s words made sense.
Ji Qinglan was the only person from Xi Liang in the entire Qingyun Sect. He was likely lonely and did not even have anyone to talk to.
Although Ji Qinglan would not be bullied with his strength, he still seemed a little lonely.
But who should Ji Tianchang send? He was afraid that no one among the princes was willing. Furthermore, the Qingyun Sect needed someone on the Heavenly Dao Rankings. Therefore, after some thought, Ji Tianchang suddenly thought of a person. “That’s right, I can get Wanjie to accompany Qinglan at the Qingyun Sect!”
Although Ji Wanjie and Ji Qinglan had different mothers, they had a close relationship since they were young.
Ji Qinglan had also secretly taken care of Ji Wanjie all these years. Otherwise, he would have long been assassinated in the Cold Palace.
It was a pity that the Heavenly Dao Rankings had let the entire world know that Ji Wanjie possessed the Demonic Blood Body.
He had already become a thorn in the hearts of many orthodox sects and the imperial court of the Xi Liang Dynasty.
Now, he had no choice but to consider bestowing this child to death under
pressure.
In truth, he could not bear to kill Ji Wanjie.
Yet, he had to give the various sects, large family clans, and even the world an explanation as he was the emperor.
If Ji Wanjie was sent to the Qingyun Sect, it would save his life while settling the royal court and the citizens.
It was simply killing two birds with one stone! At the thought of this, Ji Tianchang immediately called Yu Feng over. “Yu Feng, send the Ninth Prince to the Qingyun Sect, but don’t tell him about this. Just say that I want you to send him to a safe place. You may tell him after he reaches the Qingyun Sect. Oh yes, go with Perfected Gu Lan. You must protect Wan Jie and keep your whereabouts hidden lest someone attacks him on the way!”
Ji Tianchang was well aware that some people in the Xi Liang Dynasty hoped for Ji Wanjie’s death, so to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to attack, he had to send someone to protect him.
If Ji Wanjie died, he would not be able to find a more suitable candidate to send to accompany Ji Qinglan. Perfected Gulan was also a Soul Formation Stage cultivator, so he should be well protected
After leaving the Xi Liang Imperial Palace, Li Yu rode the purple lightning flood dragon back in a good mood.
With the sponsorship from the Xi Liang Dynasty, his sect’s wealth would double again.
He did not let the flood dragon fly too fast as he lay on the dragon’s head, admiring the stars and the Heavenly Dao Rankings of the Xi Liang Dynasty. When he first arrived in the country, he had a rough look at the three rankings.
Ji Qinglan’s name was no longer on it.
There were three other people with the surname Ji on the rankings. Ji Tianchang ranked second on the Divine Weapon Rankings.
Ji Qingxue ranked 18th on the Hidden Dragon Rankings.
Ji Wanjie ranked third on the 3000 Physiques Rankings.
Demonic Blood Body!
Li Yu noticed Ji Wanjie’s special physique.
“If Ji Tianchang really wished to choose someone from his children to send to my Qingyun Sect, it’s surely Ji Wanjie!” Li Yu thought to himself. He was well aware that the name of Ji Wanjie’s physique was clearly not tolerated by the orthodox path.
Having such a physique as a descendant of the royal family was absolutely unacceptable to most. Therefore, Ji Tianchang would definitely choose to send this hot potato away.
If that was the case, it was to Li Yu’s liking.
Compared to Ji Qingxue, Ji Wanjie clearly had more potential. This body was definitely not simple to rank third on the Xi Liang Physique Ranking
He did not care about the nature of the Demonic Blood Body. The line between righteous and demonic was drawn by humans. There were also wicked people in orthodox sects, and demons were not necessarily heinous.
Furthermore, it was only the name of a physique.
After flying for a while, his stomach suddenly growled. He was a little hungry.
“Little Purple, help me hunt a spirit beast!” Li Yu patted the purple lightning flood dragon’s head.
If there was one good thing about this world, it would be that he could find a mountain anywhere and hunt delicious prey once he got hungry.
The purple lightning flood dragon gave a roar before diving down.
Before long, in a mountain range in the Xi Liang Dynasty, Li Yu finished processing the dragon-horned spirit sheep he had hunted.
Then, he placed it on the fire and began barbecuing his dinner.
As the saying goes, anything could be solved with a barbecue. Li Yu firmly believed that barbecue was the most delicious cooking method in this world.
The mutton was sizzling in the charcoal fire, and the fragrance assaulted the
nose.
Li Yu sprinkled some spices, immediately making the fragrance even more tempting
Suddenly, the purple lightning flood dragon resting in the distant valley looked up and roared. Soon after, a gigantic sword beam slashed down from the night sky. At the same time, a figure plunged down the night sky as if a disaster had occurred. It went straight toward the fire in front of Li Yu.
Li Yu was quick to react. He grabbed the mutton and hid to the side while the figure crashed into the fire pit with a bang.
The fire pit was a mess.
With the help of the glow of the flames, Li Yu could see that it was a shiny flying object. Oh, it’s a person.
It was a young man with no hair on his head.
His scalp was so bright that it could become a mirror. Under the light of the fire, he instantly became the brightest boy in the night. The moment he saw this man, Li Yu only had one question in mind. Brother, why are you bald when you’re this young?
At this moment, the system interface popped up in front of Li Yu again…
