Song Changming is clearly different; he is a nuclear warhead that can truly detonate!
Imperial Capital Yunling City, Prince Yu’s Mansion.
In the back garden, a young man wearing a python robe and a purple crown was sitting in a pavilion, watching several martial arts powerhouses fiercely battle outside the pavilion, with powerful qi colliding intensely.
A maid beside him offered him plums, which he impatiently pushed aside. Turning to look at the old servant nearby, he happily asked, "These people are good, where did you find them?"
"These are experts listed on the Earth List, not difficult to find given their reputation. Upon hearing that Your Highness appreciates them, they all ca along," the old servant replied with a smile.
"Good, good! I like martial artists who are highly skilled and sensible!" Gu Yang laughed heartily.
"That’s enough, have them stop. Soday I will host a martial arts gathering and let all my martial artists participate, then have them properly ranked in three, six, and nine tiers!"
The old servant nodded in agreent.
At that mont, a man in a white robe, holding a folded fan, walked briskly over, glanced at those martial artists with strong auras outside the pavilion, and bowed his hands in salute.
"Your Highness."
Seeing the newcor, Gu Yang waved his hand, saying, "It’s Lu Xiaoyao, no need for formalities. How’s the task I assigned you?"
Lu Xiaoyao appeared slightly distressed and shook his head, saying, "Your Highness, this trip I did not see Song Changming. His people say Song Changming is in seclusion, not seeing visitors."
Upon hearing this, the smile on Gu Yang’s face, which had been quite pleasant, vanished instantly. He slapped the armchair and angrily said.
"Outrageous! This is the second ti, I wish to see him, yet he keeps pushing away! What a Song Changming! What a Dragon Blade Guest!"
"Your Highness, that Song Changming is ranked eleventh on the Celestial List. He recently defeated a group of strongn from the Outer World Corpse Refining Sect, is a person of extraordinary abilities, must be treated with caution, it’s absolutely not..."
Lu Xiaoyao hesitated but couldn’t help reminding.
"Nonsense, if he didn’t have abilities, why would I lower my dignity and repeatedly send people to invite him out?" Gu Yang listened increasingly displeased, directly interrupting.
"He’s not a descendant from those hidden major sects, no matter how high his martial achievents, he’s still a citizen of my Da Lai. As a Prince, I have extended my esteem, yet he does not know good from bad! It seems he doesn’t take seriously!"
"Issue an order; have General Zhang take people to Wangyue County City and have the Governor bring three thousand county soldiers to invite Song Changming to erge! This ti, whether he cos or not, he must co!"
"Yes!" the nearby officer agreed; he was rely carrying out orders, without considering other consequences.
"This..." the nearby Lu Xiaoyao was sweating on his forehead.
This Young Prince had previously stayed deep in the palace, young and still unclear of matters. Now, having just left the Imperial Palace to establish a mansion and beco titled king, he is eagerly recruiting various talents under his command.
The Young Prince knows the weight of the Celestial List, but doesn’t know exactly how strong those martial artists on it are; he lacks this concept.
Even more so, he doesn’t understand how exaggerated the worth of Song Changming’s single blade eradicating the group of Corpse Refining Sect strongn is!
Yet, Lu Xiaoyao, as soone from the Martial Realm, understands this very well.
Song Changming’s true strength probably surpasses imagination, almost equivalent to those Major Sect Leader level mighty existences!
Such a character, not to ntion a re Young Prince, even the current Emperor likely can’t command such a person!
But on this matter, he had already spoken too much before.
The Young Prince wouldn’t listen to him no matter what he said, and not only was it to no avail, it would anger this master.
Later, Donglai County City.
The Governor of Donglai encountered the most headache-inducing matter since taking office.
"By the order of Prince Yu, instruct Governor Ma Shisheng from Wangyue County with three thousand county soldiers to cooperate with ," the tall general declared loudly in the Governor’s Mansion.
The tone was indisputable, leaving the Governor no room to maneuver.
"General, absolutely not! Hero Song is a renowned figure in the world; not only is his martial arts exceptional, but he also saved our Donglai Prefecture from calamity. He’s admired by thousands. Such a person can only be treated with respect, not forced through strength!" Governor Ma Shisheng urgently spoke.
"This is Prince Yu’s decree, Lord Governor, you just need to follow the orders," the general said expressionlessly.
Ma Shisheng gritted his teeth, inwardly cursing the Young Prince’s recklessness.
He was well aware of what a formidable person Song Changming is, long unconstrained by worldly power, and unlikely to comply.
This would simply be pushing him and his three thousand county soldiers into the fire pit.
"General, let accompany you to persuade him. Please don’t resort to force, otherwise..."
Ma Shisheng wanted to try negotiating, but the general was already impatient, reprimanding, "Ma Shisheng, you should know the consequences of defying imperial authority!"
The Governor changed his expression upon hearing this, ultimately agreeing.
Being part of the bureaucratic system ans defying imperial authority is among the gravest offenses.
The mild consequence would be dismissal, while exile or imprisonnt were very common.
He couldn’t afford such a charge.
Soon enough, after gathering three thousand soldiers, they filled the main roads of the county city, heading to the Liu Residence, attracting the attention of many.
They didn’t understand why the governnt mobilized such an excessive force today.
Outside Liu Residence, the county soldiers ford an impenetrable blockade.
"Lord Governor, what is the matter today?" Liu Ziwen received news from the soldiers and was waiting outside the residence early.
Upon seeing the Wangyue County’s Governor, he couldn’t help but ask.
Having stayed in Wangyue County City for such a long ti, he naturally had nurous interactions with the Governor, and they knew each other fairly well.
"Ziwen, it’s Prince Yu who wishes to et Hero Song, specifically sending along to invite him. They say not to neglect Hero Song," Ma Shisheng hurried forward to explain.
