Da Qin: Conquer all heavens and all realms

Chapter 289 The Emperor of Heaven comes to the banquet, and all treasures are eclipsed

Wanbao Tower, a secret room.

Jas knelt on the ground and repeated Meng Tian's words word for word.

"Summon me to an audience?" Wanbao Daojun sneered, "He's quite arrogant. Brother Heiyu, what do you think?"

The Black Prison Venerable snorted coldly, "Just an ant who doesn't know how to live or die. Brother Daojun, let me go down and slap the general who delivered the message to death. Then crush their camp and see how arrogant they can be."

"Don't be impulsive." Wanbao Daojun waved his hand. "The more they act like this, the more they show they are fearless. I'd like to meet this 'Emperor of Heaven'. Jas, tell him I'm hosting a banquet at the 'Wanbao Heavenly Palace' and invite him to 'come to the feast.'"

"Attending a banquet?" Jas was stunned.

"Yes, it's a 'banquet,' not an 'audience.'" A sharp gleam flashed in Wanbao Daojun's eyes. "I want to see whether his 'laws' are stronger, or the 'rules' of my Wanbao Tower are stronger. Let him bring his core personnel. I want to see with my own eyes how many brains these kids from the 'tower' have."

"Yes, I understand." Jas accepted the order and retreated respectfully.

Wanbao Daojun turned to Heiyu Zun and said, "Brother Heiyu, you secretly arrange to set up the 'Great Array of Stars in the Heavens' around the 'Wanbao Heavenly Palace'. I want him to know that no matter how great his abilities are, he can't make any waves on the territory of my Wanbao Tower."

"Don't worry, I will make that place their burial place." The Black Prison Master smiled grimly, and his figure merged into the void again.

……

Ying Zheng sat in the main seat, with Li Si standing beside him.

Meng Tian came to report and reported Wanbao Daojun's reply word for word.

"Attend the banquet?" Li Si's eyes flashed with thought. "Your Majesty, Wanbao Daojun's move is called an invitation, but it's actually a show of force. He's trying to show us that we're on his territory and abide by his 'rules'."

"I know." Ying Zheng's tone was flat, as if he was discussing a trivial matter. "He thought that by staging the Hongmen Feast and laying out a dragnet, he could make me surrender?"

He stood up, hands behind his back, his eyes revealing endless dominance and confidence. "He's wrong. The reason my laws are enforced isn't because my fleet is so powerful, but because I represent order, civilization, and the path that unites all people. His so-called 'rules' are nothing more than the barbaric law of the jungle based on strength."

"The law of the jungle will eventually be replaced by civilized order. This is the trend of the times, and it is also my mission."

Li Si bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise. I believe that we should bring a group of elite soldiers with us to this banquet to prepare for any unexpected events."

"No need." Ying Zheng waved his hand. "I'm going to a banquet, not to a war. Bringing more people with me is just a show of bravery. I want him to see where my confidence comes from."

He paused and ordered Meng Tian: "Pass on my order and prepare to attend the banquet. I will only bring Li Si with me."

"What?!" Meng Tian was horrified. "Your Majesty, absolutely not! Wanbao Tower is a dangerous place, and you only brought Mr. Li Si with you. What if..."

"That's fine." Ying Zheng interrupted him, his tone unquestionable. "If I don't even have this much courage, how can I rule the world? Communicate your order."

"...Yes!" Meng Tian had no choice but to obey. His admiration for His Majesty rose to a whole new level. This was no longer just about bravery, but a composure and confidence that was almost godlike.

……

Wanbao Palace, located in the core area of ​​Wanbao Star, is a huge palace suspended in the air.

It is built with billions of rare treasures. During the day, the precious light reaches the sky, and at night, the stars shine. It is the most sacred and inviolable place in the Wanbao Star Domain.

At this moment, the Heavenly Palace was already packed with distinguished guests. Wanbao Daojun had sent out invitations to all the prominent forces in the Wanbao Star Region to attend the "ceremony."

Among them, there are many representatives of Class B civilization, and even a few secluded old monsters with strength close to Class A.

The purpose of their coming was nothing more than to see what the "Great Qin Emperor" who dared to run wild in the Wanbao Star Region looked like, and how Wanbao Tower would deal with these ignorant "newcomers".

Inside the banquet hall, people were drinking and chatting happily, but the air was filled with a tense feeling as if a storm was about to come.

"Brother Daojun, why hasn't the 'Emperor of Heaven' arrived yet? Could he be too scared to come?" said a clan leader of a Class B civilization in a sarcastic tone.

"Haha, I guess he knows he's in the wrong and is thinking about how to kneel down and beg for mercy." Another person echoed.

Wanbao Daojun sat at the head of the table, a smile on his face, though it didn't reach his eyes. He was secretly speculating, "Will Ying Zheng come? If he doesn't, it means he's conceding defeat, and this matter will be over. No matter how powerful the Great Qin fleet is, it won't dare stay in the Wanbao Star Region for long. If he dares to come... that would be interesting."

At this moment, a long announcement came from outside the hall.

"The Great Qin Emperor, here—"

The entire noisy banquet hall suddenly fell silent.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the palace entrance.

I saw a figure walking in slowly, accompanied by Li Si.

The visitor was not wearing a dragon robe or a crown, but a simple black casual suit without any patterns on it, but with a majesty as solemn as a mountain.

He had a handsome face and deep eyes, as if containing the mysteries of the entire starry sky. He walked slowly, but every step he took weighed on everyone's heart, causing the previously cheerful and cheerful B-level clan leaders to feel an inexplicable pressure and involuntarily shut their mouths.

Ying Zheng walked to the center of the banquet hall amid countless gazes, some scrutinizing, some contemptuous, and some curious.

He didn't look at anyone else, his gaze fell directly on Wanbao Daojun who was sitting in the main seat.

"You, are the owner of Wanbao Tower?" His voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard throughout the entire hall, with an unquestionable tone of inquiry.

The smile on Wanbao Daojun's face finally disappeared.

This kid can't even be polite and just asks questions like this?

He took a deep breath, suppressed his unhappiness, and said with a forced smile: "I am Wanbao Daojun. Your Majesty the Emperor of Heaven, you are a guest from afar. Please take a seat."

He pointed to his left, a seat just behind the main seat.

However, Ying Zheng didn't even look at that seat. Instead, he walked straight to the first guest seat opposite the main seat and sat down without hesitation.

This seat was reserved for the most distinguished guests, but usually, guests would humbly give way. Ying Zheng's move was tantamount to a direct declaration: "I am your equal."
