Hong Yu was still pondering on what kind of support Li Muyue had, when suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from outside the hall, and a eunuch walked over.
He came in and read the decree without looking at it. "The place is full of people, but it is not a good place to be a saint," he said. "The Emperor has long instructed the servants where to set up the banquet to entertain everyone.
The eunuch's voice was not loud, but it was just right. Everyone could hear him clearly.
For some unknown reason, when they heard his voice, a chill ran through the hearts of everyone present.
This person was the Head Supervisor of the harem, Zhao Gao!
Many of the Immortal Dao cultivators and Chosen of the Hundred Clans were looking down on the mortal world as ants. However, when they saw this person, they couldn't help but hold their breaths, shock written all over their faces, and they gasped like mice that had seen a cat.
According to the rumors, the entire Yellow Springs Sect was singlehandedly attacked by Emperor Hong Wu, and almost the entire sect was annihilated. Only Sect Leader Zhao Huang Quan survived and became Emperor Hong Wu's subordinate, establishing the secret division of the imperial government, which was responsible for setting up dishes in the foreign lands, hundred clans, and various tribes of the Wilderness. They trained the assassin groups, spied the intelligence, beheaded and assassinated, just like Emperor Hong Wu who walked in the dark world … "
"I can't believe that the legend at the place where the sticky stick was placed is true. This organization really exists." Furthermore, I never would have thought that the grand master, who had inherited the supreme glory of the Ancient Daoist Huangquan, would willingly bow to Emperor Hongwu and become the eunuch general … " Hong Yu heard Luo Tian Xian, who was beside him, gasp and was extremely shocked in his heart.
It was like an explosion!
Those disciples couldn't calm down at all. It was as if they had seen a legendary figure.
This sect was one of the strongest sects among the three thousand sects, and was considered one of the strongest within the three thousand sects. As the leader of this sect, he was definitely at the peak of the divine ability, his spiritual ability was at the peak, and even being called the descendant of immortals was not an exaggeration. Many disciples were familiar with his achievements, and they had even heard of him as a legend.
The disciples that came to the feast were the elites of the sect and they were well-informed. There were even many old antiques accompanying them, which vaguely identified Chief Eunuch Zhao Gao's true identity.
Mysterious Yellow Springs Sect's Sect Leader Zhao Huangquan!
"Hehe!" Who would have thought that after so many years, there would still be someone who would recognize this old fogey?! Zhao Huangquan was dead, only the servant Zhao Gao was left. "The Netherworld Kingdom is ominous after all, and the name 'Zhao Gao' that the Emperor gave me sounds nice. Below one person, above tens of thousands of people, I am high above everyone else …"
"All of you are disciples of the Immortal Dao, heroes of the Hundred Families, and normally you lie in the nine layers of heaven, not under the control of the Emperor. But once you enter this palace, within the King, you have to pay attention to the etiquette rules of the Imperial Court. Let me remind all of you first, when you meet the Emperor later, it is best for you to retract your arrogance and not be disrespectful."
The moment he said this, many of the disciples' faces began to twitch. They were so angry that they almost couldn't control themselves, but they didn't dare to show it on the spot.
Even a fool would be able to tell at this moment that the eunuch in front of them was an unfathomably deep character. Normally, he did not reveal himself, but now that he had revealed himself, everyone immediately felt as if they had seen a ghost.
This Zhao Gao is unfathomable. His devil art covers the sky and the sun, and the qi and energy behind him are like the diagram of a Yellow Springs Flood Dragon, covering the sky. "Rumor has it that Daoist Netherworld once entered hell and saw the martial art that, in the end, created a picture of a Yellow Springs Flood Dragon. It is the source of all evil demonic arts …" At this time, Luo Tian Xian whispered to Hong Yu, warning him not to miss the opportunity to befriend this old eunuch and build a good relationship with him.
Hong Yu was speechless, and his heart was also shocked to the point that it couldn't be attached. He simply did not expect that the old eunuch who often served beside his father, who was as lowly as a speck of dust, like a shadow beside Emperor Hong Wu, with no feeling of existence, was actually the headmaster of the Three Thousand Immortals of ancient times.
The three thousand disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders were all looking down on the mortal world from a high vantage point. They were like the heavenly sons of the world of cultivators, the most sought after peak by countless disciples of the Transcendence Dao.
All of the disciples in the sect practiced demonic arts and were extremely domineering outside of the sect. They didn't seem like the sects of immortals and were more like the demon sects, especially the sect head of the Yellow Springs Martial School, who called himself the overlord of the nine netherworld, the Yellow Springs Great Emperor, devoured mountains and rivers, and was the ancestor of all demons and ghosts.
Hong Yu was no longer like Amon in the past. His cultivation had increased tremendously and he was also studying the ancient texts. His knowledge and experience had deepened. He already knew many of the foreign secrets and the realm that the Sect Leader of the Three Thousand Mysterious Gate was in.
Although these characters had outstanding talents, they were only considered an elite disciple within the three thousand mysterious sects. Perhaps they could be considered to be true disciples, but in front of the Sect Leader of a faction, they were nothing more than ants in the face of Emperor Hong Wu. They were nothing more than small shrimps.
At this moment, Hong Yu was also able to tell that the Ancient Era's 3000 Immortal Path's headmaster had personally sent out to suppress these unruly and unruly Immortal Dao disciples. In the eyes of Emperor Hong Wu, this was a small fry.
A single Luotian Immortal was already unfathomable, but he was definitely much stronger than Servant Qi. Also, there was also the second brother, Jian Jiu, who was standing beside Hong Futian, and was also a character with extraordinary strength. If such a character were to do evil, it would easily cause a massacre in the city, and there was also the young man beside Hong Lingtian, who was also a mysterious genius from a great legacy, someone who was comparable to those of the same generation.
This group of people were not easy to deal with. Even the worst among them was her lifeless mother. A master at the level of the Vacuum Monk could easily turn a region into a land of demons and floating corpses for thousands of miles. Not to mention the power behind them.
However, at this very moment, when Zhao Gao appeared, Hong Yu could vaguely smell the scent. He seemed to have seen Emperor Hong Wu borrowing Zhao Gao's words to tell the Celestial Immortal of the Celestial Gate who was far away in the Wasteland and the other Hundred Families hidden in the wilderness, "You are all nothing but ants, it is not up to me to personally take action."
This was indeed the case. The ones who needed the Hong Wu Emperor to personally act were naturally the Evil Gods of Hell. They were truly high and mighty gods that commanded myriad devils.
It was as if the imperial government had already engaged in a battle with the 3000 Immortal Daos in the Wasteland without making a sound. From the looks of it, the imperial government had won this battle. The moment Zhao Gao appeared, countless disciples were all shocked and bowed their heads, not daring to act rashly.
Even if the other three thousand disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders saw Zhao Gao, they would most likely only be able to call him Fellow Daoist, not to mention these disciples.
Under Zhao Gao's lead, although the group felt very awkward and strange, they still followed closely. They did not dare to make any small movements, much less whisper in each other's ears.
After passing through layers of red walls and red tiles, he arrived at the Han Chan Palace.
Silence!
This was the first impression one would get from the palace in front of them.
There were hundreds of palace maids and eunuchs bustling about, but without a single word, their footsteps could not even make the slightest sound. It was extremely strange, as many tables were placed in the middle of the hall and there was wine and spirit fruit on the table. All of them were emitting a sweet fragrance.
However, how could these disciples have the mind to care about such things? They all focused on Zhao Gao.
This old eunuch in front of him was no ordinary figure; he was a true Immortal Dao grandmaster. Even if an ancient figure from the Three Thousand Immortal Path appeared, he would still have to lower his head. To deal with this old eunuch, he would need at least dozens of sect heads. The Grand Elder would set up a grand formation and surround him, then spend time to slowly suppress him.
If the old eunuch in front of them was not straightforward and wanted to deal with these ordinary disciples, it would be as easy as slapping a knife on tofu. In the blink of an eye, he would be killed.
Facing him, many disciples didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
While gesturing for everyone to find a seat, Zhao Gao stood at the center of the hall, next to the high throne. His hands were hidden deep within the sleeves of his robe, just like an old servant waiting for his master to appear.
"The emperor has arrived!"
At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out!
It was Emperor Hongwu who had arrived. He walked out from the back of the palace and sat down on the throne!
"This son greets royal father!"
All the princes bowed, but they did not kneel!
This was a common practice. Emperor Hong Wu did not like people kowtowing to him.
Ignoring his sons, Emperor Hongwu's gaze swept across the great hall before finally stopping on those immortal disciples. A thunderous voice exploded in everyone's ears, "Outsider of the Mountain Transformation Sect, why don't you pay your respects?"
Originally, many of the disciples had wanted to bow like the princes, but upon hearing these words, they immediately hesitated. Emperor Hong Wu wanted them to kneel and bow before him.
Bowing or not?
"The disciple of the Grand Moon Sect, Immortal Luo, kowtows to the Emperor." In the end, it was Allheaven who stepped forward.
With her taking the lead, all of the disciples immediately left their seats and kowtowed to pay their respects. Even if they were unwilling to accept it, they could only kneel down in front of the crowd, because they knew that Emperor Hong Wu was trying to suppress their might and their pride as Immortals, but they could do nothing about it. Not to mention how frightening Zhao Gao was, the most terrifying person among them was the legendary Celestial Emperor Hong Wu.
Hong Yu was also able to see that his father was using his power to demoralize these disciples.
