No sooner had the announcement been heard than a flurry of footsteps signaled the arrival of a man who ignored protocol and marched directly into the great hall.
The newcomer was a tall and hefty man, with a fierce look in his eyes that belied his forty-some years of age. He wore a red robe with a pure black cloak fastened to his back. His commanding presence quivered in the air as he moved.
Chu Liang immediately discerned that this man was indeed a powerful practitioner of the Seventh Realm, and subsequently, understood the subtle atmosphere in the hall.
No one in the Qi Feng Temple had time to inform him of the current state of the nation beforehand.
This Uncle Emperor of the Gao Yue Country was the brother of the previous Monarch, yet he was of similar age to the current Monarch. At the time of the struggle for the throne, the current Monarch was indeed stronger and had a higher cultivation level, hence he assumed the throne.
