The Royal Capital of Lorraine had a population of a million, and there were countless forces entrenched in the Royal Capital. However, there were only a few that could truly be called the upper forces.
The royal family was naturally the largest force.
Below them, the four most promising candidates for the throne, the eldest prince, the third prince, and the twelfth prince were also part of the upper forces. Behind them were the other princes and princesses, the Demon Hunters Association, the Ying Garden, the Hunyuan Pavilion, the Cloud Forest House, and the Metal Element of Heaven and Earth.
Therefore, such a big change in the Demon Hunters Association, the death of President Wu Zhenyuan, and the death of more than 40 Blood Transformation Grandmasters, swept through the entire Royal Capital like a storm.
For the first time, the name Cho Tsing Hui was known by the people of the Royal Capital.
Especially when everyone thought that Tsing Hui would take the Hunyuan Heaven Sect's flying boat to the Hunyuan Heaven Sect after severely damaging the Demon Hunters Association. Unexpectedly, he stayed in the Royal Capital and did not leave. For a time, the Divine Armament Building, which had not yet moved out of the Ying Garden, gradually became lively.
…
"Father, do we need to visit them?"
At this time, inside the Ying Garden, on a walkway not far from the Divine Armament Building, Nangong Ting's face was full of resentment. "He's just a villain who's intoxicated by success. He doesn't even know what kind of mistake he has made. Do you think the Demon Hunters Association's money is so easy to take? The Demon Hunters Association's branch of the Lorraine Kingdom is only one of the nine branches of the Demon Hunters Association. There is only one powerhouse in the association, but in the headquarters, there are as many powerhouses as there are clouds. The number of Awakening Stage powerhouses is in the double digits, especially the president. Not only is he omnipotent, but his cultivation is also unbelievably tyrannical. It is said that he has already stepped into the second level of the Immortality Stage. Once the Demon Hunters Association gets angry, they will send powerhouses to kill the chicken to warn the monkey. Only death will await Cho Tsing Hui. If we go there now, people will think that the Ying Garden is afraid of Cho Tsing Hui.
"What do you know!"
He glared at Nangong Ting and said, "The Lorraine branch has the support of the headquarters, but Cho Tsing Hui also has someone behind him. Moreover, it is the talented true disciple Nalan Fei. Now that he has shown excellent talent, Nalan Fei will definitely bring him to the Hunyuan Heaven Sect to be her right-hand man. This Nalan Fei is not only extremely powerful, but the Nalan family is also a famous cultivation family. In their most glorious days, two great elders were born in the family. Even if their momentum is not as strong as before, there are still many powerhouses in the family. If the Demon Hunters Association really dares to be aggressive, Nalan Fei will definitely not ignore it. When the time comes, even if someone from the headquarters comes, they won't be able to do anything to Nalan Fei."
"The headquarters president of the Demon Hunters Association has eyes and eyes everywhere. He has a close relationship with an important figure in the Hunyuan Heaven Sect. Every year, the Demon Hunters Association's profits are handed over to that important figure in exchange for his protection. I'm afraid it won't be easy for Nalan Fei to make a move. If something goes wrong, the matter will escalate to a game between the upper echelons."
Nangong Yu was also somewhat puzzled.
"A game between the upper echelons is no longer something that we, Ying Yuan, can interfere in. Ying Yuan can be considered a faction in the Lorraine Kingdom, but in the Hunyuan Heaven Sect, what are the twenty-four kingdoms? Even in the Lorraine Kingdom, there are princes and grand dukes. Right now... we're just going to pay a visit and make friends. No matter what the result is, there's no harm. It's better to squash enmity than to keep it alive. "
Nangong Lie sighed.
Hearing this, Nangong Yu understood something.
Ying Yuan could not afford to offend the Demon Hunters Association's headquarters, nor could she afford to offend Nalan Fei. The only thing she could do was to please both sides and not offend either.
After realizing this, Nangong Yu felt a little distressed.
In the eyes of ordinary people, Ying Yuan seemed to have limitless glory and attracted the envy of many wealthy merchants and nobles. However, in the eyes of the true top factions, the little Ying Yuan was not worth mentioning.
The three of them soon arrived outside the Divine Armament Building.
At this moment, there were four people kneeling outside the Divine Armament Building, kowtowing and begging for forgiveness. Beside them, there were more than ten trembling people accompanying them.
Nangong Ting glanced at them and recognized their identities. "Aren't they the Black Flame Duke, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, as well as their young masters and young mistresses? Why..."
"The conflict between the Demon Hunters Association and Tsing Hui was actually caused by Gang Lie, Feng Xiu, and the others. Now that they know that Tsing Hui defeated the Demon Hunters Association's Lorraine Kingdom branch, they're probably afraid and have come to kowtow and beg for forgiveness," said Nangong Yu.
Nangong Yu said.
At this moment, the Black Flame Duke and the others also saw Nangong Lie and the others. They immediately stepped forward and bowed respectfully. "Garden Master Nangong."
"Garden Master Nangong, are you going to pay a visit to Prince Tsing Hui? I wonder if you can put in a good word for me in front of Prince Tsing Hui?"
Lie Gang, Feng Xiu, Ning Hua, Ning Xin, and the others, who were kneeling on the ground, were so ashamed that they wished there was a hole in the ground for them to crawl into. If they could turn back time, they would never dare to provoke Tsing Hui even if they were given ten thousand guts.
Unfortunately...
There was no medicine for regret in this world.
"Everyone, our Ying Garden also has some small conflicts with Prince Tsing Hui. We can't even take care of ourselves. How can we care about other things?"
Nangong Lie sighed, not daring to agree.
"Garden Master Nangong is the first guest in the residence of His Highness the Tenth Prince. Even if he doesn't give you face, Prince Tsing Hui definitely won't dare to slight Garden Master Nangong for the sake of the Tenth Prince. As long as Garden Master Nangong can help us get through this disaster, we'll be eternally grateful."
The Black Flame Duke stepped forward and bowed deeply with a sincere expression.
"I..."
"It's just a small matter. You don't have to make it so troublesome."
At this moment, a voice came from the corner of the courtyard not far away. Immediately after, an elegant man with a feather fan and a silk headband strode over, surrounded by two beautiful women.
"Sword Rain Scholar!"
Nangong Lie, the Black Flame Duke, and the others exclaimed at the same time when they saw this handsome man.
Sword Rain Scholar was one of the top three guest elders in the residence of the Third Prince.
In the royal family, the First Prince, the Third Prince, and the Twelfth Prince were the most qualified to vie for the supreme throne. The power they possessed far surpassed that of the other princes and princesses. For example, Nangong Lie's cultivation was slightly inferior to Wu Zhenyuan's, but he could become the first guest elder in the residence of the Tenth Prince. If he were to go to the residence of the Third Prince, he wouldn't even be in the top three, let alone the first guest elder.
Now that Sword Rain Scholar had appeared here, it was obvious that he was here for Tsing Hui.
"Greetings, Mr. Sword Rain."
The Black Flame Duke and the others hurriedly bowed with a respectful expression, not daring to be negligent at all.
They knew that Sword Rain Scholar cared a lot about his reputation. Once someone humiliated him, he would definitely take revenge by any means necessary.
"Alright, get up. As nobles and officials of the kingdom, it's inappropriate for you to kneel here."
Sword Rain Scholar waved his hand as he looked at the few people who were acting respectfully.
"But Prince Tsing Hui..."
"Haha, isn't my appearance here enough to prove something? Cho Tsing Hui will soon become the subordinate of the Third Prince. By then, he and I will both be working for the Third Prince. It's nothing for me to forgive you guys for such a small matter. "
The Black Flame Duke, the Assistant Minister from the Ministry of Rites, and the Assistant Minister from the Ministry of War looked at each other and immediately stood up. They thanked Sword Rain Scholar profusely, "Thank you, Mr. Sword Rain. We will definitely follow the Third Prince's lead in the future."
"Alright, it's good that you guys know what you are doing. I'll go and invite Cho Tsing Hui now. He can't even protect himself now. The Devil Hunter Union has learned about the incident in Lorraine and is furious. They will definitely not let this go. Fortunately, the Third Prince thinks highly of him and is willing to give him the status of an Upper Guest to protect him. I don't think he will miss this opportunity. From now on, you guys will be on the same side."
Sword Rain Scholar laughed and glanced at Nangong Lie. When his gaze landed on Nangong Yu, his eyes lit up. "Nangong Lie, you have a good daughter. With such beauty, why don't you give your daughter to me? I'll put in a good word for you to the Third Prince. Who knows, the Third Prince might be willing to give you the status of an Upper Guest. Working for the Third Prince is better than being half-dead under the Tenth Prince."
"Sword Rain Scholar, you must be joking. Since I'm working for the Tenth Prince, I'll naturally be cautious and conscientious. I'm going to visit Prince Tsing Hui, so I won't talk much with you.
I'll take my leave first, "Nangong Lie said and quickly led Nangong Yu and Nangong Ting into the courtyard of the Divine Armament Building.
