Hand over the position of Monarch to me
Thump!
Wu Teng was angered once more as his heart thumped wildly, yet he didn't continue speaking as he was deeply afraid of being angered to death by Chu Xingyun.
After the commotion, the entire pavilion suddenly quieted down. Everyone had different expressions on their faces. They could faintly feel that a chaotic atmosphere was pervading the entire space.
"The Monarch has arrived!"
Right when the atmosphere of the entire scene was slightly frozen, a loud shout sounded out from outside the pavilion.
Everyone looked over and within their field of vision, the Flowing Cloud Monarch, Tang Zheng, slowly walked towards the pavilion, and behind him was a refined young man in a violet gold robe.
This young man had a handsome appearance and a handsome face. Every single move he made actually carried the aura of a superior. His gaze swept through the entire scene without the slightest feeling of being a yes-man, and his expression was especially calm.
"Third Prince Tang Yue?" Chu Xingyun similarly stared at the young man as he muttered in a low voice.
This young man was shockingly Tang Yue.
At that time, for the sake of gathering the materials to forge the Skysplit Sword, Chu Xingyun had once used the method of guiding spirit energy to help Tang Yue mend his meridians, allowing him to live on and cultivate peacefully.
Since that incident, Chu Xingyun hadn't heard any news about Tang Yue. Unexpectedly, when he saw Tang Yue again this time, the latter's cultivation had already stepped into the 4th level of the Earthly Spirit Realm, and his entire body was coiled with dense baleful Yin energy.
Right when Chu Xingyun was pondering, his gaze moved over and he noticed that Tang Yue had already walked before him. Tang Yue raised his hands and bowed slightly. "I've heard of Guild Leader Chu's reputation since long ago. Now that I've met you today, you really do deserve your reputation. After the banquet ends, I wonder if Guild Leader Chu can have a drink with me to thank you for saving my life that day."
As he spoke, Tang Yue stared at Chu Xingyun, and there wasn't the slightest trace of arrogance on his face. Instead, there was a forthright and admiring expression that caused Chu Xingyun to feel extremely comfortable.
With such natural talent and such disposition, no wonder this Third Prince was appointed as the Crown Prince. Chu Xingyun thought to himself. He cupped his fists and replied, "If there is a chance, I will definitely accompany you."
The corners of Tang Yue's mouth curled into a faint smile. Then he got up and quickly walked back to Tang Zheng's side.
When everyone saw this scene, their expressions changed.
In their view, the Driftcloud Imperial Family and Chu Xingyun, one was in politics and the other was in business. There was not much interaction between them, let alone a relationship. However, it seemed that Chu Xingyun had once done the Driftcloud Imperial Family a favor.
"Could it be that the Driftcloud Imperial Family has joined forces with the Soaring Cloud Merchant Guild?"
This thought suddenly appeared in the minds of the leaders of the various forces. They could not help but look at Wu Teng, only to find that Wu Teng did not even look at them. He was still staring coldly at Chu Xingyun.
Tang Zheng walked to the center and saw everyone. He frowned and coldly said to Wu Teng, "The banquet has already begun. Why haven't I seen Wu Jing Xue?"
"My father is in charge of millions of soldiers. He is very busy. It is normal for him to be late. You can just wait here." Wu Teng glanced at Tang Zheng and immediately looked away. He was a little impatient.
"Wait?" Tang Zheng's expression froze and his body emitted a sullen aura.
One must know that he was the Driftcloud Emperor, the most powerful person in the Liuyun Dynasty. This place was the palace, his residence. No matter who came, they had to listen to his orders.
However, Wu Jing Xue did not arrive on time. He even asked Wu Teng to pass on a message for everyone to wait here and respectfully welcome his arrival. This was looking down on the Driftcloud Imperial Family and everyone else.
"You have yet to arrive, but your aura is already so arrogant. Does your Wu Clan really think you can cover the sky with one hand?!" Tang Zheng coldly snorted. Golden light immediately blossomed from his eyes as he looked at Wu Teng.
Whoosh!
Behind him, the image of a flying shuttle appeared. The shuttle was like a sharp blade, emitting tens of thousands of rays of golden light. It was as if the entire space had become sharp, and there was a faint sound of air being torn apart.
"I never thought that Tang Zheng had hidden himself so deeply. His cultivation has actually reached the 3rd layer of the Heavenly Spirit Realm." Lin Tianchong chuckled. Tang Zheng's body was emitting a dense Yang aura. It was obvious that he had already reached the Heavenly Spirit Realm.
The sound of air being torn apart became clearer and clearer. Under everyone's gaze, the entire pavilion began to shake. It was as if a mountain-like aura was about to descend and completely suppress Wu Teng.
This banquet was a gathering of the most powerful people in the Imperial City. It was extremely important, but Wu Jing Xue had not arrived. He wanted to embarrass the Driftcloud Imperial Family. As the Driftcloud Emperor, how could Tang Zheng endure this? He wanted to use Wu Teng as an example to prove his might.
However, before that aura could touch Wu Teng, a strange gale suddenly swept in from outside the pavilion. It broke open the door and collided with that aura, completely annihilating it.
Patter! Patter!
After this gale, a series of footsteps resounded, echoing in the silent pavilion. It was extremely clear.
Outside the attic, a figure slowly walked out from the darkness.
That figure was a middle-aged man. His hair was tied up with a golden crown, and his body was covered in pitch-black armor. On his back, there was a halberd. The tip of the halberd was scarlet red, as if it had been soaked in blood. Under the gentle moonlight, it looked extremely terrifying.
"Ever since the Tang Family took control of the Liuyun Dynasty, the situation of the Imperial Family has been deteriorating. Now, it has fallen to the bottom. Your Tang Family is so useless, yet you still dare to speak so arrogantly. The word 'arrogant' is probably more appropriate to describe you."
The middle-aged man laughed. His words were like thunder, exploding in everyone's ears.
At this moment, everyone felt dizzy, as if there was an endless army rushing towards them. The wind was bleak, and the killing intent soared. It was as if they were in a bloody battlefield, and their hearts were filled with a sense of insignificance.
"You're finally here!"
Chu Xingyun did not fall into this feeling. His pitch-black eyes fell directly on the middle-aged man. His heart trembled, and a sense of hatred slowly flowed out.
In the entire Liuyun Dynasty, the only person who could emit such a vast killing intent was Wu Jing Xue!
Buzz!
The golden shuttle trembled violently, and the golden light flowed like a stream, completely dispersing the killing intent. Tang Zheng took two steps forward and looked straight at Wu Jing Xue. He angrily said, "My Tang Family is useless. Wu Jing Xue, what do you mean by that?"
Hearing Tang Zheng's question, Wu Jing Xue did not reply. Instead, he laughed even more wildly and domineeringly.
After a while, his eyes swept over and looked down at Tang Zheng. He said arrogantly, "The reason is simple. You, Tang Zheng, are the king of Liuyun. It's fine if your strength is inferior to mine, but you can't even manage the Imperial Family well. The sixty-four cities of Liuyun are filled with grievances, especially the border cities. They are often bullied by other kingdoms.
"If it weren't for me guarding the border and sweeping out the kingdoms, the Liuyun Dynasty would have been blown to pieces long ago!"
