Bu Fang got out of bed, stretched his back and went to the kitchen. Ji Chengxue had already left. Swallowing half a stalk of Phoenix Blood Grass allowed him to endure the pain of rebirth. This was not bad either.
The melodious sound of a bell came from outside the window, carrying a hint of sorrow and heaviness. Only then did Bu Fang remember that today seemed to be the day of the old emperor's funeral.
After hesitating for a moment, Bu Fang finally decided to go to the Gate of Heavenly Mystery to take a look. After all, he had a good impression of the old emperor. This emperor was indeed a good one, and a gluttonous one at that.
After deep-frying two Oyster Pancakes for breakfast, Bu Fang wrapped himself in a fur coat and walked out of the store. He hung a wooden board on the door to indicate that the store was closed for business, then headed in the direction of the Gate of Heavenly Mystery.
Today, heavy snowflakes were still falling from the sky. It was like a beautiful painting.
Bu Fang took out a steaming hot Oyster Pancake. After blowing on it, he directly bit into it. After the crispy skin was bitten into pieces, a rich fragrance spread out from within. Smelling this fragrance, Bu Fang's stomach could not help but feel even hungrier.
While eating the Oyster Pancake, Bu Fang walked and soon arrived at the vermilion walls of the Gate of Heavenly Mystery. A long queue had already formed and many of the citizens were craning their necks to look into the Gate of Heavenly Mystery, wanting to see the scene inside.
Bu Fang, on the other hand, was not in a hurry at all. He was happily eating the Oyster Pancake at the back of the queue. The fragrance spread to the surroundings and attracted the gazes of the citizens to land on his body.
What kind of fragrance was this … It was simply too fragrant!
The eyes of the citizens were filled with desire as they looked at the Oyster Pancake in Bu Fang's hand. Many of them even licked their lips, subconsciously wanting to lick the fragrance. However, they were only rewarded with the coldness of winter.
Crunch crunch … Bu Fang once again took a bite of the Oyster Pancake and expressionlessly chewed at the side. The people around him were furious. This was simply an animal. Eating such a fragrant thing so early in the morning, was he trying to attract hatred?
Therefore, a large circle quickly appeared around Bu Fang. The people around him all moved away, not wanting to get close to Bu Fang, lest they suffer the torture of the fragrance.
Bu Fang glanced at the people around him expressionlessly. He was a little confused. What were these people doing?
Since there was an empty spot, Bu Fang naturally walked forward. The moment he walked, the surrounding crowd dispersed. This allowed Bu Fang to easily stand at the entrance of the Gate of Heavenly Mystery, an excellent position to observe the situation.
"Hmm? That guy ran so fast. So this is where he came from. " Bu Fang took a bite of the Oyster Pancake as he looked at the confrontation between King Yu and the crown prince in front of the Main Hall.
Ji Chengxue's entire temperament had changed. After all, after experiencing a life and death situation, his mental state had undergone a huge transformation. In the past, he was somewhat fearful when facing the crown prince and King Yu. However, he was now able to remain calm and composed. He even used his gaze to directly threaten King Yu and the crown prince, causing the two of them to slightly back off.
"I'm the successor, I'm here to receive the coffin," Ji Chengxue mocked as he glanced at the two of them.
King Yu and the crown prince were immediately stunned as they angrily glared at Ji Chengxue … This brat actually became so arrogant!
Lian Fu nodded and guided Ji Chengxue to stand in the Main Hall. Then, the coffin receiving ceremony began. The ceremony was actually not very complicated and ended in a short while.
At this point, the coffin receiving ceremony truly began.
The so-called coffin receiving ceremony was a tradition of the Light Wind Imperial Family that had been passed down for generations. The successor would receive the coffin and once the coffin receiving party walked out of the Gate of Heavenly Mystery, it meant that the person receiving the coffin had obtained the approval of the deceased and officially handed over the throne.
This was also the reason why the crown prince and King Yu were so interested in the identity of the person receiving the coffin.
The court musicians began to play once again. In the depths of the Main Hall, eight tall and sturdy Battle-Kings with bare upper bodies slowly walked out while carrying a huge bronze coffin.
Their footsteps were extremely firm. Every step they took caused the accumulated snow on the ground to tremble.
The coffin was made of bronze and there were many mysterious patterns engraved on it. There were ancient divine beasts, flowers that were difficult to name, and there were also all kinds of characters and diagrams...
Ji Chengxue solemnly walked in front of the eight Battle-Kings that were carrying the coffin. His expression was solemn and he was meticulous.
With every step the eight Battle-Kings took, white smoke would be emitted from their nostrils. Each step was firm and slow, yet it was as if they were stepping on the hearts of everyone present.
On the main road of the Gate of Heavenly Mystery, the eight Battle-Kings were carrying the coffin forward. This scene caused everyone to hold their breaths. Even the snowflakes falling from the sky seemed to have stopped and the atmosphere became extremely heavy.
Zhao Musheng narrowed his eyes as he looked at the bronze coffin. An obscure brilliance was circulating within his eyes. For an emperor of a generation to end up in a deep slumber within a small space, how sorrowful was that for an emperor of a generation?
Ring ring ring!
Just as the group carrying the coffin arrived at the center of the Gate of Heavenly Mystery, the sound of true energy gushing could be heard.
King Yu's expression was cold as he coldly stared at Ji Chengxue, who was standing at the front of the group, and indifferently said, "If your third eldest brother sits on the throne, I, King Yu, will be the first one to object …"
Boom boom boom!
King Yu's voice was not loud, but it reverberated throughout the entire Gate of Heavenly Mystery. Behind him, streams of terrifying aura gushed out as several figures sped toward Ji Chengxue.
"How dare you!!" Lian Fu angrily shouted from the high platform in the Main Hall. His voice was like a thunderclap as he took a step forward and swung his horsetail whisk.
As a brilliance circulated and a pitch-black stream of light flickered, the silhouette of a Hades suddenly appeared. It was incomparably huge and proudly stood at the center of the Gate of Heavenly Mystery. The spirit fire within Hun Qianyun's eye sockets pulsated as he drew upon the power of the silhouette of a Hades to strengthen himself. In an instant, his aura skyrocketed as he threw a punch toward Lian Fu, who was flying toward him.
When the two collided, it instantly caused a monstrous energy fluctuation. However, contrary to everyone's expectations, Lian Fu's figure actually trembled as he was sent flying backward while spitting out blood. His aura had completely dissipated.
Xiao Meng furrowed his eyebrows. This was not Lian Fu's strength at all … When he saw that Hun Qianyun was about to kill Lian Fu, he could no longer sit idly by. His pressure spread out as he stepped forward and stopped Hun Qianyun.
Coquettish laughter rang out as the five females from the Joyous Union Sect attacked together. Their target was … Ji Chengxue.
Meanwhile, the experts from the White Bone Palace targeted the eight Battle-Kings that were carrying the coffin.
King Yu's expression changed as he coldly shouted, "You're not allowed to destroy the coffin!"
King Yu's goal was to fight for the throne. After all, Emperor Changfeng was still his father. Destroying the coffin where his father was resting in peace was something he could not do.
However, his shout did not cause the people from the White Bone Palace to stop. This time, his expression completely changed.
"Tsk tsk tsk! Emperor Chang Feng destroyed countless sects and obtained countless spoils of war. Even from afar, I can sense the aura of the Death Soul Hall's semi-divine weapon in this coffin … A semi-divine weapon was buried with him. He is indeed worthy of being an emperor throughout the ages! "
The Bone King from the White Bone Palace sneered as his gaze suddenly turned fierce. The subordinates beside him exploded one after another and turned into ghastly white bones that pieced together with his body, forming a gigantic white skeleton.
Its aura was powerful and it had actually reached the seventh grade.
