Peerless Taoist

"Haha, you point at such a brat and tell me that he is stronger than me. Haha, what a joke! " Master Ying laughed arrogantly.    

Even Ninth Prince looked at Wu Li Hou suspiciously.    

However, Marquis Wu Li was his trusted aide after all, and it was indeed difficult for him to say anything on the surface.    

"What's your name?" Ninth Prince asked impatiently.    

"Rogue cultivator, Lu Yu." Lu Yu said plainly.    

A hint of contempt flashed across Ninth Prince's eyes.    

Although Great Master Ying was a rogue cultivator, his attainment in formations was well known across the entire Great Dragon Sky Dynasty.    

However, this young man in front of him didn't look old, and even the cultivation level wasn't that powerful.    

People like him must be here to make up the numbers.    

Ninth Prince couldn't help but complain about Wu Li Hou. How could Wu Li Hou choose such a person to participate in such a crucial competition?    

However, Wu Li Hou was his trusted aide after all.    

It would not be good if he were to refute him in front of his face.    

"Alright, I happen to be lacking a person here. You can make up for it." Ninth Prince frowned slightly, but he still said in a deep voice.    

After all, he was just a person to fill in the numbers.    

Most importantly, how could Master Ying defeat the subordinates of those princes?    

"Master Ying, you can rest in my residence first. When the battle starts, I'll leave everything to you!" Ninth Prince stood up and said respectfully to the master.    

Master Ying stroked his beard and nodded. Then he closed his eyes and did not say anything else.    

"Your Highness, this Lu Yu is very strong. Back then..." Marquis Wu Li was a little unwilling.    

He observed Ninth Prince's expression and could already see Ninth Prince's displeasure.    

But Ninth Prince had no idea what kind of supernatural means Lu Yu used at that time.    

"I know. The defeat at that time was a huge blow to you. However, you are still someone I value highly. I hope that you can get out of the shadow of defeat as soon as possible and pull yourself together again. " Ninth Prince gave a few words of encouragement with an indifferent tone.    

Marquis Wu Li was stunned on the spot, then lowered his head and said, "Yes, thank you for your advice, Your Highness."    

After they all left, Marquis Wu Li walked in front of Lu Yu and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness doesn't seem to think highly of you. Do you know what to do?"    

Lu Yu said lightly, "Don't worry, as long as I let him succeed in the competition for the throne, then he will definitely be the Crown Prince."    

There was one thing that Lu Yu didn't say.    

The reason why he supported Ninth Prince was because he wanted to enter the Imperial Palace and find the whereabouts of Ji Chenyu's soul.    

As for who would become the Emperor, he wasn't interested at all.    

"It's good that you know." Marquis Wu Li let out a long sigh and left the Imperial Residence.    

Lu Yu stayed here for the time being.    

There were still ten days left until the competition. He might as well stay here and cultivate quietly.    

Ninth Prince was conferred the title of Jin King. The steward of the prince's mansion brought him to a quiet guest room, so he didn't care about it anymore.    

Great Master Ying had sufficient medicine and spirit stone to supply him every day, but Lu Yu had nothing.    

However, Lu Yu did not care about it. It just so happened that he was happy to have some free time.    

"Before that, I can consolidate the cultivation level!" Lu Yu sat cross-legged and began to circulate the Cultivation Methods silently.    

Ever since he had broken through to the Arcane Realm, the Divine Spring Secluded Country in his body had expanded to the size of fifty cities.    

Cities of various sizes stood in a forest, and a dragon-pulse lay across the ground.    

The strength of a city was equivalent to an early stage soul Realm powerhouse!    

Currently, within Lu Yu's body, there was a total of fifty cities' power. Once it erupted, even an Engravement Realm powerhouse would not be able to withstand it.
