Episode 9: The Famous Under Heaven Chapter 14: The Exchange of Geniuses

This one piece of news that came up out of nowhere blindsided Wharton for a moment.

Wharton really wanted to marry Nina, right in the Imperial City, instead of eloping.

“Kellan, is this news true?”

Linley, however, stared at Kellan and eagerly asked again.

Kellan nodded solemnly and said, “Master Linley, although His Majesty has yet to publicly announce it. But this piece of news is something my father knew from His Majesty. For authenticity, I believe that Master Linley will judge it for himself.”

Linley nodded slightly.

There was simply no need for the left minister of the empire to deceive his son, and with Linley’s ninth level Great Magical Guide’s spiritual power, if the other party was lying, Linley’s powerful spiritual power would have sensed it.

“Regardless, our brothers are still grateful for your help, Kelan.”

Linley thanked.

And it was only at this point that Walden’s confused mind came fully to its senses, and he also gratefully said to Caelan, “Caelan, thank you for informing me.”

“No need to thank you, I just hope that Nina will be happy in her future life. Alright, I’ll leave first.”

Kellan bowed slightly to Linley and Walden and left.

Walton watched Kellan leave and suddenly turned to look at Linley, “Big brother, what are we going to do?”

Walton’s mind was indeed a little messed up at this point.

“What to do?”

Linley said decisively, “First prepare for the women’s families to all transfer out of the imperial capital.”

Linley indifferently looked in the direction of the imperial palace, “We already have no choice, I’m going to immediately send someone to have Yale come over, right now we can only go through the channels of the Dawson Chamber of Commerce and first send Jenny, the Rebecca sisters, and Uncle Hillman’s loved ones away from the imperial capital first. And. For them to leave, it is best not to let that Emperor find out yet.”

Actually, it was nothing to discover.

So what if His Majesty Joanne just suspected Linley? Did he dare offend Linley? After all, he wasn’t a Martial God. And he just wanted to offend …… his men, who was Linley’s earthly opponent?

Linley had invited Yale over that day, and after discussing it with Yale for a while, Yale had immediately patted his chest and assured him, “Oldest, don’t worry, it’s just a few people? Absolutely no problem.”

Yale whirled around and smiled, “Actually, Old Three. His Majesty just knows about this, and he can only pretend it never happened.”

Linley smiled faintly.

After reaching the Saint realm, although the Imperial Emperor had a high status, he didn’t have much of a deterrent effect on him yet. What Linley feared more was actually the one on Martial God Mountain.

“Try not to be discovered.”

Linley instructed. ……

Although the sisters Jenny and Rebecca were a little reluctant to leave, they knew that they would still be with Linley and the others in the future, so they obediently followed the Dawson Chamber of Commerce’s arrangements and quietly left the Imperial Capital.

In fact, Linley, Walden, and the others hadn’t given up their last glimmer of hope.

They hoped that on the fifteenth day of March. His Majesty Joanne would choose Wharton at the Martial Hall. Although the probability was very low …… yet maybe His Majesty Qiao An would change his mind.

After all, having Nina elope with Wharton would be leaving her loved ones for Nina. And Walton, Grandpa Hilly the butler, Hillman and the others were relatively familiar with each other in the Imperial Capital. They wouldn’t want to take that step until the last moment. ……

Time passes day by day, the day of March 15th is also getting closer and closer, the imperial capital in the streets and alleys, restaurants and hotels will have about Walton, Brummer and their brother’s discussion.

Everyone was speculating who would eventually marry the Empire’s seventh princess.

Under the expectation of everyone. March 15 this day finally came, this day early in the morning was rare fog, even if it is seven or eight o’clock in the morning the sun came out. Still can only vaguely see the distance of about ten meters.

“Whew.”

Walton stood at the entrance of the Earl’s residence and let out a long breath.

He was really under a lot of mental pressure during these days.

“Well, we’ll know the results today, so relax.”

Linley smiled and patted Walden’s shoulder. Walton turned back to look at his brother, and seeing Linley, Walton felt as if he had a strong backing. The bottom of his heart had a bottom.

“En.”

Walton nodded heavily.

Linley, Walton and the two of them then boarded the carriage and traveled directly towards the direction of the palace, because of the fog, the carriage traveled at a very slow speed. Moreover, the carriages traveling to the palace on this day were still very numerous.

In front of the palace gates.

One by one, the carriages stopped, and the dignitaries all got off the carriages, talking and laughing with each other.

“Lord Olivia is here.”

Upon seeing the two brothers Olivia and Brummer get off the carriage one after another, the nobles and ministers in front of the palace gate greeted them warmly.

As soon as Olivia got off the carriage, she couldn’t help but frown when she saw the many ministers and nobles approaching.

“Second brother, let’s go in.”

Olivia did not even look at those nobles, her body naturally emitted a wave of qi, directly forcing the surrounding nobles and ministers back without hurting them in the slightest.

Those nobles and ministers looked at each other and were stunned.

“My lord, it’s here.”

A horseman’s voice rang out, and then Linley, Walden and the two of them also got off the carriage, and this time, the nobles and ministers were very sensible and didn’t get too close, but greeted each other from a distance away.

Linley, Walden and the two of them similarly did not pay much attention to those ministers, and walked directly towards the palace gates.

“Linley.”

Olivia stopped instead and turned around to greet Linley.

“Olivia.”

For opponents with strength, Linley still had a respect in his heart. To be able to obtain such strength, one simply couldn’t achieve it without subconscious and painstaking cultivation.

Linley, Walden, Olivia, and Brummer walked in a line while heading towards the Martial Arts Hall.

“Linley, that day in the martial arts arena, to be honest, I really wanted to compete with you down the line.”

Olivia had a friendly smile on her face.

“Oh? Then why did you give up? I don’t believe you were afraid of Hedson.”

Linley said with a faint smile. Olivia and Linley both sensed each other’s strength on the ground, and that day they had been forced back by Hedson, aside from the fact that Hedson’s strength itself was strong, it had something to do with the fact that Linley and Olivia’s own attacks hadn’t exploded.

“It’s not that I’m afraid of Black Dessen, but …… challenging Black Dessen is a mark I set six years ago. With the Blackstone Sword coming to fruition, I definitely want to challenge him.”

Olivia eyed “The battle in the martial arts arena, my heart is also looking forward to fighting you. It’s just that this fight will definitely have to come after the one with Hedson.”

“The Black Stone Sword Sword Technique, I don’t want Hedson to know about it. If I fight you first, won’t I be revealing my secrets?”

There was a hint of a smile at the corner of Olivia’s mouth, “I really want to see how the ‘Rock Sword Saint’ Hedson, who is known for his defense, will receive this move from me.”

Linley nodded.

“Who do you think will win the battle in a month or so between me and the Granite Sword Saint?”

Olivia suddenly asked.

Linley deliberated for a moment.

That day, when Linley had seen the black light flowing on the surface of the Blackstone Sword, he had felt a bizarre aura. Linley had confidence in his Earthly Black Yule Heavy Sword at the time. But he didn’t have confidence in his ability to defend against his opponent’s attacks.

“You and the Granite Sword Saint, anyone could win, right? It’s just that I think that the Granite Sword Saint ‘Hedson’ might have a greater chance of winning. After all, no Saint Realm powerhouse has been able to defeat him in many years. There must be some reliance for him to be able to make it this far.”

Linley said impartially.

Olivia nodded, “Yes, I also admit that I fought with Hedson six years ago. What Hedson showed was only part of his strength. Hedson …… is unfathomable. It’s just that I also have full confidence in my Black Stone Sword. No matter how strong his defense is, he probably won’t be able to resist it.”

Linley laughed.

How was this Olivia so much like himself? He himself had confidence in his Black Yul heavy sword as well.

“What kind of attack is this Black Yule Sword of yours, and why is your confidence so strong?”

Linley inquired curiously.

Olivia laughed, “Blackstone Sword?”

Olivia looked towards Linley and deliberated for a moment before saying, “I can tell you, you should know that this Blackstone Sword sword technique of mine was created by comprehending the dark elemental laws.”

Linley nodded.

“Therefore, this Blackstone Sword Sword Technique of mine has amazing penetrating power and attacking power in addition to that. It also has an attack on the soul.”

Olivia confidently spoke directly.

“Soul attack?”

Linley was taken aback.

There were originally magic spells such as soul curses amongst dark magic, and this dark elemental law also contained something about the soul. Olivia’s black stone sword. To be able to comprehend a method of attacking the soul was indeed astonishing.

“The Black Stone Sword’s kind of very ordinary destructive power may be simple to defend against. But a direct attack on the soul …… is an ordinary physical defense. It is almost ineffective. I’ll see how that Hedson can resist!”

Olivia said, and next to her, Brummer’s face took on a color of excitement.

Linley also had to admit ……

This Blackstone Sword was truly terrifying.

“Terrifying, directly attacking the soul.”

Linley was also shocked at the power of his opponent’s move.

“So the stronger the soul, the greater the certainty of resisting this move. However, warrior spirituality isn’t generally too strong. It’s Saint realm warriors whose spiritual power generally can’t catch up to a ninth level grand magical guide.”

Olivia was confident.

Warriors. Compared to a magician of the same level, their mental strength was much worse.

This move just happened to target the warrior’s weakness.

“Linley. What ground are you attacking with that move?”

Olivia inquired as well.

Brummer also looked towards Linley, and at the moment, Brummer had a look of pride in his eyes, thinking that Linley definitely couldn’t catch up to his brother.

Linley didn’t hide it either, directly saying, “My Black Yul heavy sword sword technique, where general defense is also almost ineffective, directly attacks the vitals of the internal organs within a person’s body.”

“Defense is almost ineffective?”

Olivia’s face changed.

Generally strong people’s spiritual power was exercised, especially when they comprehended the path of laws, their spiritual power increased relatively quickly. For example, Hedson’s spiritual power should catch up to a ninth level Great Magical Guide.

But internal organs were different.

Muscles were good to exercise, but the heart and lungs were difficult to cultivate. It could only allow them to absorb elements, making the heart and lungs stronger.

If the internal organs were destroyed, the person would naturally die.

“The defense itself is useless, directly attacking the inner body ……”

In the bottom of her heart, Olivia also admired Linley, this kind of attack was too bizarre for Linley to have created it.

Linley also admired Olivia, that black stone sword was actually a direct attack on the soul. ……

Some of the nobles and ministers in the back ground were surprised to see Linley and Olivia exchanging words as if they were good friends.

Soon, Linley and the others arrived outside the hall of martial arts.

Linley and Olivia looked at each other, and then both stepped into the Hall of Martial Arts with their respective brothers. In fact, the two of them had told each other about their stance, and it was difficult for the other to even think about defending against it.

Whether it was the soul, or the internal organs of the body, they were all absolutely vital. It was also precisely because these two geniuses were confident in their stances that they were not afraid to tell each other.

So what if I tell you? If you have the ability, defend and then say it!

There were already quite a few people gathered in the Hall of Martial Arts, and when Linley had just entered the Hall of Martial Arts with Walton in tow, a court attendant walked over, “Lord Linley, His Majesty has long since arranged for seating, so you can just go there and sit.”

Ordinary ministers had to stand there, but Linley didn’t need to.

Linley sat down peacefully, and Olivia was similarly invited by the court attendant to sit off to the side. There was awe in the gazes of the nobles and ministers in the great hall as they looked towards Linley and Olivia.

“Linley, who do you think His Majesty will choose?”

Under the gaze of the many nobles and ministers, Olivia was comfortable talking to Linley.

“My brother Walden, of course.”

Linley replied directly.

Olivia glanced at Linley, “I don’t think so……. Oh, His Majesty is here.”

Linley and Olivia both looked towards the door of the hall, and followed by the court attendants as well as the queen, concubines, and the seventh princess, His Majesty Joanne stepped into the great hall.
