The Empire had a large array to protect the city and country, as well as a battle array that gathered the strength of the common people. This was to keep the experts of the hidden sects in check and prevent them from provoking the country and affecting the prestige of the Imperial Family.
But what if they sneaked in and assassinated?
There was simply no one who could withstand it.
Even if it was to assassinate an emperor, the success rate was extremely high.
Originally, Dongfang Ding thought highly of Jiang Tian, and even wanted to make him the Imperial Preceptor. But now, he wanted nothing more than to avoid Jiang Tian like he was a viper. He wanted to stay as far away from Jiang Tian as possible.
"No. He still has some value. We can use him to intimidate the feudal lords and collect their tributes to make up for the empty treasury. We can also use him to destroy the Yao Race. We can even weaken the feudal lords and abolish the feudal system! "
Dongfang Ding forced himself to calm down and straightened his clothes. He glanced at the stunned feudal lords and smiled. "Why are all of you so afraid? Imperial Advisor has killed the Purple Marquis and quelled the rebellion. That is great news! Why don't we go and welcome him? "
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"We will set out immediately to welcome the new Imperial Advisor!"
The feudal lords were all shrewd people. Seeing that Dongfang Ding didn't mention anything about Su Xiaotang's death, they understood that if one day the Luo Ying Sect asked about it, Dongfang Ding would pretend to know nothing about it and push all responsibility away.
But a trace of worry appeared on Fang Jinlong's face.
Although the Purple Marquis had been quelled, the Empire's peace would not last for long!
The Yao Race and feudal lords were Dongfang Ding's mortal enemies.
Moreover, Dongfang Ding was extremely good at manipulating people. He would probably use Jiang Siqing as a killing knife to cut off his own obstacles.
Although Fang Jinlong had only met Jiang Tian once, after understanding some of Jiang Tian's deeds, he had a very good impression of Jiang Tian.
In fact, with Jiang Tian's strength, even if he went to the Holy Land Divine Sect, he could become an Elder and a giant. In terms of cultivation resources, the Holy Land Divine Sect definitely surpassed the secular Imperial Dynasty. But Jiang Tian stayed in the Zhenyuan Marquis' residence and fought for the Lin Clan. This was too righteous.
Most importantly, Fang Jinlong was the same as Lin Hanqing. Although he was a duke, he was not selfish and was loyal to the dynasty and empire. Seeing that Jiang Tian had quelled the flames of war and saved the people of the Empire from suffering, he admired Jiang Tian even more.
When Dongfang Ding respectfully welcomed Jiang Tian, it was an unprecedentedly grand occasion. The Soaring Heavenly Horses pulled the chariot, forming a long line in the sky. The imperial canopy was like the clouds, and the treasure light was like the stars. The welcoming party was several thousand meters long.
"Junior Dongfang Ding welcomes the Imperial Advisor, Mister Jiang Siqing!"
"Thank you, sir, for pacifying the rebels, protecting the country, reversing the collapse of the sky, and saving millions of people from the fire and water!"
Facing Jiang Tian from afar, Dongfang Ding bowed deeply and reverently, carrying out the etiquette of a disciple, like a believer meeting a god.
He was also holding a large seal in his hands and a bright yellow triangular flag in his hands!
The seal of the Imperial Protector!
The flag of the State Protector!
It represented the supreme authority.
His status and power were higher than the many princes and ministers, the four dukes, and even the Grand Tutor of the Crown Prince. He was second only to the Emperor of a country!
In other words, even the Crown Prince and Princess would have to bow respectfully when they saw him, as if he was their teacher.
The Imperial Advisor was on the same level as the Emperor!
He was truly second only to one person and above millions!
"Bestow the main city of Jiang Han City and ten other cities, as well as the subsidiary territories, as the Imperial Advisor's fief!"
"Bestow the Imperial Garden and the Overlooking River Residence as the Imperial Advisor's residence!"
…
In addition, there were also ceremonial officials holding the title deeds of the fief, the Imperial Advisor's residence, and the crystal bills in their hands, loudly announcing the summons!
The amount of the crystal bills was extremely terrifying. It was the amount of the Imperial Treasury's ten years of expenditure, but it was all given to Jiang Tian!
The size of the fief was even more terrifying. The fiefs of the Purple Marquis, Jiang Tian, Marquis of Shanshui, and the others were all counted as Jiang Tian's!
The Overlooking River Residence was the Crown Prince's residence, occupying a spiritual vein. Although it was not as good as the Imperial Palace, it was definitely far better than the residences of the various dukes!
Because of that, everyone was stunned by the scene before them.
"This, this, this, the Crown Prince is actually being saluted as a disciple!"
"Has he been promoted to the Imperial Advisor?"
"The Crown Prince said it in public, this is equivalent to announcing it to the world!"
"What an honor this is!"
"Also, the Overlooking River Residence was originally the Crown Prince's private property, right? It is his favorite. It is said that he had accumulated and built it for 50 years. I don't know how many Array Masters, Rune Masters, and skilled craftsmen had spent endless efforts to complete it! And now, he has bestowed it to Jiang Siqing. "
Everyone could not believe it. They sighed and were extremely envious.
"The Crown Prince … really knows how to win people's hearts!"
Even Fang Jinlong was stunned, as if he had fallen into a dream.
He knew that the Crown Prince was good at winning people's hearts, but he did not expect him to spend so much. Especially the Overlooking River County, which was elegant and beautiful, like a celestial palace, extremely exquisite. Dongfang Ding loved it to the extreme, but he was willing to part with it!
"You know what? Jiang Siqing is a mighty figure of our Black Sun Sector! "
"An itinerant cultivator from outside the Milky Way Galaxy defending the position of Imperial Advisor. This is the first time a new world has been created! "
In the crowd, Guo Chuandong was so excited that all the fat on his body trembled. He was so proud that tears flowed down his cheeks as he spoke to the guests of the Lin Family.
He had never felt so proud in his life.
In fact, he was not even this excited when he ascended to the Nascent Soul Stage and defended the position of Heavenly Lord in his homeland.
Jiang Tian was slightly taken aback. He did not expect Dongfang Ding to still be willing to rope him in after he had killed Su Xiaotang of the Luoying Sect.
He had killed Su Xiaotang because he felt that his dead self, Jiang Tian, had made too much of a fuss and was too famous. It was not good for him to experience the world of mortals, and it was not good for him to avoid being observed by the giants of the Nine Heavens!
Other than the Purple Marquis, Lin Hanqing no longer had any enemies in front of him.
Therefore, Jiang Tian wanted to leave.
He wanted to use another identity to start a new life.
Therefore, he wanted to kill Su Xiaotang so that the shrewd Crown Prince Dongfang Ding would give up on trying to rope him in.
This result was very surprising to him.
Crown Prince Dongfang Ding was still unwilling to give up!
However, for an old monster like Jiang Tian who had lived two lives, there was nothing he had not seen before.
He would deal with whatever came his way.
You have a good plan, I have a wall ladder.
I can fight, no matter how many schemes you have, it is useless.
The initiative will always be in my hands!
Therefore, after a slight surprise, Jiang Tian immediately regained his composure.
He supported Dongfang Ding with his hands from afar and said with a smile, "You're right.
"Thank you, Your Majesty and Crown Prince, for your kindness. Although I am an itinerant cultivator outside the river, I do not dare to forget the country. Since I have come to live in the Empire, I should treat this place as my second home. Isn't it right for cultivators to fight for their homeland? "
"Do not dare to forget the country? Sir, your words are not only good, but also thought-provoking. "
On the side, Eldest Princess Mo Yu looked at Jiang Tian in a daze and could not help but sigh with emotion.
"It would be impolite to refuse!"
Jiang Tian also accepted the many rewards calmly.
This time, Jiang Tian quelled the rebellion of the southern vassals led by the Purple Marquis without bloodshed. He was conferred the position of Imperial Advisor, and his name shook the world and the entire Eastern Empire.
