Chapter 1317
Words:1718Update:22/06/29 08:36:11
An empire was very different from a sect. A sect could be controlled by many large family clans, but in an empire, it was typically controlled by a royal family.
Warriors had relatively long lifespans. Any warrior with a lifespan of a million years could produce a massive family clan if he wished to. Therefore, the number of members of the Outcloud Empire's royal family was rather astounding.
With a large number, it also meant brutal competition.
Anyone who could obtain a noble title in the Outcloud Empire was not to be underestimated. Furthermore, King Yi's noble title was that of a prince!
Even Cloud Pool City was King Yi's fief. He was definitely an important figure at the Heavenly South Peaks Meet.
"That must be King Yi," someone said.
Everyone saw a middle-aged man. Behind him were two teams of awe-inspiring golden-armored soldiers. These golden-armored soldiers held long dagger-axes and looked extremely mighty.
"It's the Golden Armored Guards!" someone said.
The Golden Armored Guards were the Outcloud Empire's elites. They were under the direct jurisdiction of the Outcloud Empire's emperor, but they were under the command of the various princes.
To an expert at King Yi's level, there was naturally no need for the Golden Armored Guards to protect his personal safety. Having the Golden Armored Guards follow him was just a symbol of his status.
The middle-aged man was dressed in a four-clawed dragon robe. He landed on the mountain peak with the Golden Armored Guards following him. He was extremely tall and his long beard reached his chest. His hands were like palm-leaf fans.
Beside the middle-aged man was a woman dressed in a red palatial gown. She looked to be in her twenties and was as pretty as a flower. She was alluring and at that moment, she was leaning into the middle-aged man's embrace. Clearly, she was his female companion.
Despite facing so many experts, the middle-aged man had no intention of avoiding them. He wrapped his arms around the woman's slender waist as though no one else was around.
The crowd did not mind this at all as they went forward to greet him.
"I come from the West Sea's Gourd Island. I am the current Island Lord of Gourd Island. Greetings King Yi! King Yi's name has long resounded in the ears. It's my honor to meet you today! "
"I'm Qian Leizi. Greetings King Yi. It has been ten thousand years since we last met. Now that we meet again, King Yi is still as glorious as ever."
…
Everyone praised the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man nodded and unhurriedly told everyone to dispense with the formalities. This scene caused many of the juniors to be overwhelmed with emotion.
King Yi was truly a noble among nobles. The people who paid their respects to him were all figures who could awe a region. But in front of these people, King Yi continued hugging a beauty and calmly accepted the bows of the crowd.
This kind of bearing caused the younger generation to inevitably think, 'How good would it be if I could become such a person in the future'.
"So this old man is Princess Redjoy's father. He sure isn't young."
Yi Yun looked at King Yi from afar as he stroked his chin. Although the old fellow looked middle-aged, Yi Yun could sense an ancient aura from him. His vital potential had long been expended, and it was even more obvious when compared to the girl beside him who exuded infinite youthfulness.
The old man was probably one foot in the grave. It was unexpected that he could still give birth to Princess Redjoy under such circumstances. As for the concubines beside him, they were probably not much younger than Princess Redjoy.
Just as Yi Yun was pondering over the matter, he saw a group of people fly down from King Yi's imperial chariot.
The man and woman leading them were especially eye-catching. The woman was dressed in red and she was no doubt Princess Redjoy.
As for the man, he was dressed in a purple python robe and had a golden crown on his head. He was of noble descent and had an extraordinary bearing!
"It's Princess Redjoy and Prince Boundless Heaven!"
Someone said.
Prince Boundless Heaven was the great-great-grandson of the current Outcloud Divine Emperor. In fact, seniority was meaningless to the royal family. All that mattered was talent. Only those with great talent could be called princes. If not, they would only be eliminated. The royal descendants with poor talent had lives even more tragic than ordinary warriors.
Prince Boundless Heaven was one of the cream of the crop among the princes. The current Outcloud Divine Emperor had yet to appoint a crown prince. Although Prince Boundless Heaven was young, he was one of the strong contenders for the crown prince's position.
"I never expected Prince Boundless Heaven to ride King Yi's imperial chariot and come with Princess Redjoy. Previously, there were rumors that Prince Boundless Heaven and Princess Redjoy could be married in the future. From the looks of it, it's really possible."
Some of the meddlesome young geniuses immediately began chatting and laughing.
In order to vie for the crown prince position, the princes would naturally seek out allies. King Yi was no doubt a powerful ally. If they could establish ties with King Yi through Princess Redjoy, Prince Boundless Heaven would take a huge step closer to becoming crown prince.
Under such circumstances, Prince Boundless Heaven was naturally a popular figure at the auction. No one was willing to offend a person who could possibly become crown prince in the future.
Instantly, everyone went forward to befriend and bow.
Yi Yun was watching from afar when he suddenly sensed an unfriendly gaze.
He traced the gaze and discovered that Princess Redjoy had discovered him in the crowd. The smile on her face immediately froze.
Over the past few days, although the Brightheart Veranda had been sealed, Princess Redjoy did not feel happy at all. Ordinary warriors did not know that the Love Seeking Phoenix In Clouds had been infused with the essence of ancient Fey feces. However, it had slowly spread throughout the upper echelons of society. As the advocate of the Brightheart Veranda's dishes, Princess Redjoy's awkward situation was obvious.
In addition, she would frequently recall the countless ancient Fey feces essence that had flowed through her stomach. It made her want to vomit whenever she saw spirit food. She had not eaten in days.
Now, she had met a fellow like Yi Yun at an auction. It was obvious how upset she was.
"Redjoy, who are you looking at?" Prince Boundless Heaven traced Redjoy's gaze and saw Yi Yun. He had heard of Yi Yun as well. He was a young alchemist and the description of his appearance resembled the youth in front of him. It immediately made Prince Boundless Heaven make the connection.
"Is he the one you were talking about?" asked Prince Boundless Heaven.
Princess Redjoy did not say a word as a form of tacit agreement.
Prince Boundless Heaven's eyes shimmered as he looked at Yi Yun. He knew what had happened. Not only had Yi Yun exposed the Brightheart Veranda, he had also mocked Princess Redjoy during the process. He had deliberately set up a trap to embarrass Redjoy. This was something Prince Boundless Heaven could not tolerate. After all, Redjoy was likely to become his woman in the future. How could he allow his woman to be humiliated by another man?
"Redjoy, don't take the Love Seeking Phoenix In Clouds to heart. Be it the mortal world or the warrior world, there will always be some filthy things that can be used as medicine. So what if you eat it?"
Princess Redjoy did not say a word. She naturally knew what was on Prince Boundless Heaven's mind. She did not have a good or bad impression of him. She had no choice but to be with Prince Boundless Heaven because of her father's wishes.
