" The Cloud Phoenix Empire? The Cloud Phoenix Empire is far weaker than it is now. How could it possibly return to what it was back then?"
Everyone looked towards the third floor.
Those forces that can sit on the third floor are all major powers on this continent.
This force is openly represented by a Void God Realm expert!
Everyone was slightly taken aback when they saw this person.
As is widely known.
The Central Region has three Aristocratic Clan, two major sects, and one academy.
These six major forces are the most powerful forces in the Central Region!
Let us jointly rule the Central Region!
Their strength is incomparably formidable.
The first courtyard represents the Hidden Dao Academy.
The two major sects are the Hidden Sword Sect and the Pill Sect.
The three Aristocratic Clan are the Li Clan, the Mu Lineage, and the Murong Clan.
At this moment, the speaker was a young man.
Everyone present had heard of this man.
The Murong Clan, Murong Mou.
Although his strength was not as terrifying as that of his younger brother Murong Ce.
However, this occurred before Murong Ce was even born.
Murong Mou is the sole prodigy of the Murong Clan!
Although the current glory has been overshadowed by Murong Ce.
However, Murong Mou's talent should not be underestimated.
Bei Ling looked at Murong Mou and smiled silently.
It seems the Murong Clan is preparing to enter the fray.
Murong Mou is not a brainless person; he must have said such things under the instruction of his Lineage.
The Murong Clan had their reasons for doing this.
Of course, it's certain that they don't want to see the Cloud Phoenix Empire rebuilt.
After all, the reconstruction of the Cloud Phoenix Empire will inevitably lead to a loss of benefits for this continent.
This is something that the Murong Clan, as well as other forces that disagree with the reconstruction of the Cloud Phoenix Empire, are wary of.
The third layer.
On the side of the Hidden Dao Academy, beside Dean Yan, stood a woman in Hongyi, with nine people standing behind her.
Hearing this, his expression didn't change.
Dean Yan chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, aren't you angry?"
The woman was none other than Hong Ying!
The nine people behind her were naturally from the Nine Heavens Division.
However, very few of those present had ever seen Hong Ying's true face.
Hong Ying said expressionlessly, "What's there to be angry about? It was expected. It's good to see how many forces will stand up."
As an empress.
There's no need to get angry with a junior.
Moreover, this is a good opportunity to see just how many forces will stand up and openly oppose the reconstruction of the Cloud Phoenix Empire.
These forces.
They will inevitably become the target of Hong Ying's scare tactics.
The Nine Heavens Division also made no move.
Although they were angry, they did not take action until Hong Ying gave the order.
They won't move.
In the room on the third floor, Murong Mou continued in a cold voice, "I admit that in High Antiquity times, under the leadership of Empress Yunhuang, the overall strength of the continent reached another level."
"However, due to the Cloud Phoenix Empire's stubbornness, most of the Martial Dao traditions on the continent were destroyed."
"Now that the mainland has finally recovered some strength, are we really going to let the Cloud Phoenix Empire rebuild and lead us to destruction?"
At this moment, Yun Ming finally couldn't help but speak up in rebuttal.
"At that time, all the sects and Aristocratic Clan on the continent agreed with the Cloud Phoenix Empire's conquest plan; how could they be acting unilaterally?"
Everyone looked in Yun Ming's direction again.
Hong Ying did not stop Yun Ming from speaking.
Yun Ming continued, "At that time, the top experts on the continent had already reached their bottleneck."
"The total amount of Spiritual Qi on this continent is simply not enough for them to break through!"
"We cultivators pursue higher realms, don't we? They will naturally agree to the empire's plan."
Murong Mou retorted, "But what was the result?"
"The consequence, however, was that it led the continent to its destruction!"
Do you intend to repeat the tragedy of that time?
That brings us to this.
Several other factions immediately echoed this sentiment.
"That's right!"
"We must never allow this tragedy to repeat itself!"
"Moreover, does the Cloud Phoenix Empire still possess the strength it had back then?"
"I've heard that the current Empress is only at the Qianyuan Realm, right?"
Murong Mou's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile of triumph.
The reason he made such sensitive remarks in public was...
This is naturally to increase public opinion against rebuilding the Cloud Phoenix Empire!
On the third level, an elderly Buddhist Sect monk stepped forward, clasped his hands together, and said, "Amitabha, Buddhist Sect also does not wish for the continent to fall into slaughter again."
Therefore, Buddhist Sect rejected the reconstruction of the empire.
Buddhist Sect has stepped forward once again!
Hong Ying also looked over.
A cold glint flashed in his eyes.
At that time, a few forces across the continent disagreed with the war.
This includes Buddhist Sect!
Hong Ying did not force them.
After all, the plan to conquer the Heavenly Road relied entirely on the voluntary participation of various forces.
However, at that time...
Hong Ying had already suspected that the Buddhist Sect played an unclean role in the conquest of the Heavenly Road.
At that time, the Empire had several important plans, all of which were known to the other side in advance!
There must be a mole among them.
During the reign of the Sunset Dynasty, Buddhist Sect openly sided with the envoy from the Upper Realm!
This made Hong Ying even more convinced that Buddhist Sect was not clean at its core!
The Buddhist Sect and the Murong Clan stepped forward.
Some forces that opposed the reconstruction of the empire but dared not speak out openly also stepped forward!
Within this Beiyuan Restaurant alone, only the Hidden Dao Academy and the Hidden Sword Sect agreed!
The Mu Lineage and the Li Clan, both of the three great Aristocratic Clan, remained silent.
The same applies to the Pill Sect.
Clearly, they are still observing the situation and do not want to take sides so quickly.
Seeing this, Yun Ming was furious, but Hong Ying stopped him with a look.
Now is not the time to make a move.
Making a move now will only make us a target of public criticism.
Although, now, she is confident that she can lead the Nine Heavens Division to fight against everyone here.
However, Hong Ying's goal is to rebuild the Cloud Phoenix Empire.
Taking action and resorting to violence to suppress the unrest here will not win over the people!
Only by tackling problems one by one elsewhere can we gradually find a breakthrough.
Matters involving interests.
It's not something that can be easily solved simply by having the ability.
Unless Hong Ying recovers to the level of Great Emperor.
However, this is clearly impossible in the short term.
At this moment, Bei Ling stood up with a smile and said, "Everyone, my father has arrived."
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure appeared beside Bei Ling.
Those who know him recognize him as Bei Feng, the city lord of Northern Plain City!
His realm is at the Half-Step Void God.
If it weren't for its location outside the Extreme Northern Icefield, far from the center of the Northern Region...
It seems the Sunset Dynasty will have no chance of becoming the hegemon of the Northern Region.
Bei Feng cupped his hands and said, "Thank you all for giving me the honor of being a guest at Beiyuan Restaurant."
Everyone returned the greeting with a cupped hand.
The people on the second level also didn't just go through the motions; they gave Bei Feng plenty of face.
Murong Mou cupped his hands and smiled, "Lord of the Northern City, you should have heard what I said earlier. What is your opinion?"
Bei Feng, whose physical body was extremely robust, laughed loudly upon hearing this, then looked at Murong Mou and said sideways, "Young Murong Clan, are you trying to make me choose sides?"
Murong Mou shrugged, remaining noncommittal.
However, Bei Feng did not avoid the topic, but smiled and said, " Northern Plain City wants to develop in peace."
This single sentence signifies that Bei Feng is now standing in opposition to the Cloud Phoenix Empire!
