Chapter 802: The Expansion of the Crimson Flame Palace
He could not see the Empress's true face.
The phoenix throne was surrounded by a layer of gauze curtain, which was like a hazy mist. The curtain was wrapped in some kind of impenetrable power, which they could not penetrate with their strength. Therefore, none of the ministers in the imperial palace had the opportunity to see the empress's face!
Only those who were truly close to the Empress were qualified to meet her.
For example, there was the Marquis of Yanluo who followed the Empress and started conquering the country from the small territory of Yanluo.
As for everyone else…
There's really no chance of that.
In particular, although the Empress of Zhongzhou was young, she was extremely shrewd. Once she ascended the throne, she made the vast Zhongzhou Dynasty completely submit to her majesty!
Her majesty stemmed from her terrifying strength!
It is said that within the imperial dynasty, or even within the entire Xuantian Realm, there is no one who can rival the Empress of Zhongzhou.
With such formidable strength, the Central Continent Dynasty should have continued to expand outwards, but Her Majesty the Empress seems to have never had such an intention. Besides, she is not actually within the dynasty.
After all, the world is so big, there are places to go.
Those who served as his subjects were nothing more than insignificant shrimps at the Empress's beck and call.
Which factions within the dynasty have been persuaded?
Qin Yiyao asked.
Her Central Plains Dynasty is now so stable that it is virtually impossible for it to be shaken. However, the problem is that even in such stability, other forces may still try to cause trouble.
In fact, there was only one, and that was the Crimson Flame Palace! The subject truthfully reported the names of those aristocratic families and sects.
Hear.
"Ha, the Crimson Flame Palace has a very long reach."
A cold glint flashed in Qin Yiyao's eyes.
Although those who were persuaded were all minor families and sects, and their importance was quite low, being unimportant was one thing, but daring to poach her members was another matter entirely, and she absolutely could not tolerate such behavior!
"A bunch of scoundrels of dubious origin, it's one thing for them to act arrogantly and domineeringly in other places, but now they've set their sights on us."
"You may leave now; others will handle this matter."
"Yes!"
Upon hearing that the order had been given, the kneeling official breathed a sigh of relief and hurried away.
Meeting the Empress is no easy task, especially when she is clearly in a bad mood. If you say the wrong thing, you might not have a good outcome.
Although I've never heard of her killing her subjects because she was in a bad mood...
"What exactly does the Crimson Flame Palace want?"
Qin Yiyao's eyes flickered slightly.
She actually knew very little about the Crimson Flame Palace.
All that is known is that it is a force of unknown origin, with their presence in many places. Although it has not been explicitly stated whether they are related to the Immortal Realm or the Demon Realm, Qin Yiyao knows that the backer behind them is definitely not a simple person!
"Sigh, they're like dragons, appearing and disappearing without a trace, and now they've come to cause trouble."
Qin Yiyao pondered for a moment, but couldn't think of a good way to deal with it.
She wasn't afraid of the Crimson Flame Palace confronting her directly, but rather this pervasive influence was what truly troubled Qin Yiyao. Only a few days had passed since Bai Feier told her that the Crimson Flame Palace was recruiting and expanding its influence, and in that short time, their reach had already extended to the Central Plains!
The Crimson Flame Palace is expanding very rapidly!
That's ridiculously fast!
"Should I step in and teach those guys a lesson?"
Yin Xueling's voice drifted from behind the phoenix chair.
As the Grand Steward of the Imperial Court, Yin Xueling's power was second only to Qin Yiyao's. Even when Qin Yiyao went out for a stroll, Yin Xueling was still in charge of the Imperial Court.
It's said that people progress faster when they change their environment.
Yin Xueling, who once lived in a desolate city, never lifting a finger and knowing almost nothing about the outside world, is now capable of standing on her own.
She also frequently kept in touch with her grandfather, Yin Rufeng, who was very happy and proud of her. Recently, the Crimson Flame Palace appeared, and Qin Yiyao didn't need her to worry about anything, but Yin Xueling was getting a little restless.
"No need, now is not the time for us to make a move."
Qin Yiyao sat on the phoenix chair, her eyes reflecting a cold and aloof expression.
The current situation was like a net concealing sharp blades. The appearance of the Crimson Flame Palace made her feel uneasy. This potential threat was like a silent storm, gradually approaching.
She gently stroked the armrest of the chair, lost in thought.
Although the Central Plains Dynasty is now as stable as a rock, this does not mean it can be complacent. Moreover, there are the realms of immortals and demons outside, which could make a move at any moment...
"If we do nothing, are we just going to let the Crimson Flame Palace poach people so brazenly?"
"This has really come to our head."
Yin Xueling frowned slightly. She didn't care that the Crimson Flame Palace was poaching people, since those aristocratic families and sects that might switch sides were all minor figures. But if she let them go, it would be a loss of prestige for the Central Continent Dynasty.
"Of course I won't let them continue to act so recklessly."
"But I probably know what their purpose is."
Qin Yiyao smiled slightly. The Crimson Flame Palace was trying to poach her talent, but she didn't intend to just sit idly by like nothing had happened. If this matter were to be left like this, what would become of the dignity of the Central Plains Dynasty?
Now that they've already extended their claws, Qin Yiyao naturally won't show any mercy.
But here's the thing.
What is the Crimson Flame Palace planning?
"Oh?"
Yin Xueling was puzzled. "Why do you think they're recruiting so aggressively?"
Qin Yiyao's smile grew even wider.
"They want to take over the Xuan Tian Realm?"
"If you want to take over the entire Xuantian Realm, there's no need to go through all this trouble or be so low-key. Just raise your banner and announce it to the world, and there won't be any problem at all."
"The Crimson Flame Palace has a strong foundation and accepts all comers. They definitely have the strength to compete for this world."
"But the Crimson Flame Palace is too low-key. Their purpose is definitely not that simple."
This made Qin Yiyao suspicious.
