Ch 178: Joan of Arc, the Gaulish God-King, invites the Great Demonic Lord to Gaul to reminisce!
The gates of the Divine Court, which had just been closed, slowly opened again.
A man in eunuch attire walked in, his expression complex, his teeth chattering.
“That… I don’t know why, Mr. Zhu Biao said he had an urgent matter to report! But immediately afterwards, several ambassadors from the embassy descended inexplicably… One of them even carried the decree of a certain God-King from the West!”
The scene was silent for a moment, and finally, everyone subconsciously looked in Zhu Yuanzhang’s direction.
“…Don’t look at me, Biao’er shouldn’t have anything to do with those foreign devils,” Zhu Yuanzhang said with certainty, although he was a little confused.
After a brief silence, the Dragon Robe Maiden spoke softly, “Then let them in! Zhang Rang.”
Involving the God-Kings of other countries indeed qualifies them to intervene in the Divine Court meeting.
Zhang Rang, the Ten Attendants from the late Han dynasty, immediately breathed a sigh of relief, bowed, and then retreated again. Before long, one golden-haired, blue-eyed being after another walked in.
“The Divine Court Lord of the Central Plains!” The man at the front, wearing golden divine armor, humbly placed his left hand on his chest and knelt on one knee, “I offer you the blessings of my Gaulish Lord, the King of Gods, the second daughter of God, the Christian Saint, Joan of Arc.”
“…You may dispense with the formalities,” the Dragon Robe Maiden frowned slightly, “Just state your purpose!”
“The God-King recently learned of a piece of news, it seems… that one, the Great Demonic Lord, has awakened here in the Central Plains.” The golden-haired man’s voice was extremely humble, “We have even seen the wanted order you issued for that one… The God-King is furious about this! She has an extremely close connection with that one.”
“The God-King hopes to extradite the Great Demonic Lord to Gaul! For this… she is willing to provide you with certain assistance on top of the terms of the Eastern and Western Divine Systems.”
The British envoy’s expression changed drastically, “???”
You’re defecting in front of him? No… Shouldn’t he be the one defecting?! Mmp! But no matter how much he cursed in his heart, no matter how ugly his face became, there was nothing he could do… because he could see that the golden-haired man had obviously made up his mind.
The British envoy took a deep breath and looked at the Dragon Robe Maiden as well, “Great Britain… is also willing to pay some price for the extradition of the Great Demonic Lord…”
The British envoy couldn’t go on, after all, no matter how he thought about it, the price he was willing to pay definitely couldn’t compare to the God-King personally speaking up next door.
Zhu Yuanzhang’s face became gloomy, but there was also confusion in his mind. How could that Saint Joan of Arc… Wait! Could it be… related to the Great Demonic Lord going to the West?
Thoughts raced through Zhu Yuanzhang’s mind, and he felt that he couldn’t quite remember clearly. Although the historical Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely pay close attention to the Great Demonic Lord… what he obtained in the end were only fragments of memory! And many of them were incomplete.
The Dragon Robe Maiden couldn’t hold it in any longer. She was very clear that the wanted order was just to give Chu Mo a cover. But now… how could she have provoked Gaul to personally intercede?
In an instant, she thought of countless things, but her face still didn’t show any emotional fluctuations, “Absolutely not! How could the criminals of the Central Plains be released just because you said so? Where is the law of our Central Plains! This is not something that can be said with a simple concession on the Divine System Treaty.”
“Besides this!” The Dragon Robe Maiden took a deep look at the few people in front of her and said coldly, “The Great Demonic Lord’s awakened nationality is in my Divine Province… Extradition? This is truly the most ridiculous joke!”
“…Although it’s very troublesome, the Great Demonic Lord does indeed have dual citizenship! He is the Emperor Zhiyuan of the late Yuan Dynasty, but at the same time, he is also the founding monarch of the West! It can only be said that it was luck that he was cast into your country, this…” The Gaulish envoy’s expression was ugly, and he still wanted to argue.
However, this only made the Dragon Robe Maiden even more furious. With a wave of her sleeve, the foreign envoys all found themselves outside the Divine Court after a daze. The cold voice of the Divine Court Lord faintly rang in their ears.
“Let Joan of Arc come and talk about this herself! Get out.”
The last two words were like thunder, containing a monstrous aura of ferocity, causing the expressions of the few to change drastically, as if struck by lightning, their legs trembling.
The gates of the Divine Court slammed shut.
Isolating the inside from the outside.
No matter how strong they were, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t possibly hear the internal exchange through this door.
The scene was deathly silent for a long while.
โโโ
Zhang Rang, who had also been kicked out, stared at the group of people in front of him with an icy expression, gnashing his teeth. He had also been kicked out, had he angered that Divine Lord… These damned foreign devils! If he had known, he would have sternly refused before, or forcibly dragged it out for a while longer!
“Ambassador, what should we do next?” One of the people, who also came from Gaul, had a rather ugly expression.
After a brief silence, the Gaulish envoy took a deep breath, “We can only go back first… and then inform the God-King about this matter, and let the God-King make a decision!”
Taking a deep look at the Divine Court, the Gaulish envoy turned around, but he also made up his mind in his heart that it was time to use the power he had lurking here to see if he could find that one’s whereabouts.
For him, it was acceptable to lure him with heavy profits or directly kidnap him back to the West… As long as he concealed it well, or if the other party was willing, even if the Divine Court Lord discovered something was wrong afterwards, it would be impossible for her to turn against Gaul because of this.
โโโ
Inside the Divine Court.
After Zhu Biao finished speaking about what had happened in Jiangning, the expressions of the people at the scene varied.
The Dragon Robe Maiden looked serious on the surface, but her heart was twitching uncontrollably. Why was it Jiangning that had problems again? During this period of time, basically all the major events were on the Jiangning side… Even that group of foreigners was asking for Jiangning… Hmm?
“Apart from this incident, it seems that several incidents are all related to that Chu Mo?” Thoughts raced through the Dragon Robe Maiden’s mind.
She took a deep look at Zhu Yuanzhang, and then said in a calm voice, “Sign up, this matter… will most likely cause a big commotion! Although it is said to be concealed… but in reality…”
The Dragon Robe Maiden paused for a moment, and continued, “Who is willing to go!”
“I,” Song Zhenzong raised his hand immediately.
“Then I’ll go too,” the Third Holy Mother said without any emotional fluctuations, but her eyes were always fixed on Song Zhenzong, making his body stiffen slightly.
“Add me too!” Emperor Gaozong of Tang smiled wryly, “It just so happens that my old man has also been traveling to Jiangning Domain recently, although he hasn’t reached the Domain City, he can contact him and gather there in the Domain City…”
“Li Erfeng is also there? What a coincidence!” Sun Wukong’s eyes lit up.
“Emperor Taizong of Tang… that’s my idol! Don’t forget to mention me to him,” Li Bai’s eyes glowed.
“…Although I’ve experienced it many times, hearing you say that still makes me feel a little complicated!” Du Fu stroked his beard, his expression complex.
“Father,” Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang cautiously. Seeing his old man nod, he breathed a sigh of relief and also said that he wanted to participate.
After quietly waiting for everyone at the scene to finish discussing, the Dragon Robe Maiden brought up the last matter, “Last but not least, the topic we are discussing is…”
“The upcoming Primordial Beast Tide!”
At this moment, the scene was deathly silent. Finally, even the folk experts who had been very calm from beginning to end, and even too lazy to intervene in the exchange, had drastic changes in their expressions at this moment, and the pot completely exploded.
