Jingzhao Road, Jingshi, Imperial Palace.

In the eyes of the monks, the whole imperial city is shrouded in a golden and purple atmosphere, bright and solemn, so that all evil demons and monsters dare not cross the thunder pond half a step.

Since ancient times, Jingshi has become the national capital, and although the dynasty has changed, Jingshi has remained unchanged as the national capital.

The royal court has been one of the strongest forces on the Kyushu continent since ancient times.

In the primeval era, although it was said that the saints came into the world and produced many great powers, the primeval royal court established by the three emperors and five emperors was still the top four powerful forces at that time, only the three Qingjiao led by the three Qingdao people, the Wu clan headed by the twelve witch ancestors, and the demon clan headed by Kong Xuan, the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, the four holy beasts, Kunpeng and other big demons can compete.

In ancient times, after the battle of the primeval ruin, the saints were all lost, the immortals were separated, and the great powers above the golden immortals flew together to ascend to the immortal realm.

As a result, the ancient royal court founded by Emperor Yu reached its peak, and its power even surpassed that of the ancient royal court, and truly reached the "whole world, it is not the king's land; ”

But the prosperity and decline is one of the ways of heaven, the ancient royal court began to decline from prosperity after the Xia, Shang, and Wednesday dynasties, and the control of the land of Kyushu gradually declined, especially during the period of a hundred schools of thought, peerless figures emerged in large numbers, and the ancient royal court no longer had the power of control in the early stage.

After Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries and established the medieval royal court, it was considered to reproduce the glory of the ancient royal court, but at this time, the various major sects and the Quartet Demon Sect began to be established one after another.

And in the ancient era, the royal court was completely declined, and the current royal court's strength was almost the same as that of the four righteous sects and the Quartet Demon Sect, which was on par with the Western Demon Sect, and completely lost control of the Quartet Demon Sect.

Although 70,000 years ago, by cooperating with the major sects, the Quartet Demon Sect was expelled to the Four Desolations, but at this time, the royal court was only the nominal co-lord of Kyushu, and there was no deterrent at all for the top factions such as Emei, Kunlun, Qingcheng, Jialan, Lingyin, Wutai, Kongtong, Tianlong, and Dragon Tiger.

Therefore, since ancient times, although there have been changes of dynasties, the lifelong ideal of every emperor is to reproduce the glory of the ancient royal court, because the ancient royal court was the heyday of royal power, even the ancient royal court and the medieval royal court are not as good as it.

The same is true of Emperor Yuanchang when the dynasty is the same, but since the beginning of the previous dynasty, there are signs of the imperial power falling, and in the hands of Emperor Yuanchang, although the emperor still has a certain authority, but the court has been divided into three forces.

One of the factions is naturally the imperial power faction headed by Emperor Yuanchang, Emperor Yuanchang himself is a master of the earth immortals, holding the Chixiao Sword, which ranks third among the top ten famous swords, and his strength is comparable to that of the master of the heavenly immortals.

Chixiao Sword is the beloved flying sword of Gaozu of the Middle Han Dynasty, ranking third of the top ten famous swords, and the second-grade flying sword, the power is almost the same as the combination of purple and green swords.

And as a royal weapon, as long as he is an emperor, he can use it, and it is only with Emperor Yuanchang that he can compete with the heavenly immortals with the posture of the earth immortals, and the five or six grandmasters of the idle heavenly immortals are not his opponents.

In addition, there are many immortal-level masters among the imperial relatives and eunuchs who belong to the imperial power faction, so even if Emperor Yuanchang is not as good as those emperors in the early ancient times, he still has a lot of strength.

The other faction is the pro-wilderness faction headed by the current dynasty Taifu, Taibao, and Zhenguo generals, these three people are all masters of the immortals, and the pro-wilderness faction led by the three of them is almost power-leaning towards the government and the opposition. This "pro-famine" is actually "pro-demon", and these three advocate cooperating with the Quartet Demon Sect to reshape the order of Kyushu.

The remaining faction is the pro-Taoist faction led by the imperial master and the privy envoy, who believe that even if they want to reproduce the glory of the ancient royal court, they cannot cooperate with the Demon Sect, which is tantamount to seeking the skin of the tiger. Therefore, it is inseparable from the pro-famine, although it is now suppressed by the pro-famine, but the Taishi and the privy envoy are all masters of the immortals, and the pro-Taoist faction has a lot of waiting support, so it is just relatively weak.

Of these three major forces, the pro-famine-style faction is the strongest, followed by the pro-Taoist faction, and the weakest is the imperial power faction. However, because the emperor is in charge of the righteousness and the name, the intention of Emperor Yuanchang is also extremely important. At least, the Taifu, the Taishi, the Taibao, the Zhenguo generals and the privy envoys did not dare to go against Emperor Yuanchang's intentions.

At this time, in a side hall of the splendid palace, a middle-aged man wearing a golden dragon robe was sitting, unpredictable. There is only one person in the world who can wear a dragon robe, and there is no need to think about it, this person is the Emperor Yuanchang of the Dynasty.

On the opposite side of Emperor Yuanchang, four people stood upright, and they were the imperial princes, masters, protectors and privy envoys.

Emperor Yuanchang's voice could not hear a trace of fluctuation: "The imperial court has become more and more unattractive in recent years, and only one or two of the top ten in the Daozang Hall are willing to join the court, hum ......" There was even a slight sneer after the most luke.

One of the four people standing said: "Your Majesty, these big sects don't take the court seriously, if it weren't for the secret cāo of these big factions, where would there be only so many people who are interested in serving the court?

Hearing this, Emperor Yuanchang was noncommittal, and another person on the side said: "Compared with those big sects, the Quartet Demon Sect is the big trouble, and those big sects still have some regulations, and the people in the Demon Sect are completely careless, so, the emperor, the top priority is to curb the power of the Quartet Demon Sect." ”

As soon as this person spoke, the other person immediately chimed in: "Yes, Your Majesty, if you don't curb the development of the Quartet Demon Sect, it is inevitable that the events of three thousand years ago will be repeated!"

As soon as these words came out, the remaining person who did not speak immediately retorted: "Although the person three thousand years ago was the heinous devil, it is undeniable that that person is also a genius, this kind of person is rare in a lifetime, how can it be possible to appear again?"

Emperor Yuanchang saw that these two factions began to fight each other again, and he couldn't help but have a headache, and said: "Okay, the top priority is how to recruit more talents this time? For example, this Xiao Chen can actually build a foundation in the Daozang Hall, if it can be used by my court, then he will be the pillar of a country." ”

As soon as these words came out, the four people on the opposite side were silent.

After a while, the first person to speak: "Your Majesty, if this is not the case, let's make it convenient for the people of the Western Demon Sect, and loot that Xiao Chen under the pretense of the hands of the people of the Western Demon Sect, let's send someone to save him, with this life-saving grace, I think Kunlun will no longer be able to take him into the door, and then we will cultivate it well, so as not to worry that he is not loyal to the imperial court." ”

Emperor Yuanchang fell into a deep groan when he heard this, although what Taifu said was only a draft and had many loopholes, but it was still feasible when he thought about it carefully.

At this time, the Taishi objected: "No, there are too many loopholes in this method, Kunlun has long been separated from us, if there is such a section again, I am afraid that from now on, Kunlun will not even have respect for my court." ”

Hearing this, Taibao snorted coldly: "Is there such a section, is there still a difference between Kunlun and my court?

Taishi was stunned when he heard this, and it was not good to say anything more in front of Emperor Yuanchang. In his heart, he secretly said: Even the ancient royal court could not destroy Kunlun, how could it succeed in the case of the decline of the ancient royal power?

Although Emperor Yuanchang was a little surprised that the Taishi and the privy envoy had compromised so quickly this time, thinking of the increasingly arrogant behavior of the big factions such as Kunlun and Emei in recent years, he felt that although Taifu and the others were at odds, they were at least the same as their own goals, all of them wanted to reproduce the glory of the ancient royal court, and their hearts couldn't help but surge.

Taifu and Taibao carefully discussed the specific regulations, and then they left the palace.

At this time, hundreds of people gathered in the largest hall of the Daozang Hall.

Two of them were in their thirties, and the other looked nearly forty. The former is dressed in white, painted with plums, and looks very sharp. The latter wears a green shirt, and the wide cuffs are embroidered with ink sè mountain patterns, and his expression is solemn.

The young man in white said: "This Xiao Chen's talent is outstanding, and Lei Fa is outstanding, so he should worship under my Kunlun sect." ”

The middle-aged man in the green shirt did not show weakness: "You Kunlun is powerful, but you can't bring the person with the best qualifications into the door every time?"

In my heart, I was thinking: In previous years, the gap between the top ten is not big, even if it is ranked first, it does not mean that it will be the highest achievement in the future, but this time it is different, the root bone is the first in the millennium, and it is the only person who has built the foundation in the Daozang Hall in the past 10,000 years.

The young man in white smiled when he heard this: "When has my Kunlun ever been so domineering?

The two of them from Kunlun and Kongtong fought fiercely, just to bring Xiao Chen under their door, and for Xiao Chen, they didn't even care about the self-esteem of the big monks.

The others watched the two of them face each other, but they didn't speak, on the one hand, the two of them were powerful, and they helped one party and offended the other. On the other hand, these two sects have been holding the top ten disciples for countless years, and it is impossible for other sects to say that there is no resentment at all, so a large part of these people are watching the excitement with a cold eye.

Only a middle-aged man in court clothes said: "Why do the two of you make such a fuss, it's better to sit down and have a good discussion." ”

This is from the imperial court, although the two of them do not have to be afraid of the imperial court, but for this nominal co-lord of Kyushu, respect on the surface is still necessary.

So as soon as he spoke, the two stopped talking, and both sat down with a cold snort.
