#1030 - I am the King of Xiao

The elite students, seeing Elder Yu appear and personally lead the youth towards the depths of the academy, all revealed envious expressions, their hearts filled with anger.

Judging from the current situation, that guy probably wouldn't pay the price for his actions.

Originally, they had been expecting a core student or a chief student to come out and suppress this fiend.

But now, with Elder Yu backing him, who would dare to take action? Even the chief student wouldn't dare!

"Who exactly is that guy, that he can make the academy's higher-ups treat him with such an attitude!"

Many people roared in their hearts, deeply jealous, their chests filled with anger, their eyes turning red.

… …

Jun Wuxie silently followed Elder Yu towards the main peak of the academy.

At the summit of the main peak was the Royal Academy's main hall, the place where the academy's leaders discussed matters.

Except for the higher-ups and the chief student, no one else was qualified to set foot there.

When Jun Wuxie arrived here, there were already more than ten people sitting in the main hall.

In the seat of honor was a dignified old man in his sixties. The others sat on both sides of the hall, some middle-aged and some elderly, each with an aura as deep as the abyss, unfathomable.

"Hahaha, this is the outstanding talent who cleared the Tower of Trials! He truly has an extraordinary bearing and is a handsome man."

The Dean stroked his beard and stood up, walking quickly from his seat to the center of the main hall, very enthusiastic.

"Greetings, Dean of the Royal Academy."

Seeing the other party put on a show of enthusiasm, Jun Wuxie did not lose his manners.

"I understand your situation, and I also know about your performance in the Elite Academy. You truly are a genius of amazing talent, and I am deeply amazed."

The Dean sized him up, nodding constantly, his face full of admiration.

"Dean, you flatter me. I wouldn't dare to call myself a genius of amazing talent. It's just that those elite students are too useless, having realms but no strength."

Jun Wuxie was very humble, but these words made the muscles on the faces of the Dean and the ten-odd elders twitch violently.

This kid was too hateful, saying this was like slapping them in the face.

"Wuxie, is it okay if I call you that?"

The Dean said with a smile, his expression gentle, even with a hint of kindness, making it easy for people to feel good and lower their guard.

"Of course, Dean is a senior, please feel free."

"Mm." The Dean nodded and said with a smile, "Wuxie, I wonder what your current realm is? Can you tell me?"

"I'm ashamed to say it, but this junior's realm is low. I only broke through to the early stage of the Lesser Celestial Realm of Saint King in the Tower of Trials."

Upon hearing this, the Dean and Elder Yu and others thought to themselves that he had indeed reached the Saint King Realm!

Being able to easily suppress hundreds of elite students in the Saint King Realm, although quite exaggerated, was not so difficult to understand.

They were saying that this child could not possibly be in the Saint Realm.

How could anyone in the Saint Realm achieve this level?

Unless they had stepped into the Mythical Domain!

The Myth of the Saint Realm, was that possible?

Even in those distant regions close to the Middle Realm, those outstanding talents cultivated by the legendary high-ranking forces, I'm afraid it would be difficult for them to step into the Mythical Domain in the Saint Realm.

This was Qingzhou. For the cultivation world of Canglan Ancient Star, it could only be considered a frontier area, where the world's spiritual energy was relatively thin, the grade of resources was low, and rare treasures were even rarer. The bloodline genes of all living beings were far inferior to those of people in other higher regions. How could a myth appear?

A legendary Saint was hard to find even in ten thousand years, such as Qin Yi of Qingyun, who was rare since ancient times, while this youth before them, a thousand-year legend, was perhaps only one in ten thousand ages!

It was a pity that this youth's temperament was too strong and unruly, difficult to tame.

The Emperor had discerning eyes and saw through this point, so he did not intend to cultivate him, fearing that after cultivation, he would not only fail to become an assistant but would instead threaten the stability of the country.

"Early stage of the Lesser Celestial Realm of Saint King, yet able to suppress hundreds of elite students. Such strength is truly unbelievable. You are the person with the highest growth talent I have ever seen!"

The Dean exclaimed in admiration, his eyes fiery, and said, "In this Great Qian Dynasty, the highest-level cultivation place is our Royal Academy, which gathers most of the Great Qian's high-level resources. I intend to take you as my personal disciple. I wonder what you think?"

"Thank you for the Dean's appreciation. I am flattered. However, I already have a master. If I want to become a disciple of the Dean, I need to return to Qingyun and discuss it carefully with my master and obtain his consent."

Jun Wuxie did not directly refuse, after all, this was the Royal Academy. Unless absolutely necessary, it was best not to break face directly.

He was very clear in his heart that the Dean's real purpose was not to cultivate him, but to obtain the secrets of the last few levels of the Tower of Trials from him.

The secrets of the last three levels of the Tower of Trials must not be revealed.

Master Fu Sheng, Mistress, Senior Shenlian, their divine sense imprints were all inside, and they had to be kept secret.

It was hard to say whether such beings had enemies or hostile forces back then. If their opponents were attracted, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Alas, you truly are a good young man who respects his teacher and values the Dao. I admire you even more. Facing such a huge temptation, you can still stick to your bottom line and think of your master in Qingyun. This is very rare, and I must support you on this point."

The Dean looked very approving and then said, "However, you still need to consider your own future. I believe that as your master, True Person Chengyuan of Qingyun would never do anything that would affect your future. He will definitely not stop you from doing this. Of course, you still need to obtain his consent. This is respect for True Person Chengyuan."

"How about this, Wuxie, you stay in the academy for now and temporarily follow me. I will personally write a letter to True Person Chengyuan, explaining the situation. You can cultivate here in peace and wait for True Person Chengyuan's response. If he agrees, you don't need to return to Qingyun. If he doesn't agree, it won't be too late for you to return to Qingyun."

The Dean's words and attitude were very good, and every sentence was for Jun Wuxie's sake.

If he hadn't heard the conversation between the Emperor and Elder Yu, he might have believed the Dean's words and thought that he really wanted to take him as a disciple.

"That's not good. As a personal disciple of Master Chengyuan, if I stay, what's the difference between that and acting first and reporting later? It would be a great disrespect to my master. I still have to go back and find an opportunity to explain this matter carefully to my master and strive for his consent."

The Dean was silent for a moment upon hearing this, revealing a thoughtful look, and then said with a smile, "You're right, that's really not good. We still have to obtain your master's consent in person."

Saying this, he looked at Elder Yu and said, "Elder Yu, you should quickly send a message to True Person Chengyuan of Qingyun, inviting him to be a guest at our academy. When the time comes, I will personally talk to him about Wuxie's matter."

"Dean, there's no need. I must return to the sect."

Jun Wuxie had an urge to slap him in the face for this kind of relentless behavior.

"Wuxie, not letting you return to Qingyun is for your safety. Now that Prince Ning's Mansion knows that you have come to the imperial city, they will definitely be suspicious and are very likely to attack you. For your safety, I must keep you in the academy. I hope you can understand my good intentions!"

"Safety or danger, life and death, that is my personal matter and should be decided by myself, so please Dean don't insist. Just now, I have already said it very clearly, I must return to Qingyun!"

Jun Wuxie's attitude became strong.

He was very clear that continuing to talk in circles with the higher-ups of the Royal Academy was meaningless.

"Wuxie, if you say that, then you really chill my heart. However, I won't be angry with you. For your safety, I will not let you leave."

Saying this, he said to Elder Yu, "Take him down and protect him well, lest he be in danger. Wuxie, you should also think about it carefully and you will always understand our good intentions."

"Yes, Dean."

Elder Yu stepped forward to grab Jun Wuxie's arm.

"You want to use force against me?"

Jun Wuxie was prepared and took a step back, looking at them playfully, and said, "If I want to leave, you can't stop me. If I don't want to leave, you have to kneel and beg me to leave, do you believe it or not?"

Saying this, he was undoubtedly making things clear and tearing apart the face in person.

At this time, the Dean and elders of the Royal Academy also stopped pretending, their faces turning cold.

"Your tone is not small. With your early stage of the Lesser Celestial Realm of Saint King, you still want to leave in front of us?" Elder Yu's eyes were indifferent, "You should know that we must keep you here. You can't leave even if you want to. You actually uttered such wild words, wanting us to kneel and beg you to leave?"

"Young man, I know what you are relying on in your heart." The Dean's attitude was no longer as amiable as before, his eyes flashing with cold light, and said, "Do you think that the Emperor needs Qingyun, so we don't dare to force you to stay?"

Saying this, the Dean smiled faintly, "Have you ever thought that since Qingyun cares so much about you, if we keep you as a hostage and use you as a threat, wouldn't they be even more attentive?"

"Is that so?" Jun Wuxie also smiled. He walked straight to the chair on the right and sat down, crossing his legs, and said, "Alright, then I'll stay. I won't leave!"

The Dean and Elder Yu and others all revealed surprised and suspicious expressions, not understanding what trick he was playing.

At the same time.

In the Imperial Palace, in the Imperial Study, a young man in purple clothes appeared without warning.

His sudden appearance caused the Emperor's pupils in the Imperial Study to contract violently.

A large number of guards were guarding the Imperial Study, and even flies could not fly in, and the door was closed.

But this young man was able to appear here silently.

Just as he had just sensed a slight fluctuation and had not had time to react, this young man appeared.

A cold light flashed in the Emperor's deep eyes. He looked coldly at the ordinary-looking young man in purple clothes in front of him and said, "Who are you? What a big胆子, daring to sneak into the Imperial Palace and appear before me!"

Inside the Imperial Study, Qingmu and the other two who had been summoned by the Emperor were even more shocked.

What kind of place was the Imperial Palace, and what kind of place was the Imperial Study?

Someone could actually come here quietly without the Emperor noticing in advance.

The Emperor was a powerhouse at the half-step Dominant Saint realm!

The purple-robed youth did not answer the Emperor, but looked at Qingmu and the other two, saying, "Real Person Qingmu, I trust you've been well. We parted ways in Flowing Cloud Forest a few months ago after you ambushed and killed the powerhouses of the three sects. I didn't expect to meet you again so soon. The Emperor and Prince Ning are both looking for me, this talisman master, which has unfortunately implicated you."

Qingmu and the others had lived for tens of thousands of years, and their reactions were naturally swift. They immediately recovered from their shock and said excitedly, ": "Thank you, benefactor, for your help at that time. Otherwise, the twenty foundation powerhouses of Azure Cloud would have been buried in Flowing Cloud Forest. Benefactor, how did you appear here?"

The purple-robed youth smiled faintly and was about to respond when the Emperor suddenly stood up and exclaimed, "You are… that young talisman master from Flowing Cloud Forest?"

"That's right, I am." The purple-robed youth spread his palm, and one talisman after another shot out from his palm, evolving into runes in the air, quickly forming an incomparably complex array diagram. He nodded slightly towards the Emperor and said, "I am Xiao Renwang, greetings to His Majesty the Emperor of Da Qian."

"Indeed a talisman master, such profound talisman arts!"

The Emperor's heart was filled with shock. Although he could see that this purple-robed youth, Xiao Renwang, did not have a very high realm in talisman arts, his cultivation in talisman arts was quite profound, and the talisman array he evolved was extremely complex.

This showed that the sect behind him must be a master of talisman arts, a reclusive talisman expert!

"Young Master Xiao, may I ask, what realm is your master at as a talisman master?"

The Emperor's heart was beating a little faster, and his heart was filled with anticipation.

The purple-robed youth shook his head and sighed, "To be ashamed, our Primordial Talisman Dao lineage was once extremely prosperous countless years ago, and produced supreme talisman masters. Later, after experiencing some special changes, it has long since declined to the present day. My master is currently only at the late stage of the fourth realm of Saint Talisman Master."

"What?"

The Emperor's expression changed drastically, and then he became uncontrollably excited.

Although he had not heard of the Primordial Talisman Dao, he thought it should be a relatively ancient talisman dao inheritance, which would definitely not be weaker than ordinary talisman daos.

A Saint Talisman Master in the late stage of the fourth realm, corresponding to the martial arts realm, would be at least equivalent to a Dominant Saint Minor Heavenly Position, or even a Middle Heavenly Position!

"Young Master Xiao, to be honest, I am now encountering difficulties and need the help of your master's sect. I wonder if Young Master Xiao can recommend your sect to me?"

The purple-robed youth was silent for a moment, and said, "I have heard about Da Qian's affairs. Your Majesty wants to pacify Prince Ning, right? My master only has me as a personal disciple, so I can say a few words. However, Your Majesty must promise that after the matter is completed, you will fully support us in establishing a talisman dao sect in Da Qian, help us find talisman dao geniuses, and provide resources for cultivating the talisman dao!"

Upon hearing this, the Emperor was overjoyed. If the other party had a request, then conditions could be exchanged. In this way, inviting that fourth realm Saint Talisman Master to take action would hardly be a problem.

He felt that the purple-robed youth's identity and words were highly credible.

There were many talisman masters in the world, but those who cultivated profound talisman daos at such a young age were definitely rare.

Judging from the talisman dao displayed by this purple-robed youth just now, it should not be fake.

However, he did not completely trust him, and immediately said, "I wonder if Young Master Xiao can show me more talisman daos?"

"Easy to say."

The purple-robed youth smiled and pointed in the void, one talisman after another flashing and imprinting in the void, evolving into one talisman array diagram after another.

His speed was extremely fast. In a short time, he continuously inscribed more than a dozen talisman arrays, each of which was very mysterious, causing the Emperor to be dumbfounded.

Qingmu and the others were also shocked.

They had already guessed that the purple-robed youth in front of them should be an incarnation of Wuxie disguised, using some special means to change his appearance so that people could not see his true appearance.

"Your Majesty, I wonder if you still doubt my identity as a talisman master?"

"Of course not!" The Emperor recovered from his shock and said, "I agree to Young Master Xiao's conditions. You can go back and tell your master that as long as you help me pacify Prince Ning, I will definitely reward you handsomely!"

"With my master's ability, what difficulty is there in pacifying Prince Ning? It's just that my master is currently in seclusion to comprehend the talisman dao and will not be able to come out until next year. During this period, I cannot disturb him."

"Hahaha, easy to say, a year is all it is, I will wait!" The Emperor was in a great mood. He did not expect things to go so smoothly, and he directly reached an agreement with the young talisman master Xiao Renwang.

He would not suspect that the other party would deceive him.

Because there was no need at all, and the other party had once opposed Prince Ning's mansion for helping Azure Cloud.

His sect wanted to develop the talisman dao and needed to use Da Qian's population base to find people with talisman dao talent, so they agreed to him. This could also be regarded as a cooperative method.

Each takes what he needs, and there is no conflict of interest between them before this, and a dignified fourth realm Saint Talisman Master would not let his disciple run over to deceive him.

"By the way, I hope His Majesty the Emperor will be kinder to Azure Cloud. My master once had an old friend who was helped by a senior of Azure Cloud tens of thousands of years ago, and this kindness must be repaid. Now that I have reached an agreement with His Majesty the Emperor face-to-face, then it has nothing to do with Azure Cloud. Let Senior Qingmu and the others return to the sect."

"Young Master Xiao is right, kindness must be repaid." The Emperor nodded, then looked at Qingmu and the others, and said, "This matter will no longer trouble you. You have been out for a long time, and you must be missing your sect. Go back now."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your great kindness!"

Qingmu and the other three hurriedly knelt down and retreated from the Imperial Study in unison.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, Azure Cloud still has a disciple who seems to have been forcibly kept in the Royal Academy by the power holders of the academy. I am ashamed of their behavior. If they do not respectfully send that person out of the Royal Academy within half a day, then our cooperation may not be so smooth!"

"What?" The Emperor was immediately shocked and angry, and said, "There is such a thing, the principals of the Royal Academy have really gone too far! Young Master Xiao, rest assured, I will issue an imperial decree now!"

"Your Majesty the Emperor, I don't want to see the people of the Royal Academy touch a single hair on his head, not even a corner of his clothes. The principals of the Royal Academy are too deceitful and must respectfully send him out. Please, Your Majesty, clearly inform them when drafting the decree!"

"Young Master Xiao, rest assured, if they fail to handle this matter properly and dare to be even a little bit careless, I will make them regret it!"

The Emperor quickly drafted an imperial decree, and with a wave of his sleeve, the imperial decree broke through the door of the Imperial Study and flew away.

"I'll be waiting in front of the Royal Academy." After the purple-robed youth finished speaking, he spread his palm, and a spiritual talisman imprint flew out, "This is my spiritual talisman imprint. If Your Majesty the Emperor has something to do, you can use this imprint to send me a talisman message."

"Young Master Xiao, walk slowly, I will not see you off." The Emperor put away the spiritual talisman imprint, watched the purple-robed youth disappear out of thin air, and the joy on his face gradually grew.

"Truly, when Heaven closes all doors, it opens a window. This great land will eventually fall into the hands of the person I designate, and it will be forever stable! Prince Ning, you are really my good son. You have painstakingly cultivated your own power, and even I have not noticed it. I must say, you really have good skills. But you should not have done this, so even if you are my son, I can only destroy you!"

The Emperor sat down, and the door of the Imperial Study closed automatically with a bang.

The wrinkles quickly appeared on his young face, and his full head of black hair turned white. He changed from a prime-of-life appearance to an extremely old one.

His youth was only forcibly disguised, not wanting Qingmu and the others to see his true state. Only his closest confidants knew his true appearance.
