You were driven out of the capital at the start, and you ask me why I rebelled?

Chapter 354 Yang Zhen, Devastated

Ying Chen frowned slightly, knowing that it was the owner of the voice from earlier, the terrifying void behemoth.

Just now, he was only one step away from emerging from the void. If it weren't for Ying Chen, he would have already arrived in the outside world and begun his killing spree.

Ying Chen ruined his plans, so it would be strange if he didn't hate Ying Chen.

However, Ying Chen didn't care, as the Void Beast was generally unable to leave the void.

Otherwise, the Xuan Tian Realm would have long been dominated by void behemoths, and there would be no place for the other myriad races.

In the end, the void black hole healed, and the repaired space isolated the cold gaze of those purple eyes.

"Your Majesty the Qin Emperor, I never imagined you were a powerful cultivator at the Human Immortal Realm. You are truly remarkable for your age!"

Xuan Kongzi brought Li Sheng and Yang Zhen to Ying Chen's side and said with a smile.

No wonder Ying Chen was so confident. With such great strength, he could turn the tide no matter what happened.

"It's just a fluke!"

Ying Chen smiled slightly and said.

He didn't explain anything to Xuan Kongzi, maintaining an air of mystery in front of them was more advantageous to the Great Qin.

Seeing that Ying Chen seemed unwilling to discuss this topic further, Xuan Kongzi did not press the matter further.

If Xuan Kongzi hadn't known the true strength of the Qin Dynasty before, he wouldn't have paid so much attention to it.

However, now, the Great Qin has not only demonstrated its formidable strength, but has also slain a Spirit Race member at the Human Immortal Realm.

This was enough for him to take the Qin Dynasty seriously.

He saw in the Qin Dynasty the hope for the revival of humanity.

In the future, we must maintain close ties with the Great Qin and gradually guide it towards the Central Region, which is the center of the Xuan Tian Realm and the place where the struggles among all races are most intense.

He believed that if the Great Qin went to the Central Region, it would surely shine brightly.

However, this matter cannot be rushed; it must be done step by step.

"Alright, the crisis is over now. Please continue with me for the banquet!"

Ying Chen looked at the crowd behind him and spoke.

Naturally, everyone had no objection.

They followed Ying Chen back to the imperial palace.

This time, the banquet was attended by more than just the same people as before; almost all the civil and military officials of the Qin Dynasty were present.

"Gentlemen, today our Great Qin has three important guests: Elder Xuan from the ancestral court of the human race, Elder Yang, and Fellow Daoist Li, whom you have met before..."

"Furthermore, our Great Qin has slain a formidable enemy today, which is also worthy of celebration..."

"I have specially prepared this banquet today to welcome the powerful figures from our ancestral court and to celebrate the arrival of our meritorious officials..."

After all the dishes were served, Ying Chen raised the jade cup in his hand and said loudly.

The ministers of Qin, along with Xuan Kongzi and the other two, also raised their wine cups.

"Congratulations to the Emperor! Congratulations to the Great Qin Dynasty!"

The people of Qin said in unison.

Let us all strive together!

After Ying Chen finished speaking, he drank the spirit wine in his cup in one gulp.

Subsequently, the three masters below, including the civil and military officials of Qin and Xuan Kongzi, also drank the spiritual wine in their cups in one gulp.

"Alright, eat and drink as you please, don't worry about me!"

Seeing this, Ying Chen smiled and said.

Upon hearing Ying Chen's words, the Qin civil and military officials below relaxed and gathered in twos and threes to chat.

"Your Majesty, I have heard that there is a master of formations in Great Qin. I wonder if he is here. I would like to make his acquaintance."

Just then, Yang Zhen searched for Yuan Tiangang's figure in the crowd, but he had never seen Yuan Tiangang before and could not find him among so many people.

Left with no other option, he had to turn to Ying Chen for help.

"Oh? A master of formations?"

Ying Chen was somewhat puzzled, wondering what Yang Zhen was talking about.

"Previously, Li Sheng brought back a formation core. The moment I saw it, I was awestruck and decided to befriend it. Li Sheng said the formation core came from the Great Qin Dynasty, which is why I followed Elder Xuan to the Great Qin..."

Yang Zhen explained.

Upon hearing Yang Zhen's explanation, Ying Chen finally realized that Yang Zhen was so attached to a single array core created by Yuan Tiangang.

Then, Ying Chen looked towards where Yuan Tiangang was. At this moment, he did not realize that Yang Zhen was talking about him. He was drinking and talking with Sun Simiao.

"Minister Yuan!"

Ying Chen's voice rang out, and Yuan Tiangang finally raised his head and looked at Ying Chen.

"This is the array master you've been looking for, Yuan Tiangang, the Director of the Imperial Observatory of the Great Qin Dynasty..."

Ying Chen explained.

Yang Zhen's gaze fell on Yuan Tiangang, and he nodded slightly.

This person was enveloped in Daoist energy, clearly an extraordinary individual. No wonder he was able to become a formation master no less capable than me.

Yang Zhen thought to himself.

At the same time, Yuan Tiangang was also observing Yang Zhen. He didn't know much about Yang Zhen, only that he was from the ancestral court of the human race.

"Your Majesty, I have some questions for Supervisor Yuan. Would you mind if we could speak privately for a while?"

Yang Zhen looked at Ying Chen and said.

"You should ask Minister Yuan. If he agrees, then I naturally have no objection..."

Ying Chen smiled slightly.

Yuan Tiangang naturally had no objections, and he and Yang Zhen left the main hall and went outside.

After the two left, the banquet continued in the main hall, with toasts being exchanged and a peaceful atmosphere prevailing.

Even Li Sheng was forced to drink an unknown amount of wine by the enthusiastic Qin officials.

Neither of them used their spiritual power to counteract the effects of the alcohol, so Li Sheng's face turned bright red.

It was so different from his usual appearance that even Xuan Kongzi couldn't help but chuckle.

After an unknown amount of time, as the banquet was drawing to a close, Yang Zhen and Yuan Tiangang returned.

Yang Zhen seemed to have suffered a blow, looking dejected.

However, looking at Yuan Tiangang, he saw that the other party still had a normal expression and a smile on his face.

Everyone was incredibly curious about what the two had discussed that had caused Yang Zhen to become like this.
