The Immortal Taoist Chapter 227

Chapter 227 - The King's a.s.sembly

"It looks like we still have a chance here!"

Everything that Ling Dao said earlier, shocked Anshan Taiping and the others too much. Ling Dao had actually already killed quite a few Peak of the Air Defense Realm Elders, and a Early Stage Warriors of the Air Defense Realm like him actually dared to challenge Ling Dao while not knowing his own capabilities.

Anshan Flying Tiger and An Shanfeiying started to laugh bitterly. If they had known that Ling Dao had such a achievements in battle, they would not have continuously caused trouble for him. Unfortunately, they had never thought of this. Even if Ling Dao had told them all these, they would definitely not have believed him.

"I never thought that your Sky-splitting Sword Sect would still have one, and it's not weak either. Zhong Luohai's strength is definitely one of the top three within the Heavy Sword Sect s, but who would have thought that he would actually be killed by the Origin Stage Warrior s of your Sky-splitting Sword Sect. From the looks of it, your Sky-splitting Sword Sect's Origin Stage Warrior is probably able to compete with the strongest in the Heavy Sword Sect! "

The combined strength of Anshan and Black Tortoise Sword Sect truly could not compare to that of Heavy Sword Sect, Black Tortoise Sword Sect and True Martial Sword Sect. But in the Origin Stage Warrior, they held the advantage. Anshan Taiping didn't know exactly how many Origin Stage Warrior s there were, but she guessed that there wouldn't be many, and their numbers should be around the same.

Now that the Heavy Sword Sect had lost two Origin Stage Warrior s, the Origin Stage Warrior and the Origin Stage Warrior, on the level of the Origin Stage Warrior, had the confidence to defeat the alliance between the Heavy Sword Sect, the Black Tortoise Sword Sect and the True Martial Sword Sect.

"Unfortunately, at the level of air defence Warriors and Rus.h.i.+ng the Sky Stage Warriors, our side is inferior to the Heavy Sword Sect s. Fortunately, you killed quite a few Peak of the Air Defense Realm Elders, so perhaps we can really win this war! "

There were many air defence Elders in the Heavy Sword Sect, but there were at most a few dozen of them. Quite a number of people had died at Ling Dao's hands, and the gap between Anshan and himself had become smaller and smaller.

Furthermore, they had Ling Dao on their side. Although he was just a Early Stage Warriors of the Air Defense Realm, his fighting strength was truly abnormal. Just him alone, was already comparable to several Peak Imperial Sky Realm martial artist, and even more than that.

"Ling Dao, don't worry. I will definitely agree to our cooperation. After you return, let your Sect Master prepare well. For some time in the future, the war would definitely continue. It was still unknown whether or not he would be able to win.

Actually, the most dangerous place is your Sky-splitting Sword Sect. No matter how overbearing Heavy Sword Sect is, she will at most become the hidden master of the Anshan County, and they will not dare to directly destroy our Anshan. Otherwise, Great Luo Dynasty will definitely not let them off! "

As Anshan Taiping a.n.a.lyzed these things, Anshan Flying Tiger and An Shanfeiying who were at the side nearly fell asleep listening. Looking at their expressions, Anshan Taiping actually let out a sigh. The talent of these two sons were indeed not bad, but it was a pity that they didn't have the ability to become dukes.

Ling Dao and Anshan Taiping discussed for a very long time before everything was settled. The alliance between Anshan s was naturally not a small matter. As it was related to the grand plans for the future, they naturally could not be careless.

"Oh right, there's something that I don't know if you can help me with?"

Right after everything was discussed, Anshan Taiping looked at Ling Dao. Anshan Taiping was too embarra.s.sed to speak of this matter, but without Ling Dao's help, he did not have any confidence.

"What is it?"

Ling Dao was a little doubtful. If even Anshan Taiping was unable to settle this matter, then even if he took action, it would definitely be useless. Anshan Taiping was a Origin Stage Warrior, and definitely not an early stage one at that. The current Ling Dao might not even be a match for Anshan Taiping.

"You should know that a duke like me actually has a term of office. Every ten years, the Great Luo Dynasty would hold a king level a.s.sembly, similar to the one in the Sword Battlefield. However, it was impossible to keep the position of first place in the king level a.s.sembly, and it was impossible to keep the position of the top three to the very bottom.

There were a total of thirty counties in the Great Luo Dynasty, and all the families of the dukes in each county had to partic.i.p.ate. In any case, the top three from the bottom would suffer, while the other dukes were fine and could continue to be their dukes.

Each county had two or three spots, of which at least one of them had to be the son of a duke. In addition, they could also ask for outside help. All the youths under the age of thirty can partic.i.p.ate in the King's a.s.sembly. I just want to ask for your help, or else I won't be able to keep my position as a duke anymore! "

Right now, the Anshan was under thirty years old, and there were quite a few air defence Warriors. The reason why he invited Ling Dao was not only to help the Anshan obtain a better ranking, but also to sharpen Ling Dao.

The current Ling Dao was still too young, and every time, Origin Stage Warrior would come to help him during the king level a.s.sembly. If he was given another ten years to partic.i.p.ate in the next Conferred King a.s.sembly, he would definitely be able to get first place. This time, he would treat this as acc.u.mulating experience for Ling Dao.

Moreover, Ling Dao was a Crown Prince Xiao Yao. No matter what the royal family of the Great Luo Dynasty thought, he would never be able to deal with him on the surface. If Ling Dao appeared in the capital, it would definitely cause a sensation. He was the Crown Prince Xiao Yao.

The Great Luo Dynasty originally only had less than ten commanderies. It was because of the great rivers and mountains that the current thirty commanderies existed. It could be said that within the Great Luo Dynasty, many great generals that could fight were personally promoted by the King Carefree.

When the King Carefree Palace was destroyed, many of the great generals had caused a huge ruckus. Unfortunately, because they did not have a leader, they could only give up in the end. If Ling Dao appeared, they would definitely support him, and even if he was still unable to cultivate, they would definitely protect him with their lives.

Ling Dao clenched his fists tightly. If he were to partic.i.p.ate in the King's a.s.sembly, he would definitely return to the capital. His current strength was indeed not a match for the royal family of the Great Luo Dynasty, but if he was to carefully handle this situation, he should be able to protect himself.

There was still some time before the Conferred King a.s.sembly, so Ling Dao could still continue to raise his strength. Right now, he was only at early stage of air defence. There was no hope for him to become the champion. He was indeed not interested in being conferred the t.i.tle of King, but there were some things that he had no choice but to do.

Right now, he was only a Crown Prince Xiao Yao. With the destruction of the King Carefree Mansion and the disappearance of the King Carefree, the position of King Carefree naturally had nothing to do with him. However, the position of King Carefree was something that his father had painstakingly earned, so he naturally could not just disappear like that. If he could take first place in the king level a.s.sembly, then he would definitely want back the t.i.tle of King Carefree.

Generally speaking, the first ranked partic.i.p.ant could only become a duke. But he himself was a Crown Prince Xiao Yao. If he was the champion, it would be fine for him to become a King Carefree. Of course, the prerequisite for all this was that he had enough strength.

"No problem, I will definitely help with this matter!"

Anshan Taiping had saved Ling Dao more than once, so naturally Ling Dao would not object to his request. Moreover, partic.i.p.ating in the Conferred King a.s.sembly would not be harmful to Ling Dao. It was simply irrelevant to expose his ident.i.ty.

Even if the royal family of the Great Luo Dynasty wanted to deal with Ling Dao, they could only do it in secret. The King Carefree had contributed too much to the Great Luo Dynasty. If the royal family of the Great Luo Dynasty went against Ling Dao in public, who knew how much unrest would occur in the entire empire.

"Alright, with these words of yours, I am relieved!"

Anshan Feihong, who was at the side, did not expect that Anshan Taiping would actually invite Ling Dao to partic.i.p.ate in the king level a.s.sembly. As a An Shan's children, he naturally understood that it was impossible for a Anshan to be ranked in the bottom three. Why did Anshan Taiping say that?

"If there are no other matters, I will take my leave first!"

Originally, Anshan Taiping wanted to keep Ling Dao here for a few days, but looking at Ling Dao's appearance, it was obvious that he did not plan to stay. Since that was the case, Anshan Taiping naturally would not force him. After all, there would be opportunities in the future.

"Father, I do not understand, what do you mean by inviting Ling Dao to the king level a.s.sembly? Do not tell me that you are afraid that our Anshan will obtain the last three places, isn't this reason a little too clumsy? "

Anshan Taiping did not respond to Anshan Feihong's words; he merely smiled. Perhaps Anshan Feihong could guess that Ling Dao was the Crown Prince Xiao Yao, but it was a pity that Anshan Feihong did not know that the King Carefree had saved his life.

"If you ask me, I will tell you. You shouldn't have asked, but even if you had asked, I wouldn't have told you! "

After saying all that, Anshan Taiping left the great hall. In the entire palace, only Anshan Feihong, Anshan Flying Tiger and An Shanfeiying were left. They looked at each other, not knowing what Anshan Taiping was really up to.

"Grand master, we've already waited here for so long. Are we still going to continue waiting?"

"Is the Heavy Sword Sect deceiving us? Did that brat really leave the Sky-splitting Sword Sect? "

In a place not too far from Sky-splitting Sword Sect, there were five air defence Warriors standing together. Among them, the one in charge was the Sect Master of the True Martial Sword Sect. Amongst the other four, two were the vice sect master of air defence, and the other two were the elders of air defence.

"That won't happen. We'll just wait patiently!"

The Sect Master of the True Martial Sword Sect said it beautifully, but in truth, he was also unsure in his heart. If he stayed here for a year or so, he would truly be tricked. Logically speaking, there was no way that the intelligence report of the Heavy Sword Sect was wrong. Could it be that Ling Dao's return route was different from theirs?

Sect Master of the Heavy Sword Sect's intention was just to get rid of Ling Dao. The news that the Heavy Sword Sect had given to the True Martial Sword Sect was that Ling Dao was very strong, comparable to the Peak Imperial Sky Realm martial artist. Even though the Sect Master of the True Martial Sword Sect could not believe these words, he still came.

Sect Master of the True Martial Sword Sect was a Peak Imperial Sky Realm martial artist. Out of the two vice sect masters, one was Peak of the Air Defense Realm and the other was Late Air Defense. The remaining two elders were both from Late stage Imperial Sky Realm martial artist. If they were to join hands, forget about a single Ling Dao, even if it were ten, they wouldn't be able to escape.

Isn't it just a disciple of Sky-splitting Sword Sect? For the Sect Master to personally step in, is Heavy Sword Sect making a big fuss out of nothing? "

"Hmph. No matter what the reason is, I will kill that brat. If not for him, how could our True Martial Sword Sect's spirit stone lode be gone? "

In the last sword sparring compet.i.tion, Sect Master of the True Martial Sword Sect was extremely hostile towards Ling Dao. But unfortunately, he never had the chance to get rid of Ling Dao, which made Sect Master of the True Martial Sword Sect feel quite regretful!
