The imperial city of the Nandou Nation.
Countless strong cultivators had come to the grand ancient city.
There were 36 prefectures in the Nandou Nation and each prefecture had many cities. Each city had an academy.
Now, the young geniuses of the various prefectures and cities had gathered in Nandou City. Different from the Fenghua Banquet in the Cangye Kingdom, the Tingfeng Banquet didn't have a preliminary test. Anyone from the young generation who wanted to participate could show off.
After all, the Cangye Kingdom's Fenghua Banquet was held once every three years. It was efficient and fast-paced. The Tingfeng Banquet in the Nandou Nation was even grander.
The people of the East Sea Prefecture arrived one after another. Not only the participating juniors but also some strong cultivators who wanted to witness the grand event.
The strong cultivators of Donghai Academy of the East Sea Prefecture naturally wouldn't miss out on this event. The headmaster of the School of the Emperor Star, Yan Shao, personally led the team with other headmasters. They led the best disciples of Donghai Academy and stepped into the imperial city. A group of demons flew in the sky. The disciples of Donghai Academy looked down at the magnificent ancient city and were slightly moved.
Could they shine at the Tingfeng Banquet?
Yan Shao's most valued disciple, Zhuo Qing, was in the crowd. He stood on a demon and looked at the city before him. He was filled with pride.
Even in today's gathering of geniuses and geniuses, with his talent, he should be able to have a place among them, right?
Of course, Zhuo Qing wasn't absolutely confident. No one knew how many amazing people had been born in the Nandou Nation in the past decade. Who could say they could stand out?
At this moment, a figure involuntarily appeared in Zhuo Qing's mind. That unparalleled youth. Unless he was here, it was a pity that it had only been a month or so since the incident in East Sea City. He should still be hiding somewhere.
Zhou Mu was also among the Donghai Academy disciples. His teacher, the Art Saint, was here too.
Lin Xiyue was also among the students of Donghai Academy. Compared to when she first met Ye Futian on the ship in the East Sea, she had matured a bit. At 17 years old, she had shed some of her childishness and was more beautiful. Her curves were more perfect.
At the beginning of the year, she participated in the Spring Quarter Examinations and entered the academy. Now that the Tingfeng Banquet was about to begin, she wanted to come too.
In the distance, another group flew over. Someone called, "Headmaster Yan."
Yan Shao looked over and couldn't help but smile. "Are the disciples of the Nandou clan also planning to participate in the Tingfeng Banquet this time?"
These people were from the Nandou Clan of Donghai City.
"Yes." The strong cultivators of the Nandou clan nodded slightly. Their emotions were complicated. Everything that happened on the last day of the Divine Prefecture Calendar's 10,000th year changed many things. Now, they needed to show that they were more dependent on the royal power in order to survive.
Of course, they had to come to the Tingfeng Banquet.
The two groups of experts moved forward silently. There were countless experts in the void around them.
As they moved forward, they could faintly see the incomparably magnificent palace. Under the sunlight, it looked even more dignified and sacred.
At that moment, Emperor Luo stood quietly in the main hall of the palace, reading a scroll of news sent by his subordinate.
The news was about the Cangye Kingdom's Fenghua Banquet. The Fenghua Banquet was held once every three years and there would be some outstanding people. The Nandou Nation naturally had to pay attention to such news.
But even if he did, this kind of news would not have reached him. A group of geniuses appeared every three years, and they were all juniors. As the emperor of the Nandou Nation, did he need to pay attention to these things? He did not have that much energy.
However, this news was sent to him because a few names that should not have appeared at the Fenghua Banquet had appeared.
First place on the Fenghua Rank of the Cangye Kingdom's Fenghua Banquet, Ye Futian.
This name was very familiar.
As the emperor, he should not have paid attention to a young person. However, this person had once received the attention of Minister Zuo, Minister Hua, and the Crown Prince. Therefore, a month ago, he sent out a decree. He said that in the Nandou Nation, his will was the will of heaven.
However, in the end, Ye Futian escaped from the Nandou Nation. He did not expect to see his name again on the Fenghua Rank of the Cangye Kingdom.
"A genius of all elements with twin spirits. Since he went to the Fenghua Banquet, of course he's number one." Emperor Luo smiled. In the Nandou Clan of Donghai City, Ye Futian had already displayed his terrifying talent. Therefore, it was not strange that he was number one. Since he participated, he should be number one.
The fourth name was Hua Jieyu. It was also very familiar. She should have been the Crown Princess of the Nandou Nation.
"Send out my decree …" Emperor Luo raised his head and sent out another decree. Just like a month ago, it was still a decree about Ye Futian. He knew that it was even more impossible this time but he still sent the decree.
…
On the mountain in the palace of the Cangye Kingdom's Imperial City.
Ye Futian, Yu Sheng, and the others cultivated quietly on the mountain. At the same time, they waited for their teacher to recover.
Ye Futian knew that he had won first place at the Fenghua Banquet and publicly revealed what happened in the Nandou Nation. He naturally had to be more careful in the future.
"Teacher." Ye Futian, who was practicing his guqin, saw a figure walk over. He stopped playing and smiled.
Hua Fengliu walked alone. His complexion was much better than before. He seemed very energetic. His injuries should be recovering soon.
Nandou Wenyin and Tang Lan were by his side. Sometimes, Ye Futian thought to himself that Aunt Tang was just being stubborn. In fact, she still wanted to be with Master. Masteress seemed to have acquiesced to this. She had seen how much Tang Lan had done for Hua Fengliu. When Hua Fengliu returned to Donghai City, it was also Tang Lan who had taken care of him.
"How do you feel?" At this time, the sage-like Imperial Advisor walked over and asked Hua Fengliu.
"Much better. Thank you for your hard work these days," Hua Fengliu said to the Imperial Advisor.
"Rest well. You can't use your strength these days and it takes longer for your life spirit to recover. Don't leave the mountain for now," the Imperial Advisor said.
"Understood." Hua Fengliu nodded.
The Imperial Advisor turned to Hua Jieyu and said, "I felt you cultivating yesterday. Can I see your life spirit?"
"Yes." Hua Jieyu nodded lightly. She took a step forward and released her beautiful life spirit. She was like a noble queen with a crown on her head.
The Imperial Advisor stood there without moving. He couldn't help but tremble. Then he turned to Nandou Wenyin and asked, "Where is your life spirit?"
Nandou Wenyin was confused but also released her life spirit. It wasn't as beautiful as Hua Jieyu's but it was still extraordinary.
The Imperial Advisor's body trembled. Then he slowly knelt on the ground and bowed. "Your Highness."
"This …" Nandou Wenyin and the others' expressions changed. Ye Futian also stood up and looked at this scene in shock.
"I am the imperial sorcerer of the Nandou Nation, Mo He," the old man said in a trembling voice. "I never thought that I would see the descendant of His Majesty one day."
"Senior, please rise." Nandou Wenyin was shocked. Not only her, but everyone here also didn't think that the Imperial Advisor of the Cangye Kingdom would be the imperial sorcerer of the Nandou Nation. The Nandou Nation here was obviously not the current Nandou Nation, but the past …
"Princess, are you the descendant of His Highness Jue?" the old man stood up slowly and asked in a trembling voice.
"Yes, that's my grandfather. I heard that after the Luo royal family ascended the throne, my grandfather returned to Donghai City to seek refuge in the Nandou Clan." Nandou Wenyin nodded.
"His Highness Jue was right back then. If he didn't leave, only death awaited him. Luo Tianyin wouldn't let him go." The old man's voice was filled with hatred.
"Senior, what happened back then? Why did my grandfather and my parents never return after they left the Nandou Clan? What does this have to do with Emperor Luo? "Nandou Wenyin asked. Luo Tianyin was Emperor Luo's real name.
She only knew that 300 years ago, when Donghuang the Great and Emperor Ye Qing unified the Divine Prefectures of the East, the forces of the world were in chaos. The king of the Nandou Nation was killed outside and the nation was in chaos. Countless forces fought for the throne and too many strong cultivators of the Nandou Clan died in battle.
At that time, Luo Tianyin appeared out of nowhere. As a Noble, he crushed everything and ascended to the throne. From then on, the Luo royal family replaced the Nandou royal family.
After Emperor Luo ascended to the throne, everyone was anxious. In order to show his magnanimity, Emperor Luo granted amnesty to the world and ignored those who hated him. The world submitted to him and the Nandou Nation was quickly stabilized. The Nandou Clan returned to Donghai City to seek refuge and escaped the disaster.
"Luo Tianyin, that bastard. Back then, he was His Majesty's valet and was extremely talented. His Majesty treated him like a disciple. At that time, the world was in turmoil and His Majesty left the Nandou Nation in pursuit of greater power. Luo Tianyin and I followed His Majesty outside. However, Luo Tianyin was ambitious and attacked His Majesty when he was in danger. His Majesty was not prepared and his fate was stolen. I was also seriously injured and blinded. Luo Tianyin probably thought that I was dead."
The old man trembled and said, "Luo Tianyin defied the heavens and changed his fate. He ascended to the throne and replaced the Nandou royal family. In order not to be despised by the world, he did not touch the Nandou Clan. However, he must have done something behind the scenes. Princess, you said that His Highness Jue and your father are missing. I'm afraid you want to investigate what happened back then.
"Senior, why didn't you announce his evil deeds to the world?" Nandou Wenyin was furious when she heard about what happened back then.
"If I announce it, the Nandou Clan will be completely destroyed." The old man sighed. "All these years, I came to the Cangye Kingdom incognito and taught the emperor how to read and cultivate. It was all to make the Cangye Kingdom strong and destroy the Luo royal family."
Ye Futian did not expect there to be such a secret. He suddenly understood many things. Emperor Luo's decree came to Donghai City and made Jieyu the Crown Princess. It turned out that it was not only because of Minister Zuo's fortune-telling.
The sad thing was that the Nandou Clan did not know that Emperor Luo would not let Jieyu rise unless she submitted to him and became the crown princess.
Moreover, Emperor Luo had already defied the heavens and changed his fate once. Naturally, he was not afraid of fate. Now, he was even stronger and was a Noble. Why would he be afraid of two juniors with fate?
