Chapter 1066: Princesses And Consort

The palace was already busy at dawn. Fog and smoke lingered in the air, making it look like an immortal paradise.

Armored guards patrolled both the air and the ground. Members of the sacred guard riding stallions and wielding red spears maintained orders.

"Brother Xiao, will demons actually come for the feast?" Feiyun crossed his hands and stared at a towering palace being carried by strange skeletal beasts. It cast a large shadow on the ground.

"Yes, they're sending experts here, not just one race either. Big shots from other dynasties are coming too. The lord has friends everywhere and some of them are monstrous cultivators. This will be an unforgettable event. Sir Feng, take advantage of this to increase your fame." Xiao Bailang smiled.

Feiyun nodded in agreement. It looked like Azure Lord has made ample preparation and invited enough visitors to be witnesses for his coronation.

It might actually happen today!

Will the hidden experts from the Long make their move as well?

This was absolutely the calm before the storm. Currents were flowing everywhere in Sacred Court and all of Sixth Central.

As the sun showed up, its warm rays shined on the exquisite statue hanging by Feiyun's waist.

It shook a bit and so did Feiyun's Ascension Platform inside his dantian. A strand of soul flew out and entered the statue.

Its appearance turned from Hongyan into Long Jiangling again.

'As long as my dao heart is alive, so will my soul. I shall be back.' The statue resembled an empress as it whispered.

Feiyun didn't know the changes in his dantian but heard something resembling a mantra.

He hurriedly checked the statue and saw that it was still the same as before.

"Supreme, did you say something?" He asked.

"No? I'm just enjoying the sunlight, it's so comforting." Supreme smiled and said.

Feiyun frowned. He clearly heard Long Jiangling earlier. Wasn't she completely dead?

'Right, she left a strand of soul in the Ascension Platform after carving her name on the tablet.' He immediately observed the situation in his dantian but still saw her soul on the platform.

He heaved a sigh of relief but still felt worried as if he had forgotten something important.

"Sir Feng, is everything alright?" Xiao Bailang asked.

"It's nothing." Feiyun responded.

"The palace is still close to visitors, still another four hours. How about I prepare you a place to rest for now?" Bailang suggested.

"That's fine, it was a busy night last night so I do want to meditate for a bit."

Xiao Bailang was one of the three captains of Sacred Court, being the leader of several hundred thousand guards.

Now, since his "master" was only a puppet, he wielded some real authority and prepared a palace for Feiyun.

The name of the palace was Auspicious. After taking Feiyun here, he left right away since he had many matters to attend to.

Feiyun naturally didn't want to meditate. He sat on the master chair and stared at the three beauties in the center.

His eyes stopped on the one in the middle: "Consort..."

"Your servant greets you..." The consort hurriedly got on her knees.

She no longer had the aura of a noble and resembled a lowly slave.

Feiyun was surprised for a moment before shaking his head and smiling. He walked forward and raised her chin to take a good look at her face - exquisite nose and perfect skin. Her red lips trembled, clearly afraid of Feiyun.

"Tell me, where is the Sacred Lord?" He said.

"I... I don't know." Her teeth chattered, not wanting to die.

Those from Heaven Restoration were devils in their eyes.

He tapped her cheek and felt its softness with his fingers: "Don't be afraid, Venerable Consort. I only wish to see your lord. Tell me and I'll release you right now."

"I, I really don't know. Please, please don't send me to the army camp, I'll be your slave!" She stammered.

"How do you not know where the lord is? Do you take me for a fool?" Feiyun's eyes turned cold.

"I've only been selected three days ago and never met the lord, please forgive your slave." The consort begged.

He could tell that she wasn't lying and became disappointed. He turned toward the two princesses and said: "Little one, come over here.

"I don't know anything..." The elegant princess was horrified. She was only fourteen and the gruesome scenes in the prison traumatized her.

Her slightly-budding bosoms heaved up and down. Something warm streamed down between her legs - she had peed herself from fear.

Feiyun put on his most friendly smile and came closer: "Little Princess, tell me which palace the Sacred Lord is staying at. Don't lie to me now, you are his favorite daughter."

Alas, the smile didn't win him any favor and only scared her even more. She fainted afterward.

"Villain, torture me instead, spare the young princess." Orchid Princess from a side branch coldly uttered.

She was the strongest among the three. Thus, her mental fortitude kept her going unlike the other two.

He got in front of her and took a deep breath to appreciate her fragrance: "I heard you are the prettiest member of the royal clan and even joined Ganges Lineage to train. Unfortunately, you're still too weak, Azure Faction can do whatever they want to you including making you my bitch. Only strength matters, not status or beauty. Tell me where the Sacred Lord is and maybe I can spare you from this fate."

She couldn't retort because he was merely telling the truth. She was once the pride of the royal clan and surrounded by young geniuses. However, not a single one stood up for her as she was taken away by the guards.

"Who are you?" Nonetheless, she sensed something strange in his intention.

He naturally couldn't tell her everything. What if they were agents ordered by Azure Lord to test him?

It was best to be careful after being dragged into this mess.

He posed with both hands behind his back and looked up in the air: "One hour left, don't waste time or after tonight, the Long is finished."

"The lord's chamber is Pinnacle located in the trigram position of Sacred Court. It is heavily guarded now, I'm sure, after the purge. Who are you, why do you insist on meeting him?"

"Pinnacle." Feiyun murmured and smirked. He turned toward the three and said: "Play nice and wait here. Of course, you can't escape this place anyway, keke."

Despite saying this, he still ordered the turtle and sacred fruit to watch them.

He left the palace and put on his dragon-phoenix robe, disappearing from sight. He headed for Pinnacle Palace and found that due to the feast, patrolling guards have been ordered away from this place.

It wasn't long before he came to the right area. However, he sensed many powerful auras here surrounding the palace.
