Nangong Fan explained. His red eyes that were stimulated by the alcohol revealed an extremely strong fighting intent.
The Imperial Assembly was the grand event that every genius of every empire desired to participate in the most! Jiuyou Ancient Prefecture, a battle between countless geniuses from several tens of empires. Just thinking about it made one's blood boil.
"Why is it that before, it is held once every ten years, but this time, it has to be shortened by one year?" Jiang Feng asked. He knew the answer to the question far better than most people, so he would not be fooled by it on the surface.
"I don't know about that, the Imperial Assembly is something that the Holy City of Nine Serenities planned himself. It's up to them to decide when the Imperial Assembly is going to be held." Nangong Fan didn't know much about this, so his knowledge was limited.
"Oh right, I forgot to tell you one thing, not long ago, there was chaos in the Imperial City, and Yu Chunqiu managed to order the death of all the nobles, including the Thunder King, to be killed due to disloyalty!" Nangong Fan thought about this and quickly told Jiang Feng.
"The six noble lords of the Thunder King have been killed ?" Jiang Feng's gaze turned cold. This matter had shocked him quite a bit, but after some thought, it made sense for the Rain Emperor to be determined to seize the throne. As the Sovereign King, Yu Chunqiu had been tolerating it all these years, but after thinking about how he should not feel sullen at all, because after obtaining the Ancient Book of the Rain Emperor, it was the best opportunity to strike.
Especially since killing the Thunder King and the others ahead of time before the Rain Emperor returned could directly weaken the power of the Rain Emperor bloodline and give a shock to the people of the imperial city.
However, from the looks of this action, Yu Chunqiu would not make a move against the Rain Emperor in the near future. Otherwise, he would not have been one step ahead of them.
Jiang Feng secretly thought in his heart. As for the reason, he could more or less guess it now.
If they were to take action in advance against the Rain Emperor, Huo Ting and Ye Gucheng would definitely be killed together. At that time, who would still be participating in the competition for the Imperial Assembly?
At that time, wouldn't it be a joke to the other empires in the Imperial Assembly? Not even a genius would be able to make it?
Especially in such a situation where he was worried about both internal and external factors, Yu Chunqiu would definitely not let such a thing happen.
Moreover, now that the three great empires have descended, they have brought along talents with them. When the time comes, there would be a clash and Yu Chunqiu would be even less able to eliminate the Rain Emperor s.
Moreover, there was an important factor: Yu Chunqiu's strength may not be able to annihilate the Rain Emperor bloodline in one fell swoop.
Taking all these into consideration, annihilating the six great dukes, weakening the power of the Rain Emperor bloodline, and then intimidating them was the most reasonable decision to make.
On one hand, it could guarantee that they would not be caught red-handed, and on the other hand, it could allow them to use this period of time to raise their cultivation through the use of complete Ancient Book of the Rain Emperor.
If Yu Chunqiu was present and knew what Jiang Feng was thinking, he would probably be shocked because his plan was exactly the same as what Jiang Feng had predicted. Jiang Feng had even seen through this matter even more thoroughly than him.
"I bet that the Emperor will gather all the geniuses from all over the empire and head to the Imperial City to meet with the geniuses of the three empires!" Nangong Fan asserted.
In the The Secret Realm of Rain's experience, he had lost more than half of Rain Country's geniuses, and currently, he, Jiang Feng, Ye Gucheng, and were the only ones on the Heaven's Pride Board!
As for Jun Wunian, he might not even return.
Other than that, the rest had all died. If they lost one or two more of these geniuses, they would not be able to participate in the Imperial Assembly. Most likely, they would not even have enough spots to participate, that would be the real joke, and would definitely be despised by the other empires.
The two chatted as they drank.
In the end, there was not a single drop left in the pot of excellent wine. Both of them were a bit dazed. At this moment, a sound transmission rang out, clearing Jiang Feng's head a lot.
It was Yu Chunqiu who sent a sound transmission to him, asking him to stay in the imperial city for a while.
"The Emperor is looking for me. He should be busy. I'll be going first." Jiang Feng said to Nangong Fan, and then took his leave, his entire body turning into a ray of light.
In just a few breaths of time, Jiang Feng arrived at the imperial city, and saw Yu Chunqiu in a quiet pavilion.
After just a few days, Jiang Feng realised that Yu Chunqiu's cultivation had increased by a lot, and the Qi he was faintly emitting was even stronger, probably because he was cultivating with the Ancient Book of the Rain Emperor.
But from Yu Chunqiu's expression, he seemed to be extremely tired.
"With your intelligence, you should know why I called you here, right?" Yu Chunqiu said with a smile.
"The Sovereign King's Heart, I can't guess!" Jiang Feng said indifferently.
"You're giving me face." said with a profound tone. With how could he not see that Jiang Feng had said that on purpose, he was just taking care of his face.
Jiang Feng laughed and declined to comment: "Why is the Sovereign King looking for me, I think it's better to just speak frankly."
"Then I won't beat around the bush!"
"The Holy City of Nine Serenities s would gather in the Imperial Assembly once every ten years, and when that time comes, the Jiuyou Ancient Prefecture, as well as the thirty great empires, would send out their talents to participate. The people who enter the top fifty will receive rich rewards, and they will also be able to raise the ranks of their empires based on their rankings. The reason why our Rain Country is a A Tier 3 Empire, is because no genius has been able to produce an outstanding performance in the Imperial Assembly for many years. "
After saying that, Yu Chunqiu sighed, his expression somewhat lonely. It was a type of glory, an incomparably noble honor, but Rain Country had not enjoyed such an honor in too many years.
In all of the previous Imperial Assembly s, all of them were existences at the bottom. The label A Tier 3 Empire was a form of humiliation, but this humiliation had not been removed for many years.
"Sovereign King's meaning is, you want me to join the Imperial Assembly?" Jiang Feng asked, his expression calm.
Right, in the Rain Country, there are not many people who have the qualifications to participate. Although your cultivation cannot be considered to be heaven defying, I believe that in two years, you will be able to amaze the entire Imperial Assembly!
"It is my honor to be able to gain the trust of the king. However, I only wish to train with my heart and not participate in any competitions." Jiang Feng's expression was cold, he rejected them flatly. He was not a puppet cultivated by the Imperial City, he would do whatever he was told.
As for glory, Jiang Feng did not care, increasing his own strength was the key, his relationship with Yu Chunqiu, was only built on the transaction at the beginning, and now, the transaction had ended, Yu Chunqiu did not have the qualifications to make him do anything, even if he was the ruler of the generation.
"I want you to come, but it's not an order. So many talents want to participate in the Imperial Assembly, do you know the real reason? " Yu Chunqiu seemed to be expecting something, and was not angry because of Jiang Feng's rejection, but instead looked at him mysteriously and said.
"Reward?" Jiang Feng asked, he could only guess one reason, it was because cultivators always put their benefits first.
