Princess Long knew that this place was unusual, so she lowered her head, not daring to say a word or take a step forward.
Cynanchum Chinense, on the other hand, was taught by Shen Zhenyi. She didn't care about anything and was naturally curious. She looked around and saw many people wearing high hats and wide belts, as well as some wearing armor. They were divided into two rows and stood on both sides of the hall. She couldn't help but click her tongue in wonder.
These were the hundreds of officials of the imperial court, the core of the Great Moon Dynasty, who controlled the world of eight cultivators and recruited a large number of experts.
This group of people, together with the experts who participated in the Nine Buddhist Heavenly Duel Arena, could be considered the strongest existences in the world of eight cultivators.
The hall was very big, and there were at least a hundred people, so it wasn't crowded.
Everyone had an empty table and chair, and beauties served them good wine and food, so they could enjoy to their heart's content.
"Today's banquet is only about martial arts, regardless of seniority. Everyone, please."
The emperor's calm voice came from the top of the hall.
There was a layer of golden mist in front of him, making it impossible to see his appearance clearly. However, one could vaguely see that there was another thin figure sitting next to the emperor.
"That must be the most favored Princess Yan."
Cynanchum Chinense and Princess Long whispered to each other.
Princess Yan's name had spread all over the world in recent years. There were rumors everywhere that the emperor, Chanyu Jing, was going to pass the throne to his most outstanding daughter, and not the crown prince, who had been the heir for a hundred years.
"For the emperor to bring her along instead of the crown prince on such an occasion, his attitude should be very obvious."
The lifespan of an emperor was longer than that of an ordinary martial artist. A change in the throne was a major event in the world of eight cultivators. Now that Chanyu Jing was in his prime, the struggle between the crown prince and the princess would continue for a long time, and it might even affect the future of the world for several decades.
Except for Shen Zhenyi, everyone was speculating about what kind of person Princess Yan was, hoping to have the opportunity to attract her attention.
Shen Zhenyi didn't look at the princess and just casually ate a few dishes and drank a few mouthfuls of wine.
The taste was delicious, and the spiritual energy was abundant. However, he didn't have a high demand for external things. He would use what he had and avoid what he didn't have.
He was not paying attention to the princess, but the princess was paying attention to him.
"This person is Shen Zhenyi. His white robes are whiter than snow, and his appearance is extraordinary. The name of the Third Young Master Shen is indeed well-deserved."
The Emperor chuckled as he drank.
Princess Yan's gaze was also fixed on Shen Zhenyi. She was surprised to see that he was gentle, elegant, and did not look like a martial artist.
"What do you think of him?"
The Emperor turned to ask his beloved daughter.
"This person's Sword Qi is contained within, and he is calm and unhurried. He has the appearance of a great master. If there is a chance, he will definitely become a great talent."
Princess Yan recalled what Xiang Xue had said and answered carefully.
She knew that the Emperor's casual words could be a test.
The Emperor smiled. "He is so young, and he has already achieved so much. As long as one has eyes, one can see that he will definitely achieve great success. There is no need to say more."
However, Moon Decapitation had already climbed to the peak of the martial artists in the World of Eighth Cultivators ten years ago. Given another hundred years, even Chan Yujing didn't dare to imagine how far he would go.
"I only want to ask you one thing. How should we deal with this kind of person?"
The Emperor's tone suddenly turned cold. He turned to look at his daughter.
Princess Yan's heart trembled. She had been paying too much attention to Shen Zhenyi these past few days. It was impossible that her father didn't know.
Today, she saw that Shen Zhenyi was handsome. After all, Princess Yan was still a young girl, so she couldn't help but be attracted to him.
Now that she was asked by her father, her expression changed.
She thought for a while and calmed down. Then, she said carefully, "If we can use him, we use him. If we can't, we kill him. "
The Emperor was silent. He looked at her for a long time, as if he was trying to find a flaw in her face. After a long time, he nodded slightly.
"You're half right," said Li Tianlan.
Princess Yan faced her father's pressure. She couldn't help but feel her palms sweat. She didn't dare to speak or move anymore. She just sat there quietly and waited.
Most of the people at the banquet had a great time eating and parting happily.
It was only when the sky turned dark and the Emperor and Princess Yan had left that everyone reluctantly left.
Chu Huoluo and Princess Long were chatting noisily. They were discussing the latest news in the Heavenly Jade Palace.
The two of them were quite excited.
Shen Zhenyi remained silent throughout the journey.
"Master, what are you thinking about?" Princess Long felt that something was wrong and asked Shen Zhenyi.
Shen Zhenyi shook his head and said with a smile, "It's nothing serious. It's just that for a moment, when the Emperor looked at me, he revealed a deep killing intent."
What?
Cynanchum Chinense almost jumped up.
The Emperor wants to kill you. How is this nothing serious?
Although the royal family wasn't ranked in the martial arts rankings, everyone in the World of Eight Cultivators knew that the Emperor was definitely the number one expert in this world.
If he couldn't reach the peak of the ninth stage of the Enlightened Person Realm, he wouldn't be able to sit firmly in this position.
Some people said that the Emperor's martial path was the limit of the World of Eight Cultivators. As long as they fought in the World of Eight Cultivators, no one could beat him.
The problem was that the royal family had more than one expert. They had a bunch of eighth and ninth stage Enlightened Person Realm experts, and they even had black armored cavalry. They were invincible.
If the Emperor wanted his subject to die, the subject had no choice but to die.
… This wasn't loyalty, but helplessness.
In the World of Eight Cultivators, Chan Yujing had the power to decide life and death. Whoever he wanted to kill would die without a doubt.
Shen Zhenyi … Although he was special, it was still beyond his power to go against an entire dynasty by himself, right?
Princess Long and Cynanchum Chinense turned pale.
Shen Zhenyi didn't care. He shook his head and said, "He usually hid it very well. It was only for a moment that he revealed it. Princess Yan didn't have any hostility toward me."
Cynanchum Chinense made a wild guess. "Could it be that the Emperor was angry because the Princess took a fancy to Master and wanted to kill you?"
Old Tai always found his son-in-law displeasing to the eye.
Cynanchum Chinense thought that her Master was so outstanding that even the Princess, who could inherit the throne, had to look at him in a different light. She felt proud, but also a little sour in her heart.
Shen Zhenyi smiled and said, "Nonsense."
He actually felt that it was a little strange. The Emperor wanted to kill him for no reason, which made him a little suspicious.
As the royal family of the World of Eight Cultivators, it wasn't strange for them to be worried that the rise of an individual would affect their power. However, the royal family controlled more than half of the world's resources and had countless armored cavalry. They shouldn't be so afraid.
If they were afraid of the rise of martial arts, why would they hold the Nine Buddhist Heavenly Duel Arena?
Shen Zhenyi became suspicious.
