The following morning, as preparations were in full swing at the Biyun Palace for the new emperor's enthronement ceremony, a group of the Sixth Princes were preparing to make their move in an inconspicuous corner of the palace.
"What incredible luck! To be able to visit the legendary palace of the Xuan Tian Empress is sure to impress everyone."
"The Azure Cloud Palace is so ethereal and transcendent. I imagine it contains countless treasures. Even if we only find a tiny bit of good fortune, it will bring us endless benefits."
"So, does this mean I have a chance to break through to the Soul Sea Realm?"
"You flowery monk, can't you use your imagination a little more? You can break through a major realm, and reaching the peak of the Soul Sea realm is not a dream."
"Alright, stop talking. Time is of the essence. Let's go find the Empress's private treasury while everyone is away."
Liang Hao, Ding Bu'er, and Fahai, the three old men, disguised themselves as vegetable deliverymen and secretly infiltrated Biyun Palace in order to take revenge on Tianjue Holy Land and Mu Qiuyao, determined to plunder Mu Qiuyao's private treasury.
If possible, they also plan to dig up the ancestral tombs of the Immortal Dynasty and scatter them into the sea.
The three immediately got to work, with a clear division of labor. They took out the Luoyang shovels they had found in Shen Zhao's room in Qingyang City from their storage bags, intending to dig a tunnel directly to the Empress's private treasury.
After a flurry of activity, it was fortunate that the palace's attention was focused on setting up the venue. Otherwise, the commotion caused by digging a tunnel in broad daylight would have been enough to trigger a nationwide riot, turning them into a negative example for the Northern Region, who would then be severely criticized and hung on the pillar of shame.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Feng Xiunian, who had been offline for dozens of chapters, and He Yishou knocked out two guards and threw them into the latrine. Then they changed into their clothes and stood openly at the outer palace gate collecting tolls.
"Stop! What are you doing!"
"The Hall of Ten Thousand Beasts has come to witness Sect Master Ning's coronation ceremony and presents a bottle of White Tiger Pills and three drops of Beast King's Spirit Blood..."
"No matter who you are, if you want to see His Majesty, you must show your sincerity!"
"What sincerity?"
"One hundred high-grade spirit stones per person!"
"Are you trying to blackmail me? I'll say it again, we are disciples of the Hall of Ten Thousand Beasts, invited to attend the new emperor's enthronement ceremony!"
"What? You broke down after just a few words? So what if it's the Hall of Ten Thousand Beasts? I can wipe it out with a wave of my hand!"
Upon hearing this, the members of the Beast Hall immediately unleashed a fierce killing intent.
How can a mere ant in the Spirit Gathering Realm be so powerful?
He Yishou, who was standing next to him, glanced at them and couldn't help but exclaim inwardly, "Good heavens, none of these eight people are below the third rank of the Soul Sea Realm."
As for himself and Feng Xiunian, who were merely sixth-grade cultivators at the Spirit Gathering Realm, they could only find their presence in the sewers of the cultivation world. If it really came down to a fight, Feng Xiunian could wipe them out hundreds of times with just a finger.
But Feng Xiunian was not afraid at all. Facing these menacing disciples of the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall, he simply let out a heavy snort, accompanied by the heavy slamming of his dozens of kilograms spear into the ground!
"What's going on? Is the Hall of Ten Thousand Beasts planning to sabotage the new emperor's territory? Come on, if you have the guts, try it. I want to see if you have the courage to offend the new emperor of the Immortal Dynasty!"
He then leaned his neck in, looking like he was saying, "Go ahead and chop me if you dare."
The disciples of the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall were trembling with anger and were about to make a move when they were suddenly stopped by an old man with white hair: "Enough, this is the Azure Cloud Immortal Palace, not the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall."
"But Master, this guy..."
"Shut up!"
The old man stopped them from continuing, then took out a high-grade spirit stone and handed it to Feng Xiunian, saying, "Young friend, you are only at the Gathering Spirit Realm. You should be more humble. Please accept this high-grade spirit stone and let us in."
Feng Xiunian accepted the high-grade spirit stones, but still said in a serious tone, "Old Daoist, you are quite pragmatic. However, letting you pass like this would be against my principles."
The old man frowned: "What? Isn't one high-grade spirit stone enough? I advise you not to be greedy."
Feng Xiunian's face darkened: "What, are you planning to take advantage of your age? Let me tell you, it wasn't me who decided to charge you tolls, but Lin Feng, the future husband of our Immortal Dynasty's Empress!"
He Yishou immediately added, "This is what you call the refined governance of the new dynasty, do you understand?"
The old man took a deep breath, then said with a forced smile, "Gentlemen, we left in a hurry and didn't bring this many spirit stones with us. Could you please do us a favor? The Ten Thousand Beasts Hall will definitely reward you handsomely later."
“No! This is a rule set by the new emperor’s husband. It has only just been implemented. What if we are punished if something goes wrong?” Feng Xiunian said with a troubled expression.
The old man immediately took out a bag of spirit stones and said, "Please forgive me, young friend. My Ten Thousand Beasts Hall has always been on good terms with the Immortal Dynasty, and your new emperor is the beloved disciple of the late emperor. I think he will not make things difficult for you."
"This... let me think about it."
Feng Xiunian, holding the storage bag, exchanged a glance with He Yishou. The two pretended to argue for a while, then walked dejectedly to the old man.
"Fine, everyone has their difficulties when they go out. I'll be bold and let you pass today, but this is the last time. Get out of here before anyone notices."
Thank you!
Without lingering, the old man immediately gave a wink to the disciples of the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall behind him and went straight into the palace gate.
As soon as they left, Feng Xiunian and He Yishou beamed with joy.
"In just a short while, we've earned two hundred high-grade spirit stones, which is equivalent to our monthly income in Qingyang City."
"It's a pity it's just a one-off deal. If I could stay here for four or five years, I could at least achieve two or three small goals."
"It has to be said that those from major sects are truly wealthy, far beyond what those from small, insignificant families can compare to."
"That's right, one 'shuang' only costs 208 spirit stones, but this one deal just now brought in several hundred 'shuang'."
