Inside the Changsheng Hall of the Dajing Dynasty.
The morning court was in session, with hundreds of officials standing in two rows, civil and military.
At this mont, General Ying Lan walked to the center.
"Your Majesty, the remnants of the Great Kun Kingdom have been eradicated, and the Dajing Kingdom is now stable. I ask for your permission to pacify the five kingdoms and establish the prosperity of the Dajing Dynasty," Ying Lan said according to protocol.
Sitting on the throne, Zhongshan, with his hidden identity, looked at Ying Lan and smiled slightly. "The Dajing Dynasty has just stabilized, and the hearts of the people are still uncertain. Let's take so ti to build up our forces and nurture the people."
"But..." Ying Lan imdiately exclaid.
At that mont, Zhongshan, seated on the throne, suddenly frowned and looked outside the hall.
"Dismissed," Zhongshan said imdiately.
Dismissed? All the courtiers looked at Zhongshan in astonishnt. What was happening? How could he dismiss the court just like that, without any warning?
Everyone felt as if they had misheard.
"Ying Lan, heed my command," Zhongshan suddenly called out.
"Here," Ying Lan responded respectfully. Though he didn't know what was happening, he could tell from his uncle's sudden change in deanor that sothing significant was occurring.
"Lead all the Forbidden Army to guard the Imperial City. Anyone who dares to enter must be killed," Zhongshan quickly ordered, rising from his seat.
Upon hearing Zhongshan's words, everyone was taken aback, wondering what had happened to the emperor.
"Yes," Ying Lan imdiately obeyed.
Then, the courtiers filed out of the hall, and Ying Lan organized the Forbidden Army to guard the newly constructed Imperial City.
With the hall empty, Zhongshan sat on the throne. With a flip of his hand, he took out the Fangtian Jade Seal and the Scroll of Gods, placing them in a hidden compartnt. After so thought, he cut his hand, leaving a bowl of blood. Then, he glanced around, his figure swaying slightly as he turned into a shadow and sank into the ground, swiftly speeding towards a certain direction, far away from the Changsheng Hall.
Two hours later, within the Imperial City, there was silence. Everyone had been arranged to leave the city, even Wei Taizhong, Zhongzheng, and other close confidants of the emperor, who were now waiting outside the city with puzzled expressions, wondering what the emperor was up to.
Outside the Imperial City, as Ying Lan continued her patrol, all the generals couldn't help but show their admiration when they saw this female general. Ying Lan, the commander of the Second Legion of the Dajing Dynasty, not only had her military rank but also demonstrated her abilities during her command this past year, which were no less than those of Lin Xiao, the commander of the First Legion.
After Ying Lan finished her inspection and arrived at the South Gate, she coincidentally encountered Wei Taizhong leading a group of eunuchs waiting outside the palace.
Seeing Ying Lan approaching, Wei Taizhong's previously worried expression suddenly turned into a gentle smile.
"General Ying Lan," Wei Taizhong imdiately greeted her.
"Oh, Senior Wei?" Ying Lan looked a little surprised. After more than a year of getting to know each other, Ying Lan could also see Wei Taizhong's goodwill towards her, especially his goodwill towards her.
"General Ying Lan, the Wan Nian Red Coral Screen you ntioned last ti has been arranged. It can be delivered to your residence at your convenience," Wei Taizhong said kindly.
"Really? Thank you so much, Senior Wei," Ying Lan said happily.
Seeing Ying Lan's joy, Wei Taizhong also showed a satisfied smile. As long as Ying Lan was happy, everything was worth it.
During the conversation between Englan and Wei Taizhong, suddenly three n and a wolf appeared out of nowhere in the Longevity Hall of the Great Loong Dynasty. Leading them was Zhongshan, accompanied by the Wolf Clan Supre, the Blue Cloud Wolf General, and the little wolf, Xianxian.
Upon arriving at the Longevity Hall, the Blue Cloud Wolf General remained kneeling, showing no intention of rising. Zhongshan swiftly approached a hidden compartnt, first storing a vial of blood in a storage bracelet before retrieving the Square Heaven Jade Seal and the Divine Decree. He kept the Square Heaven Jade Seal and held onto the Divine Decree.
The Wolf Clan Supre glanced around and then turned to Zhongshan.
"How have you arranged your subordinates?" The Wolf Clan Supre asked with slight surprise, noting that the people outside the imperial city seed to have just left. What was going on?
"Forgive , senior. This is a secret thod I have to ensure my safety," Zhongshan replied, neither denying nor revealing the existence of the hidden body.
"Oh?" The Wolf Clan Supre looked at Zhongshan with increasing interest.
"Senior, please take a look at the Divine Decree," Zhongshan said.
Zhongshan slowly unfolded the Divine Decree, revealing the colorful cloud patterns to the Wolf Clan Supre.
As the Divine Decree unfolded, the Wolf Clan Supre fixed his gaze on Zhongshan's na.
"Zhongshan? Huh?" The Wolf Clan Supre read Zhongshan's na and was suddenly surprised.
"Is this your seal?" The Wolf Clan Supre asked, sowhat astonished, as he looked at the large seal.
"Entrusted by heaven, shall live long and prosper!" Eight characters froze the expression of the Wolf Clan Supre.
Zhongshan looked at the Wolf Clan Supre with slight confusion.
"Great Loong, clearly just a dynasty, so why does your jade seal bear the imprint of an empire? No, no. Your courtiers are weak, and the fortune of the imperial city is ager. How could it be the seal of an empire? Why does this seal emit the aura of an empire?" The Wolf Clan Supre said, puzzled, as he gazed at the large seal.
Hearing the Wolf Clan Supre's words, Zhongshan's eyes lit up slightly as he imdiately thought of the Nine Dragons Seizing Pearl on the Square Heaven Jade Seal. That red bead that brought him here must be the cause.
"Let see your Square Heaven Jade Seal," the Wolf Clan Supre said to Zhongshan.
Zhongshan shook his head slightly. "The Square Heaven Jade Seal is a symbol of the dynasty. Besides , no one else can touch it."
The Wolf Clan Supre was slightly surprised.
"Hahaha." The Wolf Clan Supre suddenly burst into laughter.
"Alright, I won't take a look. I look forward to your Great Loong Dynasty," the Wolf Clan Supre said with a hearty smile.
Hearing the Wolf Clan Supre's words, Zhongshan breathed a sigh of relief. He had been nervous just now.
The Wolf Clan Supre beca increasingly interested in Zhongshan. Initially, when he saw Zhongshan's root bone, he was sowhat dissatisfied. However, since Xianxian had bestowed the seed, he naturally had to fulfill his promise. Moreover, Zhongshan had saved Xianxian's life.
During the assessnt of Zhongshan, the Wolf Clan Supre found that despite Zhongshan's extrely poor cultivation, he always managed to surprise him. There was sothing peculiar about him that even he couldn't understand. However, not understanding was fine. It was even better to have so mystery.
"Yes, senior," Zhongshan said.
"Do you know the purpose of the Wolf Clan Covenant?" the Wolf Clan Supre asked.
"I don't know, senior," Zhongshan replied.
"Establish it first," the Wolf Clan Supre said with a smile.
With a wave of his hand, a huge scroll suddenly appeared in midair. It was shaped sowhat like the Divine Decree but lacked its splendor. The scroll was translucent and floated in front of Zhongshan, exuding a mysterious aura.
On the back of the scroll were five large characters.
Wolf Clan Covenant.
The five characters were extrely peculiar, with three rows of text on the front. The first row read: "Yutang, Kong Deming." The second row: "Yuan, Huang Jian." The third row: "Zuo, Ruyi." Each row was inscribed with strange red characters, resembling the na of a country at the top and a na below, with a large seal imprint over each na. The colors of the three nas looked like blood inscriptions.
"Establishing a covenant; the upper part is the na of the country, and the lower part is the na, with a seal imprint," the Supre Wolf Clan said.
"Is this an established covenant?" Zhongshan asked, taking a deep breath.
"Yes, these three, tens of thousands of years ago, signed a covenant with the Wolf Clan, and eventually all beca celestial dynasties, naly the Yutang Celestial Dynasty, the Great Yuan Celestial Dynasty, and the Great Zuo Celestial Dynasty. However, ti leaves no trace, and everything turns to nothingness. Only my Wolf Clan still exists," the Supre Wolf Clan explained.
Zhongshan took a deep breath upon hearing this, while Xianxian, the little wolf beside him, kept nudging him as if urging him to hurry.
Zhongshan quickly pricked his finger, letting his blood mix with the hidden body's blood, and then began to write on it.
Guo, Zhongshan.
In the fourth row: Guo, Zhongshan.
In a flick of his hand, Zhongshan took out the Square Heaven Jade Seal and pressed it on top, but his palm covered the dragon pearl on it.
The Square Heaven Jade Seal didn't need ink; it seed as if its ink was gathered fortune.
"Boom!"
When the jade seal touched the Wolf Clan Covenant, a loud noise erupted, shaking the sky above the imperial city as if thunder had struck the ground.
"Boom!"
Everyone looked up in horror, not knowing what had happened.
Zhongshan sealed the docunt with the large seal and then put it away. On the Wolf Clan Covenant, there was a crimson seal, much redder than the other three, even brighter than the characters Zhongshan had written with his blood.
Seeing the seal, the Supre Wolf Clan beca increasingly astonished. What kind of jade seal was this?
At that mont, Zhongshan suddenly felt as if his body had connected with sothing.
Taking a deep breath, the Supre Wolf Clan looked at Zhongshan with slight surprise, then waved his hand and collected the rolled-up Wolf Clan Covenant.
"How does it feel?" the Supre Wolf Clan asked with a gentle smile.
"It's a strange feeling, as if my spirit is connected to sothing," Zhongshan said softly, taking out the Divine Decree. On the Divine Decree, after the crown prince's na, another row of text appeared.
National Beast: Wolf.
Satisfied with what Zhongshan had done, the Supre Wolf Clan nodded gently.
With a gentle touch, the Supre Wolf Clan pointed his finger, emitting a green light directly at Zhongshan.
Seeing the green light, Zhongshan reached out and grasped it. The light suddenly disappeared into his palm, and Zhongshan closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, Zhongshan's face showed a look of horror, then he respectfully said to the Supre Wolf Clan, "Thank you, Supre."
"Don't you want to give it a try?" the Supre Wolf Clan asked with a smile.
"Yes," Zhongshan nodded, putting away the Divine Decree.
Walking to the center of the hall, Zhongshan's right palm trembled slightly as he forced out a drop of blood.
Quickly, Zhongshan pressed his right palm against the ground and suddenly exclaid, "Heaven and Earth, summoning!"
