Ten days later.
Inside the Shuo Palace, the damaged buildings have been repaired, and even some attics and halls have been renovated, appearing magnificent. They have also been re-placed with decorative spiritual treasures and objects, and many of the floors leading to the halls have been paved with a layer of silver liquid stone.
The moment you step onto the silver liquid stone road, you will find that the liquid in the silver stone is flowing, and then it seems as if a pure spiritual energy spreads from the soles of your feet to your whole body, making you feel refreshed and comfortable.
When representatives from various forces came to Shuo Palace, their eyes were filled with surprise and disbelief.
Someone exclaimed, "This Silver Liquid Stone is a priceless refining material!"
"Isn't this too rich?"
"This is my first time in Shuo Palace. I feel like my entire aura has been weakened by this tall building."
An elder in white snorted coldly and said, "Oh, you don't know. I was here once before. As I was walking, my legs gave out and I almost fell to the ground. Do you know why? It was because of those Jingwei who were staring at me openly and secretly. Their gazes were so oppressive and menacing that it was impossible to look directly at them."
The elder in white said this and looked around.
He sighed deeply with regret, "Now, there are many less Jingwei in Shuo Palace."
All added up, it is less than one-tenth of the previous amount.
When the Emperor was around, no one dared to say anything against him. He was cold and ruthless by nature, and could kill someone with just a glance, and he wouldn't give his enemies a chance to argue.
It was this person who supported the entire Shuo Palace and developed it to a position that no one dared to offend. Even the master of the Chixiao Shenfeng Palace did not dare to be too arrogant in front of the Shuo Palace.
Unexpectedly, a change of power gradually eliminated Shuo Palace.
Even if Yun Zheng has the help of two envoys from the continent, it won't last long, because those two envoys will have to go back one day!
By then, once the envoys from the two continents leave, the Shuo Palace will soon be divided up.
That's the reality.
Not to mention, Yun Zheng is now in a disabled state, because according to rumors, Yun Zheng is blind.
Of the four great Dharma protectors, only two remained. Of the tens of thousands of Jingwei, only a few thousand remained, their strength and numbers drastically reduced.
The elder in white sighed, "Judging from the situation, Shuo Palace may appear strong on the outside, but in reality, it is a spent force."
Another person disagreed, saying, "Isn't it said that Qiongtian Academy and the royal family have close ties with Shuo Palace? I think they should help Shuo Palace..."
"Qiongtian Academy and the royal family? They can hardly protect themselves, let alone help Shuo Palace." The elder shook his head, his eyes obscure. The three major forces, Jiugong Zun, Sanqing Sect, and Wuzong Palace, not only had their eyes on Shuo Palace, but had also long been eyeing Qiongtian Academy and the royal family, especially the resources of Qiongtian Academy, which made Jiugong Zun and the others envious.
When the representatives of other forces heard this, their expressions varied and their thoughts were in turmoil.
Some forces are preparing to cling to the newly emerging "three top forces", while the remaining forces are still in a neutral state.
Just then—
"The Lord of the Nine Palaces is here!"
Everyone immediately turned around and looked in the direction of the voice, only to see that the leader was a middle-aged man with a slightly bloated figure. He was wearing a luxurious and ostentatious fine brocade robe. He had a smile on his face, but it seemed that he was not smiling from the inside out, which made people feel uneasy.
When he narrowed his eyes slightly, he gave people a sense of great pressure.
The Lord of Jiugongzun is named Qiu Yuanwei, and his cultivation is in the late stage of the Supreme Realm.
Qiu Yuanwei was followed by three rows of guards and two elders. It didn't look like they were there to attend the banquet sincerely, but rather to cause trouble.
An old man in purple immediately greeted him with a smile and bowed in the direction of Qiu Yuanwei.
"I am the Grand Elder of Purple Thunder Peak. Nice to meet you, Master."
Qiu Yuanwei's smile deepened, and he raised his chin slightly, and the squeezed double chin was relieved.
"Grand Elder of Purple Thunder Peak, huh? I'll remember that."
"Yes, yes, your Excellency is wise." The old man in purple responded flatteringly.
Seeing this, the others looked at each other thoughtfully, then a hypocritical smile appeared on their faces and they bowed in the direction of Qiu Yuanwei.
"Greetings, Lord..."
Qiu Yuanwei was very pleased with this, but he was unwilling to lose his status and deal with these people from small and medium-sized forces here.
So, he slowly raised his hand.
"Everyone, let's go into the hall first. Maybe the Emperor and Empress of Shuo Palace are waiting for us."
When he mentioned the word 'Emperor and Empress', Qiu Yuanwei's tone deliberately became heavier, with a hint of inexplicable sarcasm.
Everyone present smiled with ambiguous meanings.
The Grand Elder of Purple Thunder Peak, in an attempt to curry favor with Qiu Yuanwei, said, "Your Excellency, you're joking! How can a little girl be worthy of the title of 'Empress'? Putting aside her strength, she's already blind!"
"What can a blind man accomplish? Isn't this ridiculous?"
Qiu Yuanwei felt relieved upon hearing this, but he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he frowned slightly and said, "Hey, you can't say that. She's just a little girl, how can you say that to her?"
Upon hearing this, the purple-robed elder raised his eyes and carefully observed the change in Qiu Yuanwei's expression. Seeing that Qiu Yuanwei was just talking and didn't really care, he quickly smiled and said, "Yes, yes, my lord, I was wrong."
Qiu Yuanwei's lips curled slightly.
"Come in."
Many people responded quickly in order to get close to him.
The elder in white frowned and looked around again, and found that the Jingweis of Shuo Palace were not moved at all by these words.
He wondered in his heart, how could the Jingweis in Shuo Palace tolerate their emperor and empress being insulted?
The young man beside the white-robed elder stretched his neck and looked into the hall curiously. He couldn't help but turn to the white-robed elder and urged, "Elder Qiu Hu, they have all gone in."
Elder Qiu Hu heard this, suppressed his thoughts, nodded, and said, "Let's go."
Many banquets were set up in the huge hall, and people from many forces had already sat down. The Lord of the Nine Palaces, Qiu Yuanwei, was led to the seat at the front by the guards of the Shuo Palace.
When everyone saw this scene, they felt a little weird. Was Yun Zheng trying to please Qiu Yuanwei?
Otherwise, given the current situation, this guest seat at the front must have been reserved for the three top forces: Qiongtian Academy, the Royal Family, and Mozhou Island. But now it has been given to Jiugong Zun!
"The sky is going to change..." someone murmured to himself.
At this time, someone else came outside the hall.
"They are from Sanqing Sect and Wuzong Palace!"
The two people standing shoulder to shoulder were a man in his thirties on the left and an old man on the right. They were Xia Mingzhi, the leader of Sanqing Sect, and Sun Hongbo, the leader of Wuzong Palace.
