Chapter 210: Take Sides!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“The Cloud Phoenix Empire? The current Cloud Phoenix Empire’s strength is far from what it is now. How is it possible to return to the past?”

Everyone looked towards the third floor.

Those who could sit on the third floor were all the major forces of this mainland.

This meant that this faction had a Void God Realm expert guarding it on the surface!

When everyone saw this person, they were slightly stunned.

Everyone knew that there were three aristocratic families, two sects, and an academy in the central region.

These six factions were the top factions of the central region and had joint control of the central region!

They were extremely powerful.

The academy represented the Hidden Dao Academy.

The two major sects were the Hidden Sword Sect and the Alchemy Sect.

The three aristocratic families were Li Family, Mu Family, and Murong Family.

At that moment, the person who spoke was a young man.

Everyone present had heard of this man.

Murong Mou of the Murong Clan.

Even though his strength was not as shocking as his younger brother, Murong Ce, Murong Mou was the only prodigy of the Murong clan before Murong Ce was born!

Even though Murong Ce had overshadowed his current glory, Murong Mou’s talent could not be underestimated.

Bei Ling looked at Murong Mou and smiled silently.

It seemed that the Murong family was preparing to enter the arena.

Murong Mou was not a brainless person. He must have been instructed by his family to say such words.

Naturally, the Murong clan had their own motives for doing so.

Of course, it was certain that they did not want to see the Cloud Phoenix Empire rebuild.

The rebuilding of the Cloud Phoenix Empire would definitely result in the benefits of this mainland being shared after all.

This was what the Murong clan and the other forces that did not agree with the rebuilding of the Cloud Phoenix Empire were afraid of.

On the third floor, there was a woman in red beside Dean Yan on the Hidden Dao Academy’s side. Nine people stood behind her.

Her expression did not change hearing this.

Dean Yan smiled and said, “Empress, aren’t you angry?”

The woman was Hong Ying! The nine people behind her were naturally from the Nine Heavens Tribe.

However, not many people present had seen Hong Ying’s true appearance.

Hong Ying said expressionlessly, “What’s there to be angry about? It’s expected. It’s just as well. Let’s see how many forces will stand up.”

As the Ancient Empress, naturally, there was no need to be angry with the younger generation.

Furthermore, he could use this opportunity to see how many forces would stand up and openly oppose the rebuilding of the Cloud Phoenix Empire.

These forces would definitely become Hong Ying’s target.

The Nine Heavens Tribe did not make a move either.

Even though they were angry, they would not move before Hong Ying gave the order to attack.

In the room on the third floor, Murong Mou continued coldly, “1 admit that in ancient times, under the leadership of the Cloud Phoenix Empress, the overall strength of the continent reached another level.”

“However, because of the Cloud Phoenix Empire’s stubbornness, more than half of the martial arts inheritance on the continent was destroyed.”

“Now that the continent has finally recovered a little, are we going to let the Cloud Phoenix Empire rebuild and lead us to destruction?”

At this moment, Yun Ming finally couldn’t help but retort.

“At that time, all the sects and aristocratic families on the continent agreed to the Cloud Phoenix Empire’s battle plan. How were they stubborn?”

Everyone looked in Yun Ming’s direction.

Hong Ying did not stop Yun Ming.

Yun Ming continued, “At that time, the top experts on the continent had already reached a bottleneck.”

“The total amount of spiritual energy on this continent alone is not enough for them to break through!”

“Aren’t we all cultivators pursuing higher realms? They naturally agreed to the Empire’s plan.”

Murong Mou retorted, “But what happened in the end? The result was leading the continent to destruction! Do you want to repeat the tragedy of that time?!” At this point, a few factions chimed in immediately.

“That’s right!”

“A tragedy must not be allowed to happen again!”

“Furthermore, does the current Cloud Phoenix Empire have the strength it had back then?”

“1 heard that the current Empress is only at the Qianyuan Realm, right?” The corners of Murong Mou’s mouth curled up slightly, revealing a smile that his plan had succeeded.

The reason why he said such sensitive words in public.

Naturally, it was to increase the public opinion of rejecting the rebuilding of the Cloud Phoenix Empire!

On the third floor, an old man from the Buddhist Sect also stood out. He clasped his hands together and said, “Amitabha. The Buddhist Sect doesn’t want the continent to fall into a killing spree again.”

“Therefore, the Buddhist Sect is refusing to support the rebuilding of the empire.”

The Buddhist Sect stood up again!

Hong Ying also looked over and a cold light flashed in her eyes.

At that time, there were a few factions in the entire continent that did not agree to the war.

The Buddhist Sect was amongst them!

Hong Ying didn’t force them.

The plan to conquer the Heavenly Road relied on the participation of the resources of the various large factions after all.

However, at that time. Hong Ying had already suspected that the Buddhist Sect was playing an unclean role when fighting on the Heavenly Road.

At that time, the Empire had a few important plans, but they were all known by the other party in advance!

There must be a mole among them.

The Buddhist Sect openly stood on the side of the Upper World envoys during the era of the Sunset Monarchy!

This made Hong Ying even more certain that the foundation of the Buddhist Sect was not clean!

With the Buddhist Sect and the Murong clan, some factions that were against the reestablishment of the empire but did not dare to say it out loud also stood up!

In the Northern Court Restaurant alone, only the Hidden Dao Academy and the Hidden Sword Sect agreed!

As for the Mu Family and the Li Family, who were also from the three aristocratic families, they did not express their stance.

It was the same for the Alchemy Sect.

Obviously, they were still observing the situation and did not want to take sides so quickly.

Yun Ming was furious when he saw this, but he was stopped by Hong Ying’s gaze.

Now was not the time to make a move.

If he attacked now, he would only be targeted by everyone.

She might have the confidence to lead the Nine Heavens Tribe to fight against everyone here, but her goal was to rebuild the Cloud Phoenix Empire.

Once they made a move here, they would not be able to convince the masses with brute force!

Only by defeating them one by one in other places could she slowly find a breakthrough.

It was something that involved benefits, not something that could be easily resolved with strength unless Hong Ying recovered to her old strength.

However, it was clearly impossible in a short period of time.

At this moment, Bei Ling stood up with a smile and said, “Everyone, my father is here.”

With that, a figure appeared beside Bei Ling in an instant.

Those who knew him knew that this person was the City Lord of Northern Plains City, Bei Feng!

His realm was at the half-step Void God Realm.

If not for the fact that it was located outside the Northern Ice Fields and was very far from the center of the Northern Region, the position of the overlord of the Northern Region would probably have nothing to do with the Sunset Monarchy.

Bei Feng cupped his hands and said, “Thank you for giving me face and coming to the Northern Court Restaurant as a guest.”

Everyone cupped their hands in respect.

The people on the second level did not give Bei Feng any face.

Murong Mou cupped his hands and smiled. “City Lord Bei, you should have heard what I said previously. What do you think?”

Bei Feng’s physique was extremely strong. When he heard this, he laughed loudly and looked at Murong Mou. He squinted and said, “Young master of the Murong family, are you asking me to take sides?”

Murong Mou shrugged and did not comment.

However, Bei Feng did not avoid this topic, he smiled: “The Northern Plains City wants to develop peacefully.”

This sentence meant that Bei Feng was going to stand against the Cloud Phoenix Empire!
