Half an hour later, Li Qing took Wen Xiaoxian and followed Jin Shihou to the Zhendong Prince's Mansion in Yingtian City.
"You guys sit here for a while, and I will call my father over right away."
Jin Shihou said, and then left.
This wait took half a day.
The two of them sat there bored, and no one came out to entertain them, not even a cup of tea.
Wen Xiaoxian couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The King of Zhendong called the two of us here, but we ended up hanging here, waiting for so long without coming out to meet the guests.
What on earth does this mean?"
"Maybe they want to give us a blow, or maybe they don't care about our identities at all.
If we are happy, we will see each other, and if we are unhappy, we will not see each other."
"The problem is that he called us here, and we didn't come on our own initiative.
Even if we have a low status, we wouldn't be so negligent."
Wen Xiaoxian was quite dissatisfied.
"Of course this is not the case under normal circumstances, but what if there is an ulterior motive?"
"There is no other purpose."
Wen Xiao was stunned for a moment, then he felt something in his heart, and said slowly: "No matter what King Zhendong asks for later, you must not compromise for my sake, you know?"
Li Qing nodded: "Don't worry, I have a sense of discretion in my mind."
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and a middle-aged man wearing a python suit with a majestic face took the lead and strode in.
Obviously, this is the legendary Zhendong King He didn't even look at Li Qing and Wen Xiaoxian, he just sat at the top of the table, took a slow sip of tea, and then turned his head to look at them.
"You are Li Qing."
This person's voice was very rich, as if he had powerful power, making people bow their heads and surrender to him.
Li Qing was unmoved and nodded: "Yes, didn't you see me in the King of Realm map?"
"Well, I have seen everything you did in the Kaiotu.
At that time, I only thought that you were a talented person with unparalleled fighting power, but I didn't expect that you had some relationship with our Zhendong Prince's Palace."
"May I ask why the prince called us here this time?"
"Why else is it not about the matter between Wen Xiaoxian and Lingzhu?"
King Zhendong showed an angry look on his face and said loudly: "I heard that you two are plotting against Lingzhu again."
"Your Majesty, please don't be angry.
We have something to discuss."
Li Qing faced the imposing manner of King Zhendong with a normal expression.
"What a good boy.
He is very strong.
He can be so calm even in the face of my pressure."
The anger on King Zhendong's face disappeared and he calmed down instantly.
It was obvious that he was just pretending.
"I don't know what the prince wants to do to let the eldest brother and Princess Lingzhu be together."
"Originally, based on Wen Xiaoxian's conditions, it would have been impossible for him to marry my Lingzhu, but now that you have appeared, things have taken a turn for the better."
King Zhendong smiled slightly.
"Want to hear the details."
"I have heard my son say that you want to win the top three, so that you can make a reasonable request to His Majesty."
"That's right, as long as I win the top three, I plan to propose marriage to His Majesty on behalf of Senior Brother."
"The idea is good, but the reality may not be possible."
King Zhendong shook his head and laughed.
"Is it possible that you are not even willing to speak to His Majesty?"
"Haha, if you are an ordinary person, you may not dare to have any room for resistance in the face of His Majesty's request.
But the problem is that I am the majestic Zhou Zhendong King, with a high status.

Even His Majesty the Zhou Emperor will not easily Force me."
Li Qing was not sure whether what Zhendong King said was true or false.
It might not be as exaggerated as what he said, but there was some credibility in it.
If King Zhendong really opposed it desperately, His Majesty Emperor Zhou might not force him.
"Your Majesty said so much, not because he wants us to retreat in the face of difficulties.
Just say it directly if you have any purpose.
If I can do it, I will definitely not refuse."
Li Qing said slowly.
"It's different when talking to smart people."
King Zhendong nodded calmly, "If you want Wen Xiao to marry my daughter first, how can you do it without paying a price?"
"at what cost" "I heard that you have several Taoist artifacts in your hands.
I don't need more.
Just one is enough.
If you agree to this, I will agree to marry the spirit pearl to Wen Xiaoxian."
"What Taoist weapon?"
Wen Xiaoxian couldn't help shouting.
"Don't you think the prince's request is too much?
A Taoist weapon is equivalent to a sect's treasure of suppressing the sect.
If you make such a request to other forces, I'm afraid you will have to make enemies."
Li Qing said coldly. said.
"Who makes you have no backing?
The common man is not guilty, but he is guilty.
The Taoist weapon in your hand is destined to be unable to be kept.
Rather than being snatched away by others, it is better to use it to make a deal with me, and it is not a loss.
Where to go.”
Jin Shihou said quickly: "Father, Li Qingnai is my good friend, and I invited him here.
If you use this method to obtain the Taoist weapon in his hand, where will you put me?"
King Zhendong's eyes widened: "Do you have any right to speak here?
Get out of here?"
"I won't leave."
Jin Shihou raised his neck.
"Pa" Zhendong King slapped the golden lion lord out of the house and disappeared.
"Okay, it's quiet now.
Do you agree with my deal plan?"
King Zhendong clapped his hands nonchalantly.
Li Qing shook his head: "I cannot agree to the unreasonable request.
This matter is too ridiculous."
"Haha, it seems that the relationship between you and Wen Xiaoxian is not that good.
You are not even willing to pay for a mere Taoist weapon.
What kind of fellow disciples are you?"
"When did the value of a mere Taoist weapon drop to this low?"
Li Qing was speechless.
King Zhendong sneered: "How can the value of Taoist tools be compared with love?
You just lost a Taoist tool, but what Wen Xiaoxian got was a love."
Li Qing was stunned.

What kind of way of thinking is this?
How could he be so shameless?
"King Zhendong was joking.
Taoist tools are Taoist tools, and love is love.
The two cannot be equated."
"Humph, forget it if you don't want to.
Don't even think about me marrying the Lingzhu to Wen Xiaoxian."
King Zhendong waved his hand.
"I still have a lot of spirit stones on hand.
I am willing to pay 300,000 spirit stones as a betrothal gift.
I hope the prince can be more generous and help them achieve their good deeds."
Li Qing said.
"Three hundred thousand, your kid's net worth is pretty good."
King Zhendong was a little surprised, but still shook his head, "Unfortunately, I don't lack spiritual stones either, I only lack Dao tools, and there is nothing else that can impress me. mine."
As one of the four kings with different surnames in the majestic Zhou Dynasty, he was so powerful that he would naturally not be moved by the three hundred thousand spirit stones.
"How about five hundred thousand spirit stones?"
Li Qing reported another number.
"You are really an innate strong man.
How did you get so many spiritual stones?"
King Zhendong looked at Li Qing in shock.
The number of spiritual stones in his hand was probably not that many.
Could this guy have obtained the treasure of a powerful person?
"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about where I got these spiritual stones.
Just agree or disagree.
If you agree, these spiritual stones will be yours immediately."
King Zhendong shook his head: "I have already said that spiritual stones are not attractive to me.
Just enough is enough, and any more will be just a series of numbers."
"In that case, I have nothing to say.
Dao weapons are impossible, and I believe you won't be so stupid as to think that I will agree."
Li Qing refused to give in.
"You kid, you really don't think about it.
If you exchange it for a Taoist weapon, not only can Wen Xiaoxian marry the Lingzhu, but you can also gain the friendship of my Zhendong Prince's Palace.
Anyway, you can't keep the Taoist weapon in your hand, so don't be fooled by the treasure.
Eyes."
"I'll go back and think about this matter."
Li Qing said ambiguously.
"Don't think about it for too long.
When I find some powerful young heroes at this martial arts tournament, I might just marry the spirit beads.
Time waits for no one."
"My lord, you really don't give in an inch and press forward every step of the way."
Li Qing smiled bitterly.
"Okay, that's it for now.
I won't be keeping you here for a while.
Go back first."
King Zhendong said firmly.

"Then let's say goodbye."
Li Qing and Wen Xiao stood up first and were about to go out.
Wen Xiaoxian suddenly turned around, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "King Zhendong, I heard that Lingzhu has lost her memory of me.
Is this true?"
"Yes, I found a soul master and sealed the memory with my own hands."
King Zhendong nodded.
Wen Xiaoxian closed his eyes in pain, with tears streaming down the corners of his eyes, and said slowly: "She still doesn't remember me after all.
Maybe this is a good thing for both of us.
After so many years, it's time to give up."
"What do you mean?"
King Zhendong's expression condensed.
Wen Xiaoxian laughed miserably, but his tone was much tougher, and he said decisively: "For this relationship, I wasted decades, lost too much, gave up the path of martial arts, gave up my parents and master, gave up my hometown, I have suffered so much humiliation from Zhendong Prince’s Palace, do you really think I don’t have any resentment in my heart?”
"Today you want to humiliate me again and take advantage of my feelings for the spirit beads to obtain my junior brother's Taoist weapon.
This is unforgivable."
"Since this relationship cannot be forced, let it end today.
With my strength and status, I am indeed not worthy of the Lingzhu, and I dare not climb any higher."
"So instead of waiting until later to respond, I'm going to make my decision now."
"I refuse," Wen Xiaoxian said word by word.
King Zhendong stared at Wen Xiaoxian closely and smiled coldly: "You have been weak for so many years, but today you finally harden your bones.
It really makes me admire you."
"Please also ask the prince to find a suitable man for Lingzhu and not let her be wronged.
Then I will be satisfied."
"I won't bother you anymore.
You will have nothing to do with the Lingzhu from now on, so you can take care of yourself."
"Li Qing, let's go."
Wen Xiaoxian was so distraught that he left this place.
Li Qing sighed and left.
After leaving Zhendong Prince's Mansion, Wen Xiaoxian said slightly apologetically: "I'm sorry, Li Qing, for causing you so much trouble."
"You are my senior brother, why should I help you so much?
You don't blame me for not paying for the Taoist tools, right?"
"You really offended me when you said this.
If you really exchange a Taoist weapon for it, that would be the most stupid behavior, let alone the Taoist weapon in your hand.
Even if I have a Taoist weapon, will I take it?
It’s not necessary to change.
Unreasonable requests should be rejected decisively.”
"I didn't expect that King Zhendong would make such a request.
If it were for other requests, I might be able to think of a way, but it's really impossible for me to agree to a Taoist artifact."
Li Qing sighed.
"Actually, I have already connected.
In the final analysis, my strength is still too weak.
If I cultivate to the virtual realm, I am afraid I won't need to ask him.
It's a pity that I have been wasting in Jizhou City for decades, and I don't know how to return.
Can we reach that level?”
Li Qing smiled and said: "There is nothing impossible, don't forget.
You are now a top-level innate, surpassing most people in the world.

It is a certainty to cultivate to the tenth level of innate.
You only need to understand the unity of heaven and man."
That’s fine” "Listening to what you said, I feel like life is full of hope again.
I will completely let go of this relationship, and you don't have to worry about it anymore."
"If I win the top three by then, I can try to make this request to Emperor Zhou.
Maybe it will succeed.
I have to give it a try after all."
"That's fine.
If it fails, then let's end it here.
Maybe it's because I have no connection with Lingzhu.
Now that she has lost her memory, she can live a carefree life in the future."
A month later, the much-anticipated second round of the martial arts tournament finally began.
The one thousand people who advanced all gathered in Yingtian Square.
In the morning, after everyone arrived, a figure was seen flying out of the sky.
"The following is the second round of the martial arts competition.
There are a thousand participants, divided into ten groups, each group has a hundred people, and they fight each other.
The ten people in each group who can survive to the end can advance to the next round."
The examiner was explaining the rules of the competition in detail.
Even though everyone knew the corresponding content, they still had to explain it routinely.
"The rules have been explained.
Is there anything else you don't understand?"
"No more."
Everyone shook their heads.
"Well, the competition is about to begin.
Please invite your majesty to the star chessboard."
The examiner bowed towards the direction of the main hall.
Then they saw the Zhou Dynasty Palace suddenly shimmering with stars, and a huge chessboard fell from the sky, containing everyone inside.
Li Qing only felt that the scenery in front of him changed, and he appeared in a dark space.
At a glance, it feels like you are in a cold and dead universe, with many stones floating nearby.
In the distance, there were stars twinkling, barely illuminating the darkness, allowing the nearby scene to be clearly seen.
"This is the space within the star chessboard."
Li Qing scanned it with his spiritual consciousness, and soon discovered several figures in the distance.
Obviously, it is the warriors participating in the competition However, this space seems to be very large, and there are only a few people within the coverage of Li Qing's spiritual consciousness.
Of course, compared to the world in the Kaio map, it is much smaller.
After all, in this chessboard of stars, we have to fight each other.
If we can't see a single person for most of the day, it would be too strenuous.
This space is neither too big nor too small.
A hundred people can come in without being too crowded.
If you look for it deliberately, you can quickly find your opponent.
Li Qing flew towards the warrior, and soon saw him.
In this place, all warriors are enemies and basically fight when they meet.
The man happened to turn his head, and when he saw Li Qing's appearance, he couldn't help but trembled: "It's you."
"You recognize me" "Nonsense, you are Li Qing, a famous figure.
It would be strange if you don't recognize him."
This man didn't dare to stay, so he turned around and ran away.

"Where to escape?"
Li Qing took action boldly and grabbed it with one hand.
The man was horrified: "How could my luck be so bad?
I just came in and met this evil star.
This guy is too strong.
My life is at risk."
Before he was hit, he suddenly shouted loudly: "Everyone in this group, Li Qing, be careful and unite to kill him."
The next moment, he was hit by this palm.
In the star chessboard, a force immediately surged and moved this person out.
"The control of the Star Chessboard is really wonderful.
In this place, even if you want to kill people, you can't do anything."
Li Qing praised.
In this way, you can take action without any scruples, and you don't have to worry about accidentally killing people.
"If this guy's voice spreads, it will definitely attract the attention of some people, and maybe they will join forces to deal with me first," he thought to himself.
This possibility exists, but it’s actually not too big.
First of all, there shouldn’t be many people who heard about it.
Secondly, Li Qing’s strength is so powerful that they have to fight him when they are full.
"Don't say it's impossible for them to unite.
Even if they really unite, they still can't eliminate me."
Li Qing didn't care.
After a while, another warrior heard the sound and came to this place.
He looked at Li Qing from a distance and said coldly: "It is indeed you."
Li Qing raised his head and recognized this man as a powerful warrior from the Southern Region.
"What, do you want to come and fight with me?"
Li Qing said.
"Don't be too arrogant.
I am not your opponent now, but sooner or later I will find a way to deal with you."
After the man said this, he left immediately.
Two days later, Li Qing met more than a dozen warriors, and they were all defeated by him.
There were many powerful characters among them, but they were all eliminated one by one.
It can only be said to be a matter of luck.
He could often feel that there were many people peeping at him in the distance, spying on his every move.
Because the distance was too far, Li Qing didn't bother to chase them, so he just counted them as one he met.
This space is endless as far as the eye can see, and apart from the floating stones, there is almost no obstruction.
It is too easy to follow his traces.
He could vaguely feel that many warriors had secretly united to deal with him.
This made him feel a little surprised.
Knowing that he was so powerful, he still dared to do this.
It seemed that these people also had some confidence.
"Then let me see what cards you have prepared
