"Fine. I'm bored anyway. You know how it is—when people are bored and see an ant jumping around, they can't help but want to stomp on it."
The Shangguan sisters were instantly overjoyed. Although they didn't know exactly what level Gu Qingfeng's strength had reached, the fact that he could make a Great Luo Golden Immortal pull his carriage meant the Promise Sect was nothing more than an ant in comparison.
Although the Promise Sect was one of the top sects in the upper reaches of the Star River, their strongest cultivator was merely at the Golden Immortal realm.
Beings at the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal resided at the source of the Star River.
"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!" The two sisters felt reassured and immediately began cultivating with even greater dedication.
After their cultivation was complete, Gu Qingfeng asked, "By the way, what is Li Qianji's cultivation level?"
"According to legends, he should be a Mystic Immortal," Shangguan Qing replied.
"Mystic Immortal?" Gu Qingfeng frowned. "What kind of immortal is a Mystic Immortal? I've never heard of it. This Emperor only recognizes Great Luo Golden Immortals."
Shangguan Qing: "..."
Jiang Li, who was eavesdropping outside, twitched her lips. She hadn't expected this demon to be arrogant to such an extent.
Everyone knew the Immortal realms were divided into: Loose Immortal, True Immortal, Earth Immortal, Heaven Immortal, Mystic Immortal, Golden Immortal, Great Luo Golden Immortal, and Immortal King.
Yet this demon claimed he had never heard of Mystic Immortals and only recognized Great Luo Golden Immortals.
So, in your eyes, anyone below the Great Luo level doesn't even count as an immortal?
Upon hearing "Mystic Immortal," Gu Qingfeng truly lost all interest. He couldn't even be bothered to devour such meager power.
Since when could a tiny Mystic Immortal be so arrogant, threatening to destroy a country over a concubine?
In reality, this was mainly because Gu Qingfeng had interacted with too many Immortal Kings. He had killed the heirs of Immortal Kings and treated the newly ascended Immortal King Old Gu like a brother. Consequently, he had long since ceased to regard anyone below the Great Luo level.
Fine. I'll just destroy the Promise Sect to attract the attention of the Star Extreme Immortal Dynasty and let the Divine Martial Marquis come to me. I'm too lazy to go look for him.
"Hey, Groom Jiang, did you hear that? Hurry up and set off for the Feathering Immortal Dynasty."
Groom Jiang?!
Jiang Li almost exploded with rage, but she held it back. Circumstances were stronger than people.
Thus, Groom Jiang took Gu Qingfeng and the others toward the Feathering Immortal Dynasty.
It had to be said, a carriage pulled by a Great Luo Golden Immortal was fast. They arrived at their destination just a few days later.
Upon arriving at the Feathering Immortal Dynasty, the two anxious daughters immediately led Gu Qingfeng to the palace to save their father.
At the palace gates, the guards were about to stop them, but upon seeing who it was, their expressions changed drastically, followed by wild joy.
"Princess Qing, Princess Wan, you're finally back! His Majesty has ordered that once we see your highnesses, we must immediately bring you to the palace. Please, follow this lowly one quickly."
Subsequently, under the guard's guidance, the three entered the palace without obstruction and successfully met the Emperor of the Feathering Immortal Dynasty, Shangguan Qi.
"Father, are you alright?" Shangguan Qing looked at her aged father with agitation.
Who would have thought...
Emperor Shangguan Qi flew into a rage and slammed the table. "You two unfilial daughters, you still know how to come back! Do you know that Young Master Li Qianji has already dispatched an army and is on his way to our Feathering Immortal Dynasty! It is because you two left without saying goodbye that the Feathering Immortal Dynasty is in imminent danger. You two scoundrels! How could I have given birth to daughters like you!"
As Shangguan Qi spoke, he suddenly looked at Gu Qingfeng standing nearby. Seeing his unparalleled handsomeness and extraordinary bearing, a bad premonition welled up in his heart.
He hurriedly turned to look at Shangguan Qing and Shangguan Wan'er. Sure enough, he discovered that both had lost their Primal Yin. His expression changed drastically, and he bolted up from the dragon throne.
"You two are no longer chaste!?"
His face instantly turned pale, and he collapsed back onto the dragon throne. "It's over! It's all over! How am I supposed to explain this to Young Master Li Qianji! The Feathering Immortal Dynasty will cease to exist."
Then, a heaven-shaking killing intent erupted from Shangguan Qi's eyes, directed straight at Gu Qingfeng.
"Was it you!? Was it you, you pretty boy, who did this!"
The Shangguan sisters' faces changed instantly. "Father! Stop! We have already acknowledged him as our master. Furthermore, Master came here this time to..."
Before she could finish, she was interrupted by Shangguan Qi's furious roar. "What!? You acknowledged him as master? The dignified princesses of the Feathering Immortal Dynasty actually acknowledged a mere Earth Immortal as master!? You two cheap sluts, you have simply humiliated the Feathering Immortal Dynasty's..."
"How noisy." A faint, cold snort rang out.
The voice wasn't loud, but it resonated through the hall like thunder.
"What!" Shangguan Qi was furious. His tiger-like eyes stared dead at Gu Qingfeng, like a lion about to eat someone.
"I don't know who sent you to ruin the innocence of these two sluts and try to doom my Feathering Immortal Dynasty, but! I am still the Emperor of the Feathering Immortal Dynasty. The palace is not a place where a tiny Earth Immortal like you can act wild! Men!"
Crash!
A large group of black-armored guards instantly poured in from all directions. These imperial guards were all at the peak of the Earth Immortal realm, and the leading generals were even Heaven Immortal powerhouses.
Gu Qingfeng laughed when he saw this. It had been a long time since he had seen such weak ants.
He ignored the imperial guards surrounding him and walked step by step toward Shangguan Qi.
Shangguan Qi sneered, laughing at Gu Qingfeng's ignorance of death.
He waved his hand. "Take him down!"
Boom!
Various colors of immortal light emerged from the imperial guards as they lunged at Gu Qingfeng.
However...
"Kneel."
An indifferent voice spread throughout the audience. The voice was not loud, but it sounded like the voice of the Great Dao, like an eternal God Emperor speaking the law.
Thump thump...
All the imperial guards knelt on the ground in unison, as if they had rehearsed it. Their faces were pale, cold sweat streamed down, and they couldn't even lift their heads, as if a mountain were pressing down on them.
Tap, tap, tap...
Only Gu Qingfeng's footsteps echoed in the silent hall.
At this moment, Shangguan Qi had long since collapsed onto the dragon throne. As a peak Heaven Immortal powerhouse, if not for the support of the throne, he would likely be kneeling on the ground like the imperial guards.
Even so, apart from his eyes darting around in terror, he couldn't move a single finger.
Who exactly was this man before him!?
To suppress a group of Heaven Immortals so they couldn't lift their heads relying solely on his aura.
Finally, Gu Qingfeng walked up to Shangguan Qi. A massive shadow engulfed him. Meeting those eyes that resembled those of a demon god, Shangguan Qi felt the shadow of death this close for the first time.
He wanted to beg for mercy, but the immense pressure prevented him from saying a single word; only cold sweat flowed.
"Master, don't!"
At this moment, Shangguan Qing sobbed from the side.
"I beg you, Master, please don't be angry. Don't kill him. He is my father, after all."
"Sister! Don't plead for him. We came all this way to save him, but he called us cheap sluts and attacked Master without distinguishing right from wrong!"
"You! Wan'er, say what you will, but he is still our Imperial Father! No matter how many faults he may have, he is your own flesh and blood!"
Seeing that the two sisters were on the verge of a vicious catfight—reenacting some cliché soap opera drama—Gu Qingfeng grew impatient.
"Enough. Shut up, all of you."
Immediately after, he reached out toward Shangguan Qi, paying absolutely no heed to Shangguan Qing's tearful cries.
He grabbed Shangguan Qi by the collar and casually tossed him aside.
Shangguan Qi flew through the air like a cannonball, slamming violently into one of the great hall's stone pillars.
Gu Qingfeng then sat upon the Dragon Throne with an air of nonchalance. He spoke indifferently, "This Emperor wouldn't go so far as to get angry over a mere ant. I simply am not accustomed to people standing while speaking to me.
Now that everyone is kneeling, it looks much more pleasing to the eye."
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
