Chapter 2697: Do My Best

The Wei Emperor's appearance on stage is already a victory.After today, if the Wei Empire wins, it will be seventh in the world; if it loses, it will be eighth!The contention between Song and Wei can finally rest! Song Empire's Chen Yan Xun, even if he breaks through the Yellow River Assembly, it will be useless.The Sheng Empire, which is still struggling to recover after being severely injured by the Mu Empire, doesn't even need to be mentioned.At the end of the day, Heaven's Chosen Contention is indeed for those "not yet fully grown." Where is the place for an Emperor to hold a knife and appear here, to represent?Hong Jun Yan looked at Jiang Wang, as if asking, "Old brother, do you still have any moves?"Jiang Wang looked at his nose, and his nose at his heart, hands in his sleeves, not speaking.The Snow Plain Emperor took a step forward, attempting to grasp the hand of the Zhen River True Monarch, reigniting their brotherhood."Both the Li Lord and the Wei Lord are heroes! Zhen River True Monarch ascended the peak only a few years ago. Presiding over this gathering, perhaps it's a bit strenuous?" The Central Emperor's voice drifted leisurely."Do you need to mobilize the Nine Dragons Hold Sun Forever Town Mountains and Rivers Seal? It was originally forged to pacify the river, so it's fitting to use it for the grand assembly."He spoke the full name of the Mountains and Rivers Seal word by word.You want to sit in the position of the Long River Dragon Lord, do you remember how the Long River Dragon Lord died?Transcendents are all unfortunate. Can you, Hong Jun Yan, still turn the world upside down?Jiang Wang took a step back, both to show respect to the Central Emperor and to avoid the icy hand of his old big brother. He stood at the edge of the world stage, arms spread wide, sleeves billowing!Four brilliant beams of light shot up from the four corners of the world stage.Each underwent dazzling transformations, weaving an eye-catching spectacle. It made people look up and stare, their eyes fixed.They were the Tai Xu Pavilion! Immortal Capital! Cloud Top Immortal Palace! As You Wish Immortal Palace!The eight members of the Tai Xu Pavilion, who had always been standing, not sitting, now all raised their eyes, some leisurely, some indifferent... directing their gazes towards the stage.The Tian Jun robe, crafted by the hand of "the world's first tailor" Gu Si Yan, now displayed only its majestic luxury. It fluttered like a flag on the world stage. Blue base with black edges, the cloud patterns distant. It made the wearer, though in front, seem far away in the viewer's heart, at the horizon. Mu Fu Yao pointed a finger from afar, a dim light flowed, dyeing his hair and crown ink-black.With an ink crown and black hair, set off by Jiang Wang's somewhat snowy eyebrows, he bowed humbly, his head slightly lowered:"We... ought to do our best."Within the Six Directions siege, treasure light was abundant. After his voice, it converged into four points of light, suspended in the four directions.Combined with the four cave-heaven treasures, the power of the nine Tai Xu Pavilion members, and Mu Fu Yao ceding his authority over the sunset... not to mention pressing the two honored Emperors of Li and Wei to death on the stage. Resisting their battle's aftershocks and protecting the audience from harm could easily be done.The audience at the scene were simply about to go crazy, each biting down hard, only fearing they would accidentally shout out.What kind of spectacle is this?I paid such a small ticket price for this kind of treatment? Should I add some money? I'm very uneasy now!Everyone except the people of the Li Empire anticipated this world-shaking battle.Wei Xuan Che also smiled and looked at Hong Jun Yan, seemingly not caring about life and death, nor putting this Emperor-ascends-the-stage battle in his heart.Of course, he was smiling. Now it was just a matter of winning more or winning less. He had even thought about the title to confer upon Yan Shao Fei after returning to the capital.Serving the country, meaning vying for the country's momentum, and not insulting the country's dignity, how could he not bestow an earlship?Hong Jun Yan glanced at his retreating and dedicated old brother Jiang, and very naturally used the hand stretched out in mid-air to brush off the dust from the other's sleeve."State and altar are soiled, making me born of dust!" He said with a smile to Wei Xuan Che.Hong Jun Yan is unrestrained.Hong Jun Yan dares to face the world.Hong Jun Yan challenges without fear.Hong Jun Yan is willing... willing my foot!Today he has mustered strength and wants to find an Emperor to fight.But absolutely not with Wei Xuan Che. The Emperor of the Li Empire fighting any of the Emperors of the six overlord empires is for him to gain something.He fighting Wei Xuan Che is Wei Xuan Che gaining something from him.In this exchange, he loses more than a little.Wei Xuan Che appeared grandly, holding a spear and coming, vowing to take this Emperor-against-Emperor fight on the View River Stage, unleash the influence of the Qi Xia War, and immediately establish the momentum of the Wei Empire.The problem is, the current Wei Empire, apart from the Wei Emperor, has only one Wu Xun who can be brought out. It is strong, yes, but how does it compare to the Qi or Xia Empires of that year?The current Li Empire, having gathered the power of two generations and the land of the five countries in the Northwest, has even more strength than the Xia and Qi of that year.Truly no edge!Wei Xuan Che even copied the Emperor's speech, saying "also have" in one breath."Also have"... directly adding "I am the same" to someone Hong's impassioned speech.Hitting geese all day, only to be pecked in the eye by geese. An old rogue who flies eagles and walks dogs, is instead rubbed all over with mud by later generations.Moreover, if this fight truly begins, how to describe it...The Li Emperor and the Wei Emperor are sparring for the Emperors of the overlord empires?Wei Xuan Che, being a junior, is a master of martial arts, his country's momentum is rising, his great endeavor is flourishing, and he doesn't mind sitting in the position of the first file under the overlord empires.He, Hong Jun Yan, who was originally on the verge of a breakthrough, was abruptly pulled down and will henceforth have to look down on people!Winning is already this miserable.In case the win is difficult, or even a tie... that is even more terrible.This battle will shatter the spirit of the Li Empire!That year, he couldn't defeat Tang Yu. At least everyone could understand. Ji Yu Su, Ji Yan Qiu, Ying Yun Nian, they were all fierce in their own way.But several thousand years have passed, and you can't even defeat a Wei Xuan Che. Can you still blame the innate insufficiency of the Snow Plain?From now on, who will have the face to say that the Li Empire has the posture of an overlord empire? This battle cannot be fought.But Wei Xuan Che has already held the bronze long spear to your nose, and Hong Jun Yan is unwilling to linger on the stage, even after a hundred objections, can he still say "I have something to do today"?Wei Xuan Che held the bronze war spear, its killing intent soaring, and smiled like a lion or tiger about to devour meat:"There are times when a monarch meditates, and the mirror of the heart is easily covered with dust. It is good to diligently wipe it clean in a timely manner."The Great Princess of the Chu Empire, watching the competition from the side, couldn't help but feel a stir in her heart.The South Dipper Hall buried an unknown person, and the Yue Empire has already become a Phoenix field.Although the Song Empire has some old scholars in the South Domain to worry about, it is nothing compared to the Wei Empire and Book Mountain.Compared to the latter, the threat from the Wei Empire is more direct.Her Emperor brother, after paving the way for the new monarch, ascended Mount Sumeru. His blue hair fell, a piece falling in this Western holy land of Buddhism.And now the Wei Emperor, who personally advocates the way of martial arts, casually spoke a Buddhist verse. Does it mean something?The Snow Plain Emperor and the current Wei Emperor's eyes met. No one knew what they exchanged in that instant.Then they heard Hong Jun Yan laugh heartily:"I firmly believe that the Wei Emperor is a hero!""Receiving the country's soil is to be called the lord of the state and altar; receiving the country's misfortune is to be a king to the world. We are one with our bodies as the country. To speak of being a model for the world, discussing swords here, first opening the Yellow River, is not impossible.""The Emperors of the world can all be seen on the wall. We bow our bodies for the country, rejoicing with the people, and each have our own choices."He said 'but' came, still much more natural than the Zhen River True Monarch:"But the Long River water rolls forward. Later waves eventually chase front waves. Though you are precious, and I humble myself, I cannot avoid the guest usurping the host, the young ones taking the color!""The people of Li did not know the Wei, now they know.""The people of Wei did not know the Li, now they see!"As he spoke, he turned sideways and gestured, his heroic spirit soaring to the sky:"Since the Central Emperor has moved seats for you and me, we, the countries of brothers, gaze side by side. What harm is there in temporarily sitting on the mountain and watching the river?"In fact, Hong Jun Yan had another choice here—Let Fu Huan come. As long as Fu Huan jumped out and said a word, no one in the Wei Empire would be qualified for an imperial audience. Naturally, the bronze long spear aimed at him could be moved away.The end result would inevitably be Fu Huan fighting Wu Xun.The outcome of Fu Huan against Wu Xun wouldn't have that much influence, and he had enough confidence in Fu Huan.But Hong Jun Yan had to think clearly, was Wei Xuan Che his enemy? Was the Wei Empire the Li Empire's enemy?Although the Wei Emperor now held a spear and wore a crown, standing opposite him with blood dripping, it seemed that this standoff could not end without distinguishing life and death. From Er Zhu He's perspective, he wished he could tear apart the Wei Empire people in front of him.But Hong Jun Yan did not see the problem this way.Ultimately, Wei Xuan Che just seized the opportunity, immediately stepped onto the stage, and achieved a complete victory. He didn't care who his opponent was.As a challenger to the overlord empires, Hong Jun Yan could understand this point.To be horizontally inserted and rubbed all over with mud, it's impossible not to feel frustrated.But he still had to consider what was the best choice for the Li Empire.Even after begging and struggling today, he still lost this move. He lost to the tacit understanding between the six great overlord empires, he lost to the already established world order. He did not lose to the ambitious Wei Empire.On the path to challenging the present world hegemony, the Li and Wei Empires, which are geographically far apart, are not only not opponents, but should be teammates!The Wei Emperor just laughed aloud, and with a light flip of his hand, that rod, which could now be called the "Yan Jun" even though it was as long-lived as a turtle, was no longer seen, returning to the underworld.Just a moment ago, this Great Wei Emperor was still chilling with killing intent, wishing he could spill blood on the stage, not hesitating to die for the country. At this moment, he was gentle and respectful again, his eyebrows humble:"Brother, please take the upper seat!"No need for soldiers, not even a bit of effort was truly expended. Just mentioning a spear.Then he firmly sat in the position of the eighth strongest country in the world, the first file under the overlord empires.Where can such benefits be found?For the Wei Empire, as long as they are under the overlord empires and above the various countries, being seventh or eighth doesn't truly matter. Recognizing a big brother is also nothing. The era of martial arts has just begun! The days ahead are long. They always need a big brother at the forefront.If the overlord empires don't suppress the big brother, where will his opportunity be? Things like today, the more the better.Two Emperors, dressed up and present, you yielded, I paid respects, sleeves hooked, they moved forward, sitting on those ice-carved crystal thrones. They even whispered to each other, talking very happily.At this moment, the Wei Emperor was respectful, the Li Emperor friendly, watching the competition hand in hand, it could be said to be harmonious.The Wei Emperor didn't spend a single soldier or recruit, not even truly exerting force. He just won what he wanted, already a full bowl. The Li Emperor kicked the relatively bad two choices aside, instead pulling the Wei Emperor closer, supporting himself, and finally not appearing too ugly, also establishing the status of the first strong country under the overlord empires.And the six great overlord empires suppressed the Li Empire's upward momentum, forcing Hong Jun Yan, this hero of a new era in the history of the Dao, to be pushed down another half step under the old position of the Dragon Lord.Everyone didn't lose.The Tai Xu Pavilion members surrounding the world stage silently returned to their seats without a sound.The Zhen River True Monarch, standing alone on the stage, silently retrieved his cave-heaven treasures.My old big brother has a new old brother again. This Hong big brother's new old brother still has some dealings with Ye great hero...This later generation is even more of a mess!The audience below the stage were even more confused—The Li Empire and the Wei Empire want to fight a country war!The Li and Wei Emperors are vying, today I fear we will see blood!Li and Wei are again brothers!Emperors are more changeable than the weather.Is there a more straightforward Emperor this year?It makes the audience suffer, and makes the people of the country also very conflicted—those with slow brains can't catch up, those with straightforward characters can't turn!On the other side, Dongfang Jingming smiled and sat down again, still bowing to Er Zhu He, single-sided and amiable.Er Zhu He's nose was originally still puffing out anger. This tightly clenched fist didn't know where to put itself. Do... or not do?Now do who?He glanced at Chen Yan Xun beside him.Li and Wei are brother countries, and the Song Empire is again the competitor of a younger brother country...Er Zhu He is vengeful, and looking again, he looked towards Bao Xuan Jing.Bao Xuan Jing was always very silent.In fact, ever since Mu Fu Yao stood out from the viewing seat, this young Earl of the Great Qi Empire stopped his endless chatter.His expression was ordinary, just with a little of the right amount of tension before a big match, and the confidence of a young person who dares to face everything.He just ignored Er Zhu He's gaze.He was just there non-stop... eating "sugar pills."Fan Zheng glanced at him from the side, half out of good heart, half probing:"You eat less, I see you're addicted. How many pills a day?"Bao Xuan Jing didn't care at all:"This thing isn't addictive. I eat it every day, never addicted.""Why is that one from the Li Empire looking at you like that?" Fan Zheng pretended to be casual:"Maybe I'm seeing it wrong. He shouldn't really have any opinion of you."Young people are too easily provoked. They don't show too much of their evil side, and instead have a kind of naive cuteness.In Bao Xuan Jing's view, the true child prodigy of the Qin Empire was only Gan Chang An, who was "eight years old and could navigate Chang An" back then. That was a true child prodigy, wise at a young age. After these years of tempering, he is even more steady, proficient in both civil and military matters, and has the talent of a prime minister.And "more victorious than Chang An" Fan Zheng... is just a little child who was forced to mature too early.The Fan family is not an ancient family in the Qin Empire. They have no long heritage. They only rose as a new noble in the generation of Fan Si Nian.And Fan Zheng is a distant relative of the Fan family with a very thin bloodline. Because of his innate cleverness, he was brought to Fan Si Nian's side to cultivate, and later even accepted as a direct descendant, recorded in the family genealogy, and became the legal grandson of the Great Qin prime minister...Bao Xuan Jing thought, Prime Minister Fan Si Nian of the Qin Empire is perhaps not inferior to Mr. Man Jia in talent, but wanting everything to be perfect will ultimately make him live a very tiring life. Perhaps he himself enjoys it, but those around him may not be able to endure. Of course, the thirteen-year-old child prodigy Fan Zheng, for him who had to ascend the stage this year, was a very good cover—or perhaps thirteen-year-old Fan Zheng, seeing twelve-year-old him, also had a sense of kinship. That's why he would frequently direct his curiosity to this side."I also want to be as naive as him." Bao Xuan Jing chewed on a 'sugar pill', his tone relaxed and smiling:"Unfortunately, my brain doesn't allow it."The long road is endless, isn't it? Both he and Mu Fu Yao are restarting, aren't they?Once the supreme underworld god, before the new era came, they coincidentally chose to be close to the era's Heaven's Chosen, wanting to rise with the wind.Relatively speaking, Mu Fu Yao retained more powerful strength, but he had a broader life—this is why Mu Fu Yao had to bet everything, while he still had choices.The legendary story is only just beginning.Speaking ill of others together is a good way for children to promote friendship.Of course, to become true comrades in life and death, these small means are not enough.Why can Zhen River True Monarch stand on the world stage today, expound his reasons, and carry out his will? Not only because of his strength, but also because over the years, his actions have won the trust of many people, and he has united some like-minded and powerful people.To replicate the path of the Zhen River True Monarch, these "peers" this year are all very important targets for development.This is also the reason he has been tirelessly writing letters over the years. The first step is to leave a deep impression. Only one or two key events can catalyze emotion.For example, the greasy parts about him that are similar to many adults.Seen from another angle, he is just a young man with a difficult fate, who, for his family, had to stand out and bear the burden.No one came up again to ask who should draw lots.The Zhen River True Monarch on the stage snapped his fingers, breaking a star. The flowing light divided into six, determining the opening list.The first person to fight in the inner mansion field was from the Mu Empire, with gray eyes, Bo Er Zhi Jin·Fu Yan Ci.His opponent...The brilliant light instantly turned ten thousand times, erupting into two clear Qin seals.
