Chapter 70: Inferior County States

  The Blood Feathered Eagle is not only enormous in size, but also extremely fast, said to be able to fly 18,000 miles in a day. Many top martial artists dream of taming one as their mount.

  It was just half a time ago, and it flew out of the kings city, into the endless wilderness.

  Sitting on the back of the Blood Feathered Eagle, Liu Chengfeng gave a slight nod towards Zhang Ruochen.

  Zhang Ruochen looked puzzled and asked: "Liu brother, what do you mean?"

  Liu Chengfengs gaze was fixed on the purple-robed woman sitting next to Zhang Ruochen, and he said in a low voice: "Ninth Prince, dont tell me you dont even recognize her?"

  Zhang Ruochen looked at the woman in purple again and shook his head, saying: "I dont know her."

  Liu Chengfeng was originally elegant and refined, but when he smiled, he looked somewhat lewd. He grinned and said: "Her name is Zi Qian, shes very famous in Wang City, not only young and beautiful, but also has a high talent for cultivation. Its said that her cultivation has already reached the Small Extreme Realm of the Mystic Extreme Boundary, if there are no accidents, she will definitely become an Earth Extreme Realm expert in the future."

  He continued, "In the imperial city, countless high-ranking officials and nobles, princes and young masters wanted to marry her, but unfortunately, they all failed, not one of them could win her heart. Its said that even your older brother, Third Prince, had pursued her before, but was politely rejected. Haha, unexpectedly, shell be going with us to the Wushu Academy in the capital for the exams, who knows, maybe well end up being classmates. Indeed, those near the water tower get the moon first, Ninth Prince, if you dont go, I will."

  Although Liu Chengfengs voice was very low, Zi Qian was sitting next to Zhang Ruochen and was a young and powerful person in the Xuanji boundary of the small extreme position, so she naturally heard every word of Liu Chengfeng.

  Even Zhang Ruochen felt a bit awkward, but Liu Chengfeng smiled and nodded slightly at Zi Cui, starting to chat her up. "Miss Zi, I am Liu Chengfeng, the son of the owner of Wu Citys Qianzhuang Bank. I have long admired your name, and today I see that you are indeed as beautiful as a fairy descending from heaven, not comparable to ordinary women."

  Zi Yan was indeed very beautiful, with eyebrows like willow leaves, long and curved eyelashes, sparkling eyes like water, red and moist lips like cherries, and skin as white as condensed fat.

  Jiugun Zhu and Lin Xianxian were also extremely beautiful, but they were still too young after all, and could only be considered as teenage girls. Zi Qian was different, her figure was even more perfect than Jiugun Zhu and Lin Xianxian, every curve on her body was concave and convex in the right places.

  Zi Yan looked at Liu Chengfeng and said, "The son of the owner of Wu Shi Money House, your father is only a branch owner of Yunwu County in Wu Shi Money House. In the internal affairs of Wu Shi Money House, he can only be considered an elder."

  Liu Chengfeng didnt show any embarrassment and continued: "Zi Gongnang seems to have some prejudice against me."

  Zi Yan said: "Weve met before, but we cant talk about it. I just heard that Master Lius character isnt very good, so I dont want to be friends with you."

  She spoke bluntly, and the young warriors around her burst out laughing, thinking that Liu Chengfeng was simply asking for trouble.

  To know, the pursuers who were rejected by Zǐ Qiàn, there are not a thousand, but also eight hundred, among them, several of their identities and talents are no lower than Liú Chéng Fēng. He actually dares to go and flirt with Zǐ Qiàn, even if he is humiliated, it serves him right.

  Liu Chengfengs smile finally couldnt hold on, and he said in a low voice: "This young master, what kind of identity do you have? You actually dare to humiliate me like this. Believe it or not, once we arrive at the Wushu Academy, Ill make you kneel down and beg for mercy. This young master has someone in the Wushu Academy who will deal with you, as easy as turning over ones hand."

  Cough cough

  Zhang Ruochen coughed twice and said, "Brother Liu, arent you supposed to turn over a new leaf and become a new person?"

  Liu Chengfeng said, "Ninth Prince, you dont know, shes really too much. With my identity, she actually said I have a bad character and doesnt want to be friends with me. Isnt this slapping my face?"

  Zhang Ruochen said, "If you really want to change and start anew, you must first learn to be calm and not rush into things. You should always look for the reason within yourself. If your behavior was indeed proper in the past, Zi Gu Niang would naturally be willing to associate with you."

  "But forget it, a good man doesnt fight with a woman. Ninth Prince, youre right." Liu Chengfeng gritted his teeth and swallowed hard, then sat back down and slightly bowed to Zi Yan, saying: "Miss Zi, I was wrong earlier, its all my fault, Liu Chengfengs fault."

  Zi Yan looked at Zhang Ruochen with a faint glance and nodded, saying: "From now on, you should learn more from the Ninth Prince, it will definitely not be wrong."

  "Thats it, thats it." Liu Chengfeng said in a row.

  Another killer, Chen Libing, sitting in the position behind Zhang Ruochen, looked very calm and said: "Since Master Liu is the son of the branch master of Wushi Money House, he must know more about the examination of Wushi Academy than us. I wonder if Master Liu can tell us something?"

  Liu Chengfeng suddenly burst out laughing, looking rather self-satisfied. "My understanding of the Wushang Academy is definitely far greater than yours," he said. "To be honest, before I reached the Xuanji realm, I had already gone to the Wushang Academy seven times to cultivate, and each time I gained a lot."

  "Last year, in the Cloud Martial County, a total of 103 young martial artists participated in the examination of the Wuxue Academy. During the examination, 28 people died, and 37 martial artists were seriously injured or disabled. In the end, only three people passed the examination and became outer academy students of the Wuxue Academy."

  When they heard Liu Chengfengs words, almost all the young warriors gasped in shock. They had long heard that the examination of Wushang Academy was cruel, but they did not expect the mortality rate to be so high.

  Liu Chengfeng saw the terrified look on everyones faces and felt quite pleased, continuing to speak: "After all, Yunwu County is only a lower-ranking county, with a population base of only 800 million. Every time they go to participate in the Wushicheng Academy examination, there are at most around 100 people."

  "But have you heard of the Four Sides County? The Four Sides County is a medium-sized county with a population of over 300 million. Every year, hundreds of young warriors from the Four Sides County go to take the examination of the Martial City Academy. Last year, thirty-six people from the Four Sides County became outer disciples of the Martial City Academy."

  Yunwu County only had three people pass the exam, while Fangfang County had thirty-six, the gap was too big.

  A warrior of twenty-seven or eight years old sighed, "The four-sided county is the only medium-sized county in the nine counties of Lingxi, with the strongest national strength and a territory equivalent to five Yunwu counties."

  "All the countries bordering on the Four Nations are most unfortunate and are constantly oppressed by them."

  "Two years ago, the Four Sides State wanted to take away our Yunwu States mine in Tianmo Ridge. Naturally, the King of Yunwu State was not willing to hand it over to the Four Sides State. So the two states went to war on the Ink River, with the Four Sides State deploying an army five times larger than ours, numbering 400,000 troops. In that battle, we Yunwu State suffered a crushing defeat, and even the mine was taken away."

  "Its said that in the war two years ago, the Four Sides County killed three million soldiers of our Yunwu County, seized seven cities, and took away millions of poor civilians as slaves. Those people, some were sold to brothels and became lowly prostitutes. Some were sold to mines, digging underground day and night without seeing the sun. And there are those who lived worse than pigs and dogs, at the mercy of the Four Sides Countys bullying. Alas, how hateful!"

  Liu Chengfeng glanced at Zhang Ruochen sitting beside him and said, "If we dont fight, and let the four surrounding states take away that mine, wont we be even more bullied by them in the future?"

  Everyone sighed, who let the four-sided counties and states be mediocre, and the Cloud Martial counties and states were not even opponents of the four-sided counties and states.

  Two years ago in that battle, even Yunwu County King was severely injured and almost fell.

  According to the population base, territory area and number of strongmen in each county-state, the county-states were divided into three levels: lower-level county-states, middle-level county-states, and upper-level county-states.

  Generally speaking, the population of lower-ranking prefectures is less than 100 million.

  The population of a medium-sized country is generally between 100 million and 500 million.

  The population of first-class prefectures and provinces is almost all over 50 million.

  Of course, measuring the strength of a country cannot only look at population and territory, but also look at the number of strong people in that country. The more martial arts masters there are, the stronger the national power will naturally be.

  For example, a small country with only tens of millions of people can also become a medium-sized country if it has enough warriors who have reached the Earthly and Heavenly Extremes.

  Liu Chengfeng said: "It is said that this year, more than 600 people from the four-party county will go to participate in the Wu Shi Xue Gong examination. Moreover, the team leader is the Huo Xing prince of the four-party county. The four-party county has always wanted to annex Yunwu County, and it is estimated that this time, the four-party county will again suppress our Yunwu Countys martial artists during the Xue Gong examination."

  "Last years Wu Prefecture Academy examination, the reason why so many young warriors from our Yunwu Commandery died was because the examinees from the four neighboring commanderies sabotaged them."

  A young martial artist said: "No wonder only three people from our Yunwu County passed the Wu City Academy exam last year, they must have been intentionally suppressing us in the four-party county."

  It is said that the Prince of Huo Xing from the Four Kingdoms was also a martial arts prodigy, reaching the realm of Xuanji at just seventeen years old. Moreover, he was also a beast tamer and had subdued many powerful war beasts.

  Everyone is talking about Prince Hoshin of Shikoku Province, and some people are worried about this years Musashi Academy exam.

  After all, the number of examinees from the four-party counties is ten times that of Yunwu County. If they deliberately want to suppress Yunwu County, the mortality rate of Yunwu Countys warriors this year will probably be even higher.

  At this time, Zi Cai, who was sitting next to Zhang Ruochen, took out a fine cow hair needle from the tip of her hair without leaving any trace and clamped it between two jade fingers.

  Her slender body slowly leaned towards Zhang Ruochen beside her.

  There were sixty-eight young warriors on the back of Xue Yu Eagle, even if Zhang Ruochen died under the severe poison of the poisonous bee needle, no one would suspect her.

  Shes going to take action now
