Four days later, the day before the coronation.
“Elder Lonemoon.” A disciple flew into the main hall, cupping his hands and bowing. “The fifteen country emperors from the Bo Sea have arrived.”
“They’re rather early.” I thought they wouldn’t come . Lonemoon raised his eyebrows and said, “Just arrange their accommodations.”
“They’re... not here to celebrate the imperial ascension, they claim to have an emergency and are here to meet Emperor Yi Qing.” The disciple frowned and said hesitantly.
“Oh? What issue do they have?” Lonemoon put down the daily schedule in his hand.
“They said it’s for some cannon fodder?”
“Pao Hui?”
“Oh, that’s right! They said that there was some bias in his treatment, so they’ve all come to plead with the Emperor to rescind his order.” The disciple himself was lost in his explanation.
“I didn’t think that Pao Hui would have some ability!” Lonemoon smirked. He could actually persuade 15 country emperors to come forward together, but it was pointless. “It’s the perfect opportunity to settle the issue, where’s the chef?”
“Elder, chef... Yi Qing ... Emperor is in the back palace cooking.” The disciple changed his sentence a few times.
“Ask Shen Ying to call for him, tell him to settle it the way he did before.” Lonemoon waved his arm and continued to fiddle with his abacus. Tomorrow would be the official imperial ascension for Yi Qing to become an Emperor. The carrots from all the continents would be here, he still had a score to settle with them. He had no time for these hypocrites.
“Yes!” The disciple immediately stepped out and excitedly went to look for Shen Ying.
In the main palace.
Since the disciple had left to report, the country emperors had already waited for four hours, but the Emperor had not appeared after a long time, making them even more infuriated. Initially, they had not believed when Pao Hui had said that the new Emperor did not care about the immortals, so their journey here was also to probe about the new Emperor’s plans. Now, it seemed that he was indeed arrogant.
In the past, no matter how busy Emperor Zi Chen was, he still valued them highly. He had never let them wait for so long, to make matters worse they were not even served tea. Before they met him, the country emperors already disliked the new Emperor and had feelings of revolting.
Although their cultivation levels were all below Celestial Emperor and they depended on the Bo Sea, their countries were all still run individually by them. Even if a new Emperor had a high cultivation level, it was extremely difficult to interfere with them, moreover, it was a critical period now.
However, they did not dare to just leave like that. After another two hours of waiting, they finally saw the disciple return, saying that she would bring them to see the Emperor. After saying that, he turned around and flew away, looking like he was in a hurry.
The country emperors exchanged gazes and had no choice but to follow him. However, the realized that they were flying further and had left the area around the palace to a deserted celestial region. As they were suspecting the disciple’s ulterior motives, she suddenly stopped and pointed to the front, saying, “Che... the Emperor is waiting for you inside.”
After saying that, she turned around and flew back in an even larger hurry than she had come.
The country emperors were all baffled as they looked at the rocks floating in the air in front of them. They then saw a person standing on a giant rock in the middle, dressed in white robes and Immortal Qi emanating from him. He looked at them with a cold expression, frowning and seeming unhappy. Although he had intentionally held back his aura, they could still feel a pressuring suppression pressing towards them.
The Emperors’ hearts all skipped a beat and they involuntarily took a step back. They naturally recognized the new Emperor. It was the person who had beat them up when they had surrounded the Invincible Sect back then.
“Emperor Yi Qing...”
A country emperor took a deep breath and stepped forward, wanting to greet him, but he was interrupted by the person opposite him.
“Cut the nonsense!” He grabbed something in his hand and walked towards them, “Do it!” After he said that, he realized that something was off and moved his hand back. With a glow, the item in his hand instantly became an immortal sword, its Sword Qi surrounding the area.
Everyone: “...”
Huh, huh, huh?! What’s going on, he wanted to fight them? They were not here for a fight, they just wanted to reason with him!
And... he was holding a spatula in his hand just now, right?! It definitely was!
This was the second time they had seen him doing that, wasn’t it a bit too late for him to realize that something was wrong?
-_-|||
“Wait a minute!” The country emperors all shouted, “We’re here to reason!”
Yi Qing frowned impatiently and sword arrays appeared in the air in an instant, rushing towards them. He answered with a straight face, “I am reasoning with you!” Master had said that a strong fist was the absolute truth.
After saying that, he did not care whether they had reacted and rushed straight at them.
Fifteen minutes later...
The country emperors who had fallen in a bunch: “...” Pao Hui, f*ck you!
What happened to avoiding Lonemoon and directly meeting the Emperor?
——————
The second day, on the coronation.
As the continent that was closest to the Demon World, the entire Celestial World’s impression of the Bo Sea right now could be summarised in one word — pitiful!
Even though the Demon World was law-abiding now and the Bo Sea had a new Emperor, the immortals still felt that it would be of no use. The new Emperor was likely forced up to be a scapegoat. One day, this place would become the battlefield for the two worlds.
Not just those from the other continents, even the immortals within the Bo Sea also felt the same way.
Surprisingly, on the day of the new Emperor’s coronation, all the Celestial Emperors from the Celestial World were present and had prepared generous gifts. The celestial boat was packed full of congratulatory gifts and looked as though the nine Celestial palaces had been emptied. Moreover, the Celestial Emperors did not just send emissaries as a token of goodwill, but had all personally attended the coronation.
This scene even caused the country emperors who had been beat up, but could not vent their anger to be baffled. They naturally knew that their new Emperor had been recommended by the other Celestial Emperors and they had seen his ability in the Invincible Sect. His swordsmanship, his cultivation level... Even though he was only a Young Emperor back then, it was already surprising enough to many people. Yesterday’s battle had made them lose their thoughts of opposition completely. The Celestial World’s number one sword cultivator. No! He could even be declared the Celestial World’s number one Celestial Emperor.
However, this did not stop them from thinking like the other immortals, believing that he was simply a scapegoat pushed forward by the other Emperors to temporarily hold the Demon World’s invasion at bay as cannon fodder. That was why they dared to undermine the new Emperor.
However, from today’s scene, it appeared that... the other Emperors did not have such thoughts. Moreover, not just towards Emperor Yi Qing, they were also extremely polite and tolerant of the 200 disciples that he had brought.
Unfamiliar with the terrain? Nobody to show them the way? No problem... The two or three days they had to wait was part of their cultivation!
The Immortal Pavilion they were arranged was too small for them? No problem... They could all just squeeze, it was also fine for them to sleep on the floor!
They traveled long distances and were thirsty? No problem... They had water element immortals and could settle it themselves!
The palace was shorthanded and could not manage? No problem... We brought a lot of people, just order them around!
So, everyone realized strangely that the people running around the entire Immortal Pavilion busily were all immortal guards from the other palaces, as though their Emperor was the one who was involved in today’s imperial ascension. Even...
“Eh, that’s right... Hey, chicken!”
“Chicken is here!” Chu Xuan immediately moved over, “What’s the problem, Little Hong?”
“The west palace’s array formation was destroyed by our disciples a few days ago and a giant hole appeared in the palace. We need to fix it, but I’m too busy to...”
“No problem, leave it to me!” As he said that, he instinctively carried the lumber beside him and flew off.
The country emperors sitting in the palace: “...”
Were these really the Emperors who were revered? Why were these disciples ordering them around so proficiently? Moreover, what was with those excited expressions like they had been praised?
They must definitely have opened their eyes the wrong way!
