C347 Force to Turn the Tide
Yuan Hong and the other experts that were guarding in front of Xu Haotian muttered to themselves, their faces were solemn. However, even though there were two of them, the experts weren't worried at all.
This was because they had Lu Bu, a late Heavenly Immortal cultivator, to watch over them. All those below the Heavenly Immortal Stage were ants. These words were not just for show. Lu Bu's terror was something they all witnessed.
"Who are you?"
Xu Haotian asked in a deep voice.
"We are the envoys of the Southern region. We have come here today to read out the imperial edict."
Among the two people in the sky, one of them spoke up expressionlessly.
The Holy Court of the Southern Domain? Sacred Emperor?
The moment he finished speaking, the entire capital sucked in a breath of cold air. Xu Haotian revealed an expression of disbelief.
He had long since known that the Four Great Regions all had the presence of the Holy Court. Below the Holy Court was the dynasty, and below the dynasty was the dynasty. And the Holy See is the pyramid of a region. It was a symbol of supreme power.
"As the highest ruler of the Southern Domain, a power at the top of the pyramid, why would they come to a small kingdom like him to read out the imperial edict?" Could it be that the Sacred Emperor has set his sights on me? "
Xu Haotian thought to himself.
Just when everyone turned pale with fright, there was a person who had a strange smile on his face as he looked at the envoy of the Holy Court in the sky.
He was Situ Shanghong, who was standing in the palace.
At this moment, his eyes were full of schadenfreude. Others didn't know why the envoy had appeared, but he did.
"Hehe, let's see how a little kid like you can resolve this. This is a sure-kill situation."
Seeing that Xu Haotian was still in shock and had not woken up yet, the two of them showed a look of contempt.
"Xu Haotian, why aren't you kneeling down to receive the decree!"
"* *, today is a joyous day of hard work. Could it be that you're here to suppress this emperor?"
Of course, Xu Haotian didn't know that all kingdoms that were part of the third power had to unconditionally obey the highest symbol of power. No matter the circumstances, they had to pay their respects.
Swish, swish!
Feeling everyone's gaze on him, Xu Haotian frowned. Kneel, even if the powerful image that he had created with great difficulty didn't break, it would still cause the people to be disappointed. Even though he was facing the envoy of the Holy See.
The commoners didn't care if it was difficult or not. Their thoughts were simple: the hero in their hearts should be invincible and wouldn't bow down to any power.
However, if he didn't kneel now, it was clear that he didn't put the Holy Court in his eyes. Perhaps, what awaited him would be endless pursuit, and his body would be covered with wounds. It also brought suffering to the common people. This time, he had a dilemma.
Xu Haotian was extremely depressed in his heart.
"You two, today is my emperor's inauguration ceremony. If you have anything you want to say, can you say it now? As for the rules of kowtowing and receiving the edict, that's fine."
Just as Xu Haotian was in a dilemma, Lu Bu, who had already returned to his side, suddenly spoke without any anger.
As soon as his voice fell, the two special envoys subconsciously looked at Lu Bu, their dark black eyes suddenly narrowing. From what they could sense, Lu Bu was like a giant prehistoric beast, exuding a monstrous killing intent that caused their backs to turn cold, their hair to stand on end, and their breathing to become hurried.
"Are you Lu Bu Lu and Lu Fengxian?"
A special envoy of the Holy Empire slowly loosened his tightly clenched fists and asked with a frown.
Recently, Lu Bu's notoriety as evil had spread far and wide. Besides Xu Haotian, he was one of the most famous figures in the entire Southern Domain. Even the distant Holy See was widely known.
Lu Bu didn't say anything. He only coldly looked at the two of them, causing sweat to appear on their foreheads.1
"In that case, let me, the envoy, read out the imperial edict."
