“Uncle... I thought you got refined to ashes...” Wang Meng wiped his eyes and was the first toe and hug Feiyun. The guy was huge; just his hand alone was big enough to wrap Feiyun’s entire head.


    “Stop, stop.” Feiyun’s hair got ruined by the excited guy’s disy of affection.


    Wang Mengughed and began praising: “Like I said, my Martial Uncle is the best. There’s no way you could have fallen so easily.”


    Numerous cultivators crowded the area with Feiyun at the center. The two fighters werepletely forgotten because this news was too much to take.


    Su Yun and the schr only came to chat; they weren’t surprised at all. Feiyun’s fake death could have tricked others but definitely not the schr.


    Feiyun also sensed a great animosity so he nced over. On a jade stairway leading to a pce stood a man in a golden robe - Long Shenya.


    The guy thought Feiyun was dead for sure after finding the King’s Order, not expecting for Feiyun to still be alive on top of prancing around unnoticed in front of him for thest few days.


    “The gambling hall got ruined by this asshole? Why does such a treacherous spawn exist in my lifetime, damn it!” Xiyue Anluan clenched his fists, resisting the urge to run over and beat up the guy.


    Long Qingyang’s eyes became misty and glowed as she looked at the star: “Such a handsome guy after taking off his hat, who is he?”


    Anluan coldly said: “That’s the number one genius of Jin, the youngest Divine King in history, Feng Feiyun.”


    Her eyes shed even brighter like two stars.


    Princess Luofu was inside the tallest pce in the city next to the zing cauldron. Her eyes as beautiful as jewels; the forty-five strands of draconic aura around her intensified.


    The wind slightly lifted her veil, revealing half of her wondrous features making the maids go crazy.


    With a breath as sweet as orchid, her voice echoed across half of the capital: “The four Divine Consorts wish for Feng Feiyun to enter the Sky Hall.”


    Her voice resembled the cry of a phoenix - pleasant yet prating.


    Feiyun could clearly hear her despite being dozens of miles away. He looked at the sky and saw a golden pce floating in the air. The princess stood there, her hair fluttering in the wind. She looked like a jade statue or an empress looking down at her subjects.


    People all thought they were looking at a great ruler in the nine firmaments.


    ‘Such a big revtion like this and the emperor still won’te out? Looks like he really isn’t at the capital then.’ Feiyun thought.


    The Sky Hall was one of thergest pces in the capital, an entrance to the forbidden pce. Official business of the court was carried out here.


    Plenty of experts resided at the capital but few were qualified to enter this ce.


    It was in the evening with the sun shining down, resulting in the pce reflecting a golden glow on Feiyun.


    He took off his ck attire in favor of the official Divine King’s uniform and crest. He straightened his back, looking quite heroic as he made his way into the pce - eyes straight forward as if no one else mattered.


    The Divine King was the leader of the royal n without the emperor present; even the four consorts were beneath him. The three Prestigious Directors were on the same level as him at best. Moreover, this was the imperial city, the territory of the royal n, so they weren’t in a position to interfere. That’s why Feiyun didn’t need to care for anyone.


    This golden pce towered in height. Entering the main chamber was the same as entering a massive square.


    The four consorts were sitting together; each beautiful and mighty with an unreachable air. Ordinary girls couldn’t have this same presence.


    From left to right: Consort Ji, Consort Hua, Consort Beiming, and Consort Luo.


    Several ancestors of the royal n, Long Shenya, Princess Luofu, and many important officials were present as well. This event was clearly shocking to everyone.


    “Bring a seat out for the Divine King.” Consort Hua was in charge of the harem and had the Queen’s Order.


    Two eunuchs brought over a golden chair. Feiyun sat down right away without any hesitation.


    The atmosphere seemed a bit strange. After a while, Consort Ji broke the silence by nervously asking: “Your Excellency, is Yue’er... alive?”


    Ji Lingxuan grew haggardly in recent days due to despair. However, Feiyun’s appearance gave her hope again, so herplexion became pinker.


    Feiyun hesitated for a moment before answering: “Cangyue... I’m sorry, Consort, I failed to take care of her.”


    Lingxuan seemed struck by lightning. Her face turned pale once more with a strand of blood running down her lips. Her ck hair suddenly turned white, even whiter than her paleness.


    She was still as young as a seventeen-year-old girl, but her heart was dead.


    Long Cangyue was naturally alive, but Feiyun couldn’t reveal this right now. He felt that it was a little too cruel and decided to find Lingxuanter to tell her.


    Princess Luofu now stood behind him. Despite the veil, one could still see the joy in her eyes: “Your Excellency, how did you escape? Who were the attackers?”


    Long Shenya became anxious but the old fox Beiming was still nonchnt as ever.


    Feiyun took note of this and was impressed by this fearless old man.


    “The mansion has secret passages that could ovee the sealing formations. Nevertheless, I paid a great price to escape. As for the culprits, I still don’t know. They consumed poison before attacking so when I captured them, they activated it and turned into a pool of blood, not leaving any clue.” He answered.


    Shenya felt much better after hearing this.


    Feiyun feigned ignorance because it was useless right now. Forcing the issue might even ruin his current ns. Moreover, it would give the old fox time to prepare.


    Beiming Moshou stroked his beard and said: “Clearly the method of top assassins. No one else dares to do so besides the Supreme Fate Ending Pce. Hmph! They’re insane, may I suggest for the mobilization of the martial army to destroy them?”


    The people under his banner quickly voiced their support - wanting to kill to make an example out of these assassins, to prolong the prestige of the dynasty. Of course, they were just shouting without offering concrete ns.


    Feiyun said: “Right, right! The world belongs to the emperor, but does anyone know where the Supreme Fate Ending Pce is located? Please, tell me how we can destroy them if we don’t even know where they are.”


    “Uhh... well...”


    “Don’t worry, the authority of the dynasty is untouchable, they will be destroyed sooner orter.”


    “The martial army is unstoppable and will put an end to them in the blink of an eye!”


    All shamelessly chirped for their own agenda.


    Feiyun looked down at them in his mind before answering: “I suggest we leave this forter. What do you all think?”


    “True, this is a crucial moment of the groompetition and we can’t afford to be distracted.”


    “Wise you are, Divine King.”


    “I concur.”


    Beiming Moshou closed his eyes and spoke: “Your Excellency, you should have shown up earlier to spare us from grieving so hard for you. White silks are still hanging over your mansion.”


    The Furious Marquis jumped in: “Your Excellency, you are betrothed to Princess Yue, so I don’t think it is appropriate for you to be in thispetition.”


    He was a follower of Moshou so the attack began.


    Another old man, one of the Nine Ministers, said seriously: “It is hical indeed, Princess Yue has yet to grow cold so you should be building a tomb for her while wearing a grieving robe, mourning for three years before being able to marry again. She would be so sad otherwise in the afterlife. Please reconsider.”


    “Please reconsider!”


    “Please reconsider!”


    Moshou interrupted them and said: “Your Excellency, this matter does require more thoughts, not just for the sake of Princess Yue but also Consort Ji. Look how her hair has grown gray in just one day, I am stricken with sadness. You need to spend more time with her so that she could soon recover.”


    These people didn’t want Feiyun to marry the princess. Abination of these two would increase her chance of bing the next empress.


    They all supported the current crown prince, so if he were to lose, it wouldn’t end well for them. Once she became an empress, she would massacre their entire ns. This had happened too many times in the past so they had no choice but to stop him.


    Moshou was even more direct. He knew about the fling between Feiyun and Ji Lingxuan, so he brought this up in order to threaten Feiyun.
