In the Tang Dynasty.
As one of the top dynasties in the Nine States, the Tang Dynasty was prosperous.
'The prosperous Great Tang, countless vassal states' was the true picture of the Great Tang's strength.
Wu Zhao, the Empress of the first generation, suppressed all unconvinced people with thunderous methods and became the first person to ascend the throne as a woman in the Land of the Nine Prefectures.
She was peerless in her generation and shone for all eternity. This was the portrait of Empress Wu Zhao.
At this moment, in the Imperial Court of the Great Tang, civil and military officials lined up on both sides, their heads bowed respectfully.
On the dragon throne, a woman with black hair like clouds and a nine-phoenix hairpin was sitting quietly. She was wearing a silk robe embroidered with rivers and mountains. She was as holy as a divine lotus and was extremely beautiful. Her phoenix eyes were dignified.
She was Wu Zhao.
Below her, the members of the delinquents were reporting.
"Your Majesty, this great change in the Nine Provinces is truly unprecedented.”
"Our Great Tang has joined forces with the other Dynasties to hold a grand Martial Arts Circle Convention.”
"Countless experts are heading to Light Summit, hoping to fight to produce the heroes of the world.”
"At the same time, the martial artists of the Nine Provinces still have two thoughts.”
" First, destroy the Ming Cult."
"To the many experts in the Martial Arts Circle Convention, exterminating the Ming Cult is just a small matter.”
"More importantly, the second goal is to deal with Western Liang.”
"Back then, the Western Liang King, Ye Xiao, stepped into the martial arts world and offended many martial arts people. These people wanted revenge the most.”
" Secondly, the Li Dynasty has been spreading rumors about Western Liang in the Jianghu, which has aroused the anger of many people in the Jianghu. They want to attack Western Liang.”
"Of course, these people of the martial arts world will definitely not go against Western Liang for no reason. The treasures and cultivation techniques that Western Liang has been snatching over the years are what they covet.”
"I'm afraid that even the famous Xi Liang King won't be able to deal with the gathering of the martial artists of the Nine Provinces easily.”
Wu Zhao's expression remained unchanged as he sat on the dragon throne and listened quietly. No one could tell what the empress was thinking.
Her face was beautiful and dignified, making people not dare to have any profane thoughts.
Her red lips parted slightly, and a melodious voice sounded.
"Yuan Tiangang."
"Your subject is here."
Yuan Tiangang's entire body was covered in black clothes. He wore a mask and a bamboo hat on his head. Not a single strand of his skin was exposed. He was an extremely mysterious and powerful man.
He was also the leader of the delinquents, the delinquent marshal, and one of Wu Zhao's generals.
Wu Zhao's voice sounded like it came from the heavens. It was pleasant and solemn.
"Take the bad guys to Light Summit and act according to the situation.”
"Our Great Tang may not necessarily take action against the Ming Cult and Western Liang.”
"It's important to observe. I want to know everything that happened at the Martial Arts Circle Convention.”
"Yes." Yuan Tiangang replied.
……
In the hundreds of years since the establishment of the Great Qin Dynasty, there had been ten generations of rulers. The King of Qin, Ying Zheng, had fought for six generations and swept through the six countries, ending the chaos in the six countries. He established the Great Qin Dynasty and unified the endless territory, becoming one of the most powerful dynasties in the Nine Provinces.
The First Emperor, Ying Zheng, had even suppressed the four seas and eight wastelands. His power alone could shock the heavens and the earth.
Great Qin.
Xianyang Palace.
Ying Zheng, who was wearing a black dragon robe and a nine-tasseled crown, sat on the dragon throne like a fierce tiger lying on a barren hill, swallowing thousands of miles!
His black eyes were as calm as water as he looked down at the officials below, filled with endless majesty.
Below him, Zhao Gao, whose face was as pale as a ghost, stood quietly.
Zhao Gao was the leader of Great Qin's number one assassination organization, the Network.
In the net, there were countless experts, such as Profound Scissors, Sun Shroud, Startling Salamander, and so on. They were all top assassins of the Nine Regions.
Next to Zhao Gao was a tall, mysterious man who was covered in a black robe.
He was the leader of the Yin-Yang School, Donghuang Taiyi.
Under him were Eastern Monarch, Moon Goddess, Xing Hun, Big and Small Si Ming, and many other powerful experts who were proficient in the Yin Yang Art.
Zhao Gao slowly reported," Your Majesty, during the battle at Light Summit, all the martial arts masters in the world gathered together. They wanted to sacrifice the blood of the Ming Cult before attacking Western Liang.”
Ying Zheng's expression did not change. He remained silent. No one could guess the Emperor's thoughts.
" Zhao Gao, Donghuang," he said slowly." You two head to Light Summit and observe the situation. Don't attack for the time being."”
"Yes."
Zhao Gao's malicious eyes flashed, and he said,""Yes."
He knew that there were very few things that could move Ying Zheng.
Other than the longevity medicine and unifying the Nine Regions, Ying Zheng basically did not have any emotional fluctuations.
……
Big Ming.
The Ming Dynasty had lasted for many years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
Although it was somewhat weakened, the Ming Dynasty still possessed terrifying strength. It had millions of cavalry and countless cannons.
At this moment, Emperor Zhu Houzhao of Zheng De was wearing a golden dragon robe and sitting on the dragon throne. His aura was extraordinary.
Below him stood a man who looked dignified even though his sideburns were a little white.
He was Zhu Buduan, the leader of the Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa. His strength had reached the acme of perfection, and he could absorb the energy of others for his own use.
Under him were the four great experts of Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow, and Shangguan Haitang was the number one Black expert.
"Your Majesty, this time, the Daming Empire has discussed with the other empires to hold the Martial Arts Circle Convention at Light Summit.”
"The sects in the Nine Provinces that have a feud with the Ming Cult want to destroy the Ming Cult together.”
" Moreover, under the instigation of the Dali Dynasty, these so-called righteous people are even preparing to attack Western Liang and have shouted the slogan of crusading against Western Liang.”
Zhu Houzhao's expression was calm. After thinking for a moment, he said indifferently,"Zhu Budian, lead your experts to Light Summit. Act according to the situation and don't act rashly.”
"Yes," Zhu Bing replied.
……
Great Song, Beggar's Sect.
A group of ragged people gathered together.
Although these people were dressed in tattered clothes, each of them was an expert with unique skills.
At this moment, their faces were filled with anger.
"Sect Leader, the Ming Cult has killed so many of our sect members. We must teach them a harsh lesson!”
"That's right. Otherwise, they would think that Beggar's Sect is easy to bully!”
"One of the four elders of Beggar's Sect died in battle, and the other is seriously injured. The Ming Cult is going too far!”
"Gang Leader, what do you think we should do?”
In the middle of the Beggar's Sect, a beggar with white hair sat on a stone bench.
His name was Hong Qigong, the leader of the Beggar's Sect. His martial arts were superb, and he had mastered the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and the Dog Beating Stick Technique.
Standing beside him was a young man named Guo Jing.
Hong Qigong had no way to deal with the resentment of the people in the sect. It was extremely difficult to make people let go of their grudges.
He frowned and said,"Alright, let's go up to Light Summit and take a look."”
……
It was not just these people.
Some of the itinerant cultivators in the martial world also went to Light Summit.
Everyone had their own goals.
Dugu Qiubai, Ximen Chuixue, Xie Xiaofeng, Yan Shisan…
There was also the Wudang Sect, Shaolin Sect, Huashan Sect…
……
Dali Dynasty.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Not good, something big has happened."
A guard rushed into the hall and knelt before the Emperor of Dali, Zhao Zhu.
Zhao Zhu was wearing a dragon robe and had an extraordinary aura. Although he was old, his dignity was not any less than before.
Before he could speak, someone beside him said,"How can the imperial court be so flustered?”
The guard hurriedly kowtowed and said,"I'm guilty!"”
"Tell me, what happened?" asked a minister.”
The guard's words were shocking." The Eighth Prince…he…he was killed by Ye Nian in Mengyuan!”
Whoosh!
The moment these words were spoken, everyone in the imperial court was shocked.
"How could that be? Didn't the Eighth Prince bring Liu Songshi along? He's a Celestial Phenomenon Realm expert!"
"That Ye Nian is just a rich playboy. How could he kill Elder Liu?”
"Hurry up and tell me what happened!”
" Yes," the guard said, trembling with fear." That's what the report said. The Eighth Prince and his men met Ye Nian in Mengyuan. They wanted to snatch Ye Nian's women but were killed by him.”
" Then, Liu Songshi was furious and wanted to kill Ye Nian. Who would have thought that Ye Nian would have such terrifying strength despite his young age? He killed Liu Songshi and his attendants…"
The moment these words were said, all the officials were shocked.
"This Ye Nian seems to be only eighteen years old, but he can actually kill Elder Liu?”
"Hiss! There's actually such a prodigy in Western Liang!"
"He actually lied to us for eighteen years! I'm afraid the Western Liang King has ulterior motives!"
On the dragon throne, the old Zhao Zhu was initially calm and suppressed his anger. However, when he heard this, he was furious.
His lips trembled as he forcefully suppressed his anger and said word by word,"Western Liang! Ye Nian! You dare to kill Yi 'er?"
"Men, I want to destroy Western Liang and avenge Yi 'er!”
Facing Zhao Zhu's rage, the ministers below were all terrified.
Prime Minister Yuan Jianglong stepped forward and advised,""Your Majesty, we've already planned so much. We can't lose the big for the small!”
"The King of Western Liang still has hundreds of thousands of troops. Even if he can destroy Western Liang, the Li Dynasty will suffer heavy losses!”
" Right now, we should send people to Light Summit to stir up the Martial Arts Circle Convention. We should gather the power of the martial artists and deal with Western Liang together. This is the plan with the greatest benefits.”
"The dead cannot be brought back to life. Your Majesty, please accept my condolences!”
Prime Minister Yuan Jianglong was an important strategist in Dali. Even Zhao Zhu had to respect him. Just like Zhao Zhu, they were also one of the masterminds behind the White Shirt Case in the capital and the murder of Ye Nian's mother.
"Your Majesty, please accept my condolences!”
Zhao Zhu's expression changed drastically.
He wasn't a fool, so he knew that the Prime Minister's words were the best.
The Western Liang King, Ye Xiao, had outstanding military achievements. His army of hundreds of thousands had even stepped into the martial arts world.
If he attacked now, it would not benefit Dali at all.
Zhao Zhu suppressed his anger and sat down."Peng Shi, bring the elite warriors of Dali to Light Summit. This time, I must destroy Western Liang!”
This Peng-shaped Lion was a top-notch master in Dali Dynasty. He was also involved in the White Shirt Case back then.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" he said respectfully. I will definitely make sure that no one in Western Liang will be left alive!”
