Ji Haodian publicly announced that he was going to hold a Sky-viewing Feast in three days. This caused all the major forces in Jianghu to boil over.
At the same time, these martial artists were also secretly disdainful. Sky-viewing Feast? Did Ji Haodian really think of himself as an ancient Human Emperor? Did he want to ascend to heaven?
This was especially so for the three sects that had entered the Nine Sword Pavilion. They had seen the appearance of those dried corpses. Once powerful existences in the Real Martial Realm had now become monsters. Even if they knew about this method of immortality, they would not want to use it.
However, Ji Haodian was different. The Human Emperor of the Zhou Kingdom did not need the powerful cultivation of the Real Martial Realm. He only needed the ability to control the entire Zhou Kingdom.
Many martial artists in Jianghu had experienced Ji Haodian's methods, so no one wanted Ji Haodian to continue living forever. In these three days, nearly half of the martial artists in Jianghu would attend the Sky-viewing Feast in Shengjing City, except for those martial artists who were really remote.
In the headquarters of the Six Fan School, a powerful aura soared into the sky. Su Xin, Fang Jiuyuan, and Liu Wuqian all looked in the direction of the aura. That was where Tie Zhan was cultivating in seclusion.
Su Xin had a faint smile on his face and did not say anything. Su Xin had long expected that Tie Zhan could break through to the Yang God Realm.
After all, Tie Zhan's talent was not weak, and he had been stuck in this realm for so many years. It was about time for him to break through.
Fang Jiuyuan and Liu Wuqian's expressions were somewhat complicated.
In terms of age, they were about the same as Tie Zhan. They were all martial artists of the same generation.
However, now that Tie Zhan had successfully broken through to the Yang God Realm, they had not even touched the edge of the Yang God Realm. This made them a little anxious.
The imperial court and the Six Fan School were very realistic places. In the past, Fang Jiuyuan and the others fought for power with the Tie Clan. Because of Ji Haodian, Tie Ao had to maintain an absolutely fair attitude. That was why the four Harmonious God Realm Super Arresters were qualified to fight with the Tie Clan.
But at the same time, when their qi and blood declined and they entered their twilight years without breaking through to the Yang God Realm, even a stable retirement would become an extravagant hope.
Even if the Tie family didn't touch him, how could the warriors of Six Fan School who followed the Tie family let them go?
Just like Su Xin, they had offended Su Xin so many times. When the time came, how could Su Xin possibly let them off?
Just as Fang Jiuyuan and Liu Wuqian were letting their imaginations run wild, a piercingly cold aura gushed over. The door was pushed open, and Tie Zhan walked out. His aura had already become extremely terrifying. His battle intent soared into the heavens, and he was incomparably sharp.
A warrior's realm and combat strength had always been two different things. Su Xin had dealt with many Harmonious God Realm warriors, and this Tie Zhan was definitely one of the strong ones. Even if he had just broken through to the Yang God Realm, his combat strength was definitely far greater than most Yang God Realm warriors.
Just like the current Su Xin or Judge Cui, they could already pose a threat to the existence of the Yang Spirit Realm. However, they could launch sneak attacks, but it was somewhat dangerous to fight them head-on.
But after they broke through to the Yang God Realm, even if they had just broken through and had not yet stabilized their cultivation, they could still kill most of the existences of the same level.
Now, Tie Zhan was the same. When he stood in front of Fang Jiuyuan and Liu Wuqian, these two people who had often opposed Tie Zhan in the past lowered their heads subconsciously.
Tie Zhan said in a deep voice, "Although I am in seclusion, someone has already reported to me about what happened in Shengjing City. We also need to prepare well for the Heaven-Viewing Banquet in three days."
After calling everyone into the room, Tie Zhan instructed, "I don't need to say much about this matter. You should know the reason behind it.
We don't know what His Majesty's plans and those princes are thinking. Even if we knew, it wouldn't be appropriate for us to get involved. However, don't forget that the Zhou Kingdom belongs to all of us. If those forces of the martial arts world want to cause trouble, we naturally can't just stand by and watch.
"Now, get ready to send out all the people in your hands. However, we don't want to clash with those forces of the martial arts world. Instead, we want to know how many people they have, who the experts are, and other information.
"The strength of our Six Fan School is not in direct combat. Therefore, the Heaven-Viewing Banquet in three days only requires us Four Great Super Arresters to participate. When it comes to the actual battle, our Six Fan School will not be the main force."
Everyone present nodded their heads. Tie Zhan's arrangement was in line with their intentions.
If there was really a battle at the Heaven-Viewing Banquet in three days, it would definitely be a battle between experts. Although Su Xin and the others were martial arts masters at the Harmonious God Realm, to put it bluntly, they would easily become cannon fodder, regardless of whether they were at the Divine Transformation Realm or Harmonious God Realm.
Therefore, it was still acceptable for them to stand on the stage as spectators. Even if the people of the Six Fan School let them go up, they would be sent to their deaths.
Tie Zhan continued, "Gather all the Wind-Chasing Patrollers and secret agents of the Six Fan School. I will lead the secret agents of the Six Fan School, and Fang Jiuyuan will lead the Wind-Chasing Patrollers. We must investigate the background of all the martial artists who have entered Shengjing City.
Liu Wuqian will be in charge of sorting out the news from the various sects in the Zhou Kingdom. Although it has only been three days, the entire martial arts world has been shaken. We also need to know if anything else has happened in their encampment. "
Finally, Tie Zhan turned his gaze to Su Xin. "Su Xin, there is another task for you. That is to welcome those forces of the martial arts world who have entered Shengjing City."
Su Xin frowned and asked, "Do we still need to welcome them?"
Tie Zhan smiled and said, "The imperial court naturally has to maintain its dignity. Even if the two sides are at each other's throats right now, they cannot lose their bearing. Since His Majesty cannot manage these things, we can only manage them ourselves."
Su Xin nodded. He understood what Tie Zhan meant.
Simply put, even if the imperial court knew that those forces of the martial arts world had come with ill intentions, they had to at least maintain their dignity.
The Zhou Kingdom was not just the Zhou Kingdom of Ji Haodian alone. It was also the Zhou Kingdom of everyone in the imperial court. Therefore, protecting the dignity of the imperial court was equivalent to protecting their own dignity.
Tie Zhan said, "In the Six Fan School, you are the most suitable person to handle this matter. After all, when it comes to fame in the martial arts world, even I am not as famous as you are."
Tie Zhan was not deliberately flattering Su Xin. What he said was the truth.
Fang Jiuyuan and Liu Wuqian were now part of the Four Great Super Constables. Therefore, over the years, they had not shown their faces in the martial arts world much. Most of the time, they had been giving orders.
Moreover, when the Six Fan School had just been established, Tie Zhan had followed Tie Ao and fought continuously in the martial arts world. He had slaughtered countless sects and destroyed many sects. It could be said that he was the person who left the deepest impression in the martial arts world after Tie Ao in the Six Fan School.
However, these things had happened over 20 years ago. During these years, Tie Zhan had rarely appeared in the eyes of the people in the martial arts world. His fame had gradually been forgotten by the people in the martial arts world.
After all, over 20 years was enough for a generation of people in the martial arts world to grow up. The young people in the martial arts world might know Tie Zhan's name, but they would definitely not know about his past deeds.
However, Su Xin was different. Ever since he had made his debut, his ranking on the Man Ranking List and the Earth Ranking List had been constantly updated. He had participated in many major events in the martial arts world.
Right now, Su Xin was not far from being a true big shot in the martial arts world. Therefore, Su Xin's fame was definitely greater than that of the other three. It was just right for him to be the one to welcome the martial arts world influences that had come to Shengjing.
Moreover, although it was said to be welcoming them, it was actually just standing at the city gates and greeting them. This proved that the imperial court already knew that they had come looking for trouble. However, the imperial court was not afraid.
If it were not for the fact that Ji Haodian was wholeheartedly focused on his grand plan to live a long life, this kind of task should have been done by Tang Xian or someone from the Imperial Consecration Hall. After all, their relationship was closer than that of an outsider like Su Xin. They could also better represent the attitude of the imperial family.
However, now that Ji Haodian had not sent anyone over, they could only let Su Xin reluctantly take over.
After receiving their respective tasks, they cupped their hands and left.
At such a critical moment, even Fang Jiuyuan and Liu Wuqian knew that the matter was urgent. Therefore, they could not care about fighting for power and benefits. They directly led their men to carry out the orders.
The four gates of Shengjing were originally open. Now, only the east gate was open. This was to prevent some accidents from happening.
However, this made things much simpler for Su Xin. At the very least, he did not need to find out if anyone had come. He only needed to wait at the east gate.
Therefore, Su Xin did not delay. He immediately brought Qi Long and Huang Bingcheng to stand guard at the east gate, putting on the airs of welcoming guests.
Although the scene was a little shabby, these martial arts forces did not come with good intentions. Naturally, there was no need to make a racket to welcome them into the city.
The news of the Zhou Kingdom had only been released for less than a day, but some martial arts forces had already received the news and rushed over.
The first to arrive was naturally the Dugu clan.
However, very few people from the Dugu clan came this time. Only the patriarch, Dugu Yan, and his wife, Xiao Chuo, came with more than ten disciples of the Dugu clan. The patriarch, Dugu Cheng, did not come.
Dugu Cheng was not hiding outside the city, waiting for the critical moment to appear. According to the intelligence sent by the secret agents of the Six Fan School, Dugu Cheng was really not prepared to come.
Among the six great families, the Dugu clan was originally at the bottom. This time, the matter was too big. To put it bluntly, the Dugu clan could not afford to play, nor did they dare to play.
This time, it was very likely that existences in the Real Martial Arts Realm would take action. Dugu Cheng, a warrior in the Yang Spirit Realm, was involved. Although he was also a martial arts grandmaster, it was very likely that he would be killed by a Real Martial Arts Realm existence with a slap.
The most important thing was that the Dugu clan was too close to the imperial court. If the Dugu clan really dared to participate in these matters, they would be the first to face the imperial court's revenge.
Therefore, this time, the Dugu clan was prepared to keep a low profile. They only came to watch the ceremony. As for the other matters, they would just watch the show and not get involved.
