Chapter Ninety-Nine: His Majesty the Vermilion Bird (Fifteen)
With Murong Hua absent, the nine-tailed cat demon struck first, leaving Murong Yu speechless. After a long while, he reluctantly cupped his hands in greeting to Gu Yanjing.
"Kneel down." The cat demon lashed the ground with his whip, the sound deafening.
Murong Yu's expression grew even uglier: "His Majesty hasn't even spoken yet. You're just a little cat demon. What right do you have to make me kneel down? I am, after all, a Golden Core cultivator."
This cat demon really doesn't want to live anymore.
"Yuhe's intention is naturally my intention. What, do you think I am unworthy and worried that I cannot accept your kneeling?"
Lu Lingjun opened the carriage curtain, and Gu Yanjing was still lying there, casually playing with a green fruit.
With her stunning looks and domineering presence, she was indeed so beautiful that she dazzled everyone, making it impossible not to take a second look and feel inferior in comparison.
"Of course I dare not, Your Majesty." Murong Yu gritted his teeth, his face ashen, and knelt down, performing a grand salute to Gu Yanjing.
Mingya, who heard the commotion in the backyard, also came over, followed by Nan Wan'er and Gu Congxin.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Gu Yanjing was completely absorbed in his thoughts and didn't even glance at Murong Yu.
Murong Yu was in an even more embarrassing situation.
Many disciples around couldn't resist the pressure and knelt down as well.
Those who didn't know better might think this wasn't some puppet emperor, but rather a powerful ancestor who had transcended tribulation.
"Get up." Gu Yan nodded in surprise, gesturing for Mudan to help Mingya up.
As for the male lead, who cares?
"Is the palace where His Majesty resides ready?" Lu Lingjun, dressed in a purple eunuch's round-necked robe, jumped down from the carriage, holding a white whisk in his hand, which was quite fitting for the occasion.
However, such a handsome eunuch hardly looks like a eunuch.
He looked like a young nobleman who had dressed in the wrong clothes.
"We are ready. However, the Tianming Temple is too small to accommodate the three thousand Imperial Guards accompanying Your Majesty. Your Majesty might as well have the three thousand Imperial Guards wait at the foot of the mountain."
Murong Yu stood up and looked at Lu Lingjun, who was acting like a male concubine and bullying others, and his face darkened even more.
"How can there not be enough room? I've heard that the elders of the Tianming Sect can occupy an entire mountain and take in five thousand disciples. How come Your Majesty, as the ruler of Tianhuang Continent, can't you have a mountain to accommodate these three thousand Imperial Guards?"
Lu Lingjun waved his whisk, speaking in an imperious manner.
"Only a Supreme Lord at the Integration Stage can serve as the Elder of that Mountain. In Tianhuang Continent, martial arts are revered. If His Majesty cannot cultivate, how can he command respect? What right does he have to monopolize the land of my Tianming Sect?"
Murong Yu didn't speak, but he had a few lackeys. These lackeys were also the elders' sons. They looked righteous and pointed at Gu Yan in surprise.
However, a hint of covetousness and greed couldn't be hidden in his eyes.
Tsk tsk tsk, this little emperor may not be able to cultivate, but he has grown into a very healthy and strong man. I wonder if he will benefit from this.
Never mind, once we're up the mountain, we're at his mercy.
"I am not qualified, but you are, you piece of trash." Gu Yan sat up abruptly, his gaze falling on the lackey.
"You're the one..." The lackey opened his mouth to retort, but Lu Lingjun had already struck the lackey with a palm strike from a distance.
In an instant, the overwhelming pressure made all the children present tremble slightly, and even the older ones almost couldn't withstand it.
"Your Majesty is right. Besides, trash has no right to speak." Lu Lingjun, having crippled one person, slowly withdrew his hand, his expression calm and nonchalant, exuding an air of superiority.
