Chapter 792 (Kneel Down!)
"Sect Master, the Voidless Empire... it's truly magnificent. Look at those city walls, they're even grander than the Three Supreme Halls of the Soul River!" Yu Wenxiang, who was on the side, couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
Qi Le gazed at the boundless city walls. "The Three Supreme Halls? I'm afraid they might not even compare to the Benevolent King Prison!"
Lan Gu stroked his white beard, saying nothing, and walked towards the city gates.
As they saw the white-armoured soldiers at the city gate, his brows slightly furrowed, showing no fluctuations of energy, like an ordinary person.
What did this mean? According to what they heard, these guards were all Master level powerhouse.
With confusion, the three of them entered the Voidless Empire.
This time, their visit was low-key; they didn't arouse any suspicion.
The might of extermination of a sect couldn't be taken lightly. After all, the true strength of the Voidless Empire hadn't been fully revealed yet.
However, from what they could see now, it was already tremendously powerful, an existence that couldn't be provoked.
Not long after the Supreme Spirit Sect entered the city, Feng Yong Chang, the Emperor of the Divine Steppes, also arrived. His expression was rather gloomy.
However, that expression quickly dissipated. He was stunned by the sight of the Voidless Empire before him and remained mesmerised for a while.
Compared to Voidless Realm, his own Divine Steppes couldn't possibly match up.
He even felt that he didn't seem like an Emperor at all, more like a village head.
Truly, without a comparison, one wouldn't know how far behind they were.
The Divine Steppes did have grandeur, with its long procession showcasing the regal air of royalty.
But in the presence of the Voidless Empire, it was nothing but a joke.
Feng Yong Chang knew he almost wished he could come alone; this was just making himself the subject of ridicule.
He wasn't the only one who felt this way. The Emperor of the Profound Kingdom, as well as the Emperor of the Terra Magna Empire, who followed him, all had the same thoughts. Their processions were quite impressive.
As the processions entered the city, the citizens pointed and whispered. Some even covered their mouths and chuckled.
You're all defeated warriors, and yet you still have the audacity to put on such airs. Aren't you afraid of becoming a laughingstock? This is self-devaluation.
Look at the Supreme Spirit Sect, how low-key they are. They've been walking the whole way.
The processions quickly arrived at the front of the palace. It was time for the kings to dismount.
Near the palace, stood Lan Gu and others. Why weren't they going inside? That was because they were waiting for everyone to enter together.
Lan Gu was the head of the Supreme Spirit Sect. Could his temper endure this? Absolutely not!
So, he just stood to the side without speaking, fuming.
The three emperors dismounted from their carriages and saw Lan Gu and the others. Without much thought, they quickly walked over to greet them.
"Greetings, Master Lan Gu!" The three kings respectfully saluted.
"En." Lan Gu responded with his eyes closed, appearing aloof.
Of the three emperor, aside from Feng Yong Chang, there was Song Feiang, the emperor of the Profound Kingdom. He was the one who had previously sent assassins to kill Mu Ran.
The other, quite lean, was Guan Jiaxiang, the king of the Terra Magna Empire. His face was tense.
Seeing that Lan Gu wasn't speaking, Guan Jiaxiang cautiously asked, "Master Lan Gu, what's happening this time? Are we walking into a trap?"
Song Feiang was also concerned. "Indeed, Master Lan Gu. We heard that your 200,000 disciples were annihilated, that Elder Fang was crushed to death, and Elder Ma's whereabouts are unknown. How are we supposed to deal with this? We're completely powerless to fight back."
Hearing Song Feiang's words, Lan Gu's expression grew even darker. It was as if he was reminding himself—200,000 disciples dead, and two elders killed in battle!
Feng Yong Chang's voice was low. "What are you worried about? Everything is under the command of Master Lan Gu."
Song Feiang and Guan Jiaxiang fell silent. Now, they could only rely on the powerful Supreme Spirit Sect.
"Feng Yong Chang, have you carried out the task I assigned you?" Lan Gu's voice carried a hint of killing intent.
"Feng Yong Chang, the whole family of Mu Ran has been beheaded. No one was spared," Feng Yong Chang respectfully replied.
Lan Gu nodded. "Very good! This beast! To actually betray the Supreme Spirit Sect!"
"Yes, I also felt strange when Mu Ran said she was coming here alone," Feng Yong Chang followed suit, speaking with a flattering tone.
The heavy palace doors suddenly creaked, causing everyone to stand up straight, watching as the doors slowly opened.
Yi Hong appeared at the doorway, looking at the group. "Follow me."
The group took a deep breath. Upon entering this door, they couldn't tell whether it was for better or worse. It was all up to fate now.
Leading the way, Yi Hong was followed by all the bigwigs of the Northern Chill region. They climbed the long staircase and finally arrived at the main hall!
"Everyone, please enter." Yi Hong didn't intend to go inside herself, he just smiled slightly.
Lan Gu and the others weren't puzzled. They entered the grand hall.
As they stepped inside the hall, Lan Gu felt a warmth. The floor underfoot seemed unusual, and the dragon-patterned columns emitted an astonishing aura.
Sitting on the central throne, was that the emperor of the Voidless Empire?
Indeed, he looked extraordinary, his appearance was stunning!
And sitting below...
It was actually Mu Ran!!!
When Lan Gu and the others saw Mu Ran, they were completely stunned.
And when Mu Ran saw the head of the sect and others, she was equally surprised. She hadn't expected that, besides inviting her to dinner, the Emperor also invited others!
This kind of meeting...
It felt a bit awkward.
Seated on the throne, Ye Hua was quite pleased with this scene, especially when he saw the incredulous looks on Lan Gu and the others. It was quite amusing.
In Lan Gu's mind, he had never expected Mu Ran to truly betray the sect. Considering the current situation, she was even dining with the Emperor. It was clear she had been highly valued!
Thinking back to everything that had happened, a horrifying thought crossed Lan Gu's mind.
Everything had been arranged. Mu Ran's disappearance was all part of a plan, to make him send troops to save her, and then they would seize an opportunity!
In the eyes of others, what was the difference between him and a bandit? But the Voidless Empire had earned a good reputation, defeating the mighty Supreme Spirit Sect of the Northern Chill region!
Damn! He had actually been played!
It wasn't just Lan Gu who thought this; even Feng Yong Chang shared the sentiment. It seemed like everything had been premeditated. That cunning girl! His son hadn't returned yet!
One could only say that they guessed half of the truth. Everything was orchestrated by Ye Hua. Mu Ran used to be loyal, but it was their actions that had disheartened her, leading her to follow him.
Suddenly, Feng Yong Chang's expression turned extremely ugly, as he thought of something.
He had executed Mu Ran's entire family!
If Mu Ran had really joined the Voidless Empire... then things were going to get big.
The people stood below, without any formal courtesies. After all, they were sect leaders or emperors; there was no reason for them to kneel and bow.
Ye Hua gazed calmly, then turned to Mu Ran and said, "Mu Ran, shouldn't you say something at this point?"
Mu Ran snapped back to her senses and naturally understood the Emperor's intention, but did she really have to say it?
After a moment of hesitation, Mu Ran seemed to have made up her mind. Her previously uncertain expression became much calmer, she kneeled and declared, "Greetings to His Majesty! Please accept my respect!"
Ye Hua was very satisfied with Mu Ran's attitude. It should be like this.
