Chapter 614: 612. Meeting in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty
Translator: 549690339
When they arrived near Tianfeng City, another top master of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty welcomed them. It was the most senior elder of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Xu Qizhen, the King of Fengning.
Chen Luoyang had already received a report from his subordinates regarding the general course of the battle in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. He knew that when the Empress of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty left Tianfeng City, the defensive array was entrusted to Xu Qizhen, the Old Prince of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
The transfer of the imperial array’s dragon energy was different from the transfer of control of the martial arts sacred land’s mountain guarding array.
To a certain extent, it was almost equivalent to giving way.
In terms of objective conditions, the successor needed to have a considerable prestige among the people of Eastern Zhou.
During the battle of the Western Qin Imperial Capital, Zhengyang City, the Western Qin Emperor, Li Ce, had an accident. The eldest son, Li Yuanbang, mounted his horse in a hurry, which was inconvenient.
Fortunately, his prestige in the Western Qin Huang Dynasty was not low. Although he was not the Crown Prince, he was able to hold the situation in time.
On the other hand, Xu Qizhen, the King of Fengning of the Eastern Zhou
Dynasty, although he was old and respected by the higher-ups of the Eastern
Zhou Dynasty, he had been cultivating in seclusion for many years and had a very low reputation among the secular people.
However, he was still able to rely on the Skyseal City’s defensive array to control the dragon energy and resist the Mountain Chieftain of Yan Ranshan, who was at the level of a titan. This was inevitable.
Could it be that the Eastern Zhou Empress and the Eastern Zhou Imperial Family had some special methods or treasures?
. Could it be related to the legendary Human Emperor’s inheritance?
Now, had the control of the city defense array returned to the hands of the Empress of Dongzhou?
Chen Luoyang had a calm expression on his face as he greeted Xu Qizhen. At the same time, he pondered in his heart.
The Dingyuan Great General Wei Chaoran was also calm, but he was secretly paying attention.
This was indeed his first time meeting Chen Luoyang in person.
However, his eldest son, Wei Ling, had obtained the Heaven Vault Stone through Chen Luoyang last year to practice his spear, which had successfully improved the Wei Clan’s Dragon Tiger Seven Saint Spear.
While Wei Ling was in seclusion and trying to break through to the eighteenth realm, Wei Chaoran also benefited from it. He practiced the Dragon Tiger Seven Saint Spear that Wei Ling had further improved.
To the outside world, they only knew that Wei Ling was in seclusion again, but they did not know the details.
To the Wei family, it was an additional secret channel.
However, both Wei Chaoran and Wei Ling knew that the new leader of the Ancient Gods Clan was unpredictable. It was uncertain whether he was a friend or a foe.
Especially since this year, the other party’s continuous actions had shocked Wei Chaoran.
Before this, both parties were on equal footing and were seeking cooperation with each other. However, the Demon Empress had gradually become a major force, making people feel as if they were facing a real giant.
It was not because of any background, but because of himself.
Under such circumstances, Chen Luoyang’s sudden visit to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty for what purpose and how he would view the Wei Clan made Wei Chaoran even more perturbed.
To a certain extent, compared to the Wei Family, the East Zhou Empire was naturally a better partner.
Perhaps the Wei Family would become a sacrifice for the cooperation between the Ancient Gods Clan and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
” Cult Master Chen, this way please. His Majesty is waiting for you in the palace. A banquet has been set up to welcome you and the members of the Ancient Gods Clan. ” Xu Qizhen, the Prince of Fengning, said with a smile.
The Eastern Zhou Dynasty had a grand ceremony. After the two sides greeted each other, they officially entered the Eastern Zhou Imperial City.
“It’s still early. There’s no rush for the banquet. I’ll have a chat with the Zhou Emperor first.” Chen Luoyang nodded.
“This way, please. This old man will report to His Majesty.” Xu Qizhen glanced at Wei Chaoran, who nodded.
Xu Qizhen left and went to report to the Empress of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Wei Chaoran continued to accompany Chen Luoyang’s group and arranged accommodation for the other members of the Ancient Gods Clan before bringing Chen Luoyang to the palace.
Outside the palace, Xu Qizhen appeared again. “Cult Master Chen, this way please. His Majesty is waiting for you. ‘
Wei Chaoran stopped and watched as Chen Luoyang and Xu Qizhen left.
Chen Luoyang strolled in the Eastern Zhou Imperial Palace. As he walked, he sensed the aura circulating in the palace.
He had once received three Dragon Qis from Li Ce, the Great Emperor of Western Qin. Although they were not with him now, he felt a sense of familiarity.
From the looks of it, it was all the atmosphere of a dynasty and did not seem to be related to the legendary Human Emperor.
After passing through a few layers of palace restrictions, Chen Luoyang suddenly felt the surrounding Yin and cold energy flourish.
He looked in the direction and saw a man standing at the side of the palace with a sad face.
The man had a closed oil-paper umbrella under his armpit as he forcefully raised his spirits and greeted Chen Luoyang. “”Cult Master Chen.”
It was Uncle Cheng, the Rain Master.
Being in the Heavenly Seal of the Eastern Zhou Imperial City, he was enveloped by the Dragon Qi of All Living Beings. He had no intention of resisting, but it dispelled the dark clouds and drizzle that followed him like a shadow.
“Mr. Cheng.” Chen Luoyang nodded. Prince Feng Ning, Xu Qizhen, who was leading the way, also greeted Uncle Cheng.
“Please follow me. His Majesty is waiting.” Uncle Cheng gently pounded his aching joints and led Chen Luoyang and Xu Qizhen into the palace hall at the side.
For some unknown reason, Chen Luoyang felt that the other party seemed to be rather depressed.
He also felt a little ashamed and humiliated.
The old prince Xu Qizhen’s expression remained the same when he saw this, but his gaze flickered slightly as if he had understood something.
Chen Luoyang seemed to be able to see the other party’s snow-white beard twitching gently.
After entering the main hall, he couldn’t see anyone, but he first saw a mountain.
A mountain of lychees.
Chen Luoyang was slightly stunned. He subconsciously recalled the first time he met the Empress of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty at the Gate of the Heavenly River. There were melon seeds that had piled up into a small mountain on the stone table.
From the corner of his eye, he glanced to his side and saw Uncle Cheng’s helpless face.
The old prince, Xu Qizhen, was as unmoving as a mountain. He coughed lightly and said, “Cult Master Chen, please.”
Chen Luoyang blinked and went around the mountain of lychees in front of him.
Behind him, Xu Qizhen’s expression finally changed as he turned to look at Cheng Shuzhi.
Uncle Cheng’s face was already filled with the expression of someone who could not bear to watch and wished he could find a hole to hide in. He silently opened his mouth at Xu Qizhen and said clearly,”l’ve already advised him. His Majesty doesn’t care.”
Hence, Xu Qizhen also sighed.
Chen Luoyang went around the small mountain in front of him and came to the other side. He saw the Empress of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty dressed in ordinary clothes.
In front of the young lady, there were many palace maids and two smaller “mountains”.
The palace maid focused on peeling the lychees.
There were two smaller ” peaks “. One was litchi skin, and the other was full of snow-white litchi flesh.
Other than the palace maids peeling lychees, there were also special people cleaning the peels and cores piled up into a small mountain.
The Empress of Dongzhou was leisurely and elegant as she calmly put the lychees into her mouth.
Her speed didn’t seem fast, and it was even a little slow. However, the snow-white ” hill ” of fruit flesh in front of her eyes disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was so fast that it was difficult for ordinary people to understand.
The speed at which the palace maids peeled the lychees together was not as fast as her eating alone.
It wasn’t until Chen Luoyang arrived that the Empress stopped what she was doing and shifted her attention from Lychee to him.
However, his cheeks were still bulging as if he was chewing and swallowing…
Chen Luoyang didn’t need to turn his head to guess the helpless expressions of Uncle Cheng and Xu Qizhen.
This person in front of him really lacked the dignity of a monarch.
Alright, although he didn’t skin it himself, he still raised his hand and put it into his mouth. It was already very hard for him not to ask someone to feed him…
Chen Luoyang cursed in his heart.
However, he did not look down on the woman in front of him.
In terms of individual strength, this seemingly incompetent female ruler was one of the giants of the mortal world, and one of the best among the giants.
If not for that, how could peak Martial Saints like Cheng Shuzhi and Xu Qizhen allow her to be so willful?
Don’t mention eating lychees, even if she ate lychee trees, the entire Eastern Zhou would be happy to support her.
“Your Majesty, you are in a good mood.” Chen Luoyang sat down unhurriedly.
“Cult Master Chen is interested. Let’s go together later. It’s just that you took the initiative to visit Great Zhou today. I wonder what advice you have?” The Empress swallowed the fruit in her mouth and looked at Chen Luoyang as she asked, “”Although your sect sent a note, it did not mention the purpose of your trip.”
“Two things, one public and one private.” Chen Luoyang tapped his fingers lightly on the table beside him. ‘”‘Let’s talk about business first. It’s about what happened in the East China Sea a few days ago.”
The Empress waved her hand, and all the palace maids retreated, leaving only Uncle Cheng and Xu Qizhen.
” Cult Master Chen said that it’s official business. In other words, it doesn’t represent you or the Ancient Gods Clan, but … ” The Empress looked at Chen Luoyang.
Chen Luoyang nodded his head. ” That’s right. It’s official business. I’m here on my master’s orders. It’s related to the Netherworld God.
Since the Demon Venerable had passed down the order to capture the Netherworld God, Chen Luoyang didn’t have to worry about using this as an excuse. Others would suspect why the Demon Venerable didn’t personally capture the Netherworld God.
For the Demon Lord, Daolord, and Ming Zun to view him with such respect and fear, the Netherworld God must have something unique about him.
Secrets were perhaps the most important thing they relied on to continuously cause trouble.
Back then, Han Mei was a Martial Emperor, but after becoming the Underworld Empress, Bai Yuping paid a huge amount of wine to get any information from her, and she couldn’t determine her whereabouts. This was evident. It was highly possible that existences like the Netherworld God could not be sensed. One had to come into contact with them in person.
“It’s Xu Peng from the Blue Dragon Island.” ” I don’t know his exact situation. The Empress rested her chin on her hand and leaned against her seat. ” I’m afraid only the Island Master of Azure Dragon Island knows. ‘
Uncle Cheng added, ” Cult Master Chen, His Majesty originally wanted to capture Xu Peng. However, he was obstructed by Azure Dragon Island Lord and Swordmaster Darknorth. He didn’t go against the supreme decree.
Chen Luoyang said, ” I will report the truth to my master. How he decides will depend on him..
Before he could finish his sentence, the Empress of Dongzhou suddenly disappeared.
Uncle Cheng and Xu Qizhen were shocked.
Chen Luoyang also revealed a stunned expression, but he quickly regained his composure. He stood up and bowed.”Master, please make a decision.” The two from Dong Zhou looked at each other.
Uncle Cheng frowned and his gaze landed on Chen Luoyang. He remained silent.
At this moment, the Empress felt that she had left the mortal world and arrived under a dark starry sky.
She did not resist. Instead, she observed everything around her with interest, trying to figure out the mysteries of this dark starry sky.
However, apart from herself, she discovered that there were two other people here. Everyone was enveloped in starlight.
“Bao Lvqi of the Azure Dragon Island greets the Autarch.”
“Surging Waves Mountain Bamboo Greetings, Autarch.”
Upon hearing their voices, the Empress could tell that they were the two people whom she had fought against in the East Sea, the Island Lord of Azure Dragon Island and Swordmaster Darknorth..
