Chapter 263: Audience with the Emperor Translator: _Dark_Angel_ Editor: Kurisu

From start to finish, the Rain Emperor did not even show his face, yet his domineering att.i.tude was enrooted deep into everyone’s hearts. Even such powerful elites like Fu Yuan Sheng and the Clan Head of the Liu Clan felt a deep-set reverence and did not have the slightest intention of resistance.

This was a real ruler. Once the order was given, it would be strictly enforced. All of them were his subjects under his imperial graciousness.

Ling Han’s eyes were turned towards the far-off Imperial Palace, however, as his divine sense had managed to identify that the Rain Emperor’s voice had actually originated from there.

If anyone else found out, they would definitely grab their heads and exclaim in shock, how could this be possible?

There was a distance of at least ten miles, so how could sound be transmitted so quickly and so clearly here? Moreover, there was still a punch from the Son of Heaven Fist Technique that actually punched an elite of Spiritual Pedestal Tier unconscious!

This was practically like a myth; that was too powerful, wasn’t it?

‘Spiritual Pedestal Tier would definitely not have such power!’ Ling Han mused internally. ‘Could it be that the Rain Emperor has already broken through to the Flower Blossoming Tier?’ Though there was only one tier between the Spiritual Pedestal Tier and the Flower Blossoming Tier, the taking of this step was like the gulf between heaven and earth. The Spiritual Pedestal Tier was still considered mortal, whereas the Flower Blossoming Tier would be stepping into the ranks of G.o.ds!

Only one in the Flower Blossoming Tier would be able to transmit sound over ten miles as if they were right on the scene. With a single thought, his fist intent had reached its target, and easily suppressed an opponent of the Spiritual Pedestal Tier.

‘That’s not right!’ Ling Han frowned slightly. He had somewhat captured a sliver of the Rain Emperor’s divine sense, and it should not have reached the Flower Blossoming Tier yet, so this was indeed very strange.

“Ling Han, I shall allow you to continue living for ten days. After ten days, I will personally take your life!” Feng Yan laughed coldly and grabbed Qiu Ku in a single move. He leaped up, and very quickly disappeared from sight.

No one dared to stop him, even if he had killed so many just moments ago.

“Ling Han…” The Seventh Imperial Prince approached, his face filled with delight. He had made the right bet on the Rain Emperor’s personality. This ruler of a nation was a domineering man, so how could he be able to tolerate the Winter Moon Sect undermining of his authority on his own territory? He would definitely return a powerful counter-attack.

However, even he had not foreseen that the Rain Emperor’s att.i.tude would be as forceful as this, so much that he had directly thrashed Qiu Ku unconscious.

No matter what, he had taken the right step, so he would have definitely gained a considerable favor of the Rain Emperor, so he was one step closer to the imperial throne.

“My Imperial Father summoned you, so you had better make a move on,” he said, all smiles. The Rain Emperor very rarely deigned to see anyone on an one-to-one basis. Previously, merely Can Ye and Zhao Huan had obtained such an honor. Even them, the Imperial Princes, very rarely gained the opportunity to see the Rain Emperor alone.

Ling Han nodded at him. A friend in need was a friend indeed. In comparison, the performance of the Eldest and the Third Imperial Prince were far below standard. He glanced at Liu Yu Tong. His little female attendant was naturally being supported by the clansmen of the Liu Clan. He considered it for a moment, but did not go over to say anything, primarily because he was displeased with the Liu Clan.

The Rain Emperor had clearly expressed his att.i.tude. Moreover, he had delivered a fist straight on the heads of the Liu Clan, obviously expressing his displeasure towards the Liu Clan. Ling Han believed that the Liu Clan would not dare to continue to have secret dealings with Feng Yan.

“Young Master Han!” The Eldest and the Third Imperial Princes simultaneously approached, a fake smile on their faces while their hearts were ill at ease.

They were practically ready to die of regret. No matter how much they had calculated, they had not foreseen the fact that the Rain Emperor would actually make such a domineering move! They witnessed the way Feng Yan had paraded around so arrogantly before, but did not see any kind of reaction from the Imperial Family, and thought it would be the same this time. They had not thought that there would be any kind of unexpected accident today.

If they had known beforehand, they would have put their firm support behind Ling Han. They would then be able to have a deeper relation with the latter, and would also be able to obtain the Rain Emperor’s favor. And now, great, they had offended both sides!

Ling Han merely smiled calmly, and said, “I have to meet His Imperial Majesty, so I don’t have the time to converse with Your Imperial Highnesses!” After saying so, he flung his arms and stalked off.

The eyes of the Eldest and the Third Imperial Princes were simultaneously filled with anger. He was a mere humble commoner, and yet he actually dared to show his displeasure in the face of two such Imperial Princes as them. But now was not the time to make a fuss over this. The Seventh Imperial Prince had suddenly acted, and was now ahead of them in the race for the imperial throne.

In view of the imperial throne, whatever else could be set aside.

The two of them exchanged a look and smiled at the same time—their Seventh Younger Brother’s limelight was too bright, so they had to suppress him a bit to ensure that all three of them would once again return to the same starting line.

Ling Han gave a nod to Guang Yuan and the rest, and also signalled for Guang Yuan and Zhu Wu Jiu to bring Hu Niu and return first. He, meanwhile, strode towards the Imperial Palace. The distance of about ten miles was only the matter of a dozen minutes for someone in the Gus.h.i.+ng Spring Tier, so he was very soon standing in front of the Imperial Palace.
