Chapter 122: Officially Crowned King
Guests from all sides, flocked to the scene. If it weren't for those inferior nobles from outside being ordered by local officials not to follow suit and cause trouble, I'm afraid even if the East Lin Qin family prepared a thousand tables, they wouldn't be able to accommodate the guests coming from all over.
So, those who can go to the Qin family to congratulate them are basically the elite classes and high-ranking nobles from all over the place.
The Shi family, which was once the unchanging authority of Luojiang County for hundreds of years, has now become the lowest entry point for guests visiting the Qin family.
The world is unpredictable, and the speed of change is breathtaking.
The four major kingdoms, including the Akagi Kingdom, all sent representatives to attend. Especially the Akagi Kingdom, surprisingly, it was King Akagi himself who came.
The other three leaders were all from the highest echelons of their respective royal families and were basically the successors to their own kingdoms.
They are so cautious because they have obviously acknowledged the rise of Qin in their hearts, realizing that this trend cannot be changed and going against it will bring disaster to themselves.
Since it can't be changed, then just follow the trend!
What is the trend?
The trend is that Qin Wushuang took the lead in the martial arts trial and won the double championship!
The fact is that Qin Wushuang made her uncle Song Lingfeng bow his head and admit defeat!
It's settled then, abandoning Lin Qinshi's royal status and having it conferred by Lord Wu Sheng himself!
This is the trend of the times, whoever does not recognize this trend is not only an enemy of the Qin family but also an enemy of Wusheng Mountain.
Wu Sheng Mountain, what kind of place is that? That's the supreme core of the true Wu Sheng sacred land. All the winds in the Baiyue Kingdom start blowing from Wu Sheng Mountain.
The arrival of the four great royal families. Let the ordinary people in Donglin Town who have never seen the world before, be amazed and broaden their horizons.
However, the arrival of the four major royal families was just a small episode.
When Prince He Yunxiang, the representative of the royal family, appeared in Donglintown, the whole town was almost boiling.
Donglin Town has never been visited by a member of the royal family since its establishment, let alone the current crown prince! The future emperor!
But it didn't end there, just as everyone was still savoring the wonderful taste of the prince's arrival, something even bigger came.
The true martial sacred place, four great masters from the Martial Sacred Mountain, Xiao Qiqi arrived, came together to make Qin's prestige and power stronger, to congratulate and celebrate.
At this point, Donglin Town has completely gone mad.
The four great masters of the True Martial Sacred Land, who were almost like mythical figures in the country of Baiyue, actually walked out of myth and appeared before everyone's eyes. The Qin family village can be said to be flourishing.
Those sturdy men were all in high spirits, and when they worked, they doubled their efforts. They had been repeatedly instructed that they must make a good show and not lose face for the Qin family.
The Qin family is now the royal Qin clan! Whoever loses face will lose the entire royal Qin clan's face!
Guests take their seats, each in their own position.
The four great nobles, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, representatives of the four major royal families, sat uncontested in the chair.
The other guests were all very well-behaved and took their seats according to their status and position, without any confusion.
The crown prince stood up with a smile and said: "Everyone, before the banquet begins, let's go through the procedures that need to be followed in this palace. Please, Qin family father and son, receive the imperial edict."
Qin Lianshan and Qin Wushuang didn't hesitate at all, and hastily walked out of their seats.
All the guests also stood up solemnly.
The crown prince waved his hand: "Today is a grand celebration. Although it's an enthronement ceremony, no one needs to kneel down; just stand and listen to the proclamation!"
"Thank Your Majesty for your kindness, thank the Crown Prince for his kindness."
Everyone was solemnly waiting, but the four great masters had a smile on their faces, smiling calmly as they watched this scene. Only they could have such an attitude.
"Qin Wushuang, son of Qin Lianshan from Donglin, took the individual champion and team contribution value championship in this martial arts trial. Our country was founded on martial arts and values the way of martial arts. All rewards will be granted as promised. According to the agreement, the individual champion will be awarded a royal title with a different surname, 20,000 mu of land, and 60,000 taels of gold! The team contribution value championship will be awarded a marquis title, 10,000 mu of land, and 30,000 taels of gold. In total, the rewards are 30,000 mu of land and 90,000 taels of gold! Qin Wushuang is talented and virtuous, and his father Qin Lianshan is wise. Now, we confer upon his father Qin Lianshan the title of King Kaishan, with royal treatment; confer upon Qin Wushuang the title of Marquis Wushuang, also with royal treatment; and confer upon Qin Xiu the title of Duchess Donglin, enjoying the same treatment as a royal duchess. The territory conferred to the Qin family is named Tianxi Wangling, by imperial decree!"
The voice fell, and the whole audience cheered! Thunderous applause erupted, with waves of applause.
Qin Lianshan tried hard to control his emotions, but when he walked up to receive the edict, his heart was still trembling with excitement. He was too excited, it was an irrepressible excitement, a wild joy from the bottom of his heart!
Qin Xiu didn't expect that he would also be granted a title. Da Xu Ming, who was beside him, was also delighted for Qin Xiu.
The crown prince finished reading, smiled and sat down, saying: "King Kuai Shan, Marquis Wu Shuang, congratulations. I hope that from now on, the Qin family will work together with my imperial family to contribute a little power to our country of Baiyue, and ensure the safety of our country of Baiyue!"
"Your Highness, I, Qin, father and son, will surely dedicate ourselves to serving the country with utmost loyalty, to repay your kindness."
"Good, good, good!" The purple-robed grandmaster led the applause, "King Kao Shan, giving birth to a child is like Qin Wusuo! I admire you."
Qin Lian rushed to return the courtesy.
The majestic figure in the purple robe raised his hand, and with a calm demeanor, he effortlessly dominated the scene. Smiling, he said: "Everyone, I, along with Qin Wusuo, can be considered old friends despite our age difference. Let me say a few words as an elder. The Eastern Forest Qin family has established its reputation through martial arts, creating a legendary tale of royalty! All of this is not just the result of four people's hard work and dedication to the Taoist way. In the world of martial arts, there are no unspoken rules or hidden agendas. The Eastern Forest Qin family is an exemplary model for everyone to strive for."
You all present here, whoever you are, had a higher status than the Qin family before the trial. But now, most of you have to look up to the Qin family and envy them. Why is that? Still those four words: One day's dao.
The Grandmaster in the purple robe finished speaking and swept his gaze around the room, saying: "You may be smiling on the surface, but perhaps some of you think that the Qin family is just lucky. I'm telling you, the content of this martial arts trial may have a bit of luck involved in the small details, but overall, luck will not determine the final result. Not to mention being hundreds of times better than other martial artists!"
"Among you, if anyone feels dissatisfied, just ask, have any of the martial children from your families who participated in the trial ever reached the sixth stage of True Martial Realm?"
Shinmu-kyo Sixth Rank?
How is this possible?
Most of them are web-graduated from Wutong Academy, even if they have practiced for one or two years, it is already exaggerated to reach the second or third stage of Zhenwu Realm. Six stages, I'm afraid that even those royal family children would need to spend several years cultivating? It's impossible for a Wutong web graduate to enter the sixth stage of Zhenwu Realm directly!
"According to my intelligence, none of the martial arts children who participated in the trial can match Qin Wushuang's strength. Note that I said 'match'!"
Close?
Could it be that the strength of this Qin family is not limited to the True Martial Realm's sixth stage?
No wonder, Zhenwu Sacred Place attaches great importance to it.
Ximen Yu, who understood the inside story, couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart. Six segments? The Great Honored One's words were too likely to cause misunderstandings.
He was a famous and powerful master, with a true martial realm of nine segments, yet he couldn't get any advantage from Qin's hands. Such strength, how could it be just six segments?
The Grandmaster in the purple robe smiled faintly: "All I can say is that Qin Wushuang's strength is something that none of the other martial children participating in the trial can catch up to, even if they were to ride on horseback. Does such a talented martial child deserve to have a royal identity?"
As soon as this was said, all the guests were silent. Everyone knew that the great one was creating momentum for the royal family Qin and supporting them.
The Crown Prince He Yunxiang smiled and nodded: "Great respect, this statement, the main hall can testify. The strength of Wu Shuang Hou is indeed astonishing."
The purple-robed elder obviously didn't expect the crown prince to stand up and agree, nodding towards the crown prince: "Now that the crown prince has spoken, everyone should have a clearer understanding! I've been going on and on about this for so long, just wanting to express one thing. The Qin family of Donglin being promoted to royal status is a result recognized by both the imperial court and the True Martial Sacred Land. The position of royalty cannot be questioned or shaken. If anyone has any doubts about this royal status, they can go to Wu Saint Mountain and directly find Lord Wu Saint to argue!"
The other three great masters all nodded in agreement. Qin Wushuang smiled calmly, without saying a word. With the four great masters speaking up, this situation didn't require him to worry about anything anymore.
Even if someone had doubts about this royal identity, I'm afraid that after the strong statement of the four great masters, those doubts should have been dispelled!
"Qin Wusuo, won't you say a few words?" The purple-robed grandmaster was obviously intentionally bringing Qin Wusuo out and shifting the topic to him.
Qin Wushuang smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Everyone, my Qin family has come from a humble background and has experienced many setbacks. Every step forward, someone thinks it's just luck. My principle has always been only one, whether it's a mule or a horse, take it out for a walk. The Baiyue Kingdom is a country that relies on military power, what can be said with the most persuasive force is reality. Family ranking, once every twenty years, if anyone doubts my royal family Qin, I welcome you to challenge us in twenty years. Still the same sentence: speak with strength!"
The purple-robed grandmaster nodded in appreciation, Qin Wushuang's words were neither high-profile nor low-key, but gave enough momentum. If you don't accept it, you can come and challenge me.
This is the most primitive and direct principle of the martial arts world!
"I, the Qin family, am now the sole ruler. From this day forward, within my divinely appointed kingdom, all subjects, regardless of nobility or age, shall be protected by my royal house, the Qin clan. Any external force that kills people and sets fires will be put to death without pardon; any external force that pillages and plunders will be put to death without pardon..."
Qin Wushuang's tone was stern and powerful, with each word ringing out clearly. As he spoke, his gaze swept steadily across the room, lingering for a moment on Akagi Ou before moving away.
Akamatsu Ou's heart was just coldly laughing, secretly thinking: "Let you be arrogant for today, wait for a while, and there will be good times for you!"
Da Xu Heng looked at Qin Wu Xiang's every move, full of overbearing aura, and a hint of the majesty of a king. In his heart, he couldn't help but secretly smile wryly.
He had to admit that in Qin's judgment, as the head of the family, he had made an almost fatal mistake.
Luckily, I was firm and stubborn...
Seeing Da Xi Ying and Qin Xiu's intimate interaction, Da Xi Heng, a true martial realm 7th stage strongman and the master of a noble family, felt as sweet as if he had drunk honey.
The royal family! From now on, the backing of the Daqishan family will be the royal family! The rise of the Daqishan family is worth looking forward to!
Wang: There's still the fifth watch in ten minutes!
