Chapter 1059: Palace Of The Lord

Feiyun didn’t expect this development and prayed for the two thieves.

The turtle paused for a moment before saying: “For all lucrative endeavors in the future, we must never bring the Evil Woman with us again.”

Feiyun absolutely agreed with this statement.

Lamps remained lit in the city with cultivators pa.s.sing by. There was virtually no difference between night and day. In fact, nighttime seemed to be livelier.

There were many other cultivators sitting in this restaurant. On a platform nearby, a scholar told everyone about recent events - the killing of the Eighth Prince, the invasion from the Yin World, some reclusive masters appearing…

Cultivators were people as well so some enjoyed listening to gossip and rumors.

The turtle looked around and then whispered: “Are you aware that all the territory lords are here right now? There is an oath banquet tomorrow to plan an invasion of the Yin World.”

Feiyun nodded: “I’ve heard about it before, the palace will be rather lively tomorrow.”

“More than that, this is a grand event, even some experts from the demon race will be there. Azure is serious this time.” The turtle said.

“Can it be…” Feiyun’s eyes narrowed. He stopped speaking since this matter was rather sensitive.

“There is another thing I have to tell you, I noticed a temple inside Sacred Court not long ago.” The turtle said.

“So what?”

“Follow me.” The turtle and the fruit turned into two rays - one white and one black. They flew out of the window.

Feiyun paused for a bit before placing a spirit stone as big as a fist on the table. He jumped out of the window as well.

They traveled to a temple with nine floors. There were plenty of visitors and offerings in the form of incense.

“Supreme Temple.” Feiyun stared at the white-jade stair leading to the entrance. On top was a floating lamp emitting bright spirit energy.

“I heard that she is a new deity, getting rather popular in the last several years. There are eighty-three temples in just the five main stars. In all of Sacred Territory, probably a few hundred thousand temples.” The turtle revealed: “This is an insane level of growth. I guarantee that she has earned the support of a large power.”

Feiyun walked up slowly and entered the temple. He stared at the beautiful statue and said: “It’s her. To have so many temples in Sacred Court? This requires immense resources. I suppose that it’s not hard for her to garner support, given her intelligence. Who though?”

He closed his eyes and channeled the Grand Change Art. Heavenly laws circled around him but there was an invisible power stopping his calculation.

“She’s a capable wisdom master, sealing all potential divination.” He concluded.

The problem was that he didn’t focus on this aspect. Otherwise, he would be much better than right now.

“It’s not that hard to figure this out but I need to focus on the task at hand. I’ll deal with her another day.”

Azure seemed rather ambitious with his true body returning. His cultivation most likely reached the next level, the same with his ambition.

Feiyun felt that it wouldn’t just be an oath banquet tomorrow. He might usurp the throne as well. Therefore, he must enter the palace of the lord tonight.

The place was just highly guarded like the treasury. Ordinary people had no chance of getting inside this floating palace. Guards riding drakes were everywhere.

“Who are you? Leave if you have no official business here.” A man in golden armor shouted at Feiyun.

He looked around thirty years of age; his eyes s.h.i.+ned brightly and intimidatingly.

“Hmph, I am a member of Heaven Restoration, how dare you stop me?!” Feiyun took out a badge and frightened the guards.

As a member of Heaven Restoration, he had a similar status to those from the Guardian Tribe.

It’s just his cabinet protected Azure Territory Lord while the Guardian Tribe protected the lord of Sacred Court.

The truth was that he didn’t like this weak lord and preferred someone like Azure. If he had to pick one, he would pick the latter since his future would be far brighter there.

Alas, he chose against joining anyone. He didn’t wish to have shackles, only wanting to follow his own desire. If he had a choice, he wouldn’t have gotten involved in this mess.

He wanted to finish this task and then leave Sixth Central to focus on reaching Heaven’s Emergence. He didn’t give a d.a.m.n about who would eventually rule Sixth Central.

He put away the badge and uttered coldly: “I am here to check on the preparation for the oath banquet tomorrow. It has to be perfect.”

“Hmph, First Heaven is in charge of this banquet under the order of the territory lord, it is none of your business.”

Feiyun nearly got in but a man wearing a green official robe stood in front of him, looking rather aggressive.

This man was twenty years of age and had a steel badge as well - First Heaven of Sacred Court.

His expression looked gray and his voice sounded strange.

Ever since the Guardian Tribe was moved into the treasury, the guards here have been changing all the time.

The current organization was known as First Heaven, responsible for protecting the royal family and its lord. In reality, they were sent here by Azure to keep an eye on him.

If the lord dared to have any rebellious thoughts, First Heaven would eliminate him and pick a different lord.

“Our chamber lord was afraid that you might not have enough capable people and sent me here to help.” Feiyun sneered.

“Rather arrogant, aren’t you? I’ll show you if we are capable or not right now.” The man released energy that turn into a sword. He appeared right in front of Feiyun and tried to slash his neck with extreme speed.

Members of First Heaven had no qualms about killing, hence their notorious reputation. They were geniuses specifically chosen for their power and loyalty.

“Sirs, please do not fight at the royal palace!”

The guards became drenched in a cold sweat. They were aware of the hostility between these two factions.

However, the feast was tomorrow so it would be problematic for any damage to be left here at the entrance. They would be the first ones decapitated.

Alas, they couldn’t interfere because both of these youths had superior status.

This youth was indeed capable since he lasted several hundred moves against Feiyun.

‘Not bad at all, his talent and power are formidable.’ Feiyun gained insight into Azure’s power. He started thinking that the Guardian Tribe might lose.

The youth’s name was Bai Yue. He had cultivated for more than a thousand years and had reached the seventh level of Nirvana.

This was the reason why he was chosen to join First Heaven. Now, he was at peak first-level Heaven's Emergence, one of the most promising members of his faction.

Bai Yue was shocked as well. This youth looked far younger than him but was actually pus.h.i.+ng him back. Could he be another seventh-level genius from the cabinet?

‘No wonder why Elder Lin sent him here to interfere.’ He knew just how important the banquet tomorrow was.

If this continued, they would cause actual damage to the palace and both of them would be severely punished.

“You are not bad at all, we shall continue this at the banquet tomorrow.” Bai Yue said.

“I’m ready any time.” Feiyun smiled.

Bai Yue then left the palace while Feiyun entered the entrance in a leisurely manner.

The guards finally heaved a sigh of relief after the two troublemakers were gone.
