Chapter 445: Suzerain State
In half a day, Chen Futu inspected the other properties of the Brahma Tower and finally took two bronze-armored corpses back to the palace for research.
Xuanyuan Rong said, "The bronze-armored corpse can also be considered a weapon. This is the secret technique for controlling the bronze-armored corpse, which was found in the residence of King Yin."
According to the notes, the bronze-armored corpse fears anything extremely masculine and powerful. Unfortunately, the secret technique for creating bronze-armored corpses is a secret technique passed down in the Brahma Tower. Once the system upgrade is complete, perhaps I can try to buy one. After that, I can kill the Martial Venerable and refine it into a bronze-armored corpse.
After reading the notes, Chen Futu asked Xuan Yuanrong, "Does the fear of the most masculine and intense forces mean that they cannot appear in the desert?"
Xuanyuan Rong shook his head and said, "That's not the case. Although the Copper Armor Corpse is a corpse, it is afraid of the extreme yang of the Imperial Dragon Qi. In fact, there is also a naturally formed puppet in the desert called the Drought Demon."
Chen Futu was greatly surprised, "A drought demon!"
"Yes, countless people have died in the desert. Not to mention the countries that were wiped out by the desert itself, there are countless powerful people who died in the desert. The dehydrated corpses became mindless puppets under very special circumstances. They are the most terrifying disaster in the depths of the desert, even more powerful than the black sandstorm."
When the drought demon was mentioned, Xuanyuan Rong's expression turned slightly strange.
Chen Futu listened with a frown, increasingly suspecting something was amiss.
Because Xuanyuan Rong himself had problems. In the original world, Xuanyuan refers to the descendants of Emperor Xuanyuan. Legend has it that during the great war, Chiyou invited the Wind God and the Rain Master. In order to deal with them, the Yellow Emperor summoned his daughter Ba to quell the wind and rain. In the end, Ba was unable to return to heaven because her spiritual power was exhausted. She eventually became the Drought Demon, and wherever she went, the land was scorched for thousands of miles.
The original world and this martial arts plane have some similarities. The legendary drought demon has materialized in this world, and its appearance in the Black Sand Sea is quite reasonable, because the Black Sand Sea is truly a barren wasteland. In addition, with the existence of Xuanyuan Rong, a member of the Xuanyuan clan, it feels like the sand sea is hiding a great secret.
I really hope to encounter a drought demon on my way back, capture it, and take it back to the Central Plains to study it properly.
Soon it was evening, and the Peacock King set up a banquet in the East Palace.
Chen Futu is the main character, so he has not appeared yet.
In the side hall, you can see many leaders arriving with gifts, carrying them out in large carts, including various kinds of jade and agate, spices, gold and antiques, as well as animal hides and horns, special products of the Western Regions.
These things are priceless. Chen Futu was cheated out of so much money by the system before, so he doesn't feel so bad about it now.
Moreover, the Shi family also came. Shi Huolong brought four rare and exotic wild animals that looked like Pallas's cats, but were larger and cuter.
"This is a fine item. I'll take it back and give it to my four beloved concubines to play with."
Chen Futu pondered what gifts to bring to Qin Liangyu and Li Xiuning.
When the guests arrived, the atmosphere in the main hall became somewhat oppressive. The Peacock King increased the number of guards outside the hall, including some Martial Emperor level experts. Anyone with discerning eyes could see that tonight was a trap.
When the Peacock King appeared, the crowd cheered.
As soon as he sat down, a leader of a powerful force stood up and asked, "Your Majesty, we have heard that the Great Sage Emperor has eradicated the Brahma Tower. This is truly a cause for celebration."
The Peacock King said indifferently, "The Brahma Tower has indeed been destroyed, all thanks to the assistance of His Majesty the Great Sage Emperor. From now on, my Peacock Kingdom will no longer be controlled by the Brahma Tower."
"May I ask where the Great Sage Emperor is?"
Another old man inquired but did not rise. His expression was gloomy, and he was a high-ranking member of the royal family.
The Peacock King said, "His Majesty the Holy Emperor is still resting and will arrive shortly."
"Hmph, at such a fine banquet, how could he, as a guest from abroad, be so presumptuous?"
The old man was dissatisfied and made no attempt to hide his hostility.
Others dared not agree, keeping their heads down and their eyes darting around, while only a small number nodded in agreement.
"How dare you offend the Great Sage Emperor, who is so noble?"
The Holy Maiden led Bai Chen into the arena. She had changed back into a jet-black cloud-patterned outfit, exuding a murderous aura.
The old man raised an eyebrow and said, "Who do we have here? It's Her Highness the Holy Maiden. Why are you here in my ancient kingdom instead of staying in the desert?"
"King Yu, I've been giving you too much face, how dare you speak to my lord like that!"
Bai Chen was extremely annoyed. Was it because the desert had been silent for too long, or did this old man think the desert was no longer capable of wielding a sword?
How dare a trashy dynasty yell at the Holy Maiden? Do they really think the Peacock Kingdom is the Great Xia Empire?
Upon seeing this, King Yu rose and reluctantly bowed to the Holy Maiden, saying, "We welcome the Holy Maiden's presence, but if His Majesty wishes to discuss state affairs, we hope the Holy Maiden will not overstep her bounds."
The saintess scoffed, "I came here to hear about state affairs."
Ignoring the unpleasant looks on some people's faces, she walked straight to the reserved seat at the head of the table and sat down. Bai Chen stood behind her and scanned everyone present with his sharp eyes, like those of a hawk.
Aside from the people of Great Xia, he fears no one at the moment. If anyone dares to spout nonsense again, he will kill them.
Shi Huolong kept his head down and didn't dare to breathe. The others had the same reaction, not daring to get themselves into trouble.
The desert is more terrifying than the temple. If they go there and jackals and tigers and leopards come, they'll accept it.
The saintess said to the Peacock King, "Let's not waste time and get straight to the point."
"it is good."
The Peacock King stood up and swept his gaze over everyone. "Today, I have only one purpose in calling you all here: for the Great Xia to help me quell the rebellion. Therefore, I wish to honor the Great Xia as my suzerain state and unite the surrounding tribes to bestow upon His Majesty the title of Heavenly Khan."
The moment the words "Heavenly Khan" were uttered, the Eastern King's Palace fell silent, followed by gasps of astonishment.
Even Chen Futu, who was watching the play in the side hall, was stunned. "Heavenly Khan?"
The peacock king, sculpted from clay, was quite adept at flattery, as if the system had instilled some special knowledge in him.
"absurd!"
The Feather King was the first to slam his fist on the table and stand up, glaring angrily at the Peacock King. "Does Your Majesty know what you're saying?!"
"Yes, how can that be allowed?"
"That's outrageous."
There were many whispers around.
Even if it's just to repay a debt of gratitude, a large amount of gold and silver would be enough. Why should we respect the Celestial Empire and stoop to serve it?
"What? Haven't I made myself clear enough!"
The Peacock King waved his sleeves and gripped his sword, his posture suggesting he was about to kill someone to establish his authority.
The Feather King trembled violently. "This is utterly absurd! You are the ruler of an ancient kingdom, how can you act as someone's lackey!"
"My mind is made up, who dares to disobey!"
The Peacock King was no longer the same person; he was incredibly powerful. As soon as he shouted, the Imperial Guards and Martial Emperors outside the palace all rushed forward, and the atmosphere in the entire Eastern Palace instantly plummeted to freezing point.
The saintess sneered, "King Yu, I advise you not to act foolishly. You're getting on in years; you should go home and retire."
"Let me go home, and dream!"
Most of the people from the Western Regions were hot-tempered, and the Feather King was especially stubborn. He kicked over the banquet table in front of him, walked up to the main hall, and shouted, "Everyone has seen it! The Peacock King wants to be a dog for the people of the Central Plains! I, the Feather King, hereby swear that our ancient kingdom will never submit to the lowly people of the Central Plains!"
"you wanna die!"
Bai Chen then made his move!
