If Li Xuanxiao joins the Ancient Martial Mystic Court, his enemies will be no problem at all!
Yan Qingshan felt a bit ashamed: "You two, I thought the same as you at the time. I also wondered how much trouble this kid could possibly cause. But this kid, he's really good at causing trouble. The factions he provokes are truly not ordinary..."
Yan Qingshan's words piqued the interest of Long Hui and Bai Junyi.
They wanted to hear exactly who it was that held such weight!
Even Yan Qingshan was so solemn about it.
Yan Qingshan raised a True Yuan Barrier, isolating the three of them from the outside to prevent their conversation from leaking.
After finishing this, he spoke quietly: "Li Xuanxiao, he..."
"...killed a Qilin!"
Bai Junyi's expression changed abruptly, and he stared straight at Yan Qingshan.
"Is Lord Yan telling the truth?"
Yan Qingshan said seriously: "Why would I deceive you two?"
This news was truly explosive! Bai Junyi turned his head to look at Long Hui.
After hearing that Li Xuanxiao had provoked the Qilin Clan, would Long Hui still invite Li Xuanxiao to join the Ancient Martial Mystic Court?
Long Hui raised an eyebrow, his expression bewildered.
A Qilin?
The Qilin Clan in the Central Continent had always been a mysterious and rare existence.
Although their individual strength was powerful, their Bloodline was scarce, so most of the time they just stayed in their own corner and rarely had contact with the outside world.
Even Martial Artists from the Upper Kingdom rarely saw a Qilin, let alone killed one.
How could such an existence descend to the small kingdoms below and be killed by Li Xuanxiao?
Compared to the shock others felt upon hearing that Li Xuanxiao had killed a Qilin, Long Hui was more surprised and puzzled.
As a Disciple of the Ancient Martial Mystic Court, his attitude towards the Qilin Clan was not as reverent as others.
The Ancient Martial Mystic Court was the representative of the Upper Kingdom's martial arts power; their overall strength was among the best in the entire Central Continent!
Therefore, Long Hui could view the Qilin Clan with a relatively normal attitude.
Long Hui's tone was calm and certain: "As long as he becomes a member of my Ancient Martial Mystic Court! When the time comes, if the Qilin Clan dares to seek revenge, my Ancient Martial Mystic Court will not be afraid of them!"
Domineering and confident words were spoken.
Yan Qingshan and Bai Junyi both showed looks of reverence; as expected of the Ancient Martial Mystic Court!
This kind of courage was not something an ordinary power could possess!
...
The Cloud Top Fairy Boat stayed in the Lawless Land for three days. After completing various resource trades and exchanges, it was finally time to embark on the journey back to the Upper Kingdom.
Li Xuanxiao, Chu Yin, and Wu Jiangming had a brief farewell with Yan Qingshan before stepping onto the Cloud Top Fairy Boat together.
As soon as he entered the immortal boat, Li Xuanxiao was shocked by the sight before him.
The space inside the immortal boat was much larger than he had imagined, with all kinds of facilities available, and every part appeared exquisite and sophisticated.
Wu Jiangming leaned in: "How is it? Not bad, right? This Cloud Top Fairy Boat is the joint crystallization of two top powers! The skilled craftsmen of Wenyuan Pavilion and the power Formations of my Taiyi Dao Sect."
Li Xuanxiao nodded. Just a long-distance transportation tool could reach such a level.
One could see how powerful the Upper Kingdom's strength was from this small glimpse!
Without waiting long, Li Xuanxiao heard a loud shout containing thick True Yuan spreading in all directions.
"The Cloud Top Fairy Boat is now departing for the return trip!"
After Bai Junyi let out a loud shout, surging with True Yuan, he immediately issued the command.
Next, the hatch of the Cloud Top Fairy Boat closed, and the Light Bridge connecting the port to the Lawless Land slowly dissipated.
The air around the immortal boat began to vibrate, as if some massive power was awakening.
Countless runes engraved on the boat's hull lit up like stars being ignited, emitting a brilliant light!
These runes were like living things; as the True Yuan flowed, a Xuan power radiated out, providing propulsion for the immortal boat.
One after another, Light Screens rose and closed above the Cloud Top Fairy Boat, isolating the inside of the boat from the outside.
Hum—
After a faint hum, the immortal boat finally moved!
As soon as it started, its speed soared!
In an instant, it shot up high and far away.
Looking down from the deck, the Lawless Land below looked like a black spot on the ground.
As the immortal boat continued to rise, the clouds gradually thinned, and finally, the immortal boat broke through the clouds and entered the clear sky!
Below the immortal boat, the sea of clouds churned like a boundless snowfield, magnificent and grand.
It was also like thousands of snowy waves stretching to the horizon.
Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the clouds, casting golden rays. The immortal boat sailed in this light, as if cruising on a golden tapestry.
The scenery before him was breathtaking, and Li Xuanxiao's emotions fluctuated along with it.
He racked his brains, trying to find a few words from his meager cultural knowledge to describe this scene.
However, after straining for a long time until his face turned red, he still couldn't squeeze out a single word.
The scenery before me is as beautiful as a painting, I wanted to recite a poem to be elegant.
But alas, I have no culture, so a 'holy crap' will have to suffice for the whole world.
Li Xuanxiao felt a bit ashamed; he couldn't write proper poetry, but doggerel came naturally to him.
Shaking his head, he turned and returned to his room.
It would take about half a month for the Cloud Top Fairy Boat to reach the Upper Kingdom.
During this time, he could choose to rest well.
Or... prepare in advance for what would happen after arriving in the Upper Kingdom!
"Ancient Martial Mystic Court..."
Li Xuanxiao changed direction and went to find Long Hui.
As the escorting Martial Artist of the Cloud Top Fairy Boat, Long Hui's room was together with Bai Junyi's.
Li Xuanxiao knocked and entered, only to find both Long Hui and Bai Junyi inside.
"Lord Bai, Lord Long Hui."
Li Xuanxiao cupped his hands in greeting.
"Little Friend Li, do you have something on your mind?"
Bai Junyi gave a light smile.
Li Xuanxiao didn't beat around the bush and immediately stated his desire to join the Ancient Martial Mystic Court.
He didn't even hide the fact that he had killed a Qilin.
Whether it was pedantic or foolish, the bottom line Li Xuanxiao set for himself was not to maliciously deceive or harm others.
Bai Junyi and Long Hui looked at each other, surprised by his candor.
They had thought Li Xuanxiao would hide it.
Li Xuanxiao's openness made them think more highly of him.
The look of appreciation in Long Hui's eyes grew stronger; he had already wanted Li Xuanxiao to join the Ancient Martial Mystic Court.
"The Entry Examination is held every two years, and the next one is in six months..."
Li Xuanxiao pondered.
Six months was too long; no one could say what would happen during that time.
The Qilin Clan could know his movements through the mark.
By then, they could just send any expert from their clan to wipe him out!
"Is there a faster way?"
Li Xuanxiao pursed his lips: "If it weren't for the matter with the Qilin Clan, I would naturally be willing to wait..."
Bai Junyi silently took a sip of tea. The timing of the Entry Examinations for the three major powers was a long-standing tradition.
Although considering Li Xuanxiao's current situation, every day of delay was indeed a day of danger.
But such established rules could not be changed for one person.
Long Hui also fell silent, his face showing difficulty.
Li Xuanxiao let out a soft breath; he had already come this far, how could he back down now.
"Lord Long Hui, I have a suggestion..."
