In the palace, Ling Changyi had summoned all the civil and military officials to talk to the heads of the four major families. Also arriving at the same time was Cang Xu Dao, the master of the Cangtian Sword Pavilion, as well as the masters of the Dao realm.
Originally, the heads of these families and sects were not qualified to discuss with the emperor and officials in the palace, but now it is not just a matter of the royal family, but also related to the safety of the entire imperial city. If the angry lion comes to the imperial city again
, and if they can't get the Thunder Fire Ancient Paulownia, then it will be the end of the entire imperial city.
"My dear friends, do you have any countermeasures?" Ling Changyi was dressed in a dragon robe, and the emperor's majesty was fully displayed. He sat on the dragon chair, looked at the ministers below, and said with his hand on the side of his face.
"This..." No one from the civil and military officials spoke.
Ling Changyi shook his head and did not have too much expectations for them. In the face of absolute strength, all plans were in vain.
"Perhaps, we can turn to Zhulu Academy for help. Zhulu Academy has always been committed to supporting the world and upholding justice. It has saved countries from danger many times for thousands of years. Now that the Xiatian Empire is in trouble, we can turn to them. They will never sit idly by.
Reason." At this time, Jiang Yan, the Prime Minister of the Summer Empire, spoke out. In his opinion, only Zhulu Academy can solve this matter now.
"Asking for help from Zhulu Academy for everything, doesn't it show that our Yantian Empire is incompetent?" General Wan Lie said solemnly. He looked at Ling Changyi and held his chest high: "There are so many strong Yuandao realms in our Yantian Empire.
The combined force may not be able to kill the monster, but now that someone is standing on the imperial city threatening to destroy the city, the first thing he thinks of is asking for help from outsiders, it doesn't feel right no matter how he thinks about it."
Jiang Yan sneered and said: "Master Ye also said that the cultivation level of that magical beast is at least level six, which is equivalent to the Yuan Zong among humans. With such a powerful magical beast, even if the Yuandao realms of our Yantian Empire work together, it will be difficult for them to defeat it.
Even if we win, we will have to pay a heavy price. If we seek help from Zhulu Academy, we can not only relieve the siege of the imperial city but also reduce losses, why not?"
Wan Lie glanced at Jiang Yan and said seriously: "It is an insult to the country's prestige."
"National prestige? If the general uses national prestige as an excuse, then he will pretend that the truth has never been said." Jiang Yan was helpless.
"Xiang Guo, the new emperor has only been on the throne for only half a month. He needs something to consolidate the foundation and stabilize the people's hearts. This matter comes just in time. If the emperor can lead the strong men of the Yantian Empire to resist the angry lion, in the eyes of all the people, the emperor's
The reputation will definitely be more firm in the hearts of the people, and the demeanor of all the powerful men will be remembered by the people of the Yantian Empire. On the contrary, if we ask for help from Zhulu Academy, then the good reputation will be lost to Zhulu Academy, and I, the Yantian Empire, can only do it in the end.
"Look, this will not only greatly reduce the image of the emperor in the hearts of the people, but also make neighboring countries know about it, and it will make us laugh at us for being timid without fighting. Is the prime minister willing to see this?"
Wan Lie's speech made all the civil and military officials nod in praise, but Jiang Yan had no expression on his face and didn't say a word.
"Yes, trying to ask for help before the fight has started. Wouldn't it disgrace my Xia Tian's face and let the neighboring countries know about it? How will we behave in the future? Your Majesty, I request that we fight to the death with that monster."
"The Warcraft provokes my Xia Tian Empire and makes up any reason to slander me Xia Tian. If you don't teach me a lesson, how can you convince the people of the world in the future?"
"Your Majesty, I invite you to fight to the death with that monster."
Gradually, more and more military attaches stood up and petitioned righteously. However, the civil servants did not say a word.
Ling Changyi nodded with satisfaction. This situation was what he wanted to see.
Was it discussed by the civil and military officials themselves? No, it was planned by him, in order to force Cangtian Jiange and the powerful people of Zhongyuan Dao to take action. He could sit in this position and escape from the "help" of Cangtian Jiange and the four major families.
It has nothing to do with it, but he also knows that these people are definitely not helping him for no reason, but are trying to get some benefits from him, the leader of the country.
If that's all, then he doesn't mind sharing his wealth with these people.
However, Cangtian Jiange and the Ye family actually tried to get involved in his national power. This was absolutely impossible.
Cangtian Jiange and the Ye family are the heads of the sects and families of the Yantian Empire. Their every word and deed can be said to be setting a precedent for the sects and families of Yantian. If they start this way, the situation will be different.
It became out of control.
So he needs to eliminate some people, some people who pose a great threat to him. This idea came to him a year ago.
The appearance of the Raging Lion gave him just this opportunity.

Ling Changyi put on an expression as if he had seen a savior, and then deliberately endured it, saying calmly: "I have just ascended the throne, and I really need something to consolidate the power of Heaven. This time the angry lion came for no reason, and it happened to be a once-in-a-lifetime event."
Chance."
"Besides, I had an unpleasant incident with people from Zhulu Academy more than 20 days ago. If I go to them for help now, I won't lose face." Ling Changyi glanced at the people below, and a strange sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Master Cang Pavilion, I wonder if Cang Tian Sword Pavilion is confident in dealing with the angry lion?"
Cang Xudao's face was calm, he raised his eyes slightly and said: "Your Majesty, Cangtian Sword Pavilion may not be able to resist the angry lion."
"Oh? Not even sure about your Cang Tian Jiang Pavilion?" Ling Changyi said slightly shocked.
Cangxu Dao was neither humble nor arrogant, and said with a calm expression: "According to the archives of Cangtian Sword Pavilion, this angry lion was already a level six monster when it came to Yanmo Valley four hundred years ago, although the cultivation speed of the monster is much slower.
Human beings, but in four hundred years, the Raging Lion has reached at least the mid-sixth level at this moment, which is something our Cangtian Sword Pavilion cannot resist."
"You, Cangxu Dao, together with the Four Symbols Formation of the Four Swordsmen, the heads of the four major families, and many Yuandao Realm experts, don't have the strength to fight?" Ling Changyi looked at Cang attentively.
False way.
But Cang Xudao still shook his head and said: "There is nothing we can do."
Cang Xudao is not a fool. He certainly knows that Ling Changyi intends to weaken the strength of his Cangtian Sword Pavilion. If his Cangtian Sword Pavilion takes the lead and faces the raging lion that is at least mid-sixth level, he may die without knowing how.
Although the Four Symbols Formation of Jie Tian is powerful, it is not invincible.
The best example was the defeat of the current generation of Four Swordsmen at the hands of that young man. That young man was still in the Tianyuan realm at that time.
Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, Mo Jian said it himself, so he had no reason to doubt it.
Now he is still trying to train a new sword attendant, and another angry lion appears, which is really a wave of waves.
Ling Changyi wanted to use him as a spearman, but how could he succeed?
Ling Changyi seemed to have long thought about the Cangxu Taoist Association's rejection, and said with a smile: "I also know the terror of the Yuanzong strongmen. The number of Yuanzong strongmen who have appeared in the Yantian Empire for thousands of years can only be counted on one hand. Every Yuanzong appears.
To push the reputation of Yantian Empire even higher, it is really hard for you to wait for Yuan Dao to fight against a mid-level six monster!"
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the emperor didn't have a brain and asked them to fight the angry lion. It was hard to say whether they could kill him or not. Even if they could kill them, they in the Yuandao realm would probably not survive in the end.
several.
"However, the angry lions disrupted our imperial city, threatened us, and made up an illusory reason. This is something I cannot bear no matter what. As the top powerhouses of the Yantian Empire, how can we bear to watch the imperial city be destroyed?"
Once, will you watch the people of Li turn into dust under the claws of the angry lion?" Ling Changyi flicked his fingers, his tone was sharp, his eyes revealed an unprecedented sharpness, these words were no longer a request, but a kidnapping.
"It's not that we are unwilling, but that we are unable to resist. The power of the Raging Lion is beyond our capabilities. Your Majesty, why not ask Zhulu Academy for help? If Your Majesty cares about his face, he can also send a Yuandao realm strongman.
Go there, not in the name of the royal family, so that the emperor's face can be preserved." Cangxudao said.
"If this is the case, can it change the fact that I, Xia Tian, am incompetent?" Ling Changyi said in a gloomy tone: "Master Cang Pavilion, you are the strongest man in the Xia Tian Empire. When you faced the elder of Zhulu Academy, you had the courage to fight. This monster
His strength should not be as good as that of the great elder, so why are you so timid?"
Cang Xudao's face turned livid, he lowered his head slightly, his face full of gloom.
"It was just a test at the beginning. After knowing the power of the great elder of Zhulu Academy, I believed that Zhulu Academy could definitely solve this matter. The emperor should not be willing to compromise the strong men of the Yantian Empire to deal with a powerful monster, right?
"
These words turned an army into an army and directly turned passivity into initiative. You, Ling Changyi, wanted to sacrifice Yuan Dao to fight against the angry lion and win the hearts and minds of the people. However, you lost the loyalty of these strong men to the country, making you unable to take any further step or step back.
Abandon.
"Of course I don't want to. You are all the pillars of my Summer Empire and the foundation of my Summer Empire. I feel very sad if you lose anyone. But this time I ask for help from Zhulu Academy. What about next time? Next time
What about this time?"
"This time there is a threat from an angry lion. Next time
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Once there are other monsters, other people, other countries and sects, then the world will think that our Yantian Empire is incompetent and can only rely on Zhulu Academy to get rid of the threat. In this way, our Yantian Empire will be in other empires
If you cannot hold your head up in front of others, you will become a laughing stock when you meet other strong men in the future, and your descendants will be ashamed of you."
"On the contrary, using all the strong men to fight vigorously and kill the monsters is difficult but glorious. Soldiers are proud of killing the enemy. Warriors are proud of overcoming obstacles and riding the wind and waves. When encountering difficulties, they think of escaping instead of facing them.
How can you become powerful, kill monsters, become a hero praised by the world, become a source of talk for others, and become a legend of the Yantian Empire for future generations? Isn't it better than the former?"
"Master Cang Pavilion, everyone, what do you think?" Ling Changyi smiled gently.
Cang Xudao looked at this young man who was only thirty years old, and was shocked. They all seemed to have misunderstood. This prince who once seemed so kind to them actually hid his fangs until he was now suitable.
At the right time, his fangs were exposed, and it was extremely difficult for them to even resist.
"Your Majesty is right. Warriors like us should move forward bravely and face powerful enemies without flinching. Even if we have lost the will to fight, there is no need to talk about cultivation. The master of Cang Pavilion is the most powerful person in our Yantian Empire. As a
The foundation of our Yantian Empire, no matter whether we can win this battle or not, we should not lose the confidence and courage to fight." Wan Lie said.
"Moreover, this battle is not only about the face of the royal family, but also the safety of the entire imperial city, the safety of the people, and the image of the Yantian Empire in the eyes of outsiders. For the sake of the people and the country, all the strong men should also support the emperor in fighting
This battle."
"To put it lightly, the level 6 monsters are so terrifying and cannot be matched by those in the Yuandao realm. If we all die in battle and still fail to capture the monsters, then not only the Imperial City, but the entire Yantian Empire will fall into an unprecedented disaster.
Is the emperor willing to see this result?" Finally, someone couldn't help it. He likes to use them as spearmen. Have you considered their opinions?
Ling Changyi smiled lightly and said: "Since I dare to fight it, I am sure of winning. I wonder if you have ever heard of the 'Beast Suppressing Ring'?"
"The beast-suppressing ring? But the beast-suppressing ring that can suppress the strength of monsters?" The strong man who just spoke said.
"Yes, the Beast Suppressing Ring can suppress the strength of Warcraft to the greatest extent and limit the cultivation of Warcraft. With the Beast Suppressing Ring, don't you still have the courage to fight with it?"
Ye Qingshan slowly closed his eyes. This move of retreating into advancement really hit everyone's heart.
This battle is probably inevitable.
Cangxu Dao sighed helplessly and said: "Although the beast-suppressing ring can suppress the strength of magical beasts, it is impossible to suppress the cultivation level of the Raging Lion to level five..."
"At least you have the courage to face it, instead of being submissive like before." Ling Changyi said coldly: "The beast-suppressing ring is one of the royal family's treasures and secrets. It has never been used for hundreds of years, but its power is known to everyone.
I’ve heard of it, so don’t doubt it.”
"I will set up a beast-suppressing ring on Fengling Slope to the east of the imperial city. When the time comes, I will attract the angry flaming lions. You can fight with confidence. I will also send an army of fifty thousand to help you..." Ling Changyi suddenly smiled, especially sinisterly.
Li: "Of course, I have taken out all the beast-suppressing rings. If some of you want to slack off and cause heavy losses, then you can't blame me."
Cang Xudao's eyes darkened, these words were clearly talking about him.
Ye Qingshan said nothing from the beginning to the end. He was the only person who faced the angry lion directly at that time. He had personally experienced its terror. Even with the beast-suppressing ring, this battle would probably be full of dangers.
They all miscalculated. The prince they had worked so hard to support turned out to be a tiger that had not yet shown its fangs. They were using Ling Changyi, and Ling Changyi was using them.
But in the end, Ling Changyi ran out of use and wanted to kill the donkey.
"That's all for today. Everyone, go back and prepare. Five days later, Fenglingpo will fight to the death with the Raging Lion. Please go back and rest."
Ling Changyi stood up and left the hall without giving anyone a chance.
Cang Xudao and Ye Qingshan looked at each other and closed their eyes heavily.
