"I understand!"
Zhou Li sighed helplessly, then a look of determination appeared on her face. "Father, I want to go to the Baiyun Sect! I want to become a disciple of the Baiyun Sect!"
"Ah? What is this all about?"
"By joining the Baiyun Sect, I'll have the opportunity to get closer to Ling Feng and pursue him more easily!"
"Xiao Qi, are you serious?"
King Zhou was a bit surprised.
He had thought that Zhou Li was just being impulsive, but it seemed she was genuinely determined to go to the Baiyun Sect to chase after someone.
"I've never been this serious in my life!"
"Well… fine."
King Zhou didn't stop her.
After all, if Xiao Qi could become a disciple of the Baiyun Sect, it would indirectly bring her closer to Ling Feng, which would be beneficial for the royal family.
Days passed.
Aside from Ling Feng, the other martial artists representing the Great Zhou at the Seven Dynasties Conference also arrived one after another, except for the Lord of Hidden Sword Villa and the Wine Saint.
Two others were the Heartless Blade Saint and the Unrivaled Fist, Li Xinshi!
What surprised everyone was that the Heartless Blade Saint was a woman, dressed in red, emanating a chilling aura.
She resembled an ancient ice mountain, unmelted through the ages!
"The Heartless Blade Saint is a martial artist who recently broke into the Saint realm. She practices the Heartless Blade, which is exceedingly fierce."
"Li Xinshi, sixty years ago, wielded his fists with unparalleled might across the Jianghu, and almost no one could rival him! Later, he withdrew from the Jianghu, and his cultivation has become even more profound, rivaling mine."
The Heavenly Sword Saint introduced the two to Ling Feng.
Both were curious about this rising star, especially the Heartless Blade Saint, who felt her Heartless Blade intent was being challenged like never before!
My goodness…
With this temperament and looks, it's hard not to feel a stirring in the heart!
No, I can't lose my composure!
The Heartless Blade Saint looked at Ling Feng as if he were a monstrous threat, stepping back two paces to stabilize her emotions by activating her blade intent.
Ling Feng blinked. Why did she seem a bit afraid of me?
Though confused, he still politely greeted the two.
"Junior, don't bother with pleasantries. To be honest, I can trust the other few, but I don't trust you! How much strength can someone so young possess? Unless I see it with my own eyes, I can't risk the Great Zhou's territory on you."
Li Xinshi said, his fists tightening, releasing a chilling fist intent that spread out from his body. "So, let's have a match!"
Ling Feng smiled slightly, realizing he needed to demonstrate his skills to win their respect. "Then please, senior, give me your guidance!"
"Come on!"
Without saying another word, Li Xinshi launched a punch towards Ling Feng's head.
This punch was fierce and domineering, as if a mountain were crashing down.
Ling Feng stood still, and with a thought, activated his Martial Saint Body. Golden true energy enveloped him, forming a protective wall of true energy.
Boom!!
The punch hit Ling Feng, producing a thunderous roar!
The ground around them sank directly downwards.
Li Xinshi's fist felt slightly numb.
In contrast, Ling Feng remained standing as steady as a mountain, not moving an inch!
"What a guy, his cultivation is even more profound now!"
The Lord of Hidden Sword Villa, Feng Zhengyang, had a grave expression.
Meanwhile, the Wine Saint was already dumbfounded. "What the hell!! He blocked Li Xinshi's punch with his protective true energy? Is he that abnormal?"
He knew Ling Feng was strong, but he hadn't expected him to be this powerful.
Li Xinshi's expression also changed. "The Martial Saint Body?! He truly is extraordinary! Well then, take my next move!!"
"Unrivaled Fist, Overturn the Rivers and Seas!"
Li Xinshi shouted, his fingers clenched, and his fist intent surged forth like a roaring sea, causing the air to resound with the sound of a tsunami.
This punch was several times more terrifying than the previous one!
Ling Feng took this one a bit more seriously.
He raised his hand, similarly clenched his fist, and struck out.
Bang!!
In that instant, blood and energy surged, and a hundred beasts roared into existence in the void!
This punch stirred the winds and clouds!
This punch was utterly domineering!
It was the Chaotic World Overlord Fist!
As their fists collided, a figure was sent flying, like a cannonball, crashing through several palace walls, while Ling Feng remained rooted in place.
He looked at the ruins not far away, somewhat bewildered.
"It seems I might have overdone it a bit." He turned to King Zhou beside him and said, "Your Majesty, I wonder how much I'll have to compensate?"
King Zhou snapped out of his shock and hurriedly said, "Young Master Ling, you jest! You can represent the Great Zhou at the Seven Dynasties Conference; how could we ask you to compensate?"
"Wow! So domineering, so majestic, so handsome!"
Not far away, Princess Zhou Li held her face in her hands, gazing at Ling Feng with sparkling eyes.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations to the host for sending the Martial Saint flying with one punch, earning the respect of the opponent and winning the princess's heart, rewarding the host with an Poison Immunity physique!]
---
The invulnerability physique is indeed a good thing.
Ling Feng was quite satisfied.
But when he glanced at Princess Zhou Li, who was gazing at him with starry eyes, he smiled helplessly. "Really, we've only just met; is it necessary to react this way?"
Seeing his smile, Zhou Li's face turned slightly red, and she hurriedly told her maid beside her, "Did you see that? He smiled at me!!"
"He must have feelings for me!"
Boom!
At that moment, the ruins exploded, and Li Xinshi walked out with a hearty laugh.
"Hahaha, great, great!"
He looked at Ling Feng, and instead of showing any anger, his face was filled with excitement. "The Great Zhou has produced such a genius as you; this is wonderful! In this Seven Dynasties Conference, our Great Zhou will surely avenge our past humiliation!!"
"Senior, I apologize for any offense."
"It's nothing, it's nothing. If you could have killed me with one punch just now, I might have been even happier," Li Xinshi laughed heartily.
If Ling Feng possessed the strength to kill a Martial Saint with a single punch, then the chances of the Great Zhou succeeding in this Seven Dynasties Conference would increase significantly.
They certainly wouldn't end up at the bottom like last time.
"Alright, everyone is here; let's set off."
The Heavenly Sword Saint smiled.
"Everyone, the fate of the Great Zhou is entrusted to you!" King Zhou said solemnly, bowing to the group.
Behind him, all the civil and military officials also bowed in respect.
"Thank you for your assistance!"
The Heavenly Sword Saint nodded slightly.
Then, with a leap into the sky, he raised his arm and shouted, "Great Zhou, victory is ours!"
"Great Zhou, victory is ours!"
"Great Zhou, victory is ours!"
As everyone watched, the group transformed into streams of light and departed.
In the high sky.
The group traveled through the air.
Ling Feng, however, was doing his best to control his speed.
Otherwise, these few would definitely struggle to keep up.
On the way, he curiously asked, "Do you know who the martial artists representing the other dynasties will be at this Seven Dynasties Conference?"
The Heavenly Sword Saint shook his head. "That's a state secret; it's not easy to uncover. However, based on the martial artists who participated last time, we can infer that the representatives of each dynasty will all be Martial Saints at the very least!"
"And our greatest opponent is the Great Chu!"
Mentioning the Great Chu, a hint of coldness appeared in the eyes of the Heavenly Sword Saint and the others.
"Is the Great Chu the strongest?"
"No, no, among the seven dynasties, the Great Chu isn't the strongest. However, the Great Chu is the closest to our Great Zhou and often has conflicts with us. Therefore, they always target our Great Zhou at every Seven Dynasties Conference! Last time, the Great Chu seized thirty-seven cities from us in the Seven Dynasties Conference!!"
