The chaotic battle between the four residences and one camp was getting more and more intense. The entire Imperial Capital was in an uproar, as if a storm was brewing. Many of the major forces watched from afar, not daring to slack off. The four manors and one battalion were the foundation of the Lin Kingdom. It was the place where the geniuses of the human race gathered. Now that such a great battle had occurred, everyone was anxious.
The White Tiger Mansion and the Kirin Province were like fire and water. The Azure Dragon Mansion and the Black Warrior Mansion were helping from the side, fanning the flames. The Vermillion Bird Camp was restless. Although the battle had not yet begun, all the Mansion Chiefs had already joined in. The Imperial Capital was in a state of chaos. The chaos in the Lin Kingdom was becoming more and more unpredictable. It wasn't just the four manors and one battalion. The officials of the Lin Kingdom and the royal court were all waiting for the final outcome.
Lin Tianlin was also extremely nervous. The Lin Empress hadn't made a move yet. Had she already sensed something? Or had she been waiting for an opportunity?
As the heir to the throne of the Lin Kingdom, Lin Tianlin's shoulders were heavier than anyone else's. Moreover, the Demon Empress' every move could topple the Lin Kingdom. At this critical moment, no one was more worried than Lin Tianlin. His strength wasn't enough to change the situation. The only thing he could use to intimidate people was his identity. Therefore, he could only hope that his teacher would bring him a pleasant surprise. He hoped that the Demon Empress would be deeply involved in this conspiracy. Even if he couldn't kill her in one fell swoop, he could at least hurt her to the bone. With this, he could gradually gain a foothold and gain the support of the four manors and one battalion. When the time came, he would be able to stand up to the Demon Empress.
Half a month later, the sun was setting in the west. Lin Tianlin received a notice from all the four manors and one battalion. The Lin Empress was finally making a move. In order to maintain the safety of the Imperial Capital and ensure the safety of the people, she had invited the five Mansion Chiefs to a banquet to discuss and prevent the internal strife from happening.
Although he knew it was a banquet, he had to go!
Lin Tianlin knew that the Lin Empress wasn't just trying to stabilize the situation in the Imperial Capital. It was very likely her conspiracy. Once the conspiracy succeeded and the four manors and one battalion were under her control, the entire Lin Kingdom and even the human race would be in deep trouble.
Lin Tianlin had used all of his means to gather the experts of the four prefectures and one battalion to launch a powerful strike at Lin Empress. As for whether it would work or not, it all depended on God's will. Lin Tianlin couldn't wait any longer. Jiang Chen was still in the midst of cultivation. What he could do now was to gather the experts of the four prefectures and one battalion. Only by doing so would he have the chance to defeat Lin Empress. Since Lin Empress had already made her move, he had to seize the opportunity to rise up. There weren't many chances like this. He could still control the experts of the four prefectures and one battalion, but once the situation went out of control and the four prefectures and one battalion fell into a passive position, it would be difficult for him to move forward.
"Father, when will you be able to come out of seclusion?"
Lin Tianlin murmured. Ever since his father went into seclusion, the Lin Kingdom had been in a slump. Although nothing major had happened, the Demon Empress' people had gradually taken control of the Lin Kingdom. His father was the stabilizing force of the Lin Kingdom. Lin Tianlin could only hope that his father would wake up as soon as possible. If the Demon Empress was allowed to continue, when his father woke up, he might not be able to stabilize the Lin Kingdom.
A large part of the human race's power had already been infiltrated by the Demon Empress. The Feather race and the Fairy race were the biggest threats. Once the Chizhong region fell, the entire Planet Chixia would be under the control of the Feather race.
At night, the wind was gentle and the clouds were light. The Imperial Palace was decorated with lanterns and streamers. In front of the Chongyang Palace, there were people singing and dancing.
"Murong Jie of the Azure Dragon Mansion!"
"Xuan Ce of the Black Warrior Mansion!"
"Bai Bijiang of the White Tiger Mansion!"
"Chen Hongmin of the Vermillion Bird Camp!"
"Mu Tianheng of the Kirin Province!"
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
The five of them bowed slightly and greeted Empress Lin.
"You may rise!"
Empress Lin smiled and said calmly.
"Today is a family banquet. There is no need to stand on ceremony. You are all His Majesty's loyal subjects. I am relieved that you are all here. Please take a seat. "
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Everyone nodded their heads in greeting and took their seats one by one. However, everyone's faces were not very pleasant.
"As a member of the Imperial Harem, I shouldn't be involved in politics. However, this is a special time. His Majesty is in seclusion and the Imperial Capital is in a precarious situation. You are all the most trusted people of His Majesty and the pillars of the Lin Kingdom. You are the most important people in the Lin Kingdom. If you have disagreements at this time and the civil war continues, I will be very worried. What if the Feather race and the Fairy race take advantage of the situation and invade us?"
Empress Lin's every move was full of worry. She only had her country in her heart. The way she worried about the country and the people made everyone admire the Empress. She was indeed the model mother of the world.
"Empress Lin is right. However, Bai Bijiang killed my daughter. If I don't avenge him, I am not a father."
Mu Tianheng said in a deep voice. He didn't back down at all.
"That was the people of the Kirin Province. They brought about their own destruction. The White Tiger Residence was razed to the ground. Who am I going to complain to? Is this how you teach your disciples in the Kirin Province? Then I really don't dare to flatter you. Hmph. "
Bai Bijiang sneered, unwilling to give up.
"You are twisting words and forcing logic. A life for a life, a debt for a life. This is the law of the world!"
Mu Tianheng shouted angrily.
The two of them argued and didn't give way to each other. It felt like they would fight each other at the slightest disagreement. They had fought several times before, but there was no clear winner. If it weren't for the Empress' banquet in the inner courtyard of the Imperial Palace, they would have fought a long time ago.
"This matter is of great importance. I know that both of you have grievances in your hearts. However, after all, your country is the most important. Now, the imperial capital is in a precarious situation. I am just a woman and don't have much power. In order to let His Majesty cultivate in seclusion peacefully, I can only show my face and uphold justice. If I am biased and unfair, I hope all the Prefecture Masters won't be unhappy. Everything is for His Majesty and for the future of the Lin Kingdom. If you continue to fight, the Lin Kingdom will inevitably suffer heavy losses. The country will no longer be a country. That is not what you want to see, right? Even if His Majesty knows about it, I don't know how disappointed he will be. Ladies and gentlemen, today, this Imperial Palace is willing to sacrifice my face to ask you to shake hands and make peace, to drink a cup of wine to bury the hatchet. "
Empress Lin said faintly. Her voice became a little cold and domineering. Although she claimed to be a woman, Empress Lin's prestige was quite high. Even in the imperial court, no one dared to oppose her. After His Majesty cultivated in seclusion, she seemed to have become an existence above tens of thousands of people. Now that she had deployed the Prefecture Masters of the four residences and one camp, she already had an idea.
