Chapter 459: Crowds gathered from all directions
The next day, it was noon.
The three teams arrived at the three city gates outside the "Martial Spirit City". Under the guidance of the reception staff arranged by the [Martial Spirit Hall], they stationed themselves in four large courtyards in the city.
"Oh? Emperor Xueye and the others have arrived?"
In a courtyard somewhere in the east of the city, Ling Yi looked at Ling Qi who came to report the news and asked with interest.
"Yes." Li Qi nodded and said, "Emperor Xue Ye and Ning Zong of the [Seven Treasures Glazed Sect] came together. The great elder of the [Haotian Sect], 'Shengtian Douluo' Tang Sheng brought Tang Xiao Along with the two brothers Tang Hao, the leader of the [Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Family], ‘Thunder Douluo’ Yu Yuanzhen, came in person.”
“Tsk~” Ling Yi raised his eyebrows slightly. This battle is really quite big. Hearing that Xiang Qi stopped talking, he then asked: "Where is [Xingluo Empire]? Where are they?"
[Tiandou Empire] and Shangsanzong Everyone is here, there is no way [Xingluo Empire] will not come. Even if it's not there yet, it shouldn't be too far away.
Li Qi’s answer was not as expected by Ling Yi. He responded without thinking: “According to the news along the way, the team over there in the [Star Luo Empire] should be in the sixties now. They are repairing in the small town outside Yuli.
Like the [Tian Dou Empire], they are bringing a cavalry team of ten thousand people and need to carry some food and supplies, so the journey is slower, probably until the afternoon. Only then can we get there.”
Hearing this, Ling Yi nodded slightly. Also, traveling for a large army is definitely not as convenient as traveling for a small group of soul masters. The food and supplies that humans eat and horses chew cannot be fully afforded by a small group of storage soul tools and food-type soul masters.
Although [Blacksmith Association General Assembly] and [Aoki Chamber of Commerce] have begun to sell a small amount of storage soul guides, storage soul guides on Douluo Continent no longer have to rely on digging ancient ruins. It has become a sustainable production equipment, but the ones sold at the store counter are basically small storage soul guides with one cubic meter. A few storage soul guides with a space of five cubic meters and ten cubic meters are given away. Only by auctioning at auction can you maximize your profits.
Using storage soul guides to store military supplies requires too much quantity and too high cost. Even the two empires cannot support it. The most they can do is equip the generals in the army with some. , can be used in emergency situations.
As for food-type soul masters, talents are scarce. Those below the third-ring soul master are limited in strength, which can be said to be a drop in the bucket. Everyone above the third-ring soul master is a treasure, and they will basically not be easy unless necessary. Let them take action.
In other words, this trip is not for fighting. Neither Emperor Xueye nor Emperor Xingluo Dai Tianqi will arbitrarily consume the soul power of the food department soul masters accompanying the army.
Good steel must be used on the blade!
Soon, another two days passed, and the time came to October 1, 2623 in the Douluo Calendar.
In the past two days or so, in addition to the two major empires and the upper three sects, many forces have arrived in "Martial Spirit City" one after another.
All the next four sects are here, [Elephant Armor Sect], [White Armor Earth Dragon Sect]...
All seven major families behind [Great Soul Fighting Arena Alliance] are here, [ House Menethil], [House Lancetro]...
These are all top-notch forces that can be named in the Douluo Continent. There are multiple Contra-level strong men inside, and the strong ones can even reach the Title Douluo-level combat power.
Further down, those influence can only be limited to one city and one place. The strongest person in the family is no more than the Soul Saint, or there is only one second-rate force who has barely entered Contra.
In the dim light of the morning, the formerly deserted "Martial Spirit City" has become extremely lively in recent days. Counting dozens or hundreds of years ago, it was only when His Majesty the Pope ascended the throne that he was so grand. Many old people in [Martial Soul Hall] couldn't help but look at this scene with nostalgia and sadness in their eyes.
In the large square in front of the Pope's Palace, it looked different from when Ling Yi came three days ago. A circular platform with a height of more than ten meters and a diameter of over a hundred meters appeared out of thin air. Around the high platform, a circle of viewing platforms was built for spectators to sit separately.
After several gongs rang, Pope Qian Xunji took the lead in taking the stage with a pair of twin brothers who had similar looks. He went straight to the gilded chair in front of the Pope's Hall and sat down on it. The twin brothers stood separately. Chihiro quickly stood behind her to protect herself.
Qian Xunji's appearance seemed to turn on a switch. Immediately afterwards, [Haotian Sect] Great Elder Tang Sheng appeared with two brothers, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, and sat on another car more than ten meters away to the left of Qian Xunji. A large gilt chair.
Yu Yuanzhen of [Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex Family] entered the venue almost at the same time as Tang Sheng, sitting on the big gilt chair more than ten meters to the right of Qian Xunji, behind him was his second brother Yu Luo Mian, and Yu Yunyang, the seventh elder of the clan.
[Tian Dou Empire] Xue Ye Emperor and [Seven Treasures Glazed Sect] Ning Fengzhi arrived hand in hand. Their seats were on the right side of Yu Yuan Zhen, also more than ten meters apart.
Compared to the previous three families who all agreed to bring only two people, Emperor Xueye and Ning Fengzhi brought a little more people. After sitting down, there were seven or eight people around them, basically all of them. They are seven-ring soul saints, and one or two Contra-level experts.
After Emperor Xue Ye sat down, he did not immediately communicate with Ning Fengzhi on the right, but looked at the position directly opposite.
There, there were two large gilt chairs that were exactly the same as those sitting under him and next to Ning Fengzhi, Yu Yuanzhen, Qianxunji, and Tang Sheng. At the same time, they are also the only two gilt chairs left in the square in front of the Pope's Palace.
In other words, at today's title ceremony, there were only seven gilt chairs, and they happened to occupy this side in front of the Pope's Palace.
The seven chairs, with the position under Chihiroji as the center, exactly form a '︵' curve, facing the high platform in the square in front of the Pope's Palace.
Of course. , it is not that there are no seats outside, but compared to the large gilt chairs where Qian Xunji and the others sit, the regulations are a notch lower, which clearly shows the clear hierarchy.
As Xingluo Emperor Dai Tianqi and Queen Zhu Ziling arrived, they sat on a large gilt chair together. Behind them were five civil and military officials of different shapes, either wearing armor or robes. Each seat was occupied by a powerful person.
Everyone has a tacit understanding. Those who are strong will move forward and be closer to the big bosses above. Those who are weak will consciously move closer to the outside. Basically, no big-headed person will stand up and make any sensational moves at this time. .
Time passed slowly, and when the venue was almost full, Dai Tianqi glanced at the only empty chair on his left, turned to Qian Xunji on the main seat and asked calmly: "His Majesty the Pope, isn't today's protagonist coming on stage? This air is a bit too big~"
As soon as he said this, the huge Pope's Palace fell into absolute silence, and everyone was silent. Set your sights on the aloof Pope Qian Xunji.
When Emperor Xue Ye heard Dai Tianqi's words, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curved into an imperceptible smile.
However, before the smile could be fully realized, a voice that surprised everyone sounded from the side.
"Emperor White Tiger is so busy with government affairs in the empire? He can't even wait for this little time?"
Hearing this, Dai Tianqi sharpened his eyes and looked around, only to see the members of the [Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Family] Yu Yuanzhen looked at him with a faint smile.
‘Yu Yuan Zhen? ! ’ Dai Tianqi narrowed his eyes slightly, hiding the surprise in his eyes.
Not only Dai Tianqi was surprised, everyone who looked at him was shocked and looked back and forth between Yu Yuanzhen and Dai Tianqi.
"What's going on? I haven't heard of any conflict between [Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Family] and [Star Luo Empire]?!" "Yes! [Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Family] has not always stood neutral. Whether it is the [Tian Dou Empire] or the [Xing Luo Empire], are they all dealing with each other in a harmonious way?”
"Then tell me, what is going on now?"
"Who knows! It can't be to protect Master Ling and [Lingyun City] -"
"Ha! You really dare to think that with the temperament of the Yu family, it would be good if you don't despise Master Ling's grassroots background, and still defend it?"
"Yes! If you really defend it, I will be in "Martial Arts" Streaking outside Soul City”
"Add me, I don't believe it either. If it is, then I will..."
Among the many large and small forces below, everyone started talking about the above two sentences, and each speculated about these two sentences. The boss’s true intentions.
Dai Tianqi obviously went to Ling Yi and [Lingyun City]. As for whether he would use this to have any impact on Pope Qian Xunji and [Martial Soul Hall], only Dai Tianqi himself knows .
As for Yu Yuanzhen’s words, is he going to [Xingluo Empire], or has some unknown relationship with [Martial Soul Palace], or is he going to [Lingyun City] for Ling Yi? , was the focus of discussion among everyone present.
"Thunder Crown's words are wrong~"
At this moment, another person who surprised everyone spoke.
It’s Emperor Xueye!
I saw him looking indifferent, first looking around the audience, and finally his eyes stopped on Tang Sheng, and said loudly:
"It is inevitable that His Majesty Tianqi is busy with domestic government affairs, but he is still very busy. He personally came to the "Martial Soul City" to participate in the Title Ceremony, which shows that he attaches great importance to this ceremony."
"However, now that we spectators are here, some of the protagonists are still reluctant to come. Showing up, are you a bit neglectful?”
"Boom——!"
With Emperor Xue Ye's speech, the spectators in the audience suddenly burst into laughter, their eyes widened, and everyone had a feeling of cognitive subversion. .
“Holy shit! What’s going on?! Emperor Xueye actually spoke for Emperor White Tiger——?!”
“That’s right! If I remember correctly, at this time last year, two families We fought dozens of battles on the border, and at least tens of thousands of people died!"
"Oh, I feel so dizzy today. In the "Mystic Butterfly" nest in the "Canyon", right? ”
"Pah——!"
"Hi——! Damn it! Why did you hit me?!"
"Brother Su, didn't you say that as soon as you start to doubt reality, you will let Shall I give you a slap? Are you awake now? Do you want a few more?"
"Uh...no...no need..."
There is no one in the farce. Pay attention, everyone is paying attention to the three companies that just spoke on the court, and they are also looking forward to whether the other three companies will also perform amazingly.
Sure enough, everyone's expectations were not disappointed. The next moment Emperor Xue Ye spoke, Tang Sheng, the great elder of [Haotian Sect] looked thoughtfully at Xue Ye, Yu Yuanzhen, and Dai Tianqi. The two brothers behind them, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, looked at each other with surprise, and said with a smile:
"Don't be anxious, your majesties. Since we are here today, we won't have to wait for such a long time." No, just wait..."
Although it sounds like he is trying to be a peacemaker and trying to persuade, people with a discerning eye can easily see that Tang Sheng is on Yu Yuanzhen's side. Yes, he is also endorsing Ling Yi and [Lingyun City] who have not yet appeared.
“Pa—!”
“Eh? Brother Su, why are you beating yourself up?”
"Hiss! It hurts, isn't it a hallucination? There's no reason? Didn't Master Ling have a conflict with Tang Hao four years ago? I saw it with my own eyes, what's going on now?!"
Compared to because of strength It was acceptable, so those individual soul masters and small teams of soul masters who had sneaked in to watch the ceremony, and all the second-rate or above soul masters who had a certain amount of power on and off the field, all noticed something at this time, and they all remained silent. Silently, he became a qualified spectator. Occasionally, there may be younger generations who are curious and want to say something or ask something, but they are suppressed by the leading elders and can only watch and listen quietly.
In front of the Pope's Palace, Qianxun Ji watched with cold eyes. Whether it was Dai Tianqi's initial question or the subsequent words of Yu Yuanzhen, Emperor Xueye, and Tang Sheng, they did not move him in the slightest. Then let the four people exchange words.
At this point, almost everyone's attention was focused on Ning Fengzhi, who was more than ten meters away to the right of Emperor Xueye.
Aware that she had unknowingly become the focus of the audience, Ning Fengzhi's face was calm, but her heart was a little worried, and she scolded Ling Yi who had not appeared for a long time. Half dead.
After steeling himself, Ning Fengzhi did not get involved in the conversation between Emperor Xueye and the four of them. He only turned his eyes to Qian Xunji who was sitting on the throne, and asked in a gentle and harmonious voice: "His Majesty the Pope, do you see Master Ling and the two of them?" When will your Majesty arrive?”
“It is true that as Lei Mianxia and Shengtian Mianxia said, since we are here to attend the ceremony, we are here to witness the title ceremony of the two Your Majesty. Time can’t wait, but we can’t keep waiting like this, right?”
If Dai Tianqi’s words were unabashed accountability, Emperor Xueye was lukewarm to Ling. Yi and [Lingyuncheng] are in the same boat, but Ning Fengzhi's words are like a hidden thorn in the cotton.
As Ning Fengzhi spoke out, a faint smile finally appeared in Qianxunji's eyes. But he quickly covered up the smile and returned to his usual indifferent look.
Qian Xunji did not answer Ning Fengzhi’s question, but looked directly ahead, at the other end of the high platform below.
Everyone noticed Qian Xunji's movements and followed his gaze.
At this moment, a bright blue light suddenly appeared in everyone's sight.
