Our villains don't want to be stepping stones

Her beauty is peerless, her eyes are like stars.

A black robe surrounded by gold patterns, noble and mysterious, inexplicably frightening.

"Hahaha, the presence of Young Master Ling Xiao really brings glory to the court of Emperor Shenwu."

Emperor Shenwu strode into the hall and nodded slightly towards the black-clothed boy who was walking towards him.

After the young man died, Xuanyuan Weiyang was dressed in spotless white clothes.

Yao Guang is even more sheltered by a white robe, and the Buddha's brilliance is ups and downs.

Only Wu Nianci, the third princess of Shenwu, although she is also a world-renowned figure, has no brilliance in front of the two women.

Seeing Wu Nianci, Emperor Shenwu's eyes trembled slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.

Being able to be brought to the imperial palace in such a grand manner by Young Master Ling Xiao, it seems that this daughter of mine should be favored by the young master.

In this way, his painstaking efforts were not in vain.

"See you son!"

On both sides of the Golden Hall, whether it was the seventeen princes or the powerful officials of the gods, they all bowed down and saluted.

Compared to Ling Xiao, their identities are really not worth mentioning.

"Emperor."

Ling Xiao smiled, his eyes flicked over the seventeen princes and the young men and women behind them, and he nodded slightly.

"Young master, please take your seat."

Emperor Shenwu turned around and personally led Ling Xiao to sit at the head, and then he shouted loudly, "Since the young master has arrived, the wedding banquet will begin."

"Legend, Princess Shenwu Wu Hongsi, blood-clothed Marquis Shen Jing'an, enters the palace to serve tea, thank you."

With a slightly sharp voice resounding, two figures in red robes came striding from outside the hall with happy smiles on their faces.

"Meet the emperor!"

Wu Hongsi and Shen Jing An stood under His Highness, bowed and bowed, and Emperor Shenwu didn't say much, just nodded slightly and said, "Let's begin."

"Yes!"

The two turned around and each served tea to thank the guests.

It wasn't until the last prince drank the tea that above the main hall, Emperor Shenwu nodded and said calmly, "Today, all the princes are gathered. This emperor wants to open the ancestral land of Shenwu, and use Xie Er and others to defend the frontier."

"It's just that the ancestral land is opened, and the seats are limited. Young Master Ling Xiao and Yao Guang Buddha came from thousands of miles away, so they should occupy a seat, and everyone in the palace can compete for the rest."

"Emperor Ron."

Hearing this, everyone immediately stood up and bowed down, obviously yearning for this land of the gods and martial ancestors.

It is said that in this ancestral land, many supreme ancestors of Shenwu who died in the battle to open the dynasty are buried, nourishing the dragon veins with the blood of the corpses, and it was only then that the emperor's dynasty flourished for 10 years.

The spiritual rhyme and Taoism contained in it, just thinking about it, makes people's hearts surge and shocks inexplicably.

If you are lucky enough to enter it, it will be a great fortune for anyone.

"Emperor."

only! !

Just when everyone was fighting for their seats, the young man in black sitting at the head of the hall suddenly put down his teacup and said with a gentle smile.

"Huh? Young Master?"

Emperor Shenwu was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Ling Xiao with some doubts.

"This time I came to Shenwu, and I saw the emperor's arrogance gathered, so I have a heartless request."

"My lord, it's okay to say."

"I want to choose a martial artist to be my accompanying general. I don't know what the emperor wants to do?"

"what!!"

Hearing this, the whole hall suddenly fell into an uproar, and the fighting spirit that was originally filling everyone's faces became more and more alarming.

Chapter 1294, Competing for qualifications

"Young Master's words are serious?!"

The golden brilliance overflowed from the eyes of Emperor Shenwu, like two big suns, blooming with infinite brilliance.

Even with his temperament, hearing Ling Xiao's words at this time was inexplicably shocking.

The young master of the Ling clan, this identity alone is enough to rival the young master of the world.

And to be his generals, attendants, and even servants and maidservants is a supreme honor.

What's more, once there is a prince or heir of a prince in the Shenwu Emperor's dynasty who becomes the young master's entourage, it means that the two forces will form a complete alliance. Let me ask Qingcang... how many people are there to fight against.

In today's troubled times, demons and ghosts are ready to move.

Rao is the Master of Daotian Palace, it is difficult to deter all evil.

However, Emperor Shenwu Dynasty wants to take the lead in this troubled world, and the background is not lost. It is the most sensible choice to make friends with the Ling clan.

As for the many arrogances in the palace at this time, they were full of anticipation, far more shocked than hearing the land of the gods.

As the only young master of the Primordial Ling Clan for 10 years, Ling Xiao gained the reputation of being the Emperor within a few months of his birth.

Follow him, and it is possible to truly reach the peak of heaven and earth, just like the masters of the seven palaces 10 years ago, follow the masters of the world and achieve supreme honor.

More importantly, this Young Master Ling Xiao is extremely protective of his followers.

Xiao Moyi, the young master of the Xiao Clan, is the best example.

"Naturally, what is the emperor's idea?"

Ling Xiao nodded slightly, his eyes calm.

From the moment he just entered the hall, he had seen that among the people in the hall, the one with the highest luck was Zhan Xiaotian who was sitting in the corner.

In other words, as long as he wants to compete for this opportunity, no one is his opponent.

"Okay! Of course! I wonder who the young master wants to choose? I am a martial artist, and I am here today. It is their honor to be the young master's entourage."

"Let's compete, my follower, naturally it can't be a mediocrity."

Ling Xiao said indifferently, and lightly sipped the tea in his cup.

Chance, he gave it.

Next, it depends on whether Zhan Xiaotian can grasp it.

"Okay! Did you all hear that? If you want to follow the young master, you should behave well."

Emperor Shenwu's eyes swept over everyone, and finally settled on his second son Wu Tianxing.

With the strength of the second prince, looking at Wu, he is also the top of his generation.

If he could follow Young Master Ling Xiao, it would be a great honor for Emperor Shenwu.

Now that the prince is in his prime, the second prince is also showing his talents.

When Emperor Shenwu stepped into the Supreme Realm, he should hand over the imperial power to one of the two.

To be honest, the second prince, Wu Tianxing, is more like the Emperor Shenwu when he was young.

Arrogant and domineering, but also extremely talented, good at solving everything by force, he is worthy of Wu's surname.

Can! !

Only the emperor knows how many disasters he caused when he was young and arrogant.

If it was in the past, Emperor Shenwu would be willing to give him time to sharpen his mind until he understands the way of a monarch and his ministers.

However, in today's troubled times, if one wrong step is taken, the whole dynasty may be destroyed.

Therefore, Emperor Shenwu is more inclined to pass the throne to Prince Wu Tianqi in his heart.

Although my eldest son's talent is not as dazzling as the second prince's, his temperament is extremely calm. He is only over three hundred years old, and he has already observed the government affairs and has a lot of experience.

With Emperor Shenwu in his hands, although there will not be too many breakthroughs, but... there is no problem in stabilizing the foundation.

only! !

The emperor's house, fighting for power and profit.

Especially the second prince's temperament, it is impossible to stay under others for a long time. Once the prince ascends the throne, it is very likely... to cause trouble from it!

"Tian Xing, you must seize this opportunity, otherwise...you made a mistake yesterday, and you should be punished for your crime!"

Thinking in this way, Emperor Shenwu immediately informed Wu Tianxing through sound transmission from his soul.

The latter froze for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"Master Ling Xiao!!"

Just when Wu Tianxing was about to get up, a humble shout suddenly came from the corner of the hall.

Hearing the sound, everyone was stunned and turned their heads to look.

But Zhan Xiaotian was dressed in white, stood up playfully, and waved to everyone.

"Zhan Xiaotian? What are you doing?!"

Beside him, a few dignitaries frowned slightly and scolded softly.

This silly Bo Yi is usually submissive, even if he is not serious.

After all, with the protection of the emperor, no one in Emperor Wudi's city dared to beat him to death.

But what occasion is today?

How dare you get up and pretend?

"Hehe, emperor, young master... go, go, don't stop me."

Zhan Xiaotian waved away the palms blocking him, walked into the hall, and bowed to Emperor Shenwu and Ling Xiao.

At this time, his face still had a playful expression, carefree and innocent.

"Xiao Tian! What are you doing?"

Emperor Shenwu frowned slightly, and asked in a deep voice.

To be honest, with the disposition of Emperor Shenwu, he had long wanted to find an excuse to secretly kill this heir of the War Emperor.

But these years, Zhan Xiaotian is a bastard and incompetent, he can be called the biggest dude in Wudi City, and he has never threatened at all.

Once, Emperor Shenwu also suspected that he was just pretending.

However, after countless trials, Emperor Shenwu still decided to save his life for the time being.

After all, the word "Zhanhuang" is of great significance to many ancient clans of the Xian Dynasty in the northwest of Qingcang.

Back then, when Emperor Wu conquered the world, his contribution to the war emperor was indisputable.

But in the end, he bravely retreated in a torrent, stationed on the frontier of Shenwu, and resisted all enemies.

This keep is 10 years.

And those war general god emperors who used to live and die with the war emperor have now been secretly demoted and lost their former glory.

once! !

The combination of these people would be a catastrophe for the rule of Emperor Shenwu Dynasty.

The cunning rabbit dies, but the good dog cooks.

It's a pity that the Qingcang billions of miles of mountains and rivers are not in the hands of Shenwu.

And this is also the reason why Emperor Shenwu never dared to act rashly.

It is easy to fight for the sky in this fairyland hegemony...It is difficult to defend the sky.

"Hey, Emperor, I would like to ask my lord, is it possible to be your follower only if you win this contest? No matter where you come from?"

Zhan Xiaotian looked at Ling Xiao with a grin, his eyes had no waves, only a shocking fighting spirit.

"nature."

Ling Xiao nodded slightly, calmly.
