Just as Li Yu and the others returned to the recruitment counter, Crown Prince Murong Xingqiao walked over. "Daoist Li, can I have a word with you?"
"No problem. Ye Qiu, help Junior Brother Ji with the entry procedures first. Then, bring Junior Brother Ji with you to distribute flyers and attract more people!" Li Yu said.
Ji Qinglan was speechless.
He was a prince of the Xi Liang dynasty, yet he was being asked to distribute flyers.
"Your Highness, let's go!" After arranging the matters at hand, Ye Zichen said.
Li Yu quickly followed Murong Xingqiao to the edge of the square and boarded her carriage.
"Crown Prince, is there something important?" Li Yu went straight to the point.
"It's about Ji Qinglan!" Murong Xingqiao pondered for a moment, then said meaningfully.
"You're worried that Emperor Xi Liang won't be happy and will make things difficult for the Da Xia dynasty. Your Highness, don't worry. I was the one who started this, so I'll personally resolve it. I won't implicate the Da Xia dynasty!" Li Yu said firmly.
He knew that Ji Qinglan had a special identity. Today's matter wasn't as simple as a bet between ordinary people.
This was a contest between two countries. It was a matter of great importance, involving the fate of two countries and the lives of countless people.
Therefore, as the Crown Prince, Murong Xingqiao was definitely worried that this matter would cause a war between the two countries.
"No, that's not what I meant. What I wanted to tell you is that the Da Xia dynasty will always stand behind you and support you. If Xi Liang wants to make things difficult for you, the country will naturally support you.
For nearly a hundred years, our Da Xia dynasty has been weak and has been repeatedly bullied by other countries, especially the Xi Liang dynasty. We've given in time and time again, but they've continued to push their luck.
The Da Xia dynasty seems to have forgotten its former strength and pride. It's become more and more humble and cowardly.
Our people seem to have lost their pride, confidence, and morale.
But it would never happen again.
Today, you have brought unparalleled glory to the Da Xia dynasty. Once this news spreads, it will definitely inspire the people of the Da Xia dynasty and allow us to regain the pride that belongs to the people of the Da Xia dynasty.
Over the past few days, I've also come to understand one thing. Our Da Xia dynasty will never bow down to anyone or any country.
Even if they had to fight to the last man, they could not lose their national spirit.
So don't worry. If the Xi Liang dynasty threatens you or forces you, you have the support of the entire Da Xia dynasty. If the Xi Liang dynasty attacks you, there are still the millions of soldiers of our Great Xia Dynasty! "
Murong Xingqiao's speech was impassioned, but his gaze was firm and unshakable.
Her words also stunned Li Yu.
He did not expect Murong Xingqiao to say something like that.
But only then would he have a backbone!
Of course, Murong Xingqiao was not just saying beautiful words. She was thinking this from the bottom of her heart.
Today, the prodigies of the Da Xia dynasty had completely defeated the Xi Liang dynasty. She could see the long-lost pride and confidence on everyone's faces.
Furthermore, she had obtained a powerful constitution. The Da Xia dynasty also had powerful young prodigies like Li Yu and Ye Qiu. Their future potential was limitless.
Now, Wolf King was no longer a threat. The Nether Demon School had also been eradicated. The Da Xia dynasty had already resolved most of its internal crisis.
Furthermore, there was that mysterious expert holding the fort.
What were they afraid of? Why should they continue to bow down to the Xi Liang dynasty?
If they could not live with a backbone, then the Da Xia dynasty would only exist in name.
If their national pride was gone, would this country still be able to last?
Even if the Xi Liang dynasty was really powerful, it was not undefeatable.
Furthermore, Ji Qinglan's life was in their hands. They could not be afraid of the Xi Liang dynasty.
Therefore, Murong Xingqiao wanted to tell Li Yu not to be afraid. She wanted to give him enough confidence and support.
He couldn't let these young geniuses become so fearful anymore.
Of course, the reason Murong Xingqiao said this to Li Yu was that she had mistakenly thought that Li Yu had not said anything when Li Yu had been intimidated by Yu Feng.
She thought that Li Yu was really worried that the Xi Liang dynasty would make things difficult for him.
"Hahaha, I am relieved to hear your words, Your Highness. But don't worry. With me around, the Xi Liang dynasty will not be able to cause any trouble!" Li Yu smiled confidently.
When these words came out of his mouth, it did not seem like he was bragging at all. Instead, it was very convincing.
Murong Xingqiao looked at Li Yu. She always felt that this guy was always so calm and composed, as if there was nothing in the world that he was afraid of.
…
Just now, when Li Yu and Murong Xingqiao walked into the carriage, there was a sudden commotion near the recruitment platform of the Five Elements Sect.
Someone had recognized Su Mu.
That person had a loud voice. Because of his excitement, his voice was a little high-pitched, which instantly attracted the attention of the people around him.
Now, Su Mu's name was absolutely known to every household. His existence was like thunder in everyone's ears.
He was the reclusive prodigy who ranked third on the list of 3,000 physiques in the Da Xia dynasty and had been rewarded with the magic method.
Everyone was full of curiosity about him.
"Brother Sun, you are also here!" Su Mu did not expect to meet an acquaintance here.
However, now that he was here, he was no longer afraid of being recognized.
"Yes, that's great. At that time, I thought that everyone in Feng City was dead. If I didn't see the list of 3,000 physiques, I wouldn't have known that you were still alive!" The man surnamed Sun was also very excited.
The conversation between the two instantly attracted the attention of the people around them. Suddenly, countless people curiously surrounded them.
"He is Su Mu!"
"This person is Su Mu, who ranked third on the list of physiques?" Everyone looked at Su Mu with surprise and curiosity.
Although Su Mu's clothes were ragged and he looked like a beggar, no one dared to look down on him. He was definitely a prodigy.
He was the one who had the Great Evolution Dao Body and could compete with Ji Qinglan.
Moreover, he now had the magic method. Who would dare to look down on him?
This commotion instantly attracted the attention of the people from the various sects.
The first to rush over was naturally the Great Elder of the Five Elements Sect — Immortal Jin Yang.
"Little kid, you are Su Mu!"
Immortal Jin Yang looked at Su Mu with excitement. "I am Immortal Jin Yang, an elder of the Five Elements Sect. Are you willing to join the Five Elements Sect?"
Immortal Jin Yang did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
"Greetings, Senior Jin Yang. I'm here to join the Five Elements Sect!" Su Mu cupped his fists and said excitedly.
He had traveled a long way to join the Five Elements Sect. Now, he was finally going to get what he wanted.
Immortal Jin Yang was surprised and happy when he heard Su Mu's words. His old face was about to bloom with joy.
He really did not expect that Su Mu would actually express his intention to join their sect. This was simply a good thing that fell from the sky.
The onlookers were in an uproar. They did not expect Su Mu to directly choose the Five Elements Sect.
The Five Elements Sect was really unstoppable now.
The Ancestor returned, killed the Wolf King, and eradicated the Nether Demon School. He gained both fame and fortune, and his strength increased greatly.
Now, with the addition of Su Mu, the Five Elements Sect had a peerless genius who could compete with other prodigies in the future.
They could also obtain his Nine Pure Immortal Light Scripture.
It should be known that even the Yuqing Daoism did not have a complete immortal technique.
With this immortal technique, the Five Elements Sect's overall strength would probably surpass the Yuqing Daoism in a few years' time.
Coupled with their current reputation, it was only a matter of time before they became the number one sect in the Da Xia dynasty.
"The Five Elements Sect will definitely be the star of today's recruitment!"
"Yes, yes, I also want to join the Five Elements Sect!"
"Yes, most of the people here should want to join the Five Elements Sect. Especially now that Su Mu has joined the Five Elements Sect, it will probably affect even more people's choice!" The crowd discussed animatedly.
At this moment, Elder Cang Shan of the Yuqing Daoism, Elder Qing Xuan of the Taiqiong Dao Sect, and the elders and people in charge of the other sects also rushed over after hearing the news.
Ye Qiu and Ji Qinglan also curiously gathered around.
