”We pay respects to the Emperor!”
Every single one of them that kneeled down called out and greeted the Emperor simultaneously with the utmost reverence and respect used in their tone.
Just what kind of existence is the Emperor?
One had to know that majority of the mere commoners would never be able to set their sights upon the shadow of the Emperor in their whole lifetime, much less the Emperor's face.
Even for the cultivators themselves, they would only be able to catch a glimpse of the silhouette of the Emperor from afar at best during rare moments, such as new year eves, where the Emperor would have to make an annual grand public speech from the Royal palace's balcony.
After all, the Emperor was a figure equal to the heaven of the Jiu Empire itself!
Thus, not just anyone could have the chance for a proper audience with such a holy-like existence!
The fact that Duan Li and his party had managed to see the Emperor up-close and personal like this was a very rare thing that could never happen to someone of their low status before.
The Emperor, Jiu Xian Ping, had obvious wrinkles on his face due to his old age, but rather than making it look like he was some fragile elderly man, those wrinkles instead had accentuated his legitimacy as an Emperor with a boundless amount of wisdom over time, experiencing behind him the many intricacies and countless vissicitudes of life both tangible and intangible!
His white hair and long thin beards, possesses a natural radiance of dominance, that when one look at him, would instinctively reverre to give him the utmost amount of respect he deserves!
His pair of sharp brows, shaped like the most powerful sabers in the world, would instantly shroud those who looked at him with the feeling of trepidation and anxiousness in their hearts!
Those pair of piercing eyes of his, appearing both mysterious and enchanting at the same time, were as if able to peer and discern through every lies and truths in the world!
The golden silk robes that was donned onto his majestic figure, embroidered with the depiction of a single, coiling dragon that inter-weaved through the clouds, was a symbolic of his undisputable authority that encompassed the whole Jiu Empire in its entirety!
And finally, that inviolable aura he exuded, mighty and indefensible, would gave the citizens of the Jiu Empire the feeling of being in a safe haven, secured and shielded from any sorts of danger, while the enemies would soil their pants and cower in fear!
”Liu Sheng Juan, I never thought that you would bring forth to me such a number of people this time around.. this had me truly intrigued with today's agenda..” said the Emperor as he sat casually on his throne, with one arm supporting his chin from the armrest.
”I was actually planning to just bring along this kid here, but the Principal of the academy here, insisted that I brought all of them along to you.” Liu Sheng Juan replied.
Shiingg!
A blade was unsheathed in an instant as a tall man donned in full black armor with golden cloak behind him appeared right in front of Liu Sheng Juan, pointing the tip of the blade towards the latter's neck!
”To address the Emperor so casually, do you want to die right now?”
This was from the figure beside the Emperor, and from his voice, appeared to be the one that had deployed the immense amount of pressure onto Duan Li and his party previously for making inappropriate movements!
The full black armor he was wearing was similar in design to the golden armor that the Titled-Knights were donning, but other than the different color theme, the armor itself had intricate symmetrical patterns all around it. Furthermore, the cloak that he wore was golden in color instead of red, with the symbol of the Jiu Empire on it.
Because his face was covered with a helmet, like all the other Knights as well, his facial appearance could not be seen at all.
”To point your blade right in front of my neck, not to mention that it would not be able to do a single thing to harm even a hair of mine, had already showcased that you are nothing but a barbaric savage, all brawns and no brains, isn't that right, oh Supreme Knight, Fei Jin Fang?” Liu Sheng Juan answered with a tone full of sarcasm.
When Duan Li and his party heard this, they were rattled once more!
To think that they could feast their eyes upon the highest ranked Knights, whom sits at the very top of of them all, the Supreme Knight, Fei Jin Fang here, they must have been blessed with great fortune today!
But it was only logical that the Supreme Knight would be here, after all, he was the one and only personal body guard of the Emperor himself!
”Indeed. Let us kill each other and get this over with.” Fei Jin Fang replied as he snorted and then tightened his grip on his sword.
”Fine by me.” Liu Sheng Juan said with a disdainful sneer.
Right before they were about to unleash their might, a sudden ominous feeling had the both of them retreating backwards instinctively, creating a distance away from each other as their backs were drenched in sweat!
Huuu!
This feeling!
