Chapter 932: I’m Counting on You!

Three days later, Chu Liuyue picked her accompaniments, and they left from Ping Liang Square.

This time, there were a total of ten people following her. Five of them were young talents, who were respectively Jian Fengchi, Yuwen Jinghong, Mu Hongyu, Qiang Wanzhou, and Tian Ji Residence’s Wu Ming.

The other five were top warriors in Xi Ling: Elder Xia Yi, Sheng Yan Harem’s Elder Xiao Ran, Qin Yi, and two royal family elders—Chen Ke and Su Jin. Of course, Qin Yi had already recovered his original name: Cen Yi.

“Commander Meng, I’ll leave it to you to guard Xi Ling after I leave,” said Chu Liuyue to Meng Jingzhi solemnly.

Meng Jingzhi cupped his fists. “Don’t worry, Your Majesty!”

He swore to be loyal to the Tianling Dynasty and would naturally do his best to enforce safety in the area.

Chu Liuyue nodded and felt more at ease. She trusted Meng Jingzhi’s character.

Ever since the major cleansing, many positions in Xi Ling City were left empty. For example, the Black Guards lost their Lieutenant Mu Qinghe and had no leader.

Many other areas were also lacking in one way or another.

Among the people she was bringing to the Beiming Dynasty this time included Elder Chen Ke and the rest, so it undoubtedly would cause Xi Ling’s defenses to be lowered. At this time, Meng Jingzhi was the best choice to stabilize the situation.

Someone that could suppress Xi Jiang for many years wouldn’t have a problem dealing with these matters. The key point was that he was indeed loyal to the Tianling Dynasty.

“Yue’er, don’t worry. I’m here, and I’ll definitely help you take care of this place,” said Shangguan You calmly.

Chu Liuyue nodded. Even though Father has already become the supreme emperor, he held the throne for many years and was more proficient than me at handling these things. I really have nothing to worry about.

“Father, please take care of yourself. I’ll be leaving now.” Then, Chu Liuyue nodded to the people at the side.

The transportation formation gradually spun.

Shangguan You took a step forward. “Yue’er, be careful! I’ll wait for you to come back safely!”

Chu Liuyue nodded at Shangguan You with strength.

An intense light flashed across, and the group’s figures instantly disappeared from the spot.

Shangguan You looked at the empty square, his expression stern. I hope everything goes smoothly for this trip!

…

After entering the transportation formation, the surroundings were pitch black. Elder Chen Ke took out a water pearl and illuminated the space.

“I wonder how long it’ll take for us to go on this trip…” muttered Mu Hongyu curiously.

“The journey will take about five days. We have to pass through four transportation formations in between,” explained Chu Liuyue.

Si!

“Isn’t it further than us going to Dahuang Swamp?”

Chu Liuyue smiled and nodded. “The Tianling Dynasty is originally very far from there. Besides, the Beiming Dynasty’s land is about twice that of the Tianling Dynasty’s. Even if we reach their area, we’ll spend quite some time before we get to Lin Zhou.”

“I see… In other words, this Beiming Dynasty is very powerful?” Mu Hongyu originally wasn’t from the Tianling Dynasty, and she didn’t even understand the Tianling Dynasty much, let alone the Beiming Dynasty.

She only knew some relevant information after she found out that she was going on the trip.

Before Chu Liuyue said anything, Jian Fengchi laughed lightly and lazily said, “They have an ancestor that entered the Apotheosis realm before them. Of course, they’ll think highly of themselves.”

Chu Liuyue touched her brows and smiled. “This is a fact. Out of all the surrounding dynasties, there aren’t many who have warriors that entered the Apotheosis realm. The Beiming Dynasty is considered one of the top few elites, and they’re very strong. Nobody can deny this. This time, I wonder how many people will want to join in on the fun of Ancient Phoenix Mountain’s eruption.”

It was really surprising for the Tianling Dynasty to be invited over. Not to mention the Beiming Dynasty, even the other three dynasties that were invited over weren’t weak on their own.

If it were in the past, they might be able to compete with them. But the current Tianling Dynasty had just experienced a drastic change, and countless people were implicated. Their core was severely affected.

Hence, Tianling Dynasty was predicted to be the one at the bottom out of these five dynasties.

However, Chu Liuyue didn’t really care about this. She went on this trip mainly to save Chu Ning and also to see what Jun Jiuqing had up his sleeves!

“Your Majesty, you’re right. That Ancient Phoenix Mountain is the place where the Beiming Dynasty’s ancestor once broke through as a ninth-grade warrior. They now treat it as a holy mountain because it contains quite a few treasures, and the force within is immense. If one can enter it and roam around, it will definitely be very beneficial to their cultivation. This chance is rare. You must cherish it,” Elder Chen Ke said kindly to Jian Fengchi and the rest.

Even though they didn’t know why the Beiming Dynasty suddenly invited them, it was still a rare opportunity!

Chu Liuyue nodded, smiled, and teased, “Even when I was the Princess for 20 years, I didn’t meet with such a chance before.”

Mu Hongyu asked curiously, “Liu—Your Majesty, will you also be going with us this time?”

Chu Liuyue knocked on her forehead. “You can just directly call me by my previous name. Calling me ‘Your Majesty, Your Majesty’ sounds very awkward.”

Mu Hongyu’s eyes lit up.

Actually, she took quite some time to accept Chu Liuyue’s true identity. Previously, she was still upset for a few days because she thought that the two of them had different statuses and couldn’t have the same relationship as before.

Hearing her friend say this now, she instantly became elated. “T-then, I’ll call you that in private, okay?”

Liuyue says she doesn’t mind, but I have to think for her. She is the Tianling Dynasty’s emperor after all, so I naturally can’t do the same as before.

“Okay.” Chu Liuyue smiled and nodded. “As for whether I’ll be going with you… It’s not too late to decide when we get there!”

…

After the few of them used three transportation formations, they finally arrived at the Beiming Dynasty’s border.

A gigantic transparent curtain dropped down from the sky.

“Why do they still have a Heaven’s Canopy here?” muttered Mu Hongyu.

“That’s not Heaven’s Canopy. It’s the barrier formed by a Xuan formation,” said Elder Chen Ke lowly.

Mu Hongyu widened her almond-like eyes in shock. I’ve never seen such a huge barrier before!

“This is a suppression that only a ninth-grade Xuan formation can have… Besides, it’s not only one. A few formations were joined together to form this…” Elder Su Jin was the only female amongst the royal family elders. She looked like she was in her thirties and was very pretty, but her personality was a little cold. But at this point, even she couldn’t help but look surprised.

“The Beiming Dynasty… really lives up to its name!” Su Jin didn’t have much interest in anything else, but she was crazy about Xuan formations. When it came to a high-level Xuan formation, she would regularly be very invested in studying it and wouldn’t rest for many days.

Upon seeing such a formation suddenly, Su Jin couldn’t hide her excitement and hurriedly patted Chu Liuyue’s elbow. “Yue’er, it’s rare to see ninth-grade Xuan formations. You must look at it more now! When we get back, I’m counting on you to draw it out again for me to study!”
