Su Zimo did not leave immediately. Instead, he intended to stay in the palace for a few days to accompany his brother.
After all, he did not know when he would return again.
Demoness Ji did not leave either and stayed in the palace with Su Zimo. She would only head out occasionally and tease Su Zimo when she had nothing to do.
As the King of Yan, Su Hong naturally would not stay in the harem all the time.
He would take time out every day to attend court and review memorials.
During this period of time, Su Zimo sat quietly in his room, raising his cultivation and cultivating the Organs Refinement section. At the same time, he comprehended the bloodline spirit arts he obtained from the stone coffin as well as the Buddha Bead.
Before leaving Misty Peak, Su Zimo's cultivation realm was already at the peak of early-stage Foundation Establishment.
After the battle in the inheritance ground and obtaining more than half of the bloodline essence of the mysterious skeleton, Su Zimo broke through to mid-stage Foundation Establishment within a few days. Everything happened naturally.
Su Zimo's bloodline realm was extraordinary to begin with and he had already reached the legendary tsunami blood.
Naturally, it was relatively easy for him to cultivate those bloodline spirit arts.
As for the Organs Refinement section, Su Zimo still had no clue about it.
He would only think about it occasionally and put it aside because he did not gain anything.
During this period of time, Su Zimo's greatest focus was on the mysterious Buddha Bead.
It was clear that there was a powerful secret skill hidden within the Buddha Bead – Fiend Suppression Seal!
Each time Su Zimo stared at the Buddha Bead, he would fall into an illusion and experience the aura of the golden palm, the hand seals that it conjured, descending from the heavens to suppress evil and destroy mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
He pondered and tried to figure it out repeatedly, unwilling to miss out on a single detail.
…
This day, a group of Foundation Establishment Cultivators arrived in the capital of Yan Kingdom. The man and woman in the lead were Xu You and Chen Meng Qi.
"Junior Sister, in my opinion, let's barge into the palace openly and drag Prince Yan out. After inquiring about Junior Brother Zhou's whereabouts, we'll take our revenge. What do you think?" Xu You asked for Chen Meng Qi's opinion with a smile.
Chen Meng Qi frowned and shook her head. "I don't want to see these old friends. I won't go with you."
Xu You rolled his eyes and nodded. "That's right. With our status, if we look for the King of Yan, we will elevate his status instead."
"Junior Brothers Liang Hao and Liu Hongyi, please bring a few of your fellow disciples to the palace and 'invite' King Yan, Su Hong over!"
Xu You emphasized the word 'please'. His intention was self-evident – he wanted Su Hong to suffer a little.
Two Iridescent Clouds Palace cultivators stood out and cupped their fists. "Don't worry, Senior Brother Xu. Leave this to us."
Xu You nodded.
Both Liang Hao and Liu Hongyi were in the late stage of Foundation Establishment. In the capital of the Country of Yan, they could do whatever they wanted.
Not to mention the Iridescent Clouds Palace's sect medallion hanging on their waists. Who would be so blind as to provoke them?
Xu You, Chen Meng Qi, and Shen Nan casually found an inn and stayed there, waiting for Liang Hao, Liu Hongyi, and the rest to bring King Yan over.
Among them, the most excited one was Shen Nan.
For the past two years, ever since Su Hong was conferred the title of king, Shen Nan had been living in fear, afraid that the Su family would settle scores with him one day.
But now, Shen Nan no longer had to be afraid!
…
After Su Hong left court today, he headed towards the harem.
When he arrived at Su Zimo's door and realized that it was tightly shut, he paused for a moment and turned to leave instead of knocking.
He guessed that Su Zimo might be in seclusion and did not disturb him.
After returning to his bedroom, Su Hong continued to read through the memorials. Before long, a commotion sounded from outside.
"Who's there?!"
"Ah!"
Vaguely, there were sounds of fighting and tragic cries, as though someone had barged into the palace and was heading here.
"Hmm?"
Su Hong frowned but his expression did not change much as he remained calm.
Liu Yu and Yuchi Huo exchanged glances and hurriedly stood in front of Su Hong, whispering, "Eldest Young Master, leave from the back."
Song Qi stood up and withdrew a flying sword from his storage bag. With a grim expression, he shook his head. "I'm afraid we won't be able to leave."
Snap!
The moment he said that, the door of the bedroom was slammed open by a tremendous force and shattered into pieces.
More than ten cultivators barged in with huge strides, looking around with their heads held high in an imposing manner.
Sweeping his gaze, Song Qi could not help but be shocked and his breathing stagnated.
Foundation Establishment Cultivators!
More than ten cultivators and all of them were Foundation Establishment Cultivators!
The two in the lead had even higher cultivation realms – they were both late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators!
A force as such was almost destructive to a vassal state.
"When did the Country of Yan offend such a force?"
Song Qi's mind raced as he pondered. "That doesn't make sense. We rarely interacted with cultivators in the past. There's no way we could have offended them."
Song Qi's gaze landed on the badges on the waists of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators and he focused his gaze.
Iridescent Clouds!
One of the five major sects, Iridescent Clouds Palace!
Something big had happened!
Pretending to be calm, Song Qi revealed a smile and said in a deep voice, "Seniors of Iridescent Clouds Palace, please forgive me for not going out to welcome you."
Without even looking at Song Qi, Liang Hao raised his head slightly and looked around with his nose in the air. Finally, he looked at Su Hong who was sitting in the middle and raised his brow. "You're the King of Yan, Su Hong?"
"That's me."
Su Hong stood up slowly with a calm expression. Pushing Liu Yu and Yuchi Huo away, he looked straight at Liang Hao and the others.
"Fu …"
A mocking smile appeared on Liu Hongyi's lips as he chuckled. "Truly, the ignorant are fearless. To think that you can remain so calm even now. I wonder if you'll be scared out of your wits later!"
"May I know why you've barged into the Country of Yan's palace?"
Su Hong's tone was calm, neither servile nor overbearing.
"What's the matter?"
Liang Hao's expression darkened as he suddenly hollered, "Su Hong, how dare you! Kneel down when you see the immortals of Iridescent Clouds Palace!"
His voice was deafening and reverberated throughout the bedroom in an imposing manner.
It was as though there was truly an immortal looking down at the masses and questioning them loudly.
Even Song Qi's face was pale, let alone mortals. His chest felt stuffy and his heart thumped wildly.
Raising his head, Su Hong suddenly laughed and asked instead, "Why should I kneel?"
"Indeed, you're ignorant. Seems like you won't shed tears until you see the coffin. I've really got to let you suffer a little!"
Liu Hongyi said sinisterly with a menacing expression. Just as he was about to stride forward, a voice sounded from outside.
"The people of Iridescent Clouds Palace sure are promising. Forcing others to kneel for no reason, fufu."
That statement was clearly filled with mockery and disdain. Instantly, everyone from Iridescent Clouds Palace was enraged and turned back.
A green-robed man strode over. His features were refined and he looked like a scholar. However, when he narrowed his eyes, they were long and narrow like sabers. There was a cold glint in them that was extremely sharp.
Behind the green-robed man was a woman in pink. She was so beautiful that it was suffocating. Her eyes seemed to be able to speak as light swirled around her, causing ripples to form in the hearts of many cultivators.
