Princess Bailing was also a bit hesitant at this time.
In Wantu Kingdom, her status was higher, and her understanding of the world and its affairs was clearly deeper than others.
She was clear in her heart.
Under the rule of the Sky-Splitting Dynasty, the Peerless prodigies of Wantu Kingdom were definitely not top-tier.
Looking across this Sky-Splitting Domain under the rule of the Sky-Splitting Dynasty, those who could truly be called Peerless prodigies were actually under twenty-five years old, not under thirty.
This time.
The reason she and Zhao Ziyue agreed that Martial Artists under thirty years old could participate was actually just to leave a bit of leeway for both sides.
In case of an accident, she was still confident she could bring in more experts from Wantu Kingdom to overwhelm Mystic Moon Kingdom.
If they were to truly follow the recognized rules of the Sky-Splitting Domain, only discussing Peerless prodigies under twenty-five, then many of these Peerless prodigies from Wantu Kingdom wouldn't be able to make it.
She knew.
How exaggerated those figures truly crowned as Peerless prodigies were in the Sky-Splitting Dynasty's one hundred and eight main cities.
Each one was fiercer than the last.
Talent, Aptitude, Martial Dao levels... secret techniques, emerged endlessly.
Among those under twenty-five, quite a few had cultivated to the Soaring Sky Realm.
She had even heard more terrifying rumors; it was said that in the top twenty main cities of the Sky-Splitting Dynasty, there were even Peerless prodigies who had already cultivated Divine Powers while still in the Soaring Sky Realm.
Compared to such Peerless prodigies, they were essentially nothing.
If such Peerless prodigies were to come to Cloud Dragon Zen Temple and participate in that trial, she believed they would definitely pass the stone chamber trial faster than them.
But the question was, was Li Yun a Peerless prodigy of this level?
Why didn't she quite believe it?
Just a Sect disciple from Mystic Moon Kingdom, she had already investigated; before entering Cloud Dragon Zen Temple, Li Yun was even just a Houtian True Qi Realm Martial Artist and had even challenged a Houtian Martial Artist from Mystic Moon Kingdom on top of Flying Goose Tower.
Could this level of cultivation belong to that kind of peerless Peerless prodigy who cultivated to the Soaring Sky Realm under twenty-five and mastered Divine Powers in advance?
The possibility was too low.
"Could it be that he really used some trick, and even I was deceived, causing me to be overly nervous?"
Princess Bailing felt suspicion in her heart.
But she told herself that her actions and judgments were always the result of careful consideration, and she didn't want to be too absolute.
This was even more so in front of everyone.
"Huang Shaoxuan's suspicion isn't entirely unreasonable, but saying now that Li Yun used some trick in Cloud Dragon Zen Temple or is in league with Little Monk Xu Ming is also a bit far-fetched."
"You all should not make wild guesses, lest it affect your judgment of the enemy."
"This time, I summoned you here, to the Royal City of Mystic Moon Kingdom, with only one goal: to display the strength of our Wantu Kingdom's Peerless prodigies in front of the Martial Artists of Mystic Moon Kingdom."
"The importance of this trip needs no further words from me."
"Therefore, no matter who the opponent is, no matter what arrogant words they utter, I hope you can treat it calmly and restrain all dissatisfaction."
"Wait until the arena opens, and then use your true strength to defeat the Peerless prodigies of Mystic Moon Kingdom."
"Furthermore, I will emphasize one more point."
"No matter what Young Lord Dongyang, Li Yun has said, you must not casually attack outside the arena."
"The situation is constantly changing now, but the relationship between our Wantu Kingdom and Mystic Moon Kingdom hasn't completely reached the point of tearing each other's faces off and engaging in full-scale war, so as long as we act according to the agreement and only fight in the arena, the experts of Mystic Moon Kingdom will not easily intervene."
"But if you casually attack outside the arena, that will give the experts of Mystic Moon Kingdom a reason to act, and at that time, it will be unfavorable to us, understand?"
Ye Cangmang also quickly said, "That's right, the Royal City is not like Cloud Dragon Zen Temple; inside Cloud Dragon Zen Temple, there were no rules against attacking, everyone was displaying their Divine Powers. But casually attacking in the Royal City is a provocation to the Imperial Court of Mystic Moon Kingdom."
"I hope everyone will follow the Princess's instructions and not ruin the Princess's overall plan for a moment's impulse!"
Huang Shaoxuan completely ignored Ye Cangmang; in his opinion, Ye Cangmang was nothing more than Princess Bailing's lapdog.
"Then may I ask the Princess, is killing allowed in the arena?"
Princess Bailing smiled faintly, "On the arena, swords and blades have no eyes; a few casualties are naturally reasonable."
Huang Shaoxuan's spirits lifted, "Good, I understand. When the arena officially opens, if Li Yun dares to come, I will kill him in the arena!"
...
In an elegant manor of similar style in the eastern part of the Royal City.
Ye Tianxie, however, was full of pleasant surprise.
"Zhao Ziyue, have you heard? That guy Li Yun is coming to the Royal City! He's really coming to the Royal City, and he even declared in Eastern Xuan Continent that he's going to beat those idiots from Wantu Kingdom to death one by one."
"This is stable now."
"With this guy Li Yun around, those idiots from Wantu Kingdom won't be able to stir up any trouble, hahahaha..."
Zhao Ziyue also had a face full of smiles.
It could be said that besides a few high-level members of Heavenly Martial Sect, the only people in this world who knew how truly powerful Li Yun was were probably just her and Ye Tianxie.
Transcendent Realm... First-grade Innate True Qi... martial arts at full mastery, mastering Martial Dao Domains, Battle Tacticss almost condensing Battle Souls... knowledgeable in Formations, possessing Innate Divine Power, and even cultivating Divine Powers in advance...
This kind of monstrous existence, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him the number one Peerless prodigy in the history of Mystic Moon Kingdom!
She even suspected that if another year or eighteen months passed.
When Li Yun turned nineteen.
And his cultivation reached the Soaring Sky Realm, he should be able to go to the Sky-Splitting Dynasty and contend with those true peerless Peerless prodigies in the Sky-Splitting Domain.
Would such a Peerless prodigy lose?
How could he lose?
But she couldn't show off like Ye Tianxie; before things were truly settled, it was absolutely inappropriate for her to show off given her status.
On the contrary, she had to advise Ye Tianxie.
"Alright, show off a little less. This matter still has variables after all."
"Variables?"
"What other variables could there be? Hmph, I have a hundred percent confidence in Li Yun. You know how abnormal this guy's strength is... Mere idiots from Wantu Kingdom, how could they be enough for him to fight?"
Zhao Ziyue smiled faintly.
"You forgot, Princess Bailing said it was a Peerless prodigy martial arts competition, but the age limit for Martial Artists who can actually enter the arena to fight has been raised by her to under thirty years old."
"Why did she do that?"
"It's not for anything else but absolute certainty. Wantu Kingdom's foundation is much deeper than our Mystic Moon Kingdom's; Martial Artists under thirty years old are definitely stronger than those in our Mystic Moon Kingdom!"
"Once a situation truly arises where a Peerless prodigy is no match for our Mystic Moon Kingdom, top-tier Martial Artists under thirty years old will step in, skirting the edge of the arena rules!"
"To accomplish this plan, she even brought in Song Wujie from Wantu Kingdom. Do you know who that is?"
"That is the Young Manor Lord of Divine Sabre Manor in Wantu Kingdom, twenty-nine years old this year, known as invincible below the Soaring Sky Realm in Wantu Kingdom!"
"He is said to be invincible below the Soaring Sky Realm, but as far as I know, relying on powerful Battle Tacticss and Battle Souls, this Song Wujie has already killed quite a few Soaring Sky Realm experts with his blade."
Ye Tianxie's expression suddenly changed.
"Song Wujie, this guy actually came too?"
"This is going to be bad!"
At this moment, a man wearing a golden crown and a python robe, aged about thirty-five or thirty-six, walked into the manor.
