Shocking World War Emperor
Chapter 190: Princely Heir’s Command!

Chapter 190: Chapter 190: Princely Heir’s Command!

"Palace Master!"

Numerous Cultivators bowed to the middle-aged man in the green robe.

A look of surprise and delight appeared on the faces of the He Family members.

This person was none other than the Palace Master of Tianluo Academy, as well as He Mu’s master. With him here, there was hope for their Family Head’s salvation.

"He Family Head, you should go and tend to your injuries first."

The man in the green robe said with a smile.

"Thank you, Palace Master!"

The He Family Head bowed slightly before landing on the ground and, supported by He Mu, went aside to heal.

The man in the green robe had also descended from the sky.

Ling Chen paused his step and looked at the man in the green robe, a serious expression emerging in his eyes.

In his senses, this person’s cultivation level was at least above the sixth layer of the Spirit Sea Realm.

Now that he was at the late ninth layer of the Spirit Sea Realm, and his Spiritual Power was only comparable to the late second layer of the Primordial Pill Realm, even if he possessed a medium-grade Spiritual Weapon and executed a medium-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique, he might not be a match for this man.

"Heh, how is this considered malicious? If I weren’t his match, I probably wouldn’t end up in a good place either."

Ling Chen said indifferently.

Even if this person was much stronger than him, he wasn’t particularly worried.

Because, under the public eye, the Palace Master of Tianluo Academy would absolutely not dare to kill him.

This was the law of the Great Xia Dynasty, specifically meant to protect the geniuses of the academies!

"What a sharp and eloquent mouth!"

The green-robed man nodded.

He seriously observed Ling Chen for a while before smiling and asking, "Are you Ling Chen?"

Upon returning, He Mu and the others had reported to him about a monstrous genius emerging from True Martial Academy, who had defeated Ye Zhenzhen.

"That’s right."

Ling Chen nodded.

"No wonder Zhenzhen lost to you, it’s not undeserved!"

Ling Chen could defeat He Gaoyuan, so what was defeating Ye Zhenzhen worth?

Moreover, Ling Chen was a Divine Thought Master.

No wonder Ye Zhenzhen’s Cloud Mist Technique had little effect on Ling Chen, so that’s why.

"With your strength being so formidable at such a young age, you must be an extraordinary Super Spiritual Body, right?"

The man in the green robe continued to ask.

"No."

Ling Chen shook his head.

"Your cultivation is only at the ninth layer of the Spirit Sea Realm, and your Spiritual Power is comparable to the second layer of the Primordial Pill Realm. You think you can deceive me, young man?"

The green-robed man smiled smugly.

"Believe it or not!"

Ling Chen said.

Seeing Ling Chen’s unfriendly attitude, the man in the green robe didn’t take it to heart and said, "Ling Chen, since Ye Zhenzhen has joined True Martial Academy, why don’t you join Tianluo Academy?"

He didn’t know what methods True Martial Academy had used to coax away the Ye Zhenzhen he had nurtured.

But now that Ling Chen was in Tianluo Prefecture, he wouldn’t let Ling Chen leave either.

Besides, Ling Chen’s strength and talent were not inferior to Ye Zhenzhen.

Put that way, his Tianluo Academy could even gain somewhat of an advantage!

"I will not join Tianluo Academy."

Ling Chen refused.

The green-robed man smiled and said, "That’s not up to you!"

"What, you dare to make a move against a student from my academy?"

Ling Chen’s expression turned stern.

"Heh!"

The green-robed man saw through Ling Chen’s thoughts and said, "Don’t try to scare me with those laws of the Dynasty; I understand them better than you do! The Dynasty simply dictates that you can’t kill an academy student. Keeping you in Tianluo Academy doesn’t violate the laws."

"You..."

Ling Chen was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Alright, I advise you to obediently stay here. Your strength is not bad, but it’s nothing in front of me," the green-robed man said with a smile.

"Master!"

Just at that moment, a voice came from behind. It was He Mu.

He looked at Ling Chen with a face full of resentment and said, "Master, he is the one who caused my elder brother to lose his lifeblood, and my father to be seriously injured. How can you let him off so easily?"

The expression of the man in the green robe hardened, and he frowned slightly, saying, "What’s this, He Mu? Does how this palace handles matters have to be approved by you?"

"I wouldn’t dare!"

He Mu hastily bowed respectfully.

"Hmph!"

The green-robed man spoke, "If I hadn’t come, do you think your father could have survived? A disciple should simply fulfill the duties of a disciple."

"Yes."

He Mu could only respond.

When the green-robed man looked at Ling Chen, his face changed to a smile, and said, "Ling Chen, I’ll give you a quarter of an hour to decide whether to stay obediently or to force me to make you stay. It’s your choice?"

Threatened by this man, Ling Chen was completely out of options.

"If only my strength were stronger, if I had become the Dark Night Son, how could a mere Academic Palace Master force me into such a situation?"

Ling Chen felt an immense anger in his heart.

But he was helpless nonetheless.

Just then, a fragrant breeze arrived from behind, followed by a faint voice: "Palace Master Li, do you remember me?"

Piano Girl appeared at Ling Chen’s right side.

Upon hearing this, the green-robed man sized up Piano Girl for a moment, suddenly his pupils shrank and he said shakily, "Qin Xianzi?"

"It seems Palace Master Li still remembers me."

Piano Girl curtsied gracefully.

"You flatter me, Qin Xianzi."

The green-robed man hurriedly returned the salute.

This Qin Xianzi was quite renowned in the Royal Capital, and he had had the fortune to see her once, following a Princely Heir of one of the Eight Great Families, listening to her heavenly music.

"May I ask if Palace Master Li would consider letting Young Master Lingchen go, for my sake?"

Piano Girl said with a smile.

"This..."

The green-robed man frowned.

He wanted to keep Ling Chen mainly for the upcoming contest of the Eight Palaces.

If his Tianluo Academy performed well, he too would receive bountiful rewards.

Right now, he had been stuck at the late stages of the Primordial Pill Realm for a while and urgently needed the resources from the contest of the Eight Palaces!

Although Qin Xianzi was held in high regard in the Royal Capital, when it came to the breakthrough of his cultivation, he would rather choose the latter.

"Please do not make this difficult for me, Immortal."

The green-robed man could only say so.

"Oh?"

Qin Xianzi nodded lightly, and suddenly her jade hand flashed with a glint of light.

"How about now?"

Qin Xianzi lifted a silver token in her hand.

The silver token was the size of a palm, engraved with the character "Lan."

"Princely Heir Token!"

The green-robed man’s eyes focused, and he knelt down toward Qin Xianzi immediately, exclaiming, "I have met the great Qin Xianzi!"

The Princely Heir is the title for the heir of the Eight Great Families.

This Princely Heir Token was issued by the Princely Heir.

Seeing the Princely Heir Token is like the Princely Heir himself being present.

Moreover, there is only one Princely Heir Token.

"Understood what to do?"

Qin Xianzi said with a smile.

"Understood!"

The green-robed man replied immediately.

His heart was filled with shock, not expecting that Qin Xianzi had such a good relationship with the Princely Heir.

The Princely Heir even gave Qin Xianzi his token.

If this was not the Princely Heir Token of the Lan Family, it would be another matter.

But the Princely Heir of the Lan Family is exactly the person he pledged loyalty to.

Everyone was taken aback to see the Palace Master paying respects to a woman, their eyes nearly popping out.

Ling Chen was also dumbfounded.

A small token could be so useful?

Enough to command obedience from a cultivator above the sixth level of the Primordial Pill Realm?

Looking at this scene, the people of the He Family were also stunned.

Their support, bowing down in front of a woman standing behind Ling Chen?

What was happening?

The most surprised was He Gaoyuan.

He thought he could survive this ordeal, but now, even the Palace Master was following the orders of that woman, he felt death creeping closer to him once again?

"He Gaoyuan, do you wish to do it yourself or shall I assist you?"

Sure enough, the chilling voice that followed.

It was Ling Chen speaking.

With the protection of the Tianluo Academy Palace Master, even if he wanted to kill He Gaoyuan, he wouldn’t dare.

But now, with Qin Xianzi backing him, would Ling Chen miss this opportunity?
