Chapter 601 The Envoy Arrives
On the other hand, Lingyun Immortal Dynasty also welcomed many guests with ill intentions.
Above the clouds, a huge fleet of flying chariots came speeding, and all the passengers on board were officials from the Ministry of Rites of the Kingdom of Light.
They followed the eight envoys of light to collect tribute all the way here. Every official had a rosy face, and it was obvious that they all reaped a great harvest.
It's your duty to pay tribute, but you should also pay me for the hard work of making the trip in person, right?
If you don't give it to him, will I have come here for nothing?
Similarly, if I don’t take it and you don’t take it, how can the Shangshu take it? If the Shangshu doesn’t take it, how can you and I make progress?
Of course, some of the more than 10,000 subordinate fairy kingdoms are unable to pay tribute or are unwilling to pay tribute. After all, the tribute during wartime is different from that in peacetime. It is ten times as much as usual!
That's easy. Just confiscate the properties and destroy the countries one by one. With the eight great messengers of light around, these immortal countries simply can't resist. Dozens of immortal countries have been destroyed along the way.
"We have arrived at Lingyun Immortal Dynasty. This should be the last immortal kingdom that will collect tribute this time."
"Yes, only Lingyun has not been collected. Hurry up and collect it and go back quickly. The air here is too bad. It doesn't have the sweet fragrance of our Kingdom of Light. This officer coughed while breathing."
"My concubines worth one hundred thousand are still waiting for me to go back and favor them."
On the flying chariot, officials from the Ministry of Rites gathered together and talked in a buzz.
They had eaten their fill during this tribute-collecting trip, and now they just wanted to hurry back and enjoy themselves.
As for other matters, that is something the messengers of light should consider and has nothing to do with them.
"Is this the Lingyun Dynasty? It's such a barren place with no one around. I don't know why those people in the court wanted us to go here as envoys."
"We must not take it lightly. The court has its reasons for sending us. From my point of view, although the Lingyun Dynasty is poor and weak, the spirit and energy of these Lingyun monks below are good. It seems that under the rule of the mysterious six masters, Lingyun is indeed on the rise."
Two Heaven-level Envoys of Light and six Earth-level Envoys of Light stood in front of the flying chariot team, observing everything that happened to Ling Yun attentively.
The task assigned to them by the court was to investigate the Lingyun Immortal Dynasty and the mysterious six figures. If it was confirmed that they had any connection with the Eternal Night Empire, they would be eliminated immediately.
Regarding Ling Yun below, two of the Earth-level Light Envoys also gave different opinions.
"What the hell are the Six Lords? Can anyone be called a Lord these days? They are just a bunch of frogs in a well, and can only hop around in a small place like this."
The Earth-rank Light Envoy said with disdain.
In his eyes, the Kingdom of Light was the real overlord of Qinghan Xianzhou. Even if the six Lingyun Supremes really came from the Eternal Night Empire, so what? They were still not worthy of being on the stage.
After a while, we arrived at Lingyun Fairyland.
The flying chariot carrying the officials of the Ministry of Rites of the Kingdom of Light and the eight great envoys of light stopped steadily in the sky above Xiandu.
With such a large-scale arrival, it should cause a big sensation, right?
However, the cultivators in Lingyun Fairy City were all doing their own things as if they didn't see them. Even the maids and guards on duty in Lingyun Fairy Palace ignored them.
"This Lingyun Immortal Dynasty is too outrageous! We came here in person, and not only did the Lingyun Empress not lead the civil and military officials to welcome us, but she didn't even have a welcoming ceremony!"
All the officials in the Ministry of Rites frowned in dissatisfaction, and their impression of the Lingyun Immortal Dynasty was extremely bad.
Along the way, he and his companions were treated as guests of honor almost everywhere they went, and the immortal masters of all the immortal kingdoms, big and small, came to greet them personally.
Not to mention the grand welcome ceremony and generous gifts, some even gave away his concubines and fairy queens for their own entertainment.
"Master Chen, the Lingyun Immortal Dynasty simply doesn't take us and our Kingdom of Light seriously!"
"I don't know who gave them the confidence? In my opinion, it was most likely given by the Eternal Night Empire. The Six Supremes must have been sent by the Eternal Night."
An Earth-rank Light Envoy said with certainty.
The Lord Chen he mentioned is one of the two Heavenly Envoys of Light on this trip, named Chen Tiansheng, also known as Lord Tiansheng. He is so famous that it can be said that everyone in Qinghan Xianzhou knows him.
Another Heavenly Rank Envoy of Light is named Wu Tianguang, also known by the title of Divine Lord Tianguang. His cultivation is equivalent to that of Divine Lord Tiansheng, and both are at the third level of the Divine Lord realm.
Faced with complaints from their subordinates and officials from the Ministry of Rites, the two men remained calm and watched it all indifferently.
“No hurry. After meeting the Six Supreme Lords, I will have my own conclusion in my mind,” said Lord Tiansheng calmly.
For the sake of the overall situation, they did not lose their temper on the spot, and the group came to Lingyun Fairy Palace with anger suppressed.
The huge palace was very quiet. None of Lingyun's civil and military officials attended the court. The only people present were Empress Ouyang Ning and six figures at the back.
Ouyang Ning sat upright on the main seat, her beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed, her soft and smooth hands tightly grasping her dress, it can be seen that she is not at peace in her heart.
"Shangzun, they are coming!"
She just finished speaking.
Dozens of officials from the Ministry of Rites of the Kingdom of Light stepped into the Immortal Palace with great momentum.
The eight great envoys of light were waiting in a side hall next to the Immortal Palace. This was suggested by the Heavenly Envoy of Light, Divine Lord Tianguang, to let these people from the Ministry of Rites test the true strength of Lingyun Liushangzun first.
If Ling Yun would pay ten times the tribute as before, things would be easy.
As for their safety? Sorry, there is no shortage of these parasites in the Kingdom of God.
"Are you Empress Lingyun? You have poor aptitude, poor cultivation, and lack of aura. What a joke," an official from the Ministry of Rites came up and looked at Ouyang Ning who was sitting on the main seat arrogantly, and said with contempt.
"That's right, no wonder Ling Yun's hospitality and everything else are so bad. It would be strange if such a queen could be good."
"Empress Lingyun, do you know your crime? My Kingdom of Light is your suzerain, Lingyun, so we are your superiors. Now we are standing here and you are sitting there. Is this how you treat your superiors? I think you are clearly planning to rebel!"
The other officials from the Ministry of Rites also joined in the condemnation. They were already very angry, and when they got here and found that there was not even a place for them to sit, they were immediately thrown into disarray.
"Oh? Then what kind of hospitality do you want? Tell me about it."
Shi Hao came from behind, leading the way, followed by Lin Bai, Hua Qingyu, Lin Feng, Mu Shuixian, and Lin Anye.
Hmm? The officials of the Ministry of Rites were surprised for a moment by the sudden appearance of these six people, but then they all reacted.
Six people, six masters... They should be the Six Supreme Masters of Lingyun!
No! What the hell are these four little dolls?
Is this the Sixth Supreme Lord that made those people in the imperial court worried? The Sixth Supreme Lord that specially sent two Heaven-level Envoys of Light and six Earth-level Envoys of Light to deal with him?
You were all fooled!
