Sheng Fu

Chapter 1254 A Magnificent Transition

The following day, in the morning.

Human race, outside the imperial capital.

Li Hongshan, Bai Xiaowei, Shen Jun, Gu Yue, and other important officials personally went out of the city to welcome him.

Last night, news of the Demon Queen's visit spread throughout the capital, generating various public opinions.

The people of the capital city are not as integrated as the people of other human realms. Because they were born in the capital, they have an inherent sense of pride. Even if they are just ordinary people who live at the bottom of society, they have an inexplicable sense of superiority.

In people's minds, the Queen of the Demon Realm rose to power through a coup, was a woman, and was the weakest monarch before her. As a result, many people harbored some prejudice against her deep down.

Lacking in strength and incompetent in politics.

Today's spectacle is grand enough, with heavy cavalry leading the way and music playing in abundance.

Many ordinary people felt that there was no need for such a grand display when entertaining the Queen of the Demon Realm.

These people always remember the war between the human race and the demon realm. Half of the demon realm's territory was already destroyed. Now, a demon realm queen is coming, and they are being given such a grand reception. It all seems unreasonable.

Perhaps there was an element of hatred involved, but the common people felt that the Demon Queen was weak and did not deserve such a grand display.

The people genuinely felt that the current alliance of the three races was entirely supported by His Majesty the Human Emperor. Although Yuwen Jun was famous throughout the world, he was weak in strength, and the young ruler of the Spirit Race was illiterate.

The implicit comparison of strength gives the human race a sense of confidence and arrogance when facing the spirit race and the demon race.

This is human nature, and also animal nature.

However, the capital city is ultimately a melting pot of all sorts of people; just as there is light rain in the water, there are also dragons deep beneath the surface.

Many scholars and people with considerable experience in the martial arts world felt that the Queen of the Demon Realm should be given a grand welcome, and given the suddenness of her visit, she was clearly planning something big.

Although the three-race alliance has begun trade, many details have not yet been fully implemented.

Some merchants, however, were thinking about whether they could make a fortune in the Demon Realm in the future.

Different ideas create a myriad of human experiences.

Two majestic and radiant golden lions pulled the chariot. Surrounded by a group of demon realm experts, the Demon Realm Queen, dressed in a deep red dress, slowly stepped out of the chariot, her unparalleled beauty catching everyone's eye.

"Welcome, Your Majesty!"

At the forefront, Bai Xiaowei and Li Hongshan stepped forward and bowed deeply in worship.

There were also many onlookers around. Seeing the Demon Queen's demeanor for the first time, they did not think that she was a queen. They just thought that she was very beautiful, beautiful and aloof, naturally radiant.

"No need for formalities!" Guang Liyu gently raised her hand, her voice soft and clear, echoing in everyone's ears.

Li Hongshan and Bai Xiaowei slowly straightened up and made way for each other.

A golden avenue stretched out from the direction of the palace, and the deep, resonant voice of the Emperor rang out: "Is it not delightful to have friends coming from afar?"

Amidst the watchful eyes of the masses, the Demon Queen stepped onto the golden road, making her way towards the depths of the human royal palace, a spectacle that was truly dazzling and mesmerizing.

A banquet has been set up inside Jinhua Palace.

However, today's banquet is for human officials and demon officials, and the person in charge is His Highness Prince Ping.

On the Flying Dragon Platform.

The Emperor stood at the forefront with his hands behind his back, while Guangli stood behind him, equally proud and upright, her figure surging like waves.

"Do you still like this pomp and circumstance?" the Emperor asked with a smile.

Guangli paused slightly, then replied, "The scale is indeed grand, but I imagine the scale will be no less when we head to Lingdu tomorrow."

"Yuwen Jun's intention is for you to take charge of the overall situation and buy time."

"The troubles to come will not be resolved by one or two large-scale battles."

"You should be aware of this." The Emperor said with a bitter expression, "Of course I am aware of this, but it is somewhat unpleasant to know in this way. It even requires us to give each other a grand show in order to stabilize people's hearts and public opinion."

"Literati and scholars do enjoy such grand ceremonies."

Guangli looked at the Emperor's retreating figure and said solemnly, "Yuwen Jun has entered the Boundless Realm."

"The profoundness of Tao is unfathomable; I cannot fathom it."

The Emperor's heart trembled; it seemed his plan with the young master of the Time Clan was going very smoothly.

As long as things go smoothly, the Emperor would be more than happy if Yuwen Jun could enter the Myriad Realms right now.

"Your sudden visit must have a reason. Have you thought of a reason? What is the purpose of your visit?" the Emperor suddenly asked.

In fact, the Emperor himself hadn't come up with a reason, so he asked this question, needing a reason to deal with the masses.

Guangli looked troubled and said, "It could be strengthening defense exchanges. That's a perfectly valid reason and enough to shut up any dissent."

"We can form a joint army of humans and demons in the northern city to jointly defend against the northern enemy."

The Emperor nodded and said, "Very well."

"Given the current situation, any strategic plans we formulate are meant to be seen by the world."

……

The following day, in the morning.

Outside Lingdu.

King Linghe, Bei Hanmeng, Tang De, Qiu Yu, and other important officials of the court all came out of the city to welcome the arrival of the Demon Realm Queen.

The ceremony was as grand as ever, with people lining the streets to welcome the guests. Music and dance filled the air, and the radiance of the Nine-Colored Lake permeated the sky above the capital.

Unlike the human people's view of the Queen of the Demon Realm.

The people of the Spirit Clan have a rather favorable impression of this Demon Realm Queen. There are rumors circulating that the Demon Realm Queen and the current Regent of the Spirit Clan had a past relationship.

Whether this story is true or false, no one knows, and no one dares to investigate.

However, there is one thing that the Spirit Race people must have in high regard for this Demon Realm Queen: Her Majesty the Queen has appeared on the battlefield of Starry Sky City and also on the battlefield outside Iron Mang City.

Within the Sky City, a large elite army of demons was also stationed.

In contrast, the Eldar people had a much deeper affection for this queen.

Therefore, no matter how grand the spectacle, the Eldar people would consider it worthwhile.

Inside the palace.

With the regent Yuwen Jun absent, the regime was essentially without a leader.

Bei Hanfei and the Queen of the Demon Realm strolled together along the quiet path in the Imperial Garden.

"The new policies of the Spirit Clan will gradually be implemented. The reason why the three races are united is precisely because of the implementation of these new policies. Your personal visit to the Spirit Clan will greatly benefit the implementation of their new policies," Bei Hanfei said with a leisurely smile.

The new policies of the Spirit Clan will take root sooner or later, but Guangli has no time to care about them at the moment. After thinking it over, she decided to tell the truth and secretly transmitted her voice: "The Demon Lord has awakened and is now at the Half-Step Myriad Ends."

"But there is still a mysterious being at the half-step Wanduan level lurking in the shadows. That being was already at the half-step Wanduan level long ago. Everything we are doing now is to buy time for Yuwen Jun."

"He has entered the realm of Wuji."

"The great struggle to come will be a struggle of all kinds."

"You should know this matter alone. Right now, the Emperor is the one publicly bearing the brunt of it. Yuwen Jun didn't ask me to tell you these things, but I think you have the right to know."

Bei Hanfei's eyes momentarily glazed over, but then brightened again in an instant.

The Empress Dowager of the Spirit Clan said with unwavering conviction, "I have always believed in him!"
