"Lin Feng, are you ready?" Asked Nian Ling Jiao. She was surrounded by the guards. She had tried her best to convince the Great Ancestor that Lin Feng could take advantage of this opportunity.
"Everything's ready. There should be no problems." Said Lin Feng while smiling indifferently. He was standing next to Nian Ling Jiao. They both turned around and entered the palace. The servants behind them were speechless. They were a perfect match, but the princess had called Lin Feng her brother. They didn't understand why.
"The Imperial City Magistrate and the Underworld Magistrate will come with my father. You have to be careful, they're all domineering cultivators." Nian Lingjiao lowered her voice, and there was some warning in her tone.
"I know." Lin Feng knew about the leaders of the southwest war world. The Great Ancestor and Ni Huang, Luo Zhaosheng, Jing Rui, and the others were in the northwest. Those leaders were the Great Ancestor's friends, and in some ways, they were his subordinates.
"Besides, the Imperial City Magistrate, Duan Rong, has a higher position than you and me. When you see him, you have to call him Master, don't call him Master." Nian Ling Jiao wanted to tell Lin Feng everything that he needed to pay attention to. Lin Feng smiled wryly and nodded, showing that he understood.
"Master, the Great Ancestor is here!"
While Nian Ling Jiao and Lin Feng were talking, their servants shouted. Lin Feng and Nian Ling Jiao turned around at the same time and saw a gigantic purple dragon carriage. The Great Ancestor was sitting inside. The other carriages next to the Great Ancestor were obviously the domineering cultivators.
Dongfang Yuqing and the princes were all riding horses. The atmosphere inside and outside of the palace had changed. The atmosphere was tense, but also lively.
After the carriage stopped, the Great Ancestor slowly walked into the palace. There were a few men wearing strange clothes next to him, which caught Lin Feng's attention. After all, there weren't many domineering cultivators. Apart from Dongfang Yuqing, there were only a few people Nian Ling Jiao had mentioned.
"Great Ancestor, Seniors, the preparations for the court meeting have been completed. Follow me." Said Lin Feng while clasping his fists at the great ancestor. He sounded neither arrogant nor humble. Nian Ling sighed. She had given Lin Feng so little, but Lin Feng didn't take it seriously at all.
The atmosphere was a little strange. Duan Rong and Han Yan looked at the Founding Ancestor with a hint of surprise in their eyes. They had never seen an official of the True Martial Dynasty like this. He didn't kneel when he saw the Founding Ancestor, nor did he address him as Lord. Instead, he followed the rules of the Battle World.
Dongfang Yuqing smiled coldly. He was waiting for Lin Feng to make a fool of himself. That was the only way he could convince the great ancestor to kill Lin Feng.
"That's Lin Feng. Have you ever heard of him?" asked the Great Ancestor, smiling. He looked at the three leaders.
Han Yan shook his head. He didn't know Lin Feng. He rarely went to the battle world, so he didn't know such a strong cultivator. Duan Rong's facial expression changed drastically. He remembered that the Dragon Ancestor and the others had come to visit him in the Imperial City because of Lin Feng.
But he couldn't tell the Great Ancestor about it. He had to find another opportunity to ask Lin Feng.
Ta Muxuan, the mayor of Pagoda City, didn't know either. He had never heard of Lin Feng, so he shook his head.
When the Founding Ancestor saw that they didn't know Lin Feng, he felt relieved. It was good that they didn't know Lin Feng. If they did, it would be troublesome. Lin Feng couldn't leave the Zhen Wu Dynasty, so the Founding Ancestor wouldn't let him leave.
"Alright, let's go in." Said the Founding Ancestor. He glanced at Lin Feng. Lin Feng walked in front of the crowd and led them to the public square behind the palace.
When they arrived at the public square, there were already many tables and chairs on the stage. There were all kinds of fruits, tea, and wine. There were also two rows of tables with five seats in each row.
The Great Ancestor stood on the stage, stunned. He didn't know what to do. Normally, he would have the Dragon Throne, but now that he didn't have it, he was stunned.
Dongfang Yuqing was a meticulous person. Seeing this scene, he felt a little awkward. He waved his hand and shouted, "Men, move the dragon throne!"
Immediately, some soldiers moved the golden throne and replaced it with a throne. The Founding Ancestor sat down and nodded at Dongfang Yuqing. Dongfang Yuqing pretended to be indifferent. He turned around and looked at Lin Feng, "Dharma King, the Founding Ancestor wants to sit on the throne, but you didn't prepare it properly. What are you doing as a host?"
"Alright, alright. Everyone, please sit down." Said Nian Ling Jiao. She knew that Dongfang Yuqing was going to cause trouble, so she asked Duan Rong, Han Yan, and Ta Muxuan to sit down. The three of them sat down on the Founding Ancestor's left and right. Qing Yu Sheng sat down next to Jestan and his four subordinates.
Nian Ling glanced at Lin Feng and sat down next to the Founding Ancestor. Dongfang Yuqing invited the three princes and the four ministers to sit down. Very quickly, there were more than twenty seats.
Lin Feng didn't understand the rules of the Imperial Court, but because of that, he had to make his own rules. It was better than being manipulated by those officials.
"Representatives, which of you are here to attend the court meeting? Please step forward and introduce yourselves." Lin Feng was looking at everyone on the fighting stage with a warm smile on his face.
After Lin Feng finished speaking, the several overlords gestured for their subordinates to stand up. Jestan also stood up. In addition to these people, there were also the four ministers.
Lin Feng looked at these people. The Imperial City Governor, Duan Rong, had sent a middle-aged man who was an Earth Grade God Ancestor. His aura was ordinary. Of course, this was for an Earth Grade God Ancestor, but in Lin Feng's eyes, he was a difficult person to deal with.
"Imperial City Deputy City Lord, Duan Long, Governor Duan Rong's younger brother." The man smiled slightly and introduced himself. He looked at Lin Feng with a hint of mockery. Of course, he didn't take Lin Feng seriously. He was just a Saint Grade God Ancestor, not worthy of his attention.
Lin Feng ignored Duan Long's contemptuous look and continued to look at the other representatives who stood up.
"I'm Taiqing Sect's representative, Qing Shan!" A handsome young man with an imposing aura clenched his fists and stared at Lin Feng with a smile. He was the Taiqing Sect's representative and Qing Yu Sheng's first disciple. He was also an Earth Grade God Ancestor.
"I'm Underworld's Underworld Judge's representative, Wu Ming!" A cold-faced man in a black robe briefly introduced himself. His tone was extremely cold, and there was even a hint of killing intent that made people afraid.
Lin Feng glanced at Wu Ming. He was indeed a Underworld Judge's representative. His whole body was filled with a murderous and decisive aura. This kind of bloody smell was exactly what Lin Feng was most afraid of.
"Heavenly Dao Court's next Master, Jestan!" Jestan slowly stood up and briefly introduced him. Then, he signaled to Lin Feng. Lin Feng glanced past him and directly looked at the last man. This man gave Lin Feng a special aura, which seemed very familiar.
"I'm Pagoda City's representative, Tucker."
Tucker saw that when Lin Feng looked at him, there was a slightly complicated look in his eyes. There seemed to be a hint of intimacy, which made him a little puzzled. Ta Muxuan saw Lin Feng's expression and was also a little puzzled. Could Lin Feng be related to his son?
"Pagoda City's Tucker, Pagoda Ancestor, Pagoda Ancestor, Pagoda Ancestor!" Whispered Lin Feng. His facial expression slightly changed. When he sensed Tucker's Qi and combined it with the pagoda ancestor's Qi, Lin Feng had the impression that he was the pagoda ancestor's relative.
"Lin Feng!" said Nian Ling Jiao using telepathy. She had no choice but to raise her voice. She realized that Lin Feng was a bit surprised.
Lin Feng woke up and calmly turned around. Then, he explained the rules, "The rules are very simple. Five people will form a group and they will compare their control over pure Qi. When the time comes, there will be five special stones placed in the five corners of the arena. The five people will need to use their entire body's strength and pure Qi to control their stones. In the end, whoever's stone is in the middle of the arena will advance to the next round."
When Lin Feng said that, he pointed to the blue circle on the white floor in the middle of the stage. The circle was less than a meter in diameter, but it was a few hundred meters away from the edge of the stage. In other words, they had to push the stone from the edge of the stage to the center of the circle. It seemed simple, but the five people not only had to control their own stones, but also had to destroy others' stones.
"There are a total of ten people participating in this time's court meeting, including me. Eight of them are Earth-Grade God Ancestors. Only Jestan and I are Saint-Grade God Ancestors. So it's okay for the two of us to choose the other four people in each group, right?" When Lin Feng said that, he could not help but ask the other representatives.
The representatives could only shake their heads. Indeed, only Lin Feng and Jestan were Saint-Grade God Ancestors. The others were all Earth-Grade God Ancestors, so it was suitable for the two of them to choose.
"Alright, after we choose, the two groups will proceed. If there are only two people who advance to the next round, then we will proceed to the finals. If there are more than two people, then we will proceed to the semifinals, and so on."
When Lin Feng finished explaining the rules of the court meeting, the entire Zhen Wu Dynasty was stunned. This was indeed the simplest rule in the history of the court meeting, but it was cruel!
"Next …"
"Wait!"
Lin Feng was about to announce the start of the court meeting, but before he could say anything, Dongfang Yuqing suddenly raised his arm and shouted, interrupting Lin Feng's thoughts.
"What's the matter?" Lin Feng glanced at Dongfang Yuqing coldly. Regardless of Dongfang Yuqing's status as an overlord, Lin Feng did not like him.
Dongfang Yuqing laughed coldly, glanced at the Penal Army, and then at his Combat Army. He smiled and said, "Fawang, before the court meeting begins, don't forget to hold the ceremony for the establishment of the two armies."
"Since we are going to hold the ceremony for the establishment of the two armies, wouldn't it be inappropriate if we don't test the strength and quality of the two armies?" Dongfang Yuqing's smile seemed harmless, but in his heart, he was extremely vicious. He always wanted to kill Lin Feng.
"Just tell me what you want, don't talk nonsense."
