The treasure light was crimson red, like a perfectly round object hanging high in the sky. It could even block out the sun, moon, and millions of starlight. Only the light of literature was unaffected.
Once the treasure light appeared, the world turned pitch-black. Then, the boundless red light illuminated the world.
The sky was as red as blood.
The Nine Cauldrons of the Great Xia Dynasty were originally fighting for the fate of the human race. They were not true divine weapons, but their power was far above the quasi-saint literature treasure. Even so, they were obstructed by the blood-colored treasure light.
The dragon of the Yangtze River, the Nine Cauldrons of the Great Xia Dynasty, and the red treasure light were in a deadlock in the sky. They could no longer care about anything else.
The eyes of the people below Yueyang Tower flashed with extraordinary splendor. They couldn't believe it. They never thought that a literary gathering could cause such a level of conflict.
Ge Yiming suddenly laughed and said, "I'm sure everyone is familiar with the Nine Cauldrons of the Great Xia Dynasty. They are equivalent to the power of the Stone Gate of History, the Victorious Tiger Talisman, or the Holy Way Codex. They are mysterious and unfathomable. Only three cauldrons were used to completely suppress the dragon of the Yangtze River. I don't need to explain how powerful they are. However, that red light can actually suppress the Nine Cauldrons of the Great Xia Dynasty. Everyone, do you know what this means? It means that this is a saint treasure equivalent to the original Spring and Autumn Annals. It should be loaned by a Dragon Saint from the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas! "
Many people looked at Ge Yiming with extreme disgust. It was normal for him to be enemies with Fang Yun. After all, everyone had their own ambitions and couldn't be forced. However, at this time, with the flood dragon seizing the Yangtze River and the human race's Nine Cauldrons suppressing the water dragon, this person was still speaking for the flood dragon. He clearly said that the flood dragon had the Dragon Palace behind him and that the water race had joined hands to punish Fang Yun.
The Martial Monarch said impatiently, "What are you barking for? Noisy! Men, write an imperial edict for me. Qingjiang Trading Company is helping Gyeongo and causing trouble in Xiangzhou. It is suspected that there are spies from Gyeongo. From today onwards, all trading companies in Wu Guo will cut off all contact with Qingjiang Trading Company. Once discovered, they will be punished for treason. In addition, confiscate all the businesses in Qingjiang Trading Company! "
Many people were stunned. They didn't expect the Martial Monarch to be so impulsive. The merchants of Gyeongo and Wu Guo had cooperated even when the two countries were at odds with each other. They had even reached the upper echelons. After all, all the big businesses had the shadow of the All Saints Families or the royal family.
There was a saying in the Miscellany School: Merchants know no boundaries.
Although there were conflicts between the two countries now, after the first Battle of the Two Worlds Mountain, all the countries had stopped being hostile towards each other. The merchants of the two countries were very close.
If Wu Guo wanted to target Gyeongo's trading company, then Gyeongo would definitely retaliate. Wu Guo's losses would definitely not be smaller than Qingjiang's.
The business of Qingjiang's merchants was small, but the business of Gyeongo's merchants was big. The aristocratic families behind the merchants, the Qing Emperor, and the officials were even more frightening.
In the Saint Origin World, all the merchants were very conflicted. They hoped to get the help of the bureaucrats, but at the same time, they hated and feared the bureaucrats. No matter how rich a merchant was, let alone a king, any minister could make them live a life worse than death, and make them obediently hand over their property.
Many merchants tried everything to solve this problem, but in the end, most of them gave up. This was because they realized that unless they overthrew the current political system, they would forever be suppressed by the bureaucrats.
However, there was still a group of people who were constantly accumulating power and working hard. They secretly joined forces with the Ancient Sea Cliff in order to overthrow a country and establish their own.
Gyeongo and Wu Guo were enemies. Gyeongo's scholars were not afraid of the Martial Monarch, but the problem was that the Martial Monarch was using him as an excuse to punish Qingjiang's trading company. Once the punishment was carried out, Qingjiang's trading company would lose at least fifteen percent of its annual income. This was enough to greatly damage Qingjiang's trading company. It was impossible for the nobles behind Qingjiang's trading company not to hate Ge Yiming.
The Qing Emperor was furious and said, "Martial Monarch, you've gone too far!"
"Fang Xusheng was right. The Qing Emperor only knows how to bark in the snow. It's annoying!" The Martial Monarch was too lazy to pay attention to the Qing Emperor.
Several Wu Guo's officials wanted to speak up and stop the Martial Monarch from issuing such a decree, but they were hesitant.
Gyeongo's side was riled up. Facing Fang Yun, most of the Gyeongo scholars no longer dared to attack. However, facing Wu Guo's people, they would not show any mercy.
After several breaths, the Qing Emperor clenched his teeth and announced, "From today onwards, if Qingjiang's trading company suffers a single loss in Wu Guo, then Gyeongo will completely cut off its cooperation with the Dawu Trading Company!"
The Dawu Trading Company was the exclusive trading company of Wu Guo's imperial family.
Many Wu Guo's officials were about to advise against it, but Yi Zhishi looked at the Martial Monarch and smiled, "Monarch, you're indeed a meticulous person. This official admires you."
The Martial Monarch chuckled and said to the nearby officials, "Did you see that? Even the literary giants are praising me. You guys should learn from them! "
The officials rolled their eyes. How could a monarch be so undignified? However, they began to ponder why Yi Zhishi would praise the Martial Monarch. At Yi Zhishi's level, even a monarch would have to flatter him instead of blindly praising him.
Many people pondered carefully and suddenly understood.
Li Fanming sighed, "This Martial Monarch, you really can't be fooled by his words and actions. He swears all day long and doesn't follow etiquette. Every two or three days, he's criticized by the imperial censors, but he's much smarter than most people. Perhaps he doesn't have much wisdom, but many times, he can think of things that others can't think of. If I could think of it, I would've invited the Martial Monarch here in advance. In any case, our Qi Country and Gyeongo don't get along. "
Sun Naiyong smiled, "Although we laugh at this monarch every day, we still respect him in our hearts. He's the eldest prince, so naturally he's the crown prince. However, almost 90% of the officials oppose him taking the throne. The late emperor's health was not good. Before his death, he stood his ground and used his reputation to force the four ministers and generals not to obstruct the Martial Monarch's ascension. He was given ten years. After ten years, if Wu Guo declined, he could change the monarch. It hasn't even been ten years, but no one has mentioned changing the monarch anymore. Everyone has already approved of him. "
"Indeed, I've heard of many things about this person. For example, one year, Wu Guo was defeated in a battle with the barbarians. The next year, the Martial Monarch proclaimed himself as a great general and personally led the troops into battle. In the end, he forced the soldiers to kill the enemy courageously. Only then did he win the battle. Many people scolded him before the battle, but after that, many people understood his intentions. If Wu Guo couldn't obtain a glorious victory in the second year, the soldiers would've become more and more dispirited. It's very likely that they would never be able to recover. "
"It's the same this time. On the surface, he came here to sightsee, laughing and cursing, but in reality, he has his own motives. This time, he punished the Qingjiang Trading Company for making enemies with Gyeongo merchants and some influential officials. He even offended the powers that rely on Gyeongo to make money. In reality, he's giving up on worldly gold and silver and aiming for the Bloodlight World! "
"Wu Guo and Gyeongo have never been on good terms. The Martial Monarch helped Fang Yun at the Literary Conference this time. Fang Yun will definitely remember this. In the future, if Wu Guo's royal family needs anything, Fang Yun will definitely take care of them. This is much more important than a few hundred million taels of silver."
The crowd discussed as they watched the mysterious treasure light in the sky compete with the Nine Cauldrons of Great Xia.
Fang Yun didn't say a word. His spiritual consciousness rose into the sky as he looked at the estuary of the Yangtze River in the distance.
The Jiao Dragon Palace was below the estuary. Before the Nine Cauldrons of Great Xia appeared, huge dragon horns appeared on the river surface. The dragon horns were unimaginably large. The two horns were a full ten miles apart. One could imagine that the dragon head was at least two miles long.
The surface of the two dragon horns glowed with a faint golden light.
The Jiao Sage actually went all out and used his divine body to patrol the river.
However, when the Nine Cauldrons of Great Xia appeared and suppressed everyone, the Jiao Sage was actually unable to float up. Only after the supreme treasure of the Dragons appeared did he continue to float up slowly.
