Chapter 248 I Want All the Altars
Chapter 248 I Want All the Altars
In the palace hall, Jing Cangming and Bei Huang Zhengping were sitting together.
"Uncle Long, what do you want to talk to me about?" Jing Cangming turned his head and asked curiously, holding a wine glass.
Beihuang Longye picked up the wine glass with a smile and said, "Come, drink this first."
Hearing this, Jing Cangming lowered the height of his glass and gently clinked it with Bei Huang's, and then the two of them drank it all in one gulp.
"Hahaha, what a great feeling!" Bei Huang wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth with satisfaction.
Jing Cangming just gave a light snort, "Snort~"
"Cang Ming, to be honest, I am very grateful for your help and appearance. It has been ten years. That haze has been weighing on everyone's heart for ten years. If it weren't for the defeat of the foreign believers this time, we might be so scared that we wouldn't know what to do when we really encounter foreign countries in the future, right?" Bei Huang was a little sad, as if he was thinking of the dead again.
Jing Cangming waved his hand quickly, "Uncle Long, you don't have to say that. I believe that even if I don't show up, if there is a real fight against foreign countries in the future, the capable people in the Northern Continent will go forward bravely and fight to the death!"
Jing Cangming was not being modest, what he said was indeed true. Facing the moment of survival of the country, I believe that no one would not do so. After all, there are thousands of lights behind him!
"Okay! Man, let's not talk about this anymore. The main reason I called you here is that I feel that you have paid so much, but you only get the status of a nominal elder. I feel a little sorry for you. I want to ask you if there is anything you want?" Long Ye looked at Jing Cangming solemnly with a very serious expression. It can be seen that Long Ye was forcing Jing Cangming to accept it.
However, Jing Cangming was happy. After all, all the previous rewards were decided by the Northern Emperor himself, but he had not yet said what he wanted.
Jing Cangming hesitated and didn't know how to say it.
Bei Huang naturally saw through Jing Cangming's situation, "Cangming, don't worry, just ask. I can give you the position of Bei Huang. Is there anything else I can't give you?"
Hearing this, Jing Cangming took a deep breath, looked at Bei Huang and said, "Uncle Long, I want all the holy altars in the Northern Continent!"
"What?!" Long Luo felt a little unbelievable when he heard this, but seeing Jing Cangming's serious expression, he was definitely not joking. "This is not a trivial matter. Can you tell me your purpose?"
For the Northern Continent, no matter whether it is the continent or the wilderness, the altar is sacred and cannot be desecrated. Now Jing Cangming opened his mouth and asked for it all.
Jing Cangming shook his head gently, "I'm sorry, Uncle Long, I can't tell you the purpose, but there is one thing I can tell you very clearly, that is, all the altars in the Great Wilderness of the Western Continent have been demolished by me!"
Long Ye really didn't know what to say at this moment. He didn't say what he was going to do, but he wanted to demolish everything. He couldn't explain this to his people...
Seeing Long Ye's embarrassed expression, Jing Cangming simply used some ruthless tactics. He stood up and walked in front of Long Ye.
"Uncle Long, I want to ask you, do you believe me?" Jing Cangming looked at Long Ye seriously, looking forward to his answer.
Long Ye nodded without even thinking, "Of course I believe you!"
Jing Cangming smiled, "Okay, then if I say that the function of the altar is not to detect whether newborns are beast generals, but to absorb the beast general energy in their bodies to reduce the number of beast generals, do you believe it?"
Upon hearing this, Long Ye’s eyes widened, and it looked like his eyeballs were about to pop out.
Long Ye couldn't believe this fact at all! After all, the existence of the altar was not a matter of a few decades or hundreds of years, but tens of thousands of years! Now, with just one sentence from Jing Cangming, his generation's understanding of it was completely overturned!
Jing Cangming asked again, "Uncle Long, do you still believe in me?"
This time, Long Ye did not nod immediately. Instead, he fell into deep thought, thinking and analyzing.
Seeing this, Jing Cangming did not disturb Long Ye, but sat aside and went to drink.
He couldn't urge Long Ye to give him an answer decisively. After all, this was not a small matter, so he could only wait...
A moment passed, not long, but it felt as if the passage of time was unbearable.
"Cang Ming," Long Ye slowly raised his head, although he still looked incredulous.
Jing Cangming looked at Long Ye's expression and suddenly felt a pang in his heart. The result might not be what he wanted, but it didn't matter. If Long Ye was willing to help, he would feel more relaxed. If he was not willing to help, he would have to take away the fragments of the altar sooner or later.
Jing Cangming stood up and walked slowly towards Long Ye. He didn't want to walk too fast. Even a second could become a buffer to change the outcome.
"Uncle Long, have you made up your mind?" Jing Cangming came closer and asked slowly.
Long Ye nodded, as if he had aged several years in an instant, "Cang Ming, I believe what you said, but the problem now is not with us, but with the people. The altar is their backbone and foundation. If I suddenly tell them to tear it down, I won't be able to explain to everyone."
Jing Cangming nodded, indicating that he agreed with Long Ye's words. What Long Ye said was indeed right. Just because he could believe in himself, it didn't mean that everyone in the entire Northern Continent could believe in him. A thousand people have a thousand ideas.
"Uncle Long..." Jing Cangming was about to say something but was interrupted by Long Ye.
"I can't help you openly, but in secret..." Long Ye frowned and looked at Jing Cangming in front of him without saying anything else.
Jing Cangming immediately understood and nodded with a wicked smile.
The situation is much simpler now. The Northern Emperor cannot help openly, but he can help you secretly. Then the Northern Emperor sent people to appease the villagers. When everyone sees that the newborn has awakened his soul without the altar, then slowly the altar will not be so important to everyone.
Good! Let’s do it right away. Jing Cangming immediately decided that it’s better to act now than to wait for a better day!
Now the backbones and leaders of all forces are basically here, and there are also some altars among those aristocratic families and one in the imperial city. I plan to take these down first.
"Uncle Long, should I go first?" Jing Cangming asked.
Long Ye naturally knew that this kid couldn't wait any longer, so he waved his hands and said helplessly, "You are so impatient. Go ahead. The Heavenly Punishment Troops are at your disposal. From now on, they will be directly under your command as the Second Elder. They will be at your and my disposal!"
Jing Cangming immediately smiled happily, "Really?!"
"Go quickly. How can I, the great Northern Emperor, deceive you?" Long Ye said somewhat unhappily.
Jing Cangming said with a grin, "Hey, thank you Uncle Long!"
After saying that, Jing Cangming turned around and left.
Long Ye looked at Jing Cangming's departing back, and his eyes became blurred.
At this time, the Great Elder came over and said, "Your Majesty, what do you think the Second Elder wants the altar for?"
The Great Elder heard it. Not only the Great Elder, but the other elders also heard the conversation between Jing Cangming and Bei Huang just now. After all, they were all Beast Emperors, and in such noisy and bustling, their hearing would naturally not be affected.
Bei Huang shook his head and said, "Let him be. This boy is a natural dragon and has his own reasons to fly."
After hearing what Bei Huang said, several elders did not raise any objections and all of them stared at Jing Cangming's back as he walked away.
"It would be great if this boy was from our Northern Continent," said the third elder.
The Third Elder and Jing Cangming felt that they had met too late, and their personalities were very different.
"Haha, how could I not think so? Otherwise, I would not have handed over the position of Northern Emperor," said Northern Emperor with some regret.
The Great Elder and others all nodded at this time, and it was completely impossible to tell that they had been opposing this matter just now.
Outside the hall, tens of thousands of people were reveling, and it was almost a sea of people, so crowded that it was very difficult to move forward.
However, flying is prohibited in the Northern Palace, and no one is allowed to use flying skills, not even Jing Cangming.
There was no other choice, Jing Cangming had to stand on the steps of the main hall and determine two locations, one was where Long Luo and Qianjun were, and the second was where the Heavenly Condemnation troops were.
Soon, Jing Cangming's sharp eyes locked onto them, and then he took action, heading towards the direction of Long Luo and others.
After a series of crowds and greetings, Jing Cangming finally arrived at where Long Luo was.
It was relatively easy to find him here. After all, he was the Northern Prince, so naturally, no one dared to crowd around him and consciously formed an open space for him.
"Hey? Third brother, you're here?" Long Luo said happily when he saw Jing Cangming.
Qianjun had just finished a drink with the captain of the Sharp-Horned Beast Hunter Captain. They had settled their past grievances over the wine and were now friends.
"Third brother, come and have a drink!" Qianjun picked up the wine glass and wanted to drink with Jing Cangming.
Jing Cangming naturally refused, "No, no, no, big brother and second brother, I came here this time because I have something to say."
"Wait a minute, second brother, let me introduce someone to you first," Qianjun interrupted Jing Cangming. It was obvious that this guy was a little drunk.
Qianjun, with a slightly blushing face, pulled the captain of the Sharp Horns to introduce him to Jing Cangming, "Third brother, this is the captain of the Sharp Horns Beast Hunter, Jian Ling."
Upon hearing this, Jing Cangming's face suddenly became gloomy.
Jian Ling took the initiative to extend his hand to Jing Cangming, trying to get to know Jing Cangming, but this guy seemed to be unaware that when Jing Cangming first came, he was almost killed by his own people.
Jing Cangming said sarcastically, "Oh~? So this is the famous Sharp-Horned Beast Hunter Captain Jian Ling! I've heard of your name for a long time."
Jian Ling was a little confused when he heard this. He didn't know what the feud between him and Jing Cangming was. "Brother Jing, what you said really makes me a little confused..."
Long Luo laughed and said, "When we first came to the Northern Continent, my third brother was almost bullied by the people in your team in the Beast Hunting Hall."
