Tense Situation, Arrogant Great Zhou Envoy

Since he had plenty of money, Li Hao chose a private room for this trip.

Although the train compartments were not large, both the furnishings and the interior design were quite exquisite and elegant, at least justifying the high price.

If it weren't for Li Hao's special request, there would be a waiter in the private room available 24/7 to serve the VIPs.

As for the services offered, it's naturally a one-stop service.

The private room was small, but it had everything you needed.

At the innermost part of the room, there is a double bed separated by curtains, and a separate bathroom with shower facilities.

Outside the curtains was an elegantly furnished small living room.

At this moment, Li Hao and Daisina were sitting on the sofa.

On the wall opposite the sofa in the carriage, there was an LCD TV playing the news.

"At 9:00 a. m. this morning, our Ministry of Foreign Affairs received the delegation from the Great Zhou at the Imperial Capital International Airport."

In addition to the official delegation from the Great Zhou, there were also seventy-two participants who came to attend the martial arts exchange conference between the two countries.

It is reported that a minor conflict occurred during the first meeting between the two countries, but the court has not released any further information.

Li Hao raised an eyebrow slightly.

Indeed, the Special Mission of promoting harmonious coexistence between the two countries will not be so easily accomplished.

Minor conflict.

Minor conflicts that are officially reported usually indicate that the situation has escalated considerably, and there may also be instances of information leaks.

Li Hao took out his phone and went online to search for news about the meeting between the diplomatic corps of the two countries.

"The envoy from the Great Zhou Dynasty was arrogant and refused to shake hands with our diplomats."

"Contestant Great Zhou made arrogant remarks, claiming he wanted to fight all contestants of the same age group in our country alone."

"Wudang Sect Zhang Xiaofeng, a renowned martial arts prodigy and the youngest grandmaster-level expert in the Great Xia, clashed violently with contestants from the Great Zhou at the international airport."

During the exchange, Zhang Xiaofeng was defeated in one move by Zhou Yang, a Pure Yang Temple disciple of the same age from Great Zhou. The Great Zhou contestants may not have been exaggerating; perhaps no martial artist of the same age from Great Xia could match Zhou Yang, the Pure Yang Temple disciple.

"It is said that the emergence of the Great Zhou has caused a great sensation around the world."

The United States and other Western countries have expressed strong interest in this martial arts exchange between the Great Xia and the Great Zhou, and have also expressed their desire to send a delegation to observe the event.

The cabinet has now given a new response, approving the special request from the United States and other Western countries to send a delegation to visit the martial arts exchange conference between the two countries.

Hu You, a renowned Chinese expert on international affairs, shared his views on the martial arts exchange meeting between the Great Xia and Great Zhou. He believes that this exchange not only holds significant importance for both countries but will also profoundly impact the current global situation.

Regarding the defeat of Zhang Xiaofeng, the youngest grandmaster of the Wudang Sect, expert Hu You stated that it was nothing significant, and explicitly indicated that the real clash between the two countries was not a contest between young, strong individuals of lower ages, but rather a contest of military power at the higher levels.

Regarding Hu You's views, many renowned experts in China expressed their agreement, while a large number of experts expressed their opposition.

Upon seeing this, Li Hao couldn't help but give the expert a thumbs up.

Although his name is laughable, his analysis of the situation is remarkably clear.

The so-called exchange meeting was merely a pretext; in essence, it was a test between the two countries. As Hu You stated in his declaration, the key to this exchange meeting was the contest between the two countries' top leaders.

Li Hao turned off his phone and sighed helplessly.

However, judging from the current situation, the Great Zhou is likely to have ill intentions.

Young people these days just don't know how to appreciate life or cherish a peaceful and tranquil social environment. They're always trying to create some big news. Aren't you all blatantly forcing this group admin to step in and pretend—I mean, step in and mediate between the two countries and resolve conflicts?

Sigh, being a capable man is truly exhausting.

Li Hao made a self-absorbed remark before quickly returning to reality.

Although he had not yet arrived in the capital, Li Hao could already sense the tense atmosphere in the current news reports.

And in fact, it was just as Li Hao had imagined.

The capital was not peaceful at this time; in fact, it was turbulent.

The Great Zhou, an ancient kingdom that should have disappeared into the mists of history more than a thousand years ago, has suddenly and mysteriously reappeared in the eyes of the world!

Putting everything else aside, the mere fact that she was Empress Wu Zhao of the Great Zhou Dynasty was enough to attract the attention of most people.

Since the basic information about the Great Zhou appeared online, the whole world has been in an uproar.

Great Zhou, Wu Zhao!

In a short time, searches about the Great Zhou and Wu Zhao climbed to the top of the world's trending topics. Not only were the East paying close attention, but Western countries were also taking notice.

After all, portals aren't something that only appear in the East.

Everyone wants to know what lies behind the portal, and what impact its opening will have on the current situation on Earth.

It can be said that the current conflict between the Great Xia and Great Zhou is no longer just a conflict between two countries, but a contest between Earth and the ancient remnants of civilization.

The capital city, the state guesthouse.

Chunyangzi very angry now, extremely angry.

Chunyangzi had high hopes for this martial arts exchange between the Great Zhou and the Great Xia, and never intended to outdo either side. He hoped that the exchange would help both countries gain a better understanding of each other, thereby bringing peace and cooperation.

But he never imagined that the harmonious situation he had painstakingly cultivated would be ruined by a foolish idiot.

Helan Minzhi!

Marquis Wu of Qin of the Great Zhou.

Of course, these are not the most important things.

Most importantly, Qin Wuhou Helan Minzhi is now the leader of the delegation and the chief commander of the negotiations between the two countries.

In short, after Helan Minzhi arrived, Chunyangzi and his group were no longer involved in the negotiations between the two countries.

Helan Minzhi is not the historical Helan Minzhi, but rather a descendant of the Helan family, who inherited the name of their Helan Minzhi and is the most outstanding member of the Helan Family in the past thousand years.

Helan Minzhi was born with outstanding talent in cultivation, making him the supreme young talent of the Great Zhou in his time.

He began cultivating at the age of eight, completed the Foundation Establishment at the age of ten, condensed the Golden Core at the age of thirteen, and broke through to the Nascent Soul realm at the age of eighteen, entering the ranks of true powerhouses.

Helan Minzhi is now 120 years old, and his cultivation has reached the advanced stage of the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm.

It can be said that even within the entire empire, there are very few geniuses who can compare to him.

Unlike his ancestor, the current Helan Minzhi not only possesses extraordinary talent in cultivation, but also has made countless contributions to the empire at a young age. His title of Marquis of Qin was not due to the legacy of his ancestor, but rather earned through his own achievements, which he worked hard for step by step.

It was this bravery and record that forged Helan Minzhi's unusual arrogance and domineering nature.

Facing the furious Chunyangzi, Helan Minzhi showed no fear, coldly stating, "From this moment forward, all matters concerning negotiations between the two countries will be handled by this Marquis."

Helan Minzhi spoke, his eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze sharp as a sword.

He glanced at the kicked-open door and said coldly, "If this happens again, don't blame me for dealing with it according to the law."

Chunyangzi was so angry that his face turned red.

National law!

When Laozi was following the Empress to conquer the world, you little rascal weren't even born yet!

Chunyangzi was displeased with Helan Minzhi's arrogance, but considering the current tense situation between the two countries, he barely suppressed his anger. Like an enraged lion, he said in a low voice, "You know what you're doing. You've completely ruined us."

Before Chunyangzi could finish speaking, Helan Minzhi suddenly interrupted, shouting angrily, "Enough! Do I need to ask your permission to do things? Chunyangzi, you're really getting old and senile. Don't forget your place!"

Chunyangzi was so angry that he was practically fuming. He roared, "Do you know what we are facing? A powerful being who has already attained the Dao, or even proven the Dao!"

"You've just arrived and you've already given the Great Xia a hard time. How impressive! What, Lord Helan, do you want to provoke a conflict between the two countries and provoke that powerful figure?"

Helan Minzhi sneered, "You're really getting senile. The ancient world was not yet unified, and the Heavenly Dao was not yet fully restored."

Proving one's way—how laughable!

As for Dao Integration Realm experts, even if Great Xia truly has Dao Integration Realm experts, so what? Great Zhou has never feared mere Dao Integration Realm experts.

"I think you're getting more and more timid as you get older; you've lost the sharpness of a swordsman."

Chunyangzi was so angry that he couldn't speak. He glared at Helan Minzhi and finally stormed off in a huff.

This brat is not worth discussing anything with!

Helan Minzhi spat disdainfully and cursed, "Old scoundrel."

"Sir, what about us?"

Helan Minzhi coldly said, "Everything as usual, let's not lose the prestige of our Great Zhou. The Empress has successfully broken through, I want to see what kind of strong person can emerge from the Bitter Sea after it has been closed for thousands of years."

"Hmph, that old scoundrel."

As Helan Minzhi continued speaking, he couldn't help but curse Chunyangzi had already left, once again, clearly very dissatisfied with Chunyangzi's questioning.

At this time, Li Hao was unaware of the changes in the Great Zhou, let alone the state of affairs between the two countries.

He looked at Daisina, his gaze deep and unreadable.

Even though Li Hao had seen all sorts of stunning beauties, he had to admit that Daisina truly deserved the title of the most beautiful woman in the Holy See.

It wasn't just because of Daisina's stunning beauty and sexy figure, but more so because of the natural noble air she exuded, like a goddess descended from the heavens, or a pure and holy snow lotus from the Tianshan Mountains, so sacred that one dared not defile it.

Daisina felt Li Hao's gaze and respectfully lowered her head, not daring to look him in the eye.

Daisina was a little nervous.

She couldn't help but be nervous, nor could she remain calm. She deeply understood everything that had happened in the Azure Empire, including the fall of the Galaxy God!

Without the protection of powerful deities and the guidance of true experts, both the Canglan Divine Cult and the Azure Empire are now in dire straits.

Most importantly, she had no idea what kind of personality her new owner had!
