As soon as the news of the martial arts competition trials was released, it attracted nationwide attention. Countless young talents and heroes enthusiastically signed up to participate, all wanting to contribute to the country and demonstrate the power of the Yuanling Empire.
Suddenly, masters from all over the world flocked to Yuancheng, making this first city in the world even more lively and attracting everyone's attention.
The imperial court set strict conditions and high thresholds for the selection competition. If you don't reach the imperial realm, you are not even qualified to register.
You must know that a strong person in the Imperial Realm, looking at the entire Yuanling Continent, is at the upper level of the pyramid and can be the overlord of one party.
Even though the threshold is so high, there were as many as a hundred contestants before the registration deadline.
This is still a situation where many big forces are waiting and watching.
The Yuanling Empire is so powerful and has such a deep foundation that its ability to become the overlord of the Yuanling Continent is by no means a waste of time.
The martial arts tournament was the first major diplomatic event that Prince Ji Tianming had presided over since he took charge of the country. He was always keeping a close eye on the process of the selection competition. He was very happy when he learned that hundreds of imperial-level experts had enthusiastically signed up.
However, the bad news is that out of the eight most powerful forces in the Yuanling Empire, including Yunlu Academy, the three sects, and the four major families, only Yunlu Academy, Danmeng, and the Zhang family actively responded to this event. In the martial arts conference, masters from the ninth level of the Imperial Realm were sent to participate, while the other forces just randomly sent out an Imperial Realm strongman to do a perfunctory job.
Yunlu Academy is the highest academy in the imperial court. Naturally, it is not sending the strongest players for the sake of the prince, but out of its own responsibilities.
The Zhang family is the Queen's mother clan and the Crown Prince's backer. Naturally, there is nothing to say about the Zhang family's active response to the martial arts competition at this time.
Dan League sent the strongest player because of Qingyuan Princess Ji Tianqing.
In other words, among the eight major forces, the only ones who really take him, the Prince of the Supervisory Country, seriously are the Zhang family and the Dan Alliance. Jianmeng, Kaitian Sect and the other three major families did not pay any attention to him, the prince of the country.
If you don't actively respond to the recruitment of the martial arts tournament at this time, the subtext is that you won't give face to the prince.
Beneath the surface of popular support, there are actually huge conflicts of interests and popular opposition.
This made Ji Tianming very angry.
The eight major forces are the eight mountains of the Yuanling Empire. Without controlling these eight mountains, the future throne will not be secure.
"I personally sent people to serve as lobbyists for Jianmeng, Kaitian Sect and the three major families. They actually didn't give me face. It's simply unreasonable!"
After the martial arts conference was confirmed, Ji Tianming sent envoys to the major forces to make preparations. He thought they would receive a response, but he did not expect this result.
"When he ascends the throne in Japan, he will deal with you one by one!"
The prince's face was ferocious and furious.
Several major forces, in front of the whole world, were beating him in the face like crazy. How could he bear it?
"If you can't keep your composure over such a trivial matter, how will you be able to control this billion-dollar country in the future?"
An angry scolding sounded.
A graceful, majestic middle-aged woman walked in.
She was wearing a yellow phoenix robe and a golden crown, looking extremely luxurious and noble.
It is the current queen, Zhang Yuning, the biological mother of the prince, and the current auxiliary queen, who has all the power in the government and the public.
"Mother, the Jianmeng, Kaitian Sect, Yang family, Ma family, and Nangong family openly disobeyed my son's orders and made my son a joke of the government and the public. How can I tolerate this?" Ji Tianming refused to accept it.
After the queen sat down, she stepped back and snorted: "The Yang family is the family of Concubine Yang's mother. It has always supported the third prince. Will it support you? The Ma family and the Yang family are family friends. If the Yang family is involved, naturally they will not support it. you."
"The Nangong family has always had a quarrel with the Zhang family. They have already withdrawn from the court to fight for power to show weakness. Naturally, they will not be in the limelight at this time."
"The Kaitian Sect was suppressed by the imperial court back then, but now I still have anger in my heart. This anger will naturally be vented on you now."
The Queen spoke eloquently and easily pointed out the key points.
"What about the Sword Alliance? Why doesn't the Sword Alliance support me at this time? The Peerless Sword Master once owed favor to the Zhang family." The prince was puzzled.
The queen said coldly: "The favor of the Peerless Sword Master has been repaid. Now Yang Jianfeng is Ye Tianda's teacher, you have to figure out the pros and cons by yourself."
"Ye Tian again?" Ji Tianming clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
The queen shook her head in disappointment and said: "Look at your appearance now. Ye Tian, a little man, has actually made you lose your mind. What you have to do now is not to be angry or jealous of those forces that have not contributed, but to take good care of them." Once the martial arts competition is successfully held, we will win the first place for the empire. By then, we will gain more hearts and minds."
"My mother has taught me a lesson." The prince bowed his head and admitted his mistake, but he was still unwilling and angry.
Why, he supervised the crown prince, so many forces and people dared not give him face? He vowed to make them regret it.
Zhizi Moruomu!
The queen sighed secretly and said: "From today on, I will be in charge of the government, and you can just assist me."
The prince said in shock: "Mother, my son is the prince of the prison country! How could you..."
The queen scolded: "I am still the auxiliary queen!"
The prince immediately shut himself up. He did not expect that the first person to take the piss out of him was his mother.
From today on, the structure of the imperial court has quietly undergone subtle changes.
"Zhang Yuning, can you finally hide your ambition? Is the Zhang family leading the charge behind the scenes, or are you unable to bear it anymore?"
Princess Changping received the news immediately, her eyes narrowed slightly, and murderous intent loomed.
Ye Tian, who devoted himself to cultivation, had no idea about the changes in the outside world. Three days later, he successfully broke through to the middle stage of the Imperial Realm, and the blood evil energy was still flowing like a torrent, seemingly inexhaustible.
Suddenly, Ye Tian made a bold attempt, which was to rush directly into the blood evil aura.
"Ye Tian, what are you doing?"
Yang Jianfeng, Dugu Yijian and Huanyin Louzhu were all shocked.
Although Ye Tian had absorbed and refined a lot of blood evil energy in the past three days, it was only a drop in the bucket for all the blood evil energy in the third seal.
Today's blood evil energy still possesses terrifying and incomparable lethality.
A strong person at the ninth level of the Imperial Realm might die without a burial place if he mistakenly enters it.
What Ye Tian did was no different from seeking death.
But what Ye Tian did next was to silence the three seniors.
The Qianlong Sword burst out with stronger devouring ability, devouring the blood evil energy crazily.
Ye Tian's body also transformed into a bottomless black hole and began to drink like a whale.
The speed at which it swallows the blood evil energy is actually not much weaker than the Ganlong Sword.
You can see bursts of mysterious light blooming from Ye Tian's body, and mysterious and mysterious runes appear one by one, exuding the aura of the avenue.
Huan Yin Louzhu suddenly felt very uncomfortable, as if something heavy was pressing on her blood, giving her a sense of awe derived from her blood.
"How can his physical body be so powerful?" Huanyin's face turned pale.
