He tossed another Core Reinforcement Pill into the water, causing it to boil and the golden carps to splash. Kou Lingxu pinched a Core Consolidating Pill between his fingers. "But these things are not trivial. We have no choice but to pay attention to them. Even if we spend our energy to pay attention, we won't be able to find anything. Up until now, there is not a single thing that we can see the beginning and the end of. None of them have any results, but they've tied up our energy. Old Tang, do you think there's something fishy behind all of this? "
Old Tang was startled. "Master, do you mean that someone is behind all of this? Someone is deliberately setting up a trap?"
Kou Lingxu shook his head. "I don't know. I just suspect that if someone can manipulate these things and set up a trap like this, then this person is definitely not to be underestimated. Who could it be?"
Old Tang pondered for a moment. "If there really is someone behind all of this, then the person who can instigate all of this can't be an ordinary person. However, there are only a few who have the ability to do so: Lord Qing, Lord Buddha, Lord White, Xiahou Ta, and the remnants of the Samsara."
Kou Lingxu nodded slowly. "Indeed, there are only a few of them. Only a few of them would be able to stick their hands into the things that have popped up. For example, we four Heavenly Kings have never come into contact with the demonic monk Nan Bo. Furthermore, it would not benefit any of us to cause such a thing. At the same time, it has no benefit for Lord Qing, which is unlikely. Lord White is possible, but Lord Qing and Lord Buddha used the Yao-Sealing Pagoda as the eye of the array and set up a sensing array. As soon as Lord White's clone appears in this part of the universe, the Yao-Sealing Pagoda will sense it. The world is set in stone, so it will be difficult for Lord White to do so many things with just his clone. "
Old Tang said, "But with Lord White's ability, as long as his clone is not destroyed, he will still be the biggest worry for Lord Qing and Lord Buddha. Lord Qing and Lord Buddha have been afraid to kill Lord Demon and Lord White in the Yao-Sealing Pagoda because they want to draw out Lord White's clone and eliminate him. "
Kou Lingxu sighed and said, "This is indeed Lord Qing and Lord Buddha's greatest worry. We didn't know about it before, but during that battle, Lord Qing and Lord Buddha were not Lord White's match even when they joined hands. Lord White was betrayed by so many people, but Lord White's avatar still managed to escape. From this, it could be seen why the two of them had racked their brains to kill their sworn brother. Although there was a possibility that Lord White would intervene in the current situation, Lord White would definitely need to gather his forces in order to do something. No matter how capable he was, he wouldn't be able to do much alone. Lord Green had already laid a trap and was waiting for him. If Lord White really made a move, how could Lord Green not react? Therefore, the possibility of Lord White being the culprit wasn't high. Xiahou Ta was astute and had always been cautious. He would not do anything that he was not confident in. Unless they were certain that they could get rid of Lord Qing and Lord Buddha, or if the family had someone with the strength to rule the world, relying on the strong was the best way to protect their own interests. Otherwise, without the cover of such a big fat piece of meat, it would immediately attract a group of people to divide it, and the Xiahou family would inevitably collapse. As long as Lord Qing didn't go too far, the Xiahou family wouldn't act recklessly. As for the Lord Buddha … "His tone was hesitant and hesitant.
Old Tang said on his behalf, "If there's really someone behind all of this. Then the Lord Buddha has the highest possibility. First of all, he is currently the person with the most ability to manipulate these things. Second, after the Heavenly Court falls and Lord Qing falls, he will be the biggest beneficiary! "
Kou Lingxu was a little surprised and doubtful, "Will the Lord Buddha do this? Will he break this stable situation? After all, the hidden danger like Lord White hasn't been eliminated yet. If he does this, won't he give others a chance to take advantage of it? "
Old Tang reminded, "Master, why did they want to eliminate Lord White and Lord Demon back then? It's the same goal. If Lord Qing falls, the Lord Buddha will be the world's overlord! "
Pop! The Essence Consolidating Pill between his fingers was suddenly crushed. Kou Lingxu squinted his eyes and said, "If we can think of it, Lord Qing will inevitably be suspicious. If that's really the case, once there's a rift between the two, I'm afraid the world will fall into chaos sooner or later! "
Old Tang knew his worry and comforted, "Master, this is just our guess. The possibility of the Six Dao's remnants wanting to wreak havoc in the world for revenge is still the highest. "
Kou Lingxu grabbed a handful of Basic Immortal Pills and threw them away. "If it's the Lord Buddha, he might even try to rope me in. If the Six Dao's remnants make a comeback, it will be even more disadvantageous to me! Old Tang. There are some things you know. Back then, in order to ascend the throne, I killed every last one of the Six Dao's remnants. If there's a personal grudge between me and the Six Dao's remnants, the entire Heaven Court is mine. Putting everything else aside, Hai Yuanke's entire family, young and old, all died at my hands. This grudge is absolutely irreconcilable. However, Hai Yuanke managed to escape with his life, and he still holds a high position among the Six Dao's remnants. If the Six Dao's remnants succeed in their comeback, they won't let me go! At first, I thought they wouldn't be able to do anything after I trapped them in the Inferno. But now, the Unparalleled Fiend Art has suddenly reappeared. I'm worried! "
He wasn't the only one with a worried expression. In a pavilion on a mountain peak surrounded by picturesque scenery, Xiahou Ta stood with his crutch and sighed softly …
In the Imperial Garden, King Ying's courtyard was decorated with ribbons. The bright red color was especially eye-catching compared to the other courtyards on the surrounding mountains. Many of the servants in the courtyard ran out and stared at them.
Miao Yi didn't want to come here, but he had no choice but to do so. And this time, he had to enter King Ying's courtyard.
Someone else from the Heavenly Palace had arrived. It was the Grand Steward Shangguan Qing himself, accompanied by two attendants. Before they entered through the gates, Miao Yi had already led a large group of troops inside. They stood on both sides of the main path, with sabers and spears all the way to the outside of the main hall, surrounding the main hall.
For the time being, the Black Dragon Servants were acting as ceremonial guards. Each of them had ribbons hanging on their weapons. Miao Yi was no exception. As the commander, he intentionally hung a red sword on his waist, holding it as he stood.
The golden rays of the rising sun filled the sky.
Shangguan Qing led the two of them all the way here. On the steps, Ying Jiuguang cupped his fists to welcome them from afar, then turned around and extended his hand to invite them into the hall.
Standing at the side of the steps, Miao Yi couldn't see what was going on inside the hall. He could only hear Shangguan Qing's voice coming from inside. It was hard not to hear it. Shangguan Qing seemed to want everyone to hear it. The sound of his chanting echoed throughout the surrounding mountains.
"Zhan Ruyi, hear the decree. His Majesty's heavenly decree: Zhan Ruyi, the daughter of Marquis Zhan Ping, comes from a prestigious family. She is virtuous and virtuous, talented and beautiful. She is a peerless beauty and a straightforward personality. She fell in love with me the moment we met in the peach blossom garden. "Before Consort Zhan enters the palace, she has already performed meritorious deeds. She took the lead in the battle of the phantom market and risked her life for me. She is specially conferred the title of 'Heavenly Consort Ruyi', the head of all the consorts in the imperial harem. She is bestowed with a Single Phoenix Treasured Carriage. She is given to the Heavenly Empress as a courtesy. Done! "
As soon as this decree was announced, the servants in the mansions in the surrounding mountains were shocked. They knew that Zhan Ruyi was going to enter the palace as a consort, but they didn't expect her to be conferred the title of 'Heavenly Consort Ruyi', the head of all the consorts in the imperial harem. The first 'Heavenly Consort' in the history of the Heavenly Palace had appeared!
The Celestial Emperor even bestowed her a Single Phoenix Treasured Carriage. Even though it was slightly inferior to the Heavenly Empress's Twin Phoenixes, it was something that only the Heavenly Empress could enjoy.
'Courtesy to the Heavenly Empress as a courtesy.' This meant that only those above the Heavenly Empress would have to bow to her. No one below the Heavenly Empress could bow to her. In other words, there was no need to bow to anyone below the Heavenly Empress.
Someone quickly took out their star bell and reported the news to their master.
Everyone in the Black Dragon Division was shocked as well. Miao Yi subconsciously turned his head to look into the hall. The shock in his heart was indescribable. He didn't expect Zhan Ruyi's status to become so noble in the blink of an eye. Almost everyone in the world had to look up to her. Just a few days ago, she was still his subordinate. In the blink of an eye, she had become someone second only to the Heavenly Empress.
As if in response to Shangguan Qing's words, the resounding cry of a phoenix resounded in the sky. A huge and beautiful phoenix broke through the clouds and spread its wings to soar. Its feathers were gorgeous, and its long tail feathers fluttered like a rainbow. Behind the phoenix was a dazzling Phoenix Treasured Carriage, flanked by thousands of Heavenly Generals.
After circling in the air for a while, the magnificent phoenix carriage descended from the sky and gently landed on the empty ground outside the hall that had been cleared out beforehand. The phoenix, which was a hundred feet in size, stood proudly, brimming with spiritual energy.
Dozens of palace maids came down from the sides of the Phoenix Pavilion and quickly walked up the stairs into the hall. Soon, they all shouted in unison, "Greetings, Heavenly Consort!"
Soon, dozens of palace maids came out one after another and lined up on both sides of the stairs.
Zhan Ruyi, wearing a phoenix coronet and a long red dress, also walked out leisurely. She was dressed up like never before. The beaded curtain beneath the phoenix coronet swayed as she walked, covering her face. The two accompanying maids on her left and right each held onto one of her arms, carefully helping her out. Starting from the entrance, the palace maids lined up on both sides of the stairs turned around and followed behind her.
As soon as she appeared, Shangguan Qing's attendant immediately made a gesture. Outside the hall, everyone from the Black Dragon Division immediately shouted in unison, "Greetings, Heavenly Consort!"
From inside to outside, the guards standing guard outside King Ying's side residence hadn't even seen Zhan Ruyi. However, they had already followed their prearranged arrangements and shouted, "Greetings, Heavenly Consort!" Their voices reverberated through the skies.
After that, everyone from the Ying family who walked out of the hall wore joyful expressions. Many of the women looked at the phoenix carriage outside with unconcealable envy in their eyes. Ying Jiuguang even smiled as he stroked his long beard. Only Zhan Ping remained expressionless. Ying Luohuan, on the other hand, had a faint look of sadness on her face. She didn't seem to be happy at all.
As he watched Zhan Ruyi walk down the stairs, Miao Yi understood that given the Ying family's status, they must have already negotiated the bestowment of 'Heavenly Consort Ruyi' with the Ying family. Because of this, because of this realization, Miao Yi suddenly felt his heart clench.
He thought back to the day when Zhan Ruyi knelt before him and begged for mercy. He thought about how Zhan Ruyi tore off her clothes and bared her breasts as she begged in despair. She didn't even want such a glorious opportunity and only wanted to leave with him. Yet, he rejected her.
He didn't think he liked Zhan Ruyi. In fact, he had always hated her. However, at this moment, his heart felt heavy, so heavy that he found it difficult to breathe. He felt an inexplicable pain in his heart. It was a faintly discernible yet endless pain that would probably never go away.
