now.
The leaders from various countries and forces in the east gathered in Yuanlong Ancient City. They had all received news of the Zhou family's attack on Yan Kingdom and guessed that if Yan Kingdom did not receive assistance, it would likely face a change of dynasty.
The host who invited powerful figures from all sides: the eldest prince of Dongyan Kingdom.
The eldest prince of Yan Kingdom had been waiting in the ancient city for a long time.
As the heir to the throne of the largest country in the East, he was ambitious and had long harbored the grand ambition of unifying the world.
Unfortunately, the students of Nanyue Academy are spread all over the world, and the academy has a strong foundation. Yan Kingdom is one of the top in the east, but it is not enough in the whole Central Plains. No matter how ambitious he is, he is powerless to achieve his goals.
But things are different now!
A deadly weapon has appeared.
He who obtains the weapon of mass destruction will rule the world.
He can fight against an army of thousands single-handedly!
The eldest prince of Dongyan Kingdom had lived for nearly thirty years and had never heard of such a strange object in the world. If the news had not come from Nanyue Academy, he probably would have scoffed at it.
"Your Highness!"
"The Pavilion Master of Chenggui Pavilion has accepted the invitation!"
"The secret guards just reported that members of the Cheng Gui Pavilion branch have been spotted on the main street of Yuanlong Ancient City. It seems they are here to protect the Pavilion Master's safety."
"That pavilion master has been hiding in the shadows for so long, and we thought that Cheng Gui Pavilion really didn't care about anything. I didn't expect... that they also coveted this weapon."
"Your Highness, with the assistance of Cheng Gui Pavilion, your grand ambition will surely be realized soon."
A royal confidant strode into the side room and reported to the eldest prince of Yan, who was seated in the main seat.
The eldest prince of Yan Kingdom wore a black python robe with embroidered blue python claws on the cuffs and a unique piece of fine white jade at his waist. He seemed to care a lot about his identity as the eldest prince of Yan Kingdom.
Whether it's what you wear, what you carry, or the demeanor you project, it should all be reflected outwardly at all times.
The Emperor of Yan is over fifty years old and his health has been poor in the past two years. The eldest prince is about to turn thirty. He has long coveted the throne, but his father has refused to appoint him as the crown prince.
The eldest prince of Yan could only satisfy his inner desire for power in this way.
Upon hearing his trusted subordinate's words, the eldest prince of Yan Kingdom chuckled, a dark glint of determination flashing in his eyes: "Very well, I thought the master of Cheng Gui Pavilion was truly isolated from the world."
"It seems that the reason why I don't participate in court disputes, don't take sides in the struggles between the various states in the Central Plains, and don't interfere in any court affairs is simply because the benefits haven't been met."
"Look."
"As soon as the Zhou family's weapon appeared, that Pavilion Master got anxious and couldn't wait to come to Zhongyuan Ancient City to keep his appointment."
The trusted subordinate respectfully replied, "The master of Cheng Gui Pavilion has always been mysterious, never seeing outsiders, and never participating in invitations from various countries and regions. In the past, when Nanyue Academy held its opening ceremony, all countries sent generous gifts."
"But that pavilion master acted as if he didn't see it, without even a greeting."
"If it weren't for the academy's indifference to fame and fortune and its tolerant nature, Cheng Gui Pavilion's practices would probably have been suppressed and wiped out long ago!"
"Now that Cheng Gui Pavilion has accepted the invitation, doesn't that confirm the speculations of various countries? Does that mean the Pavilion Master is disrespecting the Academy? In that case, the Academy will definitely have objections to Cheng Gui Pavilion, right?"
The eldest prince of Yan Kingdom shook his head scoffingly, a hint of arrogance in his eyes: "Cheng Gui Pavilion does have considerable influence in the Central Plains, but it's nothing compared to the Academy. What is it?"
"You dare to disrespect the academy?"
"It's only because the academy is too lazy to bother with this; otherwise, they would have been expelled from the Central Plains long ago! Didn't that pavilion master already accept the invitation? The academy just sent a message to this prince, saying they will also send a student to attend!"
Will the academy send someone as well?
Don't they never interfere in these matters?
The trusted subordinate looked at the eldest prince with slight surprise and couldn't help but ask a few more questions: "The academy is actually sending someone? Who is this person? Are they here to attend tonight's banquet for discussions?"
"Not today."
"Not today?"
The eldest prince of Yan Kingdom curled his lips, turned his head, and issued an order to his subordinates: "The people from the academy will arrive at Zhongyuan Ancient City in three days. As a sign of respect, all the rulers of various countries and regions are requested to wait in place for three days."
"We will discuss countermeasures again in three days."
"Go and deliver the message."
Just a quarter of an hour ago.
As the host of the meeting, the eldest prince received a letter from the Nanyue Academy.
The academy will send one person to jointly invite everyone to this gathering in three days.
Why does it have to be three days later? Why not come today?
The eldest prince thought that perhaps there were still some unresolved matters at the academy that needed time to be dealt with.
It's also possible that... the academy is meant to give all countries and regions a warning.
Let these powerful figures at the pinnacle of their respective domains understand!
Although Nanyue Academy does not interfere in worldly affairs, its existence is absolutely crucial and cannot be easily ignored. Making the powerful figures wait for three days is already giving them face!
That concludes the discussion.
The meeting of the Eastern nations was postponed for three days to allow the arrival of the absent members of the academy.
