Even though the stormy seas were scary, their powers were scattered. They only needed to find a single point to break through. However, the water dragon tornado had focused all of its power into one, its power astonishing.

Mu Xiaoling felt a strong suction force that seemed to be able to suck her in at any time. She frowned as her gaze moved past the water tornado and landed on Xu Yi's face.

Xu Yi was panting heavily, the color of his blood drained from his face. It was obvious that this water dragon had consumed most of his strength.

She flipped through the body of the Ancient Cultivator Fox. The Ancient Cultivator Fox understood her meaning and attempted to dodge the water tornado. However, the water tornado seemed to have its eyes on her and couldn't shake her off no matter what.

"Let's go back." Mu Xiaoling pulled back his ancient looking fox and with a slight tap of his feet, he appeared in front of Xu Yi in the blink of an eye.

Xu Yi was caught off guard and was about to defend himself when the water dragon behind him arrived and pulled the two into it.

Indeed, this tornado did not distinguish between friend or foe.

Mu Xiaoling made a guess in her heart as she firmly held onto Xu Yi's waist, unwilling to let go even if she died.

She didn't need to do anything. It was enough as long as she tightly held onto Xu Yi.

As expected, Xu Yi naturally knew the power of this water dragon tornado. If this continued, he would definitely accompany this girl to death. He had no choice but to recall his judge pen and disperse the water dragon tornado.

"Thank you very much." Mu Xiaoling said softly as he stomped Xu Yi down from the stage.

Xu Yi lost.

The emperor laughed out loud. "This is the most spectacular battle of martial arts I've ever seen. Ling Kingdom is indeed a great country. There are indeed many talented people here."

Xiao Yu said, "The Yan Emperor is too kind. In the end, the Yan Kingdom is one step ahead of us."

However, Xiao Qi was not angry. "He's cheating. How can he let Senior Brother deal with his own water tornado?"

Xu Yi walked over, his face was full of excitement, as if he was not at all disappointed: "As the saying goes, 'I am not tired of fighting, but I have lost.' However, I understand the weakness of the water dragon.

"Hmph." Xiao Qi snorted in dissatisfaction, but since Xu Yi had said so, he couldn't care less.

When Mu Xiaoling returned to her seat, everyone's eyes lit up.

The emperor and Xiao Yu flattered each other for a while before coming back to look at Mu Xiaoling. "We said that we must reward you heavily. It's just that Miss Feng is a woman with a high status and is not suited for normal things." The Emperor thought and thought and whispered a few words to the eunuch.

Not long later, the eunuch returned with a small square box.

The emperor nodded and the eunuch brought the box to Mu Xiaoling. He then opened it in front of the crowd.

Inside the box was a black pellet that was emitting a faint profound light.

The eunuch replied, "This is the Seven Holy Pellet. After consuming it, one can increase one's true essence by two levels, and it is only effective for martial artists."

Mu Xiaoling received the elixir. "Thank you, your majesty."

Princess Qianyang didn't care at first, but when she heard the name of the pill and saw that it was indeed a Seven Saint Pill, she instantly became unwilling. "Imperial Father, there is only one Seven Saint Pill in the entire Yan Kingdom. Didn't you say you would keep it for me?"

Embarrassment flashed across the emperor's face, "Qianyang!"

Qian Yang shouted, "I don't care, royal father doesn't care about me anymore. That Seven Saint Pill is mine!"

The emperor would never have thought that the problem was not in the martial arts competition, but in his own family. However, Qian Yang was his most beloved daughter, and he had grown up in such a pampered fashion that he couldn't bring himself to say it out loud, "Qian Yang, shut up!"

"I don't care, what kind of thing is she? What right do you have to fight with me for it!" Qian Yang roared in anger.

The emperor's face was as black as ink as he glared at the guards beside him. "Are you all blind? Hurry up and bring Qian Yang away!"

"This Dowager feels that Your Majesty's actions are inappropriate." How could the empress dowager bear to be treated like that? She pulled him behind her.

"Royal Grandmother." Qianyang was indeed frightened out of her wits by the emperor. She hid behind the empress dowager and cried out in grievance, tears on the verge of flowing down her face.

The empress dowager patted Qian Yang's hand and comforted him, "Qian Yang is not afraid, but my grandmother is still here. This Dowager wants to see who dares to make things difficult for you."

The emperor felt a headache coming. Before he ascended the throne, his mother was someone he couldn't carry around. Given the current circumstances, as long as the diplomatic mission of Ling was still around, it was fine if they didn't help him out.

The empress dowager replied, "Isn't it just a single pill? If you bring it back, you can take a look at anything else you want."

The emperor's face darkened as he said, "Imperial Mother, there's no need to joke. This matter is not child's play."

"What kind of nonsense is this?" The empress dowager disapproved as she patted Princess Qian Yang's chest in consolation. She was about to cry again when she said to the emperor, "Qianyang is like a golden branch or jade leaf. Not to mention a medicinal pill, even if you were to marry Ling Wang, you would still be qualified. How could those average people compare to my Qianyang?"

The emperor wanted nothing more than to drag the empress dowager and Princess Qianyang down with him. If he really did so, there would be an unfilial hat placed on his head soon enough, followed by the rebellion of the other great families.

Xiao Qi scoffed, "We have witnessed the formal style of your country, it's really untouchable."

Xu Yi nodded in agreement: "Indeed, it is excessive. Miss Feng just made a contribution for your country and has just given it a reward, yet she wants to go back. There is indeed no such person."

Being spoken to in such a manner by the people of Ling Country, the Emperor felt as if a resounding slap had landed on his face, and his expression became even more gloomy.

The empress dowager's face was also unsightly. "Regarding my Yan Guo, doesn't your Ling Kingdom interfere a bit too much? Besides, there's also a difference in seniority and inferiority. If you're sensible, you should have let me handle it a long time ago." As he spoke, he glanced at Mu Xiaoling.

Mu Xiaoling felt like she was watching a big show. It was really interesting. She said slowly, "It won't be difficult for me to give up this pill."

Qian Yang's face lit up. She had originally planned to use the Seven Saint Pill. She was only a Level 3 Martial Disciple. If she used the pill, she would immediately reach Level 5, and the chances of her marrying Duke Ling would be higher.

Actually, her royal father had mentioned the matter of the marriage to her before the diplomatic mission from the Ling Kingdom entered the capital. It was just that she thought that Prince Ling must not be that handsome, and might even be an old man.

Not only that, but his strength was also extremely high. It was said that he was already in the Martial Spirit realm.

How could Princess Qianyang let go of such a good person? He should be her husband, and there was no one who was worthy of him like her.

He stole a glance at Duke Ling before shifting his gaze to Mu Xiaoling. With a magnanimous voice, he said, "Rest assured, I will definitely have my royal father compensate you."

"I haven't finished speaking, so why are you so worried, Princess Qianyang?" Mu Xiaoling poured a cup of wine for herself before taking a sip. "It's not difficult for me to give up the pill. As long as the princess fights with me and you win, I'll give the Seven Sage Pill to you with both hands."
