Chapter 564 - 564 | The Royal Edict!
The Capital of the Xin Kingdom was lively after last evening\'s surprise announcement by Prime Minister Fang.
However, many were discussing and pitying Gao Clan for their \'despearate\' decision to save themselves from getting kicked out of the \'Big Four\' clans.
But this news wasn\'t going to be the only thing that paused everyone in the city.
In fact, in the late morning, rumors suddenly began to circulate that King was going to announce something huge today.
No one knew how and who started it, but within a span of an hour, almost everyone in the Kingdom was anticipating the announcement.
Some said King Xin would speak himself. Others said it would be a Royal Edict, but no one had the confirmed answer.
They could only wait for the announcement.
And as they waited, there was a crowd outside of the Royal Palace.
With every passing moment, the crowd continued to grow exponentially, and by the time sun reached directly above its head, there was a huge sea of people waiting for the announcement.
It was not that they would miss the announcement if they didn\'t personally come here, but because they wanted to witness the edict with their eyes.
It\'s not every day that King Xin gave a Royal Edict. In fact, in the last two decades, this was going to be his second Royal Edict!
As the crowd waited in anticipation, the gates of the Royal Palace slowly opened up.
The huge gates slowly opened, and on the other side of the gates, the crowd saw a single man standing.
It was a young man with a very distinct figure and handsome face.
"Crown Prince!"
"It\'s Crown Prince!"
"Crown Prince Xin!"
It didn\'t take long for the cultivators within the crowd to identify the young man.
With a smile on his face and his head held high, the Crown Prince slowly stepped forward towards the crowd.
And with each step, the cheer amongst the crowd started to get louder and louder.
"Crown prince!"
"Crown Prince!"
"Crown Prince!"
One might believe that the cheers were heard throughout the Capital City, though this was untrue because the city was just too huge.
Crown Prince Xin Xue Feng smiled and raised his hand, silencing the crowd with a mere gesture.
"Everyone, I am your Crown Prince, Xin Xue Feng!" His Qi-induced voice was heard till the very last man in the crowd.
In fact, it was heard throughout the Capital City!
Unlike Prime Minister Fang, the Crown Prince wasn\'t restraining himself.
In fact, he was even using an artifact to make his voice louder so that he could get more and more people\'s attention.
And he did.
Even Ye Tian Yun and his group paused their practice upon hearing the voice.
It felt as if the Crown Prince was standing right beside them in the practice ground!
"Citizens of the Xin Kingdom," The Crown Prince spoke, "Pay respects to the Royal Edict!"
As he said, a royal scroll flew out of his hand, and with that, a majestic aura spread throughout the city, suppressing anyone facing it.
Almost everyone in the city had a sudden urge to kneel!
Though the case was a bit different in the Fang Clan\'s practice ground.
There was only one person who felt the pressure - Fang Yunru.
Ye Tian Yun frowned upon noticing this.
\'Bloodline Pressure.\'
There was bloodline pressure within the Royal Edict!
\'How pathetic!\'
Ye Tian Yun felt disdain towards the Xin Royal Family for using such a cheap trick.
A Bloodline Pressure is an inherent aura within the descendants of a powerful cultivator.
It\'s not used much because it signifies it\'s used in a bad light and is an indirect way of telling the world that they are superior.
In the Middle Heavens, no one used Bloodline Pressure, not even Emperor Ye, rather such a thing was frowned upon.
Ye Tian Yun sighed, and putting his hands on Fang Yunru\'s shoulder; he removed the suppressing Bloodline Pressure.
As for the rest, Jun Xie was nonchalant. Clearly, Butler Liu\'s bloodline was much more powerful than the Xin Royal Clans.
Zheng Xiang also didn\'t show any change in expression, making Ye Tian Yun remember the fact that once the former had mentioned something about his bloodline.
Wu Qingwu also didn\'t show any discomfort, though there was indeed a frown on her face. She also had a bloodline similar to the Xin Royal Clan since she was the princess of the enemy kingdom.
But the one who surprised Ye Tian Yun most was Bai Qing\'er. This young lady was even more nonchalant! In fact, she was looking at others in confusion.
Clearly, she hadn\'t even felt the presence of pressure!
\'What kind of bloodline is it?\'
Ye Tian Yun couldn\'t help but think. It was obviously the most powerful amongst the group!
Just as Ye Tian Yun was mulling over his thoughts, the pressure began to decrease, and a voice was heard throughout the Royal Capita;!
"My citizens!" This was a middle-aged man\'s voice, "Hear my Edict!"
It was King Xin!
"With this edict, I announce the end of our war with the Wu Kingdom!"
BOOM!
His words were like a thunderclap to the people of the capital.
But before they could react, King Xin dropped another bombshell.
"I do not want any more innocent lives to be lost in the ravages of war. Thus, the Crown Prince has come up with an agreement with the Wu Kingdom."
"And that is, it will be the younger generation who will decide the result of this war!"
"And the battlefield for this will be the Grand Spirit Hunt!"
"So hear, my Edict, anyone below the age of twenty is welcome to take part in the Grand Spirit Hunt!"
"Six months from now, the Wu Kingdom and Xin Kingdom\'s younger generation will go against each other and decide the future of the kingdom!"
"Unlike the past matches, everyone can participate! No matter what your background will be!"
"In six months, come to the Barren Lands!
"Rise to the challenge, prove yourself and cement your status in the eyes of the people of Lower Heavens!"
"And the most talented young man…. Shall become my son-in-law and marry my daughter, Xin Xue Qing!"
