A simple remark.
Like an invisible slap, it landed fiercely on the faces of the strong from the four forces.
Especially the strong from Yanzhou and Jingzhou.
Since ancient tis, they have been particularly dominant.
But today.
They had to choose to keep a low profile.
Because if they revealed the truth, they would be ridiculed by the whole world.
Actually, saying it out loud isn’t a big deal.
Even if all the magic artifacts on them were stolen, the main reason they were struck by lightning isn’t sothing to be ashad of.
But if they admitted their artifacts were taken by Yongzhou cultivators, it would surely bring up the matter of the Qilin egg.
Once the news of the Qilin egg becos known, they wouldn’t be able to lay claim to it anymore.
This is the main reason they won’t disclose the matter.
Situ Shu seed to notice Huo Jiuyan’s reluctance to speak and changed the topic, "Although there were so unexpected incidents in this session of the Nine Provinces Elite Competition, overall, it went quite smoothly."
"Since the competition is over, everyone shall return to their respective sects!"
A big doubt arose in Xu Wendong’s heart.
From beginning to end.
He never saw anyone from the Yanzhou Imperial Family.
This truly seed a little inappropriate.
According to common sense, the Nine Provinces Elite Competition is always held in Yanzhou City, they should at least make an appearance.
However, he didn’t think much about it either.
"Sister, I’m going back to Qingzhou first. After you successfully undergo your tribulation, rember to co find in Qingzhou City." Xu Wendong sent a ssage to Nalan Yanran.
He quite wanted to accompany Nalan Yanran into the mortal world, firstly to show her the outside world and try so of the delicacies from the mundane world.
Secondly, to act as her protector during her tribulation.
But.
He needed to go to the Sword Pavilion since he obtained the Warm Jade.
He wanted Xu Fan’s first sight upon waking to be of him.
Nalan Yanran: "Take care of yourself too."
Xu Wendong nodded and then stepped onto the teleportation array with Yuan Kui, monts later, they returned to Qingzhou City.
"According to the previous agreent, you won first place in the Nine Provinces Elite Competition. The court will reward each of you with six magic artifacts."
Yuan Kui waved his right hand, and eighteen magic artifacts appeared before everyone.
Previously, seeing these magic artifacts would have excited the Three Great Sects.
But now.
Counting out those refined by Xu Wendong, they had nearly a hundred magic artifacts, each sect having six magic artifacts was not seen as much.
However.
No one refused the six magic artifacts.
Xu Wendong looked at Yuan Kui and respectfully asked, "Senior, do you know the Luo Clan?"
He had asked many people about the Luo Clan.
Alas, no one knew.
That’s why he was inquiring with Yuan Kui.
Yuan Kui shook his head slightly, "I’ve never heard of this surna."
A strong sense of disappointnt rose in Xu Wendong’s heart, even a Nascent Soul Stage expert like Yuan Kui didn’t know about the Luo Clan, seeking his mother would be as hard as reaching the sky.
"Does Your Majesty know about the Luo Clan?" Xu Wendong vaguely felt that his mother was likely from a powerful force, otherwise, how could there be almost no information about the Luo Clan.
Yuan Kui smiled, "I can help you ask."
"Thank you, Senior!"
"Alright, you all should leave now, I, too, must return to the palace to report!" Yuan Kui disappeared in front of everyone as he spoke.
Xu Wendong looked at Xia Hou, respectfully saying, "Sect Leader, I need to go to the Sword Pavilion, so I won’t be returning to the Elixir Sect with you!"
Xia Hou nodded and then flew towards the direction of the Elixir Sect with Lu Chenfeng and Bai Jie.
Ning Yin also flew towards the Jade Maiden Palace with Zhongli, Zhu Qing, and Jian You.
Xu Canghai also flew with Xu Wendong towards the Sword Pavilion, he glanced at Xu Wendong, smiling, "Are you wondering why you didn’t see anyone from the Imperial Family at the Nine Provinces Elite Competition?"
Xu Wendong expressed his opinion, "I feel like the Nine Provinces Imperial Family doesn’t value the cultivators of the Nine Provinces."
Xu Canghai laughed, "They control this world, and we cultivators are just a speck of dust in it, why should they value us?"
Xu Wendong was montarily stunned, feeling Xu Canghai’s words made sense.
He then continued, "Since they don’t care about us, why do they hold the Nine Provinces Elite Competition?"
Xu Canghai shrugged, "They indeed don’t care about us, but they have to get an idea of our capabilities!"
Xu Wendong suddenly understood.
Xu Canghai hesitated, he originally wanted to say that Xu Wendong’s performance in the Nine Provinces Elite Competition was too eye-catching, possibly inviting catastrophe.
But this thought was quickly dismissed.
Not to ntion the Nine Provinces Imperial Family might not act against Xu Wendong.
Even if they truly couldn’t tolerate him, Xu Wendong’s abilities are not sothing the Nine Provinces Imperial Family can easily contend with.
After all, he is a Heaven’s Chosen One.
And also possesses the Lingxiao Sword.
Fire Spirit Pearl, Water Spirit Pearl.
Even understanding formations.
To put it bluntly, his current foundations, no dynasty might be able to surpass.
Of course.
Xu Wendong’s abilities aren’t just these.
Apart from two spiritual artifacts, and the Water Spirit Pearl, Fire Spirit Pearl, he also has two formidable spells.
Both the Gravity Technique and the Water Droplet Sword Technique can be decisive in group battles.
As for the token obtained before leaving the Outer Domain Battlefield, it’s definitely a powerful weapon; Xu Wendong hasn’t refined it yet, so he doesn’t know its true utility.
anwhile, as Xu Wendong and company were heading to the Sword Pavilion.
Huo Jiuyan followed Situ Shu to a spacious palace within the palace.
Situ Shu asked, "Speak, what exactly happened in the Outer Domain Battlefield?"
Huo Jiuyan respectfully answered, "We discovered in the Outer Domain Battlefield that Yongzhou obtained an egg, a live egg, as Nalan Yanran said, that egg is a Qilin egg."
"What?" Situ Shu’s murky eyes burst with a sharp light, clearly shocked by this news.
After all, the Qilin is a legendary divine beast.
Huo Jiuyan said, "This news shouldn’t be wrong, after all, it was personally acknowledged by Nalan Yanran."
"We intended to seize the Qilin egg, but..."
"Crucial monts, lightning descended from the sky, hitting our Yanzhou and Jingzhou cultivators."
"Then we lost our combat power, not only that, the artifacts we originally had, and those obtained in the Outer Domain Battlefield, were also taken by the Jizhou cultivators."
Situ Shu was furious, "How have they beco so despicable?"
Huo Jiuyan nervously said, "I heard the Yongzhou cultivators have been very close to Xu Wendong lately, so I guess they probably learned their misdeeds from Xu Wendong!"
"This is no small matter, if that egg truly is a Qilin egg, Yongzhou might rise and beco the first in the Nine Provinces."
"That Qilin egg must not fall into the hands of Yongzhou."
Saying this, he slowly stood up and said, "Gather Yanzhou’s Golden Core Stage cultivators, head to Yongzhou, and seize that Qilin egg!"
