The whispers in the hall suddenly disappeared in an instant, and everyone stood up without hesitation. Even Granny Lin and the special spirit fighter who were sitting next to Rong Kaixuan.
His Majesty Emperor Ning Guo is the ruler of one of the three great empires of the human race, and his status is far beyond the comparison of anyone present. However, if it were just that, Nanny Lin would not behave so respectfully. However, coming with him
, but there is also a powerful ancestor-level figure.
Such a character, even Grandma Lin is someone who needs to look up to.
At the entrance of the hall, an old man walked first. He was neither tall nor handsome. On the contrary, the man wearing a crown accompanying him was a handsome man like a gentleman.
However, the moment this ancestor appeared in people's sight, everyone's eyes seemed to be filled with his figure. Apart from him, it seemed as if nothing else existed in this world.
This old man showed his strength to everyone in the hall in an indescribable way.
He seems to be the center of the world, and the existence of any thing or character must revolve around him.
Rong Kaixuan took a deep breath. So far, he has met six ancestors in total. Four from the human race and two from the beast race. Each ancestor seems to be a unique existence, and they have different temperaments.
However, there has never been an ancestor with such a strong sense of presence as this old man.
Ao Libing stepped forward and said respectfully: "Meet the ancestor of the Forbidden City."
The Ningguo royal family has been passed down for thousands of years, with the Forbidden City as its capital, intimidating the eight counties. The ancestors of all generations have a title, that is, the Forbidden Ancestor.
"Meet the ancestor of the Forbidden City." Everyone in the hall did not dare to neglect. They bowed to each other one by one.
They are all the supreme elders favored by Ningguo County. Each one of them possesses a master-level cultivation and is very prestigious in the county. Anyone who stamps their feet will cause a sensation. And the life, death, wealth and honor of more people will be affected.
It's all in their thoughts. It can be said that they are all outstanding figures who have wielded huge power.
However, these powerful men who stood at the top of the pyramid invariably lowered their noble heads towards an old man and bent down willingly.
Rong Kaixuan's heart is surging, this is Ao Xiangtian, the ancestor of the Ao family!
Although there are ancestors sitting in Liberty City and Pinbaotang, they either own a city and guard the border. Or they live in a corner and are hidden from the world. There are no such huge forces as the three empires.
At this moment, looking at the scene of dozens of masters saluting in unison, Rong Kaixuan's heart was filled with excitement, and he even had an urge to replace it.
Ao Xiangtian turned around and said slowly: "You don't have to be polite, please sit down."
The person accompanying him is naturally His Majesty the Emperor of Ning State, Ao Lixiu. However, next to Ao Xiangtian, he is like an unknown person, without much sense of existence at all.
And everyone seemed to be accustomed to this scene.
Everyone still stood respectfully, until Ao Xiangtian sat down in the middle position, and then the others took their seats one after another.
Ao Xiangtian closed his eyes slightly. Nodding slightly, Ao Lixiu stood up. He raised his wine glass and said loudly: "Everyone, the end of this beast tide is a great joy for our human race. Please drink this glass to the full.
"
There are dedicated maids serving at each table. They stand silently behind everyone, only stepping forward to pour wine when needed.
Everyone raised their glasses and drank the wine in one gulp.
Ao Lixiu smiled slightly and said: "Everyone, according to past practice, once the beast tide is over, it will be the time to reward based on merit." His eyes swept over everyone's faces and said slowly: "However, this time,
But it’s a little special.”
Everyone's eyes turned and fell on Ao Libi, Rong Kaixuan and the first batch of masters who went to Liberty City to resist the beast tide.
Everyone knows that participating in the beast tide is not an easy task. Even for the master-level strong ones, the mortality rate is still high. Therefore, the first group to go to Liberty City, except for the royal family strong ones, the other ten
The grand masters all come from the weaker counties and noble families in Ning Kingdom.
It was precisely because they were weak that they were forced to send out the master-level experts in the family first.
The longer you stay in the beast tide, the more dangerous it becomes. The probability of the first group of cultivators going to Liberty City to come back alive is extremely low, almost non-existent.
However, no one could have imagined that the beast tide would end so quickly, and that all the masters who went to Liberty City would return safe and sound, not even one of them died.
Although all the major families expressed their congratulations, they already regretted it in their hearts.
Ao Lipi laughed loudly and said: "Brother Emperor, our rule in Ningguo is to reward meritorious deeds. Since someone has contributed, it is natural that he should be greatly rewarded."
Ao Lixiu laughed dumbly and said: "You are right, as long as they are people who have contributed to Ning State, our royal family will naturally not be stingy."
Listening to the two brothers talking, the faces of many masters in the hall were filled with excitement, especially those who had gone to Liberty City to participate in the war. They were all beaming with joy.
Although they are powerful masters, they still need training resources.
And with the background of the Ningguo royal family, if they are rewarded with many rewards, they will definitely be able to have unexpected joy.
Ao Lixiu turned his eyes and said loudly: "The ten masters who are going to Liberty City to participate in the battle this time please come out."
Ten people suddenly stood up in the hall. They were the top ten grandmasters who had fought alongside Rong Kaixuan. However, among these people, there were no peak grandmasters. At most, they were mid- to late-stage masters.
Ao Lixiu looked at them with a smile on his face and said: "This time you faced the beast tide in Liberty City. You killed countless enemies and became famous all over the world. I am very happy to congratulate you."
An old man among the ten people said quickly: "Your Majesty, we are just trying our best. If brother Rong Kaixuan hadn't summoned the divine beast, this battle would not have ended so easily."
Everyone's eyes froze slightly, especially Yu Zongtang and Kang Luwei. Their expressions became extremely ugly.
Divine beast, did Rong Kaixuan really summon a mythical beast?
Ao Lixiu laughed and said: "Let's not mention the matter of the head of the Rong family for now. Your going this time is also a credit." He paused and said: "I will give you two choices. One, you enter the royal family.
From the arsenal, select three spiritual weapons and three spiritual elixirs."
Everyone below couldn't help but their eyes were shining brightly. The faces of the grand masters who were listening were even redder. They looked at the ten people and felt extremely regretful in their hearts. If they had known this outcome, when the royal mobilization order was originally issued,
, you don’t have to push back and forth, but sign up enthusiastically.
Ao Lixiu put his hands behind his back and scanned everyone's faces. He smiled secretly in his heart and said: "As for the second option, the old man has given me permission to allow each of your families to recommend three among the descendants to follow him.
Serve by my side for ten years."
"Wow……"
Even with the determination of many master-level experts below, they couldn't help but let out a cry of exclamation when they heard this award.
Almost without thinking, the old man who spoke before immediately said: "Your Majesty, I would like to choose the second option. Let the younger generations of the family follow the old man, serve him in his daily life and listen to his teachings."
The other nine people were secretly angry because their reaction was half a beat too slow. But they were not to be outdone and chose the second reward almost in unison.
The royal arsenal is the royal family's savings of nearly ten thousand years. There are countless treasures in it. The precious spiritual weapons and elixirs are coveted even by many princes and families. However, if compared with the second option, it is not.
Nothing.
If a family wants to continue its legacy, the most important thing is to have high-end combat power.
Just like Liberty City, if it hadn't been for the unknown ancestor who had been in charge for five hundred years, it would have been killed countless times by the beasts.
For these prefecture-level families, only the emergence of powerful masters from generation to generation can the family be passed on for a long time.
However, how can a master-level expert appear so easily?
There are also examples of the decline and decline of the prefecture-level families in the past dynasties. Without exception, it was because they lacked the inheritance of a master-level powerhouse that they were slowly eroded by the rival families in the prefecture and eventually uprooted.
It can be said that a master-level powerhouse is the lifeblood of a family's inheritance, and nothing can compare with it.
Although a master-level expert is powerful, he cannot allow his innate descendants to break through their limits and become a master. However, if these innate descendants are sent to the ancestor of the Forbidden City and listen to his teachings, they can eventually be promoted to a grand master.
The possibility will become several times greater.
The reason why so many master-level experts have emerged from the Ao family is because they have the guidance of ancestor-level experts. In addition to the Ao family, there are no master-level experts in the other major commandery families.
At least there is only one, and at most there are only three.
At this moment, the ancestor of the Forbidden City allows each of their families to send three innate descendants to serve the ancestor, which means that in a few decades, their families will have at least one new grandmaster.
Within a hundred years, even if these ten families cannot take off, there will definitely be no fear of extinction.
However, after they chose this reward, the other masters looked at them with naked jealousy in their eyes.
Even the grandmasters from top military families such as the Wang family and the Kang family, who have three grandmasters, are not immune to the custom.
Ao Lixiu looked at it with a smile, feeling faintly proud in his heart.
As the royal family that rules the land of eight counties, they don't want to see any super big families appear in the territory. The most ideal situation is for the major families in the territory to have a balanced strength and restrain each other.
The first ten grand master families who went to Liberty City were all the weakest families in the county, and some of them were even in danger of being destroyed.
However, after today, their family will definitely have dozens or hundreds of more inheritances, which will be of great benefit to the royal rule.
Smiling slightly, he turned his head, looked at Rong Kaixuan, and said, "Master Rong..."
Rong triumphantly stood up and said: "Here."
Everyone was shocked, knowing that the real drama was about to begin.
