Sacred Spirit Palace was ranked first on the Great Powers Ranking while Jin was only ranked second.
Li Xiaonan was the best disciple of Sacred Spirit Palace in this generation. No one was perfect and Li Xiaonan was the closest.
The sky was filled with snow and the music sounded like a song.
The sixteen musical emissaries stepped on the snow. All of them had beautiful figures and only wore a thin layer of clothing. They looked like fairies flying in the sky.
The instruments in their hands were all spirit treasures. Sixteen different instruments interweaved together to form a heavenly melody.
"Whoosh!"
Sixteen sound waves flew out from their fingers at the same time. These were the sound waves emitted by Spirit Tools, and they carried the power of Spirit Tools. They condensed into a bronze bell, a scarlet bell, a flute, a zither, a flute, a harp, and so on.
They all flew towards Feng Feiyun.
This was a group of 16 young overlord level females, and when they attacked at the same time, they cooperated and supported each other. Their combined might was many times more terrifying than the combined might of the 16 overlords of the younger generation, and they formed a musical formation.
Feiyun let go of the old man and stood up. He stepped out of the shabby shed with an aura that soared to the nine firmaments and pierced through the sky.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Feng Feiyun used the Samsara Wheel and moved like a specter. He moved between the instruments and unleashed palm strikes to shatter the sixteen sound waves.
"Heavenly Maiden's Enchantment!"
The sixteen musical emissaries exuded a bone-chilling aura. Their instruments turned into sixteen suns and shot out a white ray at the same time. It condensed into a single point and struck Feng Feiyun's head.
Feng Feiyun stood firmly on the ground and lowered his waist. From the soles of his feet to his thighs, all the way to his spine, the howls of countless beast souls came from his body. Their shadows shrouded his body as he unleashed an unparalleled aura.
"Boom!"
Feng Feiyun formed seals with his hands and struck out sixteen huge palm prints in a row. The sixteen music messengers were sent flying backward and landed on the roofs of the surrounding halls. They were still holding onto their instruments, and their foreheads were covered in sweat.
There was actually someone who could break their Enchantment Formation. The prodigies of the Divine Capital were too powerful, far beyond their estimation.
Feng Feiyun withdrew his violent aura and shouted: "Hey, you people from Sacred Spirit Palace are unreasonable?"
The Crimson Bell Musician, Meng Wanwan, stepped on top of the willow tree and spoke with a voice as clear as a nightingale: "Sacred Spirit Palace deals with injustice. Your cultivation is so strong, yet you eat without paying and beat old people. This is injustice, so of course we have to teach you a lesson."
"What's the point of talking so much to a good-for-nothing like him?
We'll use the Minor Heavenly Music Formation to suppress him then take him back to Sacred Spirit Palace. "
The Heavenly Zither Messenger, Qin Xiaoyao, stood on top of a glazed hall with his zither in his arms while looking down at Feng Feiyun.
"Which one of your eyes saw me hit an old man?
Geezer, tell me, did I hit you or not? "
Feng Feiyun turned around and found that the old man was nowhere to be seen.
Even the wok on top of the stove was gone.
Earlier, when Feng Feiyun was fighting the sixteen music messengers, the old man ran away with the wok on his head. Who knows which alley he was hiding in right now?
"Shit!
He's running so fast! "
Feng Feiyun angrily said before adding: "I still have something to do today, so I won't play with you guys anymore. Bye!"
Feng Feiyun stomped on his Samsara Fist, wanting to fly away. However, the people from Sacred Spirit Palace didn't want to let him go. The four sword maids attacked at the same time. The sword energies condensed into a crane, a heavenly dragon, a fire bird, and a flying serpent.
The four young kings had peerless sword techniques with flawless coordination.
They unleashed more than ten thousand sword energies in a row that covered the heaven and earth. A suffocating aura rushed towards Feng Feiyun.
"Boom!"
Feng Feiyun flew in the sky and laughed. Forty blinding rays shot out from his eyes and condensed into the Heaven Punishing Hammer.
The gigantic hammer, several hundred meters long, came crashing down from the sky and destroyed all the sword energies. The four sword maids retreated at the same time. The light on their swords dimmed a lot as they violently vibrated and issued clanking noises.
"Ladies, no need to see me off." Feng Feiyun rode the wind. His voice was ethereal as he traveled several hundred miles away.
Li Xiaonan was sitting in the tattered shed where Feng Feiyun just left. His robe was as white as snow and his posture was as elegant as an immortal.
"Greetings, Young Noble. The opponent's cultivation is great, he must be a historical genius. We can't take him down."
The four sword maids and sixteen musical emissaries stood in the snow and bowed to Li Xiaonan inside the broken shack.
Li Xiaonan smiled and said: "It's not your fault. If the current Young Divine King was taken down by you guys, then he wouldn't be a Young Divine King."
"So he's the third ranker of the lower list, Feng Feiyun. No wonder why he's so strong." One of the sword maids said in surprise.
Xiaonan nodded: "Tonight, the prettiest in the world, Nangong Hongyan, has invited all the heroes in the world to gather at Supreme Beauty Pavilion. I've also received an invitation. I've long heard of her musical prowess. Tonight, I'll go meet her and discuss music with her. It'll be a great experience."
"Young Noble's music is unparalleled in this world, even the prettiest in the world might not be able to catch up."
Feng Feiyun landed on another street. Li Xiaonan from Sacred Spirit Palace was here so he must be going to Supreme Beauty Pavilion tonight. Sacred Spirit Palace was very talented in music. Even Dongfang Jingyue was a disciple from there. This Li Xiaonan must be an extraordinary character.
"If I don't go to Supreme Beauty Pavilion tonight, he'll steal all the limelight."
Feng Feiyun suddenly stopped. However, after some thought, he realized that going to Supreme Beauty Pavilion wouldn't be of much use because he was tone deaf. How could he compete with the number one scholar in the world?
"Do I have to ask that damned grandma Dongfang Jingyue for support?"
Feng Feiyun immediately dispelled this thought. Jingyue came from Sacred Spirit Palace so she must know Li Xiaonan. They were martial brothers, why would she help him against Li Xiaonan?
"It'd be great if Xiaoxiang didn't leave. With her musical skills, she'll definitely crush Li Xiaonan. Maestro Ye isn't just for show, even Nangong Hongyan and Jingyue are a bit weaker than her."
Xiaoxiang's innocent appearance suddenly appeared in Feiyun's mind. He shook his head. She was already gone, what's the point of thinking about her?
"If words don't work, then I'll have to use force?"
Feng Feiyun felt a sense of danger. It wasn't that Feng Feiyun had no confidence in Nangong Hongyan. To be more precise, any man who saw a more talented man approaching the woman they liked would feel a sense of danger.
It was still early in the morning, so there was still some time before nightfall. This gave Feng Feiyun a lot of free time.
"Clatter, clatter!"
A golden carriage stopped in front of Feng Feiyun.
An old eunuch came down and stopped in front of Feng Feiyun. He respectfully bowed with a smile: "Consort Ji invites Divine King to the palace for a chat."
Ji Lingxuan was quite resourceful to be able to find him like this.
Feng Feiyun had a headache dealing with Ji Lingxuan. He coughed twice and said: "Eunuch, go back and tell Consort Ji that I have an important matter to attend to today. I will definitely come to the palace to pay my respects to her in the future."
The eunuch's voice was sharp. His wrinkled eyes narrowed into slits: "The Consort said that she has an important matter to discuss with you. It concerns the fate of the entire dynasty. If you don't come to the palace, then the Consort can only wait for you at the Southern Sky Temple's Sandalwood Courtyard."
Feng Feiyun's expression changed. He rubbed his forehead and smiled: "There is no reason for me to refuse the Consort's invitation. I will go back to the Divine King's mansion and change my clothes, then I will follow you to the palace."
"Divine King, there is no need to go back to the mansion. The royal robe is already prepared in the carriage." The eunuch kindly smiled.
"So they came prepared!"
Feng Feiyun sighed in disappointment. He climbed up the ladder and boarded the luxurious carriage. He lifted the curtain and entered.
Under normal circumstances, outside officials couldn't enter the imperial palace without an edict from the Jin Emperor. Of course, they couldn't enter the imperial harem.
However, Feng Feiyun was the current Divine King with an extraordinary status. He could be considered a member of the royal clan so he could come and go as he pleased. Moreover, he was engaged to Princess Yue. Consort Ji was the birth mother of the princess, so it was reasonable for her to invite her daughter's groom into the palace. No one could say anything about it.
Though Feng Feiyun had been to the imperial city before, this was his first time entering the imperial palace.
It was located in the depths of the imperial city.
Feng Feiyun wore a royal robe with a crown on his head. He had a dignified appearance as he followed the old eunuch into the imperial palace. They passed through the imperial garden filled with countless spirit flowers and entered the harem.
The Jin Emperor had tens of thousands of imperial concubines. Each of them had their own palace. It was as if they had entered a huge maze. Ordinary Heaven's Mandate cultivators would get lost in the formations in the harem without a guide.
"The Jin Emperor lives in the main palace at the front. Ever since the astronomical phenomenon of 'Dragons devouring the sky, Supreme protects the heart' appeared, the Jin Emperor rarely enters the harem. He spends most of his time in seclusion."
The old eunuch led the way while the powerful eunuchs and maids all bowed to Feng Feiyun.
Suddenly, Feng Feiyun's eyes narrowed as he looked down at a palace. He saw several eunuchs playing with a five-year-old princess. One of them caught Feng Feiyun's attention.
'Damn, who else could it be other than Ningshuai?'
This "third hand" was wearing a eunuch uniform and a green eunuch hat. He suddenly looked up and met Feng Feiyun's eyes. He was startled.
Feng Feiyun was shocked. This guy actually snuck into the harem. Could it be that he already knew that Xie Honglian would castrate him, so he castrated himself in advance and entered the imperial palace for a better future?
