"Hmm, truly spectacular. This is your Biyun Immortal Palace? It's quite the imposing sight!"
"When I'm rich, I'll build one like this on the coast too. It'd be so comfortable to just laze around in it."
"Kid, if you like it so much, why not stay? This Biyun Immortal Palace is yours."
"Are you trying to keep me?"
"If you want to look at it that way. How about it? If you agree to stay, I'll change into black and white stockings for you every night. What do you say? Tempted?"
"Get out of here. What do you take me for? Don't even think about corrupting my noble soul with sweet talk. Tell me, what old cadre can resist such a temptation?"
As he said this, Shen Zhao couldn't help but pinch his nose, fearing a nosebleed would embarrass him.
At the same time, he thought to himself: This woman is truly a demon. If I'm not careful, I'll be ruined and drained dry, and when she gets tired of me, I'll be turned into a furnace and thrown into a pigsty. I'm not that stupid.
With wings spread, the Golden-Winged Peng descended in a dive. When it was less than a hundred feet from the ground, Shen Zhao and Mu Qiuyao jumped off the Peng's back, one after the other, and landed steadily at the ceremony site.
"Shen Zhao!"
The familiar figure was within reach, and Yu Xiyan was overjoyed.
There were rumors that Shen Zhao was dead, although she didn't believe it. But until she saw Shen Zhao, her heart was always filled with fear.
Now that she saw Shen Zhao safe and sound, her heart finally relaxed.
"Master Shen, you're really alive! I told you! You have a tough fate, you wouldn't die even if the sky fell!
It's all good now, I've been waiting for you!
"Master Shen is here! The heavens are clear! Master Shen is here! The world will be at peace! Oh my god, hahaha..."
Ding Buer almost wailed, loudly expressing his emotions.
"Brother, can you give us a heads-up next time before you try to act cool? Suddenly appearing from mid-air like that gave me no time to prepare."
Though Liang Hao's words were harsh, tears streamed down his face.
He was absolutely convinced that Shen Zhao was his sworn brother!
"Amitabha, benefactor, can you please hurry up and make your entrance next time? This little monk is timid and can't handle such intense stimulation. Look at me now, my legs are freaking jelly!"
Fahai was full of grievances at the moment, but he was genuinely happy for Shen Zhao's arrival.
Feng Xiunian and He Yishou didn't say anything, but simply waved to Shen Zhao.
They were the same; they didn't believe Shen Zhao was dead.
"Elder Shen has really come! Looks like we've got this in the bag!"
"This kind of opportunity is rare, we brothers need to seize it!"
Hu Guangshan and Zhang Danfeng glanced at each other, then decisively tore off their disguises and jumped out.
In contrast, the expressions of Ning Ruoxue's faction were extremely ugly.
Especially Lin Feng, at the moment he saw Shen Zhao, a fear that originated from the depths of his soul instantly permeated every cell in his body.
Memories of his past life involuntarily surged into his mind, all scenes of Shen Zhao tormenting him.
Why, he's not dead! Why, why doesn't he die! If he doesn't die, what am I supposed to do? God, are you toying with me!
Lin Feng gritted his teeth, his heart filled with resentment, and the veins on his clenched fists bulged.
Ning Ruoxue was also greatly surprised. Shen Zhao's appearance had completely disrupted her and Lin Feng's plan, and the situation was very likely to be reversed.
The battle at the Heavenly Jue Holy Land, Shen Zhao's duel with Mu Qiuyao, was known throughout the world.
She couldn't possibly be unaware of how terrifying Shen Zhao's strength was.
However, with so many experts from the Biyun Immortal Palace standing on her side now, and six Quasi-Emperor guardians, they might still be able to suppress Shen Zhao.
At this moment, Shen Zhao spoke: "Usually, seeing me show up means it's time to end this farce.
What I mean is, let's skip the plot and go straight to the ending. What do you all think of my suggestion?"
Ning Ruoxue suddenly woke up and mustered her courage, shouting, "Shen Zhao, you killed the Immortal Dynasty's Former Emperor and still dare to provoke the Biyun Immortal Palace openly? You truly don't know what's good for you. But since you're here, then pay with your life for my master!"
Shen Zhao immediately perked up, a grin spreading across his face. "If I'm not mistaken, you're absolutely furious right now.
After all, my appearance means your little play is doomed! As for your master, where did you even get a master?
And how can you be so sure your master is dead? Everything needs proof, or else you're openly challenging the Public Arbitration Council's bottom line."
Ning Ruoxue said, "I ascended the Imperial Throne for the sake of peace in the Northern Region, and I swore before my ascension that if I were to meet you and you weren't dead, I would avenge my master!"
Lin Feng also said, "Shen Zhao, surrender! The Profound Heaven Immortal Dynasty has been thrown into turmoil because of you. Please, voluntarily submit to the law and accept the celestial punishment, giving justice to all the states of the Northern Region!"
"Heh, the two of you are quite the act,
but you've forgotten one thing. Even if I really did kill Mu Qiuyao, the two of you, with your combined strength, are nothing more than ants, not even worth a five! What could you possibly do to me?
But don't worry, now is not the time for me to act. There's an acquaintance who wants to have a little chat with you."
Then he looked at Lin Feng: "As for you, we should settle our accounts later. I hope you are prepared."
Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat when he met Shen Zhao's mocking gaze, and a strong sense of unease inexplicably swirled in his mind.
Shen Zhao didn't even consider Lin Feng to be worth his attention. Today, he would make this guy embarrass himself in front of the whole world.
He would definitely make this trash break down!
Lin Feng suppressed the unease in his heart, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, and then he raised his hand: "Come, take him down!"
"Wait!"
Shen Zhao suddenly spoke to stop them.
"What, are you scared?"
"Before you take any action against me, I have a question. Who's really in charge of the Profound Heaven Immortal Dynasty?"
"Naturally, it's Her Majesty the Female Emperor!"
"Good!"
Shen Zhao clapped his hands, then said to Mu Qiuyao, who was hidden behind him, "Now it's your turn. I'll go rest for a bit!"
With that, he stepped aside and sat down on Xu Ning's back, who was just about to get up. He leisurely took down his wine gourd, ready to watch the show.
Mu Qiuyao removed the hat from her head, revealing her stunning beauty, and looked at Ning Ruoxue, who was sitting on the Imperial Throne, and asked, "You are the Female Emperor, then who am I?"
"S-Senior… Senior…"
Ning Ruoxue was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat after seeing Mu Qiuyao's true appearance.
The words were spoken, and the entire hall was stunned.
Everyone's attention had been focused on Shen Zhao, and they'd overlooked the woman beside him.
"What? She's the Profound Heaven Female Emperor? No wonder her presence is so imposing!"
"God, in my lifetime, I actually have the chance to see the true face of the Profound Heaven Female Emperor. I could die happy!"
"She's so beautiful, it's heartbreaking. I can't even control myself."
"Hey you, you better not have any improper thoughts about the Profound Heaven Female Emperor, or I'll be the first to cut ties with you!"
These were all Mu Qiuyao's die-hard fans.
"Are you guys missing the point?"
"That's right, didn't Ning Ruoxue announce to the public that the Profound Heaven Female Emperor was killed by Shen Zhao? Then why is she here now?"
"Good heavens, no way! Ning Ruoxue is the Profound Heaven Female Emperor's beloved disciple. Does she dare to usurp the throne?"
"This woman's schemes are so vicious. How pitiful that the Female Emperor cultivated her so carefully!"
"In other words, the so-called death of the Female Emperor was just a play directed and performed by Ning Ruoxue to seize the Imperial Throne of the Profound Heaven Immortal Dynasty?"
"How terrifying! No wonder she announced so high-profile just two months after the Female Emperor disappeared that she would inherit the throne. How did she dare to think of it, and dare to do it?"
"She even spread rumors to slander the Female Emperor. Truly a viper's heart!"
These were Mu Qiuyao's rational fans.
Mu Qiuyao's appearance directly shattered those rumors.
Just as Ning Ruoxue was terrified and about to kneel to beg for forgiveness, Lin Feng suddenly spoke, "Bold! What scoundrel dares to impersonate the late Immortal Dynasty's Former Emperor!"
Mu Qiuyao's eyes turned cold, her icy gaze fixed on Lin Feng, and a sharp killing intent emerged.
"What do you mean?"
"The Profound Heaven Female Emperor passed away two months ago. How could you possibly be her? Are you colluding with Shen Zhao to sabotage the new emperor's enthronement ceremony?"
At this moment, Lin Feng had to insist that Mu Qiuyao was a fake, that the real Mu Qiuyao had already died.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to leave Biyun Immortal Palace alive today.
No matter what, Mu Qiuyao had to be dead; only then could he turn the situation around.
Lin Feng wasn't confident enough to do what he did in his previous life, to directly sleep with this untouchable beauty, because time simply wouldn't allow it!
Moreover, there's Shen Zhao, that incredibly unstable and terrifying individual.
"Oh? I'm dead? Heh heh..."
Mu Qiuyao chuckled softly, no longer concealing the killing intent radiating from her.
Lin Feng could only steel himself and say, "Regardless of your intentions, today is the new emperor's enthronement ceremony, and I will not allow anyone to disrupt it!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Danfeng was immediately speechless: "I've really seen it all. There are different levels of shamelessness. A perfectly fine person is standing right in front of him, and he still claims he's dead. Where does he get such audacity?"
Hu Guangshan said, "This guy probably knows he won't live through today. He wants to put on a show in front of everyone before he dies, so the world remembers his ugly face."
"So, he's that pathetic?"
"There are so many pathetic people. Do you remember the scene at the noodle shop last time?"
"Damn, he wants to make a name for himself in history at the cost of his life? That guy's a real hardass!"
Shen Zhao calmly said, "Let's sit back and watch the storm unfold!"
As soon as he spoke, Xu Ning, who was beneath him, let out a strong protest, "Big brother, can you get off first? My back's about to break from you sitting on it."
Mu Qiuyao closed her phoenix-like eyes slightly. After a brief silence, she pointed directly at Ning Ruoxue, "Rebellious disciple, are you going to step down from the Imperial Throne yourself, or do you want me to pull you down personally?"
"I..."
Ning Ruoxue was already completely bewildered, with nothing but endless fear in her heart.
Just as she was about to stand up, Lin Feng, who was beside her, stopped her, "Your Majesty, you are the new Emperor of the Immortal Dynasty. She is the one impersonating your master!"
Meeting Lin Feng's determined gaze, a mark on Ning Ruoxue's brow flashed, and then she nodded resolutely.
"That's right, although you do resemble my master, you are indeed not my master!" Ning Ruoxue's tone gradually turned cold. "Today is My coronation ceremony, and I will not allow anyone to come and disrupt it!"
Mu Qiuyao's heart sank, and her last bit of hope for Ning Ruoxue vanished.
"I didn't expect that after five hundred years of nurturing, I would raise such an ungrateful wretch!
So be it, since that's the case, our teacher-student relationship ends here. This way, I can kill you without any worries!"
Ning Ruoxue: "Still spreading your deceptive words! My master is long gone, what face do you have to say such things?"
"Hehe, Ning Ruoxue, I ask you, what qualifications do you have to take over the Profound Heaven Female Emperor's position?"
"Naturally, it's because of the people's wishes. Do you see the people here to congratulate Me? I am the Son of Heaven!"
"Hahaha, Ning Ruoxue, I really didn't expect your ambition to be so great. According to the Immortal Dynasty's laws, the Emperor rules the three thousand prefectures of the Northern Region, and the Imperial Seal is required as proof. Where is your Imperial Seal?"
"The Imperial Seal is here!"
Ning Ruoxue proudly produced the Immortal Dynasty's Imperial Seal, holding it high above her head.
"I am the master of the Northern Region!"
Watching Ning Ruoxue's descent into madness, Mu Qiuyao simply shook her head calmly.
Then, she directly struck out with a palm, and the Imperial Seal in Ning Ruoxue's hand shattered in response!
"You!"
"Bold demoness, how dare you destroy the Immortal Dynasty's Imperial Seal? Someone, take her down!"
However, no one around dared to step forward.
Everyone wasn't stupid. If the woman in front of them was really Mu Qiuyao, wouldn't that be courting death?
Lin Feng was furious. "What? You won't even listen to Her Majesty's words? Why aren't you taking her down?"
Mu Qiuyao sneered. "Don't waste your efforts. The Imperial Seal in Ning Ruoxue's hands is a fake, because the real Immortal Dynasty's Imperial Seal could never be broken so easily!"
"What did you say!"
Lin Feng's pupils contracted. Only then did he remember something, and a look of panic immediately flashed across his face.
At that moment, thunder rumbled in the sky.
"Who dares to cause trouble in Biyun Immortal Palace?"
"Anyone who obstructs the new Emperor's ascension to the throne will be executed!"
As soon as the words fell, six figures, each radiating a powerful aura, descended from mid-air.
These were the six guardians of the Profound Heaven Immortal Dynasty, all Quasi-Emperors.
