Chapter 1243 - Chapter 48 Revealing His Strength

Chapter 48 Revealing His Strength

What Yi Gao took out was exactly the Yiling Fire Seed of the Yihuo Tribe.

In the Primordial World, each tribe had its own totem, and the totem of the Yihuo Tribe was the Yiling Fire Seed.

Totems were the lifeblood of a tribe. They were supreme items. Generally speaking, one would not be permitted to easily take them out of the tribe’s base.

In the faith of the Yihuo Tribe, the prosperity of the Yiling Fire Seed represented the prosperity of the tribe. Once the fire seed was extinguished, it represented the destruction of the tribe, and its importance was obvious.

Surprisingly, Yi Gao’s greeting gift this time was the supreme divine object of the Yihuo Tribe. His sincerity was fully revealed.

The Yiling Fire Seed was not only a divine object of the Yihuo Tribe but also an extremely precious fire source in this world out of its fire property.

Seeing Yi Gao’s sincerity, Crown Prince Rong Fu did not hesitate and immediately accepted the fire seed. He solemnly said to Yi Gao, “From today onwards, the Yihuo Tribe shall be under the command of the Crown Prince’s Mansion. All of you will be part of the Crown Prince’s Mansion.”

After that, Crown Prince Rong Fu glanced at the crowd. Although he was focused on Ding Hao, he did not stare at him for too long.

Yi Gao and the guards were overjoyed. They were extremely grateful to the Crown Prince. They thought that once they obtained the Crown Prince’s Mansion’s approval, the Yihuo Tribe would be able to follow the Crown Prince in glory.

Yi Gao’s father, the patriarch of the Yihuo Tribe, had taken note of the potential changes in the situation and decided to stake everything on the Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince was also overjoyed. He immediately arranged a banquet for his guests to celebrate the Yihuo Tribe’s enrollment.

At the banquet.

Crown Prince Rong Fu, Military Counselor Wusun Liuce, Yi Gao, Ding Hao, and the others sat at the same table, and even Yi Gao’s personal guards were lucky enough to sit at the same table with the Crown Prince, which made them feel flattered.

During the banquet, Military Counselor Wusun still didn’t speak much. Most of the conversation was done by the Crown Prince, who had asked about the Yihuo Tribe’s current situation, and Yi Gao answered all of his questions.

Sitting next to Yi Gao, Ding Hao rarely spoke from beginning to end. He had been feeding the fat cat in his arms.

Crown Prince Rong Fu seemed to be suddenly attracted by the quiet man in cyan. He looked at Ding Hao and asked Yi Gao, “Who is he?”

Yi Gao replied politely, “His name is Ding Hao, and he’s one of my personal guards. It’s all thanks to him that I was able to survive this trip to Nine Spirits City.”

When the Crown Prince heard this, he looked surprised. It was as if he was surprised that Yi Gao had encountered such a dangerous situation, or as if he had thought of something shocking.

Crown Prince Rong Fu immediately asked Yi Gao, “Ding Hao? Is he the guard who showed his power in Nine Spirits City a few days ago?”

Yi Gao smiled and answered, “Precisely!”

At this time, Ding Hao had already stopped eating and nodded to the Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince turned to Ding Hao and said, “I’ve heard a lot about you. I didn’t expect you to be so young with your outstanding strength.”

Ding Hao replied with cupped fists, “Your Highness, I’m way too flattered. It’s just my duty to protect Young Master Yi Gao.”

The Crown Prince suddenly became interested in this brave guard. He continued to ask Ding Hao, “Brother Ding, are you also from the Yihuo Tribe? Why haven’t I heard of your name before?”

Everyone knew that the Crown Prince cherished talents. At this time, he even called Ding Hao “Brother Ding”.

Ding Hao didn’t show much restraint. He said lightly, “I was careless when practicing some time ago so I didn’t remember the past completely. I only remember my name ‘Ding Hao’.”

Surprised, the Crown Prince turned to look at Yi Gao, as if he was seeking affirmation.

Yi Gao did not dare to lie to him. He told him how he got to know Ding Hao and how Ding Hao helped him turn the tide. Hearing this, Crown Prince Rong Fu nodded repeatedly.

After that, he asked Ding Hao a few more questions, and Ding Hao answered them one by one with a smile.

Meanwhile, at another table.

“Who are those two? Why is His Highness being so polite to them?” a burly man asked, unconvinced.

The guests present today were all top experts from the Crown Prince’s Mansion. They were famous even in the Primordial World, and all of them were proud and arrogant people. How could they possibly get used to the Crown Prince being cold to them and getting close to others?

“I heard that they are sages that His Highness just recruited today. They are from the Yihuo Tribe,” a thin man with triangular eyes next to the burly man replied.

“The Yihuo Tribe? I haven’t heard of any remarkable figures coming out of it before. Why would His Highness fancy them?” The burly man’s tone was filled with disdain.

Pointing at Ding Hao, the man with triangular eyes said to the burly man, “I only heard that two days ago, a man in cyan showed his skills in Nine Spirits City. Look, the man in cyan who is talking to His Highness is the one who showed his extraordinary talent that day.”

The burly man looked in the direction of where the other man pointed and saw a man in cyan, who was weak and gentle, looking very young.

This burly guy majored in physical cultivation and looked down on weak scholar-like people in his life. The thin man with triangular eyes sitting next to him had fought with him several times before he admitted that the thin man was also a guest of the Crown Prince.

At this moment, the Crown Prince was entertaining the newcomers with great enthusiasm. The burly man’s eyes were red with envy. He became even angrier when he saw the man in cyan chatting and laughing with Crown Prince Rong Fu.

“It’s just a rumor, and we don’t know its authenticity at all. We’ll only know if he’s powerful after he shows what he’s capable of,” the burly guy muttered.

The thin man seemed to have guessed something when a gloomy smile appeared on his face.

At this time, the burly guy suddenly stood up from his seat, and everyone’s attention was focused on him.

The burly man held a liquor cup in his hand and said respectfully to the Crown Prince, “Congratulations, Your Highness, for taking in so many extraordinary people!”

After that, the bulky man drank up the liquor in one gulp. The rest of the people also raised their cups and toasted the Crown Prince.

Crown Prince Rong Fu raised his liquor cup and drank with everyone.

After one cup, the bulky man showed no signs of sitting down.

He said to the Crown Prince, “We all know that you cherish talents, Your Highness. I heard that this brother in cyan is very powerful. Brother, since we are all members of the Crown Prince’s Mansion now, why don’t we have a competition at this moment to liven things up?”

The bulky man raised his empty liquor cup at Ding Hao, declaring that he wanted to spar with him.

At this time, Ding Hao slowly stood up, cupped his hands, and said, “Brother, you flatter me. I appreciate His Highness’s favor and have the honor to come to the Crown Prince’s Mansion. Today, his banquet is a great event. I think it’s better not to use force, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.”

Ding Hao declined the burly guy politely.

At this time, Crown Prince Rong Fu just smiled and did not speak. To his guests, he had always been lax. In fact, he also wanted to see Ding Hao’s skills.

The burly guy was not so easy to get rid of. Seeing that Ding Hao didn’t accept his polite challenge, he said provocatively, “Do you avoid the battle because you don’t have any real skills and are afraid of making a fool of yourself here? Although the Crown Prince’s Mansion is heavily guarded, it’s difficult for people who want to fish in troubled waters to claim to be masters.”

After all, the Crown Prince’s Mansion was not an ordinary place. Although Crown Prince Rong Fu did not usually restrict his people much, they were very grateful for his kindness and respected him. In the Crown Prince’s Mansion, the guests were very well-behaved.

The bulky man was a little impulsive. Even so, on such an occasion, although he felt like having a fight and could not stand Ding Hao, he did not dare to stir up trouble.

“His Highness is such a wise man. Do you think that he would even allow such a thing to happen?” Ding Hao said lightly.

“Humph, of course, the Crown Prince would not have misjudged anyone.” The burly man’s face darkened slightly, but soon he showed a disdainful look and continued to shout, “Are you talking so much because you are afraid of losing to me? Well, if you are afraid of losing too badly, I will give you a chance to take three moves first.”

Ding Hao smiled and ignored the bulky man.

Ding Hao came here just to get close to the Crown Prince and inquire about the information about the Heart of Heaven and Earth through him. He didn’t want to cause unnecessary trouble.

Moreover, how could Ding Hao take such an arrogant person seriously?

When the other guests saw Ding Hao’s indifferent aura, some of them secretly admired him, and some were full of disdain.

There were all kinds of people in the Crown Prince’s Mansion. They had different backgrounds and different personalities. The only thing they had in common was that they were all first-class masters with unique skills.

This was also the reason why the burly guy dared to challenge a newcomer in public. His strong physical body, which had been cultivated to the peak realm, gave him enough power to challenge others on the spot.

Although Ding Hao had sat down and made it clear that he didn’t want to fight, the burly man still insisted and said angrily, “I thought he was a powerful figure, but I didn’t expect he didn’t even have the courage to show his skills in front of me.”

He seemed to be talking to himself, but his voice was so loud that everyone present could hear him.

When the Crown Prince heard this, his face changed a little. What the burly man said was very insulting and indecent.

Unexpectedly, the burly man didn’t notice the Crown Prince’s expression at all. He continued, “The Yihuo Tribe hasn’t produced any strong figures in over a thousand years. I thought that they finally had someone influential this time. I didn’t expect that it would be this.”

Right then-

When he said the most insulting words and everyone was waiting for him to finish speaking, the bulky man, who was more than two meters tall, suddenly fell to the ground.

“What’s going on?

“What happened?”

Everyone couldn’t figure out the situation for a while, but after the shock and confusion, they also felt clearly that an extremely powerful aura had knocked down this body that had been cultivated to the extreme in an instant.

Unbelievably, the burly guy couldn’t fight back at all.

The powerful aura that burst out in an instant was easily withdrawn in an instant, and it was actually done so accurately.

When the masters present saw this scene, they were all surprised. They all looked at the source of the aura.

They were shocked once more.

The one who knocked down the burly man in an instant was actually that man in cyan.

Moreover, the moment he turned his head, he made the bulky man faint on the ground.

“A glance?

“He did it with just a glance?

“Is this a demonic art?

“Or could it be that this man’s strength is horrifyingly high?”
