C489 Back
At the same time, there was a commotion in the crowd as all sorts of important figures arrived in droves. The most prominent one was undoubtedly the Prime Minister, who was above everyone else in the residence, and the emperor who had always kept the king's presence in the capital for all sorts of reasons.
Since ten years ago when Old Master Chen had disappeared from the Great Yan Mountain, the news of him being crushed to death had spread like wildfire.
The Southern Wilderness was an empire that was far away, and it covered a vast area. A mere Nanhang City had six thousand soldiers, so how much power did the Southern Monarch have?
Although the emperor was temporarily unable to find a reason for the release of troops through wine, it was still possible for him to leave Zhennan Wang in the capital and right under his nose.
For the past year, the emperor had been diluting the military power held by Zhennan Wang. Even so, Zhennan Wang held the most military power in the entire kingdom.
Amongst the civil and military powers in the Dasong Kingdom, wasn't the Prime Minister and Zhennan Wang the ones with the greatest authority?
First of all, the two of them did not know that the crowd had made way for them. Even the civil and military officials who had rushed over in advance to show their loyalty to the Emperor gave way.
For a time, the Li family's gate was bustling with noise and excitement.
Seeing that Zhennan Wang and the Prime Minister had arrived without a word, Vice Minister of Rites Chen Congjian raised his eyebrows and suddenly thought of something.
Ever since the Minister of Rites returned from his old age, his position as the President of the Ministry of Rites had been vacant for more than two months. The Emperor had never intended to appoint a Minister of Rites, and Chen Congjian had always been in charge of matters of the Ministry of Rites.
What does it mean to be in charge and to be in charge?
He didn't know if it was because he didn't have any significant political achievements in the past few months, or because the Emperor had forgotten about this matter, but he, the Acting Minister, had never been able to become a real President.
The Minister of Rites was somewhat anxious and happened to stumble across this matter. With a quick thought, he realized that this was a godsend opportunity and coldly shouted as he stepped forward to stand by the side of the Emperor. He then pointed at Chen Yue Xin who was riding on top of the Flaming Tiger and cursed: "Chen Yue Xin! Do you know who you're talking to? The person in front of you is His Majesty! Who gave you the right to sit on top of a demon beast and condescend to speak with His Majesty? Even if your old man Chen Taiji were to come, he'd still have to be respectful towards His Majesty! "
Chen Yue Xin glanced at the Minister of Rites and slowly advanced on her tiger mount.
Chen Congjian's eyes widened as he berated, "Chen Yue Xin, don't tell me you dare hit someone in front of His Majesty today?"
"Beat him up?"
Chen Yue raised her eyebrows slightly and shook her head. Then, she pulled out an ordinary looking saber from her waist. She waved it in her hand and her eyes suddenly focused as she slashed it out.
"Hu!"
In the blink of an eye, a large head flew into the air, splashing blood everywhere!
Everyone present immediately widened their eyes and could not help but hold their breaths.
No one would have thought that Chen Yue Xin did not dare to hit people in front of the emperor, but to kill people in front of the emperor!
Even the emperor had his eyes wide open. He would never have thought that Chen Yue Xin, who he had not seen for more than ten years, would already be so arrogant!
After Chen Yue Xin killed Vice Minister Chen, she did not stop. She rode the tiger and continued onward.
His Majesty had been forced to the side!
Chen Yue's target wasn't His Majesty, but Li Yan, who was behind His Majesty.
Li Yan's pupils constricted as he gritted his teeth and coldly said, "Damn it, Chen Yue Xin, you don't even put the Emperor in your eyes. Your Chen family is waiting to be executed by the entire family!"
Chen Yu Xin lightly said, "I don't know if the entire Chen family will get annihilated or not, but your Li family will be the first to fall into a river of blood."
Li Yan said in a high-pitched voice, "With just you?"
Chen Yue Xin ignored him, riding the tiger and slowly moving forward.
Li Yan's pupils shrank once again. He waved his hand, hoping that the two servants from the Dragon's Saliva would be able to help them.
The two servants, however, just shook their heads.
They were Spirit King cultivators, servants of the Dragon Saliva Sect, but not slaves.
They only promised Long Qinghao that they would act when Li Yan and the Fourth Princess were about to die, but Li Yan wasn't dead yet.
Although Chen Yue Xin dared to kill Vice Minister Chen, how could she dare to kill Li Yan?
Not only was Li Yan protected by two Spirit King cultivators, he was also a relative of the royal family, and was also a close relative of the Dragon Saliva Sect. They knew that Chen Yue Xin would not dare to kill Li Yan.
Since Chen Yue Xin didn't dare to kill Li Yan, then why would they make a move?
The reason why they appeared was to let Chen Yue know that Li Yan had two Spirit Kings with him.
They wouldn't fight over a trivial matter.
Of course, Li Yan understood what the two of them meant. He angrily sighed, but could only scramble into the Li family estate and firmly shut the door.
At this moment, Chen Yu Xin had already ridden the Multi Colored Tiger to the Li Family's gate. A group of black armored soldiers silently followed closely, forcing the Emperor and the three thousand imperial guards to the side.
An indescribable anger had already appeared in the emperor's eyes. He asked the steward beside him in a low voice, "Mister Lan and Old General Chen have not arrived yet?"
The head eunuch was sweating profusely. "Mister Lan and Old General Chen are studying a secret technique together. They've been in seclusion for more than a month already, but with His Majesty's orders, they should be arriving soon."
As soon as the Chief Eunuch finished speaking, two sounds broke through the air, and then two figures appeared in front of the Li family estate.
On a closer look, one of them was wearing a blue daoist robe and had the skin of a chicken and the hair of a crane. He had the demeanor of a saint, but who else could he be?
It is worth mentioning, however, that the word "past" seems to have been omitted.
Ever since Old Master Chen had returned, people had always thought that Old Master Chen was superior to Mister Lan. However, three months ago, when a Heavenly Path cultivator caused trouble in the Dazong Kingdom, when the emperor went to ask for Old Master Chen's help, Mister Lan had brazenly shown his true strength.
It turned out that Mister Lan was only publicizing his cultivation base at the Spirit Origin Stage. In fact, he had long since stepped into the Heavenly Path Realm. Not only that, he was also at the ninth level of the Heavenly Path and was only one step away from the Spirit King Realm.
It was only then that everyone realized that Mister Lan had always been the number one expert of the Dazong Kingdom, and one that had overshadowed the rapidly progressing Old Man Chen.
The people who came out of the Hidden Dragon Gate were indeed different.
Now that Mr Lan had appeared, he was brimming with radiance and looking even more spirited than before. It was obvious that he had taken another step forward.
The emperor's eyes lit up as he asked, "Mister Lan, you've advanced?"
Mr Lan stroked his beard with a smile and said, "Yes."
The emperor was overjoyed.
This meant that from today onwards, the Dasong Kingdom would have a Spirit King overseeing it!
One had to know, a country with a Spirit King, and a country with a Spirit Origin Stage cultivator, were two completely different concepts!
Even the second-rate powers in the city only had one Spirit King!
More importantly, with a Spirit King Cultivator like Mister Lan, facing Chen Yue Xin, the emperor was more confident than ever.
Other than Mister Lan, there was another person present.
This person was dressed in an ordinary black linen robe and was staring blankly at Chen Yue who was sitting high up on the tiger's back. His face was trembling and his eyes were filled with tears.
When he looked at Chen Yue Xin, she was also looking at him.
The old man trembled for a long time before he asked with a trembling voice, "You're back?"1
Chen Yue's heart felt like it had been heavily punched by someone.
Looking at the trembling old man, all the resentment and resentment disappeared in an instant. All that remained was endless love and guilt.
It was as if Chen Yue's heart was bursting with thousands of words, but all she did was transform them into a warm smile, "He's back."
