In the military, Xue Zhenyue was a martial arts fanatic. Even in the last years of the State of Jin, he would not have chosen to join the Zhou Kingdom if it were not for his deep hatred with the State of Jin.
Now, Xue Zhenyue's obsession with martial arts had risen to another level. It could be said that everything in the military of the Zhou Kingdom had been thrown to Lin Zongyue by Xue Zhenyue.
Therefore, the problem now was that there were some things that Xue Zhenyue could ignore, but Lin Zongyue could not.
At the celebration banquet last time, Lin Zongyue had already noticed that there was something wrong with Ji Xuanyuan, but he did not say much.
After all, at that time, Ji Xuanyuan was targeting Su Xin, not him. Lin Zongyue's relationship with Su Xin was good, but it was not good enough to stand up for Su Xin.
However, today, Ji Xuanyuan suddenly called everyone over. In the end, after they arrived, Ji Xuanyuan disappeared, and Ji Wuling directly announced that Ji Xuansi would be in charge of the affairs of the Zhou Kingdom in the future. This was a little thought-provoking.
However, Lin Zongyue did not know what the Ji Royal family meant, so he did not say much.
Tie Zhan and Tie Ao, who were sitting opposite Lin Zongyue, were even more indifferent.
Tie Ao was holding two Black Gold Iron Balls in his hands and spinning them. His eyes were slightly closed, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Tie Zhan was also like his elder brother, but he was holding two silver iron balls in his hands. It was unknown what material they were made of.
The military had the deepest relationship with the Six Fan School, and Lin Zongyue also knew what these two represented to the Zhou Kingdom.
It could be said that among the many military departments of the Zhou Kingdom, only the Six Fan School was the first to join the Zhou Kingdom. Similarly, it was the one with the least ties to the Zhou Kingdom.
In the past, when the Zhou Kingdom had just walked out of the Southern Barbaric Land, all the heroes in the world had risen together. The Tie family, where Tie Ao was from, was originally just an inconspicuous small family. In the end, it rose because of Tie Ao's promotion to the Yang Spirit.
However, at that time, Tie Ao did not choose to integrate the Tie family into Jianghu. Instead, he chose to let the Tie family join the Zhou Kingdom, which was only a small country in the south at that time, and set about establishing the Six Fan School.
It turned out that Tie Ao had made the right choice. If he had chosen to integrate the Tie family into Jianghu, then the Tie family might have become one of the Six Great Families. However, without the support of various resources from the imperial court, Tie Ao might not have been able to become a Zhen Wu. Even the Xiao family, one of the Six Great Families, did not dare to be too presumptuous in front of the Six Fan School.
Of course, this also meant that it was not the Zhou Kingdom that chose the Tie family, but the Tie family that chose the Zhou Kingdom. In other words, if the Zhou Kingdom did not have the assistance of the Tie family in establishing the Six Fan School, it was unknown whether the Zhou Kingdom could successfully conquer the Central Plains.
Although the combat power of the Six Fan School back then was not as great as the military and the imperial family's Hall of Offerings, the information that the Six Fan School brought was irreplaceable.
To put it simply, the imperial family of the Zhou Kingdom owed Tie Ao back then, so now the imperial family could not be too harsh on the Six Fan School. Even if Ji Haodian was afraid that the Tie family would dominate the Six Fan School, he only inserted a few nails into the Six Fan School. Now, Lin Zongyue wanted to see what the Ji Royal Family was going to do this time.
Just like that, everyone in the hall had their own thoughts, but no one said anything. However, Ji Xuansi frowned because Su Xin had not appeared yet.
Logically speaking, Su Xin and the others might be able to guess what Ji Xuansi was going to do this time, but they definitely did not know the details. Therefore, even if they were dissatisfied, they would still come to take a look. However, Su Xin had not shown up until now. What did this mean?
At this moment, a slightly strange voice suddenly rang out, "I've often heard that the Central Plains is vast and abundant, and that the imperial court of the Central Plains has even stricter rules. However, it turns out that the rumors are not as good as the rumors say. The emperor's officials actually came late to the meeting. What's the meaning of this?"
As soon as this was said, everyone present immediately turned their gazes to the direction of the voice.
They saw that the person who came was wearing a light blue robe, but the patterns on the robe were very strange. It was not the style of the Central Plains.
This person had the appearance of a middle-aged man. He had a small mustache and wore a tall hat on his head. The tone of his voice was also different from the current people of the Central Plains. It was obvious that he was someone from another region.
Most importantly, his cultivation level was in the Real Martial Realm, and there were five warriors in the Yang God Realm behind him.
Not to mention the five warriors in the Yang God Realm, there were only a few people in the Real Martial Realm in the martial arts world of the Central Plains. They could even be counted. Naturally, these people from the Zhou Kingdom knew all of them.
However, they really did not know the person in front of them, so it was very easy to guess where he came from.
Ji Xuansi did not expect that this group of people from overseas would suddenly appear, which caught him off guard.
He wanted to reprimand them, but the other party was an Earth Immortal in the Real Martial Realm. Moreover, he still needed to rely on the other party, so Ji Xuansi had no choice but to bite the bullet and introduce them to everyone. "This is an expert from overseas. He is the Island Lord of Gale Island, one of the 36 islands in the Internal Sea, 'Swordsman of Gale' Yi Jianting. His grandfather was one of the four leaders of the Four Seas Alliance 200 years ago, 'Venerable Gale' Yi Wuxing. The others are also Island Lords from the Internal Sea."
Everyone present narrowed their eyes. They were right. These people were from the overseas martial arts world, but unfortunately, even the Six Fan School did not know much about Yi Jianting.
The martial arts world of the Central Plains did not know much about the overseas martial arts world. Even the Golden Horde Kingdom, the Western Regions, and other foreign tribes on the Heaven List had Real Martial Realm experts, but there were no martial artists from overseas.
This was not because the Zhou Kingdom discriminated against these overseas martial artists, but because they really did not understand. Without detailed information, how could the Zhou Kingdom fill in information on the Heaven List? Messing around was ruining one's own reputation.
Although the Six Fan School could also send people overseas to investigate in detail, the problem was that the outer sea was very chaotic. No matter what, they had to send martial artists in the Divine Transformation Realm, and not just one or two of them.
The Six Fan School was not very strong compared to the military and the royal Hall of Offerings. It was difficult for them to monitor the Central Plains, so how could they spare people to go overseas?
Moreover, the overseas martial arts world had never interacted much with the Central Plains martial arts world. The threat they posed was the lowest among the four sides of the Zhou Kingdom. Therefore, whether it was the power of the Six Fan School or the other forces of the Zhou Kingdom, none of them had developed overseas. This was the first time they had heard of the name Yi Jianting.
It was obvious that Ji Xuansi knew this as well, which was why he deliberately told everyone some information about his ancestors after the introduction.
The people present may not have known Yi Jianting, but they must have heard of the Four Seas Alliance. After all, the Four Seas Alliance was one of the few organizations that unified the entire overseas martial arts world. It was extremely powerful and worthy of everyone's admiration.
However, the Four Seas Alliance only existed for one generation. It fell apart more than 200 years ago, which was also a pity.
Although the development of martial arts overseas was not as prosperous as the Central Plains, it was still possible to gather four strong people in the Real Martial Arts Realm. For example, Yi Jianting's grandfather was the famous Yi Wuxing, the Alliance Master of the Four Seas Alliance. The other three Alliance Masters definitely had descendants.
However, due to various reasons, whether it was due to interests or hatred, these overseas experts could no longer work together to develop the Four Seas Alliance and stabilize the order like the four alliance masters of the Four Seas Alliance in the past. Thus, they allowed the overseas martial arts world to be in chaos until now.
Tie Ao opened his eyes and glanced at Yi Jianting. His eyes were as sharp as a goshawk's.
However, Yi Jianting's body was surrounded by sword qi, which easily blocked Tie Ao's gaze.
Just as the atmosphere in the meeting hall was a little tense, a voice suddenly came from outside the hall. "How can it be up to outsiders to comment on the rules of the Zhou Kingdom? You are indeed barbarians who don't know the rules! "
Su Xin stepped into the hall and his gaze collided with Yi Jianting's. Immediately, a powerful wave erupted. The two of them did not move, but the collision of their auras had already caused an extremely powerful sword qi to erupt.
Tie Ao moved his hand and the Dark Gold Iron Gall disappeared. He grabbed with one hand and a terrifying suction force appeared. The powerful aura from the collision of the two did not even damage the ground before it was directly suppressed by him.
However, Ji Wuling coughed and said, "Enough! The palace is not the place for the two of you to fight. Lord Su, Island Master Yi, stop. "
Hearing Ji Wuling's words, Yi Jianting took the initiative to retreat and looked at the people in the hall with a deep gaze.
As an Earth Immortal in the Real Martial Arts Realm, he would naturally not be arrogant enough to provoke everyone he met. Moreover, his Gale Island had a heritage of thousands of years and had produced several people in the Real Martial Arts Realm. It was not a nouveau riche, so he knew very well about the drama of the struggle between the big forces.
He clearly knew why he came to the Zhou Kingdom. In fact, he was a figure in charge of keeping the forces of the Zhou Kingdom in check.
However, as the Island Master of Gale Island, Yi Jianting was also the first person to come to the Central Plains on behalf of the overseas martial arts world. Naturally, he had his own demands. Ji Xuansi imagined that Yi Jianting could be a knife in the hands of the royal family of the Zhou Kingdom, but that was impossible. Yi Jianting was not a brainless boor who would be used by the Zhou Kingdom in this way.
When Yi Jianting took the initiative to say those words, Ji Xuansi had already felt that the person in front of him did not seem to be so easy to use. Instead, he was very difficult to deal with.
However, now was not the time for Ji Xuansi to think too much. He stood up and cupped his hands at Su Xin, saying, "Lord Su, this is the Island Master of the overseas Gale Island, 'Swordsman of Gale' Yi Jianting. He came to seek refuge because he admires the Central Plains. It can be said that from now on, Island Master Yi is also a member of the imperial court of the Zhou Kingdom."
After introducing Yi Jianting, Ji Xuansi introduced the identities of the people in the hall. However, Ji Xuansi felt that something was wrong. He asked Su Xin, "Lord Su, why didn't your Deputy Chief of Shadow Guards, Li Bo, come here?"
Su Xin said indifferently, "Li Bo is in seclusion, so he can't come."
After saying this, Ji Xuansi's face turned a little dark.
