Chapter 2021. Suddenly Looking Back! (2/2)
That level of character was not qualified to make him do that. At that moment, Wang Lin even had the crazed thought of killing that person and killing everyone here.
“What is the reason? Why would I become like this upon arriving at the Ancient Dao palace…”Wang Lin closed his eyes and cycled his cultivation. His mind slowly calmed down, but he became even more gloomy.
“Something is not right. Could it be that the palace activated some restrictions to affect me like this? However, looking around, no restrictions seem to be activated…”Wang Lin opened his eyes and silently sat there.
“And this crazed feeling transformed from the unease. I vaguely felt it a few days ago, and now it’s even more intense.
“It feels as if something of great importance to me is going to happen… It seems like it will be a big event in my life… Even when I faced countless life and death situations, I never felt like this…”Wang Lin couldn’t help but frown.
“I can’t stay at the Ancient Dao palace for long…”Wang Lin’s eyes lit up and he made up his mind. At this moment, the ninth drum beat gradually faded away.
When the drum beat disappeared, everyone in the square and on the flying platforms suddenly quiet down. Everyone subconsciously stopped talking and their gazes gathered on the main hall!
“The Emperor arrives!!” A sharp and shrill voice came from the hall. It carried a powerful penetrating force. Then the closed door opened.
As the door was pushed open, all the gazes gathered on the hall, at the man sitting on a dragon throne.
This man was wearing a royal robe and an emperor crown. He gave off a powerful pressure without revealing any anger. It was the Ancient Dao Emperor!!
“We all greet the Emperor!!” On the square and platforms, everyone, including the 18 kings, all bowed at the Ancient Dao Emperor!
Non-Ancient Dao members didn’t have to kneel, but all Ancient Dao members had to get down on one knee. Wang Lin stood up, and after silently pondering for a bit, he bowed but didn’t kneel!
Although his expression looked normal, that crazed feeling of slaughter washed over his mind like a raging wave. He almost could not suppress it.
This feeling became extremely violent the moment the Ancient Dao Emperor appeared!!
“Everyone, this is a joyous matter for me. Let us celebrate with this banquet, and all of you drink with me!” The Ancient Dao Emperor smiled, but when his gaze swept past Wang Lin, his heart was unhappy and gloomy. However, his expression remained the same and he even smiled at Wang Lin as if he was concerned.
“I’m very happy that all these friends could come to my Ancient Dao. Today, I won’t say much. Let me raise a cup to all the friends that came!” The Ancient Dao Emperor raised his right hand and a shadow appeared to hand him a cup of wine.
At the same time, everyone on the square and platforms picked up the wine on their tables. They all respectfully held up their cups of wine.
Wang Lin silently let out a sigh and picked up the wine cup. He intended to hand over his teacher’s gift after this cup and then leave. The irritation in his heart had caused his face to turn slightly pale.
The Ancient Dao Emperor smiled and took a sip. Everyone else drank afterward as a congratulations. Wang Lin didn’t drink but put his cup down with everyone else and was about to speak.
“Aside from this joyous event, I also want to announce another matter. Some of you may have heard that Grand Empyrean Xuan Luo’s disciple, the celestial clan’s White-Haired Ascendant Empyrean, will be the guardian of my Ancient Dao!
“Wang Lin, come up and listen to the edict!” The Ancient Dao emperor smiled.
Wang Lin silently walked forward a few steps and clasped his hands once more.
“Still not kneeling?”The Ancient Dao Emperor’s expression was heavy. He didn’t speak but calmly looked at Wang Lin.
After a long time, everyone noticed that abnormality, and their gazes gathered on Wang Lin.
Among the many gazes, one came from the Prince Ji Du. He suppressed the excitement in his heart. He was waiting for the day that Wang Lin would be pushed out of the Ancient Dao!
“Emperor, I came to send a congratulatory gift on behave of Teacher. I still have important matters to deal with, so I’ll take my leave.” Wang Lin no longer had any patience as he was extremely irritated right now, and he coldly looked at the Emperor. He didn’t know why, but when he saw this person again, he felt an unspeakable sense of killing intent and disgust!
He waved his sleeve and took out the box Xuan Luo had given him. He threw it forward and it was caught by a shadow that had appeared before the Ancient Dao Emperor. The shadow respectfully handed it to the Ancient Dao Emperor.
“Wang Lin, I declare you as my Ancient Dao’s guardian! Since you have some important matters to attend to, then you can leave. I hope you can come to the grand ceremony tomorrow.” The Ancient Dao Emperor looked at Wang Lin profoundly and smiled. He seemed to not care about what had happened and no longer looked at Wang Lin.
Then the Ancient Dao Emperor said, “Invite the Empress!”
The irritation in Wang Lin’s heart became even stronger and he turned to leave. But then the sounds of bells echoed in his ears and fused with the feeling in his heart. This made the irritation in his heart suddenly disappear without a trace.
Wang Lin was startled and looked back. He saw a woman wearing a phoenix robe walk out of the hall and make her way toward the Ancient Dao Emperor.
