"Your Majesty..."
Duke Protector Leng Hanjiang spoke again, "We just received the latest intelligence. The mineral exploration team formed by our Xuanbing Divine Nation and Benlei Divine Nation has discovered a mid-level divine stone vein and killed a late-stage divine warrior-level Phantom Mist Demon Spider. Except for Ling Shuangying who died in the battle, the other five have all returned safely!"
“This is impossible!!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Jiuyou beside him shouted sharply, "The report I received was that only Ling Shuangying survived, and the other five were killed in the battle. How can you say the exact opposite of what I said? You are lying to me!"
Leng Hanjiang remained calm and said with a smile, "Reporting to the Heavenly King, your information is old, and this is the latest. As for why such a reversal occurred, we have to ask the person involved to find out."
"Your Majesty, there must be a traitor framing our clan's genius, Ling Shuangying!"
Ling Jiuyou turned to look at the Empress on the Dragon Throne and said sternly, "Your Majesty, please issue an order to severely punish his two teammates. Once they return to the Royal City, they will be executed immediately!"
He had barely finished speaking when Leng Guanxing, the Black Crystal Heavenly King standing beside him in a snow-white robe, sneered, "Frost Soul Heavenly King, the fact that only your Ling clan's prodigy survived means the other teammates are unworthy. Only you, the Ling clan's prodigy, are the pillars of the Divine Nation. Now that only your Ling clan's prodigy has died in battle, it must be a traitor's frame-up, forcing His Majesty to punish the other team members. You're clearly playing double standards!"
At this moment, outside the palace came a report that the special envoy Ben Lei requested an audience with the empress.
The Xuanbing Divine Kingdom and the Benlei Divine Kingdom are allies and have each other's special envoys in the royal city to ensure timely communication.
After the Benlei Envoy entered the palace, he bowed to the Empress and said, "Your Majesty, I have come to convey the gratitude of the Thunder Emperor and the Thunder King. I thank you for General Ye Chen of Funan, who saved our Divine Kingdom, including Lei Haocang, three other geniuses, in times of crisis..."
As he spoke, the special envoy recounted Ling Shuangying's despicable and shameless behavior and gave a brief description of how Ye Chen rescued everyone.
Upon hearing this, the Empress looked Ling Jiuyou in the eyes and said coldly, "Frost Soul Heavenly King, what else do you have to say?"
"If Ye Chen hadn't acted in time, it would have almost caused a diplomatic incident!"
Leng Hanjiang sighed.
Ling Jiuyou's expression was uncertain. After a long silence, he slowly said, "I will investigate the cause of this matter and then report to His Majesty!"
After saying this, he left the palace on his own.
"Ling Jiuyou, His Majesty hasn't even announced the end of the court yet, and you're already leaving. You're showing contempt for His Majesty!"
Leng Guanxing scolded in a deep voice, but when he saw the empress raised her hand to stop her, he gave up.
"Let him be."
The empress spoke indifferently, with a hint of fatigue in her voice.
Then he slowly stood up, threw off his Ice Phoenix court robes, and headed towards the back hall.
The political situation is unstable now. Even though she knows that Ling Jiuyou is guilty, she dare not do anything to a king. Everything must be based on the overall situation.
All she could do now was to practice hard and improve her strength. If she could reach the peak of the God King Realm, then all her current problems would be solved.
But, that is too difficult...
Moreover, the trivial affairs of state affairs have already made her busy and exhausted.
She now urgently wants to build up her own power and find a few capable people to help her deal with those complicated and difficult problems that must be dealt with, so as to stabilize the government.
"When Ye Chen returns to the royal city, I will confer him the title of Marquis!"
After the empress said this, her figure disappeared into the Xuanbing Palace.
…
at the same time.
On a small road near the junction of three countries, a unicorn carriage was galloping towards the northwest.
Inside the car.
Ye Chen sat cross-legged on the couch on the left side of the carriage, circulating his divine power and continuing to consolidate his cultivation.
Although this exploration mission had some twists and turns, it allowed him to obtain divine-level spiritual materials.
Especially the pair of main eyes of the Phantom Mist Spider. If they were to be auctioned, they would be worth at least nearly a hundred divine stones.
In addition, there is also some spider blood, which is also a great tonic for cultivators and can also be used as a material for alchemy.
In addition, Ling Shuangying’s share of the spoils, the two auxiliary eyes, are now in his pocket.
Although it is not as valuable as the main eye, it is also a rare divine-level spiritual material.
Of course, this time I also got a divine weapon—
Frost Soul Doll.
This magical weapon can summon three shadows to affect the opponent's spirit and mind.
It can also allow itself to exchange positions with magic weapons, but it seems that it requires the cooperation of the Ling clan's skills or bloodline to activate.
This is obviously a magic weapon specially made for the genius of the Ling clan.
Even if other people obtained it, they would not be able to unleash the full power of this magic weapon.
Of course, even so, it is still an excellent divine-level auxiliary magic weapon.
After I get back, I can find Caiyi to sell it.
However, Ye Chen felt that the Frost Soul Royal Family would definitely send someone to negotiate with him, using threats and inducements to return this magic weapon to them.
But these are all things for the future. Let’s talk about them later when the Ling clan really comes to us.
Just then.
Ye Chen felt someone approaching him and smelled a fragrant breeze.
He slowly opened his eyes and was not surprised to see a pretty face close to him.
It was Leng Meir.
At this time, the latter had moved from the opposite side to his side at some point. Her delicate body leaned towards him, with a charming smile on her pretty face, almost only a fist away from his face.
A charming feeling echoed in the carriage.
"Miss Mei'er, what's the matter?"
Ye Chen frowned slightly and asked lightly.
As he spoke, his eyes shifted slightly downwards, and he discovered that under Leng Meir's spacious and loose neckline, half a finger above her plump left breast, there was a pink heart tattoo.
"If there's nothing else, can't I just come and chat with you, sir?"
Leng Meir's eyes were as charming as silk, her voice was filled with a tingling feeling, and her breath from her mouth was as fragrant as orchid, making people intoxicated.
As she spoke, Leng Meir opened her lips slightly and slowly approached Ye Chen's lips.
However, just before she kissed him, Ye Chen turned his face away inconspicuously and looked out the car window.
Then he said calmly: "This road doesn't seem to be the road we took when we came here. Did we go the wrong way?"
The Xuanbing Royal City is located in the northeast direction, and the carriage is now heading northwest.
Then he listened to Leng Mei'er's explanation with a smile: "There is a small town not far from here called 'Indulgence Town'. Several of my good sisters live in the town. I haven't seen them for many years.
This time I came to the border, I just happened to go and see them. I apologize for not informing you in advance."
