Chapter 1042: The King Title That Takes Advantage of Others (Second Update, seeking votes)

After all, a King had come, and since Li Zhangsheng had a request for the Mu Clan, he naturally took the initiative to welcome them, bringing along a group of Stronger individuals from various factions.

Just as Li Zhangsheng had guessed, ever since the news of the pardon for the Huizhou Tian Clan spread, the situation across the entire Langya Kingdom changed in an instant; those factions that had certain ties with the Langya Kingdom Imperial Family were no longer restless and anxious, and one by one, they scrambled to visit and pledge their allegiance to Li Zhangsheng.

To stabilize the situation in the Langya Kingdom, Li Zhangsheng did not refuse, and he also took the opportunity to impose certain penalties on these factions, though not enough to cause them serious injury; depending on their wealth, he gave different punishments, such as handing over XX resource points, Spirit Roots, or treasures.

This truly allowed Li Zhangsheng to scrape up a haul, among which were several Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure grade treasures, as well as several resource points.

Among these few treasures, the only one useful to Li Zhangsheng's Demon Pets was a portion of Xun Wind Essence.

Li Zhangsheng had previously obtained Xun Wind Essence, but it had already been absorbed by Aixi; this Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure could enhance the power of Wind Element skills, possessed the effect of ignoring wind resistance, and could also allow one to comprehend Xun Wind Divine Thunder along the way.

Among Li Zhangsheng's Demon Pets, besides Aixi, Datou and the round one also met the absorption requirements; the little dragon, being a Temporary Spirit Pet, could be ignored.

Between the two choices, Li Zhangsheng naturally leaned toward Datou; after all, speed was Datou's strength, and only by strengthening one's strengths could one better exert its power; relatively speaking, it was not of much use to the round one.

【Spirit Beast Name】: Lesser Kunpeng (Growth Stage, Demi-God Beast, consumed Kui Water Essence, enhances Water Element skill power, weakens the speed of enemies hit by Water Element skills, comprehends Kui Water Divine Thunder. Consumed Xun Wind Essence, enhances Wind Element skill power, possesses the effect of ignoring wind resistance, comprehends Xun Wind Divine Thunder. Comprehends Mystery, significantly enhances skill power; Mystery Guard: exempts partial damage, mainly depending on the opponent's realm.)

【Spirit Beast Realm】: Demon King Rank 2

【Spirit Beast Race】: Perfect Sovereign

【Spirit Beast Quality】: Epic 《Guaranteed to break through to Demon King level, slightly increases the probability of breaking through to Demon Saint level》

【Spirit Beast Bloodline】: Kunpeng (Vigorous, formed from the fusion of Kun fish and Golden-Winged Great Peng bloodlines, can freely change between Kun fish and Peng bird forms)

【Spirit Beast Attribute】: Water + Wind

【Spirit Beast Status】: Healthy

【Spirit Beast Weakness】: None 《Purple Pattern Luo Heaven Fruit eliminated the attribute weakness》

After absorbing the Xun Wind Essence, the light point representing Datou's quality increased slightly, but there was still a long way to go before crossing to the next level.

Dong dong dong~

The Qiankun Immeasurable Bell emitted a melodious chime that resounded in all directions, accompanied by the simultaneous beating of bells and drums, using a ceremony for welcoming a King to welcome the arrivals from the Mu Clan.

It was also at this moment that the Three Dragons Rising Cloud Chariot flew toward this side.

Roar~ Roar~ Roar~

The three elderly dragons subconsciously let out a Dragon Roar, echoing with the bell chimes, while simultaneously demonstrating the foundation of the Lihuo Kingdom Mu Clan.

Within a few breaths, the Three Dragons Rising Cloud Chariot appeared above Yecheng.

Perhaps having smelled Li Zhangsheng's aura, the eyes of the three elderly dragons visibly shrank, and their gaze toward Li Zhangsheng could not help but be filled with reverence.

"It might be the Baxia Turtle Shell!"

Li Zhangsheng was somewhat puzzled in his heart, and he could only attribute it to the Baxia Turtle Shell; after all, Baxia was one of the Ancestral Dragon Nine Sons and held a lofty status within the Dragon Clan.

Hmm, if the Ancestral Dragon were compared to an Emperor, then Baxia would be a Prince.

On the Three Dragons Rising Cloud Chariot sat two Kings; besides Zuo Qiulin, there was also a King with white hair and a youthful face, looking quite like an immortal with a refined air.

Kings generally do not take the initiative to disguise themselves as old, so judging from the appearance of this Mu Clan King, his lifespan was already running low.

If they lost a King, the days of the Lihuo Kingdom Mu Clan would likely be very difficult.

"Your Majesty, I have not failed the mission!"

Zuo Qiulin hurriedly got off the chariot and respectfully came before Li Zhangsheng.

Even after becoming a King, Zuo Qiulin still maintained a humble posture in front of Li Zhangsheng.

Of course, he would maintain the demeanor of a King in front of others.

"Elder Zuo, you've worked hard!"

"Not hard, not hard!" Zuo Qiulin hurriedly shook his head, then began to introduce both sides.

The person who came from the Mu Clan was named Mu Dongqing, one of the two Supreme Clan Elders of the Mu Clan, with the King title 'Fu Wang' (King of Bestowal/Taking Advantage), a title that easily takes advantage of others.

The Mu Clan did not know Li Zhangsheng's intentions, but they still gave it enough importance, which could be seen from the fact that they sent Mu Dongqing.

"Your Majesty Quan Wang, seeing you today, it is truly better to meet than to hear of your reputation. By the way, you can just call me Dongqing."

Ever since he obtained the title of Fu Wang, Mu Dongqing had been very annoyed; the title of Fu Wang seemed to take advantage of others, but it was also very easy to offend people.

Facing Li Zhangsheng this time, Mu Dongqing naturally did not dare to be the least bit careless; if he accidentally offended this person, the Mu Clan would likely be finished.

"Then I will not decline; let us just call each other by our names. Please, come in!"

Li Zhangsheng took the opportunity to step down; since he had a request for them this time and was hosting a King, he did not refer to himself as 'this seat'.

Under Li Zhangsheng's signal, the honor guard immediately followed the pre-set routine, leading the way in front while performing melodious music.

Not long after, Li Zhangsheng brought Mu Dongqing to the Chongming Palace.

Zuo Qiulin did not stay here; he knew that Li Zhangsheng must have had a major matter for having him specifically go find the Mu Clan, so he casually found an excuse to leave.

Li Zhangsheng casually dismissed the Stronger individuals who had come to welcome them with him, and thus, only the two Kings remained in the main hall of the Chongming Palace.

The two first paid their respects to each other, then began to chat; Mu Dongqing mainly focused on Li Zhangsheng's battle achievements, while Li Zhangsheng focused on the glorious history of the Mu Clan.

After both sides became slightly familiar, Mu Dongqing finally asked: "Your Majesty Changsheng, I wonder what business you have for specifically seeking out our Mu Clan this time?"

"I heard that the Mu Clan's ancestral Demon Taming Art is called 'Three Constants Twenty-Eight Mansions'?"

Li Zhangsheng did not hide anything; ever since he learned of the current situation of the Lihuo Kingdom Mu Clan from Luo Yuanjun, his heart had been put at ease, which led to the move of inviting the Mu Clan to be guests in the Langya Kingdom.

The Mu Clan was still very strong; it was just a case of a lean camel being bigger than a horse, but the problem was that Li Zhangsheng could also be called a camel, and a camel in its prime at that.

Mu Dongqing was somewhat surprised; he had thought of many reasons for Li Zhangsheng to invite the Mu Clan, such as inviting the Mu Clan to move their entire clan to the Langya Kingdom, forming a profit alliance with the Mu Clan, or coveting some supreme treasure of the Mu Clan, but he never expected it to be the 'Three Constants Twenty-Eight Mansions'.

There was no helping it; although the 'Three Constants Twenty-Eight Mansions' was a Pseudo-Top-tier Demon Controlling Art, it ultimately had the word 'pseudo', meaning it did not meet the standards of a Top-tier Demon Taming Art in certain aspects, yet its power was comparable to a Top-tier Demon Taming Art, and the key was that it could only be cultivated to the Double-Character King stage before it could go no further.
