Chapter 735 - 735 Morning Assembly

735 Morning Assembly

The Emperor of the Holy Sword Empire was a white-haired young man in a white imperial robe.

He had a handsome face, jade-like skin, and bright eyes. He sat on the throne like a divine sword.

A faint High-Tier Deity-level pressure emanated from “Him”.

The surrounding civil and military officials lowered their heads respectfully. There was no movement in the hall.

“Zhou Zhou/Yu Ling greets Your Majesty!”

Zhou Zhou and Yu Ling said respectfully.

Zhou Zhou clicked his tongue as he did not expect the Emperor of the Divine Sword Empire to be a top-notch High-Tier Deity-level expert.

“Rise.” Emperor-Lu Zhen said. Hisvoice was steady and powerful.

The two of them stood up when they heard this.

Lu Zhen looked at the two of them. His gaze lingered on Zhou Zhou for a while before looking at Yu Ling.

“Niece Yu Ling.”

“Long time no see.”

“How’s your King Father?”

“He” suddenly smiled.

“King Father has been doing very well recently. It’s just that he often talks about you every day. He says that he’s been plagued by national affairs in recent years and hasn’t competed with you in a long time.”

Yu Ling smiled.

Lu Zhen laughed out loud and said with a sigh, “It’s been 132 years since I last competed with Brother Ji.”

“I must carry my sword and meet Brother Ji after the calamity in front of me passes.”

“King Father will definitely be very happy to hear this.”

Yu Ling nodded and smiled.

Lu Zhen nodded and suddenly commented seriously.

“When I divined this morning, I already knew why you were here.”

“Don’t worry, the Knight Empire is in trouble. As a friend of the same race, how can our Divine Sword Empire not lend a helping hand?”

Lu Zhen looked at Zhou Zhou.

“I will send troops to support the Knight Empire after Nephew connects all the spatial teleportation arrays between the two countries!”

He said solemnly.

“My subordinates should be able to open the teleportation array between the two countries tonight.” Zhou Zhou said.

“Then I’ll personally bring people to the Knight Empire tomorrow!”

Lu Zhen said without hesitation.

Zhou Zhou and Yu Ling looked at each other in confusion.

The two of them felt that the current situation of the Divine Sword Empire did not seem to be very good…

Why did His Majesty agree so readily? Could they have guessed wrongly? Could it be that the Divine Sword Empire could handle the fog monster army they were facing with ease?

At this moment…

“Your Majesty, you can’t!”

At this moment, an old official in a black robe stepped forward.

“Our Divine Sword Empire is currently surrounded by six Scarlet Empires. There are more than 3 billion Scarlet Monsters protecting our empire. We really don’t have the energy to support other countries now!”

The old minister persuaded earnestly.

Then, he turned to look at Yu Ling and Zhou Zhou.

“Princess Yu Ling, King of the Blazing Sun, I’m really sorry. Under the current circumstances, our Divine Sword Empire really doesn’t have the strength to send troops to help you.”

When the other ministers heard that someone was the first to speak, they also stepped forward to persuade Lu Zhen to retract his order.

“Sun Cheng, Zhou Han, Jiang Chen… You talk too much!”

“This King has made up my mind!”

“I will bring the Fourth Pure Yang Army to the Knight Empire to provide support tomorrow!”

“Our Divine Sword Empire is the leader of the five great empires!”

“Now that our friends are in trouble, how can we not be an example?!”

“How many of our five human empires will be left after this calamity if we don’t support each other?!”

Lu Zhen looked at the ministers below resolutely. He had no intention of changing his mind.

As the eldest brother of the five empires,

“He” had to do this seeing that other Empires were in trouble.

Even if he had to withstand immense pressure.

The old minister still wanted to say something.

However, a majestic and vast sword intent erupted from Lu Zhen’s body and covered the entire hall in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, the other ministers were suppressed to the point of speechlessness apart from Zhou Zhou, who also released a majestic sword intent to resist Lu Zhen’s sword intent.

As for Yu Ling, she was not affected by Lu Zhen’s sword intent deliberately.

As such…

Zhou Zhou became the most eye-catching person in the entire hall.

All the ministers looked at Zhou Zhou in disbelief. They also felt the majestic sword intent on his body.

It was hard for them to imagine how this young man could grasp such a shocking realm of the Sword Dao at such a young age.

Lu Zhen naturally noticed the difference in Zhou Zhou.

“He” looked at Zhou Zhou with shining eyes.

Then, “He” stood up and laughed out loud before looking at him with admiration.

“How rare, how rare…”

“Judging from your age and the time you’ve spent, it’s unbelievable that you can comprehend such a shocking sword intent in such a short period of time…”

“Since ancient times, countless peerless sword cultivator geniuses have appeared in the human Qi Practitioner lineage!”

“And among them…”

“You—”

“Are top of the list!”

Lu Zhen said with certainty.

As soon as these words were spoken, all the ministers, including Yu Ling, who was beside Zhou Zhou, gasped slightly and looked at him in shock.

Especially Yu Ling.

She looked at Zhou Zhou with sparkling eyes.

Even though she knew that Zhou Zhou’s attainments in the Sword Dao were very high from his performance in Nine Net City, she did not expect that it could actually be so high!

One had to know that His Majesty was the descendant of Sword Emperor Fuyou, “His” words were extremely valuable.

Moreover…

Since the other party could say that Zhou Zhou’s Sword Dao aptitude was ranked first since ancient times, it was very likely that the other party had included Sword Emperor Fuyou.

Under such circumstances, he could still be ranked first!

It was obvious that Lu Zhen approved of Zhou Zhou.

“Ahem.”

Zhou Zhou blushed slightly.

His own people knew his situation.

His Sword Dao cultivation and aptitude were only replicated from Chi Xuantian.

How could it be as exaggerated as what His Majesty said?

Before today, he had not even focused on practicing sword techniques for a few days.

He felt a little embarrassed to be praised like this.

At the same time, Lu Zhen looked at the other ministers and suddenly snorted.

“A bunch of disappointing people. You’re sword cultivators, but none of you are as strong as a rising star who has only mastered supernatural power for less than a month.”

The ministers smiled bitterly.

“I’ve already decided to support the Knight Empire. There’s no need for you to say anything.”

“General Situ, I’ll leave the reorganization of the troops to you.”

Lu Zhen said.

The ministers looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly, but no one tried to persuade him anymore.

“Your Majesty, Yu Ling has something to say.”

At this moment…

Yu Ling stood up and said.

“Oh? Just tell me what you want to say.”

As Lu Zhen spoke, he was filled with the gentleness of an elder to a junior to Yu Ling. He did not have the airs of a ruler of the Empire at all.

“Actually, even though our Knight Empire has been attacked by the fog monster forces during this period of time,

with the help of the King of the Blazing Sun.”

“The general situation on the battlefield has eased a lot.”

“It’s just that we’re still a little powerless on a God Spirit-level battlefield.” Yu Ling said.

“Really?” When Lu Zhen heard that, he raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Zhou Zhou.

The other ministers also looked at Zhou Zhou in surprise. They did not know how Zhou Zhou, a Lord of a race that had just risen, could help the Knight Empire in a war of this level.
