Batian Martial Soul

Chapter 14971 Tianlong Kingdom

After arriving in the Heavenly Dragon Kingdom, Ling Xiao removed his concealment runes.

He came to seek cooperation, not to assassinate anyone, so there was no need for him to be secretive; he wanted to meet people openly and honestly.

Besides, he had concealed his presence before purely out of fear of being discovered by the spies of the Demon Soul Clan and being ambushed along the way. Now he was no longer afraid, having already arrived in the Heavenly Dragon Kingdom. Even if the Demon Soul Clan had ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare to cause trouble here.

After all, the Demon Soul Clan still maintains a cooperative relationship with the Heavenly Dragon Kingdom.

Ling Xiao arrived at the gate, cupped his hands, and looked at the guards at the entrance: "Brothers, my name is Ling Xiao. I have come to request an audience with the King of Tianlong Kingdom. I hope you can announce my arrival!"

"Hmph, you think you can just see the king whenever you want? Don't you even know who you are? Get lost! This isn't a place for you to run wild. We've already been very lenient by not making a move!"

One of the guards sneered.

The Tianlong Kingdom has a high opinion of itself, so its warriors are all arrogant and show no respect to outsiders.

Ling Xiao wasn't angry. Going directly to see the king was indeed a bit abrupt, and it seemed normal that the king wasn't happy about it, so he changed his strategy.

"Since I can't just see the king, surely I can see your eldest princess, Long Muyu? Long Muyu is my friend. Please inform her, and I'm sure she'll see me!"

Actually, he wasn't sure himself, but if he didn't try, wouldn't it be a waste of his time? What if Long Muyu really wanted to see him?

"Oh ho, you can't see the king, so you claim to be friends with our princess? How dare you be so shameless! Get lost, or don't blame us for being impolite!"

The guards' attitude remained as hostile as ever.

Ling Xiao sneered, and suddenly released an extremely terrifying aura that enveloped the two guards: "I advise you to be cautious. If I really come here to cause trouble, you two will already be dead. Go and report first. Whether it's true or not, you'll know as soon as you ask."

The two guards' expressions changed again. The eldest princess had indeed left Tianlong Kingdom recently, and it was not impossible for her to make friends outside. If they really offended the eldest princess's friend, given that person's personality, it would really cause some trouble.

Thinking of this, one of them said, "Alright, you wait here first. I'm just informing the eldest princess. As for whether the eldest princess will see you, that's not something we can decide."

After speaking, the man turned and left.

The remaining person continued to stare intently at Ling Xiao.

It seems they still don't quite trust Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao shook his head and smiled wryly. These two guards were quite responsible. However, he didn't plan to do anything. He came to Tianlong Kingdom this time for cooperation. Even if the cooperation failed, they absolutely could not become enemies. Otherwise, having Tianlong Kingdom as an opponent would be quite troublesome.

In about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the guard who had gone back to report returned.

"Well? Will the king or the eldest princess be willing to see me?" Ling Xiao was still a little nervous. After all, if they wouldn't even be willing to see him, this operation would probably fail.

"Please come with me. I didn't go to see the king, but the eldest princess said she wants to see you."

Ling Xiao nodded. Meeting Long Muyu would be fine, and then going through Long Muyu to meet the King of Tianlong Kingdom would be the same. Long Muyu controls the Tianlong Cavalry and is also a princess, so her status in Tianlong Kingdom must be quite high.

After traveling for a while, the two finally stopped inside a pavilion.

"Young Master Ling, you can wait here. The eldest princess will be here soon." After saying this, the guard left, as he still had his gatekeeping duties to perform.

Ling Xiao sat in the pavilion, looking around. There was a martial arts arena nearby, where martial artists from the Tianlong Kingdom were practicing, including many young people.

Those people seemed to be quite hostile towards Ling Xiao.

Their gazes toward Ling Xiao were filled with provocation and disdain.

"That guy is the eldest princess's friend? He doesn't look that great to me. Besides being a bit handsome, he's not as muscular as me!"

"Exactly! Look at my biceps, and then look at him, all skinny!"

"However, this kid is said to have defeated the Demon Soul Clan's great formation, so he's quite capable!"

"You're kidding, I don't believe it. Someone like him could take on ten of them!"

"Why do you think the eldest princess wants to see this boy? Could it be that she's fallen in love with him at first sight?"

"Shut up, all of you! Who dares to say anything bad about my sister!"

A young man stepped out from the crowd and shouted sternly.

Upon seeing this person, everyone shut their mouths and dared not utter a sound, clearly indicating that the young man held an extraordinary status.

Ling Xiao shook his head. How come he always runs into these gossipy guys wherever he goes?

He didn't mind what these people were saying, but how could a strong woman like Long Muyu possibly fall for him? That's ridiculous.

But I don’t think I’ve offended any of these geniuses from the Heavenly Dragon Kingdom, so why are they all so hostile towards me?

"You're Ling Xiao? The guy who's known as the number one prodigy in the chaotic martial arts world?"

The young man flew through the air and landed inside the pavilion, staring at Ling Xiao and asking a question.

"I don't know if I'm the number one genius in the chaotic martial arts world, but I am indeed quite strong."

Ling Xiao is not modest at all.

"Alright, since you're so confident, do you have the guts to spar with me? It's just a friendly exchange, you're not afraid, are you?"

The boy said, "If you want to be with my sister, you have to have some ability."

“They’re talking nonsense!” Ling Xiao said.

"I don't care if they're lying or telling the truth, just tell me if you dare." The boy stood with his hands on his hips, clearly trying to force Ling Xiao to take action. If Ling Xiao didn't, this matter wouldn't be over.

Ling Xiao sighed: "Your Excellency is of noble birth, I dare not make a move lightly. If I am not mistaken, you are the Crown Prince of Tianlong Kingdom, and Long Muyu's younger brother. Your strength is not bad, but unfortunately you are no match for me!"

"You! You're quite the expert, actually guessing my identity. But what makes you think I'm no match for you? We haven't even exchanged blows!"

The boy was very unconvinced.

Ling Xiao smiled and said, "You dropped your jade pendant!"

The boy was shocked and looked at his waist, only to find that the waist tag that had been hanging there just moments before had vanished.

He looked at Ling Xiao in horror, momentarily speechless. This was too outrageous. When did the other party take his waist token?

If the other party wanted to kill him, wouldn't it be easy for them?

"How dare you steal His Highness the Crown Prince's waist token! You deserve to die!" Some martial artists around were about to make a move.

"Wait!" The boy waved his hand and looked at Ling Xiao: "As expected of someone even my sister praises, you are indeed amazing. I admit defeat!"

"Xiao Feng, you're being naughty again!"

Just then, a voice rang out.

"Sister!" The boy looked towards the distance, where Long Muyu was walking gracefully towards him.

"Greetings, Your Highness!" The others also kowtowed.

Ling Xiao also stood up. Although he didn't kowtow, sitting there wasn't a good idea; he was there to seek cooperation, so he should at least show some courtesy. (End of Chapter)
