"Your sister, did you see that? That little vendor selling accessories actually has the cultivation level of the Perfect Transmigration Stage."
"That's nothing. Look at that guy who kills pigs and that guy who buys vegetables. They both have reached the Great Accomplishment Stage."
Everyone was very surprised. They looked here and there. Fengyang City was indeed the imperial capital of Zhongyao Continent. It was prosperous and everyone practiced cultivation.
As Wutan walked, he extended his soul power and studied the city protection restrictions. In just a few breaths, he felt dizzy and his mind was confused.
Wutan quickly withdrew his soul power, shook his head and stopped studying it. The imperial-level restrictions were far beyond his ability to get involved in at the moment. If he delved into it too deeply, he might go astray.
At this time, a man in golden armor came galloping in front of him. When he came in front of Old Twelve, he bowed and said, "Senior, I am the commander of the guards beside His Majesty the Emperor. I am here to welcome you to your station under the order of the Emperor."
"kindness?"
Seeing this, everyone was stunned. What was going on? He had just been severely humiliated, but why didn't he bear a grudge and even sent someone to greet him? Was the emperor crazy
Including Wutan and others, they were also full of doubts and couldn't help but wonder what was hidden in the emperor's actions
"Let's go!"
The twelfth brother behaved most normally. He responded calmly and followed the man with the gold price.
…
In the center of Fengyang City, huge palaces are neatly arranged. They are majestic, splendid and imposing. The golden glazed tiles sparkle brightly in the sun, which is full of shock!
This is where the great Confucian royal family is located.
Inside, in a palace called "Jinhua Palace", the emperor sat on the dragon throne above, and the crown prince, the sixth prince, and the seventh prince stood side by side below.
"Father, they have humiliated my eldest brother and seventh brother in every way. Why don't you try to get rid of them? Instead, you order Jinfeng to go and welcome them? With this kind of flattering attitude, if you don't know, people would really think we are afraid of them!" The Sixth Prince was indignant.
"Sixth brother, don't mention this matter again!"
The Seventh Prince's face was as gloomy as water. Thinking of the previous scene, he couldn't help but get furious. As a prince, he was actually humiliated by a group of lowly people. For him, this was a great shame.
"A bunch of untouchables, just wait for me, I will make you pay with blood!" His eyes flashed with murderous intent and his tone was extremely cold.
"Shut up!"
The emperor slapped the armrest of the dragon throne, and the golden armrest turned into powder and scattered all over the ground. Then he swept his eyes back and forth over the two of them, half-leaning back on the chair helplessly, looking at the magnificent ceiling of the palace, lost in thought.
Seeing this, the prince said in a deep voice: "Sixth brother, seventh brother, please be patient. Father must have his reasons for doing this. Besides, there is no distinction between lowly people and nobles in the cultivation world. Everything is based on strength."
The emperor withdrew his gaze, looked at the Sixth and Seventh Princes for a long time, and sighed, "Do you know why your father made your eldest brother the crown prince instead of you?"
The Sixth Prince and the Seventh Prince looked at each other, bowed and said, "Please teach me, Father!"
"well!"
The emperor shook his head in disappointment and sighed again: "In your eyes, you already think of yourself as extremely noble and superior. You really don't want to think that in the eyes of major forces, such as the Forbidden Sect and the Weapon Sect, we are just puppets and ants, minions for them to make money."
The two princes were silent.
What my father said hit the nail on the head. As princes of the Confucian dynasty, they are of noble status. They are indeed arrogant and presumptuous. They look down on other people and call them untouchables!
However, this is only for ordinary people. For some big forces, even the existence of a unified Zhongyaozhou like the Great Confucian Dynasty is nothing and can be easily disintegrated.
In fact, they understand these principles, but after years of nurturing, these thoughts and personalities have become habits that cannot be changed in a short period of time.
"Your son will learn from your teachings!"
The two bowed respectfully.
Immediately, the Sixth Prince still said angrily: "But we can't boost others' ambitions and destroy our own prestige. We have been suppressed by the three major forces in Zhongyaozhou for many years, and now even outsiders don't take us seriously. If this really gets out, how can the Great Confucian Dynasty keep its face!"
Although there is a city protection ban, the people of Fengyang City are temporarily unaware of the previous embarrassing incident, but after all, paper cannot cover fire. One day, everything that happened outside the city will be heard by everyone. At that time, the great scholar and the royal family will become the topic of everyone's gossip.
As a prince of the dynasty, how can he go out to meet people? Isn't he going to be laughed at
"This incident was caused by my father's lack of consideration, which led to such a disaster. However, this also proves one thing, Qinglongzhou is not a monolithic entity. As long as we seize the opportunity, it will be much easier to seize the Tianyin Fruit."
The Sixth Prince frowned and said, "We didn't kill Wu Tian and Han Tian this time. Will the Hell City regret it and not give us a place?"
The prince smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry about this. His Hell City is only a first-rate sect in Qinglongzhou, which is more than a few levels lower than the Shura Palace. If it weren't for the fact that they have a Jue Yin Order, we can easily kill them!
Moreover, judging from this incident, there is a huge conflict between the two. After entering the Jueyin Ruins, the Shura Palace will definitely not let them go, so they need the help of the Great Confucian Dynasty.
Moreover, they deceived us first and did not tell us the true identities of Wu Tian and the other two, which led us to this situation. Based on this, they dare not regret it. "
The prince spoke eloquently, and all his previous unhappiness seemed to have disappeared. He looked like he had the situation in his hands, which made the emperor nod slightly in admiration.
"It's just fate. The Jueyin Ruins have been opened countless times since ancient times, but this has never happened. There are only nine Jueyin Orders in total.
Including the one in Hell City, Qinglongzhou has a total of six.
There are three remaining, one is held by the three major forces including the Forbidden Sect. One is held by the three major sects of the Southern Sparrow Continent, the Green Sect, the Void Sect, and the Sword Sect. The last one is held by the Ancient Tuo Temple and the Ghost Sect of the Western Tiger Continent. However, our Great Confucian Dynasty is about to rise, but we have not obtained any of them. Alas, it is really fate that plays tricks on us!"
The emperor sighed and rubbed his forehead with his big hands, looking quite tired.
After a while, the emperor raised his head, his eyes sparkling, and ordered: "You should immediately go to the major marquisates and noble families, gather the 25 strongest people, and prepare for secret training before departure. Especially the Wuhou Mansion. The old marquis has a son in his old age, and he regards Zhang Wang and Zhang He as treasures. When he learns about this, he will definitely be furious, and he will definitely kill Qinglongzhou and others at all costs."
"Yes, there is an unparalleled genius in the Wu Hou Mansion. The old marquis may send him here in a rage. With him in charge, as long as we enter the Jueyin ruins, not to mention the Tianyin Fruit, we will definitely be able to take all the other treasures into our pockets." said the Seventh Prince.
While the emperor and his four companions were discussing, in another luxurious palace, an old man with a childlike face, white hair and a healthy body was furious.
This person is Wu Hou!
Wu Hou is the most powerful person in the Great Confucian Dynasty except for the emperor. His strength is unfathomable. It is said that he is a genuine powerful person in the Divine Transformation Stage.
Moreover, everyone in Fengyang City knew about his protective character, which is why he created a nobleman like Zhang Wang who was arrogant, domineering and looked down on others.
At this moment, when he learned from the guards that his two precious sons were killed by outsiders and no trace was left, he could not help but let out a mournful howl to the sky. His anger and murderous intent soared to the sky, alarming the people within a hundred miles.
"How ridiculous! People from other continents are so bold that they actually killed my Wu Hou's people in broad daylight. If I don't take revenge, I will never be able to ease the hatred in my heart." A middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes sitting two rows of seats below Wu Hou roared continuously.
These people were all direct descendants of Wu Hou, and the old men in the lead were even Wu Hou's brothers. Now they learned that someone had dared to kill the sons of the Marquis' Mansion openly, which made them extremely angry.
"Qinglongzhou's Shura Palace is really outrageous. Who do they think they are? They come to my Fengyang City and kill people without authorization? I will kill them right now to avenge my two nephews!"
"Yes, anyone who kills others will be killed. It doesn't matter what Shura Palace it is. As long as they offend Wuhou Mansion, they will be killed!"
Several middle-aged men with bad tempers wanted to stand up and cause trouble for Shura Palace and others, but were stopped by Wu Hou. He thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "We can't rush this matter. It is said that Han Tian has the Ice Order in his hand. He must have a special relationship with the owner of the Ice Valley of Beixuanzhou. If we act rashly, we might attract those old guys."
"What should we do then? Did our two nephews die in vain?"
Wu Hou sneered: "My son will not die in vain!"
At this point, Wu Hou looked at the old man in white who was leading the group, and said in a murderous tone, "Brother, tell Wu Er and the third and fourth brothers to get ready. The emperor may come to pick them up soon. Remember, after entering the Jueyin Ruins, stealing treasures is a minor matter, but revenge is a major one. Anyone who encounters someone from the Shura Palace will be killed without mercy!"
"This is a brilliant move. No one outside can know what happened in the Jueyin Ruins. Even if we kill all of Hanbinggu and his men, and the Valley Master investigates, as long as we deny it flatly, she won't dare to do anything. Okay, I'll do it now!"
After saying this, the old man in white stood up, and wings of light appeared behind him. He turned into a stream of light and quickly disappeared.
…
The entrance to the Jueyin ruins is in the palace of the Daru royal family, but it does not belong to the Daru royal family. In fact, they are just a gatekeeper, guarding the entrance to the Jueyin ruins to prevent others from entering.
Wutan and others followed the man in golden armor, passing through the busy streets. It took them most of the day, and they were traveling at full speed, before they arrived at the center of Fengyang City.
What caught the eye was a giant city wall, about five meters high, like a giant black python lying on the ground.
On it stood guards in armor, gleaming in the sun. They looked straight ahead, alert to every move around them.
According to the man in golden armor, the city wall was built around the imperial palace to prevent outsiders from entering.
Moreover, this city wall has only one gate and people can only enter and exit through this gate.
As you enter the city gate, you will be dazzled by the magnificent and majestic palaces. Everywhere you go, there are lush vegetation, singing birds and fragrant flowers.
However, compared to the bustling outside, there were very few pedestrians here, with only a few guards standing sparsely on both sides of the road. It seemed much quieter and more elegant.
"The east leads to the Imperial Palace, and the west leads to the Jueyin Ruins' garrison. Please follow me."
The man in golden armor smiled and led everyone towards the camp.
It’s been a long time, the update has begun, please vote for me, friends!
