28 Chapter 27 - The Fall of The Azure Emperor (1/2)
Awakening from meditation, Dana knew it was time to meet the nobles at the agreed place for their gathering before leaving towards the Azure Emperor Palace.Old Man Zhao will already be waiting for her there as he will be at the meeting he arranged with the Azure Emperor and the Houtian subordinates to stall them until Dana arrives, how he was going to do that is from the gist of the situation Old Man Zhao will just be speaking a load of gibberish to keep them occupied, which from her personal experience he has exceptional talent in.
Seeing as everything is put in place, Dana leaves towards the location where the nobles will be awaiting her. As soon as Dana appears, she saw Kaiden alongside the Lords she met earlier alongside a few men she didn't recognize. However, Dana was already informed that there were a few noble families which joined after witnessing Dana's strength as they affirmed she got the means to defeat the Azure Emperor. Of course, these noble families were checked by a reliable source whether they had a truly good reputation beforehand, Dana wouldn't just allow any noble family to intrude in the new leading faction of the Azure Empire. This also further demonstrated the Azure Emperor's ”talent” in seemingly attracting enemies. Dana soon noticed Kaiden had an incredibly nervous look as he approached her, is he afraid of me? Hmm. Am I truly that scary? He just doesn't recognize true cuteness!
”Dana you're here!... We are all fully prepared to go to the Azure Emperors Palace... We were just waiting for your arrival!” Kaiden repetitively stutters seemingly afraid of the consequences of Dana knowing the rumour.
”Kaiden why are you so nervous? Am I that terrifying? You know I have planned on being completely merciful towards you, but you are acting like I am going to beat you up because of a mere rumour!” Dana righteously exclaimed, completely forgetting that she was thinking of ”beating up” Kaiden until decisively changing her mind. Not that Kaiden worries are unfounded, as Dana didn't just get the reputation of being a ”She-Devil” just for the incident involving Kaiden as he personally witnessed her beating up nobles which flirted with her, also many incidents similar repetitively happened around the academy in which were only not discovered as firstly the nobles were too embarrassed to admit they got beaten up by a girl and lastly Dana was the Headmasters disciple thus nobody truly wanted to mess with Dana with her having this sort of background! So it is no wonder Kaiden has an instinctive fear of Dana after witnessing her exploits.
Kaiden upon hearing her words straightened up whilst trying to project his ”manliest” look, ”Alright Dana!” Kaiden exclaimed after that Kaiden went on a long speech towards the nobles about ”Taking his responsibility as new Emperor” and the many misdeeds which the Azure Emperor did whilst Dana was pacing back and forth irritated that Kaiden went from being a nervous wreck to a blabbermouth that won't shut up.
Until Dana couldn't take it anymore and loudly interrupted, ”Alright everyone, follow my lead to the Azure Emperor. We need to make haste before Old Man Zhao bores them to death!” hurriedly stated Dana, as she stormed to the front of the group, the nobles following behind her obediently. Kaiden tagged along dejectedly due to his speech being interrupted by Dana, however, he soon cheered up at the thought of Dana beating up the Azure Emperor.
As Dana lead the group towards the Azure Palace, many civilians were shocked upon seeing such a large group of powerful nobles, it caused many to instinctively believe that a great change was going to happen to the Azure Empire. However, this thought was soon scoffed at due to the propaganda over the years the Azure Emperor was an invincible god in their eyes, possessing unparalleled cultivation and power, someone forcing this man to abdicate was simply a preposterous thought they believed.
They soon arrived in front of the Azure Emperor's palace, the guards at the gate upon seeing such apowerful large group of nobles were greatly surprised. However, this soon turned into a weird look as there weren't any nobles expected to see the Azure Emperor today, so they must have come uninvited. One of the guards stood in front of the entrance, blocking the route in which the group was coming in.
”The Azure Emperor wasn't informed prior notice to you coming to meet him! Only those which have an arranged meeting cleared by the Azure Emperor himself are allowed entrance! Turn back where you came from!” Loudly shouted the guard with an arrogant look, giving absolutely no face to these nobles, as he was a guard of the Azure Emperor, he didn't put any noble family which didn't have a Houtian Cultivator in his eyes.
However, surprisingly the group didn't turn around as he anticipated and they kept moving forward at the same pace rapidly heading towards his location. Haven't they heard what he said, are they not afraid of causing the Azure Emperor's displeasure?
But, before the guard could continue to speak, the leading individual of the group which was Dana already arrived before him. Without even being able to react Dana already flung the guard with so much force he was knocked unconscious.
Oops. It seems like I am unaware of my own strength again, after all my body is still extremely strong in human form.
Seeing the sight in front of them the nobles had terrified looks, thinking that they will never mess with this woman! The only one among them which wasn't surprised at all was Kaiden who was aware of Dana's antics, in fact, Kaiden even gave a look saying ”I told you so” to some of the nobles which had a mocking expression when he had an anxious appearance because of Dana.
This scene continuously appeared throughout Azure Emperor's Palace as every guard before they even have the time to react were thrown like rag dolls by Dana, under the watchful gazes of the nobles which gave a sympathetic look at the guards as they were thrown all over the place.
Soon enough they arrived outside the meeting area where meeting with the sound of Old Man Zhao's voice rambling about nonsense, in fact, Dana had only been listening for a minute and she already felt she was going to fall asleep.
Without being polite Dana smashed through the door entering the room, inside the room, she saw Old Man Zhao alongside next to him being two middle-aged men, which were Rank Four Houtian Cultivators and at the very end of the room on a majestic throne was the Azure Empire himself. Looking at the Azure Emperor's appearance, he was a Handsome middle-aged man, which was releasing an intimidating aura.
”So you are the Azure Emperor, I've been looking for you.” Dana's voice sounded, stunning the individuals present. Apart from Old Man Zhao, the other three including the Azure Emperor looked upon her appearance with clear lust in their eyes.
