Ye Chen saw that it was a tall old man wearing a golden robe with fire clouds on it. His long pale hair was hanging down and he had a short beard under his chin. Although he looked old, he gave people a feeling of infinite vitality, especially his eyes, which were not cloudy like those of ordinary old men, but bright and energetic.
It was obvious that this old man was not an ordinary person, and he seemed to have a feeling of floating in the air.
When the fifth elder saw the old man, his expression immediately became respectful and fawning. He hurried forward and bowed, saying respectfully, "Welcome to the Grand Master..."
Is he the Grand Master of the Blazing Sun Divine Kingdom?
Ye Chen was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at the old man again with a fierce look in his eyes.
"Are you the Grand Master of the Blazing Sun Divine Nation?"
Upon hearing this, the Fifth Elder scolded, "Who gave you the courage to be so presumptuous in front of the Grand Master? Why don't you kneel down immediately?"
As he spoke, he was about to attack Ye Chen again.
However, after seeing the Grand Master waving his hand, the Fifth Elder retreated obediently again and stood aside.
The Grand Master immediately looked at Ye Chen and said slowly, "You seem to have resentment towards me?"
"Stop talking nonsense and leave Aunt Nuanyang to me."
Ye Chen was straightforward and didn't want to get too involved with the other party. He felt that this person was very cunning, so he didn't want to negotiate with him too much.
The Grand Master sighed, his eyes filled with compassion. He said calmly, "Forgive me for what I have said, but I cannot hand Nuan Yang over to you. If you truly wish to see her, you can come to the capital of the Blazing Sun Divine Kingdom in three months. Perhaps you will be able to meet her at the grand ceremony on that day."
"Why is it Tianhua's day? What are you going to do to her?"
Ye Chen asked coldly.
The Grand Master said, "You will know when the time comes... Whether Nuan Yang is the princess of the Blazing Sun Kingdom or not, you will know for yourself during the celebration that day!"
"Grand Master, what on earth are you plotting? Just because you question her identity as a princess, you're detaining her in the royal city? Since you don't recognize her as a princess, why bother releasing her? Why are you going through all this trouble?"
"You don't need to know this. This matter concerns the royal bloodline, so I must be extremely cautious and serious. I must not allow outsiders to take the title of princess. Otherwise, I would be unworthy of the late emperor's instructions and the expectations of the hundreds of millions of people in my Blazing Sun Divine Kingdom..."
The Grand Master spoke slowly with a look of sorrow in his eyes.
However, this atmosphere was directly broken by Ye Chen, who sneered, "Put away your hypocritical and compassionate face, it makes me feel sick. You keep saying that you are doing this for the royal family and for the people, but you are imprisoning a woman. What kind of virtue are you accumulating, what kind of kindness are you doing?
You claim to be doing this for the royal family and the late emperor, but the Blazing Sun Divine King has been dead for so long, and you still haven't investigated the exact cause of his death, nor do you know who his enemies are. On the surface, you're maintaining order in the Blazing Sun Divine Kingdom after the Divine King's death, but in reality, you're subtly seizing control of the entire kingdom into your own hands!
These words made the Grand Master's face darken. He looked at Ye Chen coldly and asked, "Are you finished?"
"You're not finished yet! Where are we going now?"
Ye Chen pointed at the Grand Master's nose and continued to curse, "You just want to support the young son of the Divine King to ascend the throne, so that you can continue to control the government as your Grand Master. You old thief has a good plan. You want to control the country while preserving your hypocritical image of caring about the country and the people. You want it all! You are called the Grand Master, but you are actually a traitor to the country!"
“That’s enough!!”
The Grand Master's face darkened completely, and he roared in a deep voice.
The five elders on the side were so frightened that they immediately knelt down, with cold sweat on their foreheads. They looked at their noses and their hearts, pretending that they heard nothing... Although everyone in the court had such speculations and complaints, who really dared to reveal this in front of the Grand Master?
But Ye Chen still refused to give in and continued to curse, "Old man, are you angry because I said my true feelings? If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself! Let me guess your real intention in imprisoning Aunt Nuanyang... You are simply worried that after Aunt Nuanyang, the real princess, is announced to the world, she will not be controlled for many years like the youngest son of the God King, and you are worried that there will be complications.
Although the eight royal families of your Blazing Sun Kingdom are powerful, they each harbor ulterior motives. If they had supported Princess Nuanyang to ascend to the throne, your life as the Grand Master would certainly not have been as comfortable as it is now. Am I right, old traitor?"
The Grand Master said coldly, "You are talking nonsense! I am now the Grand Master, second only to the emperor and above all others. Even if Nuan Yang takes the throne, what difference does it make? I am still the Grand Master!"
"Do you admit that you're worried about Nuan Yang taking over?"
Ye Chen looked at the Grand Master with a sneer, which made the latter stunned.
Before the latter could recover from his shock, Ye Chen continued, "It's true that you are the Grand Master, but who knows what conspiracies and schemes you are secretly planning? An old man as cunning and vicious as you sold out the entire kingdom of God for your own selfish interests without blinking an eye. Even your compassionate appearance can make those you sold out feel grateful!
"An old traitor like you, who is so unkind, unjust, disloyal and unfilial, is still able to serve as the national teacher. Are all the God Kings of the Blazing Sun Kingdom blind? If I were one of the eight royal families of the Blazing Sun Kingdom, I would first unite and eliminate you, the old traitor!"
"Shut up right there!!"
The Grand Master let out a low roar, and his palms turned into claws. The space was torn apart wherever he passed, and he grabbed Ye Chen fiercely.
In an instant, Ye Chen felt that the space around him solidified, as if his entire body was solidified in cement, and he could hardly move at all.
Just as the Grand Master's claw that could tear apart space was about to hit his body, the space beside Ye Chen suddenly tore open, and an ice sword with a cold aura stabbed fiercely at the former's claw.
Click!
The sword and palm collided in front of Ye Chen. There was no explosion as imagined, only the sound of a collision as small as a mosquito. However, the space within a radius of a thousand feet suddenly collapsed silently at this moment, like a mirror shattered on the ground.
The Grand Master's expression changed and he immediately withdrew his hand and retreated.
Immediately afterwards, everyone saw a stunning beauty holding a three-foot ice blade, slowly walking out of the void.
She was dressed in Ice Phoenix court robes and wore the Mysterious Ice King Crown on her head. Her perfect oval face was now filled with a cold glint in her phoenix eyes, and the teardrop mole at the corner of her eye added a touch of charm to her.
She parted her red lips slightly, and a majestic female voice echoed between heaven and earth:
"Grand Master, you even dare to touch my people. You are so bold!"
