Hearing those words, Qi Yuan fell silent. Indeed, although the Flame Dynasty was the overlord of the Eastern Wasteland, their position was not stable.
Over the years, the Yan Dynasty's factions had been fighting each other, and Emperor Yan had been busy dealing with internal problems. This had given the other factions an opportunity to develop, and countless small factions had sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain.
Some factions that weren't weak to begin with had taken advantage of this opportunity to nibble away at other factions, forming a scale that even the Yan Dynasty could not underestimate.
As a result, the entire Eastern Wilderness had formed a situation where there were many super factions.
"Then what should we do?
We can't do it now, but when Luo Feng becomes chief pavilion master, the younger generation will slowly fall under their control. Won't we be like frogs being boiled in warm water and eventually be exhausted to death? "
Jiang Taiyuan closed his eyes. "Wait."
Qi Yuan said, "Wait for Emperor Yan to make a mistake?
Emperor Yan has always been cautious, and I'm afraid there won't be such an opportunity. "
Jiang Taiyuan shook his head. He stared at the empty space before him and slowly said, "Do you still remember Yan Yun?"
"Yan Yun?"
Qi Yuan was taken aback. He thought for a long time before returning to his senses. "You're talking about Emperor Yan's son, Yan Yun?"
Jiang Taiyuan nodded.
Qi Yuan frowned slightly and said, "Isn't he dead?"
"He lost to Xiao Xuan in the finals of the last Tianyuan Continent Star Card World Tournament and was killed by the latter. He died in the arena."
Jiang Taiyuan shook his head as a bright light flashed in his eyes. "He didn't die that day. Instead, he was saved by the old Flame Emperor and secretly sent out of the Tianyuan Continent to a super sect on another continent to cultivate."
"It was because of this that he avoided the calamity of Zhuo Ying seeking revenge on old Emperor Yan. If he had been in the imperial city that day, he would have died at Zhuo Ying's hands."
"What?!
Yan Yun didn't die?! "
Qi Yuan's eyes suddenly widened when he heard these words. His face was filled with disbelief. Kang Of Gojoseon was really able to hold back. He had actually hidden such shocking news until now?!
Jiang Taiyuan nodded and looked at the void with a disappointed look. He muttered, "If I'm not wrong, with his talent, he should have broken through to Card Emperor by now, right?"
Qi Yuan nodded. Yan Yun's talent was unparalleled in the heavens. Before the last World Tournament began, he was publicly acknowledged as the world champion without any suspense. However, no one would have thought that Xiao Xuan would appear out of nowhere and crush his fantasy.
Jiang Taiyuan continued, "Zhuo Ying killed the old Emperor Yan. It's impossible for Yan Yun to not avenge his father's death."
"Furthermore, the super sect that Yan Yun is in is likely to be stronger than our Yan Dynasty. With his talent and ability, I think that he will be able to mix like a fish in water in that super sect. He might even be able to hold a high position."
"In other words, when he returns as the king and reigns supreme over the Yan Dynasty, he won't be alone."
Hearing these words, Qi Yuan's eyes instantly became blazing hot. He was so excited that he was overturning rivers and seas. His heart rose and fell like the tide.
This was really great news!!!
He had vaguely heard of the super sects outside of the Tianyuan Continent that sought help from other continents. It was said that there were as many experts as the clouds, and every one of them was a dragon. Even Card Emperor experts were not rare.
If Yan Yun returned in the future, what awaited Emperor Yan might really be a calamity.
Jiang Taiyuan said, "Therefore, there's no need to worry about it. We just need to keep delaying until Yan Yun returns."
Qi Yuan nodded. "What if he doesn't return?
For example, what if he is envied by those super sects because of his outstanding talent, and is assassinated? "
Jiang Taiyuan glared at him and said, "Can't you think on the bright side?"
Qi Yuan smiled bitterly. He was only joking. A Star Card Master with top talent like Yan Yun would definitely be protected in a super sect.
"Then what should we do with Luo Feng next?
He should be participating in the Star Card World Tournament next, right? "
Jiang Taiyuan's expression was somewhat complicated as he watched Luo Feng. He was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke.
"In the future, our matters will have nothing to do with us. There's no need for us to target him. There will naturally be others who will target him.
"After all, the reward for the champion of the Tianyuan World Tournament is the Saint's Heart. The temptation of this reward is too great. The other four super sects will definitely send out the best Kawang of the younger generation to compete for it.
"Moreover, among the top sixteen spots in the World Championship, eight of them will be decided through the competition among the registered Star Card Masters. The other eight spots will be reserved for the five major territories to send their own Star Card Masters."
"As you know, the Tianyuan Continent is divided into the Eastern Barren Territory, Western Regions, Nanjiang, Northern Desert, and Zhongzhou. The spots are allocated according to the strength of each region.
"Northern Desert has three spots, Zhongzhou has two, and Eastern Barren Territory, Western Regions, and Nanjiang are the same. Due to our strength being relatively weaker, we each have one spot.
"If nothing unexpected happens, if Emperor Yan wants Luo Feng to participate in the World Tournament, he will definitely send him to fight for a spot.
"Although not having a spot doesn't mean he won't be able to enter the top sixteen, it's easier said than done to compete with all the Kawang experts in the Tianyuan Continent for the remaining eight spots.
"If Luo Feng wants to enter the top sixteen, he must become the champion of the Eastern Barren Territory.
"It won't be easy for him to become the champion of the Eastern Barren Territory. Other than the Yan Dynasty, the other three forces also have their own top talents. The quality of their younger generation is unprecedented.
"The genius young pavilion master of the Xuanji Pavilion.
"The little witch from the Myriad Demon Valley.
"The mediocre senior brother of the Flowing Cloud Sect.
"In terms of cultivation level, they may not be Luo Feng's match.
"However, they have the advantage of cultivation level. It won't be easy for Luo Feng to win a spot in the top sixteen.
"As far as I know, these three are all three star Kawang."
"Three star Kawang?!"
Hearing this, Qi Yuan cried out involuntarily. Their Great Zhou Sheng was merely a one-star Kawang. In terms of strength, these three families were not even as strong as their Flame Dynasty. Yet, their families had produced such an outstanding generation?
As if knowing what he was thinking, Jiang Taiyuan said, "According to what I know, in terms of talent alone, they are actually not as good as Zhou Sheng and Luo Feng. The reason why their cultivation levels are so high is because they have cultivated for a longer time."
"After all, they are in the same age group as Zhou Sheng."
Qi Yuan nodded. He understood. Although their cultivation level was higher than Zhou Sheng's, it didn't mean that their talent was higher.
After all, Zhou Sheng had been unable to recover from a setback that had delayed his cultivation. If he hadn't given up on himself, he would have been a five or six Star Card King by now.
Seeing that Qi Yuan understood, Jiang Taiyuan continued, "So, we don't need to think or do anything. We just need to wait for Yan Yun to return."
Qi Yuan suddenly frowned. "What if Yan Yun comes back and defeats our Emperor Yan, only to be replaced by another Zhuo Ying? What should we do then?"
Jiang Taiyuan shook his head and said, "Yan Yun has already left the continent. He's experienced and knowledgeable, so his horizons and outlook have definitely improved greatly. With his insight, why would he be restricted to a tiny empire like ours?"
"I'm afraid that even if we beg him to stay, he won't.
"Moreover, even if he wants to be the new ruler of the dynasty, so what?
We'll just let him be!
"With his vision, experience, and talent, if he is willing to stay here and become the ruler of the dynasty, he will bring unprecedented improvement to our dynasty. You and I will both benefit from it. Why not?"
Qi Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard this. It seemed that they hadn't lost yet.
It was just that the next period of time would be very difficult.
However, since Yan Yun was still alive, there was still hope.
Under the protection of the giant wings was a broken dynasty. No matter how tough the giant wings were, they couldn't block the blades within them.
It was now the darkness before dawn.
"I'll let you be proud for a while …" Jiang Taiyuan sneered when he heard the cheers in the arena. He walked out of the arena without a ripple on his face.
Those who achieved great things didn't care about the gains and losses of a city or land.
When Yan Yun's flag swept out, all those who betrayed him must die!
