The officials, both civil and military, stared at Li Jing in a daze. Was their Yan Kingdom about to produce a true dragon?

It not only forged the legendary first-grade golden elixir.

He even killed a peak second-level Nascent Soul Realm expert with a single sword strike while only achieving minor success at the first level of the Golden Core Realm.

Doesn't that mean that if he were to reach the Nascent Soul Realm, even the Xuan Tian Sect Master, a Nascent Soul Realm expert, might not be able to withstand a single sword strike from him?

No wonder His Highness the Ninth Prince knew perfectly well that the disappearance of the Yan people was related to the Imperial City Guard, and that someone was practicing demonic arts.

They still dared to bring them to the inner palace to force the emperor to abdicate.

"Open the doors of the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

Li Jing said calmly.

"Yes, this old servant obeys."

Zhao Li responded and quickly stepped forward to the gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. He then used both hands to forcefully open the gate.

After the gates of the Hall of Mental Cultivation opened, Zhao Li saw the scene inside.

The entire Hall of Mental Cultivation was covered in dust, clearly indicating that no one had entered it for many years.

However, I just learned from Murong Qing that Emperor Li Chengfeng of Yan died ten years ago, so it's impossible for him to be in seclusion in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. I just want to confirm this now.

"Your Majesty, we pay our respects! Long live the Emperor!"

Only then did the officials realize what was happening. Led by Prime Minister Yu Shixiong, Imperial Guard General Dongfang Ming, and Capital Garrison General Zhang Zhentian, they knelt down before Li Jing and respectfully greeted him.

They looked up, their eyes filled with anticipation as they gazed at Li Jing.

Once Li Jing becomes emperor, and they have such an extraordinary emperor, will their Yan Kingdom rise to prominence in the entire Burial Ground of Immortals?

Even the Xuantian Sect, which is above the Yan Kingdom, should treat the Yan Kingdom with courtesy, right?
