The people of the ancestral land had never suffered such injustice, so they were naturally extremely angry. If they had not cared about Jiang Chen's identity, they would have become furious.
Even so, they all had sullen faces, their expressions were extremely ugly, and they were obviously trying their best to suppress the anger in their hearts.
Xia Zicheng was not angry. As a prince, his mind was not too bad if not top-notch. So, as soon as he saw this situation, he knew that he had suffered a terrible disaster.
"Your Highness, what is going on? Do we have to wait any longer?" Beside Xia Zicheng, the envoy who came with him asked in a low voice.
Xia Zicheng shook his head and whispered: "Can't you see it yet? Your Majesty is dissatisfied with the people coming from the ancestral land, so you deliberately used seclusion as an excuse to let them go for a while."
"As for us, we were unlucky enough to meet people from our ancestral land and came together, so we enjoyed the same treatment as them."
Now Xia Zicheng also has a headache, but when faced with this situation, he has no other choice but to call out bad luck. Now, he only hopes that the grievances between Jiang Chen and Zu Di will not involve him.
On the body.
He is just a little prince. In his eyes, whether it is his ancestral land or the Jiang family, they are all giants that he cannot afford to offend. If it were his father, he would be almost the same.
Glancing at the people from his ancestral land who were looking increasingly ugly, Xia Zicheng burst into tears in his heart: "It's unlucky, it's unlucky, why did I accept such a fatal mission?"
At this moment, Yihai walked in and said to Xia Zicheng: "Prince of the Xia family, my young master has left the confinement and wants to see you."
Xia Zicheng was agitated when he heard this. He stood up quickly and said to Yihai: "Your Majesty has left the seclusion and wants to see me? That's good, I'll be there right away."
While talking, Xia Zicheng did not forget to tidy up his clothes. When he was tidied up and felt that it would not be rude, he followed Yihai to Cangtian Palace.
There is a great etiquette, called Xia!
Any family with a history attaches great importance to etiquette, let alone a former royal family like the Xia family, who will definitely not be rude.
Seeing that Yihai was about to leave without even looking at them, the man from the ancestral land stood up directly and said to him: "Commander Yihai, since your Majesty has been released from seclusion, why don't you come to see us?"
Yihai said without looking back: "I don't know, I'm just following orders. Young Master only said that he wanted to see the prince of the Xia family, not you. Just wait here with peace of mind. Young Master will see you sooner or later."
After saying that, Yihai took Xia Zicheng and left.
"That's too much bullying. He clearly doesn't take us seriously."
"That's right, that's right. It's not like we've never seen other royal family members behave politely in the past. Which one is as arrogant as him and doesn't take seniors like us at all?"
"Since he doesn't want to see us, let's leave! Take away the rewards from the ancestral land and make him happy in vain."
As soon as Yihai left, someone in the hall shouted angrily. Some even shouted and left with the rewards from the ancestral land.
Of course, Jiang Chen didn't know any of this, and even if he did, he didn't care. At this moment, he was reading King Xia's letter.
In the letter, King Xia first expressed his apology and stated the punishment for the Xiahou family...
Well, these are not important. Jiang Chen didn't look carefully. His attention was all focused on the end of the letter, which was a gift list and an apology from the Xiahou family.
How much divine gold, how much elixir, how much ore... these are all trivial details, not important. What is important is the last gift, the black bird feathers.
Black Bird, this is the totem of Dashang. Jiang Chen is not surprised that the Xia family has a Black Bird totem.
The Shang Dynasty destroyed the Xia Dynasty without paying any price. The Shang Dynasty and the Xia Dynasty fought several times, and it would be normal for both sides to have treasures in each other's hands.
Jiang Chen doesn't care about the grudges between these two families. After all, these two families are still one family. They are both the blood of Emperor Xuanyuan. How to fight is the Ji family's own family business.
Now, Jiang Chen only knows that once he has obtained this black bird feather, he has collected seven innate feathers and can start preparing to refine the innate spiritual treasure Five Fire Seven Bird Fan.
This is a real innate spiritual treasure, one of the highest quality. It is not the fake and shoddy product that Jiang Chen refined earlier. It is just an innate magic weapon.
After accepting the apology, Jiang Chen said to Xia Zicheng: "I see that you are also a Golden Immortal. How do you rank among the seventy-two princes and princesses of Great Xia?"
In the Great Xia Dynasty, there were seventy-two members of the royal family with the title of princess or prince, and even more without titles. Of course, not all of these people were the descendants of the Xia King.
The inheritance system of the Xia Dynasty was carried out from brother to brother and from son to son after the father's death. This means that not only the Xia King's heirs are eligible to inherit the throne, but his younger brother and his younger brother's heirs are also eligible to inherit.
It can even be said that all the children of the Xia Dynasty royal family are qualified to inherit the throne. Therefore, whenever there is a genius in the royal family, he will be named a prince and given the qualification to compete for the throne.
The seventy-two princes and princesses are the most outstanding children of the Great Xia royal family, and only a few of them are the sons of King Xia.
And Xia Zicheng is one of the few descendants of King Xia, with a distinguished status.
Although he didn't know what Jiang Chen meant, Xia Zicheng still replied truthfully: "Reporting to your Majesty, Zicheng is incompetent and can barely squeeze into the top ten among the brothers."
Nodding, Jiang Chen replied: "The top ten are indeed not enough. There are many geniuses from the human race, and there are even more geniuses from the Three Realms like stars. You can't even rank first in Daxia. If you can compete with them in the future, the throne of Daxia
, I’m afraid I won’t have a chance with you.”
Hearing this, Xia Zicheng fell silent.
What Jiang Chen said is correct, but as the tenth person, it is indeed impossible for him to inherit the throne. Those who can inherit the throne must be at least the top three. Otherwise, why would they compete with the geniuses of other races?
Daxia is just a small part of the land, not all of the Three Realms. The enemies of the King of Xia are not the citizens, but the immortal overlords and foreign giants who conquer China from east to west.
Therefore, the successor of King Xia must be strong. Not only the genius of the Xia Dynasty, but also the genius of the human race. Just like Jiang Chen in front of him.
Xia Zicheng knew in his heart that when it comes to genius, Jiang Chen in front of him is the real top genius. He has only practiced Taoism for more than a hundred years and has become a rare master in the three realms. Even King Xia dare not offend him.
The real first genius in the world!
Suddenly, Jiang Chen raised his hand and shot out a divine light, which sank into Xia Zicheng's sea of consciousness.
This is……
Shocked in his heart, Xia Zicheng was about to speak when he heard Jiang Chen say: "This is a ray of my true meaning of ancient martial arts. If you can refine it, not only will your strength be greatly improved, but you will also be able to take this opportunity to break through to Taiyi in one fell swoop."
The realm of golden immortals.”
"In this way, there will only be a handful of people in Daxia who can defeat you."
Xia Zicheng tried to probe into it with his spiritual thoughts, and he really felt a kind of supreme will for man to conquer heaven. Immediately, he excitedly bowed to Jiang Chen: "Thank you for your help."
With this martial will, his strength will change, and he will truly have the capital to compete for the throne. How can he not be excited?
Jiang Chen, on the other hand, acted very indifferently, waved his hand, and said casually: "Nothing to thank you for, because I saw that you can still be cultivated, so I gave you a martial arts will. If you can't be cultivated, I will give you the martial arts will."
You, you can’t understand it either.”
Giving Xia Zicheng a martial arts will is nothing more than a small thing for Jiang Chen. It is a chess piece he laid casually and formed a good relationship. If Xia Zicheng really becomes the King of Xia in the future, then he will get more rewards.
.
After waving his hand, Jiang Chen wanted to let Xia Zicheng leave, but at this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside.
Frowning in displeasure, Jiang Chen took a look and saw that the people from the ancestral land were clashing with the guards, as if they were trying to force their way in.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen was furious and couldn't help shouting: "You're so presumptuous!"
While speaking, a powerful force burst out from his body, drawing everyone from the ancestral land outside into the hall.
Just hearing a few pops, everyone in the ancestral land fell from mid-air and hit the smooth floor without any image.
Before they could get up, Jiang Chen said coldly: "Is this the rule taught to you by the ancestral land? Breaking into other people's palaces without the owner's permission?"
Without answering Jiang Chen's question, the man from the ancestral land shouted: "Jiang Chen, you are so brave, how dare you disrespect us? Do you know who we are?"
"We are the envoys of the ancestral land and come to represent the will of the ancestral land. If you disrespect us, you are trampling on the majesty of the ancestral land."
At this point, someone else shouted: "Hurry up and apologize to us, otherwise, we will report what happened today to the senior officials of the ancestral land and let you punish you severely."
"As for your reward, it's gone. It's your punishment for being disrespectful to us."
Hearing them shouting here, Jiang Chen was stunned. He was not scared, but shocked. He had known for a long time that because of the superiority of the ancestral land, the messengers of the ancestral land developed a arrogant character.
Indeed, no matter where they go, there are people supporting them and vying to please them. Over time, it is normal for them to gradually lose themselves and become arrogant.
But Jiang Chen never expected that they could be so arrogant.
Punish Jiang Chen and confiscate his rewards? Do you really think that the ancestral land is owned by their family and they can do whatever they want? Where are their brains, eaten by monsters?
I really don’t know what to say, and I don’t even have the desire to complain.
Seeing their attitude, Jiang Chen didn't bother to talk nonsense with them. He took action directly, activated the Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Pagoda, lowered a ray of divine light, enveloped everyone, and was about to suppress them all.
Everyone in the ancestral land did not expect that Jiang Chen would suddenly take action. They had been to many places, and they had never seen such a bold being.
Therefore, facing Jiang Chen's attack, they were stunned at first, and then they realized what had happened, and immediately used their magical powers to struggle desperately.
"Jiang Chen, you are so brave, you dare to attack us. Do you still have the ancestral land and the human race in your eyes?"
"If you dare to suppress us, you are dead. The ancestral land will not let you go. Even if you are a descendant of Emperor Yan, you will not be a descendant of the royal family."
"You will definitely pay the price!"
"Ahhhh——"
Roar after roar came from the mouths of these people in the ancestral land, carrying astonishing anger that made the void distort.
Daluo Jinxian, these six people from the ancestral land are all Daluo Jinxian. Powerful power spurted out from their bodies, constantly colliding with the divine light that enveloped them, trying to break Jiang Chen's suppression and escape.
.
It's a pity that although their power is strong, they are still not inferior to the power of the Thirty-Three Heavenly Pagoda. Jiang Chen only heard an angry cry: "Kuo Noise!"
In an instant, the power of the pagoda doubled, and it directly suppressed the six people and took them in. The next moment, the pagoda flashed with divine light and spat out the six people again.
However, after being spit out, the magic power on the six people was gone. The three flowers on their heads and the five qi in their chests were all cut off by Jiang Chen, and they were reduced from a generation of Daluo Jinxian to a mortal.
Thousands of years of hard work turn into running water in one day.
"Ahhhh..."
"You ruined my cultivation..."
"I……"
Realizing that their cultivation had been abolished, the six people immediately roared angrily, their eyes showing deep resentment. They stared at Jiang Chen, really wishing to eat his flesh, drink his blood, and cut him a thousand times.
Thousands of pieces.
"Shut up!"
Jiang Chen was not interested in listening to people scolding him. When he saw them uttering filthy words, he directly sealed their mouths with magic power and ordered Yihai beside him:
"Break their mouths, then throw them all back to their ancestral land, and throw back the gifts they brought."
"Finally, give me a message to my ancestors: If you don't want to give me something, don't give it to me. I don't care about it either."
"Besides, there are these people."
"Commander Yihai, if someone asks you why these people become like this."
"Just tell them: 'These people are disrespectful to me. This time, I just ruined my cultivation and taught them a lesson. Next time, I will kill someone.'"
"Also, tell Zu Di, if anyone dares to help them restore their cultivation, then don't blame me for not saying ugly things in front of them. I will kill anyone who helps them!"
After saying that, Jiang Chen signaled to Commander Yihai to take the person away quickly to avoid insulting his eyes.
"Some people, after being dominant in their ancestral land for a long time, really regard their ancestral land as their own, and they can do whatever they want. They think they have great power and are omnipotent."
"But I don't know that in our eyes, they are just clowns, and what they do is simply ridiculous."
After Yi Hai took the people away, Jiang Chen just sighed to himself. As the only person left in the hall, Xia Zicheng pretended to be mute and said nothing.
Although he also felt that the people from the ancestral land were a bit arrogant, but they were the people from the ancestral land after all, and they were so high up that they did not allow him to criticize them.
Again, he couldn't afford to offend either the Jiang family or the ancestral land, so naturally he could only remain mute.
Seeing Xia Zicheng's behavior, Jiang Chen couldn't help but sigh: "Sometimes, having more children and grandchildren may not be a good thing."
Speaking of which, Xia Zicheng, like Jiang Chen, was born into a royal family, with Xuanyuan blood, a descendant of King Yu, and an upright noble man from Tianhuang. But even so, Xia Zicheng still did not dare to offend someone from his ancestral land.
The reason is that there are too many Xuanyuan bloodlines everywhere, so that except for the direct lineage, the rest are looked down upon.
Unlike the Jiang family, the longer the inheritance goes on, the fewer descendants there are. Each one is a treasure of the family and is highly valued, and will never be bullied by outsiders.
If Ancestral Land dares to bully Xia Zicheng, even if King Xia is angry, he will most likely choose to settle the matter. But if Ancestral Land dares to bully Jiang Chen or the Jiang family, the Jiang family will go to Ancestral Land to kill people.
Although he thought so in his heart, Jiang Chen was still inevitably disappointed. He heard him say with some hatred: "Why are you afraid of the ancestral land? You are of Xuanyuan bloodline and a descendant of King Yu. What's wrong with them?
, do they still dare to touch you?"
"Even if King Yu is gone, His Majesty the Human Emperor is still there, His Majesty Emperor Xuan is still here, and it is not Zu Di's turn to intervene in the affairs of the Si family."
"Being a king, you should have the domineering spirit to overwhelm everything. If you are so submissive, even if you ascend the throne, it will be a disaster rather than a blessing for the Xia Dynasty."
When Jiang Chen said this, Xia Zicheng suddenly woke up and quickly bowed to him: "Thank you for your advice, Zicheng has learned a lesson."
Obviously, Jiang Chen's words touched him and he decided to change himself. However, this did not happen overnight. Whether he could succeed or not still depends on the future.
After all, they were not familiar with each other, so Jiang Chen stopped talking and asked instead, "Do you have anything else to do?"
The meaning of this sentence is that if you have nothing to do, you can leave. Jiang Chen is seeing off guests.
But Xia Zicheng thought for a while, but did not leave. Instead, he took out a jade sign and said to Jiang Chen: "Your Majesty, our Xia Dynasty has recently united many forces to prepare to hold an auction in Xia Capital.
Many treasures have appeared, may your Majesty be interested?"
"Auction?" Jiang Chen couldn't help but be startled when he suddenly heard this familiar word.
PS: This is a transitional chapter. I know many people don’t like it, but it must be written.
In addition, this chapter has 4,600 words, and I originally planned to publish two of them, but I thought it was a transitional chapter, so I forgot about it.
Also, the average price of this book is 2,800. If you work harder, it will become a fine product and it will cost you tens of thousands per day.
Fuck, it was 2,800 two months ago, and it’s still 2,800 now.
