The empress Qi Xi sits on the main seat in the center at the end, and the guests on both sides closest to her are the palace masters from the four directions.
Fu Cangxuan, the master of Dongyue Palace, is an old man with white hair and squinting eyes who carries a long sword on his back. He sits quietly and never makes a sound. Sitting next to him is Jiang Yi, the master of Nanlin Palace. She holds a folding fan and smiles.
The people sitting on the opposite side are Changyang, the master of the North Temple, and Chidi, the master of the West Desert Temple. Both of them had rebellious intentions, which was clear without Qi Xi seeking out the information.
Especially for the palace master of the Western Desert, to simply establish an emperor on his own is tantamount to standing on the opposite side of the empress Qi Xi.
As for the next seats, they are the head and elders of the Ji family.
This is not so much a quarrel between the younger generation of Ji Huang and Ye An... But in fact, anyone can see that today will not be simple. In fact, the two parties do have different intentions.
The air seemed heavy and oppressive.
Although several people in the field were whispering, they did not dare to speak too loudly, and some even only dared to communicate with their eyes.
After all, even the temple empress and the master of the Sifang Palace had serious expressions on their faces, and they all looked unhappy.
As the eldest son of the Ji family, Ji Huang is the only original protagonist in the past thousand years who has the most mellow Xuanyuan blood and can wield the Xuanyuan Divine Sword.
There were no seats in the vast hall of the old house.
However, Ji Huang didn't care much. With a calm smile on his face, he walked to the center of the hall, leaned over slightly, raised his hands and said respectfully:
"Your Majesty the Empress, seniors... I am extremely honored to be able to come to the Ji family this time to witness the battle between me and the current Holy Son."
"For this reason, with the consent of my father and elders, I have carefully selected and presented you with a small gift. It is not disrespectful. Please forgive me, seniors."
After finishing his words, Ji Huang waved his hand slightly and saw a group of maids walking slowly outside the door.
Each of them held a gift box in their hands, which was made of sandalwood. Although it looked simple, it also revealed the aura of heavenly materials and earthly treasures inside.
Everyone present in the temple has this ceremony.
Qi Xi held his chin in his hand, with a lazy expression and sleepy eyes, calmly watching the maid bring the gift box in front of him.
She opened it with interest, and in an instant, a faint light flickered and the fragrance of medicine spread.
In the gift box is a pill.
An ordinary beauty pill. At least, that's the case for Qi Xi. She doesn't need beauty pills to maintain her appearance, which is more suitable for Jiang Yi.
However, the gift Jiang Yi received was indeed a beauty pill.
At this moment, I heard Chi Di, the master of the West Desert Palace, smile heartily: "This is not a small gift."
What was given to the Red Emperor was not a gift box, but a sword.
The hilt of the sword was carved into a dragon's head, and the sword's entire body was red, like a faintly burning firework. And around the sword body, the air was slightly twisted, as if there was a cluster of fireworks burning in it.
"Chi You Sword! Although it is only a low-grade heaven-level sword, but... the Ji family is really interested in it."
The Red Emperor held the fingers of the sword in his hand and gently brushed the blade.
It was obvious that he loved this sword very much. Not only because of its heavenly rank, but more importantly, because of its meaning.
Qi Xi's eyes drooped slightly. He knew the meaning without saying it clearly.
Since taking office as the Holy Son, if anyone dares to be the first to raise the flag of rebellion, it is undoubtedly the Red Emperor.
The other three palace masters in the Sifang Land, as well as the elders who came with them, and even the maid Yue'er who came to wait by the side, all received gifts from the Ji family.
Each gift was exactly what they had always wanted but had yet to find.
This is not a small gift. It can be said that it has almost reduced the Ji family's property by another 30 to 40%!
Qi Xi could see that the head of the Ji family and the elders of the Ji family sitting at the end were all ashen-faced. But the strange thing is that they are clearly Ji Huang's elders, but they allow Ji Huang to squander the family property wantonly.
"This great gift...not bad!"
At that time, I heard Dongyue Fu Cangxuan holding his white beard and saying with a smile: "This time I am refining the elixir, there is still one Xuanyin Ice Flower that I have not been able to find. Today's young people are... pretty good."
He repeated the word 'not bad' again.
Together with the sounds of the surrounding people, they sounded at the same time.
With a smile on his face, Ji Huang successfully won the favor of the Sifang Palace Master and all the elders again with the remaining nearly 50% of the Ji family's property.
But at the same time, he also noticed the appearance of Empress Qi Xi, who obviously didn't care about the gift of beauty pills.
This is so normal. How much nostalgia does a demi-god have for human things? But the more this happened, the more intense Ji Huang's admiration for the empress became, and he did not even dare to raise his head and look at Qi Xi.
Ji Huang moved the wooden chair on his own, and with everyone's tacit permission, it finally had a place.
However, he did not sit down immediately.
Instead, he still stood in the center of the hall, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty the Empress, fellow palace masters and seniors, before noon is about to come, I have a heartfelt request for you."
Qi Xi sat on the main seat, staring down at Ji Huang.
Although her eyes were calm and there was a hint of contempt. But in my heart, I couldn't help but feel more worried.
The agreed time is today's noon, and it will arrive soon. But until Ji Huang gave the gift and was about to make a request, Ye An still hadn't arrived. Who knows what he was doing
Although Qi Xi was anxious and resentful in his heart.
But with a calm face, she just responded to Ji Huang casually, "Say."
Ji Huang nodded slightly and said: "The rules of the battle originally set by the junior and the Holy Son are to be fulfilled."
"But the juniors want to change the rules."
"In other words, cancel the rules. That is, regardless of life or death, regardless of means, until one party dies in battle. Only in this way can we show our sincerity."
Qi Xi couldn't help but smile contemptuously, "Sincerely?"
Ji Huang nodded firmly and said, "Exactly."
Although it was not stated clearly in the public challenge letter, Ji Huang never mentioned his name.
But in fact, everyone knows that the person Ji Huang admires is the current empress. And the person who admired Ye An was undoubtedly related to Qi Xi, and she naturally knew this.
Even the masters of the Sifang Palace mostly have the attitude of just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.
Especially after receiving the gift box from the Ji family, they already supported Ji Huang's decision.
At this time, Ji Huang said again: "Of course, if Your Majesty loves the Holy Son. This unkind invitation..."
Qi Xi felt bored, waved his hand and said casually: "When the Holy Son arrives, you can discuss it with him."
In fact, it doesn't matter whether Ye An is present or not.
The Heavenly Tribulation Array has been set up, and in the past two or three days, she has identified the remnants of the Crescent Sect in the Zhongzhou Temple.
There is no need to think too hard about many things. Just like the previous Holy Son was purged 20 years ago, using the body of a god to do justice for heaven, annihilating the rebel party, and clearing out the remaining remnants of the Crescent Sect, everything will be peaceful.
However, at this moment, the leader of the West Desert Palace, Chi Di, came forward in public and said sarcastically: "Noon has arrived, but the Holy Son has not arrived... There is no need to discuss this rule. Why not just count the Holy Son as abstaining? ?”
