Noon.
The seventh demon land, Zishan Palace.
In fact, today's Far East Snowfield may no longer be considered a holy land for monsters.
Ever since Wei Changtian and his party went on a killing spree in Bailing Mountain and kidnapped Su Xiu half a month ago, the Seventh Demon Land, which had been severely damaged, had fallen into chaos and no longer looked like the otherworldly wonderland it once was.
It’s not even a matter of “heavy losses” anymore.
Many important places, including Bailing Mountain and Zishan Palace, are now occupied by the Dajue military. The living space of the demon clan has been greatly squeezed almost overnight.
After losing the relationship with Yan Huanwen, it won't take long for the Seventh Demon Land to become an ordinary snowfield if it continues like this.
Looking at it this way, what Wei Changtian said in front of Su Xiu at that time, "I don't mind letting you Bai Lingshan be removed from the Fourteen Demon Lands" was really not a big statement.
Whether it was intentional or forced, the Seventh Demon Land was now on the verge of collapse because of him.
And now when he sets foot on this snowfield again...
The sun was dazzling, reflecting golden light on the glazed tiles of the main hall.
Using his internal energy to evaporate the animal blood from his clothes, Wei Changtian took a step out of the black mist, raised his eyes and looked around.
It's still the same main hall, but it's slightly different from the last time I came here. It should have been renovated.
There were more than ten Shuzhou soldiers standing around him, and there were still some in the distance, confronting an unknown number of silver-armored soldiers across the door.
Obviously, those silver-armored soldiers must have been brought by Yan Huaiqing.
"Son."
"The villain has just carefully checked inside and outside the hall."
Next to me, the Shuzhou soldiers who came first reported in a low voice: "There are about thousands of enemy troops outside the palace, and they are all Dajue Forbidden Army."
"They must have received the order. They have never entered the palace, and they have not stopped us from leaving the palace to investigate..."
"..."
Soon, the general general gave an overview of the situation.
Although Dajue's soldiers numbered in the thousands, they were all outside Zishan Palace. They were obviously unwilling to cause unnecessary misunderstandings and conflicts with him.
It seems that Yan Huaiqing is really sincere this time.
After all, if something happens, Wei Changtian can use the teleportation array to return to the mountain temple at any time. There is really no need to worry about what tricks he will play.
Tsk tsk tsk, this style of acting seems like a character.
With a sigh in his heart, Wei Changtian nodded towards the Qingjia General Flag.
"Yes, I understand... Brothers, is anything wrong?"
"Go back to my lord, one of you is dead."
The commander-in-chief paused and turned his gaze to one side.
Wei Changtian followed his gaze and discovered that there was indeed a corpse lying flat in the corner.
The armor was intact and there were no injuries on his body. He must have died in a "one in a hundred" accident involving the teleportation array.
"Hey, keep an eye on his body and take it with us when we go back."
After whispering a warning, Wei Changtian withdrew his gaze and walked toward the palace door.
Chu Xianping and Li Zimu, who had been silent all this time, followed him, neither fast nor slow.
In this way, the three of them quickly walked to the inside of the palace door, and finally were able to see clearly the scene outside the palace.
Just as the general flag said, there were indeed thousands of soldiers wearing silver armor standing outside in a neat formation, extending from the palace gate to hundreds of meters away.
Each of these silver-armored soldiers had cold expressions and murderous intent, and their armor scales were particularly dazzling in the sunlight.
The combat effectiveness of such a forbidden army must be terrifying.
And Yan Huaiqing knew that there was a high probability that he would not need these people, but he still let them appear in front of him... There is no doubt that this is also a way of "showing off muscles".
Curling his lips, Wei Changtian didn't care.
He didn't say anything, nor did he step out of the hall, he just stood motionless at the entrance of the hall.
Soon, a man who looked like a general came forward, bowed his hands to him, and asked loudly:
"May I ask if you are Mr. Wei?"
"yes."
With one word out of his mouth, Wei Changtian turned his attention to this person.
The golden armor and golden sword are powerful and powerful, and it is most likely a second-grade weapon.
After coming to the conclusion, Wei Changtian stopped looking at him, and the latter raised his hands and said, "Please wait a moment, sir." Then he turned around and ran to a carriage with a dragon flag hanging on it, and said something to the people in the car. What.
After a while, a person got out of the car.
He wears a golden python robe with a hem open to the left and right, and a sword on his waist.
He is tall and thin, and looks somewhat similar to Yan Huanwen.
Obviously, this person is Yan Huaiqing.
...
...
"boom!!!"
The moment Yan Huaiqing stepped off the carriage, thousands of silver-armored soldiers knelt on one knee.
Unlike those civil servants who were very particular about being decent when kneeling, these soldiers were not so particular about it. They knelt as neatly and neatly as if a boulder had fallen to the ground.
And although there were only a few thousand of them, their number was far inferior to the scene where thousands of people knelt down and worshiped when the emperor was traveling, but the sound that erupted from this kneeling was actually overwhelming and domineering.
This shows that these people are not only well-trained, but also really willing to go through fire and water for Yan Huaiqing.
However, Yan Huaiqing, who got off the carriage, did not look at these people or let them get up.
He just glanced at Wei Changtian from a distance, and then walked towards Zishan Palace step by step, followed only by the second-rank general.
"..."
"Brother Chu, what do you think of this Prince Dajue?"
Without looking back, Wei Changtian still stared at Yan Huaiqing, who was getting closer and closer, but his voice clearly reached Chu Xianping's ears.
Soon, Chu Xianping behind him gave a very concise answer.
"My lord, this man indeed has the talents of an emperor."
"The talent of an emperor..."
Repeating the sentence in a low voice, Wei Changtian asked again: "How does it compare with Ning Yongnian and Li Qi?"
"Maybe he is not as self-centered as Ning Yongnian, and maybe he is not as virtuous as Li Qi in sacrificing himself for the people."
After a pause, Chu Xianping's voice became more serious: "But he is not as stubborn as Ning Yongnian, nor is he as indecisive as Li Qi."
Not as domineering as Ning Yongnian, not as kind as Li Qi.
But he is not as arbitrary as Ning Yongnian, nor is he as kind as Li Qi.
The evaluation given by Chu Xianping can be considered objective, and the reason for reaching such a conclusion is not difficult to understand.
After all, Yan Huaiqing was able to win over so many people for his own use just as a prince, and now that he had basically controlled the government of Dajue, his method of winning over people's hearts was naturally extremely powerful.
It is difficult for someone as arbitrary as Ning Yongnian to do this.
As for why he is said to be indecisive...
How could someone who could decide to become emperor the day after his biological father was kidnapped not be cruel?
Wei Changtian squinted his eyes and said nothing.
The moment thousands of people knelt down outside the palace, he had already realized that Yan Huaiqing was not easy to deal with and could never be treated like an ordinary prince like Ning Wenjun.
Perhaps, this peace negotiation is much more difficult than you imagined...
At this moment, the entire Zishan Palace was extremely quiet, with only the footsteps of Yan Huaiqing and the general behind him echoing in the air.
Then at a certain moment, the footsteps stopped.
"..."
"Young Master Wei, I have long admired you."
"I'm Yan Huaiqing."
