Chapter 260
"Thank you, His Majesty Sheng!"
When Emperor Sheng finally said the word "Go back early", all the lords stood up, bowed to Emperor Sheng, and then spoke in unison.
Xu Jin, who was among the crowd, naturally followed suit at this time and also bowed to Emperor Sheng.
After everyone gave this greeting, Emperor Sheng, who was sitting at the top of the hall, nodded at the end of everyone, and then his figure slowly faded and gradually disappeared from his seat.
With Emperor Sheng's departure, the banquet of princes was completely over. The vassal kings turned their attention to the lords of the major vassal states, because beside them, the lords of the vassal states who had just stood up and resigned were silently standing with them.
As everyone looked at them, the vassal lord who had repeatedly provoked the Emperor Sheng laughed and spoke loudly.
"My lords, after meeting today, I want to meet again at the banquet of princes next time. I am afraid it will be 20 or 30 years later. I hope you can be safe during this period. Haha, I am so eager to return home, so I will take the lead!"
After saying that, the other party strode out of the hall, and the princes gathered around him also strode outside at this time, without taking into account the gaze of the people around him.
After these vassal kings left, others walked out of the hall one after another. Xu Jin came in relatively late, and the same was true when he went out. When he walked out of the hall, his eyes happened to see the vassal king who had repeatedly provoked Emperor Sheng, and his Taoist soldiers were leaving Yunshangjing.
I saw a strange beast with four legs standing under the feet of an eagle-like falcon, with feathers all over the body like diamond-shaped armor pieces.
"Splitting Cloud Falcon!"
Xu Jin looked at the strange beast under the other party's feet, and based on its characteristics and compared with the classics he had read, he immediately recognized it as a strange beast named Liyun Falcon.
According to the description in the classics, the Liyun Falcon flies very fast and has strong defense. It often shuttles through the clouds. An adult Liyun Falcon has a strength that exceeds most practitioners in the Jiming realm.
The fissure falcon under the opponent's feet was more than 100 meters in size and was definitely an adult. What surprised Xu Jin was that at this moment was not only the other party's feet, but the Taoist soldiers who came with the opponent also had a fissure falcon under the feet, but the body was slightly smaller than the one under the feet of the vassal king.
More than 300 Rifted Yunfangs flapped their wings and left Yunshangjing. At this moment, the clouds around Yunshangjing rolled up wildly. The colorful clouds that were originally looked extremely beautiful under the light were like torn colorful neon lights, losing their previous beauty, and the people who caused all this disappeared quickly in front of everyone's eyes.
This vassal lord seemed to be the last one among the powerful vassal lords who left Yunshangjing. The other vassal lords who came out first had already left him one step ahead of him.
And just because the other party left, seeing a group of split cloud falcons tearing away the clouds, some vassal kings who were a little dissatisfied with their arrogant attitude dared to speak out and belittle the other party.
"Hmph, the arrogant man, with some strength, is so rude!"
"Indeed, this person's performance at the banquet of the princes just now was even more rude than Xu Jin, who was not the lord of the princes. If it weren't for His Majesty Sheng, he would have taken it down long ago in order to take the overall situation into consideration!"
...
Xu Jin heard the discussions coming from his ears, including those who mentioned him, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at the people who were talking. He found that those who expressed dissatisfaction with the princes who had just left were basically those who were standing in the side just now.
After his eyes turned to him, the people also felt something and looked at Xu Jin. However, they did not seem to be embarrassed because they were talking about Xu Jin and were heard by the main master. Instead, they nodded to Xu Jin, and their attitude seemed to be a little close. One of them even walked towards Xu Jin.
Seeing that the other person was walking towards him, Xu Jin stopped wherever he was. After coming over, the other person spoke to Xu Jin.
"I am Qing Feng, the king of Xiu Kingdom. There is a daughter in the family who is at the right age and has not been married yet. If you are interested, you can come to Xiu Kingdom to have a chat in the future!"
"It turned out that it was the Lord Xiu who was in person. Thank you for your kindness, but the foundation is not stable at present, and the surroundings are still surrounded by strong enemies. I dare not make plans in this regard for the time being. I can only let the Lord down. Please forgive me!"
Hearing the other party's words, Xu Jin immediately bowed and replied. He didn't expect that after he got the opportunity to become the lord of the vassal state, someone came to the door so soon. When talking about the marriage, Xu Jin did not have any plans for this at present, so he refused very simply.
When Qing Jin heard Xu Jin say this, the king of Xiu Kingdom Qing Jin was not angry either. He just nodded and continued to say to Xu Jin.
"It's okay, when your foundation is solid, if you want to consider this matter, you can come to Xiu Country then."
As soon as he finished speaking, the king of Xiu Kingdom, Qing Jin turned around and left. After he left, several more princes came to Xu Jin and introduced his identity. After saying that he had a married woman at home, Xu Jin spent some time dealing with it.
After gaining the opportunity to become the lords of the lords, the attitudes of these lords towards Xu Jin were obviously changed.
After dealing with these people, Xu Jin took Han Huang and the Blood Owl Dao Army who had already been waiting for the side. After the crowd gathered, they did not choose to leave immediately, but returned to their previous place together.
Xu Jin was going to wait a moment to see if anyone would ask him to meet before he waited for someone to go back. This time he came to attend the congratulations banquet. Xu Jin felt that his affairs might not be over.
After everyone returned to their residence, most of the Taoist soldiers went to rest, leaving Wang An and told Xu Jin about what happened in the side hall.
Compared with what happened in the main hall where the princes banquet was held, the partial hall used to entertain the Taoist soldiers brought by the kings of various countries was actually very lively during the banquet of princes.
According to Wang An's description, at the beginning, the atmosphere was still very harmonious, and it was not much different from the last time I came to attend the Banquet of the Princes. But when they started to enjoy the food, something happened soon.
There was a Taoist soldier led by the lord of the vassal state. After eating what he had in front of him, he suddenly attacked the things in front of the Taoist soldiers on both sides. The Taoist soldier who was robbed of food was not weak, and he was about to return to his face, so he suddenly formed a group of people.
Seeing this, Dasheng officials in the side hall immediately took action to stop it, but as a result, the lords who led the Taoist soldiers on both sides did not give in at all and started fighting in person. Although most of the Taoist soldiers affected by the vassal states chose to give in, some of them also participated in the fight.
Finally, more experts from Dasheng arrived, which stopped the farce. The teams that ended up fighting were kicked out of the side hall in advance, including the Taoist soldiers under the command of the vassal king who had provoked Emperor Sheng before.
After hearing Wang An's description, Xu Jin felt more and more that the princes came to attend the princes' banquet this time, as if they were just here to make trouble. But strangely, the other party had already done so too much, but Emperor Sheng never moved the other party at all, completely ignoring the other party's offensive behavior, and did not know whether the other party had something to rely on, so that Emperor Sheng had to worry or some other reason.
After telling Xu Jin about what happened in the side palace, Wang An also went down to rest. The meal he just enjoyed was of great benefit to his slight improvement, and it still needed to be further digested and absorbed.
After all the Taoist soldiers went to rest, Xu Jin turned his attention to Han Huang and wanted to discuss the unusual aspects of this princes banquet with the other party. But before he could speak, Han Huang suddenly spoke first.
"Master Xu Bing, do you value the bloodline of the Abyss or the bloodline of the God of Cangshan? Unfortunately, the bloodline of the God of Qishui is not abundant. With the current situation, I am afraid I will not marry!"
When Xu Jin heard Han Huang's words, he felt speechless. He wanted to discuss the important matter with the other party, but he didn't expect that since the beginning, the other party was actually thinking about his marriage.
At this moment, Xu Jin said with some amusement and laughter: "Let's put this matter aside for the time being. At present, I have no plans to marry. Besides, if you want to become the lord of the vassal state, there is not only the only way to marry. What we need to do now is to strengthen our own strength first!"
Hearing Xu Jin's words, Han Huang shook his head this time, then looked at Xu Jin and said.
"The words of Master Xu Bing are not right. There is no conflict between the two. It can be carried out together. Now that you have the opportunity to become the lord of the vassal state, you must seize this opportunity well. You cannot just pin your hopes on the most difficult possibility."
"You must know that among the vassal states in the world, there are many masters who can reach the Jiming realm, but there are very few who can successfully break through the Tianxian realm in the end, almost none of them. As strong as those vassal states with bloodlines, most of them have failed. Therefore, you cannot place all your hopes on the road to break through the Tianxian realm, and you still need another layer of insurance!"
Han Huang spoke very seriously and his expression was solemn. Xu Jin was even more speechless when he heard his words. He didn't expect that he would encounter such a urge to get married one day in this world, so he could only force the topic to turn around and talk.
"Okay, I have my own plans for this matter. What I want to tell you now is the matter between Emperor Sheng and those powerful vassal states at this banquet of princes. Do you have any opinions on this matter?"
Hearing Xu Jin say this, Han Huang knew that the marriage was not urgent for the time being, so he also put his thoughts on what happened at the banquet of the princes today. After pondering for a moment, Han Huang shook his head and said.
"There are definitely many inside stories behind what happened at the Banquet of the Princes today that we don't know, so I have no idea for now. But from today on, the boundaries between those powerful princes and Dasheng will be clearer. I'm afraid that the two sides will have a battle sooner or later!"
After Han Huang finished speaking, Xu Jin nodded slightly and said.
"Well, after today's incident, the conflict between the two sides has almost been on the surface. The conflict will continue to deepen in the future. There is only one thing I have not figured out, that is why, as the common ruler of the vassal state, Emperor Sheng, facing the repeated provocations of the vassal state, never occurred!"
The two discussed this topic for a few words, but they couldn't figure it out for a while, so they quickly ended the conversation and discussed the return. Finally, Xu Jin decided to wait until tomorrow at the residence. If no one summoned him by that time, it means that he might have thought too much and could go back to Gujiu directly. If it was not because he thought too much, then when he went back would depend on the situation and it would not take too long to think that he would not have been delayed.
After deciding when to return, Xu Jin and Han Huang went to rest. After returning to their room, Xu Jin immediately sat cross-legged on the bed and began to activate the magic power in his body.
At the banquet of the princes just now, Xu Jin did not waste any of the delicious food in front of him and ate them all into his stomach.
Those things are not only delicious, but also have great benefits for practitioners. Before, Xu Jin had clearly felt the benefits to himself in the hall. Now, after using magic power to practice, these benefits to him have suddenly become clearer.
Originally, Yunshangjing's world had a strong spiritual energy and the rules of heaven and earth were active and clear, which was of some help to practice. At this moment, after the magic power in Xu Jin's body was activated, the efficiency of cultivation was greatly improved compared to before. This effect was undoubtedly brought by a delicious dish he had eaten before.
In addition, Xu Jin also clearly felt that his thinking had become clearer at this moment, and his spirit was in a relatively peaceful state. The qi and blood in his body increased slightly compared to before.
Xu Jin digested these benefits through cultivation, and the scope of the sea in his body was also widened to a certain extent. After Xu Jin completed his digestion, he felt that his cultivation had taken another small step forward.
At this time, it was the second day. Most of the lords who came to attend the banquet of the princes had left Yunshangjing at this time, leaving only a small part of them who had not returned because of special things.
After finishing his practice, Xu Jin sat in the room and began to organize the items in his storage bag, sorting out all the things that were valuable but useless to him. He planned to replace these items if he went back today, and get some spiritual materials that Tian Yu and others could use. It is rare to come to Dasheng for a trip, so he had to bring something back.
Just as Xu Jin was sorting out the things in his storage bag, Si Bu came to his residence again. After he came in and saw Xu Jin, he said straight to the point.
"Master Xu Bing, God wants to see you!"
