"Heavenly Court Regent Fang Jian decrees: The original Lingqi Dao Kingdom's 740,000-li territory is now annexed to the three prefectures of Fufeng, Lingxu, and Cheng'a."
"I decree that Guo Xuan be the City God of Fufeng City and the Immortal Lord of Fufeng Prefecture."
"I decree that Dongyou be the City God of Lingxu City and the Immortal Lord of Lingxu Prefecture."
"I decree that Lü Yan be the City God of Cheng'a City and the Immortal Lord of Cheng'a Prefecture."
The sound of wind chimes in the circular corridor was crisp and pleasant. Ban Shu, the wife of the king of Chanlaidao, looked at the contents of the letter in her hand and couldn't help but sigh.
"The Lingqi Taoist Kingdom...is it destroyed now?" Ban Shu let out a light sigh.
Zong Xi, the crown prince of Baizhen Dao Kingdom, glanced at the letter in Ban Shu's hand and asked, "Aunt, is this the 'Wind Whisper Letter' you are looking at?"
Ban Shu nodded and said, "Yes, Feng Yu Chuanzhi said that our Chanlai Dao Kingdom has allowed the Fengyi Clan to open a 'Book Post' in the country."
Zong Xi nodded and said, "My father hasn't agreed yet. The elders of the Fengyi tribe have already come."
Ban Shu asked, "Why don't you agree, brother?"
Zong Xi said, "It's not that my father disagrees, but he still has some concerns. If the Fengyi tribe is allowed to open a 'book station' in the country, it will easily spread things that will affect the people."
Upon hearing this, Ban Shu immediately said, "What's there to worry about? All we need to do is sign a contract with the Fengyi tribe, stipulating that all communications involving our country must be reviewed before they can be sent out. Isn't that enough?"
Zong Xi's eyes lit up and he said, "Aunt, this is a good idea. I will report it to my father and the king later."
"This is your uncle's idea, not mine." Ban Shu said with a smile.
At this point, Ban Shu became a little worried. "The Heavenly Court is developing so rapidly. Your Baizhen Dao Country is only separated from the Heavenly Court by the Chongjiang Dao Country. Alas, I am really worried about you."
Zong Xi said, "The Heavenly Court cannot threaten the Baizhen Dao Kingdom in the short term."
"Oh? Why do you say that?" Ban Shu asked.
Zong Xi said, "First, Heaven needs to assimilate the Lingqi Dao Kingdom. Second, Heaven captured the Lingqi Dao Kingdom and killed four of its rulers because the four nations joined forces to attack Heaven, forcing Heaven to strike back. Our Baizhen Dao Kingdom has no grudges against Heaven, and there's also the Chongjiang Dao Kingdom between us, so Heaven won't pose a threat to our Baizhen Dao Kingdom for the time being."
"Besides..." Zong Xi pondered for a moment and said, "I have met the Regent of Heaven. He doesn't seem to be the kind of person who would invade other countries without reason."
Upon hearing this, Ban Shu sighed and said, "Originally, I returned to Baizhen Dao Country for two reasons: one was to visit my relatives, and the other was to get in touch with Fang Jian. Perhaps in the future, I could cooperate with him in Chanlai Dao Country. I never expected something like this to happen. Sigh."
Zong Xi said, "Among the four rulers who attacked Heaven, except for Daoist Master Taixu, the other three Daoists are the sons of the five regent Daoists. Heaven has executed the four rulers. I'm afraid the regent Daoists will directly attack Heaven. It's hard to say what the situation will be like."
Ban Shu said nonchalantly, "Though the three rulers are the sons of the three regent Dao Zuns, the five regent Dao Zuns are all powerful beings in the Three Purities Realm. They probably don't consider the father-son relationship that important. The descendants of the regent Dao Zuns have perished before, but the regent Dao Zuns didn't make a big fuss about it."
After hearing this, Zong Xi thought about it carefully and realized that it was true. After practicing to that level, unless one was deliberately retaining that emotion, he would have already become emotionless and desireless. How could he let the affairs of his descendants affect his spiritual heart?
At this moment, a female court official quickly walked to the flower corridor in the back garden and bowed to Zong Xi, saying, "Your Highness, the king has issued an edict ordering you to proceed to the Tairan Palace for a meeting."
Zong Xi asked, "What's the matter?"
The female minister reported, "Emissaries from the Jingshan Dao Kingdom and the Ganzhao Dao Kingdom have arrived. The crown princes of the two countries have received the decree from Yujing and are planning their enthronement ceremonies. Therefore, they have sent envoys to our country to invite the king to attend the ceremony."
Zong Xi frowned, then stood up and said, "I understand. Go and tell your father and king that I'll be there soon."
"Yes." The female minister bowed and turned to leave.
Ban Shu also frowned at this moment and said, "The crown princes of two countries are holding their enthronement ceremonies at the same time... Which country should we go to for the ceremony? This is not a easy decision to make, brother."
Zong Xi also nodded and said, "There is no wife in our country, so the king can only go to one country to attend the ceremony, but no matter where he goes, he will offend the other country."
Ban Shu said helplessly, "I told him to marry someone a long time ago, but he refused to listen."
Although a country has a ruler and a crown prince, it stands to reason that the ruler and the crown prince can each go to one country to attend the ceremony, but this decision is difficult to make now. As neighboring countries of Jingshan Dao Kingdom and Ganzhao Dao Kingdom, the two countries sent envoys to invite at this juncture, which shows that they both want to gain the support of Baizhen Dao Kingdom.
So, if the ruler of Baizhendao Kingdom visits a country in person, it means that he supports and is close to that country. Even if he sends his son to another country, it seems that he does not attach much importance to that country.
"This is a big problem." Zong Xi said, and immediately bowed to Ban Shu and said, "Aunt, I will go to Tairan Hall to discuss matters first."
Ban Shu smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, go ahead."
Shortly after Zong Xi left, a breeze blew into Langyuan, and then a new "jade book" appeared on the jade table in front of Ban Shu.
This is the Fengyi Clan's "Wind Whisper Letter". As long as you pay the Fengyi Clan a monthly subscription fee, the Fengyi Clan will send you a letter every day recording the major events that have just happened in the Xiantian Wuji Realm.
Ban Shu looked at the letter that suddenly appeared in front of him, picked it up and took a look at it, and then his face changed.
"Jingshan Dao State...sixteen high-ranking officials are vying for the throne?" Ban Shu immediately stood up after hearing the news and called out to the outside of Langyuan, "Someone come."
