No one was worried about Wu Dao, Gu Zeyan, Liu Silong, and Zhao Xuewen, the four half-step Monarch Realm big shots.
Because there was no point in worrying.
If even these four real big shots couldn't deal with an opponent, then Sovereigns like them would only be defeated if they went over.
So, they returned to the city and waited. While waiting for news, they had to ensure the safety of the capital. That was the most important thing for them to do now.
When everyone returned to the capital, the high alert state of the capital still hadn't been lifted. Over ten thousand cultivators were still waiting in the city to prevent any accidents from happening.
At this time, the thirty-six domain lords were once again gathered in the reception hall of the City Governor's Office. After the crisis was temporarily resolved, the capital's gathering continued.
Lan Yuanqing sat in the main seat and lowered his head to glance at the other thirty-five domain lords.
As expected of veterans who had experienced hundreds of battles. In the Emperor level battle just now, five Emperor level experts had died in succession, but not a single one of them was a domain lord.
Even the Northwest Domain Lord, Fu Zhengqing, who had the lowest cultivation, who was only a level seven Martial King, had managed to survive the chaotic battle outside. At this moment, he was sitting in the hall with the other thirty four Domain Lords, participating in the gathering.
"Here, I would like to thank all of you for your help. If it wasn't for all of you today, my Capital Guard's Mansion definitely wouldn't have been able to repel the fifty thousand Demon Beasts so easily. Thank you very much!"
Lan Yuanqing first bowed to all the domain lords present to express his deep gratitude.
This time, it was indeed because of the participation of these thirty-plus domain lords that they were able to achieve the great achievement of annihilating forty-three Emperor level Great Demons with the smallest sacrifice.
Otherwise, after this battle, even if more than half of the Emperor level experts in the capital had died, they might not have been able to kill so many Demon Emperors.
After all, there were really too many Demon Emperors that came from the Qinlian Mountain Range this time. With the Emperor level reserves in the capital, it would be very difficult for them to take them down. Even if they managed to do so, they would definitely suffer heavy losses. This was definitely not a situation that Lan Yuanqing wanted to see.
"I've prepared some gifts for all of you. I'll have someone deliver them to you later. It's just a small token of my appreciation. I hope you won't refuse."
Lan Yuanqing expressed his sincere gratitude. The people below him were not surprised. They nodded in response and did not refuse.
"City Lord Lan, it's natural for us to hunt Demon Beasts to fight against the enemy. Since we've caught up to it, there's no reason for us to ignore it."
"Now, since the war is over and the crisis in the capital is temporarily resolved, shouldn't we return to the main topic and talk about the Emperor-level Soul-Refining Golden Pills?" Gu Xiuyuan asked softly.
As soon as he spoke the crowd below him.
After all, their main purpose in coming to the Capital this time was to obtain the Emperor level Golden Soul Refinement Pill that Lan Yuanqing had previously promised.
However, no one would have thought that such a good gathering would actually cause so many unexpected situations before it started.
If it weren't for the fact that their appetites had always been whetted by the Emperor level Golden Soul Refinement Pill, they would have been somewhat impatient to return to their respective territories as soon as the battle had ended.
This was because no one knew if such a large-scale Demon Beast attack this time had happened in the Capital by chance, or if it had happened in other Mountain Guard Residences as well.
As the lords of their respective territories, they were all very nervous and anxious to return home.
"That's right, City Lord Lan. Right now, the situation is unclear and everyone is worried about their territories. We really can't delay for too long. Why don't we quickly explain the matter of the Emperor level Golden Soul Refinement Pill and end this meeting earlier?"
Zhangsun Jiaci also softly urged Lan Yuanqing. Shangguan Zhizhen and the other lords also nodded their heads at the same time.
Lan Yuanqing slightly raised his eyebrows and was about to refuse when Tian Zhengyang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly retorted.
"There's no need to be in a hurry. Lord Wu Dao and Professor Gu haven't returned yet. If we rashly start this meeting, wouldn't it be a little disrespectful to them?"
Fu Zhengqing, whose presence had always been very low, also added, "Lord Tian is right. In my opinion, we should wait a little longer. There's no need to be in a hurry."
"Lord Fu!" Zhangsun Jiaci suddenly reprimanded, "Watch your words. If you don't know what to say, then don't interrupt!"
"Your Northwest is so poor that you don't even care about the Demon Beasts. Naturally, you're not in a hurry."
"But our Punan Guard Mansion is different. The Demon Race from the outer realm has always been coveting our Punan Guard Mansion. What if those Demon Race attacks our Punan Guard Mansion while I is away?"
"Our Punan Guard Mansion is not as deep as the capital. We even have as many as three Half-Step Emperors. I'm very nervous right now!"
Zhangsun Jiaci didn't dare to criticize Tian Zhengyang. He could only vent his anger on Fu Zhengqing, who was still in the King Realm.
Fu Zhengqing was so angered by Zhangsun Jiaci's scolding and ridiculing that his chest heaved up and down, the veins on his neck bulged, and his face turned red.
"Zhangsun Jiaci!"
Fu Zhengqing directly stood up with his head held high and his chest out. He looked straight at Zhangsun Jiaci and directly called his name.
"First of all, I'm the Northwest Governor. In this kind of governor level meeting, I, Fu Zhengqing, have the right to speak freely. If you, Zhangsun Jiaci, don't want to listen, you can cover your ears. No one is forcing you to listen!"
"Actually, this is the capital, not your Punan Guard Mansion's Shuangxi City. You, Zhangsun Jiaci, don't have the right to shut me up! So, before you speak, please recognize your own identity! "
"Finally, I'm the Northwest Governor because the central government of the Federation has explicitly appointed me. I'm not your subordinate. When you talk to me, pay attention to your words and attitude. If you dare to criticize me and take advantage of your seniority, I won't give you face!"
Even if he lost, he didn't lose face. That was how stubborn he was!
Yang Fan couldn't help but give Fu Zhengqing a thumbs up. He liked Fu Zhengqing's straightforward temper. When he needed to be soft, he was soft, and when he needed to be tough, he was tougher than anyone.
In this kind of semi-public diplomatic situation, the Domain Lords of each domain represented the face of their respective Guardian Manors. Even if they were weak, they couldn't give in in terms of aura. Otherwise, they would just be waiting for others to wantonly bully them in the future.
This was just like the United Nations before the apocalypse. The weaker the country, the more they had to jump around in front of the big countries that wanted to bully them. It was the same principle.
You can kill me, but you can't bully me. That's how bad my temper is!
"Mr. President, Principal Gu, President Mei, this Governor Fu Zhengqing is my Senior Brother by blood!"
After Yang Fan gave Fu Zhengqing a big thumbs up in his heart, he whispered to Sima Xuefeng, Mei Cailan, and Gu Yang beside him. He directly revealed his relationship with Fu Zhengqing. His meaning was self-evident.
Sima Xuefeng, Mei Cailan, and Gu Yang looked at each other and nodded slightly.
In fact, even if Yang Fan didn't say it, they wouldn't let Fu Zhengqing suffer here. After all, Fu Zhengqing had just stood up for Jing Hua City and caused a conflict with Zhangsun Jiaci. How could they just sit back and watch?
The people present were not fools. Why did Zhangsun Jiaci and Shangguan Zhizhen anxiously propose to convene the meeting? Wasn't it because they saw that Wu Dao, Gu Zeyan, and the other half-step Emperors hadn't returned, so they wanted to take advantage of the situation?
If Fu Zhengqing was bullied so openly just because he said a few words of justice, where would the reputation of the capital go?
Lan Yuanqing called Gu Yang, Sima Xuefeng, and Mei Cailan, the three peak Emperors, to the City Governor's Office as soon as he returned to the city. Wasn't this what he was on guard against?
"Fu Zhengqing! How dare you speak to I like this? Do you think I'm giving you face?! You're courting death! "
Zhangsun Jiaci was a little embarrassed. He stood up and without saying anything, the powerful aura of a peak Emperor-Tier instantly pressed down on Fu Zhengqing.
However, before this Emperor-Tier aura could reach Fu Zhengqing, it was dispersed without a trace by Sima Xuefeng, Gu Yang, Mei Cailan, and Tian Zhengyang at the same time.
Gu Yang and the other two were slightly stunned. They couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Tian Zhengyang. Tian Zhengyang nodded slightly at them. At the same time, he also took a deep look at Yang Fan.
It was obvious that this Region Lord Tian was also on their side.
Zhangsun Jiaci's expression changed slightly. He didn't expect that so many peak Emperor-Tier Emperors would stand up for Fu Zhengqing, who wasn't even an Emperor-Tier!
"Zhangsun Jiaci! I said it just now, and I'll say it again. We're not in a superior and subordinate relationship. You spoke rudely to me, but you still want me to give you face. Who do you think you are? My son? "
Fu Zhengqing was unforgiving. He puffed out his chest and raised his head even higher. He almost looked like he was looking at someone with his nostrils.
"Alright, alright! Stop making so much noise! "
Lan Yuanqing stood up at this time to be the appropriate person. He softly advised, "Region Lord Zhangsun, Region Lord Fu, we're all colleagues. We're all Region Lords appointed by the central government of the Federation. There's no need to be in such a deadlock."
"We'll see each other all the time. Right now, the various regions of the Federation are forming alliances. If there's any problem, one phone call, and help will come from all directions. We're all one family. We should understand each other!"
As he spoke, Lan Yuanqing turned his head to look at Fu Zhengqing. He said softly, seemingly unintentionally, "Speaking of which, the Northwest Guard Residence seems to be the first ally of our capital. Can Region Lord Fu give me some face, take a step back, and say less?"
Zhangsun Jiaci and the other Region Lords were all stunned. They didn't expect that such a powerful existence like the capital would form an alliance with the weakest of the Federation, the Northwest Guard Residence.
Lan Yuanqing's words just now were undoubtedly telling them that the Northwest Guard Residence was under the protection of the capital in the future. If they wanted to take revenge on the Northwest Guard Residence, they'd better take it easy.
Why was this?
What did the Northwest Guard Residence have that was worth the capital's attention? Not only were they the first to form an alliance with them, but they even stood up for the Northwest Region Lord so clearly?
Was it because of Yang Fan? Because Yang Fan, an Emperor-Tier doctor, was also from the Northwest Guard Residence?
Was it necessary?
Did it have to be so exaggerated?
