Luo Zheng Enters the Battle

After Xiao Daoyuan's defeat, Black Iron Divine Kingdom had no presentable martial artists left apart from the Crown Prince himself and Prince Yan.

The First Tier of the Divine Kingdom Continent generally referred to the most outstanding God-Level Geniuses. God-Level Geniuses were already exceedingly rare, let alone the cream of the crop among them.

There was a tremendous gulf in strength between the First and Second Tiers. Even the strongest martial artist from the Second Tier would probably be instantly killed by Yun Longtao upon taking the field, accomplishing nothing at all.

Crown Prince Zhou Ning had never witnessed Luo Zheng's strength. When Luo Zheng passed the Jade Profound Martial House's assessment, Zhou Ning had not been present. Instead, Zhan Yun had personally reported to him that an Independent Martial Artist had appeared in the Jade Profound Martial House—one qualified to stand among the First Tier.

The Crown Prince naturally had to bring such a person into his fold, which was why he had hurried to Crane Lonely City. At the time, Zhou Ning had thought recruiting Luo Zheng would be easy. After all, Zhan Yun had also told him that Prince Yan had already fallen out with this person.

He simply had not expected Prince Yan to suddenly barge in halfway through.

From Zhan Yun's description, Zhou Ning had only a rough assessment of Luo Zheng's strength. This brat was probably on par with Zhan Yun, or perhaps even a little stronger. Even if he took the field, he likely would not be Yun Longtao's opponent. However, Black Iron Divine Kingdom truly had no other presentable martial artists left.

None of that was the key issue. The key was whether this brat would obey his orders. What would he do if he spoke and the other party refused?
