Awakening from meditation, Dana knew it was time to meet the nobles at the agreed place for their gathering before leaving towards the Azure Emperor Palace. Old Man Zhao will already wait for her there as he will be at the meeting he arranged with the Azure Emperor and the Houtian subordinates to stall them until Dana arrives, how he would do that is from the gist of the situation Old Man Zhao will just be speaking a load of gibberish to keep them occupied, which from her personal experience he has an exceptional talent in.
Seeing as everything is put in place, Dana leaves towards the location where the nobles will await her. As soon as Dana appears, she saw Kaiden alongside the Lords she met earlier accompanied by a few men she didn't recognize. However, Dana was already informed that there were a few noble families which joined after witnessing Dana's strength as they affirmed she got the means to defeat the Azure Emperor. A reliable source checked these noble families whether they had a good reputation beforehand, Dana wouldn't just allow any noble family to intrude in the new leading faction of the Azure Empire. This also further showed the Azure Emperor's "talent" in attracting enemies. Dana soon noticed Kaiden had a nervous look as he approached her, is he afraid of me? Hmm. Am I truly that scary? He doesn't recognize true cuteness!
"Dana you're here!... We are all fully prepared to go to the Azure Emperors Palace... We were just waiting for your arrival!" Kaiden repetitively stutters seemingly afraid of the consequences of Dana knowing the rumour.
"Kaiden why are you so nervous? Am I that terrifying? You know I have planned on being completely merciful towards you, but you are acting like I am going to beat you up because of a mere rumour!" Dana righteously exclaimed, completely forgetting that she was thinking of "beating up" Kaiden until decisively changing her mind. Not that Kaiden worries are unfounded, as Dana didn't just get the reputation of being a "She-Devil" just for the incident involving Kaiden as he personally witnessed her beating up nobles which flirted with her, also many incidents similar repetitively happened around the academy in which were only not discovered as firstly the nobles were too embarrassed to admit they got beaten up by a girl and lastly Dana was the Headmasters disciple thus nobody truly wanted to mess with Dana with her having this sort of background! So it is no wonder Kaiden has an instinctive fear of Dana after witnessing her exploits.
Kaiden upon hearing her words straightened up whilst trying to project his "manliest" look, "Alright Dana!" Kaiden exclaimed after that Kaiden went on a long speech towards the nobles about "Taking his responsibility as new Emperor" and the many misdeeds which the Azure Emperor did whilst Dana was pacing back and forth irritated that Kaiden went from being a nervous wreck to a blabbermouth that won't shut up.
Until Dana couldn't take it anymore and loudly interrupted, "Alright everyone, follow my lead to the Azure Emperor. We need to make haste before Old Man Zhao bores them to death!" hurriedly stated Dana, as she stormed to the front of the group, the nobles following behind her obediently. Kaiden tagged along dejectedly due to his speech being interrupted by Dana, however, he soon cheered up at the thought of Dana avenging his Evergreen Clan.
As Dana lead the group towards the Azure Palace, many civilians were shocked upon seeing such a large group of powerful nobles, it caused many to instinctively believe that a great change was going to happen to the Azure Empire. However, this thought was soon scoffed at due to the propaganda over the years the Azure Emperor was an invincible god in their eyes, possessing unparalleled cultivation and power, someone forcing this man to abdicate was simply a preposterous thought they believed.
They soon arrived in front of the Azure Emperor's palace, the guards at the gate upon seeing such a powerful large group of nobles were greatly surprised. However, this soon turned into a weird look as there weren't any nobles expected to see the Azure Emperor today, so they must have come uninvited. One of the guards stood in front of the entrance, blocking the route in which the group was coming in.
"The Azure Emperor wasn't informed prior notice to you coming to meet him! Only those which have an arranged meeting cleared by the Azure Emperor himself are allowed entrance! Turn back where you came from!" Loudly shouted the guard with an arrogant look, giving absolutely no face to these nobles, as he was a guard of the Azure Emperor, he didn't put any noble family which didn't have a Houtian Cultivator in his eyes.
However, surprisingly the group didn't turn around as he anticipated and they kept moving forward at the same pace rapidly heading towards his location. Haven't they heard what he said, are they not afraid of causing the Azure Emperor's displeasure?
But, before the guard could continue this thought, the leading individual of the group which was Dana already arrived before him. Without even being able to react Dana already flung the guard with so much force he was knocked unconscious.
Oops. It seems like I am unaware of my own strength again, after all my body is still extremely strong in human form.
Seeing the sight in front of them the nobles had terrified looks, thinking that they will never mess with this woman! The only one among them which wasn't surprised at all was Kaiden who was aware of Dana's antics, in fact, Kaiden even gave a look saying "I told you so" to some of the nobles which had a mocking expression when he had an anxious appearance because of Dana.
This scene continuously appeared throughout Azure Emperor's Palace as every guard before they even have the time to react were thrown like rag dolls by Dana, under the watchful gazes of the nobles which gave a sympathetic look at the guards as they were thrown all over the place.
Soon enough they arrived outside the meeting area with the sound of Old Man Zhao's voice rambling about nonsense, in fact, Dana had only been listening for a minute and she already felt she was going to fall asleep.
Without being polite Dana smashed through the door entering the room, inside the room, she saw Old Man Zhao and alongside next to him were two middle-aged men, which were both Rank Four Houtian Cultivators and at the very end of the room on a majestic throne was the Azure Empire himself. Looking at the Azure Emperor's appearance, he was a Handsome middle-aged man, which was releasing an intimidating aura.
"So you are the Azure Emperor, I've been looking for you." Dana's voice sounded, stunning the individuals present. Apart from Old Man Zhao, the other three including the Azure Emperor looked upon her appearance with clear lust in their eyes.
"Oh, so you are looking for me? Did one of the noble families send one of their daughters again to be my concubine? I got to say your beauty is by far the best I've seen you'll most likely be my new favourite, but I got to say you have the most unique entrance among them." Spoke the Azure Emperor in a gruff voice, his eyes not leaving Dana's figure the moment she entered, clearly expressing his interest towards her. However, after speaking a cold gaze descended upon him filled with killing intent, seeing it was from the beautiful woman he knew that she definitely isn't here for that reason, but he'll take her anyways as it's not unusual for him to take women he likes regardless of their opinion in the matter.
"You disgust me. It looks like you may be dead too quickly before the other nobles get here to witness it." After saying that Dana's releases her cultivation, stunning the ones which are present apart from Old Man Zhao. The two other cultivators which are a middle-aged man are filled with complex emotions seeing her cultivation, they spent more than hundred years to reach their current cultivation and now they are currently someone which is only eighteen years old with cultivation higher than them. Seeing her cultivation the Azure Emperor grew serious.
"Hmm. A talented one you are aren't you? However, you are not my match girl, I'm still of higher cultivation and have lived many times longer, thus my battle experience is much superior to yours. Now, get back to whatever sect you belong and don't disturb me." Murmured the Azure Emperor in warning, he wasn't truly afraid of the girl, but the power behind them, which raised such a genius, as whichever force did was clearly someone he couldn't offend!
"You think you can deal with me? I'd like to see you try old man. Oh, it looks like the others arrived, guess they will see a show after all." After Dana made that comment, he saw a group of panting nobles getting into the room.
"Hey, girl how can you move so fast without being affected at all? We had heavily used our Qi to even remotely keep up with you!" Lord Greystone said in resentment, Dana led them on a wild goose chase after they followed the battered groaning bodies of guards creating a path directly towards this chamber.
Seeing the group of nobles a frown emerged on the Azure Emperor's face, it seems I have no choice to kill that girl, she has already caused a rebellion against my rule. His face scrunched up in even more displeasure as they had a leisurely conversation seemingly without the care in the world! It's like they don't even consider him a threat at all towards them, however, a sneer emerged on his face thinking this is the perfect opportunity to launch an attack on the girl whilst they preoccupied her.
"It seems I have to teach you a lesson girl!" The Azure Emperor launched a sneak attack when Dana was distracted, although he had higher cultivation, he still felt wary of Dana and wanted to end this fight as soon as possible.
Seeing the shamelessness of the Emperor of launching a sneak attack against a junior with lower cultivation, the nobles tried to warn Dana becoming worried that she will heavily injure from the sudden attack, however Old Man Zhao still looked unperturbed as if he is not concerned at all about the wellbeing of his disciple, he knew the power she has and just a little Azure Emperor is nothing to her.
Just as the attack was about to hit the unguarded Dana, a shocking scene emerged. Dana just grabbed onto the Azure Emperor's fist, stopping his full strength attack with barely any effort at all. A cracking sound emerged as the Azure Emperor screamed as Dana crushed his hand.
"It seems I will have to teach you a lesson!" A bloodthirsty smile emerged on her face, whilst the Azure Emperor and his subordinates become increasingly pale with fright. Is this truly a human?
Witnessing this the nobles are flabbergasted, they didn't think the difference between Dana's and the Azure Emperors strength is so one-sided, they originally thought Dana was superior but would win after exerting effort. But, what is this? It was a complete dominate display, the Azure Emperor is no threat to her at all.
Subsequently, the ensuing move after Dana crushed the Azure Emperor's attack was slamming him onto the ground, making the original mighty and noble Emperor look like a dead dog. The great Azure Emperor of the Azure Empire lasted just a mere two moves under Dana! Seeing this result the two subordinates become afraid and the nobles are standing there with a dumb look on their face, disbelieving what they had just witnessed before their eyes.
"Now let's take care of you three. I got a lot of vents up anger after all this time holding up my revenge for your crossing me." As Dana murmured, her thoughts, faces of horror emerge on the Azure Emperor and his subordinates faces.
A few hours later the resounding wails of the Azure Emperor and his subordinates continuously reverberated around the Palace, causing many nobles to have nightmares of the ensuring torture that the Azure Emperor and his subordinates went through.
After the wails finally stopped and a deathly silence descended upon the Palace, a blood-covered Dana emerged.
"Hmm. It looks like that is taken care of, I guess I should go find Kaiden. Mmm. Never mind, I'll do that later lets just rest for a day I haven't had a proper night's rest in ages." Dana said, walking towards one of the best rooms in the Palace to have a good night's rest.
