Chapter 727 Entire Layout (2)
In fact, the emperor race was no different from the ancient emperors in the continent. In fact, the centralization of the emperor race’s power was far higher than the ancient emperors. The reason was very simple, because the strongest power in a continent was always in the hands of the Imperial Clan.
The light of the Skylight Mirror blossomed to the extreme. The sky in Primordial world was white. This was the noon of Primordial world.
Shen Daolou, who was dressed in luxurious clothes and specially dressed, was currently sitting in the Hearing Proclamation Pavilion in the outer hall of Tantai Imperial Palace, waiting for Tantai Qingfeng to summon him.
The relationship between the saints and emperors in each continent was different. For example, Jiang Nanling was respected as the “number one saint” in the East Continent, and he had been in charge of the East Continent’s military for many years, so his status was extremely respected. Even if the Jiang Clan had been demoted to white, as long as Jiang Nanling was still alive, no one in the Jiang Clan dared to underestimate him.
Even if the Xuanyuan Clan wanted to touch the Jiang Clan, they still had many misgivings to consider.
However, the Tantai Imperial Clan in the Western Continent was different. Although the patriarchs of the two great saints under the Tantai Clan were both at the Saint realm, they weren’t ranked high on the Primordial world Title Saint Rankings.
On the contrary, Tantai Qingfeng, the head of the Imperial Clan, was ranked relatively high on the Titled Saint Rankings. If one were to talk about the “number one Saint of Western Continent”, Tantai Qingfeng might not be able to do so, but if one were to talk about the top ten Saint realms of Western Continent, Tantai Qingfeng was still qualified to be ranked on the Rankings.
It was precisely because of these reasons that the Tantai Imperial Clan’s ruling power in the Western Continent was much stronger than the Xuanyuan Imperial Clan’s ruling power in the Eastern Continent.
Inside the Xuan Pavilion, Shen Daolou would occasionally take out a piece of paper from his pocket and look at it. After reading it, Shen Daolou would still silently recite it.
This piece of paper was given to Shen Daolou by Jiang Feng to Shen Chenfeng. It clearly stated what Shen Daolou should say when he saw Tantai Qingfeng, as well as all the skills he should pay attention to.
Jiang Feng had started laying out the plan since last night, but today, all of the plans had been triggered. Shen Daolou definitely recognized Jiang Feng’s intelligence from the bottom of his heart.
Right now, Qin Wudi was killed in front of the Qin Clan Patriarch by Qi Clan’s trusted aide Sima Xin, and his second son, Qin Jiye, was even minced to pieces. Such a blow to the Qin Clan could not be said to be light.
As for the Qi Clan, it was even worse now. First of all, the Qi Clan’s people in Tantai Imperial City had been personally killed by the Qin Clan’s Patriarch. Qi Shengxiong had even been torn apart. The corpses were sent to Yuntian Imperial City by the Qin Clan’s Patriarch.
Yuntian Imperial City was the imperial city under the control of the Qi Clan. The Qin Clan Patriarch was undoubtedly determined to start a war with the Qi Clan.
Shen Daolou would naturally be held accountable for the internal strife between the two imperial clans under his control. Now that he had been summoned by Tantai Qingfeng to the Tantai Imperial Palace, his intention must be to hold him accountable.
However, he wasn’t worried at all when facing the upcoming Accountability Shen Daolou. On the contrary, he still had a bit of a feeling of “spring breeze and pride”.
Under the rule of a saint, they would normally be in charge of four imperial clans. Whether the Qi Clan was better than the Qin Clan, they were originally under the control of the Shen Clan.
Under normal circumstances, the saints had absolute control over the imperial clans under their control, but the relationship between the Shen Clan, the Qi Clan, and the Qin Clan had been mentioned before. First of all, the Qin Clan Patriarch had broken through to the Sacred Realm. In terms of cultivation, he could basically be said to be on equal footing with Shen Daolou.
As for Shen Daolou, he had been defeated in an important battle against the Primordial Chaos Beast, so it wasn’t just the Qi Clan but the Qin Clan that wanted to join forces to take over the place of the Shen Clan. Even the Tantai Imperial Clan had basically acquiesced to the actions of the Qi Clan and the Qin Clan.
Now that the Qin Clan and Qi Clan were engaged in internal strife, the Tantai Imperial Clan had come to Shen Daolou to be held accountable. Naturally, Shen Daolou had no reason to be afraid.
After all, didn’t the Qi Clan and Qin Clan dare to be so arrogant because they had your Tantai Imperial Clan backing them? Now that the people you support have caused trouble, come and find me, Shen Daolou, to take the blame. What’s wrong? Do you think I, Shen Daolou, am the Back Pot Man?
Thinking of this, Shen Daolou wanted to laugh out loud. As a dignified Saint Sovereign, Shen Daolou had previously been forced to feel extremely aggrieved by the Qi and Qin Families working together. Shen Daolou could not think of any reason why he was unhappy.
Du Du Du …
Hearing the knocking sound outside the Xuan Pavilion, the door was pushed open three times. A middle-aged man wearing black armor bowed to Shen Daolou and said, “Shen Shengzun, please upload to the Lord.”
Shen Daolou nodded. After tidying up his clothes, he followed the black-armored man out of the Hearing Proclamation Pavilion.
Along the way, Shen Daolou turned around and followed the black-armored man to Qingfeng Palace.
Qingfeng Palace was not the main hall of Tantai Emperor Palace, it was more like Tantai Qingfeng’s personal study room.
Shen Daolou immediately saw Tantai Qingfeng sitting behind the desk after entering Qingfeng Hall. Because the two of them were both Titled Saints, Shen Daolou did not kneel down to salute him. Instead, he cupped his fists and saluted Tantai Qingfeng according to the rules, saying, “Shen Daolou greets the Lord.”
Tantai Qingfeng nodded his head and raised his right hand slightly. “Saint Shen, you’re welcome. I believe Saint Shen should be very clear about why you asked him to enter the Imperial Palace today.”
“Reporting to Lord, Shen Daolou understands. Shen Daolou’s weakness has caused internal strife between the Qi and Qin Clans. Shen Daolou is willing to accept any punishment from Lords.”
After Shen Daolou finished speaking, he bent down. This action was already a great courtesy for a Titled Holy Sovereign.
Tantai Qingfeng frowned slightly as he looked at Shen Daolou. According to his understanding of Shen Daolou, Shen Daolou should try his best to shirk responsibility at this time, and reveal the reason why the Qi and Qin Clans did not listen to his control, in order to beg him not to take responsibility. Why did Shen Daolou suddenly lower his posture so low? Furthermore, he was willing to receive any punishment. Was this … was this really Shen Daolou?
Actually, Shen Daolou was also muttering in his heart. According to his original personality, he naturally wouldn’t do this. However, Jiang Feng stated in the note that he had to deal with Jiang Feng in such a way. Shen Daolou had done so out of trust in Jiang Feng’s intelligence.
Tantai Qingfeng sighed. He stood up from his seat and personally walked over to Shen Daolou to support his arm. “Venerable Shen Daolou is serious. No one wants this to happen in the continent. I didn’t invite Venerable Shen here to be held accountable, but to discuss with him why this matter started and how we should resolve it.”
“Indeed!”
Shen Daolou shouted in his heart. Tantai Qingfeng’s reaction was completely within Jiang Feng’s expectations. Even Tantai Qingfeng’s words were not much different from what Jiang Feng had predicted on the note.
Shen Daolou’s heart immediately became excited. Tantai Qingfeng’s performance instantly confirmed Shen Daolou’s determination to completely follow Jiang Feng’s plan.
Shen Daolou directly knelt on the ground and said to Tantai Qingfeng with a face full of shame, “Reporting to Lord, it is useless for Shen Daolou.” Last time, I was defeated in Waterfield, so I lost all my prestige in the continent. The Qi Clan and the Qin Clan took the opportunity to work together to replace the Shen Clan. Behind them, there were even mysterious forces supporting them. Shen Daolou was no longer able to restrain the two of them, causing them to act recklessly in the continent. ”
After Shen Daolou finished speaking, he took out a few letters from his bosom. He handed them to Tantai Qingfeng and said, “I sent people to receive these letters in the room of Chief Constable Sheng Ya and Sima Xin in Imperial City. I believe the Lord will know the cause of the internal strife between the Qi and Qin families after reading them.”
Tantai Qingfeng furrowed his brows. He personally helped Shen Daolou up and said, “Shen Shengzun, sit down and wait first. After I finish reading the letter, I will discuss it with Shen Shengzun.”
Shen Daolou shook his head and said solemnly, “Shen Daolou has committed so many sins under his rule. Shen Daolou has committed such a great crime. He truly has no face to stand up.”
Tantai Qingfeng circulated the Primordial Chaos Spiritual Energy to forcefully lift Shen Daolou up. He gave Shen Daolou an ordering look. Shen Daolou no longer dared to kneel down, only bowed and stood aside.
At this moment, Tantai Qingfeng began to read the letter Sima Xin had personally written. These letters were written exactly according to Jiang Feng’s intentions. It clearly stated that the Qi Clan and Qin Clan had jointly occupied a Primordial Chaos Crystal Mine in the Western Continent. After Shi Feiming discovered this, Qi Shengxiong instructed Sima Xin to kill Shi Feiming.
After Shi Feiming died, Qin Wudi used this matter to claim 80% of the Primordial Chaos Crystal Stone Mine. Under Qi Shengxiong’s indignation, he instructed Sima Xin to design and kill Qin Wudi.
After reading all the letters, Tantai Qingfeng fiercely squeezed his hands. Strong energy burst out from his body, and all the bookshelves and accessories in the Qingfeng Palace were shattered to pieces.
Tantai Qingfeng roared angrily, “The Qi Clan and Qin Clan are simply lawless!”
Shen Daolou deliberately waited for Tantai Qingfeng to lose his temper for a while before he said to himself, “Actually, I don’t quite understand. One of the Qi Clan’s and Qin Clan’s fiefs is in the Cloud Heaven Imperial City area, and the other is in the Dao Heavenly Emperor City area.”
However, the Primordial Chaos Crystal Mine that the two clans had privately occupied was within the Seven-Colored Miasma Forest not far from Emperor City, and the Seven-Colored Miasma Forest had been bought by the two clans. According to the laws of the Imperial Clan, the Imperial Clan had to obtain a saint’s decree to purchase land outside the fief. “I swear by my title that I have never given any land grants to the two families. Then where did the grants come from?”
After Shen Daolou finished speaking, he looked at the floor with a puzzled expression. His gaze did not turn towards Tantai Qingfeng at all.
However, after hearing Shen Daolou’s words, Tantai Qingfeng had an embarrassed expression because the Qi Clan and Qin Clan had personally wholesaled the approval order for the purchase of the Seven-Colored Miasma Forest. At that time, the reason the two families reported was that they were preparing to train in the Seven-Colored Miasma Forest. At that time, Tantai Qingfeng also hoped that the Qi Family and Qin Family would be stronger. This way, the two families would be able to replace the Shen Family without much trouble.
Now that such a thing had happened, Tantai Qingfeng was about to lose all his face.
He glanced at Shen Daolou with his remaining light and found that Shen Daolou did not suspect him at all. Tantai Qingfeng heaved a sigh of relief.
He coughed dryly and said, “We will investigate the matter of the approval order later. The most urgent matter now is to get rid of the Qi and Qin families. Shen Shengzun, I am now giving the order to the Special Envoy for the Elimination of Rebellion. The 1st legion of Imperial City will be temporarily assigned to you from now on. I do not wish for the Qi and Qin families to exist in the Western Continent before dark.”
