Chapter 385 StormyWhere there was a victory, there naturally was a celebration.
The banquet of East Emperor Palace continued from the end of the evening until the dark night.
Yu Donglai, who rarely cooked after turning off Yu’s Restaurant, cooked himself.
East Emperor Palace ushered in the busiest day since its establishment.
Before yesterday, the mansion built in the suburbs of Huating with picturesque scenery was hung with the former sign of Han Yue Palace. The t.i.tle of East Emperor Palace was more like some people’s approval in their hearts.
At the end of the maneuver, when the victory banquet came to an end, Li Tianlan personally hung in front of the gate a plaque with the words ‘East Emperor Palace’ written by him three years ago.
Li Baitian, who was seriously injured, was drunk in a wheelchair and looked at the scene, squinting and dragging the pale Xu Chu beside him. He smirked and said, “This plaque was originally stolen by me from my first senior brother in Mount Shu after he was drunk. Isn’t it very cool? It is not too late to hang it up now. I’ll go back to Mount Shu these days and take some elite swordsmen down the mountain. East Emperor Palace is formally established. After everyone graduates, we should set up the framework quickly. Old Xu, you are the senior brother of Jade Pool. Don’t you plan to persuade some people of Jade Pool to join us?”
“It depends on the marshal and my junior sister.”
Xu Chu shook his head honestly.
He and Li Baitian were completely different. Jade Pool’s senior brother’s status was not low, but in the final a.n.a.lysis, he was only a junior. At least he had no right to take Jade Pool’s brothers to East Emperor Palace.
But Li Baitian was different. He was very young, but his seniority was absolute.
Great Void Sword Master in Mount Shu could be said to be one of the four main forces of Mount Shu.
Thousands of swordsmen in Mount Shu practiced swords on the mountain and dreamed of being taken as a disciple by a swordmaster. Li Baitian was now in the Thunder-shocking Realm and almost had the qualification to form a sect in Mount Shu. If he chose people and took them out of Mount Shu, then all the people were his disciples. Joining East Emperor Palace was just a matter of Li Baitian’s statement. With such an identification, Xu Chu could not compare with him.
This could only be achieved by Dongcheng Rus.h.i.+ or Dongcheng Wudi.
Especially the latter.
Nowadays, most of the elders in Mount Shu, together with their leader, called Dongcheng Wudi senior brother when seeing him.
“So far, there are certain things that can be done.”
Dongcheng Wudi glanced at Li Baitian and said with a smile, “But you are just getting started. It’s better to be cautious in terms of choosing candidates. The quality of your swordsmen in Mount Shu is not bad. But in your current situation, East Emperor Palace with two hundred core members already reaches the limit of operation. Before you grow stronger, East Emperor Palace needs absolute elites.
“I will have arrangements in this regard. You should pay attention to that when you choose someone, Great Void, ” Dongcheng Wudi said.
Great Void…
Li Baitian twitched the corners of his mouth and scolded him in the heart.
He nodded and said, “I will discuss with Tianlan.”
Dongcheng Wudi smiled and nodded, looking at Li Tianlan, who was holding a plaque under the lights in front.
The celebration party had come to an end.
But the carnival was doomed to continue.
This day could be a crucial day for Li Tianlan.
He used his strength to establish his position in Zhongzhou State, and East Emperor Palace officially appeared in Zhongzhou State.
Dongcheng Clan, Sigh City, Li family, Mount Shu, Jade Pool, and even the Zhongzhou State government would select the most trustworthy talents to join East Emperor Palace and build the strongest framework of influence in the shortest time.
Tonight was just the beginning.
If the Youzhou Conference some time ago was the beginning of the Li family’s resurgence, then tonight was only the beginning of Li Tianlan and East Emperor Palace.
It had nothing to do with others.
Dongcheng Wudi glanced at Lin Youxian, who was standing beside and quietly smiling.
The Lin Clan was little known in the Dark World.
But for Dongcheng Wudi with such a status, this was not a big secret.
But over the past many years, in Dongcheng Wudi’s impression, the concept of the Lin Clan was actually very general.
Even Dongcheng Wudi did not think how real the concept of the Lin clan was.
This was an ethnic group that spread all over the world. People could see their traces in South America, North America, Eurasia, and even Australia in the southern hemisphere. They were not strong enough to control the situation anywhere. But they had an influence that could not be ignored everywhere.
They cooperated with each other, but the connections were extremely scattered. They were not united and tried to play with annexation, plot, and conspiracy.
This was a behemoth that was quite different from the w.a.n.g family of Beihai.
All the branches of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai were in Beihai Province. They made Beihai Province an iron plate with a vague meaning of a small country within their country. With the w.a.n.g family of Beihai as the core, they affected Zhongzhou State and established Southeast Group. After Zhongzhou State became a behemoth that easily affected the whole world, its influence began to radiate the world.
The entire w.a.n.g family of Beihai was like a towering tree rooted in Zhongzhou State, covering the sky.
The so-called Lin clan was like a forest. It had branches and leaves all over the world, and basically had no connection among them at all. They also had some vicious compet.i.tion with each other and even fought desperately with each other. There was no restriction between each other but only freedom.
Three years ago Lin Fengting arrived in Zhongzhou State, and Dongcheng Wudi knew the Lin Clan’s headquarters in Switzerland.
If it weren’t for the existence of the Lin Clan, in the eyes of Dongcheng Wudi, the so-called Lin Clan was a group of giants, successful businessmen, politicians, and warlords scattered all over the world. The only common ground was that they all had Lin as their surname.
People in the Lin Clan’s headquarters never made money, did business, entered politics, or engaged in intelligence.
They did not have to do anything.
The Lin Clan’s patriarch in each generation did not need the so-called wisdom or remarkable ability. The entire Lin Clan only had a requirement for the patriarch.
He must be absolutely strong.
He was the patron saint of the entire Lin Clan.
When any branch of the Lin Clan encountered an irresistible threat of external forces, the patron saint in the Lin Clan’s headquarters was obliged to help its own branch to solve the problem.
The solution could be naked force suppression.
It could also be to mobilize the resources of other branches to fight against external forces jointly.
This was the power of the patriarch of the Lin Clan.
One could feel it.
Every one of the Lin Clan could break away from the headquarters and form a new branch.
The headquarters gave not only asylum to the branches at the critical moment but also an unimaginable amount of money.
But such asylum and grants were not free.
Any group or family established by an independent branch handed over 20% of the profits it received to the headquarters, and it handed them over permanently. This tradition was pa.s.sed down from generation to generation.
If they disagreed with this clause at first, then no one got the money.
Even if one regretted it halfway, the Lin Clan would take the original funds as much as the interest according to the agreement originally signed, and at the same time, removed the protection of the branch.
Every year, the headquarters of the Lin Clan drew 20% of the benefits from the total revenue of each branch.
These benefits were placed in the headquarters of the Lin Clan, where the patriarch was too lazy to invest or even spend money. This was an enormous cash flow enough to make anyone crazy.
The Lin Clan people who were trying to set up branches would get their own funds from the cash flow.
In this way, the branches of the Lin Clan were more, so was the income of the headquarters. The resources that the patriarch could mobilize and the responsibilities he bore would become more and more, eventually becoming an extremely delicate cycle.
This was a rather novel operating model. For hundreds of years, the Lin Clan’s model had continued to mature. To this day, for many years, even the w.a.n.g family of Beihai had had extremely b.l.o.o.d.y killing every few decades or hundreds of years, the Lin Clan was, however, always stable.
The major branches were in conflict with each other, but the Lin Clan had never experienced any calamity that had swept the entire family.
They were scattered all over the world, and there was no absolute power in any place. But their strength hidden under the water was enough to ensure the stability and interests of the entire family.
The w.a.n.g family of Beihai.
The Lin Clan.
They were two completely different modes of operation, two completely different att.i.tudes towards life.
They were the rules set by their ancestors.
The ancestor of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai known as the Chosen One for centuries seemed to always carry unparalleled aggressiveness. He hoped that his descendants would move forward with increasing responsibilities and would always stand at the pinnacle of the world and overlook the other mountains, with absolute force and power.
Therefore, the patriarchs of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai were mostly peerless ambitious persons.
The Lin Clan’s patriarchs of the past just kept quietly guarding their own growing Lin Clan, calm, stable, and very relaxed.
Dongcheng Wudi had studied the w.a.n.g family of Beihai and Lin Clan in detail.
He could not evaluate the state of mind of the two ancestors. But to this day, he could be sure that the overall strength of the Lin Clan would not be weaker than that of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai that had highly concentrated power.
At least it was not too bad.
Dongcheng Wudi knew Lin Youxian’s ident.i.ty.
For Li Tianlan’s involvement with the Lin Clan due to Lin Youxian, Dongcheng Wudi felt surprised as well as stunned.
East Emperor Palace was established.
If the Lin Clan was also willing to introduce some talents to East Emperor Palace, Li Tianlan’s future path would undoubtedly be broader.
“Whiz!”
A dull crackling sounded.
Countless fireworks rose inside East Emperor Palace.
Dongcheng Wudi came to himself.
In his sight, Li Tianlan had fixed the plaque of East Emperor Palace in front of the door.
The lights of East Emperor Palace were all turned off.
Rows and rows of fireworks rose into the sky and glowed in the night, seemingly endless.
The entire East Emperor Palace was transformed into a hazy, blurred one in the boom of fireworks.
In addition to Li Baitian, who was still in a wheelchair, Li Tianlan was lifted by everyone. The crowd shouted the name of East Emperor Palace and threw Li Tianlan into the sky again and again.
Li Tianlan’s hearty laughter sounded so clear. He relaxed in the aftermath of the burst of fireworks.
Dongcheng Wudi stared at Li Tianlan’s smile quietly, and his eyes were soft. He finally sighed quietly.
“Dad, everything is on track.”
In a gentle voice, Dongcheng Qiuchi, one of Huating’s 13 directors, came over. “You don’t seem very happy?”
“How come?”
Dongcheng Wudi laughed. “Just feel… feel…”
The decisive G.o.d of Ma.s.sacre hesitated and did not know how to describe his feelings.
“Are you guilty?”
Dongcheng Qiuchi stared at his father’s face.
Dongcheng Wudi was stunned, reached out his hand, and touched his daughter’s head.
“What about Uncle Zonghu and the others?”
Dongcheng Qiuchi glanced at the crowd.
Among the crowd, the tall Li Zonghu was particularly eye-catching. He had spent nearly thirty years in the Border Control Corps. At first, Major General Li Zonghu was merely Dongcheng Wudi’s trusted subordinate. He was huddled with a group of young people, laughing wildly and happily.
“I will make arrangements,” Dongcheng Wudi said.
Not just Li Zonghu.
Today, for 40,000 people from the four battalions of the Border Control Corps, Dongcheng Wudi must make proper arrangements.
“Not so easy.”
Dongcheng Qiuchi frowned slightly. “Today’s affairs are very complicated. w.a.n.g Tianzong attempted to kill Tianlan, which had broken the rule. But you mobilized the army, and you broke the rules too. The Giant Group and Academics will now target w.a.n.g Tianzong, but you will also become the target of the Southeast Group and Special Warfare Group. It is estimated that the Decision Making Committee will hold an emergency plenary meeting before tomorrow.”
“Do not worry.”
Dongcheng Wudi shook his head. “I’m mentally prepared. This time, I can deal with it.”
“This thing really can’t affect you.”
Dongcheng Qiuchi said, “But after this meeting, the youngest marshal in Zhongzhou State will appear?”
Dongcheng Wudi narrowed his eyes and thought of the one possessing Double Thunder Veins from the w.a.n.g family of Beihai.
Dijiang.
He was currently the most likely candidate to serve as the new commander of the Border Control Corps.
Dongcheng Wudi knew the w.a.n.g family of Beihai’s model.
Each generation of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai had at least two people with the combat capability at the peak of the Invincible Realm.
In this generation, they were w.a.n.g Tianzong and Summer Solstice.
It was just that the state of Summer Solstice was a bit special. After her foundation got hurt, w.a.n.g Tianzong alone had shouldered the responsibility of everyone for many years.
What about the next generation?
w.a.n.g Shengxiao was bound to be one of them.
But the other at the peak of the Invincible Realm might be Song Ci.
But for now, it was most likely to be Dijiang.
After w.a.n.g Shengxiao launched an attack by lowering his realm, his realm regressed, so Dijiang would even reach the peak of the Invincible Realm earlier than w.a.n.g Shengxiao could.
“As expected,” Dongcheng Wudi calmly said.
He thought of Dijiang but kept watching Li Tianlan.
His phone rang.
Dongcheng Wudi pulled out his mobile phone and raised his eyebrows when he saw the number on the mobile phone.
The sound of fireworks exploding constantly sounded.
Dongcheng Wudi went into East Emperor Palace and put the call through.
Dongcheng Qiuchi quietly followed her father.
The call didn’t last long.
But Dongcheng Qiuchi clearly saw that his father’s complexion became gloomy at almost the speed visible to the naked eye.
He hung up the phone silently and glanced at Dongcheng Qiuchi. “Bring Tianlan here.”
“Is there something wrong?” Dongcheng Qiuchi asked subconsciously.
Dongcheng Wudi shook his head and bit his teeth. “Snow Country!”
This day was the night of July 31 in Zhongzhou State.
It was the early morning of August 1 in Snow Country.
After the collapse of the Polar Ground Alliance, the turbulent situation in Eastern Europe was finally detonated.
The Jiang family of South America’s intelligence organization finally located the largest batch of Samsara Palace’s elites in Snow Country after the investigation.
Jiang Qiansong, the patriarch of the Jiang family of South America, chased after them for a killing purpose in person.
The Dark Knights protected the largest batch of elites in Samsara Palace to retreat.
The chief of Knights Templars, the expert Chaos in the Invincible Realm and Jiang Qiansong joined forces. The two masters of the Invincible Realm slaughtered nearly half of the elites of Samsara Palace and Dark Knights.
The fighting took place in the capital of Eyme in Eastern Europe.
It was unknown if it was a coincidence or an intentional act. The place where the battle detonated happened to be near the base of the Eyme garrison in Zhongzhou State.
The frantic flames of war had permeated Eyme.
More than 3,000 people of the over 10,000 garrison soldiers from Zhongzhou State stationed in Eyme were killed or injured!
The Eyme government conveyed the news to Zhongzhou State as soon as possible.
The higher-ups of Zhongzhou State were furious and decided to convene a high-level meeting as soon as possible.
All nine directors attended.
In this high-level meeting, in addition to all high-level officials, three people were specially invited.
One was Zhongzhou State’s Sword Emperor w.a.n.g Tianzong, who was famous in the Dark World.
One was Dijiang, the first disciple of w.a.n.g Tianzong.
The last one was Li Tianlan.
It was a stormy day.
