PFC Chapter 312 Candidate for the Throne
Chapter 312 Candidate for the Throne
Once this decree was announced, the Zuhuang plane was shaken.
The reactions of other giant-level sects were fine. After the ancestor of Guangming Hall learned about it, he stepped out of the forbidden area of Guangming Hall for the first time.
He looked far away in the direction of the imperial city without saying a word.
The head of Guangming Hall stood behind him, feeling the terrifying aura of the old man, and lowered his eyes, not daring to speak.
In fact, the leader of Guangming Hall could not be happy at this moment.
He and Ji Wantang have a feud over the murder of one of their children, but no matter what, Ji Wantang is the hope for their Guangming Hall to prosper forever.
His son could not be resurrected after he died, so he couldn't just ignore Ji Wantang just because of a child with mediocre talent.
And no matter what his relationship with Ji Wantang was like in private, the two of them always represented the absolute reputation of Guangmingtang to the outside world.
Now Lin Zhao suddenly emerged and was conferred the title of Marquis of Wu'an at the age of seventeen. Everyone knew what this meant.
Being conferred a title of nobility before the age of twenty was Ji Wantang's treatment.
When Ji Wantang was fifteen years old, he was conferred the title of Marquis Dingguo, which was almost an announcement to the world that Ji Wantang was the next heir to the throne.
However...Marquis Wu'an.
The meaning is too obvious.
He also ordered the Phoenix Medicine Sect to be allowed to enter the Central Continent as an exception, which was paving the way for Lin Zhao.
Give her the status and qualifications to be on equal footing with Ji Wantang.
"Your Majesty, do you really want to force Guangming Hall into a dead end?" The head of Guangming Hall couldn't help but sigh.
So what if Lin Zhao reached Nascent Soul stage at the age of seventeen?
Ji Wantang has been at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage for some time. With Ji Wantang's talent, he will definitely be able to break through to the Spiritual Transformation stage within a hundred years. How can Lin Zhao compare to him?
Before the hall master could say anything else, the imperial edict from Emperor Zuhuang arrived at the Dingguo Marquis Mansion.
It was an imperial decree to promote Ji Wantang to the rank of Duke Dingguo.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was Emperor Zuhuang's way of comforting Guangming Hall and Ji Wantang.
Although his title was promoted, for Ji Wantang, there was no difference between a marquis and a duke.
But with this decree, Guangmingtang and Ji Wantang could not say anything about Emperor Zuhuang's treatment of Lin Zhao.
Because Lin Zhao's talent and strength were enough.
When the head of Guangming Hall heard the news and thought he could only swallow his anger, the ancestor of Guangming Hall finally spoke up: "No."
The head of Guangming Hall asked: "Ancestor, what is not allowed?"
"Wantang is not of royal blood, but she is qualified to inherit the throne and be conferred a title. In addition to being the first among the younger generation, she also possesses the most refined power of the plane created by Zuhuang - Phoenix Luck. This Lin Zhao was conferred the title of Marquis of Wu'an, so she must be a marquis, and she must not be qualified to inherit the throne."
The leader of Guangming Hall still believes that Ji Wantang has a sure win, but the ancestor of Guangming Hall understands his old rival, Emperor Zuhuang.
If this old woman had not been certain that Lin Zhao could have an impact on Ji Wantang, she would not have welcomed Lin Zhao to the Central Continent with such fanfare.
In this case, he had to cut off Emperor Zuhuang's fundamental idea and make sure that Lin Zhao and Ji Wantang were not opponents of the same level from the very beginning.
But he thought faster, and Emperor Zuhuang's announcement was even faster.
On the Tiantong Mirror, it was no longer just the Zuhuang Plane that knew about the final order of the Zuhuang Emperor. The top planes created by the five great creator gods also learned at the same time that Lin Zhao was named one of the candidates for the throne because she was carrying the ancient phoenix luck.
Ancient Phoenix Luck is able to be on par with Ji Wantang’s Blood Phoenix Luck.
Even more so in terms of orthodoxy.
All the solutions that the Guangming Hall ancestor had finally thought of were blocked, and his face looked very ugly.
"When did the Zuhuang Continent have two daughters of Phoenix Luck?!" The head of the Guangming Hall frowned tightly.
The Guangming Hall Patriarch thought of something: "No, it's not the Zuhuang Continent, it's the Tianhuang Continent."
When he brought Ji Wantang to the Zuhuang Continent, he also knew that there was another abandoned Destiny Phoenix Girl on the Tianhuang Continent.
What that girl has is the ancient phoenix luck.
Thinking of the bounty that Ji Wantang had issued on the Tiantong Mirror, the Guangming Hall Patriarch slowly lowered his eyes and said grimly.
"It seems that I wasn't completely destroyed back then. But since you came here yourself, let Wan Tang turn you, the useless phoenix, into a dead phoenix."
……
Compared to the bleak situation of Guangmingtang, other giant-level forces can be described as celebrating in recent days.
Over the years, their young generation has been suppressed too much by Ji Wantang, and they have been living in fear for the fact that once Ji Wantang ascends the throne, they, the rival forces of Guangming Hall, will sooner or later have a hard time.
Of course, the top leaders of these forces were still very reserved. After all, they were confident that even if Ji Wantang ascended the throne, it would at most make them a little sad, but would not shake their foundation.
But... overall, this is all a good thing, isn't it?
The opponent’s misfortune is their happiness!
Among them, Lingtian Pavilion was the most gloating.
After Yang Mingcheng, the head of Lingtian Pavilion, learned the news, he happily played chess with his granddaughter for three days.
Yang Jingjing yawned: "Grandpa, I want to go back."
Yang Mingcheng laughed: "Then let your mother come. Grandpa has been holding back his anger for more than ten years and finally he has calmed down. I'll beat your father less these days."
Yang Jingjing was speechless: "Mom is in seclusion to overcome the tribulation. As for Dad, he is still recovering from his injuries. If we fight him again, he will be killed."
When Yang Mingcheng heard that his daughter-in-law didn't have time and his son who was collecting debts had not yet recovered from his injuries, he asked someone to send the best healing medicine to Yang Jingjing's father and asked him to make sure he got better within the next two days.
"When the Phoenix Medicine Sect arrives, you and I will go visit them together. The Phoenix Medicine Sect is only a first-rate force after all, and its prestige cannot compare to that of the Guangming Hall. Hey, but my Lingtian Pavilion is different."
I didn't dare to provoke Guangmingtang before because of Ji Wantang, but now...
Yang Jingjing reminded: "Grandpa, Lin Zhao is only in the early stage of Yuanying, she may not be Ji Wantang's opponent."
Yang Jingjing's meaning was very clear. Lin Zhao's current strength on paper was still much lower than Ji Wantang's. If she was in such a hurry to get close to him openly now, once Ji Wantang ascended the throne, the first thing that would be liquidated would be Lingtian Pavilion.
Yang Mingcheng paused and said, "Then wait and see?"
Yang Jingjing made her move: "Lingtian Pavilion cannot express its position, but my granddaughter can support Lin Zhao in her own name."
Given Yang Jingjing's status as a member of the Great Wind Bird royal family and her position as the young master of Lingtian Pavilion, her support is actually the support of these two forces.
But in this case, even Guangmingtang cannot directly find fault with this attitude.
With Lingtian Pavilion's own foundation, as long as no direct evidence is found, even if Ji Wantang ascends the throne, there is nothing to say.
Yang Mingcheng said, "You have thought it through. Then let's wait for Lin Zhao to arrive at the Central Continent before we take action. No, this is too exciting. I will definitely beat your father up a few more times."
Yang Jingjing took a sip of tea and her eyes fell towards the direction of the northwest continent.
"Lin Zhao, the Central Continent is your real starting point."
She is not someone who would invest easily.
