Chapter 504: In The Cour (1/2)

t

This wasn’t an imperial court of a mortal kingdom. Each of the officials here was quite powerful with qi images looming above.

Even the civil officials had used spirit medicines. They had a different essential aura compared to everyone else, akin to peaceful immortals.

Above the court was a firmament with white clouds and golden tiles on top of a dragon diagram personally drawn by the emperor. It emitted a terrible yet awe-inspiring prestige.

The three directors and nine ministers were all present. Each of them was still in great spirit; old but not decrepit.

The Grand Tutor, in particular, didn’t wear an official robe but a slightly-red daoist gown with a lotus on it.

Feiyun slightly skirted past him and could sense a massive divine intent surpassing everyone else in the court.

Eight marquises were here with two from his faction, Elephant and Lion Marquises. Battler wasn’t here while the other marquises were camping far away from the capital.

He spotted Princess Luofu among the crowd as well. She dressed in a noble style right now with a long cloth draping over her shoulders. She didn’t have a veil today so her supreme beauty was for all to see.

This was his first time actually seeing her but he could recognize her instantly due to her proud aura. Other women couldn’t compare to this domineering presence at all, not even the officials here.

The third beauty of the dynasty was worthy of her rank. A group of officials were behind her talking; this was her faction.

The Crown Prince, Long Shenya, was walking behind the Grand Chancellor with his own group of officials including marquises and members of the nine ministers. They were quietly discussing something and seemed to be very familiar with each other.

Of course, the court also had neutral members such as the Grand Tutor and Grand Preceptor. Many officials would bow to greet these two.

This was the aura of a superior and combined with their unfathomable cultivation, everyone naturally feared and respected them.

Feiyun glanced around a little bit and got a good idea of the officials here and their chosen factions.

“Your Excellency, the situation isn’t optimistic today.” Elephant Marquis stood behind Feiyun and said.

Feiyun was dressed in his court official today - a golden imperial robe with a majestic crest. He looked quite exceptional and heroic with a smile on his face: “It’s fine, it’s fine, they can’t scare me.”

These officials would steal glances at him occasionally. They clearly were pointing their spear at him- a prelude to the incoming storm.

Elephant and Lion were both top officials under the Divine King Faction. The previous king gave them the order to fully support Feiyun but they felt that he was too young and won’t be able to deal with these old foxes in the court.

Feiyun, on the other hand, remained unperturbed: ‘Politics and power struggle? We’ll just see about that. I won over the seven phoenix queens back then to become the clan master, no need to fear these guys.’

Loud noises came from the outside. Some became surprised after seeing the newcomer - Princess Yue.

In the past, only the Crown Prince and Princess Luofu were allowed to participate in the court, but now Princess Yue was here too?

The significance behind this made others take a deep breath. It looked like the spot of the next successor has a new challenger now.

“Your Wife greets you, Your Excellency.” Long Cangyue performed a feminine court salute at Feiyun.

Princess Luofu and the current Crown Prince also looked over with a cold glint in their eyes.

The Grand Preceptor also slightly opened his eyes for a split second before resting again.

“The Jin Emperor is here!” The eunuch in the palace announced while standing below the main throne before kneeling down.

The court became soundless with everyone becoming solemn. They all kneeled outside of Feng Feiyun and the three directors and shouted: “Greetings, Jin Emperor, may your reign be everlasting.”

Meanwhile, Feiyun stood coolly. The Grand Chancellor stood in the center with the Grand Preceptor and Grand Tutor standing to his sides.

Beiming Moshou slightly glanced at Feiyun with an implicative smile in his eyes.

“Whoosh!” A massive imperial aura descended. The imperial throne erupted with a golden light just like the sun.

Everyone could feel this immense pressure like a meteor crashing down and shuddered uncontrollably. Only the three directors could easily deal with it due to their powerful cultivation.
