At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall became extremely heavy, as if even the air had solidified.
"Wait!" Emperor Huangzhu's voice echoed in the empty hall, carrying undoubted majesty and a hint of unnoticeable fatigue. Her eyes were deep, as if she could see into the nature of everything in the world, but she was troubled by the decline of the imperial palace.
It was covered with a faint layer of melancholy.
She walked slowly, each step seemed extremely heavy, as if carrying the fate of the entire imperial palace and the glory of the past.
"Now is definitely not the best time for us to take revenge." Her words revealed a helpless determination. Her eyes swept over the people in the hall, and she took in every detail.
"Although the treasure's light is dazzling, it is like the tail of a poisonous scorpion and cannot be touched easily by us. The Imperial Palace is no longer as prosperous as it once was, and our strength is no longer enough to compete head-on with those three major forces. But
Please remember that our existence itself is a kind of victory. We have not followed in the footsteps of the Jiang family and the Ji family and disappeared completely in the long river of history. This is what we are thankful for."
Having said this, Dihuangzhu's tone softened slightly, as if he was giving everyone a little comfort and also comforting himself.
"Wait a minute, the greed in this world will never end. That treasure will definitely become the target of public criticism. The two major forces, the Empress Palace and the Holy Church, will definitely be ready to take it for themselves. We just need to wait and see.
To change, wait for the time to mature before making further plans.
We naturally want to avenge ourselves, but it cannot be achieved by a moment of courage. I firmly believe that no matter how powerful the enemy is, he will have his weaknesses. That kid cannot always be at the top, there will always be times when he is injured and tired."
After hearing the words, everyone nodded one after another, with complex emotions flashing in their eyes - there was recognition of Emperor Huangzhu's decision, but also helplessness and unwillingness to the current situation of the imperial palace. They knew that although the palace master in front of them seemed indifferent, he was actually indifferent.
He cares about the imperial palace, and takes every step with extreme caution, just to preserve the last trace of fire in the imperial palace.
However, at this moment, Emperor Pan's voice broke the peace in the palace, with a hint of worry.
"Palace Master, what you said is absolutely true, but..." He paused for a moment, as if he was considering his words, "If that boy really has the support of the Palace Master behind him, even the Empress Palace and the Holy Church will probably think twice before he acts.
I don’t want to make enemies easily. After all, the majesty and strength of Fu Zunfu cannot be easily shaken by us.”
A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of Dihuangzhu's mouth. The smile contained both a profound insight into human nature and a hint of helpless ridicule towards worldly affairs.
"You still don't understand. The allure of treasures is far beyond what you and I can imagine." She shook her head gently, her eyes seeming to penetrate through layers of clouds and look directly at the deepest greed and desire in people's hearts. "Especially the Holy Temple and the Empress.
Palace, which of these two major forces is not ambitious and has an endless pursuit of power?"
"The Holy Church," she continued, with a bit more solemnity in her voice, "If you want to continue to maintain its supreme position in the Demon Suppression Mansion, you must continue to seek breakthroughs. That treasure is undoubtedly the opportunity they dream of. For them,
, this is not only an increase in strength, but also a consolidation of status, and is an opportunity they cannot miss."
Turning around, Emperor Huangzhu's eyes turned in another direction, as if he could see the distant and mysterious Empress Palace.
"And the enchantress from the Empress Palace is even more ambitious. Her mind is as deep as the sea. How can she be willing to succumb to the temple and the palace? What she pursues is not only the peak of power, but also the influence of the entire world.
Control. How could she easily let go of such an opportunity? She will fight for the treasure at all costs to prove her strength and ambition."
…
Strange Island, this mysterious place hidden in the vast East China Sea, is now not only a refuge for Ling Xiao, but also a safe haven in his heart.
On the island, the demon soul beast Ah-Dai quietly guards this area. Its huge body and deep eyes reveal an inviolable majesty, which makes anyone with evil intentions stay away. Ah-Dai's existence is like an invisible barrier.
, isolates the disturbances and dangers from the outside world, and gives Ling Xiao a rare peace.
In this land shrouded by nature and mysterious power, Ling Xiao felt an unprecedented peace of mind. He knew that no matter how turbulent the outside world was, as long as he was on the strange island, he could temporarily forget the pursuits and conspiracies.
The eyes of the entire East China Sea may be focused on him, and every slightest movement may become a clue for others to spy on him, but here, he can put down his guard and let his tense nerves relax for a moment.
Turning his eyes to the side, Jin Yan was immersed in cultivation, surrounded by increasingly hot and pure golden flames. The power contained in the flames seemed to burst out at any time, shaking the world.
Looking at this scene, Ling Xiao felt an indescribable feeling of joy and pride in his heart. Jin Yan's growth is the best proof of his hard work and persistence during this period, and is also an indispensable partner and helper on his future path.
Looking back, Ling Xiao's eyes flashed with a touch of satisfaction and expectation. He slowly sat down and began to carefully take stock of the trophies he had accumulated through all the hardships during this period of time.
Among the many trophies, in addition to the rich resources obtained through unremitting efforts to destroy the Ji family and the Jiang family in one fell swoop, what shocked and delighted Ling Xiao the most was the treasures from the imperial palace.
The Imperial Palace, this behemoth that once shone brightly over the East China Sea and was powerful in all directions, even though it has lost its former glory, its profound heritage is still staggering.
In the end, when Ling Xiao classified all the trophies one by one and summarized them, he was surprised to find that the number of high-grade spiritual stones reached an astonishing more than 500 million. In the resource-rich sea area of the East China Sea, the number of high-grade spiritual stones
It has long become an important yardstick for measuring wealth and strength.
They can not only be used for cultivation and improvement, but they are also hard currency in transactions, which can be exchanged for treasures and resources that most monks dream of. More than 500 million high-grade spiritual stones are a difficult sum for anyone.
The imaginary huge wealth is enough for Ling Xiao to establish a foothold in the practice world of Donghai, and even go further.
In this vast East China Sea, the economic system operates in a unique way. As the core medium of transactions, high-grade spiritual stones have an unshakable status. It not only represents the accumulation of wealth, but also is a symbol of strength and status.
Compared with the slightly limited purchasing power of middle-grade spiritual stones, high-grade spiritual stones can access more high-end and rare commodities and resources, and their value is naturally self-evident. Ling Xiao knows this very well, and every time he holds it in his hands
When looking at these spiritual stones that exude a warm luster, I can't help but feel a sense of satisfaction and pride in my heart.
