I Don't Know Martial Art Chapter 468

Chapter 468 - The End of Time

"Haha, this is great, this is great! The emperor is the guardian G.o.d of our Wind Cloud Country, he is also my blood brother. If he is fine, I will be relieved!"

When Xiang Lingfeng heard from Xiang Yun that Xiang Tian had almost fully recovered, he immediately broke out into a hearty laughter, overjoyed. However, he then spoke with some regret.

"Sigh, it's a pity that my royal brother didn't come to Dragon City this time. When he went to the south to fight for the two kingdoms, I was outside the city to support him. Now that he has returned victorious, he hasn't returned home to receive the rewards. This really makes me feel a bit regretful."

Hearing this, Xiang Yun's heart turned slightly cold, but he said with a helpless look on his face.

"Ah, father, there's nothing I can do. The beast tide that broke out in the northwest region this time has affected the entire region. The entire population of the three counties in the northwest region has been affected."

"My father was attacked during the battle in the south. The Snow Wolf rode south, and the army in Silver City was insufficient. How could they defend against this surging beast tide?"

"Right now, Father is in charge of the situation in Silver City. He wants to restore the lives of the people in the three counties as soon as possible and stabilize the hearts of the people. He is truly powerless!"

As Xiang Yun finished speaking, he stared at Xiang Lingfeng, unwilling to let the slightest change in expression slip through his face.

When mentioning the Storm Country's beast wave, Xiang Lingfeng, who had been calm as usual, immediately revealed a look of regret as he shouted in anger.

"Sigh, I get really angry when this matter is mentioned!"

"Oh, why is Imperial Uncle angry?" A look of astonishment appeared on Xiang Yun's face.

"Hmph, it's all because of Han Fangbai, the head of the Military Department. This scoundrel, I told him to lead millions of troops to the northwest to send reinforcements, but he was actually afraid of death, and the beast tide was too violent, so the army could not do anything. He was stationed there without stopping, and he did not manage to rescue the three counties in time!"

When Xiang Lingfeng said these words, his eyes were spitting fire. He glared at Han Fang Bai as if he wanted nothing more than to devour his flesh and drink his blood.

As for Xiang Yun, when he saw his royal uncle's excited reaction, his gaze was strangely calm as he tried to persuade him.

"Royal Uncle, Minister Han was cautious in using his troops. He was worried that doing something bad would cause the great army to suffer. He has always been unintentional, and has shamed your trust, Royal Uncle."

Having said this, Xiang Lingfeng could not help but look at Xiang Yun in astonishment. However, he continued to speak in a huff.

"Humph! Even so, seeing how Han Fang Bai was disobeying the orders, I wanted his head. However, considering that he is a loyal servant of our Wind Cloud Country with three generations of Han family, I will remove him from the post of the head of the Military Department. In the future, we will see how he performs before deciding on his next course of action."

"Of course, if royal brother is not satisfied with this decision, we will directly hand Han Fang Bai over to him for punishment, regardless of life or death!"

The Han family was a third generation elder with nearly two hundred years of history in the Dragon City. They could be said to be one of the wealthy families of the Wind Cloud Nation, with many roots and connections.

Even the Tu Family, which was currently flouris.h.i.+ng, did not dare to rashly provoke such an existence. Han Fang Bai was the dignified head of the Military Department, a first rank official of the nation.

From this, it could be seen just how high Xiang Tian's position in Xiang Lingfeng's heart was. Even though everyone present was an imperial relative, there was still a difference between them. The difference in status could be seen with a single glance.

When Xiang Yun heard this, he naturally revealed a grateful expression and once again expressed his thanks and grat.i.tude. He also said that he would definitely convey Royal Uncle's meaning, but in the instant he lowered his head, his lips curled up in a mocking smile, his eyes full of ridicule!

It had to be said that Xiang Tian's stratagem of tormenting others was sung quite brilliantly. In front of everyone, he showed his forceful att.i.tude and his defense of the Northwest.

If this had been the past, Xiang Yun would probably really have been deeply grateful and smug. However, now, he was just watching coldly from the sidelines, his heart fully aware of the situation, but his expression did not change at all.

Under this' harmonious' atmosphere, the banquet gradually came to an end. The singing and dancing in the Mu De Hall were even, the cigarettes rising and falling in spirals. Xiang Lingfeng, at this moment, was patting Xiang Yun on the shoulder as he asked.

"Yun'er, I heard that you've come to Dragon City this time to prepare for the Grand Examination? Are you confident you can get a placing?"

Xiang Yun's body stiffened slightly, before a bitter smile appeared on his face, "Ai, I was also forced by royal father to partic.i.p.ate."

"The people of the Grand Examination are just here for an interlude and to watch the liveliness. How can they be confident?"

"What's more, it's not like you don't know how powerful I am. How would I dare to compete with these heaven's pride experts?"

"Oh!"

Xiang Lingfeng's hand was still on Xiang Yun's shoulder, smiling playfully as he spoke.

"Little brother Huang is the number one expert of our Wind Cloud Country. The son he taught can he compare to ordinary people? During the Grand Examination, you must help your father fight, and at the same time, let this Royal Uncle benefit from your efforts."

"Haha, Royal Uncle is too kind. When the time comes, your nephew will be able to hold on for a bit longer and it will be a good thing if you don't embarra.s.s Royal Uncle and Royal Father. As for winning honor for the Royal Family, don't you have brothers and sisters?"

Xiang Yun turned to look at Xiang Fei, Xiang Kun, Xiang s.h.i.+ru, and the rest.

And when they heard about the Grand Examination, the royal disciples who had been left in the cold were finally able to straighten their backs and display a proud att.i.tude!

In terms of status, as well as the Emperor's favor, it was likely that no one present could compare with Xiang Yun. However, in terms of cultivation and martial arts, as well as partic.i.p.ating in the Grand Examination and killing, Xiang Yun, a good-for-nothing who could shake the Empire of Feng Yun, would truly be forced to stand aside.

Everyone knew that back then in the Imperial City Square, Clear Sky Stone had found out that Xiang Yun did not have spiritual roots, and did not have the qualifications to practice Cloud Power.

However, in the Tianxuan Continent, Body Tempering was still inferior. At most, it could be comparable to a martial artist of the Yellow Cloud Realm. Wanting to play a higher level of the game was wishful thinking.

At this moment, Xiang Kun and Xiang Xi Ru had complacent expressions on their faces. The two of them had both reached the middle stage of the Yellow Cloud Realm. Although they could not be considered top experts in the younger generation of the imperial family, they were still young experts.

Xiang Kun said righteously, "Royal Father, it's rare for my younger cousin to be interested in cultivating as well as partic.i.p.ating in the Grand Examination. Since it's so lively today, why don't we spar with Cousin Xiang Yun and help everyone?"

Finished speaking, he turned to Xiang Yun with a malicious intent.

"Don't worry cousin. I will definitely hold back. If you point it out to the limit, how about I give you a little practice before the Grand Examination?" Even though my cultivation is not high, I think I can still give some pointers to my cousin. "

Xiang Kun looked kind on the outside, but he secretly thought in his heart, Fists and kicks have no eyes. When I'm careless, I won't be able to restrain myself. My younger cousin can't be blamed for acting this way.

Seeing the sinister expression on Xiang Kun's face that he could not suppress, Xiang Yun could not help but wave his hand as he smiled.

"I don't think there's a need for that. Cousin brother Xiang Kun, your cultivation is profound and your martial arts are superb. Wouldn't it be a waste if you fought with a 'fake' style that doesn't understand martial arts like mine? I'm ashamed of myself, so I won't embarra.s.s myself."

Xiang Kun had naturally antic.i.p.ated that Xiang Yun would refuse. His expression immediately turned grim as he spoke.

"I already said that this is only an exercise. If it's as it should be, wouldn't my cousin be willing to do such a thing? Could it be that he's looking down on me?"

Hearing this, Xiang Yun couldn't help but find it funny. Although this Kun's brain wasn't very bright, his guess had really hit the mark. He really did look down on his strength.

Xiang Yun's cultivation was now at the peak of the Yellow Cloud Realm, and in terms of combat ability and killing experience, Xiang Yun was even able to fight evenly with an ordinary pract.i.tioner at the peak of the Profound Cloud Realm.

Xiang Yun was currently looking at Xiang Kun as if he were standing at the peak of a mountain, taking in the entirety of his surroundings. Xiang Yun discovered that the cloud energy within Xiang Kun's body was rather solid, his spiritual will concentrated as well, but it was extremely thin.

Xiang Kun was a martial artist at the middle stage of the Yellow Cloud Realm. To be able to reach such a level, he could be considered to have a solid foundation. This was most likely related to the royal family's superior cultivation conditions; at the very least, an ordinary martial artist at the middle stage of the Yellow Cloud Realm would not be a match for Xiang Kun!

Even so, in Xiang Yun's eyes, Xiang Kun was still not worthy of his notice. To put it bluntly, Xiang Yun was certain of it.

If he was really allowed to fight Xiang Kun to the death, then his own punch would be able to 'hammer him to death'.

It would be a waste of time to exchange blows with an opponent who was not a match for one!

Currently, Li Xiang Yun was completely unwilling to take action. From the beginning to the end, he had been using the Turtle Rest Technique to conceal his aura.

At this moment, Xiang Lingfeng's large hand was still resting on his shoulder. A faintly discernible energy lingered around him, enveloping his body.

Xiang Yun's heart trembled, but at the same time, he could keenly feel that within Mu De Hall, there was another formless energy lurking around, causing him to feel like he was being watched.

Xiang Yun had already condensed his spiritual will now. His spiritual sense had always been keen and acute, moreover, he had experienced countless life and death experiences in the dangerous Silvermoon Forest. He was absolutely confident in this feeling.

This made him even more determined to not interfere. In front of his uncle, the less he revealed, the better!

Just as Xiang Yun was about to refuse again, just as Xiang Kun's suggestion, Xiang Fei, who had been silent throughout the banquet, suddenly opened her mouth!

"Third Brother, my cousin has been traveling for a long time, and I'm afraid he's a little tired, so it's inconvenient for him to take action. However, since the three of them are so interested, why don't we let Sixth Sister take the test and see how strong he is?"

"Ugh …"

When Xiang Kun, whose face had originally been filled with pride, heard that Xiang Fei wanted him to fight her, his expression immediately froze.

In terms of royal family's younger generation, the person Xiang Kun feared the most wasn't his elder brother Xiang Qian, but his sixth sister Xiang Fei.

Although Xiang Fei's cultivation could not compare to Xiang Qian's, as well as that of the First Prince who was cultivating far away in the Wind Cloud Academy, she was still able to suppress the other princes and princesses.

More importantly, Xiang Fei was rather battle-loving. She had challenged the many royal disciples in the Li Palace, and her attacks were fiercer than most men's.

Even Xiang Kun had suffered greatly at her hands, so he was extremely afraid of her. The moment he heard that Xiang Fei was going to fight with him, he hurriedly shook his head and said.

"I don't think that's necessary!"

"Didn't Third Brother say to help everyone up? It's a compet.i.tion anyways. Why don't we have a compet.i.tion with Sixth Sister? It's the same 'Reach a point', what do you say?"

A smile actually appeared on Xiang Fei's face as she looked at Xiang Kun. It was as if a snow lotus was blooming on a snowy mountain. In that instant, her charm was beyond beauties.

However, the moment Xiang Kun saw the smile on Xiang Fei's face, he felt a chill run down his spine. He thought back to the time when he had been beaten to the ground like a dead dog, and Xiang Fei had that kind of smile.

Xiang Kun immediately had an idea. He covered his forehead with his hand and frowned, a dizzy look on his face.

Cough cough, it's weird. Earlier, I felt my hand itch and wanted to spar, but I feel dizzy now. I'm afraid I drank too much.

Xiang Kun shamelessly chose to submit in an instant. Hearing that, Xiang Fei sneered as she returned to her seat, not saying a single word more.

After everyone had eaten their fill and watched the various performances performed at the palace, the bright moon hanging high in the night sky, the banquet finally came to an end. Xiang Lingfeng had personally escorted Xiang Yun out of the hall.

"Yun'er, it's been a long time since I've given my all like I did today. I really want to drink a few more cups with you!"

"Royal Uncle, your nephew has already arrived at Dragon City. As the saying goes, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

"Haha, right, there are still plenty of opportunities in the future. I grant you a pa.s.sage plate that allows you free access to the palace, both inside and outside. You don't need any proof, come accompany me in the palace when you have time!"

"Right, I've built a new estate for you in Dragon City. It's very close to the Imperial City, you can stay there from now on. It's convenient for you to travel to the Imperial Palace."

"Thank you, Uncle Huang!"

Under the envious gaze of the crowd, Xiang Yun received the gold medallion from the attendant. After thanking him, he was escorted out of the palace with everyone else!

As he watched Xiang Yun and the rest leave from afar, in front of Mu De Hall, Xiang Lingfeng, who was reluctant to part with his amiable face, was just like the autumn wind that blew late into the night.

Returning to the Mu De Hall, he dismissed everyone. Closing the main door of the hall, Xiang Lingfeng closed his eyes and rested for a moment. After opening his eyes, he actually said this to the air.

"Elder Xiao, come out."
