Mu Hanyan herself has followers, so of course she knows how difficult it is to cultivate a few followers with outstanding strength. If she didn't have the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce as a backing, she would still be able to make money and provide them with the elixirs they need for cultivation. In addition, when they were in Fangjia Village last time, she used the Tianxin Gongfa (actually it should be called the Shenwu Potian Jue, but Mu Hanyan has practiced the ancestral Tianxin Gongfa for two lifetimes, and it has become a habit. Many times she still subconsciously calls it the Tianxin Gongfa) to help them open up their hidden meridians and greatly improve their strength. It is estimated that it is questionable whether they can reach the third level of swordsman now.
The fact that Yi Xingtian has two such powerful maids is obviously not just because of his personal strength.
As for the two men named Zhan Li and Meng Xun, seeing them sitting upright and looking straight ahead, Mu Hanyan knew that they were indeed just extras.
Mu Hanyan glanced at Yi Xingtian and the others, then at Lu Junran and the others from Xi Qin, and mentally crossed Lu Junran and the others out of her opponent list. Although Lu Junran and the others were quite strong, as her grandmother had said, they could not pose a serious threat to her.
However, Yi Xingtian was somewhat unexpected. The day after meeting her grandmother, Mu Hanyan received from her the list of participants from Northern Qi and Western Qin, as well as information on their strengths and sword skills. Western Qin had not changed much, but Northern Qi had originally sent someone other than Yi Xingtian and his group, but somehow they had changed their team in the end.
This time, getting that Destiny Star Plate might not be as easy as I imagined. Mu Hanyan glanced at Yi Xingtian again, secretly raising her guard.
"What about Anyun Kingdom? What are the origins of the people in Anyun Kingdom?" After hearing the two people in front introduce the masters of Western Qin and Northern Qi, someone asked curiously.
Although Yi Xingtian has a hot body and handsome appearance, he is a bit too heroic, which adds a bit of inexplicable pressure to most men. On the contrary, Mu Hanyan, who has a beautiful and elegant face, is more likely to attract their attention.
As he was afraid of drawing too much attention to Mu Hanyan and affecting her mood before the competition, Yue Fanyi had not yet spread the news of her being named the eldest princess. From the royal family to the common people in the State of Shangyue, no one knew much about her.
"The stunning beauty in the lead is called Mu Hanyan. She is the eldest granddaughter of the head of the Mu family, one of the eight great families in Anyun Country. She is also the best among the freshmen of Longyan College. It is said that her strength is that of a sixth-level swordsman. However, she has a set of unique skills, and her real combat power far exceeds that of masters of the same level." Someone with quick ears and eyes introduced.
"What about the people around her? The ones who are very good-looking." A girl looked at Hua Yue, then at Zirong, and then at Jiang Yuzhe and Tang Bufan, and asked in a very infatuated manner. The girl next to her had the same expression.
I have to say that these guys all look good and are not much less attractive than Mu Hanyan, they just target different people.
"It seems that the guy who likes to show off is called Huayue, but the others don't know." The man said with a bit of jealousy.
"Speak up, speak up, are you jealous of others' good looks and don't want to say it?" The infatuated girl said dissatisfiedly.
"I'm not jealous. He's just a little bit better looking than me. What should I be jealous of? I really don't know. I just heard that they are all Mu Hanyan's guards and followers. I guess they are not much stronger." The man said somewhat unconvinced.
"They are just guards and followers. That's strange. Isn't this competition a group battle? Why doesn't Anyun Kingdom send a few more experts and let Mu Hanyan bring a few followers?" The infatuated girl said with regret and confusion.
"Perhaps Anyun Country couldn't find a few decent masters, so she had to bring a few followers with her. Hahahaha," the man said with a sneer. The two countries of Shangyue and Anyun had been enemies for generations. Although there were rumors that the two countries were preparing to restore diplomatic relations, and Anyun's participation in the Royal Sword Sound Academy's freshman competition was a sign of things to come, many people would not miss the opportunity to ridicule Anyun.
"Even if Anyun isn't strong, it's not like they can't find a few experts. From what I know, among Anyun's younger generation, Guan Shanhe, Qi Kaiyun, Cheng Zhicheng, and Jiang Qiling, known as the Little Witch of Longyan, are all experts, no less capable than the young elites of our Shangyue Kingdom." Someone quickly countered, "Not everyone is completely ignorant of Anyun. Longyan Academy has a long history of producing experts, and its reputation on the mainland rivals that of the Royal Swordsmen." However, given the distance between the two capitals, he hadn't been aware of Jiang Qiling's departure from Longyan Academy.
"Then why not send him out, but let Mu Hanyan come with a few followers?" The previous man said unconvinced.
"You don't know this, Mu Hanyan was actually cheated." The latter said mysteriously.
"Oh?" Everyone looked at him curiously.
"You have heard about the strange beast attack on Dingbian City a few days ago. Let me tell you, the matter is not as simple as the rumors..." The man recounted what happened in Dingbian City in a mysterious manner. When he talked about how Wu Ziyue wanted to use Mu Hanyan as a scapegoat but was seriously injured by Mu Hanyan's sword, his face was full of joy.
"You mean, King Bingjian came up with these group battle rules just to deal with Mu Hanyan?" Someone immediately understood.
"Nonsense! Although previous competitions between academies and swordsmanship contests between countries also had group battle rules, the Royal Sword Sound Academy's freshman competition has always been one-on-one. But this time it has been changed to a group battle. Why else could it be if not to deal with Mu Hanyan? The King of Side by Side has only one precious son, and as the city lord, he has no compassion for the people. He exploits the people and harms the people, plundering countless people's wealth. Even His Majesty can't do anything about him, and yet he was severely injured by Mu Hanyan. Even if he recovers, his future path of cultivation will probably be completely ruined.
How could the King of Side by Side not hate her to the core? However, it was indeed Wu Ziyue who was wrong first, and Mu Hanyan was an envoy of Anyun. No matter how much the King of Side by Side hated her, he dared not attack her openly, and could only focus on this competition.
"Even though Mu Hanyan is quite powerful and well-known in Anyun Country, the people around her are far inferior in strength. "Forget winning this time. In my opinion, if she's not careful, she might even lose her life," the man said with a sigh.
"I didn't expect there would be such a tangle after this competition. I guess Mu Hanyan didn't expect this result either, otherwise she should have brought a few experts with her."
"What a pity. It's too late to regret now. No matter how strong she is, the others are too weak. They will drag her down by then." The others also looked at Mu Hanyan with sympathy.
