At this moment, the imperial palace was holding the morning court assembly. But because of the big event that happened a while ago, the atmosphere was very heavy.
After the demonic beast riot in the northern Jiang City, the Cangyang Kingdom actually didn't have anything else to do. The Cangyang Kingdom was founded on martial arts. There was nothing that couldn't be solved by martial arts. The morning court assembly was just a good tradition that had been passed down for thousands of years. It basically had no practical use.
Because of the Sword Emperor's control, the Cangyang Kingdom sometimes didn't look like a country, but a region ruled by a sect. The Cangyang Kingdom didn't have many laws, it only had the power and rule of the royal family. Of course, in the Dragon Sacrificial Continent, all the countries that were called countries looked more or less the same as the Cangyang Kingdom.
The morning court assembly was the only ceremony that the Cangyang Kingdom had that resembled a country.
At this moment, the other officials casually reported the situation of the various counties. At this time, the Patriarch of the Gongsun Clan walked out of the ranks and said, "Your Majesty, the number of foreigners in the imperial city has increased a lot recently. It hasn't been like this for the past ten years. Because of this, there have been many accidents in the imperial city."
At this moment, the Sword Emperor was sitting on a white jade chair with his eyes closed. He looked like he was asleep. When the Patriarch of the Gongsun Clan spoke, he didn't move at all. After the Patriarch of the Gongsun Clan finished speaking, the Sword Emperor slowly opened his eyes. Two golden rays of light burst out from his eyes.
All the officials quickly lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at the Sword Emperor's eyes.
If Long Chen came here, he would definitely be greatly shocked. This was because the Sword Emperor's eyes weren't as black as they had been that night, but golden. The black-eyed Sword Emperor gave off an incredibly feminine aura, while the Sword Emperor in front of him was domineering, intense, and masculine. His golden eyes seemed to be burning with flames, making it so that no one dared to look at him directly.
In fact, there was a legend among the people of the Cangyang Kingdom. Because the Sword Emperor cultivated an unknown secret technique, his eyes would change color. During the day, they would be golden, and at night, they would be black. In fact, every time night came, his eyes would turn golden.
At this moment, the Sword Emperor's golden eyes swept through the Patriarch of the Gongsun Clan.
Unable to withstand the pressure, the Gongsun Clan Head's body trembled slightly.
"So it's like that … I know what they're here for. They're probably here to watch that young man called Long Chen challenge me." The Sword Emperor spoke word by word. His voice was extremely calm, and it was impossible to tell if he was happy or angry.
"That's indeed the case …" The head of the Gongsun Clan had no choice but to admit that these outsiders were just here to watch the show. How could they possibly miss out on such a top-notch battle?
Then, there was another period of silence.
"How about this …" The Sword Emperor suddenly said, "Gongsun, lead your clansmen and kill all those who are here to watch the show. Pile up their corpses outside the Royal City's gate. I'd like to see who else is here to watch the show."
His tone was very calm, as if he was talking about something insignificant.
Everyone gasped, and even their scalps couldn't help but feel slightly numb. However, this was the Sword Emperor's temper, and they'd become accustomed to it over the years.
"Understood."
The head of the Gongsun Clan received the order and quickly retreated. Once the morning assembly was over, the Royal City would definitely be filled with bloodshed. Everyone's hearts were burning with excitement, and they didn't dare to say anything.
"It's already been two months. When will Long Chen come? I can't wait any longer. Batian, you're the one who brought the news back, so tell me." The Sword Emperor's gaze swept across Lin Batian.
Lin Batian took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. Ever since Lin Zichen's death, the Sword Emperor's temper had been somewhat volatile, and he had already killed many people in this period of time. Therefore, Lin Batian was somewhat afraid of this father of his.
"Back then, Long Chen's strength was only slightly stronger than fourth brother's. He's not a fool, and he knows that father's strength is a hundred times stronger than Long Chen's. If he hasn't improved enough, he probably won't dare to come. Long Chen is probably too confident in himself, and I think he'll only come after reaching the Heavenly Completion Realm. However, it'll take at least a few years for him to reach the Heavenly Completion Realm, so I think he's talking nonsense … Long Chen definitely won't dare to come."
After Lin Batian finished speaking, he took a deep breath.
Previously, he hadn't thought much about what Long Chen had said, and had hurriedly returned to tell the Sword Emperor, which then caused such a huge commotion. However, now that he thought about it, he indeed felt that it wasn't very likely. No matter how heaven-defying Long Chen was, it was impossible for him to be a match for the Sword Emperor. After all, the gap between them was too large.
"The First Imperial Highness is right. I guess that Long Chen is only at the ninth level of the Heavenly River Tier, and his talent should be similar to the Fourth Imperial Highness'. Young people are proud and arrogant, and it's normal for them to talk big. When he comes to his senses, he'll understand exactly how laughable he is. Therefore, I also think that he's just fooling us, and he won't come." At this moment, the Zhou Clan Leader spoke up.
As they spoke, a smile gradually appeared on the Sword Emperor's face. Suddenly, he said in a stern voice, "Bullshit, I know he'll definitely come."
The Sword Emperor's words caused everyone's hearts to tremble, and they sucked in a breath of cold air. In an instant, everyone was as silent as cicadas in winter.
Just as the Sword Emperor finished speaking, someone outside rushed into the throne room, shouting the word "Report". That person hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said agitatedly, "Reporting to Your Imperial Highness, outside the Imperial City … there, that Long Chen and his Demonic Wolf have appeared."
His words instantly caused the entire throne room to tremble. Everyone started discussing, and they looked at each other, their faces filled with disbelief.
"He really came."
Lin Batian was almost scared to death. He had just confidently said that Long Chen definitely wouldn't come, but who would have thought that in less than 15 minutes, Long Chen had already arrived.
"Hey, did you see wrongly? Are you sure it's Long Chen?" Lin Batian calmed himself down, and asked in a cold voice.
"I definitely didn't see wrongly. Over ten thousand people on top of the city walls saw it, and there's also a black Demonic Wolf beside Long Chen. I definitely didn't see wrongly. He's standing outside the Imperial City, and he already said to … to let Your Imperial Highness out …" As he spoke, the person suddenly hesitated.
At this moment, the Sword Emperor's golden eyes looked at him, and he said expressionlessly, "Tell me, what were his original words? He definitely wouldn't let me go so easily. Answer honestly, or else, die."
The Sword Emperor's words shocked the person who reported the news. How could he dare to hide anything? He hurriedly said, "That brat … that brat told Your Imperial Highness to quickly scram and serve him. Your Imperial Highness, this brat is simply too audacious, and he doesn't know the meaning of death. He actually dared to say such disgraceful words, and he deserves to die."
After saying this, everyone's expression changed. They never thought that Long Chen would be so audacious to say such disgraceful words. The Sword Emperor was a high and mighty existence in the Cangyang Kingdom, and he had never been humiliated like this before. But today, a small figure like Long Chen actually told him to scram.
Moreover, Long Chen wanted him to serve him.
This was simply too crazy.
No one dared to look at the Sword Emperor's expression, and they could imagine how ugly the Sword Emperor's expression was at this moment.
"Is that so?" The Sword Emperor lightly laughed. Unexpectedly, he wasn't angry.
"It's finally here, I've been waiting too impatiently."
With a smile on his face, the Sword Emperor stood up. A golden robe was draped over his body, and he took a few steps forward, killing his way down the stairs and walking out of the throne room.
"Everyone, go, don't let our guests wait too long."
The Sword Emperor's footsteps gradually passed by the person who reported the news. When he passed by, he lightly brushed his hand on the shoulder of the person who reported the news. In an instant, the person's eyes widened, and he softly fell to the ground, no longer breathing.
Everyone was stunned.
From this, it could be seen that the Sword Emperor's killing intent was actually very strong. At this moment, the smile on his face was probably condensed from his killing intent. Everyone kept quiet out of fear, and no one pitied the pitiful person. Instead, they walked around him and directly followed the Sword Emperor, trembling as they walked towards the gate of the Imperial City.
"Does this Long Chen really like to fight at the city gates? I heard that when he killed Zi Chen, it was also outside the city gates. How interesting, what an interesting brat. Last time in the Imperial Palace, I actually did not recognize him …" Walking at the very front, Jian Huang's voice gradually spread to his back.
The group of people walked out of the city gate.
Although the Sword Emperor's words were very urgent to fight with Long Chen, his walking speed was relatively slow, as if he was enjoying the process. At this moment, the Imperial City was already in a mess. After hearing the news, more and more people flocked towards the direction of the city gate. The streets were densely packed with people. If it wasn't for someone opening a path for the Sword Emperor, the Sword Emperor would probably have nowhere to go.
The most abnormal dark horse in the history of Cangyang Kingdom against the number one powerhouse of Cangyang Kingdom. No one wouldn't want to see this battle. The city wall of Bi Yang Imperial City was big enough. These people quickly rushed towards the top of the city wall. Even the soldiers couldn't stop so many people. Very soon, the city wall was densely packed with people.
At the back of the crowd, the Sword Emperor led a group of people and slowly walked towards the direction of the city gate. At this moment, only the Sword Emperor was smiling. The other people's expressions were very solemn. In front of the crowd, on the vast plain outside of Bi Yang Imperial City, Long Chen leaned on Xiao Lang with his arms crossed, looking at the direction of the Imperial City calmly.
When he first arrived at Bi Yang Imperial City, it was almost at this position. He even killed a general of the Imperial City's guards here and met the seventh commander.
Time flies. In the blink of an eye, so much time has passed. At that time, Lingxi still had the Profound Sky Jade Lotus, but now, Lingxi's future depended on him, Long Chen, to fight for it one last time.
