It is good news that the Maelstrom channel is back under the control of the empire, but it is not too good.
After checking the condition of the passage, the expert of the Heavenly Mystery Technique specially sent by the imperial family announced with some helplessness that the passage had become very unstable. Although it was still possible to pass through, the danger was greatly increased. Ordinary strong people enter the tunnel, and there is a high possibility of falling in the tunnel.
The channel would not have weakened so quickly, but the Eternal Burning Flame obviously drew the power of the void around the channel to strengthen it. When the power of the ever-burning flame dissipated, the void around the passage became extremely violent, and the passage was like a thread in a storm, constantly drifting and swaying.
One way to make the channel stable again is to wait until the void calms down again. It will take time, and it will be a long time. No one knows how long it will take, maybe it will be long until the Eternal Night Army returns to the neutral land. Another way is that the empire also dispatched the king of heaven to re-strengthen the passage, so that the passage can be put into use again. It's just that after using it once, it will take longer to repair.
After the Heavenly Mystery Master of the imperial family put forward the second plan, all minds automatically ignored this option. The status of the emperor of the empire is extremely high, let alone these people present, even if the emperor of the empire has no proper reason, he can't move these supreme figures. Moreover, most of the people from various forces who need to enter the maelstrom were sent in the first time. Those who haven't entered until now, Dingtian is also a person from a low-rank family. Some of the aristocratic families have already sent four or five candidates in. Even if there are more places, it is difficult to find suitable candidates.
Up to now, most of the people who are still waiting in line to enter are of civilian origin. Naturally, there are many people who are not afraid of risks, and there are many people who desperately want to fight for their backgrounds, but no one will bother the king of heaven for these common people.
For those who have not yet entered the tunnel, there is only one person left that is really important, and that is Song Zining himself. But neither the imperial family nor the aristocratic family felt that Song Zining should go in and take risks. Qi Shao has amazing talents in military strategy and no longer needs to rely on personal force to prove himself.
The state of the channel at this moment can be said to have extinguished more than half of the joy of the victory. In the current situation, it is neither good to defend nor not to defend. Instead, it restrains a large fleet of the empire in a neutral place.
Such an embarrassing situation, but it lasted for a day.
A high-speed warship painted in light blue suddenly appeared in outer space, rushed into the East China Sea, and headed straight for Tingchao City.
The warships guarding the periphery of the empire made a commotion, and then lowered their guns. Because the high-speed battleship approaching was an imperial warship, and the painted emblem on it clearly showed its identity, the Beifu Legion.
In a blink of an eye, the imperial army seemed to be boiling, and warships lifted off one after another to meet them. There is no way to pay more respects for a moment.
Lin Xitang is still in charge of the Beifu Legion to this day, and this is his direct line brought up by him. Since Zhang Boqian was promoted to Heavenly King, Lin Xitang, who was once as famous as him, has faintly become the head of the top ten marshals, and also the most unfathomable figure. There are rumors that he is not far from the king of heaven. If he hadn't fought Lilith, the queen of the night, during the bloody battle and the battle of Fulu, he might have followed in the footsteps of Zhang Boqian and stepped into the realm of the king of heaven.
Even before becoming the Heavenly King, Lin Xitang was already recognized as the number one person in the Heavenly Secret Art by the whole empire, but because of the face of the Li family, he didn't announce it through the mouth of the emperor. This alone made Lin Xitang a character no one would want to mess with, even more difficult than the king of heaven. At least for the past year, no one knew Lin Xitang's true strength.
The combat power is close to reaching its peak, which makes up for Lin Xitang's last shortcoming. In terms of evidence, leadership, and strategy, who in the empire dares to say that Lin Xitang is a sure win? Even the right prime minister, who is in the limelight, has to be polite to Lin Xitang on the surface, and admits that he is not as good.
However, the imperial party, which was so rampant, listed Lin Xitang as the spiritual leader of the imperial party, completely forgetting the hostility not long ago. To them, it doesn't matter whether Lin Xitang is the real imperial party, as long as he doesn't deny it. And Lin Xitang didn't know whether it was because he didn't notice that there was such a thing, or he had other considerations, so he didn't publicly deny it.
At this moment, Lin Xitang has become an important figure in the empire. There are even rumors that he was the one behind the scene to promote the Battle of the Floating Land. If this campaign can be successfully won, then Lin Xitang has indeed become a figure of the first level of the national teacher, enough to be listed in the history.
The Beifu Legion is Lin Xitang's direct line, and also the only direct line, even the Red Scorpion is separated by a layer. The high-speed warship of the Beifu Legion obviously came on behalf of Lin Shuai. The families didn't care who the emissary was, they respected Lin Xitang.
Surrounded by a group of warships, the warships of the Beifu Legion slowly landed.
Song Zining was already waiting outside the ship, and when the hatch of the battleship opened, a general in the uniform of the Beifu Legion walked out of the hatch, looked around, laughed, and said, "This is the fucking scenery!"
This sentence was actually rather blunt, and tinged with rudeness and arrogance, but the heads of the various aristocratic families tolerated it for Lin Shuai's face, and saluted one after another: "Congratulations, General!"
Only a few people felt that the person standing on the gangway looked familiar, so they couldn't help but take a few more glances. It doesn't matter after seeing it, he immediately exclaimed: "Isn't this the son of Wei Hou!"
This cry suddenly woke up everyone, and they looked at it carefully. Looking at it this way, many people recognized it, the person who came was none other than the son of Far East Bowang Hou, Wei Potian.
Everyone hastened to salute again, and said in their mouths: "Welcome Bo Wanghou's son, General Qiyang!"
Wei Potian waved his hand, and said displeasedly: "What is Qiyang called? Call me Wei Potian!"
Many people know about Wei Shizi's habit. It's just that according to imperial etiquette, since Marquis Wei didn't officially change Wei Potian's name, changing his name privately is actually a big violation of etiquette. It's fine to do this in private, but it's not appropriate to call him Wei Potian in this public place. It is also possible if it is written by ginseng. It's just that the Wei family is a feudal marquis with great power and deep roots. Generally, Beijing officials have nothing to do, and no one would do such thankless things.
Therefore, everyone was a little embarrassed at this time, not knowing how to answer the conversation. Fortunately, a wise man immediately said: "Wei Shizi has worked hard all the way here." This sentence blurred the name, but everyone was happy. Everyone lost their reserve in an instant, and gathered around to flatter them, it can be said to be full of enthusiasm.
Different from Song Zining, Wei Potian was a genuine heir, and he established his status as an heir early on. In recent years, Wei Potian has achieved quite a good record in the Far East, and his own combat power has also improved by leaps and bounds. It can be said that the succession to the Marquis position is a certainty. This is the future Wei Hou, in terms of status, he does not know how much higher than the elders of the various families present.
What's more, Wei Potian also has a military uniform of the Beifu Legion on his body, which is even more imaginative. Is this a sign of the Wei family and Lin Shuai joining forces? So did the Wei family join the imperial family, or did Lin Shuai plan to leave the imperial party
This fact is of great importance, and all the leaders and elders have made up their minds to inquire carefully after returning. But the most important thing right now is to curry favor with the prince of Wei Hou. Among other things, Wei Potian is not yet married, and the position of Mrs. Wei Hou is still vacant, how can people not be jealous
Wei Potian in the crowd was all smiles and kept saying hello. Compared with the bloody Fang Gang back then, the current Wei Shizi is obviously much more skilled in welcoming and sending this set of things.
Song Zining stood still, but he couldn't avoid the fate of being noticed.
Wei Potian waved to him from afar, and said loudly, "Zining, you're here too? Hahaha, why are you standing so far away? We haven't seen each other for a long time, how can we not have a good time?"
Song Zining's face turned blue immediately, and he did not hide his displeasure. Strange to say, the depth of his city is no worse than that of any old fritters present, but seeing Wei Potian, no matter how you look at it, it is not pleasing to the eye, and I wish I could kick him back to the Far East. Especially this guy is still so flamboyant that he insists on calling it out in public.
The dignified Seventh Young Master greeted the envoys of the Beifu Legion and respected Commander Lin, not the wild boar from the Wei family.
But Song Zining stood still, but Wei Potian didn't intend to let him go, he kept waving his hands, and shouted, "Zining, why don't you come over? There are too many people to welcome here, and it's a bit crowded. But it doesn't matter, I I don't mind, haha!"
Beside him was the one who didn't know how to wink and beat the side drum, saying: "Seventh Young Master, the prince is calling you! Go over there quickly?" Seeing his envious expression, he wished he could replace him with his own body.
Song Zining was really helpless, walked over, grabbed Wei Potian's hand, and said with a smile, "Qiyang, it's been a long time!"
While calling Wei Potian's real name, which he was most reluctant to be mentioned, he strengthened his hands, ready to show this wild boar a little bit of color. Regarding cultivation, Song Zining had always been confident. He didn't seem to practice much, but in fact his cultivation followed Qianye's footsteps closely, and he was about to make a breakthrough recently. In comparison, Wei Potian is slightly inferior in terms of cultivation level and force level. In the secret fighting method of shaking hands and fighting for strength, what is fighting is the original force. How could Song Zining lose
But as soon as he grasped it, Song Zining was taken aback. It felt like he was holding a tiny mountain in his hand. Although it was small, it was extremely hard, and only flesh and blood could shake it. Moreover, the mountain is steep, the harder you use, the sharper your counterattack will be. The grip was so tight that Song Zining's hands were aching.
Song Zining judged the situation, and then slowly withdrew his strength, with a smile on his lips, and said, "It's been a long time since I've seen you, brother Qiyang's cultivation has improved again, this is really not easy. It seems that brother Qiyang's fortune is booming recently, if you don't seize the time to make contributions , What are you doing here in this poor country?"
With these words, Song Zining sneered that Wei Potian was just lucky, maybe he ran to the neutral land just after breaking through his cultivation.
Wei Potian naturally understood what he meant, he laughed, and said with a complacent face, "Zi Ning said a good thing, my luck is indeed very prosperous recently! Haha, no, I just got Lin Shuai's appointment not long ago." Face-to-face instruction, and then broke through several bottlenecks."
When everyone heard that Lin Xitang had personally instructed him, they were greatly envious, and hurriedly flattered him.
