Chapter 596: Defeat All the Others
"Master Haotian, have the letters sent to the Su family been intercepted in recent years? Why don't you want to see me?"
Jiang Huanhuan did not reminisce with Su Muqing and others next to her first. Instead, she tiptoed to Li Hao, leaned her delicate and lively little face towards Li Hao, and asked.
The girl's body fragrance and the scent of orchid came to my face.
Before Li Hao could respond, Su Muqing's face turned cold and she said:
"My Su family would never do such a thing. I wish he would leave so that he wouldn't be an eyesore in my Su family!"
"Mu Qing."
Su Wanqing's face changed slightly and she pulled Su Muqing. After all, there were many geniuses present, and speaking so harshly would make Li Hao too embarrassed.
Lin Jinrou and Jiang Huanhuan's eyes changed slightly and they looked at Li Hao, but they found that Li Hao was not angry.
"I've been busy these past few years and can't get away. Sorry."
Li Hao said to Jiang Huanhuan, ignoring Su Muqing's words.
Seeing Li Hao like this, Jiang Huanhuan showed a hint of disappointment in his eyes and said, "It's a pity that Master Haotian has wronged himself so much. I heard from Wanqing that you only have a short soul life of 100 years. Otherwise, you come to my Jiang family, and I will recommend you to my father so that you can get the best training resources of my Jiang family. How about it?"
Hearing Jiang Huanhuan's words, the faces of the people around changed slightly. They didn't expect that Jiang Huanhuan would promise Li Hao such a great benefit.
For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Li Hao. If he could be cultivated with the Jiang family's top resources, even an ordinary genius could enter the top ranks.
Su Muqing raised her eyebrows and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but then she felt a little annoyed and looked at Li Hao coldly.
Li Hao looked calm, and said with a cupped hand: "I appreciate Miss Jiang's kindness, but I am here only for her."
As he spoke, he looked at Su Muqing.
When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned and a little surprised.
Su Muqing was also stunned. She obviously didn't expect Li Hao to refuse so decisively. Although the Jiang family was slightly inferior to the Su family, the gap was not big. If she could get the cultivation of the core members of the Jiang family, she would surely achieve great things in the future.
"Master Haotian, as far as I know, Mu Qing is engaged to my clan. If you keep pursuing her like this, I'm afraid it will end in vain. It would be better to..."
Beside her, Lin Jinrou stared at Li Hao and spoke softly.
Jiang Huanhuan was also stunned. She didn't expect that Li Hao would reject the invitation she had made secretly so quickly.
If she said this to the many geniuses present, I'm afraid there would be an immediate sensation at the scene, and everyone would scramble for it.
Su Wanqing looked at Li Hao deeply and couldn't help but sigh. She had a new understanding of Li Hao's persistence.
Su Wanxue looked at Li Hao thoughtfully without saying anything.
"No problem. In my life, I only care about my heart and not the result."
Li Hao said to Lin Jinrou.
Lin Jinrou glanced at Li Hao and said nothing more. She suddenly felt that this young man's pursuit did not seem to be like those of Su Muqing's previous pursuers. Could it be that true love really existed in this world? Could it transcend cultivation and immortality?
You know, with such cultivation from the Jiang family, the path to becoming an immortal will surely be smooth and the future will be bright. Why worry about not having a Taoist companion?
"Humph, do you think you can impress me with these words? Wishful thinking!"
Su Muqing suddenly sneered and said, "While Huanhuan hasn't changed her mind yet, I advise you to agree and don't miss this rare opportunity in your life."
Jiang Huanhuan said quickly: "Yes, Master Haotian, Mu Qing has said so. She will never accept you. She has the Lin family's prince. No one in the world can match him. You don't have a chance."
Li Hao shook his head slightly and didn't explain further.
Seeing Li Hao so persistent, Jiang Huanhuan felt disappointed. Several Jiang family geniuses behind him looked at Li Hao with strange eyes. When Jiang Huanhuan made the promise just now, they were sweating coldly. If they really recruited this unknown guy, it would be a waste of a lot of resources.
But they were surprised that the other party dared to refuse. How could he resist such temptation? Is this person stupid?
"Let's go."
Su Wanqing sighed.
Jiang Huanhuan and Lin Jinrou didn't say anything more, and there was a hint of disappointment in their eyes when they looked at Li Hao.
As the three major families of Gusu Imperial Star, the Jiang family, the Lin family, and the Su family were all located closest to the Sword Pond.
Under Su Wanqing's instructions, a place for a futon was also added for Li Hao.
As soon as Li Hao sat down, he felt a sharp sword intent coming towards him from the sword pool in front of him. It contained thousands of layers of Dao rhyme like a raging wave. These Dao rhymes not only had the characteristics of the water origin, but also the sharpness of the gold origin, the explosiveness of the fire origin, and even the formless flow of the time origin.
After everyone was seated, some geniuses from aristocratic families came flying in from outside Jianshen Peak.
Some of them flew in riding colorful fans, some princes came in a carriage pulled by nine dragons, and some fairies descended on colorful fairy clouds. They all displayed extraordinary postures, and if they were put in the outside world, they would stand out from the crowd, be the best among men, and be geniuses that appear rarely in a thousand years.
As more and more people arrived, the noise became louder, and the Su family, the Jiang family, and the Lin family naturally became the focus of everyone's attention.
Not long after, five whistling sounds came.
Su Wanqing looked up, stood up immediately, and said, "Brother Su Qiyu."
The leading young man was tall and slender with an extraordinary handsome face. He was covered in magic treasures and had nine precious fairy beads on his belt, which were extremely dazzling.
Each of these immortal beads can withstand a full-strength killing attack from a peak Immortal King realm master without the need for activation.
Su Wanxue and Su Muqing also stood up and greeted him.
Su Qiyu glanced at the three women, and his eyes immediately fell on Li Hao next to him. Surprise appeared in his eyes, and he said:
"Who is this?"
Su Muqing's face looked a little unhappy, and she said, "He's just an idler, don't bother with him."
"Could it be that he is the boy who is rumored to be pursuing Sister Mu Qing?"
There were four members of the Su family standing behind Su Qi Yu, both cousins and uncles, and one of them asked curiously.
The other three were all surprised when they heard what was said, and they looked at Li Hao with unfriendly eyes and a bit of contempt.
Su Qiyu has been in seclusion these days, striving to reach the Immortal King realm. Hearing this, he asked in confusion, "Pursuing Mu Qing?"
He felt surprised and shocked. Are there still such bold and fearless guys in Gusu Imperial Star?
Moreover, it was even more strange that the other party was able to sit next to Su Muqing and others and was not killed on the spot.
Su Wanqing was worried that Li Hao would be embarrassed, so she quickly sent a message to tell Su Qiyu what happened, and also informed him of the marriage certificate and her father's order.
Su Qi Yu was stunned, and suddenly he understood something. When he heard Su Wanqing say that Li Hao's soul lifespan was only a hundred years, his eyes narrowed slightly and he couldn't help but stare at Li Hao.
"really?"
Su Qiyu asked via voice transmission.
Su Wanqing nodded.
Su Qi Yu stared at Li Hao deeply, and when he heard the mocking voices from the people behind him, he immediately raised his hand to stop them from speaking.
He understood that his father would be so indulgent because the other party had the Emperor behind him. Otherwise, how could he give in for just a marriage certificate, and even risk offending the Lin family.
Now the demon tribe is watching covetously and the pressure on the border is extremely great. The human race in the Northern Territory cannot afford internal strife!
"Everyone calm down. Since this is Sister Mu Qing's business, I believe Sister Mu Qing will know how to handle it properly."
Su Qi Yu said this, and then took a few people to sit aside.
The four people were a little confused, wondering why Brother Qi Yu protected the young man, but they were all children of wealthy families, so how could they not have some thoughts? They soon stopped talking and just secretly tried to figure out Li Hao's background and identity.
After they sat down, it wasn't long before other geniuses from aristocratic families came to visit them. They were just polite and simply made themselves known.
Winning the Sword Pool Competition is not only an opportunity for the geniuses of each family to become famous, but also an opportunity to establish relationships with the three major families.
The geniuses from various families present were walking around. In addition to greeting the geniuses from the three major families, they would also chat with some of the friendly families, form partnerships with each other, and help each other gain a foothold in their respective families, achieving mutual benefit.
As the noise grew louder, several figures came rushing over.
The leader was a white-haired old man with a youthful face. He looked kind, and there was no aura emanating from his body. However, his eyes were so captivating that people dared not look directly at them.
"The Immortal King Tan is here."
Someone whispered, and the place soon became quiet. The geniuses from the noble families who were walking around and visiting and greeting each other quickly returned to their seats.
"My lords and ladies, the fairy osmanthus is in full bloom again this year."
The old man smiled and said, "Not only will the fourteen golden osmanthus flowers of the Divine Spring bloom this time, but the purple osmanthus of the Immortal Rhyme that blooms every ten thousand years will also bloom today. I have calculated the flowering period and will hold the Sword Pond Prize Competition today. There are only a limited number of immortal osmanthus flowers, so it depends on who among you can win the first prize with your own ability!"
Hearing his words, everyone looked towards the six purple osmanthus flowers on the highest branch, their eyes shining.
"I think you all know the rules. Among the same realm sparring, those who can win five games will have a chance to pick the Liushuang Silver Osmanthus, and those who win ten games will have a chance to pick the Shenquan Golden Osmanthus!"
King Tan Xian said: "If you can be the best in your realm, never lose, and no one dares to challenge you, you will have the chance to win the Immortal Rhyme Purple Osmanthus."
Hearing this, everyone was shocked. Defeating everyone in the same realm was too difficult.
"If there are fewer people of the same realm participating, and they win by chance, then the battle with my Immortal Puppet will be counted as ten wins, which is also considered a victory."
King Tanxian said.
Everyone knew about this, but the difficulty of picking the Fairy Purple Osmanthus was beyond imagination.
"Defeat all the people in the same realm. This is too difficult."
"I didn't expect this to be the rule. King Tan would rather the Immortal Melody Purple Osmanthus wither than let me wait for it. However, this item is extremely rare in the world. Although it can only be kept for ten years, it is even more precious!"
Everyone started talking, their eyes shining, but they knew their own limitations. They glanced at the Su, Lin, and Jiang families. Perhaps only the geniuses of these three families could defeat their own clansmen.
“It’s so difficult.”
Su Wanqing and Su Wanxue both frowned. In this case, they didn't dare to say that they were completely sure. After all, the Lin family and the Jiang family were also present.
"It seems that this time it's a tit-for-tat confrontation. Sister Su, please give in then."
Lin Jinrou laughed softly.
Su Wanxue said calmly: "I also like the Fairy Rhyme Purple Osmanthus very much."
Su Wanqing pursed her lips slightly. Although she didn't say anything, it was unreasonable for a woman not to like him.
Su Muqing did not say anything, her calm eyes revealing confidence. As the True Phoenix of the Su family, she was at the sixth level of the Immortal Lord Realm, and she believed that she had never met an opponent in this realm.
Hearing the noisy discussions at the scene, Li Hao couldn't help but feel curious. Although he could see that the fairy osmanthus beside the waterfall was a spiritual object, he couldn't tell how powerful it was. He couldn't help but curiously ask Su Wanqing beside him:
"Is this fairy cinnamon a rare and powerful medicine? What are its effects?"
Su Wanqing shook her head slightly and said, "It's just a rare fairy flower. As for its efficacy... it doesn't have much effect. It's not the kind of great medicine you understand."
Li Hao was puzzled, "Then why fight for it?"
“Because it looks good.”
Su Wanqing whispered softly, "It's beautiful, rare, and difficult to obtain, so everyone is fighting for it. I heard that it was originally used as a prize for an exchange between noble families, and then it gradually evolved into a symbol of preciousness and genius. If it were just a magical medicine or Ganoderma lucidum, we wouldn't come here to fight for those mundane things. Just give an order and the family will prepare it."
When Li Hao heard this, he was a little bit enlightened. Feelings are something that is marketed. They are given the meaning of "prodigy and precious", which is why they are fought over.
"Moreover, this immortal osmanthus only lasts for ten years and withers after ten years. It is so rare, who wouldn't like it?"
Su Wanqing said.
Li Hao nodded.
At this time, as King Tanxian announced the rules, he raised his hand to set up a battle platform in front of the sword pool and set up a sealing barrier.
Afterwards, each family was allowed to freely come on stage to challenge and perform.
This was not only a game among the geniuses, but also a viewing event. Many immortal servants came and brought food and drinks, making the atmosphere quite leisurely.
The Su, Jiang and Lin families did not take any action. On the battlefield, geniuses from other aristocratic families came on stage one after another, issued challenges and exchanged magic skills.
The three major families and other families that were slightly inferior to the three chose to wait and see first, remaining calm and not rushing to show off right away, giving other families some opportunities to showcase themselves.
As a big family, it has the style of a big family.
"Lin Jinrou, why didn't your brother come?"
Jiang Huanhuan sat on the right side of the Su family and asked Lin Jinrou on the left side of the Su family.
Lin Jinrou drank a mouthful of the nectar and said calmly, "If my brother comes, will there be any need for other people to compete in this Sword Pool Festival? I'm afraid everyone's attention will be focused on him."
Jiang Huanhuan curled her lips slightly, but had to admit that if the real dragon of the Lin family came, the scene would definitely be boiling and hot, and everyone would gather around him.
When Su Wanqing heard what the two said, she glanced at Li Hao. Seeing that Li Hao didn't notice anything, she felt relieved, but she sighed in her heart.
Time passed slowly, and the fairy fruits were continuously presented. Li Hao tasted them silently while others around him were whispering to each other. Apart from occasionally asking Su Wanqing beside him something, he just drank by himself. Most of the time, his eyes were fixed on Su Muqing beside him, and his mind couldn't help but emerge with all the times he had encountered that girl in the past.
In that small town on the edge of the human world, at that tea stall...
After a long time, a burst of intense cheers came, interrupting Li Hao's thoughts.
"So amazing! Bai Mocheng of the Bai family has made such great progress. He has reached the third level of the Immortal King Realm and won ten out of thirteen battles. He is so strong!"
"Fourteen golden osmanthus flowers of the sacred spring, one less."
"It seems that in addition to the four little phoenixes, Bai Mocheng will also follow closely and step into the ranks of top geniuses."
Everyone was talking about it.
On the battlefield, a young man with a graceful figure put away his sword, slowly walked down the battlefield, returned to his family, and sat down next to a girl with a sweet smile.
The girl hurriedly asked about the injury, her eyes revealing concern, but the young man just smiled and said, "As long as you like it, wait for me to take it off. I want people to know that if others have it, my sister will have it too!"
The girl's eyes were filled with emotion.
Li Hao understood that the men who came here not only competed with their own people, but also came to win for their sisters or the people they loved.
"The Bai family has gradually begun to show its influence over the years."
Su Wanxue glanced at him and said calmly.
Su Wanqing nodded, then turned her gaze to Li Hao beside her and said, "Haotian, why don't you go on stage and try. With your strength, you have a great chance of winning ten games, and you can also pick a golden osmanthus from the Divine Spring!"
Hearing her words, Su Qi Yu and others couldn't help but look at Li Hao, with surprise in their eyes.
