The Phoenix Maiden pondered for a moment before replying, "According to your abilities, you should be able to help. As far as I know, the past Phoenix Nirvana Ceremonies were completed by five Elders who had reached the Third Transformation. In terms of strength, even though you're walking the path of magic, you're at least equivalent to two elders at the Third Transformation Stage at the Fifth Transformation Stage. Even though there are only three of us, even if the volcanic eruption during the Phoenix Nirvana Ceremony is twice as strong, we'll still be able to handle it. Right now, I am only worried about the Phoenix Nirvana True Fire. However, according to Ling 'er, perhaps this is really an opportunity. "
Lan Chen nodded and said, "I agree with Nian Bing's words. It's useless for us to think too much now. When we reach the Feng people, we can carefully flip through our clan's ancient records and combine it with the situation at that time to find the best way. Elder sister, if, if in the end, we really need to use my life to resist the Phoenix Nirvana True Fire, I … "
"Don't say anymore." Nian Bing interrupted Lan Chen's words, "You are my wife. I will never allow anyone to use your life to do anything. If that time really comes, Feng Nu, don't blame me. Even if the Feng people suffer a calamity because of this, I will never let Chen Chen suffer any harm." His words were resolute and decisive, leaving no room for negotiation. Originally, Nian Bing thought that it was enough for Feng Nu and Yu Ruyan to go to the Phoenix Nirvana Ceremony. The reason why he agreed to go with Feng Nu was because he didn't want to be separated from Feng Nu. However, now that he heard that there might be a change in the ceremony, he understood that he had to go. Protecting his wife was something he had to do. No one could influence Nian Bing's decision.
"Nian Bing, I …" Lan Chen's voice was choked with emotions. Nian Bing gently comforted him, "Alright, don't think too much. It's already very late. Let's go to sleep. After the Four State Assembly, I will immediately return to the Feng people with you. I don't believe that this Phoenix Nirvana Ceremony can make things difficult for me when I can even pass through the gates of death. " His words were full of confidence. This confidence came entirely from his strength. He was no longer the Nian Bing who walked out of the peach blossom forest and could have problems with the same origin magic at any time. Now, he was already one of the strongest in the Yangon continent. He had absolute confidence in himself. Even if he couldn't do it, he would have no problem protecting his wife.
Nian Bing tightly hugged Feng Nu, who was nestled in his arms, while his other hand held Long Ling's small hand. Just like that, a man with three wives slowly fell asleep under the big quilt. The surging emotions gradually calmed down in this dark room. At this time, no one was willing to cultivate like they did when they joined the party. They all enjoyed this warm and strange night. The knot in their hearts had been untied, and Nian Bing had finally truly won their hearts.
Two days passed quickly. The Four State Assembly was held in the side hall of the Huarong Empire's Imperial Palace. The theme of this assembly was naturally peace talks. The one who presided over the assembly was the Huarong Empire's number one think tank, Prime Minister Su Yue. Early in the morning, Nian Bing followed Mu Jing and Luo Rou to the side hall. According to the Huarong Empire's requirements, each person was only allowed to bring one guard. The one who came with Luo Rou was naturally Yu Ruyan, while the one who came with Nian Bing was the dwarf Halogen. The one who was supposed to be with Mu Jing was naturally the god-level expert Zha Mulun. Unfortunately, Zha Mulun had already been killed by the combined efforts of Nian Bing and Halogen. Yesterday, she had talked to Nian Bing again. Before coming today, Nian Bing had arranged a guard for her. That guard was Feng Nu, who carried the Parting Heaven Sword and possessed the Phoenix's Six Transformations. Originally, Mu Jing still had some doubts about Feng Nu's strength. In her opinion, among the three women with Nian Bing, Lan Chen, who used to be Bing Yun, was naturally the strongest. However, when Feng Nu wielded the Parting Heaven Sword and easily cut down a crow that was a thousand feet away, Mu Jing's doubts disappeared. She also had a deeper understanding of Nian Bing's unfathomable strength. She no longer had any doubts about the fact that Nian Bing had killed Zha Mulun.
The four wooden tables were placed opposite each other, showing that the Huarong Empire viewed the four countries as equals. Nian Bing and the others did not have to wait for too long. The Huarong Empire's Prime Minister Su Yue and the commander of the country's military forces, Prince Rong, arrived together. Prince Rong dismissed the attendants in the hall and sat down with Su Yue. Although Su Yue was old, he did not show any signs of aging. His spirit was hale and hearty. Looking at the three youths in front of him, he could not help but smile. "It seems that the world will belong to you youngsters from now on. I'm already old. I'm afraid that there won't be much time left for me to contribute to the Empire."
Luo Rou smiled. "Prime Minister Su is old but vigorous. Us juniors are far from being able to compare to you. This time, I came as a representative of the Ottoman Empire to learn from you." Su Yue looked deeply at Luo Rou.
He had already interacted with Luo Rou many times in the Ottoman Empire's capital, Auland City. He knew that although this girl was young, not only was she knowledgeable, she was also very intelligent. She was definitely not an easy opponent. Smiling, he said, "Prime Minister Noel has arrived. Although I'm old, I'm still old. But rest assured, Su Yue will not do those foolish things." As he said that, he smiled. The heavy atmosphere in the hall immediately relaxed. "Today, I'm sure the three of you know why I've invited the representatives of Langmu, Bingyue, and Auland. I want to hear the opinions of the three envoys. If we can reach a consensus, then we won't have to waste too much time here. I can also go back and rest early. I wonder who is willing to speak first?"
Seeing the smile on Su Yue's face, Nian Bing exclaimed in her heart. This old man who was as famous as her grandfather was indeed not easy to deal with. With just a few words, he immediately pushed the three empires to the front. Luo Rou smiled and said, "I abstain. Before coming here, I've talked with the representatives of the Ice Moon Empire and the Langmu Empire. Our Ottoman Empire has decided that we will follow the lead of the Ice Moon Empire." Su Yue was stunned.
Naturally, he had seen Nian Bing before. Back then, she had left a deep impression on him during the Five Nations Magic Tournament. Now that he heard Luo Rou suddenly push the topic of discussion to Nian Bing, he couldn't help but have a whole new level of respect for this youngster. Naturally, he already knew that Nian Bing was the representative of the Ice Moon Empire. He had also discussed Nian Bing's matters with Prince Rong before. Everything they did had nothing to do with the Rong Family. No matter how Su Yue probed, Prince Rong didn't explain too much. Su Yue was very clear about what kind of intelligence Luo Rou, who had transformed into Noel, had. Originally, he wanted to focus on Luo Rou, who represented the Ottoman Empire. This was because the Ottoman Empire and the Huarong Empire shared the largest land area. If the three empires wanted to use force against the Huarong Empire, they would have to pass through the Ottoman Empire's territory. Therefore, as long as the Ottoman Empire agreed to the peace talks, this matter would be much easier to resolve. However, Luo Rou had used Taiji Fist. She pushed everything to Nian Bing, who represented the Ice Moon Empire. It was obvious that she had full confidence in him. Could it be that this Nian Bing was not only powerful in magic, but was also more outstanding in politics than Luo Rou? Although the peace talks had just begun, Su Yue couldn't help but feel that he was already at a disadvantage. He had investigated Nian Bing before, but the information he obtained was pitifully little. Of course, he didn't know that as the Bishop of the Blood Lion Sect, all information about Nian Bing had already become top secret. Although Nian Bing didn't give any orders. But his subordinates had already done their best to hide it from him.
Before Su Yue and Nianbing could ask, Mu Jing spoke first, "Our Langmu Empire's intentions are the same as the Ottoman Empire's. We will follow the lead of the Ice Moon Empire. "
When Mu Jing's words came out, even Su Yue who was experienced and astute couldn't help but have a change in expression. All this time, the Langmu Empire had been at the forefront of the confrontation with the Huarong Empire. He never would have thought that the Langmu Empire, who had always been radical, would push the matter to the Ice Moon Empire, who rarely participated in expeditions on the mainland. Moreover, Mu Jing didn't hide it as well as Luo Rou. When she spoke, she looked at Nianbing with a bit of respect. All of this was seen by Su Yue. Naturally, Nianbing's position in his heart became even more important. His original train of thought was completely disrupted at this moment.
Hearing that Luo Rou and Mu Jing had decided to give the right to speak to Nian Bing, Prince Rong couldn't help but be shocked. Seeing his grandson sitting calmly in front of him, he couldn't help but praise him inwardly. This brat was much more powerful than he had imagined. Even the Blood Lion Sect didn't have any news of him contacting Langmu and Auland. When did he start arranging all of this? In this way, he had become the key to the negotiations.
Su Yue's smile didn't fade. His gaze landed on Nian Bing, who was also smiling, and he said, "Since Langmu and Auland are willing to listen to the Ice Moon Empire, then I'll ask Nian Bing to speak on behalf of the Ice Moon Empire." He used the word 'listen' very well. His goal was to sow discord between the three empires. Unfortunately, this was already useless against Nian Bing and the other two. Su Yue naturally understood the gravity of the situation. Langmu Empire and Ottoman Empire's statements were clearly telling him that the three empires had already joined together and formed an alliance in the dark. It seemed that his trip to the Ottoman Empire was in vain.
Nian Bing smiled slightly. She calmly took a sip of the tea in front of her. Putting down the teacup, she said, "Prime Minister Su, you don't have to be so polite. Nian Bing has long heard of Prime Minister Su's great name. This can be considered the second time I've met you. To be able to speak on behalf of the Ice Moon Empire, Langmu Empire, and Auland, Nian Bing is extremely honored. First of all, we all understand why the Huarong Empire gathered the four empires for this public meeting. I would like to first listen to Prime Minister Su's reason for suddenly attacking the Kiru Empire and annexing it. The five empires of the continent have been peaceful for over a hundred years. However, because of the Huarong Empire's actions, the situation has changed. Other than invasion, I can't think of any other goal that the Huarong Empire has. Furthermore, the Huarong Empire called for this public meeting not long after conquering the entire Kiru Empire. In my opinion, this is somewhat laughable. "
Su Yue glanced at Prince Rong. The Prince Rong sat beside him with his head lowered, as if he didn't hear anything. Su Yue smiled indifferently and said, "I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding in this matter. It's not that our Huarong Empire wants to invade the Kiru Empire. Instead, the Kiru Empire took the initiative to deploy a large number of troops near our borders, showing signs of wanting to make a move. We received news that the Kiru Empire intended to launch a sneak attack on our eastern border. Left with no choice, we mobilized our troops to defend our territory. Later, because the Kiru Empire was too arrogant, we invaded their territory. Everyone should know that our troops didn't occupy the cities of the Kiru Empire, nor did we cause any damage to their imperial court. As for the annexation, it was because the Kiru Empire was willing to surrender and submit to our empire. Because of this, our empire was afraid that the Ice Moon Empire, Langmu Empire, and Auland Empire would misunderstand. That's why we called for this meeting, to express our love for peace, and to reach this agreement. "
Hearing Su Yue's words, Mu Jing couldn't help but say, "Prime Minister Su's words can only fool a three year old. If you didn't attack the capital of the Kiru Empire and capture the members of the royal family, how could they surrender? Even if what you said is true, and this is just a misunderstanding, then how do you explain the previous time when your Prince Rong led his troops to invade our territory? "
Su Yue feigned surprise and said, "Princess Mu Jing, didn't you just say that we would follow the lead of the Ice Moon Empire? What, have you changed your mind? "
Mu Jing's face flashed with anger. Just as she was about to refute, Nian Bing's voice rang out in her mind, "Calm down, don't fall for Su Yue's trick." She forcefully suppressed the anger in her heart and sat there without saying a word.
Nian Bing smiled and said, "Princess Mu's words are exactly what I wanted to ask. In these past few years, the Huarong Empire's military movements have been very frequent. Could it be that this is your side's love for peace?"
Su Yue said, "That is also a misunderstanding. Everyone should know that our country and the Langmu Empire are separated by a large mountain range and transportation is extremely inconvenient. In order to have better trade relations, we thought of a way to open up a new road. But who would have thought that this would cause the Langmu Empire to misunderstand. They mistakenly thought that we were going to start a war. In the end, their troops that were in charge of guarding the borders launched an attack on us. Our soldiers could only resist. You should all know that when our army counterattacked, they did not kill a single civilian. Even after repelling the Langmu Empire's attack, we immediately retreated to our territory. As for the looting that Princess Mu mentioned, I do not know where it came from. I did not receive any information about this. Perhaps it was just a misunderstanding. Or perhaps it was the bandits that took advantage of the situation to run rampant in your country. If that battle had any impact on the Langmu Empire, I would like to represent the Huarong Empire to express our apologies to you. "
Mu Jing's heart was filled with anger. Just as she was about to refute, Nian Bing's voice rang out in her mind again, "Things have already happened. You won't gain anything by arguing with him about this. Just bear with it. After all, we came here today to negotiate. I think you can understand what I mean. Getting angry won't help, and you won't be able to recoup your losses. "
Mu Jing took a deep breath and calmed her surging emotions. She coldly snorted and did not answer Su Yue's words.
Su Yue really did want to provoke Mu Jing, because he found that this Nian Bing in front of him was not easy to deal with. Yi Mujing's breakthrough was clearly much easier. But Mu Jing, who was just arguing with him, actually did not get angry when she heard him deny the matter of the battle with the Langmu Empire. Su Yue immediately felt that today's negotiations would be even more difficult.
Nian Bing said, "What's done is done. The situation in front of us has already been formed. Prime Minister Su, since the Huarong Empire wants to negotiate with our three empires, then I hope that your country can show some substantial sincerity." He did not want to delay any longer and directly went to the main topic. Since the Ottoman Empire and the Langmu Empire had already expressed their support for him, Su Yue should now understand the situation of the three empires on their side. His provocation did not have any effect, so now was the time to lay out his cards.
Su Yue nodded, saying, "Since it's a peace negotiation, of course we have sincerity. As long as Bingyue, Langmu, and Auland are willing, we can sign a twenty year non-aggression agreement. If any side violates it, then the other three countries can join forces to deal with them. "
Nian Bing smiled. "Prime Minister Su just said that you have sincerity, but you put forward such conditions. I don't see your sincerity. Let's not beat around the bush. The reason why the Huarong Empire proposed this peace negotiation is because they are afraid that our three empires will join forces to start a war with the Huarong Empire. In the future, if the Huarong Empire wants to start a war and violate the agreement signed today, then they will have to go against our three empires. Then this agreement can only be annulled. What other effects does it have? Prime Minister Su, since we are sitting here today, since I can obtain the support of the other two empires, it means that we have sincerity in wanting to negotiate with you. I hope that the Huarong Empire can also show some sincerity and not let us come here for nothing. If we start a war now. I don't think that it will be beneficial to the Huarong Empire or our three empires. Weapons cannot be used lightly. However, we are not afraid of using force to resolve the current situation. "
The smile on Su Yue's face gradually disappeared, "Then I want to hear it. Does representative Nian Bing have any good suggestions? "
Nian Bing smiled faintly, "It can't be considered a suggestion. However, the most important point of this peace negotiation is that the Huarong Empire must let our three empires feel that you are no longer a threat to us. At the very least, you must not be a threat for the next twenty years as stated in the agreement. This way, we can sign the agreement without worry. " “
Su Yue pondered for a moment, then said, "I'm afraid that will be very difficult. How can your three empires feel safe? Your standards may not be our standards. I hope representative Nian Bing will not make things too difficult for us. "
Nian Bing smiled faintly, "I definitely don't mean to make things difficult. Otherwise, I wouldn't be negotiating with you like this. I just hope that you can understand that if we start a war now. The harm to the Huarong Empire is definitely greater than the harm to our three empires. First of all, in terms of military strength, although our three empires are scattered and may be at a disadvantage at the beginning of the war, our Ice Moon Empire is famous for producing weapons and equipment. The Langmu Empire is famous for producing food. If we join forces. Then reinforcements will continuously appear on your borders. Perhaps you can rely on your two top notch knight regiments. However, in the face of God's Descent, even the strongest knight regiments will be destroyed. Our Ice Moon Empire is not as simple as you think with just one Divine Descent Master. "
Su Yue was startled, "Oh? I haven't heard that your country has another expert magician. "
Nian Bing smiled, "I can't say that I'm an expert. But if I don't have the strength of a God's Descent Master. Then how can I sit in the position of the chief court magician of the Ice Moon Empire? "
"You …" Su Yue looked at Nian Bing in shock. He naturally wouldn't believe what the young man in front of him said. He had seen Nian Bing's strength before. Although he was already outstanding among the younger generation, no one would believe that he was a God's Descent Master.
Nian Bing smiled faintly. The Heaven's Eye between his eyebrows gradually lit up. This time, the light from the Heaven's Eye was golden. An enormous pressure instantly filled the entire venue. His pressure was released to the surroundings. Within the range of the pressure, everyone's body shook at the same time. Mu Jing's expression changed greatly. A green light rose from her body. Yu Ruyan and Feng Nu were surrounded by a red light. Black Dou Qi protected them (That dwarf can't say a word, thank you). They all fell to the ground under the sudden pressure and continuously increased their strength. However, Nian Bing's pressure was released using spiritual force. Even the Ice Priestess couldn't resist it, let alone them. On Nian Bing's side, apart from Nian Bing, only Luo Rou was unaffected. On Su Yue and Prince Rong's side, Prince Rong's expression changed greatly. He originally wanted to protect Su Yue, but as a God's Descent Master, he was shocked to find that under this enormous pressure, even protecting himself was very difficult, let alone helping others. Su Yue looked at all of this in a daze. Like Luo Rou, he wasn't affected by the pressure. However, he was too familiar with Prince Rong's strength. Seeing the purple light around Prince Rong's body fluctuate violently and continuously shrink, he couldn't help but feel a burst of shock. This Nian Bing was just sitting there without moving, yet he was able to exert so much pressure on everyone present. Just how powerful was this? God's Descent Master, this was definitely a strength that only God's Descent Masters could reach. It might even surpass the realm of God's Descent Masters. Otherwise, his old brother Prince Rong wouldn't be in so much pain.
The pressure appeared quickly and disappeared quickly. In just a few short breaths, everyone's body felt lighter and returned to normal. Nian Bing faintly smiled and nodded to Su Yue, saying, "Prime Minister Su, this junior has been impolite. However, if this junior didn't do anything, I'm sure Prime Minister Su would find it very hard to believe my words. Now, I don't think you have any more doubts. " With the pressure gone, the first one to stand up was the dwarf. After that, the ones to recover were Prince Rong, Feng Nu, and Yu Ruyan. Mu Jing's entire body was limp as she sat in her seat, gasping for breath. Her eyes were filled with confusion. Clearly, she was still immersed in that terrifying pressure. This time. In order to create a deterrent effect, Nian Bing activated the Huangji Acupoint and Tianyan Acupoint's golden sphere, fully activating his spiritual power. Although he didn't seem to have any changes on the surface, his brain also felt waves of weakness.
Strength often proved everything. If it was only the Ice Goddess Priestess alone, Su Yue wouldn't be so afraid. But now that there was an unfathomable Nian Bing, he couldn't help but think a little more. Just as Nian Bing said, no matter how powerful a knight regiment was, in front of the God's Descent Technique, there was no chance of luck. He was hesitating. Now, he had two choices. One was to kill all the emissaries present, including Nian Bing, and then immediately start a war with the three countries. The other was to make some concessions in the peace talks. While thinking, his gaze turned to Prince Rong, sending him a signal of inquiry.
Prince Rong shook his head at him and gestured to Su Yue under the table. Su Yue immediately understood what he meant. He sighed inwardly and said, "Alright, then let's discuss the details of the peace talks. Originally, our Huarong Empire was very sincere. Since the Frozen Moon Empire, Langmu Empire, and Auland Empire have already formed an alliance, our Huarong Empire is willing to coexist peacefully with you. Mutual non-aggression. "
Under the deterrence of strength, the negotiations afterwards went much smoother. Prince Rong gestured to Su Yue under the table, telling him that none of the people on the other side were easy to deal with. From the pressure of Nian Bing's spiritual power, he could see the strength of the other side's abilities. At the same time, Prince Rong also told Su Yue that his own forces were unable to deal with Nian Bing. This was equivalent to telling Su Yue that if these people wanted to leave, even his Rong family's personal guards wouldn't be able to stop them. Moreover, this was the Huarong Empire. Once the envoys of the three countries were attacked, it would be equivalent to forcing the three countries to immediately attack the Huarong Empire.
After constant bargaining, the two sides gradually reached a consensus. At this time, the difference in strength could be seen. Mu Jing could only interject a few words from time to time. On the side of the three countries, the ones in charge of the negotiations were Nian Bing and Luo Rou. Every time the two raised a question or raised a question, they would be on par with Su Yue. At the same time, as the negotiations progressed, Nian Bing became more and more impressed with this Prime Minister Su Yue, who was as famous as her grandfather. Compared to him, although Luo Rou's intelligence wasn't inferior, but in terms of experience and comprehensive thinking, there was still a big gap. Only with Nian Bing's help, could they barely be on par with Su Yue. After nearly four hours of negotiations, the two sides finally reached an agreement. The three countries signed a peace treaty, stating that both sides would not invade each other for twenty years. In order to show their sincerity, the Huarong Empire would not build any fortifications within five hundred li of the border between the Kilu Empire and the Ottoman Empire. At the same time, the Huarong Empire had to open up the mountain path that connected to the Langmu Empire, allowing the Langmu Empire to trade. Due to the invasion of the Ottoman Empire, the Huarong Empire also had to compensate the Ottoman Empire with ten thousand purple coins. Originally, Mu Jing wanted to fight for some benefits from the Huarong Empire, but Su Yue was insistent, and in the end, she only got these benefits. The most important of these was that there would be no fortifications within five hundred li of the border between the Kilu Empire and Auland. At the same time, they were not allowed to station any troops within five hundred li. In this empty piece of land, the three countries would each send a company of a thousand men to oversee it, while the Huarong Empire's defenses had to be set outside five hundred li. It was because of this that the negotiations had lasted so long. With the cooperation of Nian Bing and Luo Rou, they finally reached the bottom line of the Huarong Empire and obtained an advantage in the negotiations.
When the three representatives left the side hall, the Huarong Empire's Prime Minister Su Yue couldn't help but feel dizzy. Just as he stood up, his body swayed, and he couldn't help but fall to the side. Fortunately, Prince Rong was there to support his body, preventing him from falling. Prince Rong asked with concern, "Ah Yue, are you alright? Is there anything wrong with you? "
Su Yue sighed and said, "I'm old, and can't be compared to the past. It was too tiring to fight a battle of wits with these juniors the entire day. Elder Rong! You're right, they're all too outstanding. As long as that Nian Bing and Luo Rou are here, I'm afraid that it'll be impossible for our Huarong Empire to unify the continent. No, I have to speak to His Majesty tomorrow. We have to abide by the twenty year contract that we signed today. Elder Rong, do you know? I suddenly realized a problem, a problem that has always been ridiculously wrong. We've relied too much on our own abilities. We've fallen too far behind in nurturing the next generation. Once we're a hundred years old, who will support the Huarong Empire? Elder Rong, don't you regret it?
Prince Rong shook his head and said, "I've never regretted things that have already happened. Ah Yue, it's indeed time for us to nurture our successors."
On the surface, the Ottoman Empire naturally benefited the most from this negotiation. However, from a deeper perspective, the Langmu Empire and the Ice Moon Empire also benefited greatly from this. Nian Bing did not follow everyone back to the State Guesthouse. Instead, she went to the Blood Lion Cult's secret hall alone and directly asked the Blood Lion Seven Elders to send someone to deliver the agreement to Xue Po in Ice Moon City. She also asked Xue Po to tell Yan Feng that she would not be returning to Ice Moon City in a short period of time. The Four Nations Conference ended completely according to Nian Bing's plan. She understood that as long as Su Yue was here, then the Huarong Empire's invasion would stop.
As the Phoenix Ceremony was approaching, in order to gain time to communicate better with the Feng people, Nian Bing's group did not stay for long. After the negotiation ended, they left Du Tian City. When they walked out of Du Tian City's North Gate, the Western Ocean in the east brought a crimson color to the horizon. The envoys from the three kingdoms gathered together. Hundreds of people from the Langmu Empire surrounded a few carriages.
At this moment, the envoys from the three kingdoms did not continue their journey. Instead, they stopped. Nian Bing and the others walked down from the carriage and came to the front of the Ottoman Empire's envoys. Yu Ruyan and Luo Rou also walked down from the carriage.
