Chapter 1606: Imperial Court
After about two hours, Tang Huan and the nine spirits finally stopped in their tracks.
At this time, a vast courtyard appeared in front of them, known as the "Emperor's Courtyard of the East". This place was the residence of the princes and their followers.
The following "Royal Spirit Ceremony" would also be held here.
At the entrance of the Imperial Courtyard, there were four guards, all of whom were Death Spirits of the 16th step. From time to time, figures would enter and exit the gate, and all those who entered the Imperial Courtyard would have to show their tokens.
"Hu!"
With a thought from the nine spirits, a small black jade tablet appeared in his palm. On the jade tablet, there seemed to be a faint blood-red pattern.
Then, the nine spirits threw the jade tablet to one of the Death Spirit Guards.
After the Death Spirit Guard received it, a ball of blood-red light immediately rose up and condensed into the three characters "96" in the air.
"Greetings, Ninety-sixth Prince!"
The guards immediately bowed and respectfully returned the jade tablet to the nine spirits. In the air, the blood-red rune immediately vanished into thin air.
Nine Spirits nodded slightly and said in a crisp voice, "They are all my servants."
"Yes."
One of the Death Spirit Guards nodded, then he stretched out his hand and grabbed, causing ten black jade tokens to appear in his hand. They were around a finger long and three fingers wide. Unlike the jade token of the nine spirits, these jade tokens all contained a blood-colored ring. "With this, Your Highness's servants can freely enter and exit the Imperial Courtyard!"
Jiu Ling nodded lightly and took the ten jade tablets.
"Keep it well!"
The nine spirits casually threw it backwards and continued forward. Just as she finished speaking, the jade tablets appeared in front of Tang Huan and the other nine Death Spirits of the fifteenth step.
After passing through the gate, a wide avenue that was hundreds of meters wide extended straight ahead.
On both sides of the avenue, there were many halls of various shapes, but all of them were extremely large. On the side of the entrance to each building, there was a number engraved.
The halls that corresponded to their respective rankings were the residences of the princes.
At this moment, many of the palaces had already been occupied by princes. Within the palace, the figure of the undead could be faintly seen.
If his judgement was not wrong, then a small portion of the undead spirits in the surrounding palaces were already extremely shocking. Some of them should have already reached the twenty-first step, or even surpassed the twenty-first step.
On the side of the human cultivators, a twenty-first stage death spirit was already equivalent to a tenth stage Heaven stage like Du Yue.
A Death Spirit that surpassed the twenty-first step was like a Sky Marquis expert above the Sky Realm. A Death Spirit with this level of strength obviously couldn't be a servant. It could only be a prince.
By the time of the "Royal Spirit Ceremony", there would be as many as a hundred princes living in the "Emperor's Courtyard of the East Underworld". Although the strength of the nine spirits was not bad and she had already lived for countless years, she had not been undergoing heavenly tribulation for too long. Compared to these princes, there was still a huge gap.
Tang Huan paid attention to the numbers of the palaces where the undead experts were.
That undead whose cultivation might have already surpassed the twenty-first step actually lived in the fifth hall. This meant that he was ranked fifth amongst the hundred princes.
Fortunately, the nine spirits participating in the "Royal Spirit Ceremony" this time did not need to set a high goal. They only needed to enter the top ninety and ensure that they would not be eliminated.
While they were sighing with emotion, Tang Huan and the nine spirits had already found hall number 96.
"Tsk tsk, isn't this the Nine Spirit Your Highness? You came to Dongming City so late? I've been waiting for you in this' Emperor's Courtyard 'for a long time. "
Right at this moment, a sinister voice sounded out. In front of the hall at the side, a figure suddenly appeared. It was the Yin Zhu who had been humiliated by the nine spirits half a year ago. At this moment, he was sizing up the nine spirits with a fake smile. His long and narrow eyes flickered with a cold light.
"Oh? Then it must have been hard on you!
"When the nine spirits heard this, they curled their lips and slapped their heads. They asked doubtfully," Oh right, laozi remembers that you seem to be called lust? "Lecherous snake?"
"I am a candle!"
The Yin Candle's face couldn't help but twitch twice as a black aura flashed between his brows.
Of course he could tell that Nine Spirits had purposely used the word "perverted snake" to address him, but he couldn't help but correct her. However, his tone became even more gloomy.
"Yes, Yin Candle!"
Jiu Ling nodded with a look of understanding.
Then, she said in all seriousness, "Last time, you ran to my 'Consonance Palace' without my permission, causing me to rebuild the 'Consonance Palace' once, spending countless time and energy. Now that we've met, let's talk about it properly, how do you plan to compensate me?"
"Compensation?"
When the Yin Candle heard this, he was stunned. Before this, he had thought of many possibilities, but he never thought that Jiu Ling would say such a thing.
"That's right, the reconstruction of my 'Consonance Palace' was completely caused by you. Don't tell me you shouldn't compensate me?"
Nine Spirits stared at the candle confidently, their expressions extremely unfriendly. "What, are you planning to go back on your word? Lecherous snake, laozi's debt is not so easily reneged! "
"You …"
The Yin Candle was so angry that his face turned ashen. He instantly gritted his teeth and stared at Nine Spirits with a venomous gaze that was as cold as a venomous snake. "Nine Spirits, you want compensation? "This is simply …"
"Simply what?"
However, before the Yin Candle could finish speaking, an exceptionally rough voice rang out, "Jiu Ling, did I hear wrongly? This little snake wants to go back on his word?"
When the voice first rang out, it seemed to be thousands of meters away. However, when he said the last word, it was like a thunderclap that rumbled back and forth in his ears, as if it could even pierce through his eardrums. Immediately after, an extremely sturdy figure appeared.
It was a sturdy man who was nearly ten meters tall, and his entire body was covered in "chi".
Luo ", with only a black hide wrapped round his waist.
The burly man's eyes were like lanterns, suffused with a faint blood-red light. His bald head had two ox horn-like objects, and his skin had a bronze-like luster. The muscles all over his body bulged, as if they contained an explosive power that could erupt like a volcano at any time.
On the shoulders of this burly man, there was a thick long staff.
It was unknown what material the long rod was made of, but it was as thick as a bowl and twenty to thirty meters long. The body of the rod was as black as ink, and strands of black Qi lingered around the long rod. Although he did not activate it, a terrifying aura faintly seeped out from the rod, causing one's heart to palpitate.
"Kui Cow!"
