Chapter 417 The Two Elders of the Wind and Cloud

There were more things to consider before the coronation ceremony of the Ancestral Phoenix Empire than Lin Zhao had imagined.

The Ancestral Phoenix Plane has dozens of times more subcontinents than the Heavenly Phoenix Plane. The top powers of these planes have all sent disciples to participate in this imperial election, which means they will also send people to participate in the enthronement ceremony.

The coronation ceremony kept Lin Zhao busy from beginning to end. Of course, Lin Zhao would decline the trivial matters as much as possible, but there were things that could not be avoided, such as meetings with various forces and communication with the upper realms, where Lin Zhao's personal presence was required.

After completing all the necessary procedures and concluding the coronation ceremony, Lin Zhao calculated the time and realized it was time to return to the Heavenly Phoenix Continent.

Knowing Lin Zhao's plan, Chi Yuan nodded in agreement: "It is indeed time for His Majesty's family to be incorporated into the Ancestral Phoenix Plane as the royal family of the Ancestral Phoenix Empire."

Lin Zhao was still stunned when she heard this. Although the Chi family royal family moved out of the imperial palace as quickly as possible after the previous Ancestral Phoenix Emperor passed on the throne, Lin Zhao had lived here for half a month and no one fully realized that the Chi family was now just a newly appointed member of the Chi King's Mansion, not the original royal family.

However, upon closer examination, it is indeed the safest option for the Lin family to move to the Ancestral Phoenix Plane. Not to mention that the Ancestral Phoenix Plane is a super plane that can rival the Ancestral Dragon Plane, if they move to the Ancestral Phoenix Plane and become the Ancestral Phoenix Royal Family, even if the Ancestral Dragon Plane had three thousand times the courage, it would not dare to attack the Lin family.

In addition, she will inevitably clash with the evil thoughts of another world in the future, and if the family can receive better protection in this process, then of course they will be given better benefits.

"I will return and discuss this with the family elders," Lin Zhao quickly decided.

Chi Yuan nodded: "There's not much left here. There are just some lists of power shifts that need Your Majesty's personal review and approval. Would Your Majesty like to take a look?"

Lin Zhao said, "Let's leave the others aside for now. The Bright Hall should temporarily retreat to the level of the Transcendent Forces, and its offerings should be reduced to the level of the Transcendent Forces."

Chi Yuan nodded. The Bright Hall had targeted Lin Zhao many times when he was still vying for the throne, so it was not unreasonable for them to issue such a decree. Moreover, it was not an immediate defeat, but rather a demotion to a transcendent force, which was still within the Bright Hall's tolerance.

Lin Zhao continued, "Furthermore, if other forces in the Ancestral Phoenix Plane target the Hall of Light, the imperial experts need not pay attention. The governance of other forces will continue to follow the rules I previously established, gradually weakening the domineering behavior of the disciples of these transcendent forces and creating a situation where they check and balance each other."

Chi Yuan frowned: "This point might shake the interests of the top leaders of several major powers, so it might not be easy to implement."

"Then let's take it slow," Lin Zhao said. "I don't want to see a second incident like the human-snake incident in Yehuang City."

There was a beast who had been causing trouble in the capital for so many years, and just because he came from Lingtian Pavilion, he was able to commit so many misdeeds in Yehuang City.

The disciple of a powerful force wielded too much authority, causing karmic entanglements to arise throughout an entire plane, revealing the abnormality of the situation.

Chi Yuan looked distressed.

Lin Zhao knew that his actions involved the interests of established powerful families like Chi Yuan to some extent, and said, "It's just a matter of mutual restraint. I understand the principle of respecting the strong in the cultivation world, but respecting the strong shouldn't create karmic obstacles."

These words revealed the deep-seated worries in Chi Yuan's heart, and he sighed, "I was being too swayed by appearances. I will carry out His Majesty's decree slowly with my men. As for the other forces, that's one thing, but the major powers like the Di Yin Sect..."

Although they may not care about these benefits, these giant forces are used to enjoying the power to act arrogantly. If Lin Zhao wants to take them back all at once, do you think they will be happy?

Lin Zhao interlaced his fingers and said with a smile, "Didn't they also not support me in the Imperial Election? Apart from the Holy Phoenix Palace and Lingtian Pavilion, I haven't yet indicated how I will act against Diyin Sect and Hehuan Palace, have I?"

The previous Ancestral Phoenix Emperor did not manage these forces, but that doesn't mean she can't.

Unless these behemoth-level forces are willing to risk rebellion and hostility from all other forces in the entire plane, they wouldn't dare openly defy the decrees of the Ancestral Phoenix Emperor. For Lin Zhao, who now commands a powerful army of Ancestral Phoenix Empire warriors, some things are already quite manageable as long as there's no open resistance.

Moreover, since Lin Zhao ascended the throne, most of the power in Lingtian Pavilion has fallen into the hands of its young master, Yang Jingjing.

Yang Jingjing was the first person to propose such a reform. The people of the Holy Phoenix Palace rarely appeared outside of Holy Phoenix Mountain and did not care about such power, so they naturally did not oppose this reform.

The powerful figures worshipped by the Ancestral Phoenix Empire, the powerful figures of the Lingtian Pavilion, and the Holy Phoenix Palace that is subtly on Lin Zhao's side are enough for Lin Zhao to reshape the power structure of the Central Continent and even the Ancestral Phoenix Plane.

Upon hearing this, Chi Yuan nodded: "Your subject understands."

If the Hehuan Palace of the Diyin Sect is willing to accept the gradual reforms with dignity, then they can maintain their dignity. If they are not willing, Lin Zhao's intention is to help them maintain their dignity.

It was three days later that this matter was finally resolved, along with other issues.

It's time to leave too.

There is one month left until the date she and the Cloud Peak Immortal Venerable set.

Chi Yuan led her to a teleportation array: "This teleportation array can accommodate hundreds of people at a time. Your Majesty is going to the Heavenly Phoenix Continent this time, and the Empire cannot allow you to go alone, so these two..."

Two simply dressed elderly men appeared before Lin Zhao and bowed to him.

"In addition to the secret guards protecting Your Majesty, the two elders Fengyun will also accompany you to the Tianhuang Continent to help you with the relocation of the Lin family."

During the time he spent with Lin Zhao, Chi Yuan roughly figured out that Lin Zhao was not good at handling some trivial matters of power. This did not mean that Lin Zhao was incapable, but it was clear that she was not very good at it.

So Chi Yuan simply found the two elders of Fengyun, who were both strong and capable in this area, to accompany her.

The Ancestral Phoenix Empire has ten powerful figures who are loyal to the Ancestral Phoenix Emperor. Each of them is a master at the late stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm or above. They have always been loyal to the Ancestral Phoenix Emperor. They were loyal to the Blazing Emperor before, and now, with Lin Zhao's ascension to the throne, they are loyal to Lin Zhao.

They are the army that upholds the rules of the Ancestral Phoenix Plane.

These are the reasons why Lin Zhao, the newly enthroned young emperor, had the capital to challenge a powerful force after his ascension to the throne.

The power and resources behind each Ancestral Phoenix Emperor symbolize a super strong person who is no less powerful than any giant-level force, not to mention the tributes her family has received as royalty over the years.

If it weren't for the unexpected events involving Ji Wantang and Lin Zhao, the royal family of the Zuhuang Empire would generally have experienced internal succession.

Lin Zhao thanked the two elders, Fengyun, saying, "I am grateful for your help with this trip to the Heavenly Phoenix Plane."

The two elders, Feng and Yun, quickly replied, "Your Majesty is too kind. This is simply our duty."

Bringing the Lin family to the Ancestral Phoenix Plane is practically equivalent to establishing good relations with the future royal family of the Ancestral Phoenix Empire. It's such a good thing that if they didn't have a good relationship with Chi Yuan, Chi Yuan wouldn't have allowed them to come!
