Chapter 581: An Unbalanced Empire
Although I don't have any feelings for the Qingyan Empire, seeing that Ke'er is so sincere, I still decided to go and see it first. After all, our Black Iron City is a small city in the Qingyan Empire, and if something really happens to the Qingyan Empire and endangers the Black Iron City, I also need to take action to stop it.
As soon as Ke'er saw my statement, he excitedly led me to the Imperial City, and as soon as I arrived at the gate of the Imperial City, there were twice as many guards here as before.
This is something I didn't expect, and I guess they will only tell me when I get inside.
Ke'er took me all the way to the inner hall, Qingyangyun was inside with a sad face, and when he saw me coming, he hurriedly beckoned me to hurry over.
"What's wrong?" I walked up to Qingyang Yun and asked.
"Do you know who sent that group of people just now?" Qingyangyun asked.
"Enemy nation?" I replied.
"Hmmm! It's the Flame Empire next to it! They sent killers! Qingyangyun replied.
"I don't understand, why would they do it? You're obviously at the scene, aren't they just looking for death? If I were them, I wouldn't have picked on you when you're there! I asked.
"Because they're trying to hide the truth!" Qingyangyun said.
"The truth? What truth? I asked.
"Bai Chen, who was defeated by you, their Bai family secretly colluded with the Fire Flame Empire, and now we are in a very embarrassing situation. If this matter cannot be resolved, I am afraid that it will cause a big war between the two empires, so I need your help! Qingyangyun said very sincerely.
"The Bai family wants to commit treason? Just because you didn't win the championship? "I can't believe it's a very bad sign.
"It shouldn't be because of the champion, they should have been planning for a long time, but because of this Source Qi Conference, their conspiracy was exposed!" Qingyangyun replied.
"What are you going to do?" I asked.
"If I rashly make a move against the Bai family, it will cause the balance of the Qingyan Empire to be broken in an instant, so this is not the result I want to see!" Qingyangyun explained.
"Balance? What balance? My brows furrowed slightly, the reason why Qing Yangyun was so worried should have a lot to do with this balance.
Qingyangyun glanced at Ke'er, and Ke'er exited the hall very interestingly, leaving only me and Qingyangyun here.
It wasn't until only the two of us were left here that Qingyang Yun opened his mouth to explain: "The Qingyan Empire has been able to prosper peacefully for many years, completely because of mutual balance, and no one dares to step on this line. ”
"In fact, there are three major forces in our Qingyan Empire, the first is our royal family, as the ruler of the empire, there is no doubt about it. But our royal family does not represent the strongest force in the Qingyan Empire, in fact, there are two forces that can compete with us, in fact, you have already guessed, one of them is the Bai family! ”
"The Bai family?" I was surprised, I didn't expect the Bai family to be so big.
"The Bai family is not as simple as you think, they are actually just splitting up, and this sect is not in our Qingyan Empire! They are very powerful, especially Bai Dou, the head of the Bai family, who is a six-rank source Dan master! Qingyangyun explained.
"Sixth Rank Source Danshi? As a Nine-Rank Source Dan Master, according to your current strength, you should be able to count as the strength of the Nine Rank Peak Source Dan Master. Bai Dou, as a Six-Rank Source Dan Master, should not be as strong as you, what do you have to be afraid of? Is it because of the sect behind him? I asked.
"That's right! I don't know where the main sect behind him is, although I sent someone to investigate, but there are no clues. But one thing is certain, that is, this sect is very powerful, maybe it has a strong person in the Creation Realm! It is precisely because of this problem that I dare not do anything to the Bai family, of course, this is not the whole reason! Because there is another force, I have to be on guard, otherwise it will only let him reap the benefits of the fisherman! ”
"The Earth Demon Sect?" I asked.
"That's right! It's the existence of the Earth Demon Sect that makes me have to prevent it, you must know that the Earth Demon Sect has three Yuan Dan masters. Although their strength is not as strong as mine, you should know very well that there are many elders under him. If the Earth Demon Sect and our royal family go to war, even if I can destroy the Earth Demon Sect, our royal family will definitely suffer heavy casualties! So for so many years, our royal family, the Bai family, and the Disha Sect have never provoked a war! But now it's different, with the Bai family and the Huoyan Empire secretly colluding, such a balance is in jeopardy! Qingyangyun replied.
"Are you worried that if the Bai family upsets the balance and becomes an enemy of your royal family at that time, because there is the Fire Flame Empire by your side. The Earth Demon Sect will not participate in this matter, and your royal family will be in danger at that time, and it is likely to be replaced by the Bai family, right? "I'm not stupid, I quickly understood.
The assassination at this banquet, knowing that it was a failed assassination, why did they launch it?
This is a signal, a signal from the Fire Flame Empire and the Bai family to the royal family that they have united. If there is really a war, the Qingyan Empire will be attacked on its back, which is also something that Qingyang Yun is worried about.
There is another signal in this assassination, that is, to test the Earth Demon Sect, because the Earth Demon Sect is an uncertain signal.
If the Earth Demon Sect joins in, or even unites with the royal family to fight against the Fire Flame Empire and the Bai family, then this will not be a good thing for the Bai family.
"If you want to maintain balance, you have to do it!" Qingyangyun looked at me and said.
"You want me to win over the Earth Demon Sect? If you have this kind of plan, you should go by yourself, and if I go to win over the Earth Demon Sect, it is obviously unrealistic! I replied.
"Nope! I'm not asking you to win over the Earth Demon Sect, I'm asking you to help me destroy the Bai family, with your strength, you should be able to do it, right? Qingyangyun is very serious, not like a joke.
I was dumbfounded, he actually wanted me to deal with the Bai family?
I had a lot of trouble just dealing with Bai Chen, and now let me deal with the entire Bai family, this is simply sending me to death!
"No! I refuse! I didn't even think about it, and immediately rejected Qingyangyun.
"I know this is a very excessive request, but this is the only way, rather than to win over the uncertainties of the Earth Demon Sect. The plan to destroy the Bai family is obviously safer, and I won't put the royal family in danger! Qingyangyun replied.
"You know it's too much for me to go? I'm just a second-grade Heavenly Source Master, and a Sixth-Rank Spiritual Source Master alone almost cost me my life. Now you're asking me to deal with the Six Rank Source Dan Master? Do you think too highly of me? I'm not a genius, and I don't want to die! I turned and walked away.
Qingyang Yun saw that I was leaving, and immediately came to my side, with the strength of his Nine Rank Source Dan Master, I couldn't escape from his palm at all. After he stopped me, he immediately said, "You can think about it, I know that you are not an ordinary person, you can defeat the Spirit Source Master with the strength of the Heavenly Source Master, this is enough to prove your strength." If the Fire Flame Empire and the Bai family want to deal with our royal family, they should not provoke disputes in a short period of time, and you can think about it during this time! ”
"No need! I'm not going to die, I want to live a few more years! "I didn't say much, just keep going, I don't want to be involved in this war.
If the war really starts in the end, then I will do my best to protect my family, instead of going to the Bai family to die!
