“How wonderful!”
After exiting between the Heavenly Vault, Qing Yu only felt a sense of physical and mental relief, his mind was clear, even his cultivation was sped up by a few points, and Senior Uncle Xuan Zhen, who walked in at the entrance of the Great Hall, became even more clear and elegant.
em——
It seems that this is true, not a psychological effect.
The new robe is the same jade colour that she used to wear, but the style is newer, more feminine, with the ends kind of like skirts, and the material is light and soft like water, rippling slightly as she moves around.
“Has Qingduan settled in yet?” Qing Yu asked.
For the past two days Xuan Zhen had been at Su Nui Peak arranging accommodation for Qingduan and helping her get acquainted with the rest of the Su Nui Peak disciples.
“It’s arranged,” Xuan Zhen gently lifted a strand of hair behind her shoulder, “Ling’er likes this new little sister very much and takes her with her every day to play wildly. Yesterday, she already took little Qingduan to get acquainted with all the disciples and disciples in the peak.”
Saying this, she handed a delicate wooden box in her hand to Qing Yu, “Here, it’s yours.”
“Isn’t this the garment that Lian Feihong gave you? What’s the point of giving it to me?”
Qing Yu said as she opened the wooden box and saw a folded moon white daoist robe.
It was similar to Xuan Zhen’s Daoist robe in material, also woven from the silk of the Tian Qing silkworms, and even the colour was similar. However ——
Qing Yu unfolded the Daoist robe, “——”
“I think Lian Feihong knows too much.”
It was clearly a male style, made for Qing Yu. And the style matched the one Xuan Zhen was wearing, so Lian Feihong definitely knew too much.
“Shall we try it on?”
“No need, practice.” Qing Yu said decisively.
Although there were three extra years, three years was still too short for the Tong Shen realm. Now was the time to fight for dynasties, one could not focus on this side issue.
————————
A few days later, Northern Zhou, the Imperial City.
This morning’s court had a gloomy atmosphere, with the civil and military officials on both sides of the court, all looking forward to it.
Yesterday, people from the Imperial Sword Villa had arrived in the divine capital, and its owner, Xiao Qianxiu, would come to the Taihe Hall this morning to pay his respects to Zhou Emperor Feng Jiuyu, and present him with his submission, or a gift, so to speak.
“Miso miso miso–”
Suddenly, the sound of swords entered his ears, and a long river of sharp swords flew in from outside the Taihe Hall, their awe-inspiring sword intent frightening the heart and soul. The snow-white holy swords gathered into a sphere, and then the sharp swords unfolded, revealing the purple-clad swordsman within them.
“Mister Xiao has met His Majesty the Emperor of Zhou.” Qing Yu held the Nirvana Sword in one hand and lightly lifted and held up a square ice box with the other as he leaned in slightly.
“Master Xiao, I’ve heard a lot about you.” Feng Jiuyu’s gaze shone brightly as he examined Xiao Qianxiu, who was in the guise of Qing Yu, and also examined the ice box in his hand.
The civil and military officials below also looked at this Tong Shen realm powerhouse who was destined to become a great figure in Northern Zhou without a trace, as well as the ice box in his hand that housed a human head.
The ice box was made entirely of ice, and through the ice, one could still see the pupils of those angry eyes, and the handsome but fierce face. It was a gift – the head of the Sheriff God of the Six Sects of the Great Qian.
“Your Majesty, please.”
With a light lift of his right hand, the ice box slowly flew up, as if it was being held up by an invisible palm, towards Feng Jiuyu.
Feng Jiuyu raised his hand to receive the ice box, not caring about the inauspiciousness of the human head, he lifted the ice box and looked into the dead eyes for a moment, sighing, “Department Six Sheriff God Ning Wuming, a great man of his generation.”
“I still remember thirteen years ago, the late emperor extracted the elites of the various armies and formed the Heavenly Phoenix Army, wanting to prepare for the future Southern Expedition. However, before the formation of the Heavenly Phoenix Army was completed, the elite generals of the armies were frequently a*sa*sinated and many people were killed or injured. It is said that the person who conducted the a*sa*sination was the former ‘Flawless God Catcher’, now the Sheriff God, Ning Wuming.
Today, when Master Xiao presents Ning Wuming’s head, it will also be a regret for the late Emperor.”
At that time, all the ministers below knew how bad the relationship between the current Zhou Emperor and the late Emperor was, so they all shut up and did not say anything, fearing that they might accidentally cause Feng Jiuyu’s resentment.
“Ha, let’s not mention the past,” Feng Jiuyu smiled and said, “Master Xiao can stay in our dynasty in the future, and if you need anything, I can allow it.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty,” said Qing Yu, “I have no special requirements, I just want to promote the sect. Therefore, I have decided to build a sword palace outside the divine capital, where all the people of the Central Plains can come to learn swordplay.”
“Good,” Feng Jiuyu said very atmospherically, “If Master Xiao has such an idea, how could I not support it, Eunuch Leng.”
“Yes.” Eunuch Leng said in a low voice.
“Pa*s the decree to call for skilled craftsmen to quickly complete the Sword Palace. And send an order to the two states that after the Sword Palace is completed, all those who wish to come to learn the sword will have their travel expenses provided by the court, and those who have succeeded in learning the art at the Sword Palace will be treated accordingly according to their cultivation level if they join the military.” Feng Jiuyu ordered.
This promise could not be considered heavy, the so-called treatment was to directly grant the corresponding military rank. Historically, only the scholars of the Mountain River Academy would be treated similarly if they joined the military. However, if this could bring in a Tong Shen realm, it would be worth it.
Therefore, the hundred officials had no objection, and Qing Yu, who had achieved one of his aims, also said, “Thank you, Your Majesty!”
The purpose of establishing the Sword Palace was naturally to expand the scope and screen people who could cultivate the devil sword and transform their devil bodies. That crude way of creating cheap cannon fodder was better used on those foreigners who were of little concern. As for those who have become successful in learning the sword in the Sword Palace, they are still qualified to act as a bit more advanced cannon fodder.
Although still cannon fodder ——
As for joining the army, that is for the purpose of intensifying the transformation of the demon body by fighting and killing. And, this can also serve as a meritocracy.
Those who survive will be qualified for a brighter future. Those who died would contribute their blood and use it to summon the war beast Heaven Slaughter.
When all matters were finished, Feng Jiuyu rose and said in a loud voice: “All the ministers, today, Lord Xiao Zhuang has entered our dynasty, which is a shocking joy. Tonight, I will host a banquet for you all to get drunk without returning.”
“I thank Your Majesty.” All the officials said in unison.
“Your Majesty, this ice box ——” said Eunuch Leng on the side, holding the ice box that Feng Jiuyu had just handed to him casually.
“The ice box ——” Feng Jiuyu glanced at it, “It’s quite an eyesore.”
A smooth hand shake, Taihe Hall seems to suddenly sink, a majestic force swept over the hands of Eunuch Leng, the ice box by the way will become pieces of powder, its head also flew into smoke.
What’s the matter, the late emperor’s regret, just talk about it, if Feng Jiuwu is really asked to take Ning Wuming’s head to Feng Tianming’s grave to worship, then it’s better to avoid it.
If Feng Tianming really had any regrets, then the biggest regret would be not letting Feng Jiuyu, the rebellious son, go down to be with him. Feng Jiuyu even used Feng Tianming’s corpse as a suppressing object for the dragon vein, would he care about his regrets?
