His Majesty, This Person May Well Be Ye Jing
The excitement on Nangong Wenqing's face attracted the attention of the Clan Leader of the various prominent families in Jiangnan Aristocratic Families.
The Clan Leader of the Ximen Family noticed the unusual expression on Nangong Wenqing's face and asked curiously, "Brother Nangong, why are you so agitated? Do you know the reason for this?"
"Yes, Brother Nangong, tell me quickly! I also want to know who this person is, to have such abilities!"
"That's right, Brother Nangong. It's not a good thing that such a person is hiding in the Imperial Capital Dali. We must find him."
"We don't yet know whether this person is friend or foe. If they can be a friend, and we can win them over, that would be a huge help!"
After Ximen Clan Leader raised his question, the other Clan Leader of various Jiangnan Aristocratic Families also Nangong Wenqing.
The excitement on Nangong Wenqing's face did not fade at all; on the contrary, it grew even stronger. After a long while, his expression gradually returned to calm.
Looking at the expectant faces of the Clan Leader of the Jiangnan Aristocratic Families, Nangong Wenqing said with arrogance, "Gentlemen, don't you find it strange? Why is such a great battle taking place in the Dali Imperial Capital!"
The clan Clan Leader present remained silent, knowing the meaning behind Nangong Wenqing's words.
The Imperial Capital is a crucial location; if the Imperial Capital is stable, then the Dali is stable. Therefore, the Imperial Capital has always maintained strict order, precisely for the sake of its stability.
Before the fall of the Dali royal family, they made ample preparations to ensure the stability of the Imperial Capital.
In the Dali Imperial Capital, anyone who is Great Grandmaster or above is registered with the Ministry of Revenue Dali. Such powerful individuals are under the control of the Dali royal family.
Over the Dali has been as numerous as the waves. Throughout this time, there have been many unruly and Peerless Powerhouse who refused to be bound by the Great Li Imperial Family and preferred to live alone.
But once discovered by the Great Li Imperial Family, no matter where you flee to, they will be executed.
Over time, even Great Grandmaster and higher-level cultivators dared not violate this rule of the Great Li Imperial Family, and would register with the Dali Ministry of Revenue after entering the Imperial Capital of Dali Li.
After the fall of the Great Li Imperial Family, the Ministry of Revenue came under the control of the Jiangnan Aristocratic Families, and the register naturally fell into their hands as well.
They knew perfectly well who the powerful figures were now in Dali Imperial Capital and where they were.
These past few days, they have been running around in the Dali Imperial Capital Imperial Capital, trying to win over the powerful figures hidden Dali, but with little success.
However, although the register recorded many powerful individuals, none of them possessed the strength to create the same level of power as before.
In other words, this powerful Peak of Humanity was not recorded in any official register; he was Hidden Powerhouse forgotten by the Great Li Imperial Family.
"Brother Nangong, are you saying this person is a reclusive powerhouse! We can try to win him over!"
"But that's not right," the Ximen Clan Leader said tentatively, but a hint of doubt immediately appeared in his eyes. "Since this person is Hidden Powerhouse, he certainly doesn't want anyone to know his whereabouts."
"The Imperial Capital isn't that big, but it's not that small either, with a population of several million. In this vast sea of people, how can we possibly find this person without even a trace?"
After listening to what the Ximen Clan Leader Nangong Wenqing shook his head, a smile appearing on his face, and said with great certainty.
"Brother Ximen, this is strange. Think about it carefully, don't you find something odd about this?"
Nangong Wenqing stepped forward and stood before the heads of the various Clan Leader of Jiangnan Aristocratic Families, continuing to speak calmly.
"Hidden Powerhouse! How could there be so many Hidden Powerhouse in this world, and with such strength? What a coincidence!"
"The Dali royal family was never discovered before its destruction, but now it has been discovered."
"And the timing was perfect, happening right after His Majesty visited his close friend at the Hanlin Academy. What a coincidence!"
Nangong Wenqing's speculation caused the Clan Leader of the various Jiangnan Aristocratic Families present to lower their heads in silence, their eyes flickering with uncertainty, their brows furrowed, as they quietly pondered this conjecture.
Sitting in the seat of honor, Hu Jie's eyes also flashed with shock. He was not stupid and naturally knew who Nangong Wenqing.
But is Brother Ye really that powerful? Before he knew the truth, he clearly heard Nangong Wenqing highly of this person.
He knew that Ye Jing was extremely powerful, but he never expected that Ye Jing's strength would be this great.
"Uncle Nangong, are you saying that this mysterious Peak of Humanity is my brother Ye!"
Hu Jie finally couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering him.
Ximen Clan Leader, echoing Hu Jie's earlier words, continued, "That's right, Brother Nangong, this matter is of great importance. You can't speak recklessly without evidence!"
Nangong Wenqing showed no sign of panic, his eyes filled with confidence. "Your Majesty, Brother Ximen, this matter is of utmost importance, how could I dare to joke about it!"
"Honestly, there are only a handful of experts of this caliber in the entire Dali. If such an expert wanted to live in seclusion in the Dali, unless they exposed themselves, how many people could possibly discover their whereabouts? This is the first point of doubt."
"Secondly, His Majesty visited the Hanlin Academy a hundred days after his death, and this earth-shattering battle occurred that very night. Isn't that too much of a coincidence? This is the second point of suspicion."
"And most importantly, think about it, His Majesty's closest friend is already incredibly powerful, and he lives in the Imperial Capital. How many people like him are there in the entire Dali? How could they possibly be in the Imperial Capital Dali at the same time!"
The first two points were merely Nangong Wenqing's speculations; his certainty stemmed entirely from this third point.
On the day that mysterious, Peak of Humanity rescued Hu Jie from the Great Li Imperial Family, Hu Jie described this mysterious, Peak of Humanity to him.
He knew very well about this Peak of Humanity strength and was also well aware of the person's power.
The Jiangnan Aristocratic Families have a profound heritage, with many slumbering Ancestor, but none of these Ancestor can compare with that Peak of Humanity.
Such unparalleled Peerless Powerhouse are extremely rare, and it is already exceptional for even one to emerge in the Dali. How could two such powerful individuals appear at the same time?
This is why Nangong Wenqing dared to be so certain: the great battle just now was caused by Ye Jing, a close friend of the Lord of Great Li in the Hanlin Academy.
After listening to Nangong Wenqing's analysis, the Clan Leader of the various clans in Jiangnan Aristocratic Families present nodded in agreement, their eyes revealing a hint of appreciation, clearly agreeing with Nangong Wenqing's analysis.
"However, Brother Nangong, if this person is indeed the close friend His Majesty spoke of, we must help him now and make sure to win him over."
Ximen Clan Leader's words served as a reminder to Nangong Wenqing, who immediately Nangong Wenqing the Ancestor of various clans to go to the Ye Jing.
