You are already cultivating immortality, who would fight with you alone?

The man rolled up his sleeves, revealing an extremely hideous scar. He raised his head and looked at it carefully for a while, but there was no expression on his face.

"I have discussed this matter with my superior. The main conflict between my Tianya Sect and Liang State is what happened between me and Ye Xinglan thirty years ago."

He put down his arm and let his sleeve cover it again. "As for how to deal with Liu Yuntian, it depends on your attitude. If you want to fight, my sect will never hesitate. If you want to retreat, the upper sect will naturally mediate and let my sect retreat to the western border safely."

Then he stood up, glanced at the three people in front of the seats, and continued: "But you all know better than anyone what the faces of those people above are."

He pointed his index finger at the sky. "Do you really think anyone will help him? If he is willing to hand over the secret recipe, then it's not a bad idea, but that Liu didn't say a word about the secret recipe."

"Bang!" Li Feng slammed the table, "That's right!"

Then he walked in front of everyone, gesticulating and saying, "He holds the secret recipe. Even if he gets the salt and sugar, what can we do? If he gets unhappy, he can cut off the supply at any time. Won't we still beg him for help then?"

"Who are those above you? Second-rate sects, first-rate sects, and even holy places! Divine transformation, refining emptiness, great masters! Would they be willing to be strangled by a person who can't even build a foundation? Are they willing?"

At this time, Abbot Faming interrupted: "If he is really a mortal, can he return safely in Ye Ling's hands? According to Ye Ling, his compass can at least cross one territory! But now Liu Yuntian has appeared in the Northern Frontier in such a short time!"

"Alas~" Abbot Fa Ming sighed and continued,

"Although Ye Ling is only in the Jindan stage, I always feel scared when facing him. It's as if I have to fight him with real swords and guns. I feel really unsure. It's as if there is a strange eye on his body watching me."

At this point, Fa Ming shuddered unconsciously, "To be able to escape from such a freak, this Liu Yuntian is definitely not an ordinary person. If we underestimate him, we will be doomed!"

"It's not important." Wang Qing slowly closed his eyes. "Although Ye Ling is a bit weird, he is still young and doesn't know much about human affairs. Although Liu Yuntian is young, he is quite cunning. It's not surprising that he can escape back."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the teacups on the small table next to everyone were instantly filled with hot water. He raised his hand to signal everyone to take a seat.

He continued, "What Pavilion Master Li said is correct. What they meant is that we should first ask him for a batch of salt and sugar, and then sit back and watch the situation unfold. If we can win, they will come forward and threaten Liu Yuntian with the secret recipe."

Having said this, Master Wang Qing opened his eyes and scanned everyone with a sharp gaze, "If we lose, the High Sect will naturally not stand up for us, because this is our own fault!"

"Okay!" Li Feng clasped his hands together, feeling very happy. "As long as your leader agrees not to take action, how can we, the four sects and the Li Kingdom, join forces and lose to Liu Yuntian? The advantage is on me!!!"

But he was only happy for a moment, then hesitated again, "It's just... after winning, this secret recipe..."

"You don't have to think about the secret recipe." The leader of Tianya Sect lazily leaned back on the armchair, "We, the upper sect, are only a foil in this trip to the north. The person who presided over the meeting is a big shot from a first-class sect sent by the Holy Land."

"As for us... we are just pawns of the higher sects. If they are in a good mood, we can still eat some leftovers. If they divide the spoils unevenly... hehe."

Hearing this, Li Feng was furious. He clenched his fists and smashed on the armchair. It was unknown whether he did not use enough force or the chair was of good quality and it only shook a little.

Master Wang Qing naturally understood Li Feng's anger and tried to comfort him, "You don't have to be angry. Although we are blessed by the sect, we are no different from you. It's just the difference between a domestic dog and a wild dog."

"Whether we can eat meat or not, we still have to wait until the people above are full."

......

Northern border, the capital of Daliang.

"Princess Anyang is welcome to return to the court, and all the people should retreat!!!"

Liu Yuntian and the few remaining civil and military officials stood at the gate of the capital, forming two rows.

The moment Princess Anyang's carriage appeared, Chief Steward Jin started shouting at the top of his voice.

Liu Yuntian slung one arm over the hilt of the sword at his waist, the corner of his mouth slightly raised, and he couldn't help feeling happy as he watched the carriage getting closer and closer, and then he walked over.

The ministers behind him naturally did not dare to be negligent and followed Liu Yuntian closely.

"Uu——"

The coachman saw Liu Yuntian and his group approaching and quickly pulled the reins to stop the carriage.

Liu Yuntian stood aside, bowed slightly, and greeted, "Your Highness, are you tired from the journey?"

At this time, the curtain inside the chariot was pulled open from the inside, revealing the face of a middle-aged woman. She smiled gently, "It must be Tian'er. When godmother left, you were still in swaddling clothes. I never thought you would grow up to be so handsome now."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yuntian raised his eyebrows and his eyes dimmed. He thought to himself, he started playing the emotional card right from the start?

When a new emperor takes office, he either shows weakness in order to plan for the future, or demonstrates and suppresses powerful officials.

Don't show weakness, don't demonstrate, just build relationships directly...

This means he has absorbed all of Ye Xinglan's lessons.

It seems that nothing that happened in the capital could be hidden from the other party...Does she have spies in the capital?

Thinking of this, he subconsciously turned his head and glanced at the ministers.

At this moment, all the ministers bowed deeply, and their expressions could not be seen.

What a female fox...

"Your Highness, you are joking. A country cannot be without a monarch. I am welcoming the princess back to the capital this time for the purpose of ascending the throne. There is a difference between monarch and minister. How dare I discuss this with Your Highness as mother and son?"

Princess Anyang just covered her mouth and chuckled, "It's strange to say, Sister Bai had no milk after she gave birth to you. Your father was very distressed because of this. He searched the streets for milk for you. It just so happened that godmother had just given birth to Ling'er and had plenty of milk."

Then she showed a nostalgic expression, "I raised you and Ling'er together, and only returned to the fiefdom after you were both weaned. I have such feelings for you that I have already regarded you as my own child!"

After saying this, she revealed an angry expression, "If Tian'er doesn't recognize me as her godmother, then I will just go back to my fiefdom!"

Oh? Liu Yuntian raised her head and glanced at the other person with interest. She also knew about the conflict between herself and Ye Ling.

Is there something hidden in his words? Does he want Ye Ling and I to reconcile, otherwise he won't ascend the throne?

"What are you talking about, Godmother? Yuntian is just a little flattered. If Godmother is not too tired, we can go directly to the altar and prepare for the coronation ceremony."

Liu Yuntian showed a gentle smile.

Princess Anyang nodded in satisfaction, "Alright, state affairs are more important, so let's just set up the altar!"
