Invincible Martial King

"As for the rest, there's one thing."    

"What is it?"    

Lu Chen's gaze turned cold as he quickly asked.    

"There is a rumor that not long ago, the younger sister of the current Emperor Qian, Grand Princess Anping, returned to the royal family. It was originally an incomparably illustrious Lu Family but due to the intersection between her and the former Lu Family genius, Lu Zhentian, from the first generation Martial Tao Family to now, it is still a long time ago. "    

At this point, the figure behind the counter spoke with a sorrowful tone.    

"Princess Anping?"    

Lu Chen's eyes lit up. If he wasn't mistaken, this Princess Anping was his own mother, Yin Susu.    

"Since Princess Anping has returned to the royal family, why is it only a rumor?" Lu Chen maintained his calm and asked curiously.    

"I'm not sure about that."    

That Princess Anping disappeared more than twenty years ago. If she had really returned to the royal family, she would have showed her face, but until now, there hasn't been any movements from the royal family.    

"So that's how it is."    

Lu Chen nodded but didn't ask any further questions. At least he had a clear grasp of it. If his mother was not surprised, she should be in the palace. Next, she would have to think of a way to sneak into the palace.    

However, entering the tightly guarded Imperial Palace was easier said than done. Forget about him being a martial arts grandmaster right now, even if he broke through to the Martial King level, it would still be difficult to escape if he barged into the Imperial Palace.    

It had to be known that the Dagan Dynasty was not an ordinary force. Even in the Sky Martial Continent, where the various great super powers resided, the imperial family's background was absolutely unfathomable. Forget about others, at least the imperial family had quite a few Martial King ranked existences, maybe one or two Martial Emperor Expert s, and even the terrifying existence that surpassed the Martial Emperor, might still be hiding within them.    

Without absolute strength, breaking into the palace was no different from suicide.    

"Customer, do you need any other questions?" Noticing that Lu Chen was silent, the figure behind the counter asked.    

"I have no other questions."    

"There are three hundred thousand soul crystals in here. It should be enough to pay for what I just spent. There's no need to look for the rest." Leaving behind a pile of soul crystals, Lu Chen smiled and left.    

"He's actually a rich young man. Since this new student has this kind of skill, he should be a descendant from a great power." The figure behind the counter muttered to himself as he stared at the pile of sparkling soul crystals.    

Three hundred thousand soul crystals was not a small amount for Lu Chen, but as long as he could get news about his mother, it would be enough.    

Combined with the information he got from this Ruyi Underground Trade Fair and his own deduction, his mother should be locked in the palace. The next thing Lu Chen wanted to do was to sneak into the palace at all costs.    

Since he couldn't force his way in, he might as well use other methods.    

"It seems like I have to deal with Third Prince. Maybe I can figure something out." Walking out of the underground bazaar, Lu Chen's eyes flashed as he softly muttered to himself.    

Lu Chen wasn't in a hurry to go back, so he casually strolled around. This Plum Mountain Range was quite a lively place, and students from the academy could be seen everywhere. On the streets, there were quite a few stalls set up with materials for demon beasts.    

Many students, after entering the Wilderness Secret Realm through the Teleportation Hall, would be able to cultivate in actual combat and at the same time, kill the magical beasts inside. As for the magical beast materials, they would be brought out to be sold to those who needed them, which could be considered as a way to earn soul crystals.    

Most of the people with such backgrounds might be geniuses with high status in the outside world, but there were too many geniuses that were even more outstanding than them in the academy. In comparison, they were more like ordinary martial artists, and these people had relatively few resources in the academy, so in order to improve their cultivation, they would need to use this method to obtain even more soul crystals and resources.    

By the time he returned to his residence, the sky had already darkened.    

"You are Lu Chen, right?"    

Outside Lu Chen's palace, there was suddenly a tall figure. The person seemed to have been waiting for a long time and the moment he saw Lu Chen, he greeted him with a smile.    

"You are?"    

It was a young man dressed in a long white robe. His hair was combed neatly, and his face was fair. He looked handsome, and his eyes were especially bright. It seemed like he was brimming with wisdom, making him look gentle and refined.    

Lu Chen noticed that the soul power within his body was abnormally powerful. Even though he did not deliberately reveal his own soul power, standing in front of Lu Chen was like a burning furnace.    

"My name is Zhang Hongru."    

"Send someone else over to send an invitation."    

The white-robed youth smiled and handed a golden invitation over to Lu Chen.    

"Two days from now will be the day of the East Branch's Myriad Flowers Tavern welcoming autumn."    

"If you have the time, come over and take a look."    

The young man called Zhang Hongru nodded and immediately turned around to leave without any hesitation.    

"This is …"    

Lu Chen noticed the "Yin" character. He was stunned for a moment, then his mouth curved into a smile.    

"Just as I fell asleep, someone sent me a pillow. This Third Prince is quite interesting."    

"Spring Festival of Myriad Flowers Tavern?"    

"There's no harm in taking a look."    

Lu Chen smiled and accepted the post.    

It was still early autumn, and according to the season, the peach blossoms only bloomed in the early spring. The reason the peach tree could blossom with such a beautiful flower was, of course, due to human interference.    

It was nothing to be able to cause a peach tree to bloom, it could only be done by an ordinary Innate Martial Master Ranker. However, looking around, the surrounding area was densely packed with peach trees that were blossoming.    

"You're back? How's it going? " The figure standing under the peach tree had his hands behind his back. The moment he said those words, a white robed figure appeared behind him. It was Zhang Hongru, who had sent the invitation to Lu Chen.    

"He accepted the invitation."    

Zhang Hongru replied respectfully.    

"It's good that you've accepted it."    

"What did you think of him after you saw him?" The figure under the peach tree slowly turned around, revealing a handsome face. It was Third Prince and Yin Zhi.    

"It's hard to see through."    

"His cultivation is clearly not strong, but the feeling he gives me is like that of a dormant beast. It makes me feel like my hair is standing on end." Zhang Hongru thought about it for a moment, then answered honestly.    

"I had the same feeling when I first saw him in the arena."    

"I had originally thought that his becoming Hundred Sects Meeting's champion would already be shocking enough, but I didn't expect that he would be baptized by Soul Spring within a few days of joining the academy. This talent, even compared to Chen Jinnan, shouldn't be much."    

"A person that can receive such praise from you is truly extremely rare." Zhang Hongru smiled.    

"Because it's so rare, we have to properly rope him in."    

"I had no intention of becoming enemies with Big Brother, but he sees me as his greatest opponent. Not only do he win over many powers outside the academy, he has also won over many people inside the academy. If I don't make some preparations, I'll be the one at a disadvantage." Third Prince and Yin Zhi suddenly sighed.    

"You are right to do so."    

Zhang Hongru nodded and said seriously.
