Chapter 539
“Didn’t this drum sound attract all the experts in the city?
This old fellow is playing tricks on me. Forget it, if all the experts in the city come, then so be it … ”
When Xiao Chen heard the first huge drum sound, he felt that something was wrong. When he heard the tenth super huge drum sound, he completely understood where the problem was. Such a huge drum sound could even wake up the dead, let alone those experts with extraordinary hearing.
The meeting with the king could have been done in a low-key manner, but now that the drums had sounded, many experts in the Fire Spirit City would be alerted, especially those in the royal palace. There was no doubt that this would happen.
As expected!
“Xiu Xiu Xiu!”
When the first drum sound rang, the entire palace was instantly alarmed!
Countless imperial guards quickly dressed themselves to the teeth and rushed out of their residences with solemn expressions.
All the experts of the Imperial Palace opened their eyes and stopped cultivating. They leaped up and dashed out of the training ground, heading for the main hall.
“Drum sound?”
In the Yangxin Palace in the deepest part of the palace, an old man in his fifties with a square face, big ears, thick brows, and big eyes sat up from a super huge dragon bed. The appearance of this old man in his fifties gave people a feeling of power without being angry. It was obvious that he was an important person who had been in a high position for a long time.
“Your Majesty, what happened?
This concubine is so scared … “A beautiful and enchanting voice followed the old man’s voice. Then, a beautiful and enchanting woman climbed up from the bed and clung onto the old man’s naked upper body like a water snake.
Heavens!
This beautiful and enchanting woman was actually naked!
It was obvious that this couple had just done something very pleasurable and intimate on this super huge and elastic dragon bed.
The beautiful and enchanting woman called the old man in his fifties “Your Majesty”. The identity of the old man in his fifties was obvious —
The current king of the Qilin Kingdom, Ouyang Tiande!
Ouyang Tiande felt the softness and heat of the beautiful and enchanting woman’s perfect body. He closed his eyes in comfort and an intoxicated expression appeared on his face. After a moment, he suddenly opened his eyes. His originally slightly turbid eyes burst with brilliance, but after a moment, the brilliance disappeared. Those who didn’t know would think that he was a licentious and incapable ruler.
“My beloved, wait for I to come back.”
Ouyang Tiande said gently. He quickly stood up and jumped off the dragon bed. He shouted towards the outer room, “Guards!
Get dressed for This King! ”
“Good luck, Your Majesty!”
Two pretty maids quickly walked into Ouyang Tiande’s bedroom. They first bowed to the naked Ouyang Tiande, then quickly helped Ouyang Tiande put on his underwear and a golden dragon robe.
Clothes make the man. Ouyang Tiande was originally a little short and chubby. Now that he was wearing a purple-bordered golden dragon robe, he looked a little more like a king.
Creak!
The doors of the Yangxin Palace were opened by two little eunuchs. The neatly dressed Ouyang Tiande strode out and saw three middle-aged men in black kneeling on the ground. Just by looking at their imposing manner, one could tell that they were three super strong experts.
When the three super strong experts heard the footsteps of Ouyang Tiande walking out, they didn’t raise their heads and respectfully said, “Your subordinates pay their respects to Your Majesty!”
“Get up. Follow I to the Supreme Harmony Palace.” Ouyang Tiande said lightly and began to walk towards the Supreme Harmony Palace, which was also the so-called main palace.
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
The three super strong experts respectfully responded and quickly stood up. The three of them lined up and followed five feet behind Ouyang Tiande. It was obvious that these three super strong experts were Ouyang Tiande’s personal guards.
When almost all the experts in the palace rushed to the Supreme Harmony Palace, countless experts in the Fire Spirit City also moved. Among them were the Sun Clan’s Patriarch, Wang Clan’s Patriarch, and Li Clan’s Patriarch, who were the other three Imperial Advisors of the Qilin Kingdom. They originally wanted to wait and see, but when they heard the drumming, they couldn’t remain calm anymore. They all rode their spiritual beasts and rushed to the palace.
For a moment, a storm was brewing in the Fire Spirit City!
After the drumming was completed, Cao Yao hung the drumstick back to its original place and turned to the two imperial guards in front of the Supreme Harmony Palace. He solemnly said, “Open the door!”
“Clang!
Clang!
Clang … ”
The huge bronze door of the Supreme Harmony Palace was pushed open by the two imperial guards with a loud noise. It was obvious that the bronze door was very heavy.
“Light the fire and light the lamps!” Cao Yao issued a second order.
This time, six imperial guards ran in. Since it was night time, they naturally went in to light the oil lamps. They did all of this to prepare for the arrival of the Qilin Kingdom’s King, Ouyang Tiande. Otherwise, if Ouyang Tiande came and waited outside the dark hall, wouldn’t it be a joke?
After a short while, the originally dark Supreme Harmony Palace was brightly lit as if it was daytime. It was obvious that the lighting facilities inside were in place.
When Zhao Kuo saw the lights, he slightly turned his head to look at Xiao Chen at the back of the group and said indifferently, “Xiao Chen, don’t you want to see His Majesty the King?
Go in with this Imperial Advisor!
I hope you will abide by the agreement. As long as you see His Majesty the King, you will let my grandson go. Otherwise … hmph! ”
“Imperial Advisor Zhao, don’t talk nonsense. I, Xiao Chen, will do what I say.”
Xiao Chen replied indifferently and no longer said anything. As long as he saw Ouyang Tiande, he believed that he could convince Ouyang Tiande.
“That’s good.”
Zhao Kuo took the lead and walked into the hall with a straight face. The dignified Zhao Clan’s patriarch and the title of Imperial Advisor was actually threatened by a young grandson. How could he not be angry? If his grandson wasn’t under Xiao Chen’s control, he would have already killed someone.
“Da Huang, let’s go in.”
Seeing that the people in front had all entered the hall, Xiao Chen and Da Huang gave a careful look. The two brothers protected Dongfang Qingwu in the middle and slowly walked into the huge hall.
The space inside the hall was incomparably huge. Conservatively speaking, it could accommodate tens of thousands of people. The roof was in the shape of an inverted ladder. It was supported by twelve huge stone pillars that were more than ten feet high. The roof was covered with incomparably gorgeous murals, beautiful and magnificent.
It was Xiao Chen’s first time entering the country’s hall. He couldn’t help but look a few more times. Of course, looking a few more times was also to familiarize himself with the terrain. Once the battle started, wouldn’t he be able to remain calm?
“The ruler of a country is indeed awe-inspiring!”
With a glance, Xiao Chen saw a shining golden dragon throne placed on the innermost platform in the hall. He couldn’t help but let out a short sigh in his heart. Then, he quickly regained his calm and indifferent attitude.
Aside from the Dragon Throne, there were also four large black chairs in the main hall. They were located fifty feet in front of the Dragon Throne, and on each side were two black chairs. The number of black chairs was four, which coincided with the number of the four Imperial Advisors. Could it be that these four black chairs were specially made for the four Imperial Advisors to sit on?
That was very possible.
As expected!
Zhao Kuo entered the hall and walked directly to the black wooden chair closest to the dragon throne on the right side. He sat down without any hesitation and stared coldly at Xiao Chen, quietly waiting for the arrival of His Majesty.
Zhao Yunlong, Sun Wuneng, and the four elders naturally didn’t dare to sit on the other three black wooden chairs. They just stood quietly in the center of the hall in front of Zhao Kuo. At the same time, they were on guard against Xiao Chen and the Lion King. They were also afraid that the Lion King would suddenly attack them.
Xiao Chen, Dongfang Qingwu, and Da Huang also stood silently. At the same time, they restrained Hu Sen so that he wouldn’t act rashly.
Among the people in the hall, the one who suffered the most and was the most depressed was Hu Sen. Who asked him to be assigned such a good task?
The dozen people in the hall waited silently for less than half an incense stick of time. During this time, Hu Sen saw that Zhao Yunfei was about to die and hurriedly asked Zhao Kuo for help. Zhao Kuo was shocked and remembered that he still had a Holy Healing Pill. So, he threw it to Hu Sen. Hu Sen fed the Holy Healing Pill to Zhao Yunfei. Only then did Zhao Yunfei survive. So, the one who suffered the most was none other than Zhao Yunfei.
