Chapter 1221: Xia Taikang’s Secret

Li Ziqi had never thought of drawing the battle because she wanted to win. So, she had long since considered what she should do in the case of a draw.

(If you used any other method, I might find it more troublesome to resolve them. But by using the art of spiritual control against me? Don’t you know that my teacher knows the four great divine spiritual control languages?)

On the surface, Li Ziqi looked like she was listening to Xia Taikang’s words and was very angry. However, in her heart, she was chanting Freedom Proof.

When the Qi Emperor stood up, Li Ziqi tossed a halo with her right hand toward the guardian kirin.

The speed of the halo was too quick and just when the notion of dodging appeared in Xia Taikang’s mind, the kirin was struck.

Boom!

A beam of light shot out from the kirin’s body, straight up the sky. It was so bright that no one could look directly at it.

“Oh no!”

Xia Taikang’s heart thumped because his mental connection with the kirin was severed. This caused him to panic and he instinctively wanted to kill the person who caused this.

“Kill her!”

Xia Taikang roared. However, the kirin didn’t obey him. It suddenly shook violently and tossed Xia Taikang from its back.

Hu~

Xia Taikang fell to the ground.

Ah?

The audience was shocked. What’s going on?

Zeng!

Grand Tutor Su stood up with an agitated expression. “It’s a divine language of spiritual control!”

Bang!

Xia Taikang landed on the stage and everyone thought that the battle had ended with Li Ziqi being the victor. But at this moment, Xia Taikang was like a cannonball shot out by a tank. With a rumble, he jumped into the air, aiming for Li Ziqi.

Boom!

The floor beneath Xia Taikang’s feet was now cracked by the recoil impact. Countless shattered stones flew everywhere.

“Go to hell!”

Xia Taikang roared in rage and swung her sword at the little sunny egg.

Woosh~ Woosh~ Woosh~

Several tens of wind blades shot out, blasting into Xia Taikang’s body. However, they weren’t able to injure him.

“What?”

Li Xiu was badly shocked. Why did the Xia Crown Prince’s combat strength suddenly increase so much?

“Mn?”

Han Cangshui frowned. After that, he revealed a smile of watching someone in misfortune. Not only did Xia Taikang’s combat strength increase, but his cultivation realm also increased.

This time around, Li Ziqi was dead for sure.

“Grand Tutor Su, quickly act to rescue her!”

The Qi Emperor shouted. He could see Xia Taikang’s killing intent.

There was no need for Grand Tutor Su to act because Sun Mo had moved and appeared before Li Ziqi. He waved his wooden blade and directly received Xia Taikang’s attack.

Boom!

A formidable impact blasted Sun Mo and Li Ziqi away.

Hua~

The entire scene was in a commotion.

“Xia Taikang is so powerful?”

Xianyu Wei was shocked. Her teacher was at the Longevity Realm and was an existence that was no. 1 among his peers. Yet, this Xia Taikang actually blew her teacher away with a single slash?

Xia Taikang rushed over and unleashed a barrage of deadly attacks, wanting to kill Li Ziqi.

This was because the art of spiritual control was very mysterious, so one usually had to kill the spellcaster if they wanted to undo what had happened.

Sun Mo blocked all the attacks.

“Great Teacher Sun, publicly interfering in the war discussion. You are insulting the Five Empires!”

Xia Taikang roared in rage.

“Is acting to stop someone from cheating wrong?”

Sun Mo coldly snorted. “If you fought fairly, I could close an eye. But you actually want to kill Ziqi? Do you treat me as non-existent?”

“What do the words of Great Teacher Sun mean?”

The audience whispered.

“Grand Tutor Su, quickly stop them!”

The Qi Emperor urged.

At this moment, some great teachers and cultivators with vast experiences also realized something wrong. Xia Taikang was too powerful.

“Your Highness Taikang, please stay your hand or I won’t be polite anymore!”

Grand Tutor Su warned as he waved his hand.

Circle Confinement!

Swish~

A translucent circular sphere materialized near Xia Taikang. The sides surrounded him while closing in before hurtling to the ground.

Rumble!

However, Xia Taikang actually broke through the sphere. This caused Grand Tutor Su to have a look of dread on his face.

“Xia Taikang, what are you doing?”

The Qi Emperor was angry now.

Xia Taikang had a secret treasure that granted him flight. However, to maintain fairness, he didn’t use it before. But now in order to kill Li Ziqi, he chose to use it.

One could say that if it wasn’t for Sun Mo’s reaction being fast enough, the little sunny egg would have died.

“This fellow dissolved my contract with the kirin. Tell me, should I kill her or not?”

Xia Taikang howled.

“Huh?” The Qi Emperor blinked. “You are saying that the guardian divine beast of your esteemed country is no longer bound by a contract?”

“Naturally, you idiot!”

Xia Taikang shot back in anger.

“Impudent!

The guards berated. (Even if you are the Xia Crown Prince, you are too rude.)

The Qi Emperor waved his hands. He felt like smiling but felt a little too embarrassed to show such an expression.

The Xia Emperor had lost its guardian divine beast?

This was simply great news that was worth him organizing a banquet and drink for ten days.

That kirin had protected the Xia Empire for over ten thousand years. Once, when the Xia Empire was facing annihilation, it alone forced millions of soldiers of their enemies back and guarded the Xia Empire, allowing the Xia Empire to rise to this point today. If not, the Xia Empire would have long since fallen.

Naturally, the Xia Empire could be proud of their own powerful army. But every time a deadly crisis happened, it was the kirin who bailed them out.

Every time the Qi Emperor mentioned the kirin, he felt extremely envious and covetous. And now, the Xia Empire had lost it…

(Wait a minute, can I catch that kirin?)

The Qi Emperor immediately stared at the divine beast in the air whose feet were standing on flames. After that, he turned and looked at Grand Tutor Su.

Grand Tutor Su also wanted an ancient ferocious beast as a battle pet, but he knew that the probability of success wasn’t high.

“Kirin, re-establish a new contract with me!”

Xia Taikang persuaded.

The kirin ignored him. It was looking at Li Ziqi.

“Li Ziqi.” Xia Taikang roared, “Look at what you have done. You destroyed a ten-thousand-year foundation of my Xia Empire!”

Everyone saw Xia Taikang’s gaze, it was like he wanted to eat Li Ziqi up. They could understand his rage. After all, the Xia Empire had just lost its guardian divine beast.

“Firstly, this is a fight. My actions aren’t against the rules as we can use any methods!”

Li Ziqi rebutted mockingly. “Are you blaming me for the fact that you don’t know any divine languages of spiritual control?”

“You…”

Xia Taikang was almost angered to death. If he knew beforehand that Li Ziqi knew a divine language that ranked at the absolute peak of spiritual control, he would rather lose the competition than summon the kirin.

“Grand Tutor Su, is the divine language of spiritual control very impressive?”

The queen asked in a small voice.

“It isn’t a problem of it being impressive or not. Rather, it’s very rare. Even for grandmaster spirit controllers, let alone reciting it, they wouldn’t even be able to understand it. This language can only be grasped intuitively and not actively conveyed in words.”

Grand Tutor Su explained.

“Also, the rate of failure using divine language is very high. I only succeeded this time around because that kirin no longer wants to be your battle pet.”

Li Ziqi added. She looked down on Xia Taikang. “Your Xia Clan let down the kirin and caused it to rebel. What has it got to do with me?”

“Some masters and their spiritual beasts shared a relationship akin to that of friends. Even without a spiritual contract, it would be willing to fight. As for others, they solely depended on the contract to forcibly enslave the spiritual beast. So once there’s a chance, the spiritual beast will surely rebel!”

As Grand Tutor Su was explaining, he also felt curious. Logically speaking, that kirin had been the guardian divine beast of the Xia Empire. Its relationship with the ancient Xia Emperor must either be that of brothers or a father and son. But from the look of things now, the kirin had borrowed the aid of Li Ziqi’s divine language of spiritual control to regain its freedom.

Xia Taikang still wanted to speak, but he was interrupted by a rough voice.

“Shut up, your words make me feel disgusted!”

It was the kirin who spoke in human speech.

Hua~

This drama was so intense. The divine guardian beast of Xia didn’t love the Xia Empire and even scolded the current crown prince.

Xia Taikang’s face immediately turned green. He clenched his fist tightly and tried his best to endure it and remain calm. “Return to the royal palace with me first, we can negotiate anything you want.”

“If I return with you, can I still ever leave?”

The kirin coldly smiled. “You should feel lucky. If it wasn’t for me feeling sentimental about Xia Jie’s past kindness, I would have eaten you up.”

“Who is Xia Jie?”

Lu Zhiruo’s curiosity was almost bursting out of her.

“An emperor among emperors in Great Xia’s history. He was an impressive and noble emperor!”

Qin Yaoguang explained.

“I’ve long since paid my debt to the Xia Clan. By not killing you, this is my last kindness toward Xia Jie. From now onward, we have nothing to do with each other!”

The kirin had felt very miserable. In order to repay Xia Jie for saving its life, it was willing to be bound by a contract and become his spiritual beast. Originally, the two of them had agreed that once Xia Jie died, the kirin would regain its freedom.

However, ultimately Xia Jie was reluctant to release the kirin due to his empire and children. Honestly speaking, they depended on the kirin to safely withstand a few empire-crushing crises.

After the kirin finished speaking, it no longer cared about Xia Taikang. Instead, it looked at Li Ziqi before turning its gaze to Sun Mo.

Sun Mo smiled but he was actually thinking whether he should cast Land Proof. If Land Proof was effective, wouldn’t he have profited immensely?

“Thank you. For the sake of returning my freedom, I can do three tasks for you!”

After the kirin spoke, it transformed into a shooting star and shot toward the east.

“Wait…”

Xia Taikang roared but it was useless. Hence, he could only vent all his grievances and resentment onto the little sunny egg. “Li Ziqi, I’m going to start a war with the Great Tang. Either you die or I die!”

“You are too shameless, you cannot even afford to lose!”

Qin Yaoguang cursed, provoking the emotions of the surrounding audience. Hence, many people also started cursing. After all, Xia Taikang had truly lost his bearings.

“Hmph!”

Xia Taikang ignored everyone. He directly summoned his diplomatic group and prepared to leave. “Let’s go!”

“Taikang, Taikang, wait!”

The Qi Emperor shouted, wanting to mediate this incident, but it was useless.

“Xia Taikang, why are you in such a hurry to leave?”

Sun Mo spoke.

“Sun Mo, so what even if you are the most dazzling rising star of the Nine Provinces? Today, even if the Saint Gate Sect Lord appears, there will only be one survivor between my empire and the Great Tang.”

Xia Taikang was staking all in one throw.

The Sect Lord Su Taiqing must have left after obtaining the painting and had no spare time to watch the martial battle.

“Don’t misunderstand, I have no plans to persuade you from changing your mind. I only want to say that before you leave, shouldn’t you explain the matter of you cheating?”

Sun Mo asked with a smile.

He originally didn’t plan to expose Xia Taikang’s scheme, but this fellow actually wanted to start a war. This was bad because once war began, many would die.

So, he could only damage Xia Taikang’s reputation first.

Xia Taikang’s eyes narrowed as his face was clouded with sullenness and rage.

“What nonsense are you talking about? How can my elder brother, the crown prince, cheat?”

“Black Doggy Sun, don’t assume that great teachers are impressive. Our Great Xia also has genius great teachers.”

“Come out, I want to fight to the death with you.”

The people from the Great Xia diplomatic group immediately cursed.

The people from the Great Tang diplomatic group also weren’t willing to lose out and immediately cursed them back.
