As soon as the Tian’ling Continental Tournament for Hegemony ended, the news of the competition was sent back to all kingdoms. Yan’zhou Kingdom also received accurate news.
“Your Majesty, there is news from the Organisers of the competition.”
Yun Tian Chen was discussing with the officials in the main hall when suddenly, a middle-aged man rushed in with an excited look.
The Emperor and the other ministers didn’t blame him for being reckless when they heard that it was news from the Organisers, and their eyes revealed some anticipation.
They had already received news that Lou Mu Yan, Yun Zi Mo, and the others had never been eliminated and successfully entered the finals. The entire Yan’zhou Kingdom was boiling with exhilaration then.
They originally wanted to celebrate grandly, but was stopped by the Imperial Ancestor, saying that it wouldn’t be too late to hold it when it finished.
“What’s the result of the finals? Did little Lou girl make it into the top hundred?” Yun Tian Chen clasped the armrest of his throne tightly. Although he thought it was impossible, but he was still hopeful.
After all, the best results was Yan’zhou Kingdom ranked in the thousands. The fact that the several people could enter the top five hundred not only shocked them, but it also made them unable to resist having higher hopes.
“Y-Your Majesty, all-all have entered.” The middle-aged man gasped a few times, then said excitedly.
Yun Tian Chen’s eyes widened and the veins on his hands that clasped the armrest were popping, “What do you mean that they all entered? All five entered the top hundred?”
The officials also turned their attention to the middle-aged man, expecting him to say good results.
The middle-aged man swallowed his saliva and calmed his emotions as he said with an excited smile: “Yes. There is news from the Organisers that all five from our Yan’zhou Kingdom entered into the top hundred and Young Miss Lou also won first place in the Tian’ling Continental Tournament for Hegemony.”
“What?” Yun Tian Chen stood up from his throne in utter shock, a face filled with disbelief. He stretched out his hand and pointed at the middle-aged man with slight trembling and asked: “You-You mean that little Lou girl won the championship of this Tournament of Hegemony?”
“Yes, Your Majesty.” The middle-aged man took a deep breath and said with a smile: “This official also couldn’t believe it and asked a few more times. The Organisers were certain that the news is true and the reward for our Yan’zhou Kingdom will all be sent over within three months, and they have allowed Yan’zhou Kingdom to expand our territories and be promoted to a Large Second Rank Kingdom in the Eastern Region.”
Lou Zhan Tian and Lou Mo Yu both looked shocked and happy. Their Yan’er actually won the first place in the competition, and Mu Bai also entered the top hundred. It was all like a dream.
The other officials went quiet for a moment, then instantly exploded. They congratulated Yun Tian Chen and the father and son of the Lou Clan, and their attitudes were also much more sincere and respectful.
Lou Mu Yan won the first place in the Tournament for Hegemony—this meant that the Lou Clan was bound to follow the rising tide and become the largest Clan in Yan’zhou Kingdom.
As long as the brother and sister pair of the Lou Clan continued to rise in their Sects, Yan’zhou Kingdom could even be promoted again to a Large First Rank Kingdom in the Eastern Region because of them.
At this time, even those who had grudges with the Lou Clan had mixed emotions, but they all congratulated them sincerely. After all, with Yan’’hou Kingdom growing stronger, it was beneficial to all of them.
Of course, Gu Yuan Kai’s eyes were filled with grimness, but he smiled kindly and joined the congratulatory teams.
Yun Tian Chen waved his arm excitedly and commanded: “Report this good news to the people of the entire Empire, and when the five of then return to the Empire, a three-day celebration banquet will be held.”
“Yes!”
Yun Tian Chen then gave another order to the Celebration Official and hurriedly left the Great Hall. He had to tell the news to Imperial Ancestor quickly.
On the same day, the entire Yan’zhou Kingdom knew that the former Miss Trash of the Lou Clan had won the championship in the Continental Tournament for Hegemony, and they were all shocked!
The admiration for her also gradually increased, and the entire Empire was filled with joy.
Especially because of Lou Mu Yan, Yan’zhou Kingdom could not only expand their territory and be promoted to a Large Second Class Kingdom, but could also obtain many resources rewarded by the Organisers. This made the Sword Masters of the Distinguished Clans and Imperial Family all boil with excitement.
“Who would’ve known! Who would’ve known.” Xiao Zi Ang took a sip from a wine cup, “Lou Mu Yan, that prodigal woman, would actually win the championship. I thought that they would be amazing if they could even advance into the top five hundred.”
There was jealousy and pride in his tone, but not much envy.
Yun Luo sat opposite him and smiled bitterly: “Yeah! When Lou Mu Yan was selected by the Imperial Teacher and the Principal for one of the five spots, many people even objected and waited to see the Lou Clan’s joke. Now is a real slap to their faces.”
“Yun Lan and those boys should’ve been exposed to that girl’s light this time.” Xiao Zi Ang snorted. His several brothers and good friends were all going to Sects now, but he still wandered around Yan’zhou Kingdom.
He huffed, but he was also proud and happy for them inwardly.
Yun Luo sighed: “Is there a need to say such an obvious thing?”
These people had a good relationship with Lou Mu Yan. That woman differentiated clearly between love and hate and was sure to take care of them.
Lou Mu Yan was being discussed in many places in the Imperial Capital and she had become the protagonist of a magical story where a trash turned into a genius.
In a large hall of the Palace, the usually calm eyes of the Imperial Ancestor were also filled with excitement and joy, and he laughed a few times: “Good! Good! Good!”
After talking to Yun Tian Chen about the future preferential treatment of the Lou Clan, he calmed down and said: “Since the little Lou girl gave us such a surprise, we can also start to get rid of the Gu Clan.”
They had already grasped the news that the Gu Clan was actually a spy from another Kingdom. They didn’t do anything before because they wanted to wait for an opportunity. Now, it had obviously arrived.
“Yes. Grandson will arrange it now.” Yun Tian Chen nodded with a ruthless look in his eyes.
At the same time, several men in black cloaks were sitting in a secret room of the Gu Clan.
“Humph, Master told you to get rid of the Lou siblings long ago. But you rubbish not only destroyed our army, but also let them grow to this level. You deserve to die.” The black-clothed Sword Monarch cultivation base man slammed the wooden table beside him into pieces with his palm, evidently exceptionally angry.
Gu Yuan Kai’s expression changed and he asked respectfully: “Envoy. Is our plan still going as usual?”
“Our Empire’s plan has already been brewing for so long and will naturally not change because of Lou Mu Yan, this variable. On the contrary, I have received news from Master that the plan will begin ahead of schedule.”
The man’s voice was filled with grimness, “Before the Lou brother and sister pair returns, the plans on the border has already begin.”
Gu Yuan Kai was stunned for a moment, then joy appeared on his face. He had long hated the Lou Clan and Lou Mu Yan to death. If the plan was implemented, he would be able to take revenge.
“Then will we offend the Sword Sect or the Eight Extremes Sect for this?”
“Humph, so what if we offend them? Are they going to interfere in the war between two kingdoms? If we kill them both, they can only recognise this as a dumb loss. After all, neither of them has reported to the Sects yet.” The man paused, then snorted coldly.
“This is also one of the reasons why we must implement the plan in advance. If we wait for the two to grow in the Sects and make Yan’zhou Kingdom a Large First Rank Kingdom, then our annexation plan would probably fail.”
The man sitting in the main seat was filled with sternness, “Master will never tolerate such a thing happening.”
Although the Six Major Sects were terrifying, but it was impossible for them to interfere much for two dead people. This time, even if they sacrifice a few strong Sword Sovereign powerhouses, they must still be killed.
Fortunately, the two Lou siblings hadn’t entered the Sect and accumulated personal networks, otherwise, it would be troublesome if a superpower kingdom or other Regional large kingdoms interfered. Lou Mu Yan who exited the Teleportation Array with Si Nan and arrived at Rui’an Palace did not know that a conspiracy that had been brewing for many years was unfolding.
