Chapter 444: Chapter 7: Please Entertain the Lord with a Play
Once Li Fei sat down, the Crown Prince turned his head and called on the next university representative:
“Who is leading the delegation from Moyun University?”
“Your Highness, it’s .”
A Martial Arts Master stood up.
“What is Moyun University’s opinion?”
“Moyun University agrees to allow Pudu Temple to join this Martial Arts Exchange Conference.”
The Martial Arts Master did not hesitate and directly expressed his opinion.
It was unclear whether this was a spur-of-the-mont decision or if he had already communicated with the Crown Prince ahead of ti.
“Good!”
The Crown Prince smiled and asked the next university leader.
“Haoliang University agrees to allow Pudu Temple to join this Martial Arts Exchange Conference.”
“Your Highness, I apologize, but I need to discuss this matter with the rest of the school before I can give an answer.”
“Tianyuan University agrees to let Pudu Temple join this Martial Arts Exchange Conference.”
“Your Highness, I apologize…”
“…”
As the Crown Prince finished asking all thirteen universities’ leaders, the final result was that eight universities agreed to let Pudu Temple join the Martial Arts Exchange Conference, while five universities abstained from giving an opinion.
With that, the outco was clear.
“True Monarch.”
The Crown Prince turned his head to look at Qingxu True Monarch and asked with a smile, “What do you think?”
Qingxu True Monarch locked eyes with the Crown Prince, and within his pupils, violet thunderbolts were continuously erging and vanishing.
In an instant, it seed as if an entire world was annihilated in his eyes, and then reborn!
The Crown Prince’s expression changed slightly, and an old eunuch standing nearby imdiately stepped forward, as if facing a formidable enemy.
A faint silver radiance burst forth from the old eunuch’s body, spreading outwards.
Seeing this scene, all the Martial Arts Masters present changed their expressions.
This was a Martial Arts Domain!
The old eunuch turned out to be a deeply concealed Great Grandmaster!
At the sa ti, Qing Fan, who had been sitting quietly, also made a move.
A pale golden light erupted from his body.
He too released his Martial Arts Domain!
The silver and golden light were like two surging waves about to collide.
Then, in the next mont, a strand of purple thunder erged between the two ‘waves.’
Hum—
The space inside the Great Hall seed to shake for a mont. Everyone present, regardless of their Cultivation, felt as if their entire bodies were electrified, with their scalps tingling.
The impending clash of the two Great Grandmasters’ Martial Arts Domains was thus annihilated into nothingness!
There was only one person present who could accomplish this.
Li Fei’s eyes flashed with an intense fervor.
This was the deanor of those at the pinnacle of humanity!
This was the summit he aspired to reach!
“Since this is the consensus, then let’s have Pudu Temple join this Martial Arts Exchange Conference,” said Qingxu True Monarch suddenly, speaking in a calm tone.
The Crown Prince snapped back to reality, looking at Qingxu True Monarch with palpable trepidation, as his back was drenched in sweat.
In that mont just now, he felt as if he had died and then been reborn, only to die again and be reborn, this cycle repeating dozens of tis!
Yet, in reality, his spirit had not been damaged in any way; those protective talismans and treasures on him had not been triggered.
Such prowess was nothing short of divine!
The Crown Prince looked at Qingxu True Monarch with newfound respect in his eyes.
Utilizing his status and tactics, he easily manipulated a group of Martial Arts Masters, Grandmasters, and True Masters.
With a re stroke, he could stir the winds and clouds of the world!
But having just exchanged that one glance with Qingxu True Monarch, he suddenly realized:
In front of these true pinnacle figures, all his efforts could be futile!
It might be true that Qingxu True Monarch had reasons not to harm him due to Sect’s constraints, but what if?
What if one day this person before him truly harbored a killing intent? Could he really be safe even if he hid within the Imperial Palace?
In just the blink of an eye, the Crown Prince reined in his joy from having successfully forced Qingxu True Monarch to yield, as well as his arrogance.
Before ascending that Dragon Chair, he decided to maintain proper reverence for these pinnacle figures.
“Very well, True Monarch, your magnanimity is as vast as the sea! I toast to you.”
With that, the Crown Prince proactively picked up his wine glass and toasted Qingxu True Monarch.
Qingxu True Monarch also picked up his glass and gently clinked it with the Crown Prince’s.
After the toast, Hui Kong Arhat, who had been silent, stood up, pressed his palms together in front of him, and bowed to Qingxu True Monarch:
“Amitabha, on behalf of Pudu Temple, I thank the True Monarch for your generosity.”
Qingxu True Monarch glanced at him and said indifferently:
“There’s no need to thank , thank the representatives here.”
Hui Kong Arhat went with the flow, turned to face the crowd, and bowed again:
“Amitabha, thank you to all the benefactors.”
The people present were not Qingxu True Monarch; they could not remain indifferent to the thanks of a ‘Great Arhat’ and rose to return the salute.
Once everyone was seated again, the Crown Prince spoke with a smile:
“Before I entered the Great Hall, I seed to hear the True Monarch ntion sparring, but I wonder who wishes to spar with whom?”
It was only when he ntioned it that people rembered the forthcoming spar between Li Fei and ng Tao, the professor from Hongyi University.
It had been overshadowed by the sudden arrival of the Crown Prince and the unexpected visit from the people of Pudu Temple, among a series of major events; the crowd had almost forgotten about this minor episode.
“Crown Prince, it was Professor ng Tao from Hongyi University who proposed to have a spar with Li Fei from Wu’an University.”
Qing Xia True Master finally managed to speak.
Previously, the discussion was about major matters, and she did not have the status to speak directly with the Crown Prince.
But now that the Crown Prince was clearly trying to lighten the mood, she tily took over the topic.
“Oh? Is that so?”
The Crown Prince imdiately showed an interested expression.
He looked at Li Fei, who had a ‘completely honest’ face: “Li Fei, would you like to spar with this professor?”
