"Grand Bachelor of the Imperial Cabinet!"
A hint of shock flashed across Gu Huo's expression.
His eyes condensed and he fell silent.
The cabinet bachelors were one of the few top ministers in the Zixuan Dynasty. They had a very high status. There were no more than dozens of cabinet bachelors in the entire dynasty. This group of Wu kings were one of the important ministers who assisted the young emperor in managing the affairs of the court, and their status was not lower than that of ordinary royal princes.
The martial kings of the Zixuan Dynasty had to pass the imperial examination before they could serve as court ministers in the Zixuan Dynasty.
The comprehensive strength of all previous imperial examinations was outstanding, and only after one or two hundred years of hard work in the dynasty, and reaching the peak of King Wu's cultivation, could he finally become a bachelor and finally take charge of the dynasty's cabinet.
Unless Emperor Wu comes here in person, the possibility of letting the old man give way is extremely slim.
A martial king from the Purple Phoenix Sect asked Gu Huo with his eyes what to do next.
"It turns out he is a bachelor of Confucius University, so forget it, what a bother!"
Gu Huo waved his hand calmly and lowered the curtains of the Purple Phoenix Chariot.
Originally, he was thinking that with his status as the young sect of the Purple Phoenix Sect, he would force the envoys of the Imperial Dynasty in front of him to give in.
But once I heard that he was a cabinet bachelor, forget it.
He did not dare to provoke this important minister of the Zixuan Dynasty.
However, Gu Huo had doubts in his heart.
Why was Kong Jianqing sent to this ancient land of the Ancestral Gods by Young Emperor Zixuan?
Could it be related to the "Fengzu bloodline" that was the target of his trip?
As early as a few months ago, a piece of heavy news spread from the Ancient Land of the Ancestral Gods through a large number of blue-feathered birds. It was said that the ancestral blood of Emperor Yin and the blood of the Phoenix Ancestor appeared in the Ancient Land of the Ancestral Gods. Among them, Gu Xin of the Beast Emperor Pavilion Pavilion Master Yue obtained the bloodline inheritance of Fengzu.
This important news was sold to the Purple Phoenix Sect by a news dealer at a high price of thousands of yuan stones.
This made the Purple Phoenix Sect shake up and down with great surprise.
It is true that the Gu clan of the Purple Phoenix Sect possesses the supreme and noble Purple Phoenix bloodline, but as the generations pass on, the Purple Phoenix bloodline will inevitably become thinner and gradually decline from generation to generation.
Relying solely on the power of bloodline, even the most core direct lineage, sooner or later will not be able to break through to the realm of the Purple Phoenix Martial King.
Therefore, replenishing the clan's family bloodline concentration is almost the top priority for all clans.
Everyone knows that if any information about the Phoenix bloodline is brought to the Purple Phoenix Sect, thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan stones will be paid as a benefit.
The Fengzu bloodline is of course the top bloodline inheritance of the Phoenix clan, and Gu Xinyue, the master of the Beast Emperor Pavilion who received the Fengzu bloodline, also has a close relationship with the Purple Phoenix Sect.
Her father, Gu Yunshan, failed in the struggle for power within the Gu clan and was expelled from the Purple Phoenix Sect as a sinner. He was forced to come to the ancient land of the Ancestral God to establish his own family.
Gu Xinyue is naturally also a bloodline of the Purple Phoenix Sect. Now that Gu Yunshan has passed away, there is no need to continue to pursue him. Since Gu Xinyue has obtained the blood of Fengzu, there is no need to live outside all the time.
After discussion, the senior officials of the Purple Phoenix Sect decided to expunge Gu Yunshan's charges and allow Gu Xinyue to make amends and return to the Purple Phoenix Sect.
The Purple Phoenix Sect immediately dispatched an important member, Shaozong Gu Huo, to the Ancient Land of the Ancestral Gods, trying every means possible to get Gu Xinyue to return to the Purple Phoenix Sect, rejoin the Gu clan, and strengthen the Phoenix clan bloodline of the Purple Phoenix Sect.
Of course, Gu Huo was extremely vigilant and did not want anyone to ruin his mission to the ancient land of the ancestral gods. If he can successfully complete this task, his status in the clan will be greatly improved.
The number of people who dare to oppose him, the young master of the Purple Phoenix Sect, Ming Zhu, is estimated to be very small. Not many Martial Kings have this strength, and few Martial Kings have this courage.
But in front of him, Kong Jianqing, the senior envoy of the Zixuan Dynasty and cabinet scholar, was exactly the person with this ability.
But Gu Huo wasn't quite sure of Kong Jianqing's intentions.
I had never heard of the Zixuan Dynasty sending high-level envoys for a bloodline.
The bloodline of Fengzu is something that the Purple Phoenix Sect is determined to obtain, but it has nothing to do with the Zixuan Dynasty. The bloodline inheritance of the Zixuan Dynasty is different, and they will not fight for the Fengzu bloodline.
Perhaps, it is more likely that the Zixuan Dynasty is interested in the blood of Emperor Yin.
Gu Huo felt a little relieved when he thought of this.
As long as it doesn't interfere with his clan mission on this trip, he doesn't care who lives or dies in the ancient land of the ancestral gods.
…
The fire and wind in Ghost Howling Gorge finally stopped.
The envoys of the Zixuan Dynasty and the Purple Phoenix Chariot of the Purple Phoenix Sect flew through the canyon first, and then other worried King Wu and the martial arts cultivators passed through the Ghost Howling Gorge one after another.
The Zixuan Dynasty envoy's car and the Purple Phoenix Sect's Purple Phoenix chariot appeared in the Ancient Land of the Ancestral God.
This news quickly reached the ears of the new city lord of Yinhuang City, Liehuo Palace Hu Xiao.
The previous city lord, the leader of the True Spirit Society, Shi Yurong, was seriously injured and his life and death are unknown. There is still no trace. Hu Xiao, the lord of the Liehuo Palace, has taken over as the lord of Yinhuang City and became the nominal leader of the ancient land of the ancestors.
"Zixuan Dynasty envoy cabinet scholar Kong Jianqingkong?! Gu Huo, the young master of the Purple Phoenix Sect?! How could people like them come to the ancient land of the ancestors!"
When Hu Xiao heard the report from his subordinates, his face was full of disbelief.
The Zixuan Dynasty and the seven major sects had never sent such an important person to a place like the Ancient Land of the God of Ancestral God, where dragons and snakes were mixed.
Even if there are rare treasures or high-level bloodlines born in the Ancient Land of the Ancestral God, the usual practice is to send a few envoys from the King of Martial Arts to negotiate "heavy purchases."
The Zixuan Dynasty and the Shenwu Sect have a lot of wealth, but they will not be so condescending as to send important people to such an isolated and dangerous ancient land to deal with these unruly "idle savages".
Hu Xiao was deep in thought, unable to understand.
But since these two major forces have sent people here, as the lord of Yinhuang City and the nominal leader of all the major and minor forces in the Ancestral God Ancient Land, he cannot pretend that he has not seen it.
The Zixuan Dynasty is the co-owner of the human race in Dongzhou of the Shenwu Continent. If there is no enmity, it is still necessary to try not to offend and maintain courtesy towards the high-ranking envoys of the dynasty.
Immediately, he personally led the martial kings from Yin Imperial City out of the city to meet the envoys of the Zixuan Dynasty, the cabinet scholar Kong Jianqing and the young master of the Purple Phoenix Sect, Gu Huogu.
Yin Huangcheng.
Three miles outside the east city gate.
"Hu Xiao, the city lord of Yinhuang City in the ancient land of the ancestral gods, on behalf of all the martial arts cultivators in the ancient land of the ancestral gods, respectfully welcomes the Confucian scholar of the Imperial Envoy of the Zixuan Dynasty to our land!"
Hu Xiao saw two cars arriving quickly from a distance, and he bowed his hands respectfully.
Behind him, more than a hundred martial kings from all the big and small forces in Yinhuang City, Tao Yuan, the leader of the Tieming Society, the leader of the Blood Flame Sect, the True Spirit Society, etc., were also waiting outside the city to greet him.
"The Lord of the City is too polite. You are the landlords here. Guests can do as they please! There are many inconveniences outside the city. Let's talk about it later when we enter the city."
The Zixuan Dynasty envoy's car pulled by the nine-headed fire-maned lion paused for a moment in front of the Martial Kings. Kong Jianqing opened the curtains of the car and smiled at the welcoming Martial Kings.
"That's good. I've prepared a banquet to welcome Mr. Kong and wash away the dust. Mr. Kong invites you!"
Hu Xiao immediately waved his hand and asked for a ride into the city.
Afterwards, the envoy's car drove to Yinhuang City.
"The Lord of Yin Imperial City, Hu Xiao, would like to welcome the young master of the Valley of the Purple Phoenix Sect! I will host a banquet at the Lord's Mansion tonight..."
Hu Xiao then saluted the purple phoenix chariot that was following him and said.
"Oh, I see!"
A young Martial King responded with a gentle hum from inside the Purple Phoenix Chariot, but he did not stop the vehicle.
Before Hu Xiao finished speaking, the purple phoenix chariot had already passed them directly and headed towards Yinhuang City.
Hu Xiao couldn't help but frown, looking at Zifeng Chaan's leaving figure, and whispered to himself with annoyance: "Why is this young sect so arrogant!"
Tao Yuan, the leader of Tie Ming Hui next to him, showed a hint of self-mockery and shook his head: "That's natural. I am the young sect of the Purple Phoenix Sect, one of the seven major sects. I may become the sect leader of the Purple Phoenix Sect in the future. Yu Zun Jianggui came here to give us face. Who are we? Even if there are dozens of big and small forces in the entire Ancestral God Ancient Land, they can't compare to an arm and leg of the Purple Phoenix Sect. Their little finger is thicker than you and me! Forget it. Let's go, I hope this Gu Shaozong won't cause trouble with us, and we will burn incense."
The two big shots were welcomed into the city by Hu Xiao, and each of the two top luxury inns in Yinhuang City booked the entire inn as a place to stay.
Later, Hu Xiao held a banquet at the city lord's palace in Yinhuang City, and the leaders of the forces in the ancient land of the ancestors prepared to entertain the two important guests.
Kong Jianqinggui was a cabinet scholar of the Zixuan Dynasty. He had a distinguished status, but he was also a well-rounded person. He made the leaders of all forces feel like spring breeze at the banquet.
It's just that Gu Huo, the young sect member of the Purple Phoenix Sect, obviously despises the martial arts cultivators of the Ancient Land of Ancestral Gods, so he only attended the banquet in a perfunctory manner.
After a day of commotion, everyone dispersed.
Kong Jianqing and Gu Huo didn't seem to be in a hurry to get down to business right away.
After entering the Ancient Land of the Ancestral Gods, it is not easy to leave. You have to wait at least a year before the Ghost Howling Gorge opens again.
They have a full year to complete their mission.
For a period of time afterwards, Gu Huo traveled around the ancient land of ancestral gods in Yinhuang City, only sending his men to inquire about Gu Xinyue in the Beast Emperor Pavilion.
Regarding the Ancestral God Ancient Land, two pieces of information about the birth of Ancestral Blood were sold to the Purple Phoenix Sect.
But Gu Huo was not sure how true or false the news was. When he came to the Ancient Land of the Ancestral Gods, the first thing he wanted to do was to confirm the authenticity of the matter to avoid being deceived.
In the past few days, he finally got the exact news.
Gu Xinyue, the Pavilion Master of the Beast Emperor Pavilion, and Ye Fan, the Deputy Pavilion Master, both obtained the Fengzu bloodline and the Yinhuang bloodline on Fuyun Star Island, and were promoted to Fengzu Martial King and Yinmai Martial King.
This incident was witnessed by hundreds of King Wu.
After the two of them broke through the Martial King realm, they killed five Martial King elders in a blink of an eye and seriously injured Shi Yurong, the leader of the True Spirit Society. They caused a sensation in the Ancient Land of the Ancestral Gods and triggered a battle to conquer the Beast King Pavilion.
There is absolutely nothing false about these circumstances.
This news made him very happy.
But one problem is that the Beast King Pavilion has been completely relocated to the Taikoo Sacred Mountain. The Taikoo Sacred Mountain is closed and under martial law. People who are not members of the Beast Emperor Pavilion cannot enter at all.
Kong Jianqing, the envoy of the Zixuan Dynasty and a college student in the Cabinet, was even more relaxed. He did not explain the purpose of his trip to anyone, which made people confused.
Kong Jianqing was only in the Yinhuangcheng Inn.
The leaders of the various forces in the ancient land of the Ancestral God came to visit for various reasons, hoping to establish some friendship with the cabinet bachelor of the Zixuan Dynasty, which would be useful in case of need in the future. Naturally, they also brought him various news.
Kong Jianqing had an inseparable grasp of the situation in the Ancient Land of the Ancestral God in just a few days.
