Lin Mansion

  Lin Xuan received the news and immediately rushed to Lin Chenyus residence, somewhat anxiously saying: "Brother, Zhang Ruochen has already left the palace and is heading to Wu City Academy, why havent you made a move yet?"

  Lin Chenyu smiled faintly and said, "Whats the hurry?"

  "If he reaches Wucheng Academy, there will be no chance to kill him." Lin Xuans eyes were filled with a cold air, and her hatred for Zhang Ruochen was extremely deep.

  Lin Chenyu sat on the chair, his hands clasped together, cultivating a wicked technique, emitting an icy aura from all over his body. He closed his eyes and said faintly, "Zhen Xiang, even if you dont trust me, you should at least trust the Gate of Hell. Dont worry, he wont be able to reach Wumeng Academy, or else hell be killed."

  "The Gate of the Underworld is the largest killer organization in Wuguo, and its said that theyve even killed warriors at the Tianji boundary." Lin Xianshuangs eyes lit up. If Zhang Ruochen had really moved the killers from the Gate of the Underworld, then he was definitely doomed to die.

  Lin Chenyu smiled and said, "The Gate of the Earth is not only the largest killer organization in Yunwu County, but also one of the top in the entire nine counties of Lingxi. This time, the two killers sent by the Gate of the Earth have both assassinated at least one small extreme martial artist in the Mystic Extreme realm. If they were to attack together, even if Zhang Ruochens cultivation had reached the Mystic Extreme realm, he would still be dead for sure."

  "I bet we wont even have to wait until noon before we receive the good news of the Ninth Princes assassination. At that time, Her Majesty the Queen will definitely reward me handsomely. Haha"

  Lin Chenyus eyes opened, and his pupils were actually blood red, giving people a sense of abnormal ferocity.

  Lin Xians face also showed a smile, saying: "Since it is the underworld gate sent out to kill, naturally there is no mistake."

  Apart from Zhang Ruochen and Wang Cheng, there were some other warriors who would also go to the Wugui Academy to participate in this years academy examination.

  If I can get into the Wushu Academy, it would be like a carp jumping over the dragon gate, stepping into heaven, and getting unlimited training resources. Just thinking about it makes me feel very excited.

  These warriors were all very young, under the age of thirty, yet their cultivation had reached the Mystic Extreme Realm. Each and every one of them was not a weakling. At this moment, they were all gathered at the Martial City Arena, quietly waiting.

  When Zhang Ruochen arrived, more than 30 young warriors had already gathered in the Wumeng Arena, including both male and female warriors.

  "Everyone look, the Ninth Prince has actually arrived too!"

  "Its really the Ninth Prince, it is said that he just obtained the first place on the Yellow List not long ago, could it be that he has already broken through to the Profound Extreme Realm?"

  "Since youve arrived at the Wumeng Arena, you must have reached the Xuanji Realm. Its truly unbelievable, his cultivation speed is too fast, hes indeed a martial arts prodigy." A woman in her twenties with purple hair, holding a jade flute, stared at Zhang Ruochen who walked down from the carriage, a hint of strange light flashing in her eyes.

  Across from the purple willow woman, a thin man locked eyes with her. The two nodded slightly and simultaneously looked towards Zhang Ruochen not far away, exuding a faint killing intent.

  They were two assassins sent by the Netherworld Sect, young and talented, both of whom had reached the Profound Extreme Realm, and could be called geniuses.

  Zi Shu girl, named Zi Qian, was extremely beautiful and had a certain reputation in the imperial city. However, no one knew that she was an assassin from the underworld gate.

  A gaunt man named Chen Libing looked somewhat sickly and appeared to be only about twenty-five years old.

  Before reaching Xuanji Realm, he won ten consecutive games in the Yellow Rank Martial Palace and his highest ranking on the Yellow List was 18th.

  It was precisely because of his outstanding performance in the Yellow Grade Martial Arts Hall that he was recruited by the Wu City Qianzhuang and became a Guardian Captain, under the cultivation of a large amount of resources, his cultivation advanced rapidly, reaching the late stage of Xuanji Realm.

  Those who can become Huangbang Wu Zhe, reaching the Xuanji boundary, are absolutely top-notch strongmen in the same realm, and can even cross boundaries to kill people.

  Zi Yan and Chen Libing were at the Gate of Hell, belonging to the Genius Assassins. This time, their main task was to infiltrate the Wu City Academy, in order to facilitate the completion of future assassination tasks within the Wu City Academy.

  Assassinate the Ninth Prince, for them, it was just an additional task arranged above.

  If the assassination is successful, a generous reward will naturally be obtained.

  To assassinate the nine princes without exposing their own identities was also a considerable challenge for them.

  Liu Chengfeng immediately went forward to welcome him, cupped his hands and bowed, smiling: "Your Highness, the Ninth Prince, Liu certain apologizes for past matters."

  Zhang Ruochen saw Liu Chengfengs humble appearance and was slightly surprised, saying: "Brother Liu, whats this?"

  Liu Chengfeng laughed and said, "Ever since I lost to the Ninth Prince twice in the Huang-level martial arts arena, I have been reflecting on my mistakes and decided to change my ways and start anew. Who would have thought that it would be so effective? My cultivation broke through to the Xuanji realm immediately."

  Zhang Ruochen gazed carefully at Liu Chengfengs eyes and smiled: "Congratulations, Brother Liu."

  "If it werent for the encouragement of the Ninth Prince, Im afraid I wouldnt have broken through to the Mystic Extreme Realm so quickly." Liu Chengfeng said with a smile.

  The master of Wushi Qianzhuang, Liu Chuanshen, and several other big shots of Wushi Qianzhuang walked into the Wushi Arena together, instantly attracting the attention of all the martial artists.

  Liu Chuan Shen walked up to Zhang Ruochen with a smile and said, "Your Highness, the Ninth Prince, the host of this manor and the Duke were once sworn brothers in their youth. I hope you can put aside your past grievances with Cheng Feng for the sake of our hosts face. If you both pass the exam and enter Wu City Academy, be sure to take care of each other and support one another."

  Then, Liu Chuanshens gaze fiercely stared at Liu Chengfeng and said: "Chengfeng, you are too impulsive in your actions, not calm enough when things happen. I want you to learn from the Ninth Prince from now on and take him as your role model."

  Liu Chuan was so astute that he naturally saw Zhang Ruochens extraordinary talent, and his own son couldnt compare to him. If his own son could interact with Zhang Ruochen more, there would be boundless benefits in the future.

  Liu Chengfeng said: "No need for Father to instruct me, I will definitely learn more from the Ninth Prince."

  If Liu Chengfeng really changed his ways and decided to start anew, Zhang Ruochen would naturally also be able to put aside past grievances and not pursue the matter further.

  Liu Chengfeng is indeed a genius, reaching the Great Perfection of Huangji at the age of 17 and later becoming a top martial artist on the Huang List. At 20 years old, he broke through to the Xuanji realm.

  Such a genius can hardly be found in the entire Yunwu County.

  Because Liu Chuanshen stood beside Zhang Ruochen, Zi Qian and Chen Libing didnt have a chance to make a move.

  By noon, sixty-eight young martial artists of the Profound Extreme Realm had gathered at the Wu Dou Palace. Throughout the entire Cloud Martial Country, all the martial artists who were going to the Wu Shi Academy had arrived.

  "Wow"

  A deafening eagle cry echoed from the sky, resounding throughout nearly half of the imperial city.

  A gigantic blood-feathered eagle flew out of the clouds, its wings spread wide, over seventy meters long, just like a small crimson mountain flying down from the sky.

  A massive aura emanated from the Blood Feather Eagle, exerting immense pressure on the Xuanji cultivators standing below. Some of the weaker cultivators felt their legs turn soft and their bodies break out in cold sweat.

  "The Blood Feather Eagle is a third-tier superior savage beast, its combat power is comparable to that of a martial artist who has reached the Earth Extreme Realms Great Perfection. If were talking about destructive power, the Blood Feather Eagles destructive power is even more terrifying than that of a martial artist who has reached the Earth Extreme Realms Great Perfection." A young martial artist at the Mystic Extreme Realm said with some trembling.

  Another young female warrior said, "I once saw a Blood Feather Eagle on the outskirts of Tianmo Ridge. That Blood Feather Eagle simply spat out a mouthful of flames and turned a small town into scorched earth, burning everyone to death."

  Hearing the murmurs of the crowd, those aristocratic sons who had never left the imperial city were all frightened by the blood-feathered eagle in front of them, their faces pale.

  Zhang Ruochen remained calm and composed, looking up towards the top of his head, where he saw a middle-aged man in silver robes standing on the head of the Blood Feather Eagle.

  The man in silver robes stood upright, with an ancient sword on his back. The aura around him seemed to be even stronger than that of the Blood Feather Eagle.

  Liu Chuan Shen had his hands behind his back and smiled: "Thank you, Elder Chang, its been a long time."

  A man in silver robes stood on the head of a Blood Feather Eagle, saying: "Liu Changlao, this year only a few dozen people from Yunwu County participated in the Imperial Academy examination. I remember that last year, there were 103 Xuanji Realm warriors from Yunwu County who took part in the Imperial Academy examination, but only three people passed the exam and became outer palace disciples of the Imperial Academy."

  Liu Chuan Shen is the owner of Yunwu Countys Guo Wu City Qianzhuang, but within Guo Wu City Qianzhuang, he and the Silver Robed Man are both elders.

  Liu Chuan smiled and said: "Dont worry, Elder Xie. The number of people who will pass the exam to enter Wu City Academy this year will definitely be more than last year, and there may even be some unexpected surprises."

  "Oh"

  Upon hearing Liu Chuanshens words, Xie Nantians heart skipped a beat and he said: "Could it be that Yunwu County has given birth to an absolute genius who can rank in the top ten of the Imperial Academy exams?"

  Liu Chuan smiled mysteriously and said, "Youll know when the time comes."

  Xie Nantian knew that Liu Chuanshen was a person who did things with precision, and Yunwu County must have given birth to an extraordinary talent. He had to find out that talented person and take him as his disciple in advance.

  Xie Nan Tians gaze was fixed on the sixty-eight Wu Zong realm warriors below, and it just so happened to land on Zi Cangs body, a soft hum escaping his lips.

  Zi Yan was only around twenty-two years old, yet she had already reached the Xuanji Boundarys Minor Extreme Realm. Even in the Outer Palace of Wushang Academy, she would be considered a genius.

  "It seems that Liu Chuans divine finger was pointing at her."

  Xie Nan Tians eyes revealed a hint of a smile, and he nodded lightly, saying: "Since everyone is here, lets all get on the back of the Blood Feathered Eagle. Well head to Wu Shi Academy now."

  Sixty-eight martial artists at the Xuanji boundary, one after another, displayed their body techniques and jumped onto the back of the Blood Feather Eagle, each finding a position to sit down.

  Zhang Ruochen and Liu Chengfeng sat side by side, when suddenly they caught a whiff of faint fragrance.

  Zhang Ruochen turned around and looked to his left, only to see a woman in purple clothes sitting beside him. She was extremely beautiful, with a perfect figure, especially her breasts which were particularly high and round, as if they would burst through the purple clothes at any moment.

  Zhang Ruochen just glanced at her and then withdrew his gaze.

  "Wow"

  As everyone sat on the back of the Blood Feather Eagle, the Blood Feather Eagle soared into the sky and flew out of the royal city in an instant, heading towards the direction of Tianmo Ridge.
