Having acquired two treasures, Wang Yan could barely lift his head; his face was flushed, as if a fiery sunset had descended upon him, and he was at a loss for what to do.
Even someone as easygoing as him felt a little embarrassed at this moment.
The top two students, the senior and junior students, all gave themselves the rewards they had worked so hard to earn.
This, this...
"Take it as I have given you. Cultivate diligently in the future, and you will not have wasted this pill I bestowed upon you."
Lin Xuan smiled casually and offered a word of comfort to Wang Yan.
Clutching the pills and sword tightly in his hands, Wang Yan secretly made up his mind that after returning this time, he must improve his strength and never be the one who holds everyone back again!
Finally, there was the reward Qu Youmeng received.
She came in third place and received a Origin Sword Pill as a reward.
This pill is a sixth-grade medicine that can help cultivators who have comprehended Sword Intent to take it a step further and comprehend a higher level of Sword Intent. For sword cultivators, it is an absolutely invaluable treasure.
After only one glance, Lin Xuan gave the pill to Su Lianxin. She had already comprehended the first level of Sword Intent and was not far from the Second Level Sword Intent. With this pill, she might be able to raise her Sword Intent to the second level.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for investing in Origin Sword Pill, you have received a rebate of Supreme Sword Heart Pill [Six Patterns]."
An eighth-grade elixir, the Supreme Sword Heart Pill, and it's even a six-patterned one...
The rewards have been distributed. As for Yunyi, she didn't receive anything from Lin Xuan. There was nothing she could do about it; there really wasn't anything particularly suitable for Yunyi.
Yunyi felt no dissatisfaction whatsoever. Compared to the Azure Emperor Scripture given to her by her master, what were the treasures she had obtained in the competition?
Besides, if it weren't for my master, I wouldn't have been able to get second place in the competition.
After distributing all the rewards he had acquired and dismissing his disciples, Lin Xuan took a deep breath.
The items he received as rebates were all exactly what he needed.
This time, his cultivation and strength are about to experience a surge!
If he weren't currently on the spirit ship, he would have already been eager to consume pills to enhance his strength.
Even with his calm and collected nature, he began to look forward to returning to the Jade Balance Sword Palace as soon as possible to begin his seclusion.
The spirit boats shuttled back and forth, their rays shining brightly. The Li Household of the Dawn Empire also welcomed the returning spirit boats.
However...
"Bang!!"
The head of the Li Clan family slammed his hand on the table, his expression shifting between anger and rage, like a furious lion.
"Who! Who did this?!"
"They even dare to cripple the young master of the Li Clan? Who gave them the audacity?!"
The overwhelming pressure of King Realm High Stage erupted, sweeping across the entire council hall. The impact was so great that the people kneeling below could not withstand it, and they coughed up a mouthful of blood, staining the ground red.
The person kneeling didn't even dare wipe the blood from the corner of their mouth, rubbing their knees against the ground as they moved forward, collapsing to the ground and wailing loudly.
"Please punish me, Master..."
An elderly man standing beside the head of the Li Household family also had a very unpleasant expression.
"Never mind that for now. The most important question right now is whether or not we should inform the Ancestor..."
Looking at Li Jing'an, who was being carried back to the ground and was still unconscious, the head of the Li Household family frowned, thinking of his father.
His father, the Li Household patriarch who was in seclusion, was also the strongest member of the Li Household. He had already reached the King Realm Eighth Layer Perfection King Realm Ninth Layer.
And he, the old man, always doted on his grandson Li Jing'an the most...
He was furious; if the patriarch knew about this, he would be even more furious than him!
The head of the Li Household family had a gloomy expression as he looked at the servants who were carrying Li Jing'an back, his heart filled with murderous intent.
At this moment, his mind was in turmoil. He wondered how furious the patriarch would be if he knew about this.
After a long silence, the head of the Li Household family waved his hand.
"Go, go and inform the ancestor."
Several servants scrambled away, leaving only the Li Household family patriarch and the unconscious Li Jing'an, who remained silent in thought.
However, he didn't have much time to ponder, because soon, an extremely terrifying aura erupted from the back mountain of the Li Lineage's territory, sweeping across most of the Dawn Empire!
At the same time, the leaders of several major powers in the Dawn Empire, regardless of what they were doing, all sensed it, frowned, and looked up at the location of the Li Household.
"Hmm? This feeling... is that old ghost from the Li Household? Tsk, his cultivation has become even stronger. This aura is very close to the King Realm Ninth Layer. Once he steps into the ninth level of the King Realm Ninth Layer, a term referring to the overall situation or structure) of the Dawn Empire will probably change again."
"Go and find out what happened, who alerted that old man to come out of seclusion."
There are also those who are better informed.
" Old Ghost Li has actually come out of seclusion. It seems the rumors that he dotes on his grandson Li Jing'an are true."
" The Heron Empire, the Jade Balance Sword Palace... This is going to be quite a show. You know, even within my Dawn Empire, there aren't many forces that dare to touch that kid from the Li Household. This mere sect from the Heron Empire is incredibly audacious."
" Old Ghost Li is indeed powerful. Let alone a sect in the Heron Empire, even the Heron Empire is nothing but an ant in front of the Li Household, which can be wiped out with a wave of the hand."
"His most beloved grandson has been crippled; this old man is probably going crazy."
A group of powerful figures discussed amongst themselves, all eager to see what would happen next.
Since the two countries have no real relationship, and they have absolutely no connection with the Jade Balance Sword Palace, what else can they do but watch the show?
As they had predicted, not long after that terrifying aura erupted, spirit boats carrying countless King Realm flew out of the Li Household.
Look at its target...
It clearly points directly to the Heron Empire!
I felt the King Realm atop the spirit boat once more.
Wow!
There are at least fifty of them.
The Li Household is actually going to mobilize the entire clan!?
Isn't this making a mountain out of a molehill?
Hiss... No, it's not a trivial matter. The fact that the young master of the Li Household has been crippled is an absolutely momentous event for the Li Household.
And this is the foundation that the Li Household, a super Aristocratic Clan of the Dawn Empire, possesses!
King Realm expert is among the strongest in the entire Seven Kingdoms.
Some of the weaker empires, even if King Realm within the entire empire are combined, only have a few dozen.
The Li Household, however, has more than fifty members!
It's absolutely terrifying!
The power of a single Lineage can rival that of a nation; the Li Household is no exception.
The Li Household's spirit boat flew by, drawing countless gazes to the dome, who gasped in astonishment.
Looking at these spirit ships carrying numerous powerful individuals, they all understood perfectly well.
This time, the Li Household is truly enraged!
Especially on the first spirit ship at the head, the old figure standing at the front was so striking that even a glance from someone of weak strength felt like an eyesore!
That person was none other than Li Tiantong, the patriarch of the Li Household, known as Old Li Tiantong Old Ghost Li!
He was ranked among the seven kingdoms and at the pinnacle of dawn, a true powerhouse. Normally, many people couldn't even see his face. But today, he charged towards the Heron Empire in such a grand and furious manner.
The Jade Balance Sword Palace is really in for a world of trouble this time!
