Zhang Shaochu then said, "In the recent quarterly assessment, Ninth Brother even surpassed all others, becoming the fifth highest skilled expert in the West Courtyard. []"


"Besides, Ninth Brother is still the first spiritual power genius in the history of Wushi Academy. Those elders all said that if Ninth Brother focused on cultivating his spiritual power, there would be a 50% chance that he would become a Spiritual Power Saint in the future."


Some of Zhang Shao's words, the Prince of Yunwu had already known, but some were heard for the first time.


The Cloud Martial Prince’s eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of strange light. “According to this prince’s knowledge, to enter the top five of the West Courtyard, one needs the strength of a Xuan榜 martial artist. Jiuer, could it be that you already possess the combat strength to enter the 《Xuan榜》?”


Zhang Ruchen said, "No one who hasn't won ten consecutive matches at the Martial Arts Arena dares to guarantee they can enter the Xuanbang."


The King of Yunwu Prefecture saw that Zhang Ruochin was neither arrogant nor impetuous, his mind calm and composed. Suddenly, he thought of something and said, "Four directions, the vassal states have mobilized a million soldiers to declare war on the Kingdom of Yunwu, within ten days, the Kingdom of Yunwu has lost twelve cities. Now, all the warriors in the entire Kingdom of Yunwu say that it was you who killed Prince Huo Xing, which brought disaster to the Kingdom of Yunwu. What do you think?"


Zhang Ruochin said, "If Your Majesty wishes to hand me over to appease the anger of the four states and kingdoms, I will offer no resistance. If Your Majesty requires me to go to the battlefield to fight, I will obey without hesitation. Since this is a calamity I have caused, I naturally bear the responsibility."


As for the death of Prince Huo Xing, Zhang Ruochin didn't offer an explanation because explaining it wouldn't have made any difference.


When Yunwu County King heard Zhang Ruichen call him "Your Majesty," his face turned somber, knowing that Zhang Ruichen still harbored resentment towards him.


"King" and "father" differ by only one character, yet there lies an insurmountable gulf between them.


The King of Yunwu said: “Even if the country of Yunwu is truly destroyed, this king will absolutely not hand over his son to the other four states for punishment. Your martial arts skill, although strong, cannot fundamentally change the situation, so this king will not let you go to the battlefield to kill enemies.”


"But since you caused trouble, you must do something for the Cloud Martial Prefecture. As for what, I'll tell you tomorrow. For now, go back and see your mother; she misses you dearly."


Zhang Ruchen and Zhang Shaochu retreated. In the hall, only Yunwu County King and Wancheng Chong remained.

The King of Yunwu shook his head and said, “Qianshui County is a superior county, more prosperous than Yunwu County by over a hundred times. **Latest Chapter Full Read** In the eyes of the King of Qianshui, Yunwu County is just a speck. Even if I personally went to seek aid, it is unlikely that I would receive an audience with the King of Qianshui. If you were to go, there wouldn't be even a slight chance.”


<<>>


Recently, this king learned of a piece of news. The 13th princess of Qian Shui County is sixteen years old this year and has reached marriageable age. The King of Qian Shui County wants to choose a talented and outstanding young man as her son-in-law.


"Now, the news has spread throughout the thirty-six kingdoms of Tianmo Ridge. Every country wants to form an alliance with Qian Shui Kingdom to gain its support. This is Yun Wu Kingdom's only chance, even if it is slim, this king must fight for it."


Wan Cheng was suddenly enlightened, and said: "So, Your Majesty actually wants to take the Ninth Prince to Qian Shui County for a marriage?"


<<


"The best candidate was originally Qi'er. If Qi'er went with me to Qian Shui Jun Guo, her opportunities would be much greater. But... ah... let's not talk about it."


Not long ago, the King of Yunwu County sent a message to the Seventh Prince, hoping that he could represent the Kingdom of Yunwu County to meet with the Thirteenth Miss in Qian Shui County.

Although Prince Yunwu had eight sons (the Eighth Prince is deceased), only the Seventh and Ninth Princes possessed exceptional talent, truly outstanding among men.


Facing a superior kingdom like Qian Shui, other princes couldn't even think of competing. Let alone marriage proposals, they might even bring shame upon their own kingdoms by associating with Qian Shui.


After much deliberation, Prince Yunwu felt Zhang Ruochin was the best candidate. Not only was he around the same age as the Thirteenth Princess, but he was also a peerless genius, worthy of being the match for the Thirteenth Princess of Qian Shui Kingdom.


Wànchéngzhòng, with some confusion, said to the King, "Why didn't Your Majesty inform the Ninth Prince beforehand?"


"With his personality, if he knew I was bringing him to Qian Shui County for a marriage introduction, would he agree?" Yunwu Prince chuckled lightly. "No matter what, this whole affair started because of him. He should do something for the county."


Zhang Ruochin had a brief reunion with his mother for one night. The next day, he followed King Yunwu of the Martial Kingdom to Qian Shui County.


Zhang Ruochin didn't know the real reason for going to Qian Shui Jun Guo, he only knew that he was going to Qian Shui Jun Guo for help.


The mount of the Cloud Martial County King was a fourth-order savage bird, the Golden Feather Falcon.


<<>>


Back then, King Yunwu and Wancheng teamed up and spent six months to subdue the Golden Feather Carving.


The fastest speed of a golden eagle is close to the speed of sound.


However, to reduce the consumption of true qi, the golden feather falcon only flies at a speed of two hundred meters per second. Even so, the golden feather falcon's flight speed is astonishingly fast, exceeding that of most earth-realm Grand Perfection martial artists.


This time, I followed Prince Yunwu of the Cloud Martial Kingdom to Qian Shui County. There were a total of twenty-five people.


Besides Zhang Ruochen, there are twenty-four others. Among them, four are generals of the Di Ji realm, and twenty are warriors of the Xuan Ji realm's great perfection.


Those twenty martial artists at the peak of the Profound Extreme Realm, all clad in fourth-tier Zhenwu Treasure Armaments, transported twenty chests of treasures.


Inside the box, there are spirit crystals, genuine martial arts treasures, and some other precious medicinal herbs.


Everyone sat on the back of the golden feather roc, flying hundreds of meters high in the void, heading east.


Jīnyǔ Diāo flew for a day and night, crossing tens of thousands of miles, finally entering the territory of Qián Shuǐ Jūn country.

The Thousand Water King City was incredibly grand and vast. Its walls were even taller than mountains, and when you looked out, it was packed with ancient buildings as far as the eye could see.

Compared to the capital of Qian Shui Kingdom, the capital of Yunwu County is simply a remote small town.


Upon entering the Thousand Waters King City, Prince Yunwu first took Zhang Ruochen to a manor. The manor was a property of the Yunwu Royal Court, with over ten servants guarding it.


After placing the treasures they had brought, Yunwu County King took Zhang Ruochin to visit a high-ranking official of Qian Shui County, intending to use that official's connections.


That high-ranking official was a Minister of State from Qianshui County, holding a position of great authority and wielding immense influence within Qianshui County.


Every year, the Yunwu County and State send a large amount of silver coins and spirit crystals to that high-ranking official in order to receive his protection.


Zhang Ruochin was a little puzzled and asked, "Why don't we just give all the treasures to Prince Qian Shui and ask him to send troops to help suppress the four vassal states?"


The Duke of Yunwu said: "The strength of Qian Shui County is more than a hundred times that of our Yunwu County. In the eyes of the King of Qian Shui, our Yunwu County is just a speck of dust, not taken seriously at all. If we didn't have connections, it would be impossible for us to see the King of Qian Shui. Do you know who Ning Shangshu is?"


Zhang Ruochin shook his head.


<>


A single family was several times stronger than an average county, the Ning family's power was truly terrifying.


If the Ning family truly wanted to destroy our Yunwu County, they wouldn't even need to lift a finger. All they would have to do is speak a word. The inferior counties surrounding Yunwu County would certainly band together to attack us, dividing up the land of Yunwu County among themselves.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Zhang Ruochin's face was somewhat solemn. He said, "Is this the reason why Yunwu Jun Guo has to send a large amount of spirit crystals and treasures to Ning Shangshu every year?"


"Not only our Yunwu County, the thirty-six counties of Tianmo Ridge have backers in Qian Shui County. For example, the backer of Sifang County is the right minister of Qian Shui County. Without that right minister's acquiescence, Sifang County would not dare to attack Yunwu County lightly."


Maintaining stability in a principality is a difficult task, and it requires strong support to ensure long-term peace.




Not long after, Lord Yunwu and Zhang Ruichen arrived at the outside of a massive mansion. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!


An old butler in a blue robe walked out of the gate with a smile on his face. "Yunwu Prince, it's been a long time," he said.


Yun Wujun Wang did not put on the airs of a prince. He bowed slightly and smiled, "Ning Guan Shi, it's good to see you well."


During their conversation, the Yunwu County lord presented a delicate golden box to the old steward.




The old butler took the golden box, opened it for a glance, then closed it again. A smile spread across his face, even kinder than before.


The Cloud Martial Prince lowered his voice and asked, "Is the Minister in the residence?"
