C457 The King's Banquet Had Begun

In the core area of State of Zhao, King Zhao City, hundreds of god 's favoreds were gathered in the vast area, all for one night's feast, the King's Banquet.

It was rumored that the Sovereign of State of Zhao, King Zhao, would personally attend the feast. He would bestow the top ten god 's favoreds with supreme glory, and even give them a good fortune.

At this moment, outside King Zhao Palace, countless experts and god 's favoreds were gathered. Nine Great Aristocratic Families, King Admiral, and martial arts sects were all waiting quietly. No one was making any noise.

Beside these people stood a majestic and magnificent palace. There was the light of countless seals shining on it, and it gave off a powerful and mysterious aura.

The people of Hongtian Academy and Longevity Temple had arrived outside the palace early in the morning to wait. Many pairs of bone-piercing cold eyes were looking at Han Feng. Han Feng looked over, and it turned out to be the experts of Lyi family.

At this moment, Lyi Min had lost a lot of his arrogance, but his eyes were filled with anger. Behind him stood several Expert of Astral Martial Stages. His eyes were as sharp as swords, as if he wanted to kill Han Feng on the spot.

Han Feng smiled. There were many people who wanted to kill him, but none of them cared about him.

Tian Feng Hou also came. The god 's favored behind him was no longer Guo Ruloong or Guo Zheng, but another person, Ying Tiankuang.

"He came too?" Han Feng was a little surprised. Ying Tiankuang's appearance must have been instructed by the Shadow Moon Palace Master. However, he didn't understand why the Shadow Moon Palace Master wanted to interfere in the King's Banquet.

"Tiankuang, if possible, kill Han Feng." Marquis Tian Feng said to Ying Tiankuang in a low voice.

However, Ying Tiankuang just looked at Marquis Tian Feng indifferently, "I don't accept orders from others when I do things."

Marquis Tian Feng's heart sank. A chill flashed across his heart, but he didn't say anything. Ying Tiankuang needed to use his identity to enter the King's Banquet, but he also needed Ying Tiankuang to support the situation. If no one from the Marquis Tianfeng's Mansion joined the King's Banquet, it would undoubtedly make Marquis Tian Feng a laughing stock.

The god 's favored figures from the Falling Pavilion and Nine Saints Sword Sect also arrived. They followed behind Marquis Tian Feng with complicated expressions on their faces.

They were almost sworn enemies with the Hongtian Academy, but after arriving in the Royal City... They were unknown, but many of the god 's favoreds in the Hongtian Academy and the Longevity Temple were extremely famous. Han Feng had even killed the direct descendants of the aristocratic families. He was extremely arrogant, but no one could touch him.

The current Han Feng seemed to be on a completely different level from them.

They were somewhat regretful. Was it wrong to go against the Hongtian Academy in the past?

Of course, Han Feng wouldn't think so much about it. If he met Han Feng in the King's Banquet, he could only kill him with a single sword strike to avenge the annihilation of the Battle Platform that day.

"It really is this guy. I didn't expect to see him in just a few months. He has grown to this stage. " The experts of Ling family arrived. The leader was a woman. She was elegant and beautiful. Standing there was a beautiful scene.

When the woman saw Han Feng, her eyes froze for a moment. Then, she revealed a calm smile, as if she had just witnessed the beauty of Han Feng's eyes.

Almost all the major powers had arrived in this region. Their expressions were flickering with arrogance and confidence, and their fighting intent was surging.

"The palace hasn't been opened yet?" Someone whispered. According to the usual rules, the King's Banquet would be held in the evening. Now that it was almost dawn, these people from the god 's favored should be allowed to enter the palace.

As expected, the main doors of the palace slowly opened. One figure after another stepped out. The person in the lead was wearing a purple-golden robe. He was dressed in a luxurious purple robe, and his entire body was filled with a terrifying sealing aura. There was also starry spiritual energy lingering around him.

"Greetings, Eldest Prince." The people of Nine Great Aristocratic Families were the first to react. They bowed to the young man in the robe.

The rest of them bowed as well, "Greetings, Eldest Prince."

"Is this Eldest Prince, Zhao Tianji?" Han Feng's eyes sparkled. It was said that King Zhao's sons were all extremely talented. Every year in the King's Banquet, they performed very well. This year's fourth prince, Zhao Tianming, was the same. He was the leader of the Eight Young Masters, and his combat strength was terrifying.

This Zhao Tianji was even regarded as the next successor of King Zhao by the outside world. It was said that he was chosen by a powerful sect outside the State of Zhao. He was carefully nurtured and taught a powerful cultivation technique, causing him to be the strongest amongst his peers.

Han Feng could roughly guess that Zhao Tianji had been chosen by the Divine Seal Palace, and had been given a powerful Martial Technique. The disciples of the Divine Seal Palace were the sovereigns of the State of Zhao. It was no different from holding the power of the State of Zhao firmly in their hands.

The sect was above the empire, but at the same time, it also needed the support of the empire. Only then could the sect have a steady stream of fresh blood.

Zhao Tianji's eyes swept across the crowd with a smile. Finally, he turned to the experts of the Nine Great Aristocratic Families and said, "Please send my regards to the patriarchs of the Nine Great Aristocratic Families."

"Thank you for your concern, Eldest Prince." The people of Nine Great Aristocratic Families bowed and expressed their gratitude.

"It's getting late. I would like to invite all the people from the god 's favored to enter the palace. Wear your tokens properly." Eldest Prince said. The palace gates were fully opened, but everyone looked over. The scene in the palace was ethereal, as if it was unfathomable.

"This time, I will definitely enter the top three in the King's Banquet!" A hearty laugh was heard, and the first to step into the palace was the top god 's favored of the Qi family, Qi Yao.

"I will definitely be in the top ten!" A god 's favored figure clenched his fist and stepped out. He passed through the palace gates and entered the illusory land.

Numerous figures slowly walked out. They carried the will to win as they crossed the palace gates. After many years of bitter training, both of their hands had been dyed with blood. Wasn't it precisely for this day that they had entered the palace, stepped on the god 's favored, and verified their own martial arts?

"Go, Ming Dian. This is your stage." A middle-aged man from the Ming family spoke to Ming Dian. Ming Dian nodded slightly. In the next second, his figure flickered and he walked into the palace.

Situ Zhe also entered the palace. His body was shining with illusory light. If anyone looked at him, they would fall into the illusion and be unable to extricate themselves.

"I hope you can walk out of here alive." Lyi Min walked past Han Feng and said in a cold voice. Then, he walked into the palace with the god 's favored from the other major powers.

"Let's go as well." Han Feng said to the people around him. In a moment, the people from Hongtian Academy and Longevity Temple stepped out and entered the palace like the wind.

"I hope they can really reach that step." Loong Yi looked at the young men who had just left and felt a little nervous. Besides fighting for the top spot in the King's Banquet, there was also a crisis of life and death. If one was not careful, one would die in the test.

After all the god 's favored had entered the palace, Zhao Tianji cupped his fists at the Expert of Astral Martial Stage of the various major powers. After that, he entered the palace and the door slowly closed. Only after the top ten seats had been decided would the door be opened once again.

"Is there a formation here?" After entering the palace, Han Feng saw nothing but darkness in front of him. He could not see anything clearly in the dark space.

Sun Tianwang and the others were also separated from him.

Beneath Han Feng's feet, he could faintly feel the flow of divine patterns. He stretched out his palm, and a murderous aura rushed forth.

"Kill your way out of here!" An ice-cold voice rang out in the air, causing Han Feng's eyes to freeze. If he wanted to leave this place, he would have to kill his way out, and slaughter his way forward until he created a bloody path.

"We will kill wherever we go. Why don't we just stay where we are and wait for those people who overestimate their abilities to come to our doorstep?" Han Feng smiled faintly and decided to stay where he was.

"There is actually someone hiding here waiting to die?" Not far from Han Feng, a figure appeared. When he saw Han Feng not moving, he couldn't help but reveal a mocking smile.

If one wanted to leave this place, they would need to kill. However, Han Feng was actually hiding in his original spot. Obviously, he was relatively weak. This was a good opportunity for him.

Suddenly, a ray of light appeared in the dark space. It carried the power of killing that could tear everything apart. It streaked across the space and lunged at Han Feng.

Han Feng's lips curled up into a smile. His figure flashed, and he pressed his palm down. True Qi of Taoism bloomed, and condensed into clear Qi, suppressing the stream of light.

"Someone is really courting death by delivering himself to me." Han Feng did not say much. He took a step forward and arrived in front of the man in an instant. The man subconsciously struck out with his palm, but Han Feng's sword was faster than him. The sword Qi pierced through his chest and killed him on the spot.

"I have to change places." Han Feng said in a low voice. There was already a stench of blood here. If someone else came, they would be alerted. He needed to change places.

...

In King Zhao Palace, after Zhao Tianji stepped into the palace, he didn't fall into the formation like Han Feng and the others. Instead, he walked straight to the biggest palace in King Zhao Palace - the King Palace.

"This son greets father, and I hope father can live a long life." Zhao Tianji bowed respectfully toward the throne. The noble middle-aged man on the throne raised his head and said with a smile, "Tian Ji, have they all entered?"

"They have all entered the formation. The examination has officially begun." Zhao Tianji replied.

"Is Mr Envoy still in the Sigil Palace?" King Zhao asked casually.

"They are still in the palace. I think they will only show themselves in the third stage of the test."

"En." King Zhao nodded slightly. Seeing that Zhao Tianji had not left yet, he couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything else?"

"If Ling doesn't participate in the first round of the examination, won't there be any problems?" Zhao Tianji asked.

"With the talent and strength of the Heaven's Mandate, I believe no one will doubt him." King Zhao's eyes sparkled, "If Heaven's Will is allowed to participate in the first round of the examination, wouldn't the examination end too quickly?"

"I understand." Zhao Tianji bowed slightly, "I will take my leave now."1

"Go, take good care of the King's Banquet. You can also assist your younger brother in the future." King Zhao said casually, but he did not notice the coldness in Zhao Tianji's eyes when he turned around.

"Support your younger brother? It's more interesting to have the throne in my hands." Zhao Tianji sneered in his heart and took a step forward.

In the eyes of the world, Zhao Tianji was the most likely person to inherit the throne. Even Zhao Tianji himself thought so. However, ever since Zhao Tianming's talent was revealed, King Zhao seemed to have changed his mind. He wanted to make his fourth son the successor, and even change his name to "Heaven's Will."

The return of the Heaven's Will and the succession of the throne had become an indisputable fact. However, Zhao Tianji refused to accept his fate. How could his own throne be taken away so easily?

In front of the throne, Zhao Tianji would not let this matter rest. This time, the King's Banquet was the best opportunity!
