The general said, "The illusion you have entered is an ancient battlefield, and after entering the illusion, there will be a lighthouse within that ancient battlefield. The treasure is inside the lighthouse!"
As his words fell, a black hole surged within the entire training ground, appearing turbulent.
Seeing this, everyone present dared not take a step forward. The aura emanating from the black hole was extraordinary, and this illusionary competition was bound to be fierce.
Along the way, many people chose to give up, their hearts filled with despair. They knew that even if they entered the illusion, they might not obtain the ultimate treasure. In that case, it was better to give up directly and at least save their lives.
As a few figures withdrew from the competition, another large wave of people chose to give up. Although everyone wanted to become the驸马, they valued their lives more.
Princess Linglong stood to the side, her expression changing slightly. These people choosing to give up had a considerable impact on her.
After all, no matter what, she, Princess Linglong, was considered a beauty of unparalleled grace. To be abandoned by so many, wasn't that devaluing her? Thinking of this, Princess Linglong became quite angry.
"To win the princess's heart, I shall be the first to enter!"
Zhao Tianyun smiled and walked towards the black hole, appearing fearless. Having become a Spirit Emperor at such a young age, he was considered one of the best in the entire White Dragon Dynasty and would not care about such matters.
Seeing this, Li Guang did not hesitate and walked towards the black hole. Among these hundred people, they were the strongest. Under normal circumstances, the驸马 would naturally be selected from among them.
As time passed, more than ten figures had already entered the black hole. However, the other people present kept retreating, clearly unwilling to enter the black hole.
Princess Linglong looked at Lu Fan, her brow furrowed. "Is he afraid? If that's the case, then I overestimated him!"
"He shouldn't be. Since he came to participate in the competition, he won't give up."
Xiao Qing said, "Perhaps he has some concerns."
"What concerns could he have? Didn't Li Guang and the others go in?" Linglong said, instantly displeased.
Xiao Qing stood by the side, her face instantly awkward. What Princess Linglong said was indeed quite reasonable.
Just as the black hole was about to close, Lu Fan slowly walked towards it, his expression indifferent, without the slightest word.
Bai Hu sat on the VIP platform, eating the fruit in his hand. His expression suddenly changed, especially when he saw Lu Fan's figure. His anger surged. "How is this possible! How can this brat be in the imperial city!"
Elder Tian also looked over instantly. Upon seeing Lu Fan's figure, his expression also changed drastically. "Isn't this brat trapped in the Fire Domain? With the Azure Dragon guarding him, how could he escape?" Su Dan Novel Network
"Damn it."
Bai Hu said coldly, "The four Azure Dragons are still guarding the Fire Domain, but this brat is no longer there. Isn't this a tactic of luring the tiger away from its den?"
"I'll send a message immediately and have them withdraw from the Fire Domain!" Elder Tian said hastily. "Have them come to the imperial city and kill this brat completely."
"I think it's too late!" Bai Hu shook his head. "Others may not know his strength, but you should know it best. He can fight against a Venerable at such a young age. This time, he will surely win the top spot in the marriage selection assembly."
"This..."
Elder Tian's expression shifted. "If that's the case, does it mean he's going to become the驸马? If so, it would be very disadvantageous for the Young Master."
"I know that, of course. Therefore, we absolutely cannot let him succeed." Bai Hu said coldly, "If he becomes the驸马, I won't be able to touch him."
After Lu Fan entered the black hole, the entire teleportation array instantly disappeared. The crowd could only watch the various scenes of the ancient battlefield through the virtual screen.
Princess Linglong also watched with great interest. This time entering the ancient battlefield was quite dangerous. Those who could enter were indeed extremely courageous.
"Princess Linglong, long time no see!"
At this moment, Bai Hu appeared, a smile on his face.
"It's you!"
Linglong glanced at him. She had no good impression of this cousin.
Bai Hu had a history of bad deeds in the imperial city and was of poor character. Linglong had seen it with her own eyes and did not take such a person to heart.
"Today is the day of Cousin Linglong's marriage selection. I've come specifically to join the fun," Bai Hu said with a light laugh. "May I ask which one Cousin Linglong fancies?"
"It's none of your business who I fancy!" Princess Linglong said indifferently. "The Eighth Prince is not allowed to enter the capital without a summons. As the Young Master of the Eighth Prince's mansion, you should also abide by this. Why are you here in the imperial palace?"
"Cousin Linglong, I have good intentions!" Bai Hu said quickly. "Besides, the Eighth Prince's mansion is loyal to the royal family and would never dare to offend. Why must Cousin be so aggressive?"
"Who can say for sure!"
Linglong smiled faintly. "I heard that the Eighth Prince is recruiting soldiers and gathering many experts. Isn't it to deal with the royal family?"
"Cousin, be careful. You mustn't speak such words!" Bai Hu was startled.
If the Emperor knew about these words, their Eighth Prince's mansion would be ruined. After all, everyone knew that the various feudal lords posed a threat to the royal family. Once the Emperor became suspicious, it would cause endless trouble.
"Since you know, why are you still in the imperial city?"
Linglong smiled faintly. "I advise you to leave quickly. Don't cause trouble for the Eighth Prince's mansion."
Bai Hu frowned. Linglong's words clearly meant to drive him away. As a member of the royal family, he was naturally quite displeased.
However, Linglong was a princess, and he dared not offend her. Thus, he said with a fawning smile, "Cousin, I have no other intentions in coming to the imperial city. I just want to see this marriage selection. I am your cousin, after all. Please be accommodating."
Linglong rolled her eyes. "If that's the case, then behave yourself. If you do anything in the imperial city, I will not forgive you lightly."
"Certainly, certainly!" Bai Hu nodded quickly, looking dejected. He had wanted to say something bad about Lu Fan, but it seemed there was no opportunity. Princess Linglong did not seem to favor him.
Returning to the VIP platform, Bai Hu's face was cold, and he looked unhappy.
"Young Master, I think we should forget about it!" Elder Tian said. "That brat may not necessarily become the驸马. Princess Linglong's requirements are very high!"
"Better safe than sorry!" Bai Hu shook his head. "You should know very well that the brat knows I made a move against Bai Xi. If he becomes the驸马, he will definitely use it as an excuse."
"But the current situation is not in our favor," Elder Tian frowned.
