Saint Sovereign of Nine Heavens

Chen Yu, Qin Jiming, and Ling Yuxuan sat on the carriage and were escorted forward by the elite guards of the caravan.    

    

It was still early in the morning, and the street was very empty. However, at every intersection, a small group of imperial guards and constables could be seen rushing through the streets.    

    

After a short distance, they came across a group of servants driving a carriage in the same direction.    

    

An hour later, Chen Yu and the others arrived at the plaza outside the Qin Country Palace.    

    

There were many carriages and horses on the vast plaza. Sabres and spears were like trees near the palace gate. Two rows of imperial guards wearing the same set of top quality spirit armor lined up, exuding a chilling aura. Taking a rough look, each and every one of the imperial guards had the strength of Profound Dark Stage, which was very frightening.    

    

Just as the carriage came to a stop, a few imperial guards came over and asked Zhao Hong to show them his official letter.    

    

After presenting the official letter, the imperial guards let them in, reminding them, "The birthday banquet will be held in front of the Cheng Ming Palace of the royal palace, and there will be a person who will lead everyone to their seats!"    

    

After thanking him, Chen Yu and the other three walked towards the entrance of the palace in large strides. As for Zhao Hong and the other guards, they were no longer qualified to enter. They could only wait in the plaza outside the palace.    

    

When they reached the gate of the palace, they went through another round of inspection. This time, the inspection took a long time. The generals of the royal guards were checking the martial ultimatum as well as the names and origins of those who had entered the palace.    

    

"Sister Ling!" Chen Yuzheng, Ling Yuxuan, and the others waited. Suddenly, a pleasant voice rang.    

    

"Mr Meng!" Soon after, another clear and loud voice filled with pride rang out.    

    

Chen Yu turned his head and saw that a group of 30 people had already arrived. They were also here for inspection.    

    

Among these people, there were males and females, old and young, and there were only two people whom Chen Yu had seen before. One of them had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, exuding a cold and arrogant aura. It was Jiang Yuyang. There was another person that he had met outside of Ling Yuxuan's reception room. He had an extremely charming and beautiful face, and every frown and smile was extremely alluring. It was the eldest miss of Jiang Family, Jiang Yuzhen.    

    

The others, should all be well-known figures in the Jiang Family, without a single weak person.    

    

"Brother Jiang!" Looking at Jiang Yuyang approaching him, Chen Yu cupped his hands and bowed.    

    

"I heard that Mr Meng is participating in the competition in front of the palace, and his opponent is Lo Family's Lo Zhangqing?" Wu Tie said.    

    

Chen Yu nodded and said, "Brother Jiang is well-informed!"    

    

Jiang Yuyang said, "I'm afraid this battle won't be easy. Mr Meng, be careful!"    

    

"Thank you for the reminder!" Chen Yu said.    

    

Speaking of which, Chen Yu didn't have much contact with Jiang Yuyang, so he never greeted him in class. Unexpectedly, Jiang Yuyang took the initiative to talk to him.    

    

"However, if it can enter the eyes of the Duke of Qin, Mr Meng will benefit greatly from the competition!"    

    

Chen Yu smiled. He would rather not have this benefit.    

    

"Yo, Chairman Meng, we meet again!" A melodious sound rang out and a burst of fragrance drifted over. Chen Yu turned his head and saw Jiang Yuzhen and Liu Tie coming over after greeting each other. They were actually already standing by his side.    

    

Blinking at Chen Yu, Jiang Yuzhen, who was wearing a green dress, licked his dark red lips with his tongue. It was as if he was teasing and flirting with Ling Yuxuan. In fact, there was even an alluring feeling that Ling Yuxuan couldn't match up to.    

    

Ling Yuxuan's facial expression was actually better than Jiang Yuzhen's, but she wouldn't deliberately make others misunderstand her. Thus, in terms of charm, it was slightly inferior.    

    

"Miss Jiang, you still remember me. I am deeply honored!" Chen Yu smiled and said.    

    

"Chairman Meng has an extraordinary demeanor and an extraordinary bearing. How could Yuzhen not remember Chairman Meng? It's just that at that time, I never would have thought that Chairman Meng would become the next Clan Master of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce! " Jiang Yuzhen gave Chen Yu another coquettish look, as if he hadn't noticed that Gongsun Zhiwei, who was standing next to him, was already looking a little sullen and annoyed.    

    

Gongsun Zhiwei had been a lot more gentle and quiet lately, but that didn't mean she could be indifferent to other men who teased her.    

    

Chen Yu could even feel the iciness in Gongsun Zhiwei's eyes as she stared at the back of his neck.    

    

"Miss Jiang, you're too kind!" Chen Yu said.    

    

At this moment, Ling Yuxuan grabbed Jiang Yuzhen's arm and pulled her away. As they walked, he said, "Yuzhen, I need to ask you something!"    

    

As Jiang Yuzhen was pulled apart, Jiang Yuyang revealed a wry smile towards Chen Yu and said, "Mr Meng, my sister's temperament is like this, please do not misunderstand!"    

    

Chen Yu thought to himself: "No, no!"    

    

"Mr Meng, recently there was news that Cyan Sky Origin Monarch's cave dwelling is meant for inheritance. The lower the person's strength is, the higher the chance to obtain the inheritance. Is this news true? " Jiang Yuyang asked.    

    

Chen Yu was slightly startled as his thoughts spun. "I have heard of this news as well, but I can't tell you the specifics." After all, no one had entered Cyan Sky Origin Monarch's cave before. "What? Brother Jiang is interested in Cyan Sky Origin Monarch's cave abode?"    

    

"Who would not be interested in a Transmutation Expert's cave?" Jiang Yuyang said: "Forget about Cyan Sky Origin Monarch's inheritance, even if Cyan Sky Origin Monarch left behind one or two artifacts or Medicine Pill, it would still have huge benefits. Is your Chamber of Commerce not ready to open your cave dwelling? "    

    

Chen Yu nodded and said, "There's a lot of things going on recently, so we can't care too much about it. However, after the Duke of Qin's birthday, he should make some preparations. "However, this will still depend on the attitude of everyone!"    

    

Jiang Yuyang nodded and didn't say anything else.    

    

Very soon, it was Chen Yu's turn to inspect and register. Chen Yu and Jiang Yuyang apologized and led Gongsun Zhiwei through the inspection. Under the lead of a palace attendant, they walked between the two rows of imperial guards who acted as the guard of honor.    

    

These two rows of guards only had around three hundred people, but their auras were extremely vigorous and powerful. It made Chen Yu feel as if he was having trouble breathing.    

    

It was hard for Chen Yu to imagine ten thousand guards moving together.    

    

In fact, most of the more than three hundred imperial guards only had the strength of the early stage of Profound Dark Stage, but if they were to gather together, Expert of the Deity Entering Stage would probably have to avoid them.    

    

Compared to the imperial guards, the Prefecture Guard that Chen Yu had killed before was nothing. No matter if it was strength, equipment, or aura, they were all on a different level.    

    

Walking into the palace gate, it was a long path that could accommodate seven or eight people riding Spirit Foal.    

    

On both sides of the path, every ten meters or so, there were guards guiding the way.    

    

At the end of the path was the inner palace gate. After walking through the open doors of the inner palace, everything suddenly became clear in front of their eyes. A grand hall stood one thousand meters away, grand and majestic.    

    

Directly opposite the palace gates was the palace's Hall of Heaven's Tribute.    

    

The first palace east of the Hall of Heaven's Tribute was the Hall of Accomplishment.    

    

At this moment, people were gathering outside the Cheng Ming Palace. Most of them were nobles and experts with Qin Country.    

    

Entering the inner palace, there were already officials of the Etiquette Institution waiting there. After handing over the palace attendants who were leading the way, they bowed towards Chen Yu and the others, bringing them to the Cheng Ming Palace.    

    

Compared to the Hall of Heaven's Tribute, the Cheng Ming Palace wasn't as majestic and impressive, but it took up more space and space than the Hall of Heaven's Tribute.    

    

At this moment, outside the Cheng Ming Palace, the guards holding the spear were also standing, exuding a strong murderous aura.    

    

The sound of a bamboo pipe string came from within the Great Hall. The pipe string gave off an ethereal and ethereal feeling, making anyone who heard it feel at ease.    

    

Under the guidance of the palace attendants, Chen Yu and his entourage entered the Cheng Ming hall. On the luxurious carpet in the middle of the hall, a group of beautiful and graceful maids danced gracefully.    

    

A few white-clothed musicians were fiddling with their zithers under a throne at the end of the hall. They were the ones who were playing the sound of the silk bamboo.    

    

At a glance, there were countless densely packed long tables on both sides of the hall. These tables were specially set up for this type of banquet, and there was a natural ancient atmosphere. There were a few prayer mats placed behind each table to make it easier for everyone to sit in the same direction.    

    

The palace attendant found a spot for Chen Yu and the others. It wasn't too far from the Chengming Hall's entrance and it was rather far from the throne, so it obviously wasn't a very important spot. Of course, this was not worth being surprised about. While Feiyun Chamber of Commerce were indeed an astonishing amount of wealth that people coveted, in the eyes of the royal family, it was not worth paying attention to.    

    

Chen Yu and Qin Jiming sat at the same table, while Gongsun Zhiwei and Ling Yuxuan sat together.    

    

Chen Yu looked at the table and saw two exquisite wine jugs and two plates filled with spirit fruits. With just one glance, one could feel the pure spirit energy contained within.    

    

The moment he sat down, Chen Yu immediately grabbed a Spirit Peach and put it into his mouth. The peach juice that contained the fire element immediately melted in his mouth and flowed into his throat, making Chen Yu feel very comfortable.    

    

Grade two spirit fruit!    

    

Just the spirit fruits on each table were worth quite a bit. The Duke of Qin's birthday banquet would probably cost a huge sum.    

    

A plate of this kind of Tier 2 spiritual fruit did not mean much to Chen Yu. However, if he ate a few of them everyday, the benefits were still obvious. It could greatly improve his cultivation speed.    

    

However, there weren't many spirit fruits on the plate, so Chen Yu ate them all in a few bites.    

    

At the table, there was a maid standing there. Chen Yu waved at the maid.    

    

The maid immediately came over and gave him a blessing.    

    

"Anything else?" Chen Yu pointed to the empty fruit plate and asked.    

    

The maid was obviously stunned for a moment before nodding her head, "Please wait a moment, esteemed customer!" With that, he went to make the arrangements.    

    

Qin Jiming, who was sitting beside Chen Yu, twitched his face. He looked around to make sure that no one else was paying attention to him before saying, "President, please pay attention to your manners!"    

    

Chen Yu looked at Qin Jiming and asked, "What is elegance? "Can you eat it?"    

    

Qin Jiming's face sank as he berated in a low voice, "Meng Yang, you are the president of the Chamber of Commerce. Each and every action of yours represents the Chamber of Commerce. Do not lose face for the Chamber of Commerce!"    

    

Chen Yu smiled and said: "Second elder, I don't understand your words. Aren't we here to attend the banquet?" Since we're going to the banquet, shouldn't we enjoy the hospitality of the host? "    

    

"You …" Qin Jiming's face darkened as he turned his head and ignored Chen Yu.    

    

Gongsun Zhiwei and Ling Yuxuan, who were at the side, heard their conversation and looked over at Chen Yu.    

    

Gongsun Zhiwei revealed a gentle smile while Ling Yuxuan's eyes were indifferent.    

    

At this moment, the maid had returned with a new fruit plate in her hand, which she placed in front of Chen Yu.    

    

Chen Yu ate heartily without a trace of politeness. At the same time, he poured himself a glass of wine.    

    

While drinking and eating the spirit fruit, Chen Yu felt rather satisfied.    

    

Just then, a group of people entered the hall under the guidance of a palace attendant. They were none other than Jiang Family Jiang Yuyang, Jiang Yuzhen, and the others.    

    

Following which, more and more guests began to enter the Cheng Ming Palace.
