As the sound rang out, a butler was the first to enter the hall.
Meanwhile, the high-ranking officials of Xia Kingdom standing next to the Prime Minister looked at him with surprise.
Although this gathering was not kept secret, shouldn't we still be a little more cautious about the upcoming war with Beiyou?
"Master, that man has come again. He says he wants to see you, but you've already completed the task I asked you to do," the butler said respectfully from the side.
Upon hearing the steward's words, the Prime Minister's eyes lit up, and he quickly replied.
"Please come in, please come in."
Seeing that his master was in such a hurry, the butler immediately turned around and went outside.
At this point, Chen Yuan finally couldn't contain himself and asked in confusion.
"I wonder who the old prime minister invited?"
"Alas, I don't really know either, but at least we've managed to seize a small opportunity. If this doesn't work, then the Xia Kingdom will have little chance of survival," the Prime Minister said softly, shaking his head.
After the old prime minister finished speaking, Chen Yuan wanted to say something more, but he ultimately did not ask any further questions.
Ye Yi slowly walked into the hall.
After entering the hall, Ye Yi glanced around and was somewhat surprised to find that all the high-ranking officials of Xia Kingdom were there. However, Ye Yi calmed himself down and spoke to the old prime minister.
“I have fulfilled my mission. In three days, Daoist Cangyan will lead his Zixiao Pavilion to come and assist us.”
Upon hearing this, the entire scene fell silent, and many people even secretly gasped.
As one of the five supreme beings in this world, Daoist Cangyan's identity is extraordinary. Moreover, Zixiao Pavilion has not had much of a relationship with Xia Kingdom. The fact that Zixiao Pavilion is now helping Xia Kingdom has indeed surprised these people.
"Kid, can you guarantee what you're saying?" Chen Yuan's tone suddenly turned sharp, and he was actually putting pressure on Ye Yi.
Ye Yi felt nothing in the face of Chen Yuan's imposing aura. He glanced at Chen Yuan slightly, then cupped his hands and addressed the Prime Minister.
"That depends on the Prime Minister's intentions. If the Prime Minister is willing to hand over the token, then I will definitely make contact with Daoist Cangyan. If not, then Daoist Cangyan's entry into Xia Kingdom may lead to the destruction of Xia Kingdom."
Ye Yi's indifferent tone made all the higher-ups very unhappy, but they were even more curious about the token Ye Yi mentioned.
Clearly, the main reason why Daoist Cangyan would help the Xia Kingdom against the Northern Netherworld Empress was because of this token.
"How can you guarantee that? If you can, why not give this token to you?" The Prime Minister was not heartbroken about the token's disappearance, because he had no idea what the token was for.
"It's alright." Ye Yi shook his head softly, then quickly conjured a communication talisman in his hand. These talismans were special items of the Purple Cloud Pavilion.
Now that the communication talisman has appeared, most of the people present have come to believe it.
Suddenly, the communication fee in Ye Yi's hand burst into flames, and as the fee burned, a figure appeared in everyone's sight.
Although the people present did not know Daoist Cangyan, as one of the five supreme beings on the continent, these experts were still very familiar with Daoist Cangyan's face.
“This is indeed the complete work of Daoist Cangyan.” Chen Yuan said softly.
Although the sound was very soft, all the high-ranking officials present heard it clearly.
"I wonder what brings you here, young friend? Has something changed again?" Daoist Cangyan asked Ye Yi with a puzzled look.
"My lords, you still don't believe that you can help the Xia Kingdom. You want me to prove it," Ye Yi said softly.
Immediately, Daoist Cangyan laughed heartily and said...
"Fellow Daoists, rest assured, I will arrive in Chang'an of Xia Kingdom in three days. I have taken charge of stopping the Northern Nether Empress for you. You can be at ease."
Although Daoist Cangyan appeared very kind, everyone knew that he was not as kind as he seemed.
However, since they were there to help their side, everyone immediately spoke respectfully.
"Thank you for saving me, Your Majesty."
"No need to be so polite. If there's nothing else, I'll be on my way now," Cangyan Daoist continued.
"Thank you, Your Majesty," the group said again.
"Hehe." Amidst Cangyan Daoist's laughter, the communication talisman vanished completely.
At this moment, Ye Yi suddenly spoke up.
"Your Excellency, please grant me the token."
"Take it."
Seeing that Daoist Cangyan was already on his way, the Prime Minister didn't want to stop him, so he took out a silver token and placed it in front of Ye Yi.
Faced with the token, Ye Yi feigned a hint of fervor, a trait that was naturally spotted by the old foxes present.
"Hehe, young friend, I'm a little curious, what is the use of this token?" The Prime Minister asked, voicing everyone's question.
Ye Yi glanced at the Prime Minister and said softly.
"This token is extraordinary. If one obtains this token, one can inherit the legacy of the Jade Emperor."
After saying that, Ye Yi looked at everyone present with a half-smile, and everyone was stunned. Then, they all looked at the silver token in Ye Yi's hand with greedy eyes.
"Hehe, thank you for your kindness, Your Excellency. I am still short two tokens. If any of you have the same tokens, please let me know. If I can confirm that they are genuine, then I can do something for you if I can." Ye Yi said, cupping his hands.
There was still a strange look in his eyes.
"Haha, don't worry, if I have it, I'll definitely give it to you for free," the hot-tempered general said heartily.
The awkward atmosphere was instantly dispelled.
"Thank you, General. I'll take my leave now." Seeing that it was about time, Ye Yi immediately turned around and left.
As for these high-ranking officials, they all stared greedily at Ye Yi's back.
The legacy of the Jade Emperor is the legacy of a ruler, and moreover, the legacy of the most recent ruler.
However, since it's said to be an inheritance, we can glean one piece of information: the Jade Emperor has died.
This gave the old foxes present a different perspective.
At the same time, the demand for tokens has increased rapidly.
However, these people dare not make a move easily now, because Ye Yi has a connection with the Supreme Being Cangyan Daoist, which makes them very wary.
However, no one's ambition has disappeared.
The Prime Minister clearly saw through their thoughts and sighed helplessly.
"Gentlemen, you should leave now. If there is anything else, we can discuss it with His Majesty tomorrow morning."
As soon as the Prime Minister spoke, these people quickly left the scene, clearly eager to get news of Ye Yi.
After leaving the Prime Minister's residence, Ye Yi made no attempt to conceal his whereabouts, instead settling into a casual inn in Chang'an.
That evening, Ye Yi's ears twitched slightly as a group of thieves subtly blew sleeping powder into his room.
Ye Yi immediately revealed a smug smile.
After a long while, the thieves finally dared to cautiously enter the room.
As soon as they entered the room, the people were startled, because Ye Yi looked at the thieves with a smile and asked in a low voice.
"Which organization sent you? If you tell me your names, I will spare your lives."
At the same time, Ye Yi's aura erupted.
The thieves were startled and immediately knelt down, their eyes involuntarily fixed on a burly man in black.
Ye Yi immediately followed the gaze and looked over.
Suddenly, the man in black coughed lightly, and a trickle of blood flowed from his black handkerchief.
Then the person fell straight to the ground.
The thief cautiously reached out and touched his neck, then spoke in a trembling voice.
"My lord, he... he is dead."
This unexpected turn of events made Ye Yi frown, then he casually waved his hand and said, ''
"Take these people out and bury them. Remember not to dirty the floor, and get out of here."
"Yes, yes." Immediately, these people hurriedly ran out with the corpse.
Ye Yi's leniency was intentional.
Ye Yi wanted to use his leniency to incite more people's greed for the token.
After all, the consequences are not serious, but the gains are exceptionally rich, so people of any power will definitely have the idea of seizing it.
This was also Ye Yi's intention, because he wanted to provoke more conflict.
As expected, the powerful figures in Chang'an City, seeing that Ye Yi hadn't attacked too fiercely, all assumed that Ye Yi was just a young man who didn't know the law of the jungle in the cultivation world.
It should be noted that ever since Ye Yi took on the role of the Jade Emperor and took the lives of people all over the world, resources have begun to slowly deplete and are no longer as abundant as they used to be.
Therefore, the world today is not as harmonious as it used to be, and various bloody battles have begun.
As night fell, Ye Yi frowned slightly, because a group of burly men in black, armed with sharp blades, stormed into the inn and charged straight at Ye Yi's room from the bottom floor.
These burly men were ruthless; they slaughtered the entire inn.
Ye Yi remained in the room, waiting for their arrival.
Sure enough, after cleaning up the inn, the group of burly men slowly entered Ye Yi's room.
The burly man in the lead, seeing Ye Yi regain his senses, spoke in a threatening tone.
"Boy, hand over the token you've got right now, or I'll kill you on the spot."
The men in black behind the burly man also brandished their weapons to intimidate Ye Yi.
Faced with these people's threats, Ye Yi feigned helplessness and said...
"If you want what I have, why send out these shrimp soldiers and crab generals?"
Then Ye Yi unleashed his power, charged into the crowd, and began a massacre.
These ordinary people were like ants in Ye Yi's hands, easily slaughtered.
Looking at the blood-soaked room and inn, Ye Yi shook his head helplessly and then walked out of the inn.
To Ye Yi's surprise, the steward of the Prime Minister's family had been waiting outside for a long time as soon as he stepped out of the inn.
"Master knows that you had a restless night, so he asked me to wait for you here. Please stay at the Prime Minister's residence for a while," the steward said respectfully.
Ye Yi looked at the butler with some surprise, but after a moment's thought, he nodded and followed the butler.
When Ye Yigang entered the Prime Minister's residence with the steward, he found the Prime Minister sitting in the main hall.
"Young friend, why reveal the secret of the token in front of so many people?" The Prime Minister picked up a cup of tea and said to Ye Yi.
However, the glint in Shang Xiang's eyes gave Ye Yi a strange feeling.
"Hehe, since the Prime Minister understands, why take me in? Aren't you afraid of getting yourself caught up in it?" Ye Yi said softly without offering any rebuttal.
"Whether it's you, young friend, summoning Daoist Cangyan for my Xia Kingdom, or you taking on this hot potato for me, I will remember it all. Please rest assured, as long as I am in my residence, no one in Chang'an City of Xia Kingdom will dare to act recklessly in my Prime Minister's residence," the Prime Minister assured him.
Upon hearing this, Ye Yi shook his head and said nothing.
He was then taken away by the housekeeper.
However, Ye Yi deeply acknowledged the prime minister's intelligence in this matter.
The prime minister clearly saw that Ye Yi had deliberately leaked the information.
At the same time, it was also a deliberate act of exposing himself to a large number of powerful and influential people.
As for why the Prime Minister intervened to protect Ye Yi, it wasn't because he was so kind, but because he simply didn't want to see Chang'an City fighting amongst itself while it was about to face the Northern You Kingdom's forces.
That's why he took the initiative to bring Ye Yi into his residence for protection. This way, he could gain Ye Yi's favor and ensure that his Xia Kingdom would not suffer any internal losses during this period.
Therefore, in terms of both methods and approaches, this prime minister truly lived up to his reputation.
Ye Yi couldn't help but sigh.
However, Ye Yi couldn't help but feel a sense of awe, because this prime minister had survived the reigns of three emperors in the Xia Kingdom without falling from power.
These three emperors all trusted the prime minister very much.
It should be noted that this prime minister's abilities were quite ordinary; at least among the many powerful and influential people, he could be considered a bottom-tier figure.
But this very person commanded the utmost respect from the entire Xia court, something Ye Yi had never anticipated.
As for the arrival of Daoist Cangyan, it was a task assigned to Daoist Cangyan by Ye Yi using the Star Sea World.
In Cangyan Daoist's perception, Ye Yi, who appeared in this world, was just another lucky one who entered the Star Sea World.
That's why she called Ye Yi "little friend".
Just after Ye Yi entered the Prime Minister's residence, the previously turbulent city of Chang'an suddenly fell silent.
The experts who had been hiding in the shadows also stopped what they were doing.
Since the Prime Minister was able to send his steward to summon Ye Yi to his residence, the implication was clear: Ye Yi was safe.
This caused great trouble for the powerful and wealthy people in Chang'an.
As a prime minister who served under three emperors, although his strength was ordinary, the power behind him was quite formidable.
Chen Yuan's martial arts academy alone is a staunch supporter of the Prime Minister, and this doesn't even include the fact that his students are spread throughout the government and the country.
Therefore, these powerful and influential people secretly suffered this loss.
However, many powerful and influential people developed a degree of dissatisfaction with this prime minister.
After all, you were the one who gave out the token in the first place. What do you mean by bringing Ye Yi, an outsider, into the Prime Minister's residence for protection?
These powerful and influential people have truly lost their minds; they have completely forgotten that Ye Yi is Cangyan Daoist's contact person.
It's no wonder that the token is coveted, given its close connection to the legacy of a ruler.
This ruler can even grant immortality.
