Chapter 1316: Chapter 1287: Internal Meeting of the Palace of the Nether King
The Hongmeng Order from Hongmeng Pavilion is issued to the strong warriors and sects of the hidden world.
The intent is to prevent these people from treating it with indifference or even ignoring it altogether.
Although in the eyes of many martial artists, Hongmeng Pavilion is a high-status entity, for some of the old guys, it’s just that.
For these hidden world strong warriors, only power is the sole measure.
And now, the Hongmeng Pavilion clearly does not have the power to move them.
At most, there are just a few old guys with similar strength. If they don’t want to go, what can the Hongmeng Pavilion do about it?
But the Hongmeng Order is different.
It is an agreement.
An agreement signed by these senior strong warriors many years ago. Only they know the specifics of the content.
But no matter the agreement, they all stipulate that unless it’s a particularly significant event, the Hongmeng Order should not be issued.
This is also why Dai Ren was surprised when he learned that Luo Tianxiao issued the Hongmeng Order.
Because even he had almost forgotten about its existence.
Of course, for other forces or the strong warriors who have risen in recent years, there was no need to send a Hongmeng Order, because even if it is sent, they might not know what it means.
And to these forces and strong warriors, Hongmeng Pavilion has sent several messages in succession.
These forces include the Palace of the Nether King!
“What on earth is the Hongmeng Pavilion doing?”
In the Nether Army Base, a group of people sat around a table.
The people present were the high rankers of the Nether Army, including the presence of Lin Yi and several others.
The four grandfathers also sat at the table.
As for the allies of the Palace of the Nether King, with the help of the Palace during this period, they have successfully established themselves outside and no longer need to reside in the Nether Army Base.
So this time, there were no other outsiders present, with the only exception being Zi Zhao.
This guy has entirely integrated his marketplace under the Palace of the Nether King since the last battle in Kunlun, betting all his assets on the Palace.
He is a businessman, but also a smart man.
Zi Zhao is well aware that at this time, with Li Chen not around, if he can still stand firmly on the side of the Palace of the Nether King, the people of the Palace should clearly understand his intention.
This guy has decided to go all in.
“No matter what they intend, this matter must be quite significant,” Zi Zhao slowly said.
Looking at the people at the table, Zi Zhao’s expression was somewhat serious.
“The Hongmeng Pavilion represents the official organization of Huaxia, and generally, their every move must be handled with extreme caution, as their actions are watched by other martial artists. Once they lose their impartiality, this official organization’s meaning is lost.”
Tapping on the table, Zi Zhao analyzed calmly: “And this time, sending us three messages in succession already has somewhat of a coercive tone. If it were an ordinary situation, the Hongmeng Pavilion certainly would not do this. Not to mention last time, that old fox Luo Tianxiao even took a Realm Breaking Pill from us!”
“So this matter must be quite significant, I believe, it is appropriate to make a visit,” Zi Zhao finally expressed his opinion.
“I’ll go.” Catherine first stated: “I am most skilled at handling diplomatic matters like these, so it would be most suitable for me to go.”
Hearing Catherine speak, everyone nodded, indeed, Catherine was the most adept at interpersonal relationships.
“This matter may be more complex than it appears,” Zi Zhao again furrowed his brow and said: “According to the information, not only us, but representatives and strong warriors from all the forces of the Huaxia Martial World will likely attend, possibly making it more grand than last time’s Martial Arts Conference.”
“Of course, I have no objections to Catherine the Nether Envoy attending.” Somewhat apologetically nodding towards Catherine, Zi Zhao continued: “I just think that if she goes alone, it might make the Palace of the Nether King seem too weak?”
The crowd looked at Catherine. Indeed, while Catherine was exceedingly intelligent, her martial strength was indeed lacking, and in the martial artist world, the one with the strongest fists is the one whose words carry weight.
At this moment, another voice unexpectedly spoke up.
“I’ll go too.”
Turning somewhat surprised in the direction of the voice, everyone was astonished to discover that the speaker was Lin Yi.
“How to say, I am also the clearly named wife on your Nether King marriage certificate. Moreover, I haven’t participated much in his affairs before, so I feel I should make this trip.”
Saying this, Lin Yi looked toward Zi Zhao: “I think, with my cultivation, I won’t be looked down upon, right?”
Recently, Lin Yi’s cultivation has broken through to Black Rope, and with the powerful techniques personally taught by Li Chen and the Mystic Star Sect techniques from Wenxing, even Zi Zhao, though Crowd Harmony, does not dare to claim he can certainly win against Lin Yi.
“This shouldn’t be a problem then, but if judging by last time’s situation…” Zi Zhao nodded, inexplicably, he had already unconsciously assumed the persona of the new strategist of the Palace of the Nether King.
“I’ll go too.” A faint voice came through.
The crowd looked towards the speaking elder, and couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Bai Haoyue, Li Chen’s great grandfather, and the most top-tier strong warrior in the entire Palace of the Nether King. In the whole Palace, no one can command him, and no one dares to, not even Li Chen can manage that.
So even Zi Zhao hadn’t considered him, but at this moment, hearing Bai Haoyue take the initiative to speak, Zi Zhao too secretly breathed a sigh of relief, totally at ease.
“Since Senior Bai is willing to go, then there should be absolutely no problem.” Zi Zhao nodded.
Zhao is more familiar with the affairs of the martial artist world than most of them, so even someone as smart as Catherine didn’t speak out, only listening to Zi Zhao’s opinions the whole time.
Catherine and Li Chen share the same thought; since they have accepted the other party, then it’s best to be open about it, keeping things hidden only makes both parties uncomfortable, and that’s exactly what she did.
And now, Zi Zhao has proven to be of great use; Catherine felt a bit grateful for having personally agreed to fully accept Zi Zhao at first.
“To ensure the safety of the base, I suggest that the accompanying personnel should not be too weak either.” Zi Zhao spoke up.
At this moment, there was suddenly a voice from beside the main door.
“I’ll go.”
A tall man, tanned slightly black and with a noticeably more resolute expression, appeared in everyone’s view.
Seeing this man, including Bai Haoyue, several elders in the conference room simultaneously showed smiles on their faces.
“Zhong Tian, you’re back.”
