Chapter 301

Originally, they didn't quite believe it either; after all, they knew Yan Yuexin wasn't easy to mess with, but there is no smoke without fire; these pursuers who were interested in Yan Yuexin and interested in becoming the Yan family's son-in-law ultimately came to the scene.

"Damn! It's actually true! I haven't even walked this close to Yan Yuexin."

"Could it be, this is really the person Yan Yuexin has taken a fancy to? Why do I have no impression of this person?"

"If the two are really in that kind of relationship, then this is troublesome." Among these pursuers, many people's eyes flickered.

They pursued Yan Yuexin, firstly for the other party's beauty, but more importantly, they coveted the Yan family behind the other party.

If they could have the good luck to become the Yan family's son-in-law, that would be much better than clinging to a rich woman or something.

Not to mention the second half of their lives, even the next few lifetimes would be worry-free.

But now, this thought was very likely to fall through, which made the mentality of these pursuers become anxious, and they were even prepared to start inquiring about information regarding Lu Li...

"I advise you not to have any crooked thoughts; that person is not someone you can provoke."

"Don't say you, even we are not his opponent." However, as Palace students who had participated in the Four Great Academies Exchange Tournament and knew Lu Li's strength, they directly poured a bucket of cold water on these pursuers.

It wasn't that they wanted to help these people, but no matter what, these people were students of the Palace; if they were beaten up by Lu Li from the Heavenly Mansion on their own turf, they would lose a lot of face.

If that were really the case, it would be better for them to beat these people up themselves; at least it would count as an internal problem of the Palace.

However, these people were indeed quite curious about the relationship between Lu Li and Yan Yuexin; after all, everyone has curiosity.

"What?" However, these pursuers didn't know this point; they only knew that these perverts in their eyes actually admitted themselves that they were not Lu Li's opponents, and they were all scared.

Especially hearing the warnings in the tone of these perverts, it made them suppress the thought of making a move against Lu Li.

They couldn't even beat these perverts, so facing Lu Li, whom even these perverts couldn't contend with, wouldn't that be no different from delivering food?

Thinking of this, these pursuers couldn't help but become puzzled.

In the Magic Card civilization, the strong are respected; even if they were unhappy with the relationship between Lu Li and Yan Yuexin, and even if they wanted to make a move against Lu Li, they had to be on equal footing in terms of strength.

If their strength was exceeded too much by the other party, going up would only be asking for humiliation.

Moreover, they were only in the position of pursuing Yan Yuexin; Yan Yuexin had never responded to them positively; to put it bluntly, these people were wishful thinking.

But a more important point was that Yan Yuexin's identity was very special, so special that they didn't dare to treat her the way they treated other ordinary Magic Card Masters.

Otherwise, without the Yan family making a move, the families behind these people would directly sacrifice them to the heavens.

Either they are sacrificed, or the whole family is sacrificed; how to choose was already very clear.

567. Outside the Ancient Kingdom

The huge Cold Cloud Sparrow flapped its wings and soared into the sky; on the massive Magic Card spirit, several figures were looming, and the strong wind blew in front of everyone, then under the control of invisible energy, dispersed to both sides, without causing any impact on these figures.

Seemingly having received an order, the Cold Cloud Sparrow let out a cry, its flight speed suddenly accelerated, carrying the few Magic Card Masters on its back, flying toward the direction of the Holy See, and disappeared in an instant.

The Holy See is located in the southwest of the Magic Card Continent, standing opposite the Ancient Kingdom, with a vast distance separating the two great nations.

The distance between the two great empires is such that even if ordinary people spent their whole lives, they would have difficulty completing half the journey.

Even for Magic Card Masters, those with poor strength have difficulty traveling between the two great empires.

The distance between the two great empires is one problem, but a more important point is that there is not only the three great empires in the Magic Card civilization, but also many other countries.

And on the path that must be taken to travel between the Ancient Kingdom and the Holy See, there are many countries mixed in between.

These countries mixed between the two great empires play a certain buffering role. But at the same time, wanting to travel back and forth between the Holy See and the Ancient Kingdom through these countries requires paying a lot of fees, and these fees are not something ordinary people can afford.

The benefit is that this belongs to the official channel, so safety is greatly guaranteed.

If one doesn't take the official channel, one either has confidence in their luck, or confidence in their strength.

The Magic Card Continent is generally in a stable state, but under this stability, there are still many undercurrents.

For resources, many Magic Card Masters wander in the gray areas.

Of course, they only dare to act domineeringly outside the boundary lines of various countries; if they dared to make a move within these countries, they wouldn't have their lives to leave.

Especially the national boundary lines of the two great empires, the Ancient Kingdom and the Holy See, there are not many Magic Card Masters who dare to make a move.

Magic Card Masters who dare to make a move on the national boundary lines of the two great empires, I'm afraid the grass on their graves by the next year would be several feet high.

Therefore, the targets of these Magic Card Masters wandering in the gray areas are more the countries mixed between the two great empires.

After all, compared to the Ancient Kingdom and the Holy See, the strength of these countries is a bit far behind; just the fact that the two great empires possess Supreme-level existences makes the gap indelible.

In the Magic Card civilization of the current era, people only know of three Supremes.

Even if one excludes the out-of-spec combat power of the Supreme, the strength of these small countries is not even close to the two great empires.

Because the strongest in these small countries are basically at the Sovereign level, without even an Immortal, let alone the even more terrifying Undying Realm.

That is to say, someone like Cang Fenghua, who is merely a City Lord of a satellite city under the twelve capital cities of the Ancient Kingdom, holds the power of life and death in these small countries.

However, even though there is the temptation of becoming a hegemon of one side, Sovereign Realm experts like those of the Ancient Kingdom or the Holy See disdain going to these small countries to be a hegemon, and instead choose to remain in the Ancient Kingdom or the Holy See, and this ultimately comes down to the problem of resources.

Although the competition within the three great empires is fierce, after reaching the Sovereign Realm, they have basically established their own forces.

Perhaps compared to a ruler of a country, it is still a bit worse, but it is more comfortable, and the three great empires can provide sufficient resources to supply the space for their strength to improve further.

Not to mention anything else, even if these Sovereigns or even Immortals lie flat, the resources provided by the three great empires can satisfy their daily needs.

But if they leave the empire and build their own forces in the outside world, although they become people above others and become rulers of a country, the final direction will instead drag down the growth of these people.

Building a force is not an easy thing, and on this basis, there is also the difficulty of building this force into a country, which is even higher.

If one takes a wrong step, it's all for nothing, and might even make wedding clothes for others.

Unless it is a powerhouse of the Supreme Realm, crushing everything with absolute strength, then no matter who comes, it's useless.

Otherwise, even a big shot of the Undying Realm wanting to build a country-level force would have to spend a lot of time and energy.

With this time and energy, it's better to see how to break through and promote to Supreme?

Not to mention the Undying Realm, even Immortal Realm Magic Card Masters wouldn't have thoughts in this regard.

The strength of an Immortal is indeed powerful enough, and can even be considered the backbone of high-end combat, but it is merely the backbone.

No Immortal dares to guarantee that they can leave alive in every high-end battle.

It is leaving alive, not winning.

This is the confidence that only the Undying Realm has.

Therefore, with this time, it's better to put energy into improving one's own strength; no matter what, promoting to the Undying Realm, although the probability is slim, is still much higher than the probability of an Undying promoting to Supreme.

Moreover, the three great empires already have established forces; seeking a position within the three great empires, although one also has to handle some things daily, at least in terms of resources, one won't fall behind, and one doesn't need to make a move oneself.

If even resources cannot satisfy their needs, then running to the outside world to set up a force, or a country or something, is actually not much different from retirement.

Even, to obtain the resources they need, they still need to make a move themselves, which will waste a lot of time.

If things go wrong, being a lone wolf might be more profitable than this.

Unless one has clearly realized that one has no hope of promotion, otherwise, Magic Card Masters who have reached a certain level are not willing to leave the three great empires; after all, the three great empires are also suitable for retirement.

However, forming one's own force is not to say that there are only disadvantages and no advantages, but how to choose and trade off depends more on the Magic Card Master's own thoughts.

The huge Cold Cloud Sparrow quickly passed over the airspace of different small countries; sensing that a Magic Card spirit was actually flying so swaggeringly in their airspace, the faces of these small country rulers were very ugly.

One must know that the airspace of a country is related to the safety of this country; although these are only small countries, they are indeed countries.

As a ruler of a country, it is obviously impossible to allow Magic Card Masters and Magic Card spirits that haven't gone through any notification to run rampant in their country's airspace.

Even, several rulers of the countries already wanted to make a move to shoot down the other party.

568. This is impossible.

After all, it's just a Cold Cloud Sparrow; a six-star Magic Card spirit is not a threat to a Sovereign at all.

Not to mention a Sovereign, even an Emperor or a King, a six-star Magic Card doesn't constitute a threat.

But sensing that this Cold Cloud Sparrow was a Magic Card spirit from the Ancient Kingdom, and sensing the terrifying pressure faintly emanating from the Cold Cloud Sparrow, the faces of these small country rulers couldn't help but change slightly.

From this faint pressure, they felt a fear and trembling originating from instinct! This meant that the owner of the Cold Cloud Sparrow was stronger than them!

They were already Sovereigns; those stronger than them were only in the Immortal Realm!

Not to mention these small countries, the existence of the Immortal Realm, even if placed in the three great empires, were big shots capable of dominating one side.

To put it bluntly, the other party wanting to wipe them out was simply as easy as turning over a hand.

"I am Lan Xiatong, Palace Master of the Southern Region Palace; this time our Domain Lord is leading a team to the Holy See, borrowing the path to move forward, sorry for the disturbance." A stream of information poured into the minds of these small country rulers; sensing this, the faces of these small country rulers couldn't help but change again.

And after learning that the owner of this information came from the Palace Master of the Palace, and that there was also the Southern Region Domain Lord on the Cold Cloud Sparrow, these small country rulers shrank their heads even more.

Those few Sovereigns who wanted to make a move against the Cold Cloud Sparrow had their eyes filled with all kinds of lingering fear, rejoicing that they hadn't made a move impulsively, otherwise this wave might be time to wash up and sleep.

Nonsense, those were big shots of the Immortal and Undying Realms, and even more so existences dominating a region of the Ancient Kingdom; not to mention Yan Qian, even Lan Xiatong alone could wipe them out.

The Four Great Academies are the four top academies of the Ancient Kingdom; being able to become the Palace Master of these academies, no one is a pushover.

Not to mention, behind the two of them was the behemoth that is the Ancient Kingdom; to put it bluntly, whether these small countries could continue to exist wasn't just a matter of the three great empires nodding?

Lan Xiatong being able to greet them could already be considered giving enough face.
