"Dear guests from the Tang Kingdom, this is the capital of our White Lotus Kingdom, Bailian City.
This city was rebuilt after the old Bailian City was destroyed, and it has a history of three thousand years. "
Le Fan said to everyone with a smile.
Ye Li was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that this city had such a long history.
Afterwards, Liaofan led the delegation into the city.
In the center of the city, a huge snow-white palace was built on a high platform far above the ground in the city. This huge palace could be seen from afar as soon as you entered the city.
The palace is snow-white all over, and the platform below is a white lotus platform with a faint green glow, which looks somewhat sacred.
"That's the White Lotus Palace. I haven't been here for many years."
Huo Xing spoke up.
Le Fan led the delegation towards the Bailian Palace and soon arrived in front of the palace.
Under the high platform surrounding the huge palace, there are two huge golden statues standing on each side. These statues are all sculptures of humans wearing armor.
However, these human-shaped sculptures look very strange, because some of them have four faces and eight arms, while others have three eyes and fangs. In short, none of them are normal human images.
Suddenly, Ye Li suddenly remembered that when he saw the White Lotus Nation team fighting in the Water Soul Seal Land, the huge golden shadow condensed by a special talisman seemed to be exactly the same as one of the eight statues.
“These are the Eight Celestial Dragons of my White Lotus Nation, representing the Eight Guardian Heavenly Kings, all of whom are powerful creatures from the ancient times in legends.
He is also the guardian of the first White Lotus Saint according to legend."
Le Fan introduced this to the members of the delegation including Ye Li.
Huo Xing knew these legends, but others were not clear about them.
There are not many members in the diplomatic delegation this time, only ten people in total.
In addition to the carriage that Ye Li and his companions were riding, there were two other carriages that were carrying some precious items, which were also gifts from the Tang Kingdom to the Bailian Kingdom.
The other members of the delegation were only responsible for presenting gifts and accompanying. The only ones who would actually participate in the audience with the Holy Lord White Lotus were Ye Li and Huo Xing.
Le Fan arranged the other members of the delegation to rest at the post station next to the Bai Lian Palace. After receiving the gift list and gifts, he prepared to report to the White Lotus Saint that the Tang delegation had arrived.
Ye Li and Huo Xing were waiting at the gate of Bailian Palace for the time being.
Le Fan walked into the White Lotus Palace and soon found the White Lotus Saint.
"Holy Lord, the Tang Dynasty's envoys have arrived."
Le Fan said to Saint Bai Lian.
The White Lotus Saint looks like a kind-hearted old man. He is a bit old and his face is full of wrinkles and white hair. However, his rosy face and the spirit in his eyes make him look not old at all.
"Are they here already? Who is leading the team this time? Huo Xing, right?"
Saint Bai Lian asked in a low voice.
Liao Fan shook his head and said, "It is said that Huo Xing and a young man named Ye Li are leading the team, but from my observation, it seems that Ye Li is the real leader."
"Ye Li, who is this person? Why haven't I heard of him?"
Saint Bai Lian asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Le Fan shook his head and said, "In fact, I have only heard a little bit about this guy. He is said to be the strongest among the younger generation in Tang State and has reached the level of Talisman Emperor.
But even if he reaches the level of Fu Huang, he should not be above Huo Xing and become the real leader! "
Saint White Lotus frowned and said, "The purpose of these Tang people coming here is to form an alliance. Li Rushan has been forced into a desperate situation. He has no choice but to form an alliance with us.
I thought he would personally come to our country to ask for cooperation this time, but I didn't expect that he would send an unknown junior. He really doesn't take our White Lotus Country seriously."
Hearing his words, Liao Fan was stunned for a moment and said, "I feel the same way. Not to mention that Li Rushan will come in person, he should at least send one of his senior subordinates here.
Now he has sent a junior who has almost no reputation. I guess he looks down on us a little.
Holy Lord, the Tang Kingdom looks down on us so much, should we still form an alliance with them?"
Saint White Lotus glanced at Fan and said, "Forming an alliance is something that Li Rushan has no choice but to do, and it is the same for us.
Li Rulin occupied one third of the land of the Tang Kingdom and joined forces with the Yuan Kingdom. Now he has forced Li Rushan into a desperate situation.
Once Li Rushan is defeated, the Tang Kingdom will fall completely into the hands of Li Rulin.
Do you think our Bailian Kingdom can resist the combined strength of the Great Yuan Kingdom and the Tang Kingdom? ! ? I don’t know what the civil strife in the Great Yuan Kingdom is all about. How could Bie Zhesha ascend to the throne so easily, and even get involved with Li Rulin
The Tang Dynasty was in turmoil, and the Yuan Dynasty should have let them fight each other. It is obvious that they have greater ambitions by joining forces now. Could it be that they want to combine the power of the two countries and annex the entire continent?"
Saint Bai Lian said speculatively.
Le Fan looked at him in shock and said, "Holy Lord, if those two really have this idea, we really only have the choice of cooperating with Li Rushan."
Saint White Lotus nodded and said, “That’s right, Li Rushan must have known this, so he dared to send some people to request an alliance.
Humph, I can form an alliance with him, but we don't have to give him face. Isn't the Lotus Festival coming soon? Let's find a chance to make them look bad.
The Great Yuan and Tang Kingdoms have always ignored our White Lotus Kingdom. Li Rushan is struggling in a desperate situation now and still dares to hold the same attitude. We can't spoil him too much."
After Saint White Lotus finished speaking with a gloomy face, he waved his hand and said, "Go and invite them in. You can arrange the next things."
When Le Fan heard this, his eyes rolled and he quickly responded and saluted.
After Saint Bai Lian watched Lu Fan leave, the gloomy look on his face suddenly turned into a kind look, with a bright and sacred aura in his eyes.
After Le Fan walked out of the White Lotus Palace, he looked at Ye Li and Huo Xing with a smile and said, "Excuse me for keeping you two guests waiting. The Holy Lord was just dealing with government affairs and has just had some free time. He asked me to invite you in."
Ye Li and Huo Xing nodded, without any doubt, and followed Le Fan into the White Lotus Palace.
As he stepped into the palace, a strange fragrance hit him in the face, and Ye Li suddenly felt peace in his heart.
There were incense burners and candlesticks everywhere in the White Lotus Palace, emitting thin wisps of smoke.
The furnishings in the palace were simple and ancient. There were murals on the walls and ceiling of the palace, all of which were depicted with various expressions and solemn appearances.
Ye Li didn’t know these people, but he thought they might be the saints of the White Lotus Kingdom or some important figures.
