Chapter 9: The Feast

"Come, Foreign Envoy Bai will taste more of my Xianlai's melon and fruit specialties," the king of Xianlai, the upper member of the palace, raised his glass and said to Bai Yu.

Bai Yu raised his glass in return, "That's nature", and all the ministers in the palace were in a grand scene. Yin Yue opposite Bai Yu was sullen.

Suddenly, an old man with a white beard stood up and glanced at Bai Yu, "Report to the king, although the Great Zhou is friendly with our country, but the Great Zhou is strong and ambitious, it must be not small, maybe this white foreign envoy was sent to inquire about my Xianlai, please check the king."

"Hey, Prime Minister Qi said this is a mistake, I know Brother Bai, how can it be a small one?" Yin Yan defended Bai Yu.

The man named Kuo Qi said to Yinji, "His Royal Highness Prince Yinqi is still young, don't be used by some people."

Suddenly, everyone in the hall stopped moving, Bai Yu stood up calmly, and bowed to King Xianlai, "My Great Zhou is strong, but I have never thought of starting a war, and the barbarians have invaded my Great Zhou, but we have never been wiped out."

"Heh, I'm afraid it's just that I can't attack it for a long time," Ku Qi sneered, "I can't attack it for a long time?" Does the prime minister think that my Great Zhou only has such a little strength? If you think that my Great Zhou's million iron cavalry is enough to level the surrounding countries, but we are only friendly to the surrounding countries, but I didn't expect you to be so suspicious, if so, Bai will say goodbye," Bai Yu said.

The two sides also wanted to argue about King Xianlai's pressing hand, "Okay, I also believe in Foreign Envoy Bai, and I believe in Da Zhou even more, don't talk about these unpleasant things anymore."

"Yes," he said, returning to his seat, but his eyes were still looking at Bai Yu.

Bai Yu looked at each other fearlessly, "King Qiyu, Weichen has something to do" Another person stood up and said, "Quasi" King Xianlai raised his hand, "There is a secret realm at the junction of my Xianlai Kingdom and Dao Fall Country."

"Why don't you report such an important matter early!" King Xianlai reprimanded, and the man immediately knelt on the ground, "Wechen knows his mistake, Wechen only arrived in the main city yesterday, and it is already night, and Wechen doesn't dare to disturb the king's rest" The man had a cold sweat on his forehead.

"Well, that's it," said King Senrai impatiently, "yes," the man straightened up and continued, "and the people of the Dao Fall Kingdom said that in order to maintain justice, the two countries could enter five people separately."

"Five" King Xianlai pondered, "Then Pang Torch, Yinyan, Feng Yuan, Ke Ye, and the five people will go."

"Qiqi's father, Wang Erchen, also have something to play," Yinyan stood up and said, "Speak", "Please also ask my father to give Brother Bai a place, Brother Bai is highly skilled, if he goes, we will have an extra guarantee, and please ask my father to be fulfilled."

"The king can't," the prime minister stood up again, "Now the identity of the white envoy is unknown, besides, how can my Xianlai's property allow him to participate in Da Zhou."

King Xianlai was about to speak, Yin Yue stood up and winked, "Father, I want to go too", "No, you can't go because it's dangerous", "Then can't you just let the white envoy go?

"Alas, I'm really afraid of you, but you must pay attention" King Xianlai compromised, "Got it" Yinyue smiled and said, "Don't worry, father, with me, Pang Ju, Feng Yuan, Brother Bai is no problem" Yinyue patted his chest.

"The king, this.." Kui Qi wanted to say something, but was interrupted by King Xianlai, "Prime Minister, this king knows that you are dedicated to the country, but he Da Zhou expressed his intentions, how can we chill them?"

"Alas. It was "Kuo Qi who was not angry" The old minister was in poor health, and he hoped that the king would allow the old minister to retreat", "Quasi" King Xianlai looked at him, "Thank you to the king".

Bai Yu looked at this scene, "This is really a virtuous minister who governs the country, but it is easy to break if it is too strong", Bai Yu looked up and saw Yin Yue on the opposite side raising his fist and glaring, Bai Yu smiled bitterly.

In the middle of the night, Bai Yu went out of the door, looking at the sky, "I wonder why I can't go to that place" He slept today, but he didn't go to that place.

"Brother Bai hasn't slept yet" Behind him, Yin Yan walked over, "I'm going to the ruins tomorrow, don't drop the chain", Bai Yu turned his head, "Don't worry."

"Do you have something on your mind?" Yin Yan asked, Bai Yu jumped directly to the big tree in front of him without saying a word, the branches and leaves of the big tree were like a canopy, and the branches were as thick as a person.

The Xuan Realm is to open the entrance of the body, and the aura covering the body is comparable to an armor.

Bai Yu looked into the distance with a melancholy look in his eyes, "I haven't been able to cultivate since I was a child, and I have suffered from white eyes, although they don't dare to show it, but secretly they despise it, I have seen all this."

"If you can't cultivate, don't be funny" suddenly stunned, "You really don't have cultivation at all, I thought Brother Bai, you are specialized in physical training, and you are even more like a torch."

"He can use the aura of heaven and earth to restore his body, but I am completely on my own recovery" Bai Yu said, Yin Yan was silent, "But I'm used to this" Bai Yu turned his head and smiled.

"Sometimes I envy you, the family and country are harmonious," Bai Yu said, "Brother Bai, you are not bad, you became the foreign envoy of the Great Zhou at such a young age, much stronger than me, and you can't achieve anything in a day" Yin Yan said.

Bai Yu shook his head and smiled, "Is the Great Zhou Foreign Envoy?", "Oh, is there something wrong?"

"It's okay, I just want to see Da Zhou getting stronger and stronger, and no one will come to attack, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment, but I hope that my parents and relatives will be safe for a lifetime" Bai Yu clenched his fists.

Yin Yan held his head in his hands, "There is no absolute peace in this world, where there are people, there will be fighting, where there is fighting, there will be interests, and then there will be interests that evolve into ambitions, and finally there will be war."

"That's right," Bai Yu agreed, "but Brother Bai, have you ever heard of the legend of the Soul Country?" said Yin Yan mysteriously.

"Soul Country?" Bai Yu was puzzled, "What do you say?"

"According to legend, there was a soul country in the primeval era, the soul country was strong, the ministers of the court and the central government can be said to be all gods, and its lord is even equal to the way of heaven, known as the Holy Soul Emperor, and he was the strongest person who suppressed the first generation at that time, but he had no ambition, and he did not rely on his strength to invade other countries, so many people respected him very much" Yin Yan said, "There are not many such strong people," Bai Yu exclaimed, "What about later?".

"A Heavenly Demon Sect that appeared later provoked a continental war, and its leader was also a strong man on an equal footing with the Heavenly Dao, and the Holy Soul Emperor fought for nine days and nine nights in order to protect all living beings, but he was still severely injured by the Heavenly Demon Sect Master, and the people of his country blessed the Holy Soul Emperor with their own souls, and the Holy Soul Emperor directly reached the power above the Heavenly Dao" Silver Soul Paused and continued.

"Directly hit the Heavenly Demon Sect Master, but the Heavenly Demon Sect Master must be said to be a hero, decisively self-detonated, and suddenly the heavens and the earth were devastated, and most of the countries themselves were annihilated, and the people of the Soul Country were almost all scattered because of the soul blessing of the Holy Soul Emperor, and the Holy Soul Emperor was heartbroken, in order not to harm the common people, he used the forbidden technique to seal all the energy of the Heavenly Demon Sect Master's self-explosion in the Soul Kingdom, and he also disappeared with the Soul Kingdom, so he was wiped out in the long river of history."

"The lord of the country who can have such a mind can be said to be the first emperor of eternity," Bai Yu sighed.

"And that's not all," said Yinyan, "Oh, what do you say?" Bai Yu wondered.

"It is said that as long as there is luck in the weather, or there is merit in governing the world and great merit to the common people, you can enter the soul country, and get the original power, that is, the power of the Heavenly Demon Sect Master and the Holy Soul Emperor, if you get this kind of power, why worry about the injustice of the world, why worry about the health of the family and the country, and the peace of the sea, but these are all legends, the soul country, the Holy Soul Emperor does not exist and there is no way to investigate, the ancient times are too far away from us, maybe they are made up by later generations, these are all seen in a book of anecdotes" Yin Yan said regretfully.

"I'm very interested in this Strange Story, I don't know if you can let me take a look," Bai Yu said, "Well, you may be disappointed with this, I accidentally lost it," Yin Yan said.

Bai Yu was speechless, "If these legends really exist, I'm afraid few people can reach them, and if the weather is lucky, the merit of ruling the world is basically impossible for anyone to reach," Yin Yan said.

"Okay, Brother Bai, it's not too early to rest early, and I'm going to the ruins tomorrow" Yin Yan patted Bai Yu's shoulder, and then jumped down and left.

"Holy Soul Emperor," Bai Yu muttered, his eyes looking into the distance.....
