Chapter 34 People from the Capital
Chapter 34 People from the Capital
Qingze Kingdom is one of the six kingdoms established by the Shanren people after the collapse of the unified state caused by the death of the Great Emperor thousands of years ago. Not only on the Sea Dragon Continent, but also on the other two continents, the Shanren Empire exists, and the six parties help and watch over each other.
Qingze has tens of millions of citizens, many of whom are powerful, and it also has a ninth-level Saint Ancestor in charge, making it a relatively powerful country in the Hailong Continent.
In the capital city, as night fell, a small, inconspicuous streak of blue light flashed across the black night sky, disappearing in an instant like lightning, and landed in a spacious courtyard.
In the courtyard stood tall, dark wooden pillars. A stream of light fell on one of the pillars, revealing a bird with blue feathers all over its body, about a foot long, with a bright white horn on its head, and very bright, intelligent eyes that even revealed a hint of humanity.
It looked around to make sure no one was there, then flapped its wings, raised its head, and let out a clear chirp.
"Huh, it's so late, and there's still mail coming in?" A man dressed as an official of the Imperial Government's Internal Affairs Department walked in, looking at the griffin on the wooden post with surprise. The griffin looked down at him and grumbled in dissatisfaction.
"Alright, alright, little one, don't rush, I'll feed you right away. Give me the letter first." The official untied the specially made tube containing the letter from its feet and glanced at the markings on the outside. "Hmm? This number... is it Wanhe City?"
Soon after, the letter appeared in the Imperial Intelligence and Surveillance Department. After being studied and analyzed, the female city lord's report quickly came to the attention of the imperial high command.
"A Saint who is suspected to be a Shanren has appeared in Wanhe City? And there is more than one? One of them may be a high-level Saint?" The capital immediately took this information seriously.
Each saint possesses the power to easily destroy a city, and this should not be underestimated.
"An unfamiliar Shanren Saint? Shouldn't every Saint in our Shanren Alliance be recorded?" Some of the higher-ups felt puzzled.
On this planet, the stronger a person is, the greater their influence. Every faction attaches great importance to collecting information about the strong, and every time a saint appears, all parties will record it.
Strong individuals all undergo a growth process; they almost never appear out of thin air.
Of course, this is normal. Occasionally, there will be some reclusive individuals who stay away from all sides and do not concern themselves with worldly affairs. They may cultivate to a very high level without anyone knowing, but this situation is very rare.
Some forces secretly cultivate powerful individuals, keeping them hidden from public view.
"Since he is a Saint, we cannot ignore him. Send an envoy to visit him and see what's going on. If possible, recruit him to our side." The Qingze Kingdom's high-level officials quickly made a decision. There are not many high-level Saints in the world, and a high-level Saint is still very attractive to every force.
A force led by three saints hurriedly departed from the capital the next day, heading towards Wanhe City.
......
Another day passed, and Suk returned to the spaceship control room to continue monitoring yesterday's progress.
Kadibs was diligent and lived up to expectations. He even declined the invitation from the beautiful female city lord and hadn't rested since yesterday. He and a group of his subordinates had been immersed in the city lord's library, collecting a lot of information. They did indeed obtain a lot of useful intelligence, which was analyzed and summarized by the intelligent computer and presented to Suk.
"Hmm?" Suk discovered a "twilight phenomenon" that had once occurred on Gulei Star. This refers to the fact that every so often, many powerful figures from various factions on the planet would disappear and never reappear, presumably as dead.
"The ones who disappeared were mostly saints? And they all disappeared suddenly at the same time?" Suk keenly sensed something.
"And soon after the saints disappear, a new emperor will be born, ruling the world for nearly 100,000 years!" Suk narrowed his eyes.
Of course, there are also rumors that after the new emperor was born, in order to conquer the world, he massacred the saints of various forces on a large scale and forced them to submit.
Suk pondered for a moment, "I think the appearance of the Great Emperor is because of those vanished Saints... Perhaps it was because of the opportunity to become a Great Emperor that these Saints flocked to it so much, or perhaps it was because that place was too dangerous, causing the Saints to die one after another, or perhaps they fought each other to compete for it... A large number of powerful people fell at the same time, which is why there is a fixed period of decline."
Just as Suk was pondering this, he discovered that a new situation had arisen with Kadibus.
Wanhe City.
The female city lord got up early in the morning. Last night she received a letter from the capital, informing her that a special envoy from the capital would be coming today.
"The special envoy should be a saint, right? Two saints meeting..." The female city lord was under great pressure. If the two sides couldn't reach an agreement and a conflict broke out, she might lose the Wanhe City she had worked so hard to build.
With a whoosh, streaks of light flew from the distant horizon and stopped above the City Lord's Mansion.
At the same time, a powerful aura spread out.
A group of people floated above the city lord's mansion. Leading them was a handsome man with a fair complexion and no beard. His facial features had the characteristics of the Shan people, with azure eyes, long silver hair flowing, and he wore white armor with a long sword on his back. He exuded an aura of ice and snow.
Behind them were two powerful alien beings of slightly lower status: a woman with greenish-blue skin and cat-like heterochromatic eyes, and a cold, sinister man dressed entirely in black with bat wings on his back.
Following them were a dozen or so extraordinary beings with little presence, all of whom were carrying weapons.
Although Gu Lei Xing also has spatial storage devices, they are extremely rare and precious. Even emperors may not be able to possess them. Although they cannot improve combat power, they have always been treasured by the forces that obtain them. The powerful do not have spatial storage devices, and their weapons are always carried with them.
"High-level Saints!" The female city lord almost collapsed. "And there's more than one." She hadn't expected the capital to have such a grand display.
"I am Leon, the special envoy from the capital. You are the city lord of Wanhe City, right?" The icy man looked down at her, his sharp eyes piercing Aki Shino's heart like a sword.
"Your subordinate greets Your Excellency, the Special Envoy." City Lord Aki knelt down humbly, and the other extraordinary and ordinary soldiers behind him followed suit.
"I feel like I've seen you before." Leon narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked you over.
Lord Aki respectfully replied, "152 years ago, when I was ordered to report to the capital, I had the honor of seeing you, sir, outside the Hall of Glory."
"I see." Leon glanced at it and lost interest. After so many years, he was still only at the Extraordinary Level 4. Either his talent was extremely poor, or he was addicted to pleasure. He had no value at all.
If one does not become a saint, one will remain an ant.
"Take me to meet that unfamiliar saint," Leon said.
This royal elder, who has lived in seclusion in the capital for many years, is a true eighth-level Saint. He is absolutely powerful among Saints, second only to those at the peak. Moreover, he has his own unique skills. Looking at the world, there are fewer than a handful of people who can kill him.
Besides him, two other seventh-level Saints, whom the royal family had gone to great lengths to win over, accompanied him. The simultaneous appearance of three high-level Saints was extremely rare, demonstrating the empire's high regard for this suddenly appearing, unfamiliar Saint.
