The Peacock Imperial Court. Flying Rainbow Palace.
Ever since the Peacock Imperial Court sent an invitation to the other eight empires, each country had sent their royal family or important ministers to attend the meeting. The gathering this time was extraordinary. No empire could ignore it or stay out of it.
The Peacock King had just received the Thousand Spirit Jade Seal that symbolized the unification of the divine continent, and immediately convened the meeting of the nine countries. The meaning behind this was self-evident.
Although the divine continent was divided into nine countries, but among the nine countries, the Peacock Imperial Court and the Great Zhou Empire were the most powerful. The other seven countries were equal in strength, interdependent and wary of each other. Between countries, there were interests and conflicts. There was cooperation, and there was killing. Moreover, each empire was an independent entity, intertwined with each other, making it difficult to distinguish the true factions and strength.
Besides, so what if they could see it clearly for the time being? They could make a new stand according to the new situation at any time.
Therefore, they used a very shameless phrase to describe their behavior: there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.
Interests come first!
There were conflicts of interest between people, and there were conflicts of interest between countries.
If it was really as they had guessed, the Peacock Imperial Court wanted to unify the divine continent, then it would be a violation of the interests of all of them — — This time, the Dark Flame Empire that had been advancing and retreating together with the Peacock Imperial Court would most likely not support their approach.
The unification of the nine countries meant that there would be only one empire, only one surname would be the imperial family, and only one person would be the monarch. The others would become vassals, puppets, and even a cup of poisonous wine would be bestowed upon you. Only death awaited you.
Everyone was used to being a master, who would be willing to become a servant that was ordered to kneel before others?
With such serious consequences, who would dare to easily agree to the unification?
"Even if we die in battle, we will not let the Peacock King Ying Boyan's dream come true." This was the thought of many people.
Moreover, they did not hide their attitude. Instead, they moved around in private, exchanging their ideas with each other, and quickly reached a verbal alliance.
No matter how powerful the Peacock Imperial Court was, would they dare to go to war with the eight countries at the same time?
There were even some more radical guys who were thinking of taking this opportunity to launch an expedition against the Peacock Imperial Court and drive the Ying family out of this fertile land — —
Within Soaring Rainbow Palace, the envoys of the eight nations stood together and whispered to each other, discussing spiritedly.
From time to time, he would glance at the throne at the top of the palace. Peacock King Ying Boyan did not appear, and neither did Peacock Princess Ying Qiandu, who presided over the Nine Nations Note Conference.
"The one who obtains the Imperial Jade Seal will rule the world. It's just a joke … If it's really so effective, why would that evil dragon give it away?"
"The evil dragon is vicious. He wants to use a jade seal to lure us humans into killing each other … I hope the Peacock King can distinguish right from wrong and not be used by that evil dragon …"
"The Dragon Clan is seeking revenge for the genocide tens of thousands of years ago …"

The Second Prince of the Zhou Kingdom Cheng Yuren looked at Cui Xinli who had been standing silently next to him, and took the initiative to speak: "Lord Cui, your West Wind Kingdom has had the most dealings with the evil dragon, what do you think of the evil dragon?"
Cui Xinli bowed and said aloud: "The evil dragon is vicious, cunning and ever-changing. My West Wind has fought with it many times but has not been able to completely eliminate it. Therefore, this time, he still needed the help of the various countries. Let's work together to slay the evil dragon. "
"Is the evil dragon in the West Wind?" Cheng Yuren asked with a smile.
Cui Xinli's eyes grew stern, his tone somewhat dissatisfied: "The evil dragon appears and disappears unpredictably, where it is hiding is really unknown. Maybe it's in the West Wind, it could be in the Great Zhou, or even in the Peacock Imperial Court. "
"Hahaha — Lord Cui's words are interesting. If the evil dragon is really in the Peacock Imperial Court, it is a good thing. We will gather the elites of the nine countries to slay the dragon again. I have no chance to participate in the Dragon Slayer Battle of Wind City, but if I can do it again, I will not miss it no matter what — "
"Absolutely not. The last time we slayed the dragon, your father Cheng Yuren lost his life in Meteorite Wind City. This time, I must not let nephew Yuren take the risk. "A dignified and hearty voice suddenly sounded.
"You —" Cheng Yuren's face changed dramatically, his anger could not be quenched. If someone else had said such words to him, he would have ordered people to drag them out and hack them into pieces.
The crowd turned around, only to find that the Peacock King, Ying Boyan, was striding toward the Flying Rainbow Palace.
"We pay respect to the Peacock King." The crowd bowed in unison.
Although the envoys of the eight countries present were either rich or noble, and some were princes of a country. But compared to the Peacock King, the monarch of a huge empire, there was still a long way to go.
"Everyone don't need to be polite." The Peacock King waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's been a long journey, was it hard?"
"It was not hard. To be able to see the face of the Peacock King, to appreciate the good mountains and rivers of the Peacock Imperial Court, what is a little hard work? "General Lin Wuji of the Dark Flame Empire said respectfully. "My King asked me to send his regards to the Peacock King. My King knows that the Peacock King likes to drink the Tiger Mountain wine of the Dark Flame Empire, so he specially asked me to send 50 carts. "
"Good. Good. Good. The Tiger Mountain Wine was bred from the Tiger King Energy of the Tiger Mountain. Even the spring water of the Tiger Mountain carried a strong masculine taste, not to mention the Tiger King Wine brewed from the Tiger Mountain Ice Spring. It was like drinking wildfire, extremely domineering. After drinking it once, I enjoyed it so much that I forgot to go home. I didn't expect Brother Lin Wuji to remember. "
"My King often says that the Peacock King is his only confidant in this life. What the Peacock King likes and dislikes, he naturally knows in detail. "Lin Wuji replied respectfully.
Everyone felt uneasy in their hearts.
They did not know what method the Peacock King used to make the Dark Flame Empire surrender so quickly.
The Peacock King and Lin Wuji of the Dark Flame Empire, with this question and answer, gave them a show of strength.
The Black Flame King said that the Peacock King was his only confidant in this life. What the Peacock King likes and dislikes is what he likes and dislikes. In other words, if the Peacock King wants to unify the Nine Countries, then he is willing to support the Peacock King unifying the Nine Countries.
Is the Black Flame King crazy? Does he not even want his own imperial power? He would not hesitate to let his Lin clan lose their imperial status and become a Prince or a Marquis?
After several generations, most likely his descendants would not even be able to keep their Marquis status, right?
Moreover, the Dark Flame Empire worships the tiger as their god and uses the tiger as their totem. The Tiger King wine is only for the imperial family to drink and must not be easily given away. This time, the Black Flame King directly sent people to send 50 carts... that is their entire year's stock, right?
What does this mean? They are treating the Ying family as the true imperial family?
Headache!
Everyone felt a throbbing pain in their heads!
Huo...
The Peacock King suddenly stood up, strode forward and held Lin Wuji's hand, saying in a deep voice, "Brother Lin and I are not brothers, but we are closer than brothers. He regards me as his lifelong confidant, how can Bo Yan not do the same? "
The Peacock King casually pulled off a jade pendant from his waist, clasping it tightly with both hands and handing it to Lin Wuji, saying, "Please return this to Brother Lin, he should understand my intentions."
"Peacock King..."
Lin Wuji was also a member of the imperial family of the Dark Flame Empire and was very knowledgeable. How could he not know what kind of item the jade pendant that the Peacock King always carried with him was?
There was a red cloud in the middle of the white jade. When its master was angry, the red cloud would transform into a blood peacock. When its master was in danger, the blood peacock would break out of the jade and attack the enemy.
Moreover, when its master was under great attack, the blood peacock would also sacrifice itself to protect its master. To protect its master's life.
This was the founding token of the Peacock Dynasty, a protective artifact that had been worn by the first Peacock King since the founding of the dynasty.
The world did not know what it was, and only named it the "Red Cloud Peacock".
Now, the Peacock King had gifted this item to the Black Flame King. How could the people not understand the profound meaning behind it?
The envoys looked at each other, the pressure in their hearts increasing.
The show had not yet begun, but the Peacock King and the great general of the Dark Flame Empire had already put on such a "life and death" show. It was so disgusting that it made people want to vomit, and it also caught everyone off guard.
When they were in private contact, they had also discussed it with the envoy of the Dark Flame Empire, Lin Wuji. At that time, Lin Wuji only chuckled, saying that he could not make the decision and was only responsible for reporting back to the Black Flame King, leaving it to the Emperor to make the decision. In the blink of an eye, he had already replaced his Emperor to play a sensational show?
With the help of the Black Flame King, the Peacock King was like a tiger that had grown wings. If the monarchs of other empires became unstable, or if the Peacock King used thunderous methods to subdue them, then the situation would be irreversible.
As long as one more country was willing to stand up and support the unification of the Nine Nations, then Ying Boyan would have the power to sweep the world.
Fortunately, they would definitely not agree to it.
The few of them looked at each other, and secretly made the decision that they would rather die than submit.
"Thank you, Peacock King." Lin Wuji knelt and expressed his thanks.
"Get up." The Peacock King personally pulled Ying Boyan up, and said with a smile, "There are still important guests here, we will not reminisce in public."
The Peacock King turned around, and said with a smile, "You have come from afar, and you are all distinguished guests. Everyone, please sit."
"Peacock King, I heard that Princess Qiandu will be presiding over the Nine Nations Note Conference this time. How come I don't see Princess Qiandu's beautiful face?" Cheng Yuren remembered the Peacock King's public reprimand and asked.
The Peacock King gave him a meaningful look, and said with a smile, "The temperament of a child, one moment she says she wants to come out and share Father's burden, the next moment she runs away without a trace, and can't be found... I only have one precious daughter, and I really can't do anything about her."
Everyone laughed. They all knew that the Peacock King loved his daughter as much as his life, and that no matter how rebellious the Princess Jiao was, he could forgive her.
"Besides, the people who came are all distinguished guests and elders, how can there be a little baby to be responsible for receiving them? It is only proper for an old man like me to personally come out and invite them. " The Peacock King said with a smile, "I proposed to convene this Nine Nations Note Conference and invite you all to the Peacock Imperial Court from thousands of miles away, in order to invite you all to admire the treasure I have obtained."
