Chapter 573: Chapter 573: Da Ling Dynasty
Hearing this, Ling Chen couldn’t help but be taken aback.
Ye Fentian’s journey was purely for the sake of the Emperor’s Inheritance.
He even previously forced a life-and-death battle between himself and Xia Jiuyou.
Yet now, he’s using this approach to make amends with me, could it really be just because of Xia Jiuyou’s identity as a Demon Cultivator?
This Ye Fentian is the Young Sect Master of the Burning Flame Sect!
With his status, if he wanted to make a move against me, wouldn’t it be extremely easy for him?
Or is this intentionally done for show to others?
However, with Ye Fentian’s strength, there’s surely no need for such pretense, right?
Do the would-be kings of Great Xia, who are not even true rulers, truly catch his discerning eye?
Does he really care about what these people think?
Seeing Ling Chen’s hesitation, Ye Fentian chuckled and said, "Young Master Ling, the ruler of the Great Xia Dynasty obviously has to be a King of the Palace Mansion Realm. Apart from your Dark Night, could the others even withstand the surrounding dynasties if they became the king?"
Not only does Ling Chen possess a Golden Palace, but he also has a bloodline that even Li Xuan is extremely wary of.
Most importantly, Ling Chen has a peculiar longsword in his possession.
This longsword can slice through the World Power of World Realm Emperors.
This is also the reason why he is so wary.
If that’s the case, it’s better to befriend Ling Chen all at once.
Of course, given his status, it can’t be too deliberate.
Thus, he used the pretext that only a King can adequately protect the Great Xia Dynasty.
"I have no objections, but I need to ask our Dark Night Lord."
Ling Chen said with a smile.
He definitely won’t stay in Great Xia.
Now, he has become the strongest force of Great Xia.
If he stays here, he might lose his drive.
He has also promised Emperor Yan to seek revenge for the Howling Moon Sky Wolf clan.
How could he possibly stay here?
Thus, even if he were to protect Great Xia, the choice would have to be between Ji Wuya and Liu Qingcang.
If neither of them is willing, his agreement would be meaningless.
"My lord!"
Ling Chen called out loudly to Ji Wuya below: "Are you willing to become the ruler of Great Xia?"
Among Ji Wuya and Liu Qingcang, Ji Wuya is obviously the more suitable.
Ji Wuya is old, reaching the limit at the fourth level of Palace Mansion Realm is basically his peak.
Staying here to guard Great Xia would be a good choice.
As for Liu Qingcang, he’s not that old.
Although his talent is not strong, he is just a Super Spiritual Body.
But with incredibly high comprehension, he managed to understand the third level of archery realm before stepping into the Palace Mansion Realm.
There’s still a possibility for him to go further.
Moreover, Ji Wuya once saved Liu Qingcang.
Even if Ji Wuya wins, Liu Qingcang probably won’t have any objections.
Hearing Ling Chen’s voice, the Great Xia cultivators all had faces full of anticipation.
Now, with Xia Jiuyou deposed, given Ling Chen’s talents, the latter is unlikely to stay here.
They need a strong figure to stand guard.
Otherwise, they will inevitably fall prey to the surrounding dynasties.
And the people of Great Xia will surely suffer.
Ji Wuya was taken aback for a moment, then quickly flew over.
"My lord, this is the Young Sect Master’s intention. Now, Great Xia needs a King of Palace Mansion Realm to stay and deter the surrounding dynasties!"
Ling Chen made the introduction.
"Ji Wuya, isn’t that right? Are you interested in managing the Great Xia Dynasty for this Young Sect Master?"
Ye Fentian said with a smile.
Looking at Ye Fentian, Ji Wuya fell silent.
Although this man appears amiable at the moment, he is definitely ruthless!
Forcing Ling Chen into a duel with Xia Jiuyou, this person is evidently not as easy to get along with as he seems on the surface.
"You can think about it, this Young Sect Master never forces anyone against their will."
Ye Fentian said with a smile.
But the smile became somewhat colder.
Ji Wuya glanced at Ling Chen and immediately turned towards Ye Fentian, saying: "Thank you, Young Sect Master, this is Wuya’s fortune!"
"Good!"
Ye Fentian’s smile instantly became warm: "From now on, you are the new king of Great Xia!"
"Greetings to the King!"
Hearing Ji Wuya’s agreement, the mid-level Cultivators below burst into joy, shouting in unison.
Previously, during the Summer Nether Demon Sacrifice, tens of thousands of Cultivators perished.
At this moment, it was a critical time for the survival of the Great Xia.
With the powerful Ji Wuya defending, they believed that Great Xia should have no worries for the time being.
"Rise!"
Ji Wuya said.
As the Dark Night Lord, managing Great Xia was no different from managing the Dark Night for him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Everyone promptly replied respectfully.
"Young Sect Master, may I change the name of the country?"
Ji Wuya asked.
Ye Fentian waved his hand and smiled, "You are the ruler of a country now, naturally, you have the authority to decide on the country’s name!"
"Hmm!"
Ji Wuya nodded, then looked down at the Cultivators below and said, "From now on, I have decided to rename the country the Da Ling Dynasty!"
Defeating King Xia Jiu You was entirely Ling Chen’s contribution.
Hence, the country’s name was named after Ling Chen.
"Long live King Ling!"
Everyone bowed again.
"Be at ease!"
Ji Wuya spoke with a loud voice.
How could Ling Chen not know the reason Ji Wuya changed the country’s name? He smiled and said, "My lord, you didn’t have to do this."
"It’s okay, Ling Chen, all of this is your merit. I know you won’t stay here, I am only managing on your behalf,"
Ji Wuya replied with a smile.
Hearing this, Ling Chen did not speak further.
At this time, Ye Fentian stared at Ling Chen and said, "Ling Chen, after you deal with things here, why don’t you follow this Young Sect Master into the Burning Flame Sect for Cultivation? With your talent, it would be a waste to stay here."
"Alright!"
Ling Chen immediately nodded.
Although he was now the foremost person in Great Xia!
But in front of the likes of Ye Fentian, he was nothing.
Listening to Ling Chen’s agreement, Ye Fentian smiled satisfactorily and said, "Good, you first handle these matters. In ten days, we will leave together."
"Young Sect Master, you’re not staying in the Palace?"
Ling Chen asked.
"Hmm, we’ll go around and visit the surrounding Dynasties. We don’t often come here!"
Ye Fentian said.
Afterward, he took Elder Mu and Li Xuan and turned into three streaks of light, departing.
Looking at the departing figures of the three, Ling Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly.
He knew that Ye Fentian’s invitation wasn’t necessarily a good thing, but he had to comply.
Even with the Mystic Sword in hand, he might not be a match for them.
The gap in Cultivation was too big; it was not something a strange weapon could make up for.
"Let’s go down!"
Holding onto King Xia Jiu You, Ling Chen moved and landed on the bank of the Wu River.
He threw King Xia Jiu You on the ground, then turned to Ling Tianxing with a bow, "Father, the sinner who has caused you years of suffering, I have captured him for you! You say, how should we deal with him?"
King Xia Jiu You deprived his father of the Sacred Body.
He even imprisoned Ling Tianxing in a dark dungeon for over twenty years.
How could such enmity not be avenged?
Ling Tianxing, overwhelmed with joy, quickly stood up and grabbed Ling Chen’s hands, tremblingly said, "Chen Er, you’ve worked hard."
Ling Chen, for his sake, faced grave dangers and nearly lost his life to King Xia Jiu You.
If he could choose again, he would never let Ling Chen take such a huge risk to confront King Xia Jiu You.
Luckily, now, all was safe.
"Father, please take your seat."
Ling Chen helped Ling Tianxing back to his seat.
Then, he stood to the right of Ling Tianxing, looking down at King Xia Jiu You struggling on the ground.
With a thought, he withdrew the Divine Soul Telekinesis from King Xia Jiu You’s body.
Now, King Xia Jiu You was no more than a mortal, no longer able to threaten anyone.
"Ling Tianxing, you have a good son; I’m not wronged by my defeat! I only hate myself for not getting rid of Ling Chen, that little vermin!"
King Xia Jiu You said.
At this moment, he understood his fate.
Better to enrage the opponent; perhaps in a fit of anger, Ling Chen would kill him.
Better than being humiliated in front of everyone.
