Since transmigrating to Wutu, Zhu Minglang found that the trajectory of his life was transforming in an inconceivable way.
Not only did he pick up a Goddess as his wife, but he also came across this Divine City, coveted by countless citizens of the Tianshu God Territory!
Thinking about how he could later become a real estate tycoon and inflate the housing prices of the entire Ancestral Dragon City-State, Zhu Minglang felt like he didn’t need to try for the rest of his life!
“It seems that Li Chuan still has many secrets we haven’t discovered, no wonder all the major powers are eying Li Chuan greedily,” Zhu Minglang continued.
The appearance of World Dragon Gate in the Li Chuan Place might not be a mere coincidence.
“Mmm, the land left by my mother might really have many special aspects that we need to excavate slowly,” Li Xinghua said earnestly.
In the ancient relics of the Absolute Ridge Chengbang, they found some things left behind by their mother, and it was through the clues from these relics that they slowly uncovered some matters about the Ancestral Dragon City-State.
Yet, many things were still shrouded in mystery over Li Chuan, such as the construction of the Ancestral Dragon City-State and the massive Dragon Bone City Wall that could withstand the darkness, without knowing how to trace back.
This place had the ancient relics of deities and possessed a Divine City capable of resisting darkness, and then World Dragon Gate was also born here…
“Miss, Miss, Emperor Wuhou has come again. He says that if you do not attend the banquet tonight, it will be seen as your defiance of the Royal Family’s decree, and they will strip you of your position as State Preceptor and even send Royal Family members to take over Li Chuan,” Yin Ling Shi Zhirou ran over hastily.In the courtyard and its vicinity, there was basically no Army Guard set up, only around the silver pine walls of the Li Family Courtyard. Normally, Li Yunzi wouldn’t allow Army Guard personnel to approach the separate courtyard, mainly for fear that the instability of her One Soul Dual Body condition would be exposed.
Therefore, all matters of state and military affairs were only delivered to her two personal maids.
“I guess it’s a Hong Gate Banquet; they sure know how to pick the time. As soon as it gets light, the organizations under the gods that have pledged allegiance from the various powers will swarm over – these days of lying low, the indignity they’ve suffered while being suppressed by the Ancestral Dragon City-State, they’ll finally be able to let it all out,” Zhu Minglang laughed.
In his absence from the Ancestral Dragon City-State for this one month, the various powers have been acting up in all manner of ways.
Either forcing Li Yunzi to relinquish the land’s ruling rights, or asking her to disband the Army Guard and withdraw all the defensive armies set up in Absolute Ridge Chengbang, Qi Xia, West Cliff, and East Mountain Range.
To open the doors wide and kneel on the ground to welcome the advent of organizations under the gods!
The intentions of these people were just too obvious.
Li Yunzi kept standing her ground and even went against the Imperial Dynasty’s commands multiple times.
Her stubbornness naturally infringed upon many people’s interests.
“Let’s go, I’ll accompany you. This night banquet should be quite lively,” Zhu Minglang said.
“Mhm,” Li Xinghua nodded.
If it were Li Yunzi, she would most likely continue to confront them head-on, but Li Xinghua herself wasn’t completely sure about going herself; having Zhu Minglang by her side was another matter.
“This atmosphere feels somewhat familiar. It seems like going back to that summer, walking a path that belongs to oneself and has integrity will inevitably anger and dissatisfy those kneeling on the ground,” Zhu Minglang said with a smile.
Originally, the Sect Palace adopted a similar approach to seize Li Chuan.
At first, Zhu Minglang couldn’t understand why everyone was so fixated on Li Chuan, holding on to the Ancestral Dragon City-State and not letting go. Now Zhu Minglang understood.
The Ancestral Dragon City-State is a unique Divine City, which will become the dark sanctuary of the entire Supreme Court. Even the Supreme Court Imperial City tens of thousands of miles away cannot compare to the Ancestral Dragon City-State!
Everyone is in a hurry; all want to take down this city-state!
…
After several factions established their presence in the Ancestral Dragon City, clear boundaries had emerged.
The Li Chuan Dragon Taming Academy had already sent a figure of the dean level along with many instructors.
The area near the Nan Family Residence, where the noble families reside, had been occupied by the major clans.
Including the Zhu Gate, all six of the Great Clans had their own complex of residences.
Among the Four Major Sect Clans, the Yaoshan Sword Sect was the first to secure a plot of land in the city center, as they were originally the presiding power here; they were now blessed with a distinct advantage.
The Miao Mountain Sword Sect was also present in the city, near the lantern-lit River Street. The Princess of Miao Kingdom, Luoshui, who is also the Sect Leader Wen Lingfei, had entered Li Chuan earlier on and spent a large sum to purchase a grand mansion complex.
At the same time, the Sword Army of Miao Kingdom had crossed the West Cliff and entered Li Chuan two months ago.
However, Li Yunzi’s Army Guard blocked the Sword Army of Miao Kingdom outside Qi Xia, not allowing them to enter the plains.
Although Wen Lingfei had been out of sight recently, her actions were quite clear.
Previously, Zhu Minglang truly thought Wen Lingfei had come to snatch a husband; now, it seems that her previous threats to Li Yunzi were mere mockery. Like other powers, her true target was the Li Chuan Continent, the Ancestral Dragon City!
The Miao Mountain Sword Sect, with a Lower God Organization behind them, and judging from the attitude of those from Sparrow Wolf Divine City, that Lower God Organization had a remarkably high status within the Tianshu God Domain. Zhu Minglang had inquired with Mi Rong and Mi Zhongyun but could not draw a definitive conclusion; he only knew other Lower God Organizations did not dare to provoke it.
“The Great Zhou Clan has also determined that they have sworn allegiance to the Ming God Clan.”
“What about the Royal Family?”
“Not sure yet, the Royal Family, despite knowing their imperial power would be challenged, still acts very prominently. They’ve probably found someone to rely on as well. Those who entered the Supreme Court earlier will eventually persuade the Royal Family,” said Zhu Minglang.
Within the Supreme Court, the Royal Family was ultimately the most formidable force.
Unless all the Lower God Organizations tacitly agreed to overthrow this native Emperor, there was still utility to be found in them.
In plain terms, as long as the Royal Family was willing to kneel and submit, they wouldn’t be left without a means to survive.
“Everyone has recognized the situation, all the major forces within the Supreme Court are looking for their new refuge,” said Li Xinghua.
“A grand reshuffling indeed.”
…
Having arrived at the venue for the night banquet, Zhu Minglang saw many familiar faces.
Especially the person presiding over this banquet, none other than the Crown Prince Zhao Ying of the Supreme Court, and by his side stood another individual, the very young prince Zhao Yu whom he had nearly cleaved with his sword!
In the midst of the crowd, the young prince Zhao Yu fixed his eyes on Zhu Minglang, his hatred for him flowing endlessly like a relentless river!
If not for Zhu Minglang’s interference with his plan, he might have soared to the heavens, overpowering Crown Prince Zhao Ying and replacing him to become the supreme voice of the Royal Family here.
This occasion today was supposed to be presided over by him!
Not standing beside his elder brother Zhao Ying like a subordinate!
“Eldest son of the Zhu, this way please. I’ve wanted to discuss matters with you several times, but alas, each attempt was deflected by your little maid. Such a pity,” Zhao Ying said with a smile, displaying a measure of humility and courtesy as he personally welcomed Zhu Minglang and his entourage.
