758 Human Race’s Regional Treasure, Sun of Dawn! (3)

The Seventh Prince remained silent and nodded after a while.

“Three days from now, there will be a grand ceremony where I will announce the position of the county governor. After that, Fenghai County will be your personal property, and you can handle it as you wish.”

“As for the Human Emperor Mirror Cloud’s relic you desire, the conditions for its acquisition have been included in the terms of the Holy Wave Race’s return to the human race. The reasons for this arrangement are also well-founded.”

“So even if my father becomes aware of it, he will ultimately prioritize the bigger picture and agree to it. Thus, he will open the ancestral land and retrieve the relic. Only he can do this; no one else can.”

“However, I’m very curious. It’s just a bowl, yet you planned so meticulously…”

The Seventh Prince looked at the Deputy Governor.

The Deputy Governor smiled and spoke softly.

“I can tell you, but I also have a curiosity. What if the people of Fenghai, including their fortunes, were all devoured by my lord after I have given them to him? What would you do?”

“From a personal standpoint, that’s your private possession and not my concern. From the standpoint of the race, I’ll come to suppress you,” the Seventh Prince calmly said.

The Deputy Governor laughed and turned to walk away.

“You haven’t answered my question.” The Seventh Prince was expressionless.

The Deputy Governor uttered a single sentence without turning back, and continued to walk away.

“If I said that it was a bowl made from my lord’s skull, would you believe it?”

The Seventh Prince’s eyes instantly gleamed.

He knew that the imperial palace in the Grand Imperial Capital Region was rebuilt by the Human Emperor Mirror Cloud and held many ancient mysteries. It had a history that could be traced back to the time of the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether.

During his lifetime, the Human Emperor Mirror Cloud had many beloved possessions, but the only item he took with him to the grave was a bowl.

That bone bowl was buried beside him in a coffin of the same size. The entire tomb had a layout that looked like two emperors were buried side by side.

As for what bone this bowl was made of and who it belonged to, no one knew and there were no records at all.

The truth had completely been erased in the pa.s.sage of time. There were only guesses left. Many people said that it was the skull of the Purple Green Kingdom’s crown prince, the close friend of the Human Emperor Mirror Cloud.

The Seventh Prince didn’t ask further.

The Deputy Governor continued to walk away, gradually disappearing from sight.

While the Seventh Prince was gazing at the other party’s departing figure, wisps of aura appeared around him and transformed into black-robed men.

They were similar to the ones who appeared beside Zhang Siyun.

The leader bowed to the Seventh Prince and spoke in a cold and sharp voice.

“Your Highness, as long as you give the order, we can make sure he dies here. We have long investigated his background. It’s an organization called Illuminate. As for his ident.i.ty…”

The Seventh Prince shook his head.

“What you found out is what he wants you to know.”

“Everything will be done according to the agreement I made with him.”

“Also, have you found any trace of twelfth brother?”

The Seventh Prince rubbed his forehead and slowly spoke.

“Your Highness, we’ve already investigated the whole county but we still haven’t found any traces of the twelfth highness. Although there were clues guiding us to Fenghai County before, we have found no leads here.”

The black-robed man lowered his head.

The Seventh Prince showed a pensive expression, shook his head after a moment, and then turned around to leave.

Soon, the news about the upcoming ceremony spread far and wide with the return of the Seventh Prince. It reached all corners of the land, and every race and every faction of the human race became aware of the event.

This was because this was a coronation ceremony.

The new county governor would be personally crowned by the Seventh Prince during this ceremony.

From now on, this county governor would become a supreme existence in Fenghai County. His every word and action would have the power to determine the lives and deaths of countless individuals. The three palaces, all cultivators, and every Sword Holder would also be under his command.

Within the thirteen provinces of Fenghai County, any sect or power would be annihilated by a single decree from the county governor.

Moreover, the county governor would be blessed with the fortune of the county, breaking through the limitations of his cultivation and reaching a relative peak state.

This peak was the peak of the county.

While possessing such power and authority, it also came with the responsibility of protecting the human race and safeguarding Fenghai County.

Though the official announcement of the new county governor had not been made, almost everyone in Fenghai County could easily speculate on the likely candidate.

This was because… in the entire Fenghai County, after experiencing so many unforeseen events, the only qualified person left was the Deputy Governor!

The Deputy Governor had the great merit of developing plain pills, earning the admiration of the people. During the war, he worked diligently to protect the rear lines, and after the arrival of the Seventh Prince, he made numerous efforts to benefit Fenghai County.

These achievements were left in the eyes and hearts of the world and were deeply admired.

If the Sword Holding Palace’s Palace Master was still alive, he would naturally be the first choice. Even the other two Palace Masters had the qualifications. However, now, only the Deputy Governor was left.

Not only was he the backbone of everyone, but he also became the representative of the old faction of Fenghai County.

Hence, in the eyes of everyone, it was only right for him to accept the t.i.tle of County Governor.

Xu Qing also got this information. He continued to drink, flask after flask.

“There are still nine days left for a month to be over. In nine days, I’ll be able to return to the Seven Blood Eyes.”

“I will need to go visit Fairy Zi Xuan… and Ling’er. Before I leave, I have to go and see if she has woken up.”

“Also, I don’t know what Master refined, but it must be a great treasure.”

Xu Qing mumbled.

“Eldest Senior Brother still has many great things to do in the future. I wonder what the next one will be. I have to cultivate well and work hard to improve myself. Since we’ve said that we’ll be traveling together in this life, I can’t fall too far behind.”
