The Emperor of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom was a tall middle-aged man with a square face. He was dressed in a golden dragon robe, and his long black hair was draped over his back.
When he came in, a middle-aged man followed closely behind him. There were also six elderly people following behind him. They were divided into two groups, with three on each side. They were protecting him on his left and right like an iron wall protecting him.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
…
As soon as the Emperor of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom entered, the people in the spacious hall of Xu Rong Palace immediately bowed and greeted him. Only a few people did not bow at all.
These few people included Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er.
There was also a young woman standing next to the Fourth Prince of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom. She was an old acquaintance of Duan Lingtian. She was none other than Zhou Shu Qiu, the third miss of the Zhou clan.
"Shu Qiu is here as well?"
Only three people did not bow at all. Naturally, they attracted a lot of attention. Even Long Dong Ping, the Emperor of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom, had noticed them.
However, his gaze soon landed on Zhou Shuqiu again, and he greeted her with a kind smile.
"Your Majesty."
Zhou Shu Qiu nodded indifferently in response to the Emperor of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom.
Long Dong Ping was not angry at all. Instead, he walked up to Zhou Shu Qiu and said with a smile, "Shu Qiu, how many times have I told you that I'm your uncle? In the future, no matter what the occasion is, you can just call me uncle. There's no need to be so formal."
"Your Majesty, this is a public occasion after all. It's inappropriate for me to call you uncle."
Zhou Shu Qiu shook her head.
"Forget it. You've always been like this. Once you've made up your mind, you won't change your mind. You've been like this since you were young."
Long Dong Ping shook his head. After he finished speaking, he looked at Long Xiang Yun, the Fourth Prince, who was standing next to Zhou Shu Qiu and said solemnly, "Fourth Prince, you have to treat Shu Qiu well. If you make her unhappy, don't blame me for punishing you!"
"Don't worry, father. Shu Qiu is my cousin. I'll definitely take good care of her."
Long Xiangyun hurriedly replied.
At the same time, he was puzzled. He couldn't figure out why his cousin would be interested in today's selection. She even came with his little cousin Zhou Shu Dong.
"Shuqiu, I still have to preside over today's selection, so I won't stay here any longer. If you have any needs, just look for Fourth Brother. If he makes you unhappy, just say the word and I will send him to the Cold Palace for a few days! "
Long Dongping then looked at Zhou Shuqiu and said with a doting expression.
He spoke as if Long Xiangyun was not his biological son and Zhou Shuqiu was his biological daughter.
"Yes."
Zhou Shuqiu nodded and didn't say anything else.
When Long Dongping left, the middle-aged man and the six old men behind him greeted Zhou Shuqiu at the same time. "Miss Shuqiu!"
When they greeted him, their tone was full of respect, and they did not dare to slight him in the slightest.
If Zhou Shuqiu was an ordinary woman, she would have been shocked to receive such treatment.
After all, apart from Long Dongping, who was the supreme Emperor of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom, the seven men who followed him were all pillars of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom. Most of them were heaven-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials. Only two of them were earth-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials.
Naturally, the earth-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials who followed the Emperor of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom were not ordinary earth-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials.
Their strength was second to none among the earth-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials in the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom. They were almost as strong as heaven-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials.
However, none of them were surprised by Zhou Shuqiu's treatment. Instead, they felt it was only natural.
In their eyes, the Emperor of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom was a high and mighty figure.
However, Zhou Shuqiu's other identity was even more extraordinary.
She was the last disciple of the former Sect Leader of the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect, one of the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland.
Such a person was not someone the Emperor of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom could compare to.
Long Dongping, the Emperor of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom, instinctively glanced at Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er as he made his way to the stone platform in the middle of Xu Rong Palace.
"Who are these two people?"
Even Shu Qiu can't do anything to them. '
As the Emperor of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom, although this was his first time meeting Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er, he had long been aware of their existence. He had even investigated their origins.
However, he did not manage to find anything useful in such a short time.
"The intelligence network of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom can't compare to the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect's intelligence network. Since Shu Qiu didn't do anything to them even after learning that her younger sister had suffered such a huge loss, it's very likely she already knows about their background. Moreover, they're not simple."
For this reason, even though Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er were rude to him, he did not make a fuss about it.
If it were two people whose backgrounds were far inferior to the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom's Imperial family, he would have been furious. He would have ordered them to be punished for being disrespectful in front of him.
'Hm? Didn't they say that the white-clad woman is younger than 100 years old? It seems like the rumors aren't true after all. '
After Long Dong Ping extended his Divine Consciousness, he discovered the aura of Huan 'er who was standing next to Duan Ling Tian did not belong to someone younger than 100 years old. For a moment, he thought the rumors were unreliable.
Nevertheless, he did not dare to underestimate Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er.
After all, even Zhou Shu Qiu would not dare to offend them.
He was unaware of the reason Zhou Shu Qiu did not make a move on Duan Lingtian. Otherwise, he would not have thought this way.
"Brother Ling Tian, the Emperor of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom used his Divine Consciousness to probe me earlier."
Since she had become an earth-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial, it was easy for her to sense the Emperor's Divine Consciousness. After all, the Emperor's cultivation base was only one stage higher than hers.
"I think he's trying to probe your age. As for your cultivation base, he doesn't have the ability to do so."
Duan Lingtian said.
Although she did not have the defective metal piece to protect her soul and conceal her cultivation base, as a Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox, her soul was protected by the power of inheritance. Due to this, it was difficult for others to detect her cultivation base through the aura of her soul.
Duan Lingtian was aware of this.
"Everyone."
Shortly after, Long Dongping, the Emperor of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom, stepped onto the stone platform in the middle of the main hall of Xu Rong Palace. He looked around and announced, "I'm sure everyone knows the rules of today's selection. I won't say much about them."
Long Dongping did not beat around the bush and announced the start of the selection.
Everyone present already knew the rules of today's selection.
The powerhouses under the age of 100 would compete with the powerhouses under the age of 100 that were recruited by the princes. The most outstanding fifty would be given a spot in the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom to participate in the Grand Contest of the Wasteland.
The 50 people would be divided into the princes and the princes. The strongest powerhouse in the princes and the strongest powerhouse in the princes and the strongest powerhouse in the princes and princes respectively.
However, once the powerhouses were in the princes' or princes' faction, they would not be allowed to change their positions.
Take Feng Wu Ji Guang, the Violet Sun Golden Celestial who was less than 100 years old from the Grand Prestige Mansion as an example. Initially, everyone thought he would represent the Grand Prestige Mansion in the selection. Who would have thought he would represent the seventh prince?
For this reason, he would belong to the princes' faction.
Regardless of whether he could win the title of the strongest powerhouse in the Wasteland, he would not be allowed to participate in the competition between the princes and princes.
This was done to prevent one person from obtaining the title of 'Number One Prince' and 'Number One Prince' for both a prince and a mansion.
In any case, today's selection was very humane.
…
Soon after, the selection began.
Since Feng Wu Ji Guang was a Violet Sun Golden Celestial who was less than 100 years old, the appearance of Indigo Sun Golden Celestials did not cause much of a commotion.
"Feng Wu Ji Guang hasn't made his move yet. If he makes his move, it'll be easy for him to win the title of the strongest powerhouse in the Wasteland!"
At this moment, many people in Xu Rong Palace shared the same thought.
As time passed, Feng Wu Ji Guang made his move as well. He was invincible and unstoppable.
The top 50 powerhouses were about to be selected.
"Thirteenth brother, why aren't your people here yet?"
Long Qing Yun, the seventh prince, and Long Fei Yun, the thirteenth prince, were standing far away from each other. He sent a Voice Transmission to Long Fei Yun. "It seems like you've given up because you know it's impossible for you to win the title of the strongest powerhouse in the Wasteland. What a pity.
In fact, even if you know it's impossible for you to win the title of the strongest powerhouse in the Wasteland Grand Contest, you shouldn't give up. Who knows, father might even praise you if you find a few young powerhouses who are qualified to participate in the Wasteland Grand Contest.
If you can't even find a young powerhouse who's qualified to participate in the Wasteland Grand Contest, father might dislike you even more. Hahahaha! "
Long Qing Yun could not help but laugh when he reached the end of his Voice Transmission.
"Humph!"
Long Fei Yun snorted when he heard Long Qing Yun's words. "The young powerhouses I found have arrived a long time ago. Seventh brother, you must have a problem with your eyes."
When Long Fei Yun said this, he was just short of calling Long Qing Yun blind.
Hearing Long Feiyun's words, Long Qingyun flew into a rage.
Whoosh!
