Chapter 108: Contention in Chu Capital: Guest Minister

Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom, Chu Capital, outside the Dongcheng Gate.

At this moment, elite troops were already waiting respectfully outside this Dongcheng Gate, and even more large ships and flying ships were parked around; they were all waiting expectantly.

"I heard that this newly promoted Marquis Chu Yu was directly designated as a first-class Marquis." On one of the flying ships, a group of royal family children and clan children gathered together; they were also waiting.

"Marquis Chu Yu focuses on the law path and has mastered the infinite divine body! With the potential and talent of the infinite divine body, it is natural that he is a first-class Marquis as soon as he breaks through." A royal family child was extremely proud.

"Uncle Chu Yu even gave me pointers back then! Possessing an infinite divine body, his status within the clan is special. Now that he has broken through to the Chaos Realm, he has directly become the core layer of my Emperor Di Chu lineage."

These royal family children were all of the Emperor Di Chu lineage and were all honored at this moment.

"Amazing."

"Marquis Chu Yu is truly extraordinary."

Those clan children were flattering; in the Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom, the most core were the thirteen branches of the royal family, and other clans were much weaker. As for Chaos Realm families? Unless a "Chaos Realm transcendence" existence was born, Chaos Realm families were all very mediocre and couldn't get involved in the circles of the royal family and clans.

On another luxurious large ship.

Two figures were drinking together, with maids serving them on the side.

"A first-class Marquis is just different; he is granted a first-class Marquis mansion, granted personal troops, and his fief is also a 'first-class large city'." A chubby man sighed. "And he even has the quota to apply for two guest ministers."

"And what about us? We third-class Marquises have a fief that is a small city, a small cave dwelling, and are granted a few personal guards. We don't even have the qualifications to apply for guest ministers." The chubby man muttered.

The tall woman sitting next to him laughed: "We follow the bloodline cultivation system and use bloodlines to become Chaos Realm experts. Afterward, we must switch to the law path. Laws are too difficult for us; I only hope in this life to go a step further and become a second-class Marquis. As for a first-class Marquis, I don't even dare to think about it."

"You still have hope; you are at least a middle-level Chaos Realm expert now. And me..." The chubby man pointed at himself. "There are 29 Marquises in the Emperor Di Chu lineage including Marquis Chu Yu, and there are only two who have ordinary Chaos Realm strength, and I am one of them! I have been a Chaos Realm expert for over 3,000 epochs, and I am still just an ordinary Chaos Realm expert. I am too far from the top-tier Chaos Realm level."

As these two Marquises were chatting, they suddenly noticed space-time tearing in the distance, forming a space-time channel.

"They're here." The two Marquises were energized.

At this moment, the Marquises, royal family children, clan children, personal guard armies, etc., who had come to welcome them, all looked at the space-time channel in the distance.

They saw a total of five figures flying out of the space-time channel.

Emperor Master Di Chuyu took the Deputy Pavilion Master, and Luo Feng took Mo Luo Sa and Mo Yu Qingyan.

"Hmm? The man beside Marquis Chu Yu?"

"He is side-by-side with Marquis Chu Yu; clearly, Marquis Chu Yu respects this man in black very much."

All parties noticed Luo Feng, who was dressed in black.

"It is Biyun Dasheng Luohe from the Yu Kingdom." Some Marquises, royal family children, etc., who were well-informed, had long understood some powerhouses on the Origin Continent, and upon seeing Luo Feng, they immediately confirmed his identity.

"This Biyun Dasheng Luohe, in the Battle of Huyang City, suppressed Marquis Liuyin. His physical body has been cultivated to an unimaginable level; he can stand with his feet on the earth and his head touching the starry sky!"

"This is a peak Chaos Realm existence."

"He is with Marquis Chu Yu? Could it be that the first guest minister Marquis Chu Yu selected is him?"

Luo Feng and Emperor Master Di Chuyu traveled along the space-time channel from the distant Huyang City in the Yu Kingdom directly to the Chu Capital of the Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom. This also made Luo Feng quite moved: "Space-time teleportation is indeed extremely mysterious. I also had to rely on a space-time treasure to perform a space-time teleportation."

Chaos Realm experts almost cannot rely on themselves for space-time teleportation.

They all rely on treasures.

The value of space-time treasures that can be used long-term is too high. What Luo Feng possessed was a one-time talisman; it would be destroyed after one use. A space-time teleportation talisman must be activated at the Chaos Realm level, and one sells for 100 million cosmic sands. Even for Chaos Realm experts, they would only use it once at a critical moment.

Coming out of the space-time channel, Luo Feng saw at a glance the army outside the East Gate of the towering city, as well as the many large ships and flying ships.

"Greetings, Marquis!"

The army shouted in unison and bowed respectfully.

Emperor Master Di Chuyu looked at this scene and smiled slightly, saying to Luo Feng beside him: "This is the personal guard army granted to me after I became a Chaos Realm expert. These are all elites of the army cultivated by my Emperor Di Chu lineage."

Luo Feng took a look; this personal guard army had 1,000 Eternal True Gods and a massive number of Void True Gods. Even outside the city, under the command of the military formation, they were naturally like one, and their momentum was much more overbearing than Marquis Jiu Jiang's military formation or Xin Ying Men's army.

In the Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom, this personal guard army, which could be considered elite, was enough to sweep away Xin Ying Men's army and Marquis Jiu Jiang's military formation.

"Father!"

"Father!"

Before the military formation, a graceful woman with three young men looked at Emperor Master Di Chuyu excitedly; their father had been traveling and cultivating outside, and he had actually become a Chaos Realm expert and was even a first-class Marquis! This was wealth falling from the sky.

Whoosh!

Emperor Master Di Chuyu took Luo Feng and the others to the front of the military formation, looked at the three young men, and felt a bit of a headache.

"Chu Yu, upon learning the news of your ennoblement, I brought the three children and rushed back from Feng Ye City immediately." The graceful woman said.

"Father, the news of you becoming a first-class Marquis has already spread throughout the entire Chu Capital."

"There are only seven first-class Marquises in my Emperor Di Chu lineage, and Father is one of them." The three sons were all very excited.

Emperor Master Di Chuyu nodded, then introduced Luo Feng beside him: "This is my close friend, Biyun Dasheng Luohe. In the future, when you see him, it will be as if you are facing me; you must not be the slightest bit disrespectful."

"Greetings, Uncle." The three young men immediately bowed respectfully; they also realized that this must be a powerful helper their father had invited.

"Greetings, Biyun Dasheng Luohe." The graceful woman also said politely.

"Madam is too polite." Luo Feng smiled. He could see that the relationship between Emperor Master Di Chuyu and this woman should be very ordinary; after long years of not seeing each other, there was not the slightest intimacy. Emperor Master Di Chuyu instead walked to the side of an old servant beside the three children and was quite close.

"Marquis." The old servant's expression was excited.

"Zheng Lao, long time no see." Emperor Master Di Chuyu looked at this old servant who was only at the Void True God level.

"This old servant has finally seen Your Highness ennobled, and as a first-class Marquis at that." This Zheng Lao was quite excited.

This old servant was left behind by Emperor Master Di Chuyu's mother; when Emperor Master Di Chuyu was at his weakest, it was this old servant who had been following and taking care of him! Called an old servant, but actually a close relative.

Just as their family was reuniting—

"Chu Yu!"

"Brother Chu Yu!"

The Marquises of the Emperor Di Chu lineage finally appeared.

Emperor Master Di Chuyu looked up and saw the Marquises, who had quite high status within the clan, all coming to welcome him with great enthusiasm.

!.

Luo Feng was observing all of this. Before coming to the Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom, Emperor Master Di Chuyu had also given him relatively detailed intelligence on the true top powerhouses of the Origin Continent. This included detailed records of all Chaos Realm experts within the Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom.

Luo Feng compared them one by one.

"There are 29 Marquises in the Emperor Di Chu lineage of the Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom, and seven came to welcome Emperor Master Di Chuyu today. Of these seven, five are third-class Marquises, and two are second-class Marquises." Luo Feng identified them instantly.

As for the first-class Marquises who had status equivalent to Emperor Master Di Chuyu, not a single one came.

"I heard that the competition within the royal family is fierce, and first-class Marquises are direct competitors with each other." Luo Feng understood this point.

Like the so-called third-class Marquises, the royal family is actually in a state of semi-abandonment, only giving the most basic resources, and nothing else!

Second-class Marquises have many more resources.

Only first-class Marquises can touch the true core resources of the entire Origin Continent. They also have to engage in cruel competition with each other.

"As a guest minister, the threshold for obtaining resources is much higher than that of a first-class Marquis." Luo Feng was clear about this point. The Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom focuses on cultivating their royal first-class Marquises; first-class Marquises are absolute elites.

As for guest ministers? It is more of an exchange relationship.

Guest ministers serve the ancient kingdom! They obtain merit in exchange for some resources. Therefore, the resources obtained are naturally far inferior to those of first-class Marquises.

After dealing with the many Marquises, Emperor Master Di Chuyu finally took Luo Feng onto the large ship.

On the large ship.

The wife and three children had gone to the back, and Emperor Master Di Chuyu and Luo Feng were sitting in the front hall, looking at the Dongcheng Gate ahead.

"Those who came to welcome us are all second-class and third-class Marquises." Emperor Master Di Chuyu explained. "There are three God Kings in my Emperor Di Chu lineage; the God Kings are high and mighty and naturally won't handle trivial matters. Many affairs are handled and decided by us first-class Marquises."

"So they are also here to curry favor with you." Luo Feng understood.

For royal first-class Marquises, they are either Chaos Realm experts with infinite divine bodies or peak Chaos Realm experts. Meeting either of these requirements allows one to become a first-class Marquis.

Of course, this is the requirement for royal family children.

For rogue cultivators like Luo Feng, wanting to become a guest minister is a troublesome matter.

"I have already applied for you to become a guest minister." Emperor Master Di Chuyu smiled. "Under normal circumstances, it will pass."

"Under what circumstances would it not pass?" Luo Feng asked.

"One, insufficient strength. Two, identity issues." Emperor Master Di Chuyu smiled. "You are a peak Chaos Realm expert, so your strength is definitely enough. As for your identity? Your identity definitely has no problems."

Hum~~~

The large ship flew over the vast Dongcheng Gate of the Chu Capital, and the personal guard army was also entering.

"How are you so sure that my identity has no problems?" Luo Feng was puzzled.

"Our Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom recruits guest ministers without caring much about their background; whether they are monstrously sinful, have extremely strong luck, or are even entangled in many terrifying causes and effects... the Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom doesn't care at all! As long as one point is confirmed: they are not an alien race." Emperor Master Di Chuyu said.

"Alien race?" Luo Feng asked.

"That is, life outside the Cage." Emperor Master Di Chuyu said. "The inheritance resources of our Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom can be taught to any life within the Cage. But they will never be passed on to an alien race."

Luo Feng was secretly shocked.

Alien race?

"When we enter the Chu Capital, it represents that you are a life within the Cage." Emperor Master Di Chuyu explained. "This Chu Capital city was refined by the ancestor of our Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom personally as a congratulatory gift for the Twelve Di Jun. Any alien race entering this city will be discovered!"

Luo Feng marveled.

The most mysterious and terrifying existence in the Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom is that Yan Feng ancestor, followed by the thirteen Twelve Di Jun!

"Hmm?" Emperor Master Di Chuyu suddenly smiled. "As soon as you entered the city and your identity was confirmed to have no problems, your guest minister application was already approved. You have officially become a guest minister of my Emperor Di Chu lineage. Congratulations, Brother Luohe!"

Luo Feng smiled: "Thank you, Brother Chu Yu."
