After the immortal disappeared

Beijia Lingxu City, Qingyun Palace.

This is the main hall where the king and his ministers hold court in Beijia. Lingxu City usually holds a morning court once every half a month or more. Usually, the Demon Emperor would drag a few ministers to the small hall to discuss matters.

Today's court meeting was nothing more than the same old three topics: the high wall plan, the war against Mou, the emperor's flow of blood, and personnel appointments and dismissals.

There was a lot of arguing going on below, and the Demon Emperor quietly suppressed a yawn on the Panlong Pillar. These humans obviously have such a short lifespan, but they like to kill time with verbal battles, repeating the same old things over and over again, which is really strange.

The war between Beijia and Mou has been going on for many years. Recently, both sides have expressed their intention to cease fire. The current situation is to fight and negotiate. If the conditions proposed by both sides cannot be agreed, they will fight again to accumulate more bargaining chips for further negotiations. The war between the great powers can drag people to exhaustion, and it is almost becoming an eternal theme in the court.

The conditions proposed by Mou State this time are to return the three territories occupied by Xuan State.

The territories of Beiga and Mou are not directly adjacent, and there are two or three small countries in between, and Xuan is one of them.

These small countries are not only pawns in the game between big powers, but also bargaining chips for both sides.

They argued about this for half an hour. After listening for a while, the Demon Emperor suddenly said, "Since the death of Master Qianhuan, I think Lingshan and Mouguo don't want to fight anymore."

The deaths of Miaozhantian and Qianhuan were both severe blows to the Heavenly Palace and Lingshan, and also indirectly affected the strategies of Beijia and Mouguo.

"Has anyone figured out what happened in Upside Down Sea?"

The Demon Emperor was also puzzled by Miao Zhantian's death. However, He Xiao was not the only one who came out of the Upside-Down Sea alive. It had been dozens of days, so was there no new information?

Someone came up to report: "Several hundred disciples of Qianhuan are still alive and followed He Xiao back to the Flashing Gold Plain. They did not hide the past events of the Upside-Down Sea and often mentioned them in their daily conversations. They all said that Miaozhan Tianzun and Qianhuan Zhenren almost perished together. They saw it with their own eyes."

"So, the only beneficiary of the Upside-Down Sea Battle is He Xiao?" The Demon Emperor exhaled heavily, and the temperature in the hall dropped by at least several degrees.

The ministers knew that the emperor was in a bad mood.

In the battle of the Upside-Down Sea, the survivors will be the kings. At present, it seems that He Xiao has inherited all the inheritance of Qian Huan and Miao Zhantian, and even the sect founded by Qian Huan has been incorporated into He Lingchuan. Tiangong and Lingshan P are both gone, and the loss is heavy.

The Demon Emperor also knew that Saint Lingxu was furious recently because Miao Zhantian’s death caused the Lingxu gods to lose nearly a thousand Dragon Punishment Pillars!

There were only more than two thousand of them in the entire heaven. The Lingxu gods had painstakingly collected the stock for one hundred and fifty to sixty years, but Miaozhantian destroyed it all in one go.

This thing is directly related to the descent of gods and the distribution of the power of gods in the human world. The Dragon Punishment Pillar in the hands of the Lingxu gods is gone, so they can only think of another way. Isn't there still half of it in the hands of other gods?

So just as the Demon Emperor knew, the entire heaven has been extremely turbulent recently, and it is not just the Lingxu gods who are fighting and scheming against each other.

However, the focus of the debate in the Beijia court was not here.

The reason is very simple: What does the fighting in heaven have to do with Bejia? The middle and low-level officials don't know the details, and they worry about the small piece of land under their control every day.

Qing Palace Imperial Master Nie Xiaolou took the opportunity to step forward and said loudly:

"He Xiao calls himself the Great Emperor of Jiuyou and is under the banner of the reincarnated Dragon God. He is now out of control in the Shining Gold Plain. His ambition is obvious. He intends to annex the entire Shining Gold Plain. The Qingyang Protector is alone in Yaodi and cannot do anything..."

Before he finished speaking, a minister took over and said, "The Qingyang Protector is no longer an official of our country, but the Protector of the Heavenly Palace. Her dispatch and assistance should be sent by the Heavenly Palace. Besides, Beijia is more than ten thousand miles away from the Shining Gold Plain. Even if we send people there, it will take more than half a year to get there by land and sea."

Everyone knows that Tiangong has its own system and personnel. Even without the help of Beiga's administrative and military power, it is extremely powerful.

Nie Xiaolou said: "He Xiao recruited soldiers in the Golden Plains and formed an army of hundreds of thousands or even millions of people. The Heavenly Palace is not good at this."

"Recruiting troops? Can a battle-hardened army be formed in three to five months? He Xiao has been doing business in Yangshan Islands for several years. When he first arrived at the Shining Gold Plain, he was just a businessman. There was only one Chamber of Commerce when he returned to the Shining Gold Plain from the Upside-Down Sea. Haha, if a mere businessman could annex Shining Gold, then wouldn't those tyrants and bandits in the Shining Gold Plain have died with regrets in the past thousand years?"

"The identity of a businessman is just a cover that He Xiao has been using to deceive people who don't know the truth." Nie Xiaolou glanced at him coldly, "He is the culprit who burned down the Zhaixing Tower back then, and he has a close connection with the Dafang Pot--"

He said word by word: "Everyone who has been related to Dafanghu in the past has been a big worry for Beijia. If we don't take him down before he becomes powerful, he will become the second most powerful person in Panlong City in the future!"

He mentioned Panlong City, and the ministers kept silent. After all, He Xiao's past hidden history was indeed a bit out of the ordinary.

Nie Xiaolou sneered secretly.

If the one who was standing here and speaking today was the Qingyang Imperial Master who had not yet been demoted, how could these ministers have so many opinions? They immediately said "I second the motion".

He, Nie Xiaolou, is Qingyang's successor. The competition for the position of Qinggong National Master lasted for a year and a half, so he has only been in office for more than two years. Before that, he was the principal of Tongshan Academy. Although his prestige and character are obvious to all in Lingxu City, they are still far inferior to Qingyang himself.

After all, he did not have 200 years of experience, and there were many people who were dissatisfied with him taking over the position of Qing Palace Imperial Master.

Immediately, a minister followed up: "I heard that the prince of Chiyan is in Yangshan Islands, which is not far from the Golden Plains. How about..."

"Prince Chiyan has a history with He Xiao. Are you sending him to deal with He Xiao or to help him?"

Someone else stood up and said, "Be careful what you say! If it weren't for Prince Chiyan staying in the Yangshan Islands, Beijia's military power would not be able to extend to the rear of the Mou Kingdom!"

When the topic of Mou State came up, the officials became excited, and soon someone suggested, "Why don't we add one more condition to the negotiation with Mou State, asking them to hand over He Xiao's detailed information. He Xiao worked for Lingshan, and Mou State must have a criminal record on him."
