One year ago, Kong Lanyou had crushed the G.o.dly statue of the empress in Ziwei Palace.
Now, the statue had been erected again, and it was giving off seven-colored G.o.dly light that permeated the entire Central Empire City.
As long as the empress was alive, and the statue remained intact, the G.o.dly power could s.h.i.+ne upon the heaven and earth.
Saint Palace Yuanchu was closest to the G.o.dly statue, which filled the place with G.o.dly Qi, making it the best place to refine in all of Kunlun’s Field, and monks could also comprehend the way of G.o.ds.
Huang Yanchen sat in Saint Palace Yuanchu, receiving the Saint Lady.
After reading the signal flare, Huang Yanchen was rendered speechless. After a while, she said, “Master told me that Qiu Yu is the greatest hope for Kunlun’s Field before she left, as he might become the new spiritual root. The imperial government must give him the best a.s.sistance we can.”
“That’s right,” the Saint Lady said.
Huang Yanchen said, “You’re the most intelligent woman in the world. What do you think I should do?”
The Saint Lady said, “It’s all up to you, heir.”
Huang Yanchen frowned, and she looked a bit bitter.
Huang Yanchen knew for sure that the Saint Lady was a close female confidant of Zhang Ruochen, and she was still a bit mad at her because she stabbed Zhang Ruochen’s heart with her sword.
Which was why the Saint Lady asked her to decide on such a difficult issue.
Huang Yanchen pursed her lips and sighed. “If you were me, what would you do?”
The Saint Lady shook her head without saying anything.
“Battle Heavenly King, Lingxiao Heavenly King, and Southern Region King are all very close with Qiu Yu, and they married their kids to the fire race. They have a very tight bond now. If I don’t try and stop them, they’ll definitely help Qiu Yu and the fire race suppress Zhang Ruochen. However… Should I follow the G.o.dly order of my master, or should I help him…”
Huang Yanchen seemed to be talking to herself, but she wanted to ask the Saint Lady as well.
The Saint Lady still remained quiet.
At this moment, a fiery saint shadow of a phoenix flew into the palace, forming the body of Martial Saint Canglan. She was wearing crimson saint armor, and the wings on her back looked like two fiery clouds.
“Your highness, the fire race and Moon Wors.h.i.+p Demonic Sect sent us two signal flares, inviting you to attend the wedding in Peakless Mountain on the seventh day of next month. You’ll receive an official invitation soon.”
Martial Saint Canglan gave two signal flares to Huang Yanchen.
Huang Yanchen became stiffer after seeing the two signal flares. She said, “It isn’t my wedding, yet they pushed me to the front. Oh, Ouyang Huan… Oh, Qiu Yu… They’re trying to use me to deal with Zhang Ruochen. Perhaps many prominent beings in the imperial government also received the invitations to see how I’m going to confront Zhang Ruochen. You two also think they’re trying to put on a show, right?”
The Saint Lady and Martial Saint Canglan gave each other a look. They both shook their heads and said, “If you don’t want to go, n.o.body can force you.”
Huang Yanchen stood up, and a sense of ferocity emanated from her.
Saint Lady and Martial Saint Canglan were both dazed. They seemed to see Empress Chi Yao in Huang Yanchen. It had nothing to do with her cultivation, but her look.
…
Sacred City in Central Region.
Sacred City used to be the empire city of Sacred Central Empire where there were great talents and spiritual meridians. Even though the empire had already fallen, the city was still bustling, and there were traces of saint Qi surging to the sky.
In the western suburb of Sacred City was the grave of the royalty.
Zhang Ruochen went to Sacred City after leaving the headquarters of the demonic sect. He entered the grave and performed a memorial ritual for his mother.
The leader of Phoenix Dance Palace, Granny Bai Su, and most beautiful woman of Sacred City, Qin Yutong, were both standing behind Zhang Ruochen. They were also kneeling in front of the tombstone.
Granny Bai Su was a maidservant following Zhang Ruochen, and now, he was working for the twelfth brother of Emperor Ming, ‘Lord Mingjiang.’ Her cultivation was strong enough to make her the leader of Phoenix Dance Palace.
After the memorial, Granny Bai Su said, “Your highness, I need to go visit twelfth uncle. Can you make an arrangement?”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to meet Lord Mingjiang because it wasn’t time, but now, he had to meet his twelfth uncle.
“Sure. I’ll go notify Lord Twelve and tell him to come to Sacred City.”
Granny Bai Su and Qin Yutong left the royal grave.
Zhang Ruochen looked in the direction of the grave and said, “Come out.”
An elder walked out of the s.p.a.ce in the next moment, took a bow to Zhang Ruochen and said, “Your highness, I’m Zhao Fu, one of the thirty-six heavenly kings from Guarding Dragon Pavilion.”
Zhao Fu followed the order of the leader of Guarding Dragon Pavilion to guard the royal grave of Sacred Central Empire. Zhang Ruochen and Kong Lanyou had seen him here before.
