Monarch of Evernight: 197 distinguished guests are coming
bsp;The return of the Maelstrom Channel to the control of the Empire is good news, but it is not very good either.
After checking the condition of the passage, the Tianjishu expert specially sent by the imperial family announced with some helplessness that the passage had become very unstable. Although it could still be passed, the danger was greatly increased. If an ordinary strong person enters the passage, there is a high chance that he will perish in the passage.
The channel would not have weakened so quickly, but the Eternal Burning Flame obviously extracted the power of the void around the channel to strengthen it. When the power of the eternal flame dissipates, the void around the passage becomes extremely violent, and the passage is like threads in a storm, constantly drifting and swaying.
One way to make the channel stable again is to wait for the void to calm down again. This will take time, and it will be a long time. No one knows how long it will take, maybe it will be long enough for the Yongye army to return to a neutral place. Another way is for the empire to also dispatch the King of Heaven to re-strengthen the passage, so that the passage can be put into use again. Just after using it this time, it will take longer to repair.
After the powerful Tianjishu master from the imperial family proposed the second plan, all parties' minds automatically ignored this option. The status of the Imperial King is extremely high. Not to mention these people present, even the Emperor cannot move these high-ranking figures without proper reasons. Moreover, most of the people from various forces who needed to enter the maelstrom were sent in the first time. Those who have not entered until now, Dingtian is a figure from a low-class family. Some wealthy families have already submitted four or five candidates. Even if there are more places, it will be difficult to find suitable candidates.
Up to now, most of the people still queuing up to enter are from civilian backgrounds. Naturally, there are many people inside who are not afraid of risks, and there are many people who desperately want to gain a higher status, but no one will bother the King for these common people.
For those who have not yet entered the passage, there is only one person who is really important, and that is Song Zining himself. But neither the imperial family nor the aristocratic family felt that Song Zining should go in and take risks. The Seventh Young Master has astonishing talents in military strategy and no longer needs to rely on personal force to prove himself.
The state of the passage at this moment can be said to have extinguished most of the joy of victory. The current situation is neither a defense nor a defense. Instead, a large fleet of the empire is held in a neutral position.
This embarrassing situation only lasted for one day.
A high-speed battleship painted in light cyan suddenly appeared in outer space, rushed into the East China Sea, and headed straight for Tingchao City.
The warships on alert outside the empire made a commotion, and then lowered their guns. Because the incoming high-speed battleship is an imperial battleship, and the painted emblem on it clearly shows its identity, Beifu Legion.
In the blink of an eye, the imperial army seemed to be boiling, and warships took off one after another to greet them. Respect for a moment cannot be repeated.
Lin Xitang is still in charge of the Beifu Army, which is the direct lineage he led single-handedly. Since Zhang Boqian was promoted to Heavenly King, Lin Xitang, who was once as famous as him, has become the head of the ten marshals and the most unfathomable figure. There are legends that he is not far from the King of Heaven. If he had not fought against the Queen of Night/Lilith in the **** battle and the Battle of the Floating Land, he might have followed in the footsteps of Zhang Boqian and entered the realm of the King of Heaven.
Even before he became the King of Heaven, Lin Xitang was already recognized as the number one person in the Heavenly Mystery Arts in the empire. However, due to the face of the Li family, he did not announce it through the mouth of the emperor. This alone makes Lin Xitang a figure that no one wants to mess with, even more difficult than the King of Heaven. At least this year, no one knows Lin Xitang's true strength.
The combat power is close to reaching its peak, which makes up for Lin Xitang's last shortcoming. When it comes to evidence, leadership, and strategy, who in the empire dares to claim victory over Lin Xitang? Even the right prime minister, who is in the limelight, seems to be polite to Lin Xitang and admits that he is not as good as he is.
The imperialist party, which was becoming more and more popular, listed Lin Xitang as the spiritual leader of the imperialist party, completely forgetting the hostility not long ago. To them, it doesn't matter whether Lin Xitang is really an imperialist, as long as he doesn't deny it. Lin Xitang didn't know whether it was because he didn't notice that there was such a thing, or because he had other considerations, so he didn't deny it publicly.
At this moment, Lin Xitang has become a very important figure in the empire. There is even news that he was the one behind the scenes to promote the Battle of Floating Land. If this battle can be a complete victory, then Lin Xitang has truly become a first-level figure in the national division, enough to be listed in the history.
The Beifu Legion is Lin Xitang's direct descendant, and it is also the only direct descendant. Even the Red Scorpion is separated by a layer. This high-speed battleship of the Beifu Legion obviously came on behalf of Lin Shuai. The families didn't care who the messenger was. They were paying such respectful tributes to Lin Xitang.
Surrounded by a group of battleships, the battleships of the Beifu Legion slowly landed.
Song Zining was already waiting outside the ship. When the hatch of the battleship opened, a general wearing the uniform of the Beifu Legion walked out of the hatch, looked left and right, laughed, and said: "This is **** scenery!"
This sentence was actually quite impolite, rude and arrogant, but for the sake of Lin Shuai's face, the heads of various aristocratic families tolerated it and saluted one after another: "Welcome General!"
Only a few people felt that the man standing on the gangway looked familiar, and couldn't help but take a few more glances. It didn't matter what he saw, he immediately exclaimed: "Isn't this the Crown Prince Wei Hou!"
This shout immediately woke everyone up, and they all looked carefully. Looking at it this way, many people recognized that the person coming was none other than the prince of Bowang Hou of the Far East, Wei Potian.
Everyone quickly saluted again and said: "Welcome to the Prince of Bowang, General Qiyang!"
Wei Potian waved his hand and said displeasedly: "What do you call Qiyang? Call me Wei Potian!"
Many people are aware of Prince Wei's hobby. However, according to imperial etiquette, since the Marquis of Wei did not officially change Wei Potian's name, it was actually a big violation of etiquette for him to change his name privately. It's okay to do this in private. In such a public place, it would not be appropriate to call him Wei Potian. It is also possible if it is read by ginseng. It's just that the Wei family is a feudal prince, with strong influence and deep roots. Generally speaking, no one in the capital would do such a thankless job when they have nothing to do.
So everyone was a little embarrassed at this time and didn't know how to answer the question. Fortunately, a wise man immediately said: "Prince Wei, you have had a hard journey here." This sentence blurred the name, but everyone was happy. The crowd instantly lost their reserve and gathered around him to flatter him with great enthusiasm.
Unlike Song Zining, Wei Potian is a genuine heir apparent and has established his status as heir early on. In recent years, Wei Potian has achieved quite good results in the Far East, and his own combat power has also improved by leaps and bounds. It can be said that inheriting the throne is a certainty. This is the future Marquis of Wei. In terms of status, he is infinitely higher than the elders of other families present.
What's more, Wei Potian also wears a military uniform of the Beifu Legion, which is even more fascinating. Is this a sign of the Wei family and Lin Shuai joining forces? So is the Wei family defecting to the imperial family, or is Lin Shuai planning to leave the imperial party?
This fact is of great importance, and all the leaders and elders have made up their minds to inquire carefully after returning. However, the most important thing at hand is to win over the Crown Prince of Wei. Apart from anything else, Wei Potian was still unmarried, and the position of a Wei Marquis wife was still vacant. How could anyone not be jealous?
Wei Potian in the crowd was all smiles and kept saying hello. Compared with the vigorous old man back then, the current Crown Prince Wei is obviously much more skilled in welcoming and delivering this set of things.
Song Zining stood still, but he could not avoid the fate of being noticed.
Wei Potian waved to him from afar and said loudly: "Zi Ning, you're here too? Hahaha, why are you standing so far away? We brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, how can we not get intimate and affectionate?"
Song Zining's face suddenly turned blue, and he did not hide his displeasure. Oddly enough, the depth of his city was no worse than any veteran here, but when he saw Wei Potian, he didn't like it no matter what, and he wished he could kick him back to the Far East. Especially since this guy is still so flamboyant and insists on calling him out in public.
The dignified Seventh Young Master greeted the envoy from the Beifu Legion and paid homage to Commander Lin, not the wild boar from the Wei family.
But Song Zining stood still, but Wei Potian was not going to let him go. He kept waving and calling: "Zi Ning, why don't you come over? There are really too many people to greet you, it's a bit crowded. But It’s okay, I don’t mind, haha!”
Beside him, there was also a person who didn't know how to wink, and said: "Qi Shao, the prince is calling you! Come over quickly?" Seeing the envious look on his face, I wish I could take his place, but he is a dog-legged person. Good stuff.
Song Zining felt helpless, so he walked over, held Wei Potian's hand, and said with a smile: "Qiyang, it's been a long time indeed!"
While calling Wei Potian's real name that he didn't want to be mentioned the most, he tightened his hands and prepared to give the wild boar some color. Song Zining has always been confident about his cultivation. He doesn't seem to practice much, but in fact his cultivation has grown closely following Qianye's footsteps, and he is about to make a breakthrough recently. In comparison, Wei Potian was slightly inferior in terms of cultivation level and force level. A secret fight like a handshake contest involves the Force. How could Song Zining lose?
But as soon as he held it, Song Zining was shocked. It felt like he was holding a tiny mountain peak in his hand. Although it was small, it was extremely hard and could not be shaken by any flesh and blood body. Moreover, the mountain is steep, and the harder you exert force, the sharper the counterattack will be. The grip was so tight that Song Zining's hand ached.
Song Zining assessed the situation, and then slowly stopped his strength, with a smile on his face, and said: "It's been a while, brother Qi Yang has made some progress in his cultivation. This is really not easy. It seems that brother Qi Yang has been in good fortune recently. Seize the time to make great achievements, why come to this remote place?"
With these words, Song Zining was sarcastically saying that Wei Potian was just lucky, fearing that he would end up in a neutral place just after he broke through the cultivation level.
Wei Potian understood what he meant. He laughed and said with a proud face, "Zi Ning has a saying that is right. My luck has been extremely good recently! Haha, no, I just got it not long ago. Lin Shuai’s face-to-face guidance helped us break through several bottlenecks.”
When everyone heard that he had received personal guidance from Lin Xitang, they were greatly envious and quickly flattered him.
