Chapter 223 - Conflicts within Prefecture
Prefecture.
"Feihong, Feiying, Feihu, you three are the most outstanding youths in my Anshan. The Anshan County will definitely not be at peace for a period of time. When I die of old age, I hope that one of you will be able to succeed the throne! "Anshan Taiping said calmly. As a duke, he could naturally see the war that was about to erupt. The seeds of hatred had already been planted in the Duelling Sword a.s.sembly. With a fuse, as long as one ignited it, it would fill the sky with raging flames.
During the last Sword Discourse a.s.sembly, Anshan Feihong was already a part of the A disciple at the peak of the Soaring Sky Realm, and his talent was already very good. Unfortunately, he lost at the hands of Zhong Jianxing. If Zhong Jianxing was still alive, he would probably be a air defence warrior already.An Shanfeiying and Anshan Flying Tiger were a lot older than Anshan Feihong. Although they looked to be only twenty-four or twenty-five, in reality, they were already in their thirties. The two of them were already Peak Imperial Sky Realm martial artist. As long as they could comprehend the source of power, they could step into the Origin Stage.
"Rest a.s.sured royal father, we will definitely not let you down!"
The current Anshan Feihong was evidently much more steady than before. The most dazzling person at the last Sword Discourse a.s.sembly was Ling Dao, followed by Ao Long, both of them being the Sky Cracking Sword Sect Disciple. As the son of a duke, his brilliance had been overshadowed."Well, of course. He is my son, after all. Heavy Sword Sect is already getting more and more outrageous, if not for your Great Luo Dynasty, I"m afraid you would have already attacked us! "
Just as Anshan Taiping was a.n.a.lyzing these things, footsteps came from outside. He frowned. If nothing had happened, the guards would not have come. Could it be that the Heavy Sword Sect had already made her move?"Greetings, Duke!"
"What is it?"
"Reporting to the Duke, there is a young man outside who claims to be Sky Cracking Sword Sect Disciple Ling Dao. He says he wants to pay his respects to the Duke!"
The guard knelt on the ground and briefly explained what had happened outside. If it was someone else, he would definitely be too lazy to spread the news. After all, a duke wasn"t someone that anyone could meet just because they wanted to. Within the Anshan County, how many people had not heard of Ling Dao"s name?
"Ling Dao? Let him in! No, Feihong, go and invite him over! "
Ling Dao, that was Crown Prince Xiao Yao. King Carefree had saved his life before, and Anshan Taiping would never forget that for the rest of his life. He was powerless against the destruction of the King Carefree Palace. If he could help Ling Dao, he would do his best to help.
Last time at the Sword Battlestage, when Zhong Taicang wanted to kill Ling Dao, he forcefully stopped him. Even if he had to fall out with Zhong Taicang, Anshan Taiping would not hesitate. Anshan Taiping knew how to repay kindness, and was naturally not someone like Celestial Sect"s Great Clan Elder Ye Hongxuan."Royal father, why did you ask Feihong to personally invite a mere Sky Cracking Sword Sect Disciple?"
On the side, Anshan Flying Tiger was unhappy. Sky-splitting Sword Sect was only a small tenth rank force, and was the weakest tenth rank force in the Anshan County. If the Sky-splitting Sword Sect"s Sect Master were to personally come, it would be fine if Anshan Feihong were to welcome him. She is just a disciple, what is the meaning of having Anshan Feihong welcome him?Ling Dao was already the vice sect master of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, but he naturally would not go around and talk about it. In his view, the ident.i.ty of a Vice Sect Master was nothing to be said, it was not much different from the Sky Cracking Sword Sect Disciple s. It was indeed a little outrageous to have the son of a duke go forward to welcome a mere Sky Cracking Sword Sect Disciple.
"Ling Dao, I have heard of him. He is the most dazzling young man in the Warrior Sword Conference. But no matter how strong he was, he was only a Rushing the Sky Stage Ranker. Feihong was already a air defence Ranker, his strength was sure to far surpa.s.s Ling Dao. Let Feihong go welcome Ling Dao, royal father. What do you think? "
An Shanfeiying also interjected. They had all heard of something as big as the Sword Battlestage. As the most dazzling young man at the Warrior Sword Conference, they naturally knew about Ling Dao. But even so, it was not worth Anshan Feihong to personally welcome him.
"My two brothers, don"t say anymore. I am willing to invite Ling Dao in! Only those who have seen Ling Dao"s technique before will know how terrifying his sword technique is! "The young lad fighting to win was nothing, but Anshan Feihong knew that even if he was using early stage of air defence, he did not have the confidence to defeat Ling Dao. His talent was not bad, and even the Middle Stage of Air Defense s were not his match.
However, Ling Dao"s sword technique had left a deep impression on him. It was the sharpest sword he had ever seen. Every single strike was precise without the slightest deviation. He would rather fight a huge battle with a Late stage Imperial Sky Realm martial artist than against Ling Dao.
"Feihong is right, don"t think that Ling Dao is young and his sword arts are weak, and don"t think that just because his cultivation is low, he is weak."
Anshan Taiping said while smiling. Anshan Flying Tiger and An Shanfeiying had no choice but to shut their mouths. However, in their hearts, they still looked down on Ling Dao. When Ling Dao came in, they wanted to see what kind of person Ling Dao really was.
Just as Anshan Flying Tiger and An Shanfeiying were thinking about how to deal with Ling Dao, Anshan Feihong had already rushed to the entrance of the Prefecture. Anshan Feihong admired two people the most in his life; one was his father, and the other was Ling Dao."Sorry to keep you waiting, Brother Ling." Long time no see, you look even more graceful than you did in the past! "
When he saw Ling Dao, Anshan Feihong smiled. He tried to see through Ling Dao"s realm, but it was a pity that Ling Dao was like a towering mountain, towering above the clouds and unreachable.Thinking about it, Anshan Feihong was right. While he, Anshan Feihong, was improving, Ling Dao was definitely improving too. Last time at the Sword Discourse a.s.sembly, Ling Dao was at the Heaven Breaking Middle Stage, and now, he was probably at the late stage of the Rushing the Sky Stage, or even the peak of the Rushing the Sky Stage.
Brother Feihong, you must be joking. It"s been a while since we last met.
With Ling Dao"s eyesight, he was naturally able to see through Anshan Feihong"s realm with a single glance. Ling Dao was not too surprised that he was able to raise his air defence. But how did he manage to tell Anshan Feihong"s realm in one go? This caused Anshan Feihong to be a little bewildered and doubtful, how did Ling Dao manage to tell what realm he was in?
"Please, Father is still waiting for you!"Without much thought, Anshan Feihong invited Ling Dao into the Prefecture. The guards were extremely envious, they were much older than Ling Dao, but unfortunately, compared to Ling Dao, they were too unsuccessful as human beings, and could only watch the door.
"Royal Father, I"ve invited little brother Ling Dao over!"
As Anshan Feihong"s voice fell, three pairs of eyes all looked towards Ling Dao. Anshan Taiping"s eyes were very warm. Facing Crown Prince Xiao Yao, he naturally could not put on any airs. If not for King Carefree, he would have died a long time ago.
"He is Ling Dao?"
"So young?"Anshan Flying Tiger and An Shanfeiying had only heard of Ling Dao"s name, but had never personally seen him. Seeing that Ling Dao was only a sixteen year old youngster, it was hard to not feel contempt for him. How powerful could a sixteen year old be?
But they were naturally extremely displeased that such a youth had to be personally welcomed by Anshan Feihong. Just how could a small Sky Cracking Sword Sect Disciple have such airs? And on what basis could they get such treatment?"We greet the king!" "Greetings, everyone!"
Ling Dao cupped his fists and said. Seeing that the Great Luo Dynasty"s emperor did not even kneel, he naturally could not kneel to the duke. His att.i.tude made Anshan Flying Tiger and An Shanfeiying even more unhappy. How could such an arrogant young man not teach him a lesson?
"Father, is this the Ling Dao you often speak of? Is he really stronger than Feihong? "
If one were to say that a sixteen year old youngster was capable of defeating Anshan Feihong, both Anshan Flying Tiger and An Shanfeiying would definitely not believe it. Although the current Anshan Feihong was only a Early Stage Warriors of the Air Defense Realm, he had still defeated Middle Stage of Air Defense Warriors before.
They could not see through Ling Dao"s realm, but they believed that he was probably only at the Rushing the Sky Stage. A sixteen year old Rushing the Sky Stage pract.i.tioner, already possessed extremely high talent. Even if Ling Dao told them personally that he was a air defence Ranker, they would probably not believe him and would even snort disdainfully at him."Some people become famous at a young age, but in the end, they still look down on others. It is merely a small Sky Cracking Sword Sect Disciple, what is there to be arrogant about? "
However, the words of the Anshan Flying Tiger and An Shanfeiying caused Ling Dao to feel somewhat baffled. He was sure that he had never seen the Anshan Flying Tiger and An Shanfeiying before, but why were these two people so angry at him?"Flying Eagle, Flying Tiger, shut up!" How can you say that? "
An Shanfeiying and Anshan Flying Tiger"s words made Anshan Taiping unhappy, and he started to berate them immediately. The two of them looked at Ling Dao angrily, and in the end, the Anshan Flying Tiger mustered up the courage to speak again."What did we say wrongly? He is just an insignificant Sky Cracking Sword Sect Disciple, why would we let Feihong go welcome him?" If he has the ability, let us see if he can defeat Feihong, or else we will have the same att.i.tude! "
Ling Dao"s eyes flashed with a hint of understanding. So that"s how it was. He never thought that Anshan Feihong"s mere welcome would cause Anshan Flying Tiger and An Shanfeiying to become like this. It seemed that if they wanted to discuss cooperation, they would have to be intimidated. Otherwise, they would not be convinced.
"Royal Father, I would like to exchange a few moves with Brother Ling to let you two brothers experience Brother Ling"s strength. How about it?"
Just as Anshan Taiping was about to berate Anshan Flying Tiger and An Shanfeiying furiously, Anshan Feihong hurriedly said that. Anshan Feihong naturally understood that his two brothers felt that it was unfair for him. If Anshan Taiping scolded them angrily, it would definitely shut their mouths, but it would definitely cause resentment to arise in their hearts.
Anshan Feihong naturally did not want his brothers and Ling Dao to get in trouble, so he naturally understood Anshan Flying Tiger and An Shanfeiying. As long as Ling Dao possessed sufficient strength, the two of them would definitely not continue to gossip. They are all straightforward people. If you are strong, I will submit to you, but if you are weak, I will not accept.
"I wonder what you think?"
Anshan Taiping also wanted to experience Ling Dao"s strength, but he still asked. If Ling Dao was not willing to help, then Anshan Taiping would naturally be unwilling to force Ling Dao.
"Since Brother Feihong has such an interest, I will naturally not shirk from it."Ling Dao nodded his head in agreement, allowing Anshan Flying Tiger and An Shanfeiying"s expressions to improve by a lot. Anshan Taiping was also interested, one must know that Anshan Feihong currently had the strength to defeat Middle Stage of Air Defense, but was Ling Dao able to defeat Anshan Feihong or not?
