Chapter 38

Zhao Hongying originally thought Han Yu only had formidable Qi Refining cultivation; she never expected him to be the mysterious Body Cultivator who spread through Qingzhou some time ago.

Qi Refining and Body Refining are both excellent; what kind of monster is this!

Could it be true as the rumors say, that Uncle-Master Han is indeed a prodigy from Shangzhou?

"I finally know why the Princess praises her Senior Brother so much."

"I thought the strength he displayed was shocking enough, but I didn't expect it to be just the tip of the iceberg. I heard his age is the same as the Princess's, three years younger than me."

"Sigh, it's truly people comparing with people, making one want to die!"

Zhao Hongying always thought she was a genius of the same generation. Now that she saw Han Yu, she understood what a real genius was.

Living in the same era as him, I don't know if it's lucky or sad!

……

A few days passed in a flash.

Somewhere in the Chihuo Dynasty, millions of troops gathered and encircled the Red-Clad Army territory.

The current Red-Clad Army only had hundreds of thousands of troops. Facing this enemy that far exceeded its own numbers, it seemed there was only one ending: destruction.

On this day, Red-Clad Army territory.

Golden spears and iron horses, troops approaching the city.

The Red-Clad Army had been surrounded by the army, and there was no way to escape; they could only fight to the death.

Outside the city, in a villa, several cultivators with extraordinary bearing descended one after another.

A banquet was being held here, led by the three Kings of Chihuo, and all the Kings participated.

In the spacious hall, singing and dancing continued, and King Realm powerhouses took their seats one after another.

In the first seat, Chang Minghao stroked his long beard and waited silently.

"Changfeng King arrives!"

"Qinghuo King arrives!"

"Jinqiang King arrives!"

……

Soon, all the Kings of the Chihuo Dynasty gathered, all with smiles on their faces, their gazes deep.

"Ah hahaha, Senior Chiming, long time no see. It's been almost ten years since we last parted, right? You finally decided to leave the Royal City!"

The tall and strong Jinqiang King spoke first. He was in golden armor and looked very heroic and capable.

Jinqiang King was a Military Cultivator, very good at close-quarters combat, and was also one of the strongest among the more than ten Kings of the Chihuo Dynasty.

If there were no protection of national destiny, even Chang Minghao wouldn't dare to say he could defeat him.

Hearing Jinqiang King's words, Chang Minghao smiled indifferently.

"Jinqiang King has been running to the Dayan Imperial Dynasty all these years, so it's normal not to see each other for a long time. If you really want to see this old man, the Royal City is not far."

Jinqiang King understood the deep meaning in Chang Minghao's words and laughed loudly immediately.

"Chiming King is right, but I only went to the Dayan Imperial Dynasty for cultivation. You also know that in the Qingzhou territory, only there are Military Cultivators in the Emperor Realm."

"I have learned a lot from Emperor Chi Hu over the years. I wonder when Chiming King will have the opportunity to spar with the junior?"

A fighting spirit shot out from Jinqiang King's eyes.

Chang Minghao smiled indifferently: "I'm an old bone, I'm afraid I'm no match for you, Jinqiang King."

Jinqiang King waved his hand and smiled.

"Senior Chiming is truly humble. You are an old-school King of the Chihuo Dynasty and even the entire Qingzhou territory. I have only cultivated for three hundred years; how could I be your match? I think we don't need to wait for a while to spar."

"Why wait for another day? How about you and I fight today?"

As Jinqiang King spoke, the fighting spirit in his eyes became more intense. It was clear that he didn't come to attend the banquet; he was aiming for Chang Minghao.

In fact, among the Kings present, none were just attending the banquet.

They all knew very well that perhaps the situation of the entire Chihuo Dynasty and the distribution of interests of all the Kings would be settled today.

Chang Minghao looked at Jinqiang King and glanced at the other Kings. His wrinkled face unfolded like an old chrysanthemum.

"Jinqiang King, oh Jinqiang King, I know you all want to change the dynasty, but I don't know if you can bite off this hard bone of mine!"

Chang Minghao stood up from his seat, and the other two in the Royal Family also stood up one after another.

The smile on Jinqiang King's face immediately turned into a fierce look, and the fighting spirit in his eyes became a bit more intense.

"This hard bone of yours might not be as hard as you imagine. Even if I eat it all, it won't get stuck in my teeth!"

As Jinqiang King spoke, five Kings stood up one after another, clearly expressing their stance, standing on his side.

Including Jinqiang King, there were six Kings, while on the Royal Family side, there were only three Kings.

There were two Kings left at the scene, one was Changfeng King, and the other was Qinghuo King.

Jinqiang King glanced at the two and couldn't help but smile.

"Changfeng King, are you still determined to follow the Scarlet Fire Royal Family?"

Changfeng King was a thin man. He glanced at Jinqiang King and the others and snorted coldly.

"My clan has been able to continue to this day, all thanks to the ancestors of the Chihuo Dynasty, so naturally I will not forget my roots."

As he spoke, he stood up slowly and stood on the side of the three Kings of Chihuo.

The other Kings were not surprised by this result.

In their view, Changfeng King was the most foolishly loyal one. During this period of dynasty chaos, he was the most active in suppressing the rebels.

The dragon vein of the Scarlet Fire Dynasty had one main vein and three branch veins, one of which was in Fengyu City guarded by Changfeng King.

If it weren't for Changfeng King having to guard the dragon vein, perhaps he would have been more active in sweeping away the war.

There were two other branch veins, one in Feng City guarded by Jinqiang King, and the other was the Qinghuo King's fief.

These two were not peaceful masters; they all wanted to sit in the position of Country Lord of the Chihuo Dynasty.

Of course, that was in the past. Now, the Qinghuo King no longer had that thought.

The reason was very simple: his Life Soul had been handed over. If the Country Lord of the Chihuo Dynasty was to be done, it should be done by his own Master.

It was just that he didn't know if his mysterious Master wanted to do it, so he could only follow his own path and continue to develop.

Seeing everyone's gaze turn to him, the Qinghuo King couldn't help but sigh.

"I don't want to pick a side between you two. In short, don't come to provoke me."

Hearing the Qinghuo King's words, Jinqiang King laughed loudly.

To him, the Qinghuo King not picking a side now was also a kind of picking a side.

This guy's strength was not bad. If he picked the Chihuo Royal Family, the difficulty of his winning would increase a bit.

The three Kings of Scarlet Fire plus Qinghuo King and Changfeng King, even if there were only five Kings, could sweep away his teammates behind him.

However, Jinqiang King was very confident in himself. He only needed to deal with the strongest Chiming King, and the remaining five teammates would be able to easily defeat the remaining three.

"Qinghuo King, since you are not participating in the war, then stay far away. I don't want to hurt you by mistake."

Jinqiang King rubbed his hands, as if he was about to start a war in the next moment.

Qinghuo King shook his head helplessly, somewhat dissatisfied: "I said why are you so anxious? There are so many good wines and dishes, can't you finish eating before fighting?"

Jinqiang King laughed loudly.

"Qinghuo King, if you really want to eat and drink well, then after I finish them off, I will set up a national banquet in the Royal City to entertain you properly!"

"Or you can join us. This battle will end faster, and you can eat the national banquet sooner!"

Jinqiang King still wanted to recruit Qinghuo King before the battle, but the latter waved his hand.

"Forget it, if it were in the past, I might not mind joining you, but now, forget it."

Qinghuo King had words within words, took a pot of wine, carried a plate of peanuts, and walked slowly toward the outside of the hall.

While walking, he also said meaningfully.

"Sigh, what's the point of such small fighting."

Since learning the identity of the masked man that day, Qinghuo King felt that he was no longer on the same level as these people.

Now he was considered to be on the same front as that mysterious Senior. That Senior possessed such formidable combat power and definitely had an extraordinary background.

As long as he could obtain his approval, the Country Lord of this small Chihuo Dynasty was not worth mentioning at all.

It was a pity that the Senior didn't give him any instructions at all, which made Qinghuo King somewhat melancholy for a while.

Everyone was puzzled by the Qinghuo King's words, but now that swords were drawn and bows were bent, both sides were on the verge of firing, so they were too lazy to pay attention to this guy.

Only waiting for him to leave, they could decide the winner.

Qinghuo King had only taken a few steps when he bumped into someone, who blocked his way and grabbed the wine pot in his hand.

The young man grabbed the wine pot and poured a mouthful into his mouth.

Qinghuo King was stunned for a moment, looking at the elegant young man, his eyes full of shock and doubt.

This kid is so bold, daring to grab this King's wine to drink!

Qinghuo King was about to get angry when the young man suddenly smiled.

"Not bad, good wine!"

This voice, it seems somewhat familiar?

Qinghuo King's whole body trembled. Looking at the incomparably young young man, his heart beat wildly, and an unbelievable thought emerged.
