Chen Beixuan and the others walked past the suspension bridge as if they did not see the officials at the end of the bridge.
However, those people were willing to stand by the suspension bridge and wait.
Chen Beixuan finally saw the largest altar in the world.
Countless colorful streamers hung on the round altar, swaying slightly in the wind. It looked mysterious.
On top of the altar, there were piles of skulls that looked like small pagodas.
There were also prayer tubes, rotating wheels, and so on. Almost all the magic tools used to subdue demons and devils were placed on it.
The entire altar was divided into three layers. The lowest layer was carved with complicated patterns that looked like little tadpoles, obscure and difficult to understand.
On the second level, there were arrays carved on it. It was scattered all over and was covered in spots of light, as if it was inlaid with gems.
The third level was where all kinds of demon-subduing magic tools were placed.
The entire altar looked grand and reassuring.
After Qin Ziyan arrived, she did not feel afraid anymore.
She left Chen Beixuan with the Dragon Sparrow Sword in her arms.
The altar that the Li Dynasty had spent a lot of money to build was indeed extraordinary.
In front of the altar, a few Zhenrens of Longhu Mountain were looking at them. They nodded slightly and did not say anything.
Chen Beixuan nodded at them and left.
He just wanted to experience it for himself. He didn't plan to do anything.
After crossing the suspension bridge, they looked back. The city wall was blocking the altar. They did not know if it was blocking their vision or their hearts.
"Your Highness, we have prepared a banquet to welcome you.”
The officials who were waiting outside hurriedly came forward to welcome him.
Chen Beixuan smiled." Aren't you afraid that Zhao Ji will be unhappy?"”
The officials and merchants immediately fell silent. Of course they were afraid.
However, they were also angry that Zhao Ji had tricked them and almost killed their precious son.
Chen Beixuan had told the servant to pass on the message to them when he entered the city.
The matter at Qingyang Lake was only fine if he said it was fine.
If he said that there was something, then there was something.
Everyone knew what kind of crime it was to assassinate a prince of the Northern Region.
Therefore, for various reasons, they still came to Chen Beixuan to hold a welcoming banquet.
"Your Highness, you must be joking. King Qingyang can't wait to welcome you. How can he not be happy?”
someone said.
" Really?" Chen Beixuan was surprised. Then I'm really flattered.”
His words were sarcastic, but those people did not dare to say anything.
"Your Highness, let's go to the welcoming banquet.”An official said in a fawning manner.
Chen Beixuan sneered.
"I'm tired today, so I won't go."
" Then I've prepared a place for you…"
"No need, I like to stay at the relay station.”
Chen Beixuan waved his hand and walked forward.
Those officials were stunned on the spot, their expressions uncertain.
It was Chen Beixuan who had called them over. Although he didn't say it explicitly, that was what he meant.
But now, they were left here like clowns. They naturally felt indignant.
It was as if Chen Beixuan was slapping them in the face.
The Mansion of Qingyang was the most luxurious building in Xiangyang City.
Although it was not as exaggerated as the Imperial Palace, it was not much different.
"Are you saying that those people are going to hold a welcoming banquet for Chen Beixuan? Hmph, you really don't put me in your eyes!”
A dignified man with a tuft of beard sat there and said coldly.
He was the master of Xiangyang City, Zhao Ji, King of Qingyang.
"Yes, Your Highness. Chen Beixuan didn't go to the banquet either.”
A white-robed scholar said indifferently.
"Hmph, this guy, letting those trash hold a welcoming banquet for him is a slap to my face.
Not going to the reception banquet is also a slap to my face.”
"He's even more overboard than his boorish father!”
Zhao Ji said angrily.
Chen Beixuan represented the Northern Territory.
Therefore, when he came to Xiangyang City, he did not come to see King Qingyang.
After all, everyone knew that King Qingyang and the Northern Region King had a bad relationship.
If anyone couldn't take it anymore, it would mean that they had lowered their heads.
"Being so arrogant in my territory, is this kid really not afraid of death?”
"Wangye, you can't be rash. Chen Beixuan had planned to go south in such a high-profile manner. Chen Kui must be watching from behind.
It was not difficult to kill Chen Beixuan, but it was difficult to deal with the Northern Region Lord.”
The white-robed scholar tried his best to dissuade him.
He was King Qingyang's hanger-on, so it was only right for him to give advice to King Qingyang.
The Northern Region King sighed.
But looking at how arrogant this kid is, I really can't take this lying down.”
"Please calm down, Your Highness. The Xiangyang Sacrifice will be held in the city in a few days.
Zhou Kunlun would definitely come back to pay his respects to his brother.”The white-robed scholar said with a smile.
The Xiangyang Sacrifice was a festival unique to Xiangyang City. It was to pay tribute to the soldiers and civilians who had died in the fall of Xiangyang City. It was quite grand.
" I see. Let's just let him continue to be arrogant. I'd like to see if Zhou Kunlun can continue to be a coward for twenty years."”
Zhao Ji smiled coldly, as if he was waiting for a good show.
The white-robed scholar looked at the sky outside the door. There were dark clouds rolling over, as if it was going to rain.
In the relay station in the city, Lian Yang directly booked this place, looking rich and imposing.
Fortunately, the relay station was specially prepared for such a large number of guests. Even 800 black-armored cavalry were enough to accommodate them.
"Your Highness, I heard that in a few days, it will be the Xiangyang Festival in Xiangyang City.”
Che Ru had a gossipy look on her face.
The three of them went out to gather information during the day, so they naturally had to tell Chen Beixuan the important information.
Chen Beixuan smiled." This King Qingyang is quite interesting."”
"On one hand, we built an altar to release the vengeful souls, and on the other hand, we set up a Xiangyang Sacrifice.
This King Qingyang had some ability to win people's hearts.”
After Xiangyang City was breached, there were less than 200,000 people left.
How to appease these 200,000 people and allow Xiangyang City to continue developing became a difficult problem.
However, after the Duke of Qingyang took office, he made a few moves that made the remaining people in the city grateful.
As for this King Qingyang, he had also converted to Buddhism after coming to Xiangyang City. He ate vegetarian food and chanted Buddha every day. He did not know if it was just for show.
"However, Your Highness, there is one thing that you must pay attention to.”Che Ru suddenly said.
"What is it?"
"Zhou Kunxiong, who defended Xiangyang City to the death, has a younger brother, Zhou Kunlun, who is a martial arts grandmaster. He will definitely come back to pay his respects!”
