With Zhao Hai's departure, the Ice Jade Country regained its calm. For the people of the Ice Jade Country, what happened a while ago was very inexplicable. First, a white light appeared in the Imperial Palace. Then, the Luminescent Prince and the other Great Clans were dealt with by Yu Yunlong. This was especially true for the Luminescent Prince. His entire family was killed in the name of rebellion. One must know that rebellion was a very sensitive crime. The people of the Ice Jade Country still remembered Yu Feilong's rebellion, and the Ice Jade Country almost went through a change.
However, the incident this time was resolved rather quickly. Luminescent King was eliminated, and all the major clans were arrested. After that, nothing else happened. Everyone went on with their lives as if this incident was just a trivial matter. Even on the streets, no one was discussing this incident. It was as if this incident had never happened.
Ordinary people might not understand what was going on, but they also had their own wisdom. When they saw that nobody was talking about this matter, they knew that there must be something else going on. Therefore, they didn't talk about it either. This way, the matter was suppressed.
Actually, anyone with a discerning eye could see that this matter was suppressed by Yu Yunlong and the other great clans. As for the reason, nobody knew, and nobody wanted to know. The current situation in the Arctic Ocean Continent was changing, nobody knew what to do. So it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble. Naturally, nobody talked about this matter.
Two days after this incident, the Ice Jade Country welcomed the Thick Earth Continent's emissary. This time, Yu Yunlong sent the head of the Ministry of Rites to greet them. However, the head of the Ministry of Rites changed, it wasn't Fang Hua, but someone else.
This time, the Thick Earth Continent's emissary was a total of ten people. This number wasn't large, but it wasn't small either. These people were directly invited to the Imperial Palace. Tang Ming was still waiting for them in front of the Imperial Palace's main hall.
The people who came this time were really from the Thick Earth Continent. The leader was a middle-aged man in his forties. He wore a yellow robe and held a magic staff in his hand. His skin was very white and his eyes were shining. He gave off a very shrewd and capable feeling.
Tang Ming could feel a trace of arrogance from this person. However, Tang Ming didn't say anything. He just led this person to the main hall and then retreated to the side.
As soon as this person entered the hall, he immediately led the people from the Thick Earth Continent to salute Yu Yunlong and said, "Envoy of the Thick Earth Continent, Wu Bin, greets your Majesty."
Yu Yunlong looked at Wu Bin and smiled faintly, "Mister Wu, there's no need to be so polite. Come, give him a seat." The young eunuch brought chairs to Wu Bin and the others. After Wu Bin and the others expressed their thanks, they sat down directly.
Yu Yunlong looked at Wu Bin and smiled faintly, "Mister Wu came on behalf of the Thick Earth Continent Alliance. Naturally, we'll do our best to cooperate. May I ask where Mister Wu wants to start?"
Wu Bin replied with a deep voice, "Your Majesty, we came this time to see the situation of the various countries. The Five Spirit Realms are currently facing an unprecedented crisis. The Spirit Realm and the Ghost Face Realm are still fighting in the Tree Spirit Continent. They're looking down on the Five Spirit Realms too much. No matter which side wins, we'll have to fight them. Therefore, we need to be prepared in advance. Therefore, the Thick Earth Continent Alliance sent us to the Arctic Continent to check the situation of the various countries. We don't have too many requests, we just want to see the accounts of each country, their food and supplies, as well as their military training."
Yu Yunlong nodded and said, "I can show you the accounts, but the supplies and troops are in different places. Do you want to see them all or do you want to do a spot check?"
Wu Bin replied, "We don't have time to see them all. We just need to do a spot check. As for the accounts, we don't need to see them all. We just need to look at the war preparations. This matter concerns the entire Five Spirit Realms, so I hope that Jade Emperor can tell us the truth. If there are any difficulties, we can solve them. If the Jade Emperor makes a false report, then we'll make a wrong judgment, which won't be good for the future war."
Yu Yunlong smiled and said, "Of course, I'm aware of the current situation of the Five Spirit Realms, so I'll tell you the truth. But how are the preparations in the Thick Earth Continent?"
"Our Thick Earth Continent has been preparing for an alliance ever since the appearance of the Ghost Face. We've already formed an alliance when the Ruijin Continent was attacked. Moreover, we've been preparing materials even before that. Therefore, our Thick Earth Continent's alliance is fully prepared. Jade Emperor, you can rest assured about this."
Actually, Yu Yunlong's question was a bit like a general. What he meant was that the Thick Earth Continent sent people to investigate them, but he didn't know how they were doing. Wu Bin's answer was to tell Yu Yunlong that they were already prepared and had started preparing a long time ago. This was actually a rebuttal to Yu Yunlong's words.
However, Yu Yunlong wasn't angry. He just smiled faintly and said, "That's good. Come, bring the accounts." Zhang Zhen complied and immediately ordered the eunuchs to bring the prepared account books and place them in the main hall.
Yu Yunlong pointed at the account books and said, "These account books are the accounts of our armaments. I wonder if Mister Wu wants to check them here or in the residence that I prepared for you?" Wu Hai nodded and said, "Mister Wu, do you want to check them here or in the residence that I prepared for you?"
Wu Bin quickly replied, "We wouldn't dare to trouble Jade Emperor. We'll go back and check."
Yu Yunlong nodded and said, "Alright, then I won't keep you any longer. You can follow Tang Ming to the residences that I've prepared for you. The situation in the Arctic Continent is quite special. Our residences are very simple and crude. I hope that Mister Wu can forgive us. After Mister Wu finishes checking the accounts, if you want to go there, just tell us so that we can take you there."
Wu Bin immediately stood up and said, "Thank you, Jade Emperor. This is an urgent matter, so we'll be taking our leave."
Yu Yunlong nodded. At this time, Tang Ming came out and bowed to the group, "Please come with me." When Tang Ming welcomed them into the Imperial Palace, he already introduced himself. Because of this, Wu Bin and the others didn't say anything as they took the accounts books and followed Tang Ming out.
After Tang Ming escorted Wu Bin and the others to their residence, he directly returned to the Imperial Palace. This time, he went directly to Yu Yunlong's study. When Yu Yunlong saw Tang Ming, he immediately asked, "Wu Bin and the others have been arranged?"
Tang Ming nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty. Everything has been arranged. Your Majesty doesn't need to worry."
Yu Yunlong said, "Have a seat. It seems like the Thick Earth Continent wants to reach out to the Arctic Continent. You said that they would check the barracks and warehouses."
Tang Ming replied, "They'll certainly go to the largest warehouse and barracks to take a look. That way, they'll be able to understand our strength. This time, they're mainly here to understand our strength. To put it nicely, it's to unify the command to deal with Ghost Face. However, this also means that they understand the situation of each country. This will make it easier to deal with each country in the future."
Yu Yunlong nodded and said, "I also think so. But since they've already started investigating, let's just let them. In any case, we don't have anything that they can't see. I just don't know how Qin Dong and the others will react."
Tang Ming smiled faintly and said, "Your Majesty, I think that after the Thick Earth Continent's investigation, Qin Dong and the others will summon you for a meeting. Although Qin Dong and the others agreed to form an alliance with the Thick Earth Continent, they still want to maintain their independence. Qin Dong is currently a Vice Leader of the Three Continents Alliance. Although he agreed to the Thick Earth Continent's investigation, I think he will still give you an explanation. At the same time, he will also take this opportunity to win you over and make your alliance more stable."
Yu Yunlong nodded and said, "I think so too. He will certainly try to win us over. That's good. But I don't know about the situation in the Tree Spirit Continent. Do you have any news?"
Tang Ming nodded and said, "There's news. The situation in the Tree Spirit Continent isn't good. The Ghost Face's attack has become even more ferocious. Moreover, they're using all kinds of Ghost Artifacts. The Tree Spirit Continent has lost a few more cities. Currently, the territory under their control is less than a third of the continent's total area. The situation isn't good."
Yu Yunlong coldly snorted and said, "Serves them right. Even in this situation, they still want to scheme against us. The people sent by the Spirit Realm are really disappointing."
Tang Ming smiled faintly and said, "I don't know what the spirit realm is like, but I do know that the upper realm of the Lost Soul Empire is the Sword Spirit Realm. It's not like here where it's dominated by a country. There are no countries there, only sects. Almost all of the sects are Cultivators, they don't have an army. If two sects go to war, they would rely on their own Cultivators to fight. Moreover, they don't have any military training. This means that they know very little about military matters. They are used to using schemes to achieve their goals. Therefore, it's not strange to say that their philosophy is different from ours."
Yu Yunlong stared, then he looked at Tang Ming and said, "What? Is the Empire still in contact with the upper realm? "
Tang Ming smiled and said, "Of course we are. Didn't I tell you before? A sect from the upper realm had a great battle and fought three times. Each battle lasted for three months, a total of fifteen years. In the end, the sect realized that they couldn't do anything to us so they stopped coming. Later on, a clan from the upper realm came down and formed an alliance with us. Everything we know about the upper realm was told to us by him."
Yu Yunlong said, "No wonder. Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. We should prepare ourselves. Ghost Face won't give the Spiritual Realm a chance to breathe. Once they're done with the Spiritual Realm, I'm afraid they'll turn around and deal with us. We need to be prepared in advance."
