Yujing City, the capital of Zhou State, is the largest city in the southwest region of the Boundless Continent.
A few days ago, in the Imperial Firmament Hall of Zhou State, close to a hundred civil and military officials were attending morning court.
A thousand years ago, the Great Zhou Empire was founded on martial arts and martial arts had always been the foundation of the Great Zhou Empire. Therefore, in the morning court, there should be many military officials. However, in the past few years, because the number of martial artists in the Great Zhou Empire had withered, in the court, there was a situation where the civil and military officials each occupied half the sky.
The civil officials were led by the newly risen Elder Chen and Scholar Zhao, while the military officials were led by Marquis Jiayuan and the Martial Saint General's Estate.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, there are many waves of refugees in Zhou State and we don't know how to settle them." The head of the civil officials, Elder Chen, stepped forward. The atmosphere in today's morning court was a little unusual.
"Order all the officials to settle the refugees in the vicinity and not to drive them away. Have you found out the cause of the waves of refugees? "The ruler of Zhou State, Ye Chengtian, was in his prime and had a dignified appearance.
"This subject has already ordered people to investigate. It is caused by the Beast Blood Clouds that have been very active in various countries in recent years. Wherever the Beast Blood Clouds appear, it is difficult for humans and animals to survive. The area where the Beast Blood Clouds appeared recently is Jade Boat Village in the central region, which is the territory of the Martial Saint General's Estate. This subject believes that the Martial Saint General himself has an undeniable responsibility for the attack on his territory. "Elder Chen pointed his finger at the Martial Saint General, Yun Bahe, who had been resting with his eyes closed.
What he meant was that the Martial Saint General didn't have enough supervision and couldn't even take care of his own territory.
Elder Chen had a lot of prestige among the civil officials. The moment he finished speaking, a few civil officials stepped forward and started denouncing him.
Ye Chengtian had a helpless expression. It's starting again.
He glanced at the calm and composed Marquis of Jiayuan, as well as Scholar Zhao, who rejoiced in his misfortune.
"Martial Saint General … Martial Saint General." The civil officials spoke until their mouths were dry. However, they didn't expect that it was like punching cotton. After a long time, the Martial Saint General, Yun Bahe, didn't react.
Only a light snoring sound could be heard.
The snoring sound came from an old man in his seventies. The old man was tall, had a lion-like nose, tiger-like eyes, and a full face of white beard. He didn't look young at all.
He was the famous Martial Saint General of Zhou State, Yun Bahe.
In the entire Zhou State, Old General Yun was probably the only person who dared to openly sleep in the imperial court.
The emperor of Zhou, Ye Chengtian, coughed heavily. Only then did Yun Bahe's white beard tremble as if he had just woken up from a dream. He said loudly, "If there's something to report, if there's nothing to report, court is dismissed. This official is old and cannot stand for too long. This official requests that this official withdraw from court early. May Your Majesty investigate this matter! "
With that, Yun Bahe withdrew from the court.
He left behind a group of civil officials, who could only stare at him helplessly. "Yun Bahe, you old fool!" Elder Chen was so angry that his beard was blowing and his eyes were glaring.
However, all he could do was feel annoyed. After all, the Martial Saint Old General was the martial arts master of several generations of emperors of Zhou State. Even the current princes of Zhou State were all personally taught by the Old General.
Although this old fellow had aged over the years, his prestige still remained.
However, the Martial Saint Old General's Manor had been without a successor for many years. There was only a crippled son and a widowed daughter left in the manor.
The Marquis of Jiayuan could only stand up. "Your Majesty, this official believes that we still need to send someone to capture the Beast Blood Cloud. I heard that not only the temple, but even some bounty hunters have joined in the hunt for the Beast Blood Cloud. It's rumored that the other countries are also searching for the Beast Blood Cloud's whereabouts. This official believes that we should not fall behind in this matter. "
As the Dutian Beast Blood Cloud became increasingly active, a rumor began to spread throughout the continent. It was said that the demonic beasts within the Beast Blood Cloud had extraordinary magical powers. Its flesh and even soul stones had become rare items that martial artists and magicians would fight over.
When the civil officials heard this, they sneered coldly. "Capture? You make it sound nice. The Beast Blood Cloud appears and its whereabouts are unpredictable. It's said that even the temple has only killed a small portion of the Beast Blood Cloud. If the Marquis of Jiayuan and the Martial Saint Old General have the ability to do so, you can send someone to capture it. "
The Marquis of Jiayuan fell silent.
Needless to say, the Beast Blood Cloud was a very dangerous demonic beast. The demonic beasts bred within it were all extremely powerful. It was said that the temple had only managed to kill them after sending out a Sky rank magician.
Although the Zhou State did not lack martial artists who could compete with the Beast Blood Cloud, most of them were outsiders who did not take orders from the imperial court.
There were indeed a few hidden experts in the imperial court, but they were only responsible for protecting the imperial family and would never leave the imperial capital.
Only a few military officials were left who could go on expeditions.
The Marquis of Jiayuan only had one daughter and no son. As the commander of the imperial guards, he could not leave the capital.
The Martial Saint Old General was old and could not go on expeditions.
For a moment, there was no one in the imperial court to send.
Someone suddenly said, "It would be great if Young General Yun was still here."
Hearing this, Emperor Zhou and the Marquis of Jiayuan's expressions changed.
The Martial Saint Old General originally had two sons and one daughter. Young General Yun was referring to the Yun family's second young master, Yun Canglang.
Everyone knew that the Yun family had two sons. One was a magician and the other was a martial artist.
Due to tradition, the Zhou State had always had very few magicians.
Yun Canghai was the youngest Sky Magician in the history of the Zhou State. Unfortunately, because of a woman, he cut off his relationship with Old General Yun and was chased out of the Jade Capital. Some people said that he died outside, while others said that he lived in seclusion.
A talented Sky Magician would be a great help to the Great Zhou Country's national fortune, it was hard for people to estimate.
After Yun Canghai left, the Yun family's second son had his arms crippled by the enemy on the battlefield and became a cripple.
The Martial Saint Old General's Manor, which was originally known as the empire's twin paragons, declined. Old General Yun also seemed to have aged ten years in a day and could no longer be seen in the imperial court.
In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed. Even Emperor Zhou did not dare to mention Yun's matter in front of the Martial Saint Old General.
"Reporting to the emperor, Wuxuan Limitless Martial School's Vice School Master Zhan Li requests an audience outside the hall!" A eunuch walked in and broke the silence in the imperial court.
"Summon him!"
Wuxuan Limitless Martial School was the number one martial school in the Zhou State. Vice School Master Zhan Li must have come personally for the Blood Cloud Beast.
A middle-aged man with broad eyebrows strode into the hall. Behind him stood a person.
When he saw that person, Emperor Yun Chengtian of the Zhou State's hand, which was resting on the dragon throne, trembled.
The officials in the imperial court were also shocked.
It was him!
It was him!
What was he doing here?
Emperor Yun of the Zhou State looked a little uncomfortable.
He did not like this son of his ever since he was born, especially after he heard the prediction made by Elder Si Ming of the Dharma Temple.
"It's Grand … No, it's Duke Beiming." The officials discussed.
Dressed in black, the former Crown Prince of the Zhou State, Ye Beiming, walked into the Emperor Xiao Palace. He was young and handsome, with a pair of gray eyes that looked disdainfully at the officials.
As soon as he appeared, the officials were in an uproar. Even the Marquis of Jiayuan could not help but look at him. This was the Blind Prince who was rumored to have been confined in the Cold Palace and was the least favored?!
After Crown Prince Ye Beiming was dethroned, he was given the title of Duke Beiming. He had been confined in the Cold Palace in the name of recuperating from his blindness.
His eyes?!
This was the first time the Emperor and officials of the Zhou State saw Ye Beiming after so many years.
His blind eyes were now shining brightly.
Gray. After Ye Beiming regained his sight, the layer of fog that covered his eyes was also dispelled.
His eyes, the eyes that had regained their sight after losing sight, were the color between black and white, between good and evil, grey.
The former Crown Prince of the Zhou State, the current Crown Prince Ye Beiming, knelt on the ground and said in a voice like broken jade, "Father, please send me to various places to hunt down the Blood Cloud Beast!"
