Chapter 508 National Advisor (1/2)

The white cloud dispersed. Shen Lian bowed slightly, considering that they have met.

Emperor Xia said coldly: ”Since you have come, do not leave then?”

Shen Lian smiled slightly: ”I could still leave.”

Emperor Xia waved his hand, in an instant, armors as dense as the forest has assembled outside the hall. A divine dragon swirled above the palace, its faint roar could be heard. The growlings of strange beasts of all kinds could be heard, one after another. Even the clan leader from major tribes was seen releasing their qi dynamic, awaiting.

Emperor Xia sneered and said: ”How would you leave this way?”

There were tens of thousands of elites from Xia Clan that have had the main hall surrounded from the outside. Gradually advancing level by level, their Qi of Vigour filled the atmosphere. Any supernatural Dao techniques cast in this environment would be greatly reduced in effect.

Not to mention the place where Emperor Xia stood, that in itself was an insurmountably high mountain. His cold face was full of callous intent, releasing his qi dynamic and holding Shen Lian down with it.

Shen Lian casually uttered: ”the dense bamboo forest could not hinder the flowing river, nor could the high mountain obstruct the passing clouds.”

Emperor Xia laughed hysterically, and said: ”I am like the burning sun, even if you are the flowing river or the white cloud, you will eventually dry out or dissipate.”

Shen Lian whispered: ”I'm afraid that Your Majesty's glare was insufficient to dry out the flowing river that I am. As for clouds, it would be unusual for clouds to gather in the first place.”

Emperor Xia narrowed his eyes, his radiance seemingly flickering. The entire earth began to tremble. The microdust in the air was rotating at exceedingly high speed.

At this moment, Xia Canal suddenly stopped, and the spiritual vigor of entire Diqiu went towards Xia Tai. Everyone felt a chill and an invisible sharpness in their heart.

The sharpness was like a sword's will, it was also like an indispensable rule.

Shen Lian remained where he stood. He was obviously there, but Emperor Xia's pounding Qi dynamic and the invisible sharpness seemed to have nothing to do with him. It was as if he has detached from the world.

Lei Jing subconsciously leaned towards Shen Lian, and the closer she leans, the smaller the pressure was.

She thought in her heart: ”Even if the heavens had fallen, mister would be here.”

Emperor Xia grunted coldly.

Suddenly, the tremors of the earth stopped, and the spiritual planes that converged on Xia Tai began to be bound by an immense force, subsequently retreated like the receding tides.

He kept the coldness displayed on his face. He quietly looked at Shen Lian, and said: ”Da Xia lacks a national advisor.”

He said nothing more, but everyone knew what Emperor Xia meant. The usually arbitrary emperor had actually compromised and decided to invite Shen Lian as Da Xia's national advisor. This was an unprecedented scenario.

Even more so, they understood that Emperor Xia's compromise was not something achievable by relying on Shen Lian's ability alone, but also on Tianyi's. To think that the sword's will would be able to drive the geographical spiritual vigor of Diqiu. How terrifying Tianyi's cultivation experience was.

To have another person as strong as Tianyi in the hall, was the truly terrifying part.

For a while, Shen Lian remained in silence. He then leisurely said: ”I think I might be competent.”

”I see that you truly would be able to qualify for the position of the national advisor.” Emperor Xia said softly.

Shen Lian smiled and nodded without saying anything.

Emperor Xia said: ”someone provides a seat for the national advisor.”

As a result, Shen Lian sat in the lower right of where Emperor Xia was sitting, not far from the throne.

Emperor Xia seemed to have asked unintentionally: ”National advisor, what is your Daoist name?”

Shen Lian said softly: ”Your majesty can call me Qing Xuan.”
