After a while, when everyone stood up straight, the empress continued, "I have summoned all of you here to reward one person for his merits and to perform a ceremony to confer a title on him."
As she spoke, the empress looked towards Ye Chen.
"General Fu Nan, Ye Chen."
"exist."
In front of all the nobles of the Xuanbing Divine Kingdom, Ye Chen still gave the empress great respect.
The Empress continued aloud, "General Ye Chen previously captured two cities of the Blazing Sun Divine Kingdom, which greatly boosted the morale of our army on the southern border of the Divine Kingdom and led to a great victory in the battle with the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion of the Blazing Sun Divine Kingdom. Now he has gone to the border again and discovered a mid-level divine stone vein for the Divine Kingdom. His hard work and contribution are great.
Therefore, I have decided to confer the title of…"
"Your Majesty, please confer the title on Ye Chen. I refuse to accept it!"
Just as the empress was about to finish her words, a man's high-pitched voice suddenly came from below, interrupting the empress's enthronement.
The empress turned her eyes slightly and looked at that place with majesty.
But he discovered that the person who spoke was a young man standing behind Frost Soul King.
Before the Empress could speak, Frost Soul Heavenly King Ling Jiuyou was the first to reprimand her, "How dare you, you idiot, interrupt His Majesty's words in the court? Do you really want to die?"
After he finished speaking, he looked up at the Empress and said apologetically, "Your Majesty, this boy is Ling Fang, a proud member of our clan's branch. He is straightforward and quick-witted. He has offended Your Majesty. I beg your Majesty to make his decision."
The empress narrowed her long and narrow eyes slightly, and looked at the pretentious Ling Jiuyou below with a smile.
Without the latter's secret instructions, how could a small member of a branch dare to disrupt the court?
How many heads does he have to dare to do that?
He just wanted to take the opportunity to create trouble and interrupt her enthronement.
His straightforward personality and quick words were just excuses for Ling Fang to escape punishment.
Besides, the other party has already said so. If she forcibly confers the title on her, how will she convince the people in the future?
Thinking of this, the empress looked at Ling Fang and said indifferently: "Ling Fang, if you are dissatisfied, tell me!"
Ling Fang didn't hesitate after hearing this. He gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, I have made no fewer military achievements for the Kingdom of God than Ye Chen, and I have also explored mineral veins. Why can Ye Chen, a guy who just joined the Kingdom of God, be granted a title of nobility before me? I refuse to accept it!"
"Based on my ability, I am bigger than you."
Everyone looked and saw that the person who answered was Ye Chen, who had been standing at the steps of the empress's dragon throne.
The other party is pointing at my nose and scolding me. If I don’t fight back, they will think I am easy to bully.
Ye Chen slowly took two steps forward and stood in the open space in the middle of the court. He looked at Ling Fang and asked, "Are you satisfied with this answer, brother?"
"Arrogant boy, what qualifications do you have to say that you are more capable than me?"
Ling Fang, unwilling to be outdone, stepped out from the crowd and completely released the aura of his great perfection in the Spirit Gathering Divine Realm.
If it weren't for his status as a branch of the family, he should have been granted a title of nobility long ago based on his military achievements and qualifications, but it has been delayed until now.
If he fails to seize this opportunity, it will be even more difficult for him to become a marquis in the future, and his hope of entering the realm of a divine warrior will be even slimmer.
He pointed at Ye Chen and sneered, "Do you dare to challenge me in front of the palace? The winner will be made a marquis, and the loser will get out!"
These words of his had been decided in advance.
This was the order of the Heavenly King Patriarch, and he dared not disobey.
Although he knew that doing so would mean narrowing his own path and that the Empress and many other court officials would think he was a reckless man who would never achieve anything great, he had no choice.
If he gives it a try, he still has the hope of becoming a marquis and entering the realm of a divine warrior. If he retreats, his martial arts journey in this life may end here.
At this moment, a man and a woman walked out from behind the Second Cold Chi Heavenly King and the Dark Frost Heavenly King respectively.
He stepped forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I also want to compete with Ye Chen. Only the winner is qualified to be made a marquis!"
Seeing the current situation, Frost Soul King Ling Jiuyou showed a barely perceptible smile at the corner of his mouth.
He originally wanted to take this opportunity to test Ye Chen's strength. After all, he had never seen Ye Chen take action with his own eyes, so he secretly instructed Ling Fang to do what he did just now.
But unexpectedly, the two old foxes Ao Beiming and Mo Wusheng could no longer sit still and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and snatch the title of marquis into the hands of their own clan.
But this is naturally better. He wants to see how the empress and her supporters end up today!
Some of the officials who were attached to the three royal families were secretly looking at Ye Chen in the venue with gloating eyes.
Now that three challengers have appeared at the same time, I'm afraid Ye Chen will have to walk out of the temple sideways today.
What no one expected was that Ye Chen still had a calm expression at this moment.
Not only was he not afraid at all, he looked at everyone and asked with a faint smile, "Besides these three, is there anyone else who wants to challenge me?"
There was silence below.
Most of these people are in high positions, so naturally they disdain to step down, and there is no need for them to step down.
Only those who have the opportunity to compete for the title of nobility will be eager to take action.
However, after seeing the three challengers, those who were ready to make a move all retreated in disappointment and dared not step forward.
Ling Fang, Ao Qing, Mo Nanchun...
The three great geniuses are all powerful masters who have reached the great perfection of the Spirit Gathering Divine Realm.
If it weren't for their branch family origins, they would have been granted the title of nobility long ago.
After waiting for a while, Ye Chen said calmly: "It seems that these three are the only ones who want to challenge me."
As he spoke, his gaze turned towards Ling Fang, Ao Qing, and Mo Nanchun.
"Ye Chen, stop talking nonsense. How do you want to compete?"
Ling Fang took a step forward, his face revealing an extremely confident look. "I can be your first opponent. Whoever loses will get out, and the other one will take over until the winner is finally decided. How about that?"
"I don't have time to talk to you."
Ye Chen shook his head slightly, looked at the three people and said, "You all come together."
The three of them glanced at each other, and Ling Fang sneered, "You asked for this!"
Naturally, he didn't want to give Ye Chen a chance to regret, so he moved immediately, leaving behind a shadow, and attacked Ye Chen fiercely.
Looking at the other party rushing towards him, Ye Chen shook his head slightly, with disappointment in his eyes.
The opponent's strength is much weaker than Ling Shuangying's.
“It’s too slow…”
When Ling Fang's afterimage came, Ye Chen dodged sideways in an instant and kicked Ling Fang away with a solid side kick.
Seeing this, Ao Qing and Mo Nanchun on the side spread out their cultivation and flew from the left and right to attack Ye Chen.
However, the seemingly powerful attack from the two was directly blocked by Ye Chen who raised his hand, and then one of them kicked and sent them flying backwards towards the ministers.
The expressions of those who originally did not think highly of Ye Chen froze.
Even though the three great geniuses of the royal families came out together, they were no match for Ye Chen!
