In the main hall of the Yanguo Mansion, the atmosphere is particularly solemn at this moment. It wasn't because of Yan Meng's message—he was still on the road at the moment—but because he received a secret message: Youyue, the former envoy of the King of Thousand Flames, was about to come by order.

The Sacred Continent is divided by "domains", and there are currently nine domains, each of which is vast and has countless countries. And "country" is divided into four categories: county, country, kingdom, and empire

The territory is 10 million miles in circumference, and it is a county. The supreme commander of the country is called "county king", and the highest can be canonized as a first-class duke;

A territory of 100 million miles is a country. The supreme ruler of the country is called "king", and can be canonized as a first-class king.

A billion miles of territory is the kingdom, and the supreme ruler of the country is called "emperor".

The territory is tens of billions of miles is the empire, and the supreme ruler of the country is called the "emperor".

Of course, due to the vast territory of the Holy Continent. In addition, there are rumors that the current Long Shitian has retreated and begun to impact the higher realms, and he no longer manages the affairs of the empire. So in those places far from the Central Empire, another kind of power organization gradually emerged, the "Alliance".

The so-called "alliance" is often composed of an empire, or in some more remote areas, a group of states and counties with a kingdom as the leader. The strength of these alliances is actually uneven, but the scale and strength of some alliances are extremely terrifying.

Of course, due to the terrifying power of Long Shitian, these alliances did not dare to think anything wrong about the Central Empire. After all, rumors are rumors after all, and if Long Shitian hadn't retreated, his own strength would be enough to destroy an alliance in an instant.

In terms of the rank of officials and lords canonized by the central government, there are three classes: marquis, duke, and prince. Each title also has three progressions. One of the first-class princes is the ultimate official title, and its rank is equivalent to that of the county king.

However, unlike the county king, the first-class prince only has a fief of his own, and his area and subjects are far from comparable to the county king. At the same time, the power of the first-class prince is also very limited, whether it is the right to serve as a soldier or the right to canonize.

Therefore, those first-class princes who are not satisfied with the status quo need to obtain it by expanding their territory if they want to become county kings.

Although the territory of the Sacred Continent is vast. But 5,000 years ago, many places were still in the wilderness. And what Long Haotian was determined to unify back then was only the current Sacred Domain Continent.

After Long Shitian ascended the throne, the Central Continent was unified and renamed the "Holy Domain", and then continued to expand the territory and establish a canonization system, so that the territory of the human race was greatly expanded. Of course, although there are now nine domains, there are still more vast areas in the Sacred Continent that have not yet been explored.

For first-class princes, if they can carve out a territory that meets the criteria of a county and have considerable merit, the Central Empire will personally canonize them as county kings. In order to be promoted to king, the king needs to be obtained with the same territory and merits, and the same is true after that.

This is how the Thousand Flames Kingdom was born.

Its first generation of county kings was originally a first-class prince, and the most powerful henchman under his command was the ancestor of the Yan family. This is also why in today's Thousand Flame Counties, the Yan clan has incomparable authority.

This Dragon Bird City was originally the capital of the Thousand Flames County, but with the expansion of the territory of the county, the current capital of the county is located five thousand miles west of the Dragon Bird City. And Dragon Bird City was made the capital of Wei, and after the Yan clan was knighted, it became their fief.

Hundreds of years of operation have made Dragon Bird City have a very deep popular base, which is incomparable to the fiefdoms of the three newly canonized marquises: the Marquis of Qingling, the Marquis of Lieyun, and the Marquis of Youhuang. Because their respective cities were newly built after they were canonized, many supporting facilities, and even large organizations, sects, and sects had not yet been stationed.

Fifty years ago, the older generation of the King of Thousand Flames passed away, and the Yan family became a trusted minister, and for a while, it was even more powerful and invincible.

However, as the so-called 30 years in the east of the river and 30 years in the west of the river, feng shui takes turns.

A sect can rely on the world's elite and prosper, but it is extremely difficult for a family to ensure that each generation of descendants inherits the powerful bloodline of their ancestors.

In the past 20 years, the talents of the Yan family have gradually withered. At the same time, with the growth of the new county king, the Yan family's voice in the court and the opposition has been weakened more and more, and at the same time, they are also experiencing internal and external troubles, and their status is in jeopardy.

The so-called internal worries are the gradual rise of the wealthy families in Longque City, especially the Cheng family. There are still four or five geniuses around the age of sixteen, excluding Cheng Feng and Cheng Yun. At the same time, there is a Cheng Xuan that the Cheng family has always been proud of.

Although the Cheng family is now subject to the Yan family's title, everyone can see that the Cheng family is gradually disobedient.

As for external troubles, it refers to the strong rise of the three major families of Qinglinghou Qingmo, Lieyun Hou Qiangfeng, and Youhuang Hou Youchen.

The three great families received the favor of the King of Thousand Flames and were given knighthoods, completely relying on their talent reserves. And the envoy Youyue, who is coming this time, is a legendary figure.

This gentleman is the fifth son of Youhuang Hou Youchen, and he is also the first beautiful man in the Thousand Flames County ten years ago. And behind that beautiful face, there is a terrifying strength.

Ten years ago, in the Thousand Flame County, the talent of the seventeen-year-old Youyue ranked third, second only to Lie Zhentian, the eldest son of the Nineteen-year-old Lieyun Marquis, and Cheng Xuan, who was sixteen years old when he ranked second.

And that year's Heroes Club was almost the stage of Lie Zhentian, Cheng Xuan and Youyue.

However, in the final ranking battle, Cheng Xuan was unfortunately injured in the competition with Lie Zhentian, so he finally fell to third. And Youyue and Lie Zhentian fought for 300 rounds, and in the end they only lost half a move because of their lack of physical strength, and they missed the championship.

The competition of the Hero Club is divided into several rounds, and the first few rounds are purely to assess the Force and the realm, and there is basically no mortality rate, but from the round of killing the brute beast in the deep mountains, the mortality rate has skyrocketed. Because there, the contestants not only have to face powerful beasts, but also have to guard against sneak attacks from competitors.

It can be said that those who can finally stand out and stand in the last round of one-on-one competition are the strongest!

But even these powerhouses, except for Lie Zhentian, almost no one could walk through three moves in front of Youyue! Many of them were almost killed with one move. This shows the power of the dark moon.

And it was also at that conference that the twenty-year-old Yan Meng almost died in the hands of Lie Zhentian in the preliminary round, and he lost the opportunity to advance and enter a higher education institution, and he has been in a slump since then.

As for Youyue, although he only won the runner-up in the end, the King of Thousand Flames was very fond of this handsome young man. Youhuang Hou took the opportunity to speak and took the initiative to let Youyue stay with the King of Thousand Flames.

This is a very clever move.

In order to contain the wealthy family under his command, this generation of Qianyan County King once proposed that the Yan family send protons to the royal capital. However, because the Yan family has always been strong in the Thousand Flames County and is unwilling to send protons under the edict, this young county king has always been quite jealous of them.

At this time, the Marquis of Youhuang took the initiative to send a beautiful man to the county king, and their status in the heart of the Thousand Flames county king was immediately greatly improved.

Youyue entered the palace and soon became a big celebrity in front of the king of Thousand Flames. He used his beauty and talent to be like a fish in water by the side of the King of Thousand Flames, and he was deeply favored. At the same time, under the operation of the Thousand Flames County King, Youyue was able to go to the Martial God Temple to further his studies, and with his extraordinary talent, his cultivation did not fall behind at all.

And the Marquis of Youhuang has also received countless rewards and valuable resources in private. It was even rumored that the King of Thousand Flames had reduced their tribute.

In fact, Yan Xiong had long expected that he had obtained the Yan Dragon Sparrow Star Seed, and the Phantom Phoenix Hou would definitely make a move.

In the past ten years, Qinglinghou and Lieyunhou have frequently reported that they have obtained high-level star seeds and have excellent sons born. But only the side of the Marquis of Youhuang was very peaceful, and he had never even heard of the birth of an outstanding son. On the contrary, it is the younger sisters of Yuyue who have grown up.

At first, everyone thought that the Marquis of Youhuang must be short-lived, but just a year ago, a piece of news suddenly shook the royal capital: the king of Qianyan County recognized the three daughters of the Marquis of Youhuang as righteous daughters and regarded them as his own.

At first, the news didn't attract much attention. But immediately, just over a month after the Qingling Marquis obtained a seventh-order mid-grade green phosphorus demon butterfly star seed, the King of Thousand Flames County immediately sent Youyue as an envoy to Guangming City, and at the same time issued an imperial decree:

Let Qinglinghou have a son and marry Youyao, the eldest daughter of Youhuang Hou, and this son must be married and go to the night city.

When the news came, the whole country was shocked. Yan Xiong could hardly believe that this was true, he couldn't believe that Youyue had such a ability to reach the sky, and he would say that the King of Thousand Flames would do such a ridiculous thing.

And it is said that the one who was sent away was Qingyun Song, the ninth son of the Qingling Marquis, the leader of the younger generation, a genius who reached the ninth level of the Qingtian Realm at the age of more than eleven.

But a shock wasn't enough to show the Moon's means.

Half a year later, the news that the Marquis of Lieyun had obtained the seventh-order mid-grade Fire Cloud Crane Star Seed came, and just over a month later, the King of Thousand Flames County once again sent Youyue as an envoy to Tianlie City, and at the same time issued an imperial decree again:

Ordered Lieyun Hou to have a son and marry Youyan, the second daughter of Youhuang Hou, and this son must be married and go to the night city.

As a result, the one who was sent away was Lie Kongming, the tenth son of Lieyun Hou, who was also a young generation of junjie, and his talent was not inferior to that of his eldest brother Lie Zhentian.

And now, it's finally Yanxiong's turn. Everyone understands that Youyue has only one goal, the pride of the Yan family-Yan Huang.
