Although the Imperial Family and the other major forces could find out that the assassin who killed Ji Tianxing was from the Hidden Killer Pavilion, the Hidden Killer Pavilion was powerful.
However, the Hidden Slayer Pavilion was very powerful. Their connections in the Chu Yun Empire were deeply rooted.
Furthermore, the Hidden Killer Pavilion was very secretive and had many experts in charge.
No one was willing to offend the Hidden Killer Pavilion. Even the Imperial Family would not start a war with the Hidden Killer Pavilion for Ji Tianxing.
Anyway, Ji Tianxing was not dead and he would leave the Chu Yun Empire in three days. No one wanted to cause more trouble.
Just like that, the matter was left unsettled.
The Hidden Killer Pavilion did not send any more assassins and the mastermind did not make any further moves.
Of course, the Hidden Killer Pavilion had offended the Sage Emperor by looking down on him. They would definitely be suppressed by the Sage Emperor in the future.
The eyes of the various forces were focused on Yin Wu Que.
His mansion in the south of the city had become the focus of attention.
Many forces were guessing that Yin Wu Que must have a motive for being so close to Ji Tianxing.
As for the Imperial Family, there were also rumors from the Imperial Palace.
It was said that on the second morning of the incident, Yin Wu Que personally went to the Imperial Palace to meet the Sage Emperor and had a long talk with him.
No one knew what they talked about.
Everyone only knew that in the next three days, Ji Tianxing stayed in Yin Wu Que's mansion and did not show his face.
The Sage Emperor did not express any opinions on this matter and seemed to have silently agreed.
Three days passed quickly.
On this morning, when the sun rose from the east, countless citizens had gathered in the city square.
There were at least three hundred thousand people gathered in the spacious square and were discussing with anticipation.
Today was the day of the arrival of the Clear Sky Pagoda's messenger. The fifteen young geniuses were also going to leave the Chu Yun Empire and head to the Clear Sky Pagoda.
Almost all the citizens knew that the Clear Sky Pagoda was the holy land of martial arts and the place where the Divine Master taught. It had a revered and holy status.
No one had seen the Clear Sky Pagoda with their own eyes and had never bathed in its divine light.
However, everyone knew that every time the messenger of the Clear Sky Pagoda arrived in the Imperial City, it would bring along a sky full of divine light.
Under the envelopment of the divine light, flowers fell from the sky and green lotuses surged from the ground. There were even thousands of rays of multicolored light and thousands of strands of auspicious qi.
Any martial artist who had been baptized by the divine light would have a cleansing effect. Their martial aptitude would be even more outstanding, and their comprehension talent would also increase accordingly.
All in all, this was a miracle that only happened once every twenty years. It would bring great benefits to the people.
Therefore, every time the Divine Envoys arrived at the Imperial City, it would cause a huge commotion.
As time passed, the morning sun gradually rose into the sky.
More and more citizens rushed over from all directions and gathered around the square.
The huge square was surrounded by people, and not even a drop of water could trickle through. As far as the eye could see, it was packed with people.
The number of people present today was even more than the number on the day of the Ranking Battle, reaching almost six hundred thousand.
In the middle of the square, there were already over a hundred people lined up in an orderly formation on the arena that was a thousand feet above the ground. They were all standing respectfully.
They were the civil and military officials of the Chu Yun Empire and the fifteen young geniuses.
Not long after, Great Emperor Chu Yun, the Holy Master, and the eight nobles also stepped onto the stage and stood in front of everyone.
The arena was silent. Everyone's faces were solemn, and their hearts were filled with anticipation.
The six hundred thousand citizens in the square also remained silent. They looked up at the sky with excitement and waited in silence.
When the sun was high in the sky, a dazzling golden light suddenly lit up in the southern sky.
It was a belt of dazzling golden light. It was as fast as lightning, and it streaked across the sky toward Heavenly Cloud City.
The hundreds of thousands of citizens in the square immediately burst into cheers of joy.
"Look, the Divine Envoys have arrived!"
"We've waited for twenty years. We can finally see the Divine Envoys again!"
"I've been shackled for more than ten years. I hope that today, I can bathe in the divine light and successfully break through!"
The cheers rose and fell, and they converged into a torrential sound wave that reverberated through the sky.
On the arena, Ji Tianxing, Wu Que, and the dozen young geniuses all turned their heads to look at the southern sky. Their eyes were filled with anticipation.
Yin Wu Que stood beside Ji Tianxing. Seeing Ji Tianxing's calm expression, Yin Wu Que transmitted a message to remind him, "Mister Ji, when the godly light descends, you must focus on refining it. It will be extremely beneficial."
Ji Tianxing only nodded slightly and didn't say anything.
In the blink of an eye, the dazzling golden light flew into the Imperial City and arrived above the square.
Instantly, the sun in the sky was blocked out. Half of the Imperial City was enveloped by the divine golden light.
Heaven and earth were filled with dazzling light, and the air was filled with extremely dense Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi.
Within the golden light and clouds, there was a sacred and solemn guard of honor.
More than a hundred guards in golden armor, each of them handsome and heroic. They held golden halberds in their hands and had treasured swords at their waists. They looked very dignified.
There were also over a hundred young and beautiful maids, dressed in exquisite dresses, holding all kinds of musical instruments, playing the beautiful sounds of nature.
A hundred guards and a hundred maids clustered around a luxurious golden carriage.
The golden carriage was more than a hundred feet wide. It was gilded with gold and inlaid with tens of thousands of precious gems and divine jades. Its design was extremely exquisite and beautiful.
Without a doubt, this was the carriage of the Clear Sky Pagoda's envoy. It was a symbol of his prestige and extraordinary status.
The Sage Emperor looked up at the golden carriage in the sky and saluted first. He bowed and shouted, "Welcome to Heavenly Cloud City, Divine Envoy!"
As the Sage Emperor's voice fell, the Sage Emperor, the civil and military officials, as well as the hundreds of thousands of commoners, all knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully.
"Welcome to Heavenly Cloud City, Divine Envoy!"
The uniform shouts converged into a deafening torrent of sound waves that resounded through the clouds.
The Sage Emperor maintained a bowing posture. The civil and military officials, as well as the hundreds of thousands of commoners, also maintained a kowtowing posture. They were very sincere.
The golden carriage high in the sky gradually lit up with dazzling rainbow-colored divine light.
A tall and burly figure walked out of the golden carriage and stood on the golden auspicious cloud.
This person wore a purple robe with dragons and phoenixes carved on it. The lapel of the robe was embroidered with the pattern of stars, sun, and moon. He looked very noble.
He was a middle-aged man with a dignified face. He had a beard and a golden crown on his head. His temperament was dignified but elegant. He had the ethereal aura of an otherworldly expert.
Obviously, he was the envoy sent by the Clear Sky Pagoda to receive them.
He looked down at the entire square from above. His eyes swept over the civil and military officials, the fifteen young geniuses, and the hundreds of thousands of commoners. His voice was loud and solemn as he said, "Clear Sky is virtuous. It benefits the common people. It enlightens and nourishes all living things …"
He chanted some kind of sacred incantation. His hands slowly unfurled a dark golden scroll.
Suddenly, a rainbow-colored divine light gushed out of the scroll. It poured down like a torrential flood and enveloped the entire square.
The area completely turned into a world of golden light. Hundreds of thousands of people were bathed in the divine light. Their bodies were undergoing subtle and mysterious changes. Their strength and talents were also rapidly increasing.
