"Damn it! Did you see that? That vendor selling accessories is at the Great Circle of Mortal Rebirth Stage!"
"That's nothing. Look at the butcher and the vegetable seller. Both of them are at the Great Circle of Mortal Rebirth Stage!"
Everyone was astonished. They looked here and there. Phoenix Sun City was indeed the imperial capital of the Central Brilliance Continent. It was flourishing and everyone was cultivating.
As Wutian walked, he extended his soul force to study the city protection barrier. In just a few breaths of time, he felt dizzy and his mind was in a mess.
Wutian quickly withdrew his soul power and shook his head. He did not want to study the restrictive spells anymore. He was not qualified to study the Royal Level restrictive spells now. If he continued to study them, he might go mad.
At this time, a man in golden armor ran toward them. When he arrived in front of the Twelfth Prince, he cupped his fists and said, "Senior, I am the Commander of the Imperial Guards. I have been ordered by the Emperor to bring you to the camp."
"Hmm?"
Seeing this, everyone was stunned. What was going on? The Emperor had just been humiliated. Why didn't he hold a grudge and send someone to welcome them? Is the Emperor out of his mind?
Including Wutian and the others, they were also full of doubts. They could not help but suspect that there was something fishy about the Emperor's actions.
"Let's go!"
The Twelfth Prince was the most calm. He replied indifferently and followed the man in golden armor.
…
In the center of Fengyang City, a huge palace was neatly arranged. It was magnificent and magnificent. The golden glazed roof shone brightly under the sunlight. It was a stunning sight!
This was the seat of the Great Confucian Royal Family.
In a palace called the Golden Splendor Palace, the Emperor was sitting on the Dragon Throne. The Crown Prince, the Sixth Prince and the Seventh Prince were standing side by side below.
"Father, they humiliated Big Brother and Seventh Brother. Why didn't you find a way to get rid of them? Why did you ask Jin Feng to welcome them? Those who don't know better will think that we are afraid of them! "The Sixth Prince was indignant.
"Sixth Brother, don't mention this again!"
The Seventh Prince's face sank. Thinking back to the previous scene, he couldn't help but burn with anger. A dignified prince of a dynasty was actually humiliated by a group of lowly commoners. To him, this was simply a great humiliation.
"A group of lowly commoners, just you wait. I'll make you pay the price in blood!" His eyes flickered with killing intent, and his tone was extremely cold.
"Shut up!"
The Emperor slammed his palm on the armrest of the dragon throne. The armrest made of gold turned into fine powder and scattered all over the floor. Then, he swept his gaze over the two of them a few times. He leaned back in his chair as if he was powerless. He stared at the magnificent roof of the palace and was silently lost in thought.
Seeing this, the Crown Prince said in a deep voice, "Sixth Brother, Seventh Brother, don't be impatient. Father must have his reasons for doing this. What's more, there's no such thing as lowly commoners or nobles in the cultivation world. Everything is based on strength. "
The Emperor withdrew his gaze and looked at the Sixth Prince and the Seventh Prince for a long time. He sighed and said, "Do you know why I made your eldest brother the Crown Prince and not you?"
The Sixth Prince and the Seventh Prince looked at each other and bowed. "Father, please enlighten us!"
"Sigh!"
The Emperor shook his head in disappointment and sighed again, "In your eyes, you've already seen yourselves as extremely noble and superior. Who would've thought that we're just puppets and ants in the eyes of the major forces such as the Prohibition Sect and the Equipment Sect? We're just their claws and teeth to amass wealth."
The two princes were silent.
What their father said hit the nail on the head. As the princes of the Great Confucian Empire, they were indeed arrogant and conceited with their noble status. They looked down on the others and called them lowly commoners!
However, this was only for the ordinary commoners. To some of the major forces, even the Great Confucian Empire that unified the Zhongyao Continent was nothing. They could be easily disintegrated.
In fact, it was not that they did not understand these principles. However, under the influence of the years, such thoughts and characters had long become a habit. They could not change it in a short period of time.
"I've learned my lesson!"
The two of them bowed and said respectfully.
Soon after, the Sixth Prince said angrily, "But we can't boost the morale of others and diminish our prestige. We've been oppressed by the three major forces in the Zhongyao Continent for years. Now, even outsiders look down on us. If this were to spread, the Great Confucian Empire's reputation would be ruined!"
Although the citizens of Fengyang City did not know about the embarrassing incident for the time being due to the restrictive barrier protecting the city, there was no way to cover up the truth. One day, everything that happened outside the city would spread to everyone's ears. By then, the Confucian royal family would become the topic of everyone's gossip.
As the princes of the empire, how could they face the public? Wouldn't they become a laughing stock?
"It's because of my carelessness that such a disaster happened. However, it also proves that the Azure Dragon Continent is not a monolithic block. As long as we seize the opportunity, it'll be much easier to snatch the Heavenly Yin Fruit."
The Sixth Prince frowned and said, "We didn't kill Wutian and Han Tian this time. Will the City of Hell go back on their words and refuse to give us the quota?"
The Crown Prince smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry about that. The City of Hell is only a first-rate sect in the Azure Dragon Continent. They're much weaker than the Asura Palace. If it weren't for the Absolute Yin Token, we could've killed them easily!
Besides, judging from this incident, there's a huge conflict between the two parties. After entering the Absolute Yin Ruins, the Asura Palace will never let them go. That's why they need the help of the Great Confucian Empire.
Besides, they were the ones who lied to us first. They didn't tell us the real identity of Wutian and Han Tian, which is why we're in this situation. Based on this, they won't dare to go back on their words. "
The Crown Prince spoke with confidence. All the displeasure he had before seemed to have vanished into thin air. He looked like he had everything under control. The Emperor nodded his head slightly and praised him.
"We can only blame fate for playing tricks on us. Since the beginning of time, the Absolute Yin Ruins has been opened countless times, but this has never happened. There are only nine Absolute Yin Tokens in total.
Including the one from the City of Hell, the Azure Dragon Continent has six of them.
As for the remaining three tokens, one of them is in the possession of the Forbidden Sect and the other two major sects. One of them is in the possession of the Azure Sect, the Void Sect, and the Sword Sect of the South Sparrow Continent. The last one is in the possession of the Gutuo Temple and the Ghost Sect of the West Tiger Continent. Our Great Confucian Empire is about to rise, but we didn't get a single one of them. Sigh, this is fate playing tricks on us! "
The Emperor sighed and rubbed his forehead with his big hand. He looked tired.
After a while, the Emperor raised his head. His eyes were bright and he ordered, "Go to the Marquis Mansions and Aristocratic Families immediately. Gather the 25 strongest people and prepare for the secret training before the departure. Especially the Marquis Government. The Marquis Old Marquis had a son at an old age. He treats Zhang Wang and Zhang He as his treasures. When he knows about this, he'll be furious.
He'll definitely kill them all. "" That's right. The Marquis Old Marquis still has a peerless genius. Maybe the Marquis Old Marquis will send him here in a fit of anger. With him here, as long as we enter the Absolute Yin Ruins, let alone the Heavenly Yin Fruit, we'll definitely get all the other treasures. "The Seventh Prince said.
While the Emperor and the other three were discussing, in another luxurious palace, a healthy old man with a ruddy complexion and white hair was furious.
This man was Marquis Marquis!
Other than the Emperor, Marquis Marquis was the strongest person in the Great Confucian Empire. His strength was unfathomable. It was said that he was a genuine Divine Transformation Stage powerhouse.
Moreover, his protective nature was well known in the Phoenix Sun City. This was the reason why Zhang Wang was so arrogant and domineering.
At this moment, when he heard from his guards that his two treasured sons were killed by outsiders, and not even their bones were left behind, he couldn't help but let out a sorrowful howl. His anger and killing intent soared to the sky, alarming the people within a hundred mile radius.
"This is outrageous. The outsiders are too bold. They actually killed my Marquis' people in broad daylight. If I don't avenge them, I won't be able to resolve the hatred in my heart." Two rows below Marquis Marquis, a middle-aged man in a luxurious robe roared.
These people were the direct descendants of Marquis Marquis. The few old men in the lead were Marquis Marquis' brothers. Now that they knew that someone dared to kill the Marquis' disciples, it made them furious.
"The Asura Palace of the Azure Dragon Continent is really outrageous. Who do they think they are? How dare they kill my Phoenix Sun City? I'll go kill them now and avenge my two nephews! "
"That's right. Those who kill will be killed. Who cares about the Asura Palace? As long as they offend the Marquis Government, we'll kill them all!"
A few of the hot-tempered middle-aged men stood up after they finished speaking. They wanted to find trouble with the Asura Palace, but they were stopped by Marquis. He thought for a while, then said in a deep voice, "We can't rush this matter. I heard that Han Tian has the Frost Token. He must have a special relationship with the Valley Master of the Northern Black Continent. If we act rashly, we might draw those old men out."
"Then what should we do? Are our two nephews going to die in vain?"
Marquis Marquis sneered, "My sons won't die in vain!"
Saying this, Marquis Marquis looked at the white-clothed old man in the lead, and said with a murderous tone, "Big Brother, pass down the order. Tell Wu 'er, Third Brother, Fourth Brother, and the others to prepare. The Emperor might come to pick them up later. Remember, after entering the Absolute Yin Ruins, taking the treasures is a small matter, but revenge is a big matter. If you meet anyone from the Asura Palace, kill them all! "
"This is a great idea. The outside world won't know what happens in the Absolute Yin Ruins. Even if we kill everyone from the Valley Master, she won't dare to do anything to us as long as we deny it. Alright, I'll do it now! "
After he finished speaking, the white-clothed old man stood up, and a pair of light wings appeared on his back. He turned into a ray of light and disappeared in a flash.
…
The entrance to the Absolute Yin Ruins was located in the Great Confucian Imperial Palace, but it did not belong to the Great Confucian Imperial Palace. They were only gatekeepers, guarding the entrance to the Absolute Yin Ruins to prevent others from entering.
Wutian and the others followed the man in golden armor, and they passed through many bustling streets. After walking for more than half a day, they finally arrived at the center of the Phoenix City.
What entered their eyes was a huge city wall. It was about fifty feet tall, and it looked like a huge black python lying on the ground.
Many armored guards stood on top of the city wall. They were shining brightly under the sunlight. Their eyes were fixed on the city wall, and they were vigilant of every movement around them.
According to the man in golden armor, the city wall was built around the Imperial Palace to prevent outsiders from entering.
Moreover, there was only one gate on the city wall, and people could only enter and leave from there.
Stepping into the city gate, they saw many magnificent and magnificent palaces. There were lush greenery everywhere, and the fragrance of flowers and birds could be seen everywhere.
However, compared to the bustling outside, there were only a few people here. There were only a few guards standing on both sides of the road, which made the city seem much quieter and more elegant.
"To the east is the Imperial Palace, and to the west is the base of the Absolute Yin Ruins. Everyone, please follow me."
The man in golden armor smiled and led the group to the base.
