The city lord's palace is heavily guarded. On the intersecting streets and outside the grand palace gate, there are fully armed soldiers riding beasts, looking around like wolves and tigers.
The judges who had received the news in advance were already waiting in front of the city palace. Except for the third judge who was temporarily away from the city lord's palace due to being busy with information, and the fifth judge who was out of town for activities, the other three judges all came after hearing the news.
Seeing Tang Yan's return, they were surprised and happy.
"There are still four months until the agreed time. Why are you back early, Master?" The Grand Judge glanced around and saw a few unfamiliar faces. But it didn't matter. Xu Yan and Ren Tianzang had come when they were supposed to.
It gave him a lot of surprises. When the national war came, any high-level martial master or any half-saint was a top-notch treasure, and could even turn the tide of the war in an area.
And the arrival of Tang Yan and other nine half-saints, all of whom are real freaks, may be able to cheer up the royal family. No, as soon as they got the news, the three judges went out to greet the staff of the city lord's palace.
After writing the intelligence report on the spot, it was rushed to the imperial city thousands of miles away.
"We left the Eternal Beast Mountain ten days ago and took a trip to the Yan Kingdom. We happened to encounter two saints from the Holy Spirit Temple and the Demon Suppression Temple attacking the Yaochi Holy Land..." Tang Yan gave a brief introduction and then asked directly
: "What happened? How did I hear that Qin Minghuang and the others arrived?"
"Oh, it's hard to put it into words. Now the scene in the Central Plains is becoming more and more difficult to understand." The fourth judge sighed heavily and said: "We were still considering whether to let you come back the day before yesterday, but now that you are here, now
You really have to be part of this matter."
"Stop standing at the door. Let's go in first. Boss Ma and the others are already waiting." The Grand Judge led Tang Yan and the others into the heavily guarded City Lord's Mansion, and introduced as he walked: "Young Master, you should
We all know what happened in the Central Plains in the past half month, but you probably don’t know what happened the day before yesterday.”
Tang Yan and others walked into the city lord's mansion one after another, and the patrolling troops frequently cast curious glances. Luo Hu's size was too huge, and he could only drift in mid-air, but Tang Yan's identity and many
The aura of Yan and others brought a lot of excitement to the guards.
The war is coming, and there is nothing more gratifying than joining a strong team.
The Grand Judge introduced: "The cause of the matter is that we received an invitation letter. To be precise, many people received the invitation letter."
"Invitation? What invitation?"
"The Star Luo Empire received eight letters, and they were sent to Xuanyuan, Qin Minghuang, Zhao Wenqing, Cang Ming, Chu Tianchao, Mu Zixiu, Liu Qingqing, and Xia Beilou, eight of them representing the top powerhouses of the new generation of the Star Luo Empire. We
Jiulongling received one, and it was addressed to you personally, specifically marked as the young master of Jiulongling."
"Who sent it?" Tang Yan and the others became more and more confused as they listened.
"The signature is the Three Holy Lands of the Central Plains, Pure Land, Zhulu Academy, and Valley of the Wicked."
"The Valley of the Wicked?"
“Holy place??”
Everyone was obviously stunned. They had never heard of this name. But when they thought about it carefully, something was wrong. How could a wicked person come out of a holy land, a sacred land? It was completely contrary to the word "holy".
The Grand Judge said: "Everyone knows the name of the Holy Land of the Pure Land. The name of the Holy Land of Zhulu Academy has existed for tens of thousands of years. However, the existence of the Valley of the Wicked is not too clear. People all know that there are three major Holy Lands in the Central Plains, but they do not know that apart from the Pure Land
Who is the third holy land besides the Academy? But at this moment, the Valley of the Wicked may be preparing to go to the light."
"Introduction?" Du Yang has lived in the wilderness all year round and has no idea about the Holy Land.
The second judge gave a detailed explanation: "The Pure Land is a gathering place for monks all over the world. It is as vast as a kingdom and is dotted with various temples. They are all monks who advocate peace and promote fraternity. Their number is very large.
, the Pure Land heritage is even richer and has a great influence throughout the Central Plains.
For a long time, many Pure Land monks have basically never stayed in the Pure Land. They travel around the country all year round, preaching friendship, eliminating suffering, and helping people in need regardless of good or evil, so that monks and Pure Land enjoy the privilege of being respected throughout the entire continent.
The holy name is widely respected and loved.
Zhulu Academy is both a holy land, but its nature and way of existence are special. Unlike the Pure Land, they do not focus on the people's suffering, preach peace and friendship, and even sacrifice themselves to save people. The characteristics of Zhulu Academy is to govern the country and the people!
It is the supreme temple in the hearts of scholars all over the world. It is also the temple in the hearts of prime ministers, Imperial Academy, and colleges. It is the supreme existence. There are all kinds of books in the world, military art, national policies, everything. They never train warriors.
They do not just train physically and spiritually, they train students who are well-read in history and capable ministers in governing the country. They recruit a steady stream of students every year and continuously send talents to various countries.
Looking at the five great empires and kingdoms in the Central Plains, almost 70% of the admonishers, prime ministers, academicians, state ministers, and even some important agricultural officials came from Zhulu Academy."
Everyone was highly concentrated and listened with bated breath. Except for Xuanyuan Longli, it was probably the first time for everyone present to hear a detailed introduction to the Holy Land, and some even heard about Zhulu Academy for the first time.
At this moment, my heart is full of emotion and a little shock.
One is a holy place in the hearts of ordinary people, and the other is a holy place in the hearts of students all over the world. I have already known the name of the Pure Land, but is Zhulu Academy a little too scary? It is simply the birthplace of civil servants from all over the world. To exaggerate, the whole thing is processed by civil servants and students.
Production plant location.
"What about the Valley of the Wicked?" Du Yang was even more curious.
"The Valley of the Evil is even more different from the Pure Land and the Academy, but they are indeed called a holy land, and they are still recognized as a holy land in the mainland. But the name of this holy land is not a holy land in our normal sense, because it is
The holy place in the hearts of the wicked in the world!"
Everyone frowned slightly and listened carefully.
"The Valley of Evil simply and radically divides people in the world into three categories: good people, bad people and common people. There are very few types that can be classified as good people. Except for the Pure Land and some special organizations, I am afraid no one dares to call themselves good people.
, but there are actually fewer people who can be truly classified as bad guys, and these people basically gather in the Valley of the Wicked. The remaining types can all be regarded as common people. You, me, everyone present, are all common people. Simple explanation
They are people who have not lost their bestiality and are entangled in the world.
To put it simply, the Valley of the Wicked is very mysterious, even more mysterious than the Forbidden Land. They never accept anyone’s offer of refuge, but they will attract or protect certain people themselves. These people are all personally selected by them.
'Evil people' who judge by their own standards!
For example, if they like someone, they will definitely take it back at any cost, but if they don't like it, no matter how serious your sin is, they will never step into the Valley of the Wicked.
Another crucial point is that as long as you enter the Valley of the Wicked, no matter how heinous a crime you commit in the outside world, no matter which force you provoke, the other party will no longer pursue it, and you will not dare to offend the Valley of the Wicked. This is an unwritten rule
, is also an agreement that all countries and forces always abide by. As for how strong the Valley of Evil is, maybe even the Emperor of the Empire doesn’t know, and he can’t mess with it anyway.”
Is there such a place? Everyone looked at each other in confusion, unable to tell what they were feeling.
The Grand Judge continued: "It is undeniable that the three holy places have extremely terrifying influence throughout the Central Plains. Their status in the hearts of the people is even equal to that of the empire. They are sacred and inviolable holy places of peace."
"Am I considered a villain?" Zhuge Liang asked Du Yang beside him with a smile.
"You?" Du Yang looked him up and down and huffed: "At most, it's just a person!"
"Don't be ridiculous." Xu Yan glared at them, took a few steps forward, and asked, "Did the Three Holy Lands jointly send the invitation? Was it only given to the Star Luo Empire?"
"No! It covers the entire Central Plains."
"oh?"
The Grand Judge said: "After the incident on March 9, both the Pure Land and the Academy temporarily maintained calm. It seemed that they gave up persuading the two empires and allowed the chaos in the Central Plains. There was no movement for many days in a row, and they were even
To criticize it means that the Holy Land has given up on the common people.
But at noon the day before yesterday, the Sky Eye Intelligence Organization sent an invitation letter to the entire Central Plains, an invitation letter from the three holy places. To be precise, the three holy places entrusted the Sky Eye to send invitations to the five empires, the seven forbidden lands, and the eighty-nine kingdoms.
, an invitation letter was sent out.”
"What??"
"Covering the entire Central Plains? What a bold move!"
Everyone was shocked and stopped involuntarily.
"Oh my God, how dare you come here? All the countries in the Central Plains? Including the forbidden areas?" Many people opened their mouths, with expressions of shock on their faces.
