At this time, the atmosphere in the palace hall was really a bit weird, there were not many people present, there were only five people in total, but they were also the five people with the highest status in the royal family now.

Jiang Hanhai, Jiang Ling, Ning Yuan, Jiang Xueyan and Ning Zhi had just received Luo Wenxiang's letter, and they all already knew the seriousness of the matter.

Without the royal family noticing, several figures in the business world had already begun to prepare to oppose the royal family, and now they began to do so, and they were well prepared.

But the royal family didn't expect this to happen at all, which was equivalent to turning the other cheek with the royal family, they didn't expect them to act so quickly.

That's right, the royal family knew that as their own business chain gradually matured, those merchants would feel uneasy and take certain actions, but so quickly, they did not expect it.

At least for now, the development of the royal family still needs to rely on them, and the rapid growth of the royal family has only brought them benefits so far.

"Now that this is the case, it seems necessary to go to the Old City and meet with them. ”

Jiang Hanhai said that Luo Wenxiang's letter said that if you want to solve this matter as soon as possible, you can come to the old city, and as long as the people from the royal family arrive, you can suspend the acquisition.

But this so-called pause is meaningless at all, the people of the royal family want to go to the old city, and it will take half a day at the earliest, which is enough for them to buy all the materials on the mainland.

Ning Yuan nodded, and then asked, "Then who will you send?"

The eyes of the four of them focused on Jiang Hanhai, and then they saw that he also nodded, then stood up and said, "I'll go in person, arrange it as soon as possible, and set off in half an hour." ”

Ning Yuan immediately turned around and went out to arrange, he basically wouldn't resist what Jiang Hanhai said, no matter whether it was right or wrong in his opinion.

"Father, I'll just go to this matter, there's no need for you to go in person. ”

Ning Yuan didn't say it, it didn't mean that others wouldn't say it, at this time Jiang Ling spoke, in his opinion, it was too dangerous to let Jiang Hanhai leave the imperial city now.

Since the people in the business world launched this plan at the risk of offending the royal family, it is impossible to say that there is no one behind them, and now that Jiang Hanhai is out, it is very likely that he will be plotted by others!

"The people of the Nine Star Academy don't have the courage to do anything to me outside, you stay in the imperial city and preside over the overall situation for me, with your Uncle Ning following, I will be fine. ”

Jiang Hanhai has now decided that it was the Nine Star Academy that did it, and there are only four people on the entire continent who can support them and oppose the royal family.

The first sect in the mainland, the Lingyun Sect, the highest institution of learning, the Nine Star Academy, the northern tribes independent of the royal family, and the evil alliance whose strength is a mystery.

The people of the evil alliance had only come to the Imperial City a few days ago, if it was them, they could have done it directly to Jiang Hanhai at that time, there was no need to make such a move, it was thankless.

The northern tribes are still weak and do not dare to fight the royal family head-on, and they need the current stable situation on the mainland, so that they can have a chance to develop steadily.

As for the Lingyun Sect, they have nothing to do with the royal family, even if the royal family becomes the master of the continent, it is only in the eyes of the common people, among the cultivators, the Lingyun Sect is still the first in the mainland.

Four options, three are excluded, of course, only the last Nine Star Academy remains, thinking of the previous Nine Star Academy's attack on the Imperial City, isn't it already obvious?

"Not necessarily, the Nine Star Academy offended the Lingyun Sect in the old city, and now it is against our royal family, what are they trying to do?"

Or Jiang Ling is calmer, in his opinion, if it is really the Nine Star Academy that did this, it is tantamount to looking for death, offending the royal family and the Lingyun Sect successively, what is it not looking for death?

"No, the Nine Star Academy should be regarded as two parts, you said that it was the students who offended the Lingyun Sect, and now it is the high-level who offended our Imperial City. ”

Jiang Hanhai has now decided that the Nine Star Academy did it, and in this case, any problem can be solved with a reason.

After all, this has moved the most important thing for the royal family, and anyone will be in a hurry, and Jiang Hanhai is no exception, but this is not the most important thing.

The most important thing is that Jiang Ling was persuaded by Jiang Hanhai, because in his subconscious, he was unwilling to put Guo Chen and them on the opposite side of the royal family.

Now that the Nine Star Academy is already on the opposite side of the royal family, then they definitely can't be in the same camp as the Nine Star Academy, and the students and the high-level are counted separately, even if they are self-deceptive, they are the best choice at present.

"In this way, the Nine Star Academy wants to join forces with the Spirit Cloud Sect to restrict the development of our royal family, and at the same time bring more room for development to itself. ”

If you ignore the things in the old city, this is indeed a good explanation, although the development of the Nine Star Academy, although it is the economic support provided by the royal family, but it is also restricted by the royal family.

There are so many capable people in the Nine Star Academy, they can completely break away from the forces of the mainland and develop their own forces, as long as there is enough time, they can completely surpass the Lingyun Sect and the imperial family.

At that time, the Nine Star Academy can completely become the only force in the history of the Xuling Continent that dominates both ordinary people and cultivators, which is much stronger than the current number one school in the continent.

However, the original purpose of the establishment of the Nine Star Academy was to provide talents for the Imperial Family and the Lingyun Sect, and the Imperial Family and the Lingyun Sect would definitely not agree to the independent development of the Nine Star Academy.

So now it can be understood that the Nine Star Academy is ready to break away from the royal family and the Lingyun Sect, and is beginning to prepare to attack the two forces, and the first target is naturally the royal family that is easier to bully.

Although there are a large number of ordinary people on the continent, in the final analysis, this continent is still the world of cultivators, and there are so many cultivators in the Lingyun Sect, and there are many strong people, so it is naturally relatively powerful.

As for the royal family, it far surpassed the Lingyun Sect in any other aspect, but in terms of the cultivation of spiritual power, there was only one royal family with a heaven-level master, and it was not the opponent of the Lingyun Sect at all.

If you say this, you can say it in the past, but no matter how you look at it, this is not a good time, the Nine Star Academy has just been attacked a few times, and now it is still equivalent to death.

Immediately, Jiang Hanhai was ready to leave the palace, and Jiang Xueyan said that she would go with her, because she knew that it was Guo Chen who was behind the scenes.

Now if you follow Jiang Hanhai to the old city together, it is possible to see Guo Chen again, and it is possible to leave with them, but it is unlikely that Guo Chen and they will agree.

Jiang Hanhai didn't have time to care about her, she just went if she wanted, anyway, the impact wouldn't be too big, seeing that Jiang Xueyan was already going to follow, Ning Zhi originally wanted to follow.

Then he was stopped by Jiang Ling, he had no way to leave the imperial city, he definitely needed someone to protect him, and this candidate, of course, could only be Ning Zhi.

Now in the imperial city, there are only five people who can fully believe it, and three of them are going to the old city, except for Jiangling himself, there is only Ning Zhi, so how can he let him go to the old city together.

It is possible that the purpose of the Nine Star Academy is to let Jiang Hanhai leave the palace so that he has the opportunity to kill him, but this possibility is not very likely, after all, Ning Yuan will always follow him.

Then using reverse thinking, their purpose may be to let Ning Yuan leave the Imperial City, and then they will have the opportunity to attack the Imperial City!

This makes it impossible for Jiangling, who stayed in the imperial city, not to panic, you know, if their purpose is really the imperial city, then it is very likely that there are undercover agents!

They didn't even think about it in the direction of the Nightmare Clan, and now they have decided that the Nine Star Academy did it, after all, no one has found out that the Nightmare Clan has appeared on the continent yet.

Nine Star Academy doesn't count anymore, and no one will listen to them if they say it now, and Nine Star Academy has taken over a bigger pot for the sake of reputation, which is really quite ridiculous.

At the same time, in the forest outside the old city, Guo Chen and the others were already preparing to go to a farther place to observe the situation, after all, they didn't know what the royal family's reaction was now.

Although the plan has been implemented, it is not yet known whether it will succeed, so it is too early to relax, and they need to adapt according to the situation.

On the surface, the royal family should send people to negotiate, but secretly, who knows if the royal family has any arrangements, so they also need to make arrangements in secret.

The Sky Screaming Feather Phoenix took off and took them to the mountain wall near the nearest road from the Imperial City to the Old City, where they planned to observe how many people the Imperial Family had sent.

If the number of people sent by the royal family is too large, it can be determined in advance that they do not really want to negotiate reconciliation, and the people in the old city can be evacuated quickly through runes to avoid unnecessary losses.

There's no way around it, the evil alliance will make trouble if it's in a hurry, let alone the royal family who is the master of the continent, who knows what they will do?

"Prepare, if there are too many people from the royal family, we need to find a way to buy time so that they have more time to evacuate. ”

Most of those merchants have no spiritual power, and the evacuation speed may be much slower, so their location is relatively closer to the imperial city.

After saying this, Guo Chen himself had no intention of continuing to observe, took out the scroll that Jiangling handed him when he left the imperial city, and opened it to see what was written on it.

As a result, I don't know if I don't know it, I was shocked when I saw it, what was recorded on it was the list of items that Jiang Hanhai had created with the blacksmith in Yide City over the years!

Everything else is something inconsequential, and the most important thing is the one written at the very end, the Blood Yang Sword!

In this way, those copycat versions of the Blood Yang Immortal Sword were created by Jiang Hanhai!

But why?

There is no reason, could it be that Jiang Hanhai just wants him to create another Blood Yang Dark Sword that is exactly the same as before, as the treasure of the royal family, his own sword?

How is this possible, the materials used in the Blood Yang Stygian Sword cannot be found in the entire continent at all, and it is impossible to create a sword with the same ability, no matter what, it can only be a fake.

But no matter what the reason is, this thing should be true, because he can explain many problems, such as Jiang Hanhai knowing that they have a copycat version of the Blood Yang Immortal Sword in their hands.

Guo Chen's mind was in chaos again, he had learned too many things during this time, and his current spirit was still a little unbearable, and now he urgently needed to rest, and then he fainted directly.

That scared the other four people a lot, Shen Xuan rushed over as soon as possible to check his physical condition, and Ling Yunhao also opened his spirit pupil to check his mental condition.

Guan Ying was ready to inject spiritual power to treat his internal injuries, and even Wang She was ready to let his consciousness enter his body and treat his external injuries through the red soul state.

"It's okay, he's just too tired, it should be no problem to let him take a good rest, Guan Ying, you go and watch him, let's continue to observe." ”

As soon as Guo Chen fell, the person in charge of command became Ling Yunhao, and he said this after confirming the reason.

Guan Ying nodded and came to Guo Chen's side to prevent him from being captured by spirit beasts or others, while the other three continued to keep an eye on the royal army.
