Chapter 917

Before long, martial artists flocked to the vicinity of the Jixian Academy's martial arts arena.

General Chilaowen's heart stirred, knowing the mystery was about to be revealed.

He immediately rushed to the vicinity of the arena, mingling with the crowd.

Sure enough, the arena was decorated with lanterns and streamers, and the high platform was crowded with people.

Among them were many high-ranking officials in purple and gold, and many Great Ming tributes mixed in.

"His Imperial Majesty has arrived!"

Before long, a duck-like voice sounded, and a young emperor was seen slowly walking toward the high platform, surrounded by palace maids and Embroidered Uniform Guard generals.

The martial artists present, even the Seven Heroes of Wudang, bowed slightly and shouted "Long live."

General Chilaowen didn't dare to show any flaws and naturally performed the rites.

After the young emperor ascended the dragon throne on the high platform and declared everyone could rise, he slowly said,

"For this grand event of the Great Ming, being able to have all you martial arts heroes come to assist is truly a fortunate event for the Great Ming.

I, on behalf of the Great Ming, thank all the martial arts masters and heroes."

As he spoke, the young emperor, with the dignity of an emperor, performed a group bow on the platform.

The people below, including the Seven Heroes of Wudang, naturally returned the bow.

General Chilaowen couldn't help but complain inwardly that the rules and etiquette of these Central Plains people were truly numerous.

But he didn't dare to be negligent and continued to return the bow.

"This time I ascended the Qinglong Peak and, thanks to the First Dragon Head, Fourth Dragon Head, Sixth Dragon Head, and Seventh Dragon Head, I won a glory for the Great Ming."

When the young emperor spoke of the Dragon Heads of the Qinglong Society, he looked even more pious, bowing toward the sky in the distance.

Among the martial artists present, no one dared to laugh at their own young emperor.

After all, although the Great Ming was still an imperial dynasty, those with discerning eyes knew that this imperial dynasty was already an outer force of the Qinglong Society.

Even the current young emperor was supported by the Qinglong Society.

Coupled with the terrifying and powerful influence and strength of the Qinglong Society, and the First Dragon Head being the number one taboo of the Nine Provinces,

the young emperor saying this was not far from the truth.

Only General Chilaowen constantly despised the young emperor of the Great Ming in his heart.

He secretly thought it was ridiculous that the young emperor, with the dignity of an emperor, would act like a child.

The young emperor naturally didn't know that someone below was slandering him.

After wishing the Dragon Heads of the Qinglong Society well, the young emperor took out a jade pendant from his bosom and said,

"This is the mission jade pendant bestowed by the Qinglong Society; complete the mission and you can obtain rewards.

These rewards include, but are not limited to, divine weapons, pills, techniques, and so on!"

Whoa!

Rewards from the Qinglong Society!?

The martial artists finally understood that the Great Ming court gathering them was to complete a mission for the Qinglong Society.

And they could get rewards from the Qinglong Society for completing the mission?

Thinking of those who had joined the Qinglong Society and taken off like a rocket,

the martial artists were all burning with enthusiasm for the rewards of the Qinglong Society.

General Chilaowen was even more surprised; it turned out that the Qinglong Society had personally given the Great Ming a mission, and completing it would earn rewards!

He had thought that the Great Ming being able to get a mission from the Qinglong Society was because they were a vassal, and he hadn't thought much of it.

Seeing the martial artists below burning with enthusiasm, their scorching hot eyes, the young emperor knew the atmosphere was sufficiently built up.

He nodded with satisfaction and said,

"This mission is to go to another world and obtain three Heavenly Fragrant Cardamoms!

For every one retrieved, you can go to the Great Ming treasury to receive an extra reward.

Those who assist the Great Ming in completing the mission can all follow me next time to the Qinglong Peak to receive rewards."

Another world?

What is another world?

The martial artists were a bit confused at first.

After all, this was the first time they had heard this term.

But when the young emperor spoke of the rewards, even General Chilaowen couldn't help but feel his heart burn.

The rewards this time were so generous?

Not only could they receive an extra reward from the Great Ming treasury, but they could also go to the Qinglong Peak with the young emperor to receive rewards?

Happiness came so suddenly!

716 Yagyu Tajima-no-kami?

Even General Chilaowen, hearing such rewards, felt his heart burn.

He naturally looked down on the rewards of the Great Ming treasury; after all, the Great Ming's national strength was far inferior to the Great Yuan's.

But being able to go to the Qinglong Peak and receive rewards from the Qinglong Society,

this was the long-cherished wish of all martial artists under heaven.

General Chilaowen was also burning with enthusiasm, looking at the high platform, full of anticipation.

The young emperor knew the time was ripe and threw out the mission jade pendant.

The mission jade pendant transformed into a door in the sky.

Behind the door, nothing could be seen clearly.

"This is the door to another world, everyone can go now.

Remember, I and the Great Ming need three Heavenly Fragrant Cardamoms."

Although the young emperor knew what the target world of the mission looked like through the mission jade pendant,

it was the first time he knew that by relying on this door in mid-air, one could go to another world?

He was also curious, but after all, he was a monarch of a country, so it was impossible for him to be the first to go.

The others were all hesitant and didn't dare to step forward.

What people fear most is the unknown!

This door was magical, who knew what was behind it?

General Chilaowen was not afraid, but he didn't want to be the first bird to avoid exposing his identity.

Secondly, this was a Great Ming mission; he only had the intention to stir up trouble, not to truly complete it for the Great Ming.

After all, although the Great Ming was far behind the Great Yuan, and General Chilaowen had already defected from the Great Yuan, he was still unwilling to help the Great Ming.

For a time, the door hung in mid-air.

The entire arena was bustling, and after a long while, no one went.

The young emperor was also quite embarrassed; how come they were all excited at the beginning?

When it really came time to use them, they were all pushing and shoving?

He looked at Cao Cao Zhengchun, signaling him to come forward.

Cao Cao Zhengchun was now the eunuch in charge of both the Eastern and Western Depots.

Not only had his martial arts cultivation broken through to the late stage of the Land Immortal Realm, but his power in the Great Ming was also flourishing.

He had collected quite a few experts under his command.

He knew that the Great Ming had to complete this mission.

Otherwise, the young emperor might not have trouble, but he, the powerful eunuch, would have to step down.

He immediately scanned the martial artists in the arena who had secretly defected to the Eastern and Western Depots.

Seeing their factory director's sharp eyes, although these martial artists were still afraid of the unknown,

they had no choice but to bite the bullet and stand out,

"Everyone, this is the time to repay the court and gain the favor of the Qinglong Society, how can you be so cowardly?"

After speaking, this person directly used light-body techniques and plunged into the door in mid-air.

After entering the door, there was no sound at all.

"We martial arts practitioners, aren't we going against the heavens?"

Another martial artist who had secretly defected to the Eastern Depot also jumped into the door.

Following the lead of the martial artists secretly collected by the Eastern and Western Depots, more and more martial artists rushed into the door in mid-air. ===== CHAPTER 918 =====
