Hearing Elder Li's words, not only Shui Zhongyue, even Ling Chen was stunned.
The Empress of the Firmament Empire was Shui Zhongyue's sister?
If this was true, then weren't these two sisters a little too heaven-defying?
She had been the Empress of the Immensity Sea Imperial Palace for more than twenty years, the highest ruler of the sea in name, and one of the most powerful women in the Tian Xuan Land.
Then, at the critical moment, he ran away from the Eternal Sea Imperial Palace and started from scratch. He then founded Remote Ocean, an organization that was stronger than most of the top forces. He had been at odds with the giant Eternal Sea Imperial Palace for decades.
The other one was given to the Firmament Empire's previous emperor for adoption at the age of eight, and then became the empress of the Firmament Empire as an adopted daughter?
Although this world respected strength, and as long as one had strength, it didn't matter whether they were male or female. However, there were very few women who became emperors.
Shui Zhongjing's methods could be seen from the fact that she was an adopted outsider who had defied public opinion and ascended to the throne.
"Is what Elder Li said true?" Shui Zhongyue was surprised. She had thought that it would be good if Shui Zhongjing was still alive. She did not expect her sister to become the Heavenly Empress.
"Shui Zhongjing has indeed become the empress of the Firmament Empire. I'm not sure if she's your sister, but I'm pretty sure she's definitely your sister.”Elder Li nodded.
"In that case, Elder Li can leave. I promised you that if you answered my question truthfully, I would let you live.”Shui Zhongyue nodded, indicating that the burly man of the Sea Tribe could leave.
Elder Li hesitated for a moment and suddenly said,""I want to stay in Remote Ocean. I wonder if Leader can take me in?”
Shui Zhongyue was stunned. She would naturally welcome a half-step Martial Supreme who wanted to stay in Remote Ocean and work for her. However, Elder Li was one of the higher-ups of the Immensity Sea Imperial Palace. He was definitely a big shot in the ocean.
Although Tranquil Ocean was not weak, it could not compare to the Immensity Sea Imperial Palace. Elder Li did not have to give up the high and mighty position of the Immensity Sea Imperial Palace and come to Tranquil Ocean to be someone's subordinate.
It didn't make sense!
Shui Zhongyue didn't hide anything and asked directly,""Elder Li holds a high position in the Immensity Sea Imperial Palace.”
Elder Li said in a deep voice,"All these years, in order to support the Jade Water Dragon and stabilize its position in the sea, the Immensity Sea Imperial Palace has been perverse and cruel. It has long caused the living beings in the sea to complain."
"I worked hard to become one of the decision-makers of the Eternal Sea Imperial Palace in order to change this situation. Unfortunately, in the end, my strength was insufficient.
There were some people in the imperial palace who only liked to enjoy themselves. They thought about how to raise the Jade Water Dragon well and then become the ruler of this sea under its wings, obtaining more benefits. However, he did not know that the Eternal Sea Imperial Palace was already in trouble.
This old man has been in the Imperial Palace of the Eternal Sea for many years and has seen the disgust of these idiots. In the past, I was worried that my arms could not win against their thighs and could only be ordered around by them in the Imperial Palace of the Eternal Sea.
Now, this old man saw the hope of overthrowing the Imperial Palace of Eternal Sea, so he naturally abandoned the darkness and joined the light.
Please let go of the past and take me in.”
At the end of his sentence, Elder Li cast his gaze on Shui Zhongyue.
What he said was not a lie. Originally, he was not used to the style of the Eternal Sea Imperial Palace. He joined the Eternal Sea Imperial Palace only to change this. Later, he found that he was unable to change it, so he had long been disheartened.
He had no choice but to come to the Tranquil Ocean with the other four.
Now that a Martial Monarch Realm expert had openly made an enemy of the Eternal Sea Imperial Palace, although the Eternal Sea Imperial Palace still had its foundation, it could no longer sit back and relax like before.
He also saw the hope of leaving the Imperial Palace of the Eternal Sea and no longer helping the wicked, so he naturally would not hesitate.
Shui Zhongyue hesitated for a moment before looking at Ling Chen.
She was actually quite tempted to take Elder Li under her wing, but she couldn't ignore Ling Chen's intentions.
"You can decide for yourself about Remote Ocean.”Ling Chen said nonchalantly. He was just a half-step Martial Emperor, so it was fine if he came sincerely. If he had evil intentions, he would not be able to cause much trouble.
Shui Zhongyue nodded and said to the man,""Since Elder Li is willing to give up the darkness and join the light, you can be the first priest of Remote Ocean.”
Among the various powers in the Tian Xuan Land, the position of a consecrator was considered a rather special one.
The major factions usually provided cultivation resources for the consecrators to cultivate. During wartime, the consecrators had to listen to the orders of the factions and work for the sect.
However, the consecrators did not participate in the decision-making of the operation of the forces. They were basically idle jobs that only cared about cultivation and fighting.
Shui Zhongyue was actually wasting his talent by giving such a position to Elder Li, who was a half-step Martial Monarch Realm expert. However, the other party had just left the Imperial Palace of Eternal Sea and joined Remote Ocean. It was indeed more appropriate to give him an offering.
Elder Li also understood this and quickly said,"Thank you for taking me in, Leader!"
Seeing that the matter was settled, Ling Chen immediately said,"Alright, since you've dealt with it, let's go back first.”
Shui Zhongyue and Elder Li naturally wouldn't object.
A moment later, Ling Chen brought the two back to Remote Ocean's lair.
At this moment, the tense war had returned to its usual tranquility. Countless ordinary people and low-level cultivators of Remote Ocean were busy repairing the buildings that had been damaged by the aftermath of the battle.
Shui Zhongyue arranged for Elder Li and ordered her subordinates to focus on collecting information about the Heavenly Empress. Then, she returned to her bedroom.
As for Ling Chen, he was already waiting for her here.
"You…why are you still here?" Shui Zhongyue felt her pretty face heat up.
"Oh? Why can't I be in my Imperial Concubine's bedroom?”Ling Chen smiled as he walked to Shui Zhongyue's side, pulling her into his embrace.
"You…the sky hasn't turned dark yet, and this is too sudden. This concubine…isn't ready yet.”Shui Zhongyue shyly struggled, but how could she break free from Ling Chen's demonic claws?
Shui Zhongyue felt that she must have gone crazy when she thought about how she was being hugged by a man she had just met for a day without much resistance.
"This kind of thing happens once or twice, so there's no need to prepare.”Ling Chen said with a mischievous smile, his hand already reaching towards the mysterious area.
"Don't…Wuu…"
……
Early in the morning, Ling Chen walked out of his bedroom feeling refreshed. Looking at the tens of millions of people working in the headquarters, he couldn't help but praise Shui Zhongyue.
Shui Zhongyue had been tormented by Ling Chen for the entire night. Although she was a half-step Martial Emperor, she was so tired that she fell asleep.
Seeing Ling Chen come out, the maid outside hurriedly said,"If guye needs anything, you only need to inform this servant.”
As he spoke, he did not forget to secretly look at Ling Chen.
He was young, handsome, and powerful. No wonder even a proud woman like their leader was conquered by him.
Moreover…
The little handmaiden couldn't help but blush when she thought of the commotion she had heard outside the door last night.
This was too strong!
