Dragon Martial Emperor
chapter-33

The identity of Royal princess was enough to generate fear in anyone’s heart.

When the intermittent hoof beats resounded, Feng Yao quickly persuaded Liu Mingxuan: “Cousin, Royal princess is coming, it is better that you temporarily don’t fight.”

Then, she looked at Long Yu, in her eyes flashed a light of indifference: “As for this waste, you will get plenty of opportunities to teach him a lesson.”

To be honest, Feng Yao was extremely shocked to see that Long Yu was able to withstand two powerful cold dragon moves of Liu Mingxuan.

However, the impression of Long Yu as a waste was so deep rooted in her mind that she was unable to accept that this strength shown by Long Yu was his actually his own.

There was also a possibility that Long Yu had a strong defense type battle weapon and it was not his own defensive strength.

Now, Royal princess had arrived, and everybody felt that it was not appropriate for them to continue the fighting, so they suddenly stopped.

“Hmph, count yourself as lucky, waste.”

Liu Mingxuan said while staring fiercely at Long Yu: “In Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest, if you try and bump into me then I will kill you.”

“Well, looking at your strength, you don’t have enough skill to kill me.”

Long Yu mockingly looked at him then turned back and walked towards Ling Han’s side.

He was not afraid of Liu Mingxuan, but he thought that it would not be appropriate to continue the fight.

Now, Royal princess had arrived, so it was not proper to continue fighting in her presence .This was one of the two reasons that Long Yu also wanted to stop fighting. The other reason was that if he really wanted to beat Liu Mingxuan, then he would have to use the power of blizzard boots in front of everyone.

As a result of that, all of his cards would be exposed to others and it would be quite disadvantageous, keeping in mind the tomorrow’s trip to Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest .

So, he contented his heart to wait for an opportunity to deal with Liu Mingxuan alone in the Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest.

“Brother Long Yu, congratulations.”

Ling Han saw that not far away from their group, dressed in shining metal armors, riding on horses, a group of warriors was coming towards them.

Finally, he would be able to resolve the immediate situation, because Ling Han felt that if Long Yu and Liu Mingxuan had continued to fight, Long Yu would have definitely lost.

No doubt, Long Yu resisted the two moves of the martial skill of Liu Mingxuan and that too from a top grade martial skill like cold dragon destroyer, and thus, he had proved his strength.

If the fight had continued, perhaps, Long Yu might be able to resist.

“Thank you Brother Ling Han.”

Long Yu smiled but did not say anything, and immediately focused on the far end of the street and saw a group of warriors clad in shining metal armors were advancing towards them.

There were six disciples of Zhentian Sect and four disciples of Hanbing Sect, all standing separately in two groups on the street, and staring at the arriving group of people.

In a while, the group of warriors approached so near to them that now everyone could clearly see their appearance.

Front and rear, both rows had each ten fierce horses lined up parallel to each other. There were a total of twenty shining armor warriors, and there was a beautiful girl in the center, protected by these warriors.

Everyone saw the beautiful girl, dressed in elegant white silk gown, was riding a white horse, wearing a beautiful corolla, and there hung a gentle smile on her face which was simply flawless and serene.

“So this is the Royal princess?”

Long Yu watched, but didn’t pay attention to her, instead his eyes moved towards the person standing next to her.

The man seemed to be the strongest among the twenty warriors clad in shining metal armors, and was evidently their leader. He seemed to be in his early twenties, clad in an elegant metal armor, a golden helmet, and there was a spear in his hand. He possessed a very high cultivation level and was much stronger than Feng Yun!

“Perhaps, even the strongest core disciple of Zhentian Sect can’t be the opponent of this metal armored youth……”

Long Yu thought in his mind, but he was not much concerned about the strength of this metal armored youth, but about his appearance.

Whether it was his eyes, nose or mouth, this metal armored youth had one third resemblance with Long Yu!

Upon seeing him, Long Yu quietly stepped back and hid himself behind Ling Han.

“Perhaps my early life experience is somewhat related to this metal armored youth…………”

Long Yu’s eyes flashed as he thought: “For these years, the foster father has not said anything to me about my early life, obviously, due to some scruples. Maybe, he wants to evade the point temporarily until I enhance my strength to a considerable extent!”

Shortly after temporarily bearing patiently, in the future when he would get stronger, he would start searching for the answers, although he possessed ‘Nine hidden dragons mark’, but he could not be too negligent.

The Royal clan was extremely formidable and very influential, and let alone Long Yu, even the entire Zhentian sect could not dare to offend them.

Soon, the group of 20 metal armored warriors, along with the Royal princess protected in the center, arrived near the two groups of disciples, and as they held on the reins, the fierce horses stopped temporarily.

“Disciples of Zhentian Sect and Hanbing Sect.’’

Beautiful Royal princess said with a smile on her face: “Gentlemen, it seems everyone has good cultivation, you all are young talents of my Tang State, in tomorrow’s Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest competition, I hope everyone to have good harvest.”

“Thank you, Princess.”

Liu Mingxuan immediately said with a smile on his face: “I am Liu Mingxuan from the Liu clan of Imperial city, I feel honored to see you here, princess.”

“So, you are from Liu clan.”

Royal princess said with a polite smile: “Liu clan has its roots in the Imperial city for generations, one of best known clans for its trade. I believe that father emperor is happy with your clan.”

“Princess is very polite.”

Liu Mingxuan immediately felt self-satisfied, having a noble birth was different and getting praised by the Royal princess was an entirely different experience for him!

Little did they know that on the side, when Long Yu heard it, a feeling of contempt appeared in his heart: “It turns out that Liu clan is just a clan of traders in the Imperial city, but it also has strong presence in military power……”

No wonder this Liu Mingxuan was only at Wudao seventh layer, he didn’t belong to a powerful clan, because in powerful clans, even the children possessed stronger cultivation than him.

“Princess, let’s go, it seems that this time, the disciples of Hanbing Sect and Zhentian Sect are not much, even the disciples of Qiansi Sect possess little strength.”

At this time, the youth, who had one third resemblances with Long Yu, said to princess with a smile on his face, although, he said it casually, but there was an obvious pride on his face. It was obvious that he looked down on the disciples of the three large sects!

“Well they temporarily lack resources and once they will enter the Royal Ancient Ginseng forest, they will grow stronger and become strong pillars of our Tang State.”

Royal princess actually smiled gently and said: “Well, I will go first, you all should go back and take rest, tomorrow everyone should enter the Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest early in the morning, I wish everyone good luck in advance.”

“Thank you, Princess.”

The crowd answered in unison, and then the group watched the princess leaving with her escorts.

“Hmph, he was really arrogant.”

At that time, Ling Mingxuan was not feeling well in his heart after hearing the words of the youth in metal armor.

“Well, no doubt, he is a bodyguard of the Royal princess, but his cultivation is so high that makes us unable to guess it completely, what he said is quite natural and he has the qualification to do so as well.”

Feng Yao narrowed her eyes and said, and as she finished saying these words, she turned to leave.

Tomorrow was the day to enter Royal Ancient Ginseng forest and her opponent was going to be the beautiful girl of Qiansi Sect, the so-called princess of Qiansi Sect!

As far as a waste like Long Yu was concerned, she was disinclined to pay any attention to him, because in her eyes, Long Yu was not at all on the same level as her.

“Brother Ling Han, shall we go back?”

One of the disciples of Zhentian Sect asked.

Ling Han, at this time, was looking in the direction of the princess slowly disappearing from his sight, as if he was still not satisfied and wanted to watch more!

Ling Han heard someone calling him and suddenly regained his composure: “Oh what, we should go back?

“Haha, Brother Ling Han, could it be you have fallen for the princess?”

Immediately someone teased him.

“Don’t talk nonsense, it’s just that princess is so beautiful, can’t I even have a good look at her?”

Ling Han laughed.

“Right, that metal armored youth, who just spoke, looks a bit like one of our disciples, did Brother Ling Han notice?”

One of them asked aloud while his eyes were aiming at Long Yu.

“Ah, looks like whom?’’

Ling Han simply hadn’t noticed that metal armored youth, so he was surprised at the moment.

“He is hiding behind you, Brother Long Yu.”

The man sneered: “I once heard that Brother Long Yu actually belongs to a certain aristocratic clan from Imperial city, but was exiled from the clan, I originally thought that it was just a rumor, but now it seems like there is a possibility, Brother Long Yu, is that right?”

“My bad, I do not know my own life experience, if you really know so well, take the trouble to tell me about it?

Long Yu chuckled loudly and simply ignored him!

The discourse of the man stopped, he was suddenly speechless!

“Well, let’s stop this idle talk and rush back?”

Ling Han interposed hastily and said with a smile: “Well, be prepared to enter the Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest tomorrow, perhaps will be a great opportunity for all of us. If you can obtain a top grade ancient ginseng, you can promote a layer directly!”

As he said these words, the hearts of the four disciples of Zhentian Sect began to burn up with excitement.

However, unless there was a huge burst of good luck, it was not so easy to get a top grade ancient ginseng. Nevertheless, if they could get some low grade ancient ginsengs, then that would be good as well!

Different people harboring different thoughts returned to their respective rooms in the inn to take rest.

This evening, almost all suffered from varying degrees of insomnia, because an important event was approaching their lives, and they were going to get the first important opportunity to enter Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest, and if they were lucky enough to get ancient ginsengs, then they could enhance their strengths.

Only Long Yu, who was equipped with a strong psychological quality, slept like a dead pig!

……

Night time quickly passed.

Next morning, everybody gathered in the inn courtyard, besides Long Yu, everyone was more or less mentally exhausted, even Tan Jian was not an exception.

However, there was a look of excitement in everyone’s eyes, obviously, they had waited for a long time to enter the Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest!

Elder Yu, dressed in black robes, appeared in front of the group.

“Come with me, today you must enter the Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest, you must remember that your life is on the line, so give your best!”

Elder Yu reminded them one last time then led the group to leave the inn and went towards the rear side of the Royal Ancient Ginseng City.

Before long, the crowd arrived in front of the rear gate of the Royal Ancient Ginseng City, and just out of the rear gate, the royal clan’s back garden was stretched far and wide, it was the Royal Ancient Ginseng forest!

At the city gate, a total of 53 disciples of Hanbing Sect, Qiansi Sect and Zhentian Sect had gathered, led by their respective elders, and were divided into three groups.

The royal princess and those metal armor warriors stood on the front. Without the permission of a member of the royal clan, the gate leading to Royal Ancient Ginseng forest would absolutely not open.

When all of the participants had assembled, then the metal armored youth came forward, with a look of arrogance in his eyes, and swept his eyes over all of the participants.

“Now, you will enter the Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest, there is only one rule, and that is, if the best quality ginseng appears, in any event, it is the property of the royal clan, understood?”

The youth gave a stern warning.

“Understood!”

Everyone said in unison, at present, they were excited because they were about to enter the Royal Ancient Ginseng forest, where several opportunities were waiting for them!

As for the best quality ancient ginseng, it was not easy for one to appear.

It was a rare treasure and extremely hard to find one even in a decade, so nobody was expecting to find a best quality ancient ginseng this time!
