Nakagawa Domain, Imperial Capital, Imperial Palace.
Within an unknown great hall, eight cultivators were secretly discussing something.
The cultivator sitting at the head of the table was dressed in a purple and gold robe with a golden crown on his head. Although his expression was gentle, he had an unquestionable aura of a king.
Needless to say, this person was the current ruler of the Nakagawa Empire, Emperor Nakagawa of the Nakagawa Empire!
Behind him, a black figure stood quietly. There was no fluctuation of energy coming from his body, not even an aura. If one didn't know his identity, many would have thought that he was a statue.
But in fact, this person was Nakagawa's personal bodyguard, Nameless!
The reason why he was given this name was because no one knew his name. Secondly, he was like a shadow of Sage Nakagawa most of the time. He had almost no value in his existence other than to protect Sage Nakagawa. Such a person did not need a name.
On the left of Nakagawa was a handsome and elegant cultivator.
He was wearing a simple and elegant robe embroidered with peony flowers. He looked quite young, only in his twenties. He was handsome and had a refined and noble temperament. His long silver hair was very conspicuous.
The fact that he could sit in this position showed that his relationship with the Nakagawa Imperial Family, as well as his personal relationship with Nakagawa Sage, was very close.
Below the scholarly cultivator were two cultivators who looked almost identical. It was clear that they were brothers. They wore Daoist robes and had calm expressions on their faces.
On the right of Nakagawa, there were three cultivators. Their identities were well known. They were the top three of Nakagawa's Nine Great Princes, Prince Jin, Prince Cheng, and Prince An!
If an outsider were to see the scene in the hall, they would definitely be shocked to the point that their jaws would drop.
Because the eight people here were all of Nakagawa's Tribulation Stage cultivators.
Needless to say, Emperor Nakagawa Sage and his personal bodyguard, Nameless, were also in the Tribulation Stage.
The three people on Sage Nakagawa's left were the Imperial Advisor, Alchemist Peony, and the two elders, Dao Jin and Dao Fei.
The three of them didn't appear much in the outside world, and most of the stories about them were just rumors. Many cultivators didn't even know of their existence, but there was no doubt that they were the mainstays of the Zhongchuan Imperial Family that stood tall on this continent.
"The news of our royal family holding the Millennium Ceremony in advance has been officially announced to the public. What do you think of the reactions of the various forces on the continent?" Sage Nakagawa asked softly.
The three Grand Princes looked at each other, then at the elegant cultivator opposite them. Seeing him nod with a smile, Grand Prince Jin said, "Currently, the major powers are still in a wait-and-see mode. Many people are guessing that we are holding the Millennium Ceremony in advance to force the major powers to pick a side and completely control the Nakagawa continent."
"These people are smart. We don't need to talk about it ourselves." Prince An said softly.
"Humph, a group of fence-sitters. It's not that side that's strong. It's not like this kind of thing hasn't happened before." Elder Dao Jin sitting next to the elegant cultivator said.
"Although this matter is a bit hasty, once it succeeds, the entire continent will belong to our Nakagawa clan. It can be regarded as making up for the loss of dignity caused by the Akatsuki's havoc." Prince Cheng said.
This time, they held the Millennium Ceremony in advance, the most important reason was to eliminate the influence left behind by the Akatsuki.
At that time, the Yellow Spring Catastrophe could be said to have swept the royal family's face to the ground. Not only did they fail to destroy the Akatsuki, but they were also continuously attacked by the Akatsuki, destroying several Sects that helped them.
In this matter, although the royal family's loss was not great, the Gong Prince's Royal City was destroyed by the Akatsuki, but the actual impact was far beyond imagination. Since then, the majesty of the royal family had plummeted. Many snobbish forces announced that they would cut off contact with the royal family, for fear that the Akatsuki would implicate them and then destroy them.
Therefore, since the Yellow Spring Catastrophe, the royal family had been enduring, preparing to give Hayashikawa a fatal blow.
In the end, they took the safest way, tricking Hayashikawa and the other two into the palace, and successfully sealed the three into the World of Immortals with a trap that had been designed long ago. At this point, the royal family could finally breathe a sigh of relief, eliminating a big problem in their hearts.
It must be known that at that time, Hayashikawa used the Yellow Spring technique more skillfully than Ryōsaka. Even those in the Crossing Calamity Stage would find it difficult to catch him. At the same time, this advantage also spread to all the members of the Akatsuki. If they didn't curb this situation in time, once Hayashikawa and the others' cultivation increased again, the Nakagawa Empire would really be in danger.
Fortunately, their final plan succeeded.
And now, after they cleaned up some forces that were on good terms with the Akatsuki, they finally planned to force all the forces to restate their stance.
"We can't afford to lose the Millennium Ceremony. Even if it's a first-level cultivation force, if they dare to stand on the opposite side of us this time, we must destroy them at all costs. This is the most important step for the royal family to rebuild their own majesty. We must make the first-level cultivation forces fear us," the alchemist said softly.
"With the heritage of the royal family, this Millennium Ceremony will definitely not have a problem, but recently, something happened on the continent, I don't know if you have noticed it," Elder Dao Fei said.
"Are you talking about the Bu family?" Prince Jin asked.
Among the recent events on the continent, the only thing that could attract the attention of the major forces was the Bu family's sudden detention of all the guests.
"Yes, I have always felt that the Bu family is a little strange. I sent someone to the Bu family to inquire about the news, but the person left and never returned. I don't know what happened," Elder Dao Fei said.
"For something to suddenly happen at this time, I also feel that something is wrong, but it is said that the detained people have already contacted their respective forces, and there is nothing wrong with them," Prince Cheng said.
"To be on the safe side, I think we still need to send someone to the Bu family to investigate," the alchemist said.
"The Bu family, we really can't relax. Their master was supported by me, and now there is no news of him. I am also planning to send someone to check," Sage Nakagawa said.
After a moment of silence, Sage Nakagawa tilted his head slightly and looked at the shadow behind him.
"Wu Ming, go to the Bu family and find out what is going on!"
"Yes!" Wu Ming nodded, and his figure slowly dissipated.
