Nine Princes Struggle for the Throne: The Mad Prince

Chapter 443 Phoenix Clan: The Five-Colored Phoenix Emperor (Speculation)

Phoenix clan.

"News has come from below: the Qin Dynasty has just completed its ascension and become the Great Qin Dynasty. At the same time, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth has once again bestowed merit upon it."

"Just now, our spies in the Immortal Martial Domain also sent word that the eight Martial Clans have also received the Great Dao Merit."

"What are your thoughts on this matter, everyone?"

The alluring woman at the head of the group looked at the crowd and asked them a question.

This woman is the current acting patriarch of the Phoenix Clan, a powerful expert at the late stage of the Demon Emperor realm. Her true form is a five-colored divine phoenix, a high-ranking bloodline within the Phoenix Clan, and her strength is only slightly weaker than Feng Wutong's.

He is a capable assistant to Feng Wutong and is respectfully known as the Five-Colored Phoenix Emperor.

Don't let her charming appearance fool you; she can be incredibly ruthless when she gets going. She's a real tough one.

After Feng Wutong went to marry into the family, she was temporarily appointed as the clan leader.

"Acting clan leader, we should consult the clan leader about this matter! She is currently in the Great Qin Dynasty and certainly knows more about it than what is being circulated outside."

"Let's see if we can also get some Great Dao Merit. If we can get some Great Dao Merit, our Phoenix Clan's current predicament might be resolved."

An old man spoke up.

This person is the Great Elder of the Phoenix Clan, and also a powerful expert in the late stage of the Demon Emperor realm.

However, he rarely travels outside nowadays and is in seclusion most of the year, hoping to break through to the peak of the Demon Emperor realm.

He wouldn't have emerged from seclusion if Heaven and Earth hadn't bestowed upon him great merit once again.

His words also served as a reminder to everyone present.

Isn't their clan leader in the Qin Dynasty? He must know more than they do.

Instead of speculating here, they should just ask the clan chief.

"You wait here, I will go and contact the clan leader."

After a moment of silence, the Five-Colored Phoenix Emperor made a decision.

She was actually hesitant about whether to contact the clan leader, as she had learned a lot about the secrets of the Great Qin Dynasty from him.

He knows more than others.

She also knew that the clan leader in the Qin Dynasty did not have an easy life as others thought.

Therefore, she also had some awe towards the Qin Dynasty.

However, the situation is becoming increasingly serious, and if they don't understand the situation clearly, they won't be able to make the most advantageous arrangements later.

That's when I decided to contact the clan chief and see what his plans were.

After she finished speaking, she disappeared from her seat and arrived at the Phoenix Clan's communication hall the next moment.

She dismissed everyone else before activating the formation and contacting Feng Wutong.

A few hours later.

Feng Wutong's image then appeared in the communication array.

"Wu Cai, what's the matter that you're in such a hurry to contact me?"

Feng Wutong's voice came out.

When she received the message from the Five-Colored Phoenix Emperor, she was busy absorbing the merits of the Great Dao. She had just completely absorbed the merits of the Great Dao she had obtained into her body and had not yet had time to refine them before contacting the Five-Colored Phoenix Emperor.

"Clan leader, not long ago, the heavens and earth once again bestowed great merits. News came from below that it was obtained when the Qin Dynasty was promoted to the Great Qin Dynasty. The entire upper domain is now shocked by this. Moreover, the eight clans of the martial lineage also obtained great merits this time."

"......"

"The clan wants to know if there is a way for my Phoenix Clan to also have the opportunity to obtain the Great Dao Merit."

The Five-Colored Phoenix Emperor briefly explained the current situation in the Upper Domain to Feng Wutong, and finally also expressed the clan's thoughts.

They do indeed need the merits and virtues of the Great Dao to help them stabilize their current situation.

"Yes, it is indeed the Great Dao Merit brought about by the dynasty's advancement. I also received a portion, but only I can use this Great Dao Merit. As for why I was able to obtain Great Dao Merit, and how Great Dao Merit is distributed, I don't know for the time being. I need some time to investigate this matter."

After listening, Feng Wutong said in a deep voice.

After all, this was her first time obtaining the Great Dao Merit.

She didn't know how the merits of the Great Dao were distributed.

She also needs time to investigate this matter.

Actually, she was quite envious when she heard that the eight clans of the Martial Vein had also received the Great Dao Merit.

However, she dared not ask Qin Wu, and could only try to find out how to allocate the Great Dao Merit, which could only be done slowly.

"Clan leader, do you think it's because of the relationship between the eight martial lineage clans and the Qin Dynasty that they are now almost sparing no effort to help the Great Qin Dynasty, even integrating all the martial lineage forces in the Middle Domain into the Great Qin Dynasty, making significant contributions to the development of the Great Qin Dynasty, and being recognized by Heaven and Earth, thus being allocated the Great Dao Merit?"

The Five-Colored Phoenix Emperor voiced his guess.

During the waiting period, she kept sorting out the relationship between the eight martial lineages and the Great Qin Dynasty in her mind.

When the Qin Dynasty rose from a secular state to a dynasty of destiny, only the Qin clan obtained the Great Dao merit, but not many.

To this day, the eight clans of the Martial Vein have spared no effort in helping the Great Qin Dynasty, even handing over all their power in the Middle Domain to the Great Qin Dynasty to help it develop.

Furthermore, according to the investigation, the eight clans of the Martial Vein also tried to send down an unknown amount of resources.

Now that the Great Qin Dynasty has successfully advanced, it has once again attracted the descent of Great Dao merits, and the eight clans of the Martial Vein have also received a large amount of Great Dao merits.

This inevitably led her to make such a guess.

What she didn't know was that she had stumbled upon the right answer by sheer chance.

Upon hearing the Five-Colored Phoenix Emperor's guess, Feng Wutong also began to ponder this question.

According to her investigation, at least in the capital city, all officials in the court and concubines in the harem received a share of the Great Dao Merit, with the amount varying according to their rank.

Aside from not knowing how much His Majesty had received, she knew that the Empress had received the most merit, followed by Crown Prince Qin Chen.

Does this mean that as long as one becomes an official of the Qin Dynasty, one can obtain great merit?

Of course, to determine whether this is indeed the case, she needs to send people to investigate in more places.

"This matter is unclear at the moment. If you have any questions, you can contact the Qin clan and see what their next plans are."

"As for your guess, I will investigate immediately. If it is true, then we will have to change our previous strategy. But we'll talk about it after I've investigated."

"That's all for today. I'll begin the investigation immediately."

After Feng Wutong finished speaking, she cut off the communication.

She then arranged for someone to investigate the matter, and she herself seized the time to begin seclusion to refine the fortune she had gained this time.

After she finished refining it, the people she sent out to investigate returned.

Indeed, all the officials of the Great Qin Dynasty received the Great Dao Merit, only the amount varied according to their rank.

Based on these investigations, she also discovered a problem.

The eight clans of the Martial Vein secretly accepted the titles and rewards from the Great Qin Dynasty, and were secretly referred to as the Eight Great Royal Clans.

While the official titles of the eight royal families appear to be those of clan leaders in the middle domain, judging from the current situation, the true titles are likely held by the eight leaders in the upper domain.

The current Eight Princes are only in name; they may just be a facade.
