C80 Entering the palace
C80 Entering the palace
Outside the palace, countless people were gathered, waiting with great anticipation for the gate to open.
When the red sun hung high in the sky, a loud creaking sound could be heard, giving off a heavy aura that continuously stirred the crowd's eardrums.
The door to the palace had finally been opened!
Countless gazes turned towards the entrance, only to see dozens of warriors clad in black armor stepping out.
Every single one of them exuded a powerful aura, and their expressions were solemn and respectful. Their eyes were filled with a hint of cold sternness, making it hard for people to look straight at them.
Seeing so many black-armored soldiers walking towards them, everyone couldn't help but tremble in fear.
Were they the guards of the Royal Palace? How could they be so powerful? Even the aura they emitted was extremely oppressive.
"Today is the wedding day between the Third Princess and Young Master Sikong. The Lord Emperor has decreed for the world to celebrate together with the entire country. Everyone, regardless of their status, can enter the palace to watch the feast." The leader of the black armored warriors said calmly.
Suddenly, a sharp light flashed across his eyes and he coldly said, "However, there are some rules that you have to follow. If you find someone disturbing the order, kill them without mercy!"
As the sound of his voice faded, an overwhelming aura gushed forth from him as the black armor he was clad in began to emit a faint crackling sound, as though it was about to explode at any moment.
His body continued to rise higher and higher, appearing like a giant standing in front of the crowd.
Even though there was still some distance between them and Qin Wentian, everyone could clearly feel the terrifying aura radiating from him.
They understood that this action was a form of intimidation. After all, there were simply too many people attending this banquet. Without the help of iron blood, it would be difficult to control the situation. The necessary deterrence methods were indispensable.
The palace was divided into inner and outer branches, and there were two entrances to the banquet this time, namely the two gates of internal sect.
The internal sect was the entrance to the Four Great sect s, one of the first-rate families in the Tianyu Country, and the outer sect was the entrance to the common folk and second-rate families.
The reason why they had separated the two entrances was to show the difference in status. The difference in status was destined that they wouldn't be at the same starting point.
Secondly, in order to avoid being crowded, it was necessary to provide those people with noble statuses with a better viewing experience. After all, ordinary people were the majority, and the true core of those people would always be those few people.
Even if they were to enter through internal sect, there would be a batch of them as well.
The Four Great sect s were the first to enter, and had already entered the deep parts of the Imperial Palace yesterday. The Imperial Family had arranged a special resting area for them, and the treatment they received could not be compared to ordinary people.
The second batch consisted of the forces from the first-rate families in Tianyu Country. The time was today.
Since a portion of the disciples were not only members of the Four Great sect s, but also disciples of first-rate family powers, they had two choices: to enter together with the sect in advance, or to enter together with the clan the next day.
In order to bring Qin Xuan in from the internal sect, Yue Meng chose to enter the internal sect with the clan today.
The two of them had arrived outside the internal sect very early on. There were a total of thirteen people from the Yue Clan, the Clan Master Yue Yuan and a few of the clan's most outstanding disciples.
Yue Lin, the person Qin Xuan had met last time was also present. However, he seemed to be a little low-key today, and the way he looked at Yue Meng was a little strange.
Last time, he had specially invited the Four Association of Pharmacists s' medicine masters to come, wanting to take the Purple Thunder Tripod away. However, Qin Xuan had forced him to retreat, causing him to lose all face.
What shocked him even more was that the Purple Thunder Tripod that no one had been able to take away for almost a hundred years, was taken away by someone who looked extremely young.
After that day, many clan elders began to talk to Yue Meng one after another, and many high quality resources began to tilt towards him.
Qin Xuan was still wearing a simple set of white robes today.
The only difference was that today, he was wearing a bronze mask that covered his entire face. Only his eyes were exposed, adding to his mysteriousness.
Seeing Qin Xuan in such attire, Yue Meng naturally had some doubts in his heart, but he knew that some of the questions could be hidden deep inside his heart, thus he did not say much.
"Brother Xuan, what do you think about today's banquet?" Yue Meng smiled and asked Qin Xuan, as if there was a hidden meaning behind his words.
"Of course it's glorious and magnificent. It can even be said to be a rare scene that happens only once in a hundred years." Qin Xuan sighed in admiration, only, he did not know what kind of expression was under the mask.
"BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!" A few heaven-shaking, earth-shaking drumbeats rang out, and internal sect slowly began to spread out from them.
Seeing this scene, Yue Meng's heart became complicated.
The grand feast of the world was about to begin, and there would probably be many people who would show their prowess. Would he be able to stand out again?
Qin Xuan's eyes flashed with a sharp glint, was it finally starting, he had been waiting for such a long time!
The Patriarchs of the first-rate families were the first to step out, followed by the outstanding disciples of the various families.
Qin Xuan and Yue Meng looked at each other, as though the whole thing were unspoken, and they walked towards the internal sect together.
As for Yue Lin, he only started moving after the two of them, obviously intentionally avoiding them.
"Not long after Brother Yue, you seem to have become even more high-spirited!"
A light laugh came out, causing Yue Meng's expression to turn serious as he looked towards the direction of the sound.
His temperament was not ordinary, his face was handsome and he was brimming with energy and vitality. At the moment, he was smiling at Yue Meng, as though the two of them had an extremely good relationship.
Qin Xuan also looked over, but when he saw the person behind him, his pupils couldn't help but constrict, as if he was a little surprised.
"It's actually him!" Qin Xuan thought to himself, it was the Ou Qi who fought over the medicine with him at the underground exchange. He did not expect that he would also come.
Ou Ge seemed to sense that someone was looking at him, his gaze looked all around, and finally landed on Qin Xuan's body.
It was just that Qin Xuan was currently wearing a mask, so he did not recognize him and did not pay much attention to it.
At this moment, Orchon was standing behind the handsome young man, appearing extremely respectful. It seemed that he was also a member of the Ou Clan, and his status was even higher compared to Orchon.
"So it's Brother Wuyou. The you today are really dazzling!" Yue Meng replied lightly with a rather cold tone.
"Brother Yue, who is this?" Qin Xuan said to Yue Meng through sound transmission.
"This person is called Ou Wuyou, he is in the Eastern Region like my Yue Clan, and has the same strength as me. He has fought with me many times, and his thoughts are extremely deep." Yue Meng replied.
Hearing Yue Meng's explanation, Qin Xuan suddenly realised. No wonder Yue Meng treated this person coldly, and even had some enmity towards him. At the same time, he secretly remembered Ou Wuyou's name in his heart.
Ou Wuyou heard the cold tone in Yue Meng's tone, but he still walked forward and said with a smile: "Brother Yue doesn't need to be like this. I wonder how Brother Yue is preparing for today's grand feast?"
After Qin Xuan heard these words, he looked deeply into Ou Wuyou's eyes. This person looked gentle on the surface, but he was actually extremely cunning in his heart.
Those who did not know would think that Ou Wuyou was caring about Yue Meng, but Qin Xuan had guessed that it was a test.
Yue Meng was not an ordinary person, he naturally understood the meaning of these words, and said coldly: "There's no need for Brother Wuyou to worry about this, Brother Xuan, let's go."
Qin Xuan slightly nodded, and followed Yue Meng towards the internal sect, directly ignoring the smiling Ou Wuyou who was beside him.
As Ou Wuyou watched the two indifferently walk past him, his expression immediately stiffened, and his entire face quickly darkened.
"Yue Meng, don't be too complacent, I will definitely beat you in this banquet!" A cold light shot out from Ou Wuyou's eyes.
Soon after, a grey robed man walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, just two clowns." Ou Wuyou said coldly, then stared at the man: "We will have to rely on the Brother Murong this time."
"I won't let them stop you." The grey-clothed man said with an expressionless face, as if he was speaking the most ordinary of words.
After that, the people of the Ou Family also entered the internal sect.
In the middle of the palace, a gigantic floating round table was now erected. There were levels of stairs that led directly to the round table, it was an extremely spectacular sight.
In the air above the round table, there were many seats beside the countless steps. They were roughly divided into four areas, and were arranged in a ladder arrangement.
At the top was the Golden-purple District, and there were only a few dozen seats. This place had the best view from above, and everything below could be seen clearly.
In the center of the seats, there was a throne that was made of gold, the rest of the seats were all around it, forming the image of stars cupping the moon, it was the supreme throne of the Emperor.
Those who were able to sit in the purple gold region were all famous in the Tianyu Country. Most of them were the leaders of the top powers, including some of the nobles who had earned great military merits.
Below them was the red area. Below the purple gold area, there was also a pretty good viewing angle, which was also the seat for the elders and outstanding disciples of the Four Great sect s.
The blue region was at the same level as the round table. It was the region closest to the round table and held the title of Patriarch.
The lowest was Huang. The people seated in the lower part of the round table were all the elite disciples of first-rate families. Their status were slightly lower than the core disciples of the Four Great sect s.
Qin Xuan and Yue Meng were originally sitting in the red seating area, but because of Qin Xuan, he chose to sit here in the end.
The four regions were divided according to the status of those who visited the banquet.
Basically, one only had to look at the seat of a person to know his or her status.
And the lowest region of the round table was where the ordinary citizens and the second-rate and third-rate families were visiting. They did not have the qualifications to have a seat and could only look up to the round table. Naturally, they would have the worst viewing angles.
Even so, there were still countless people who felt ecstatic and excited.
They were thankful for the Lord Emperor's gift, flattering him as if he were a god. He gave them the qualifications to witness this grand feast, and gave them the chance to witness the legendary event that might be recorded in the annals of history!
