Chapter 377
Chapter 377
In the past, True Martial Academy was considered an otherworldly place. The students inside were protected by the academy, but it was no longer the same from now on.
The new royal family was too domineering. They had already begun to strengthen their control over the various factions in the nine states and had already achieved remarkable results.
Mu Ziyu was Vice Principal Qi's disciple and a direct descendant of the Azure Wood Manor. She knew how sensitive the situation was.
Huangfu Wuji's domineering might had already suppressed the various factions to the point of no resistance. In the next five to ten years, the ruling power of the new royal family would become even more terrifying as time passed.
Under such circumstances, they had no other choice but to swallow the insult.
In the Kunlun continent, with the demise of the two behemoths, the Heartland royal family and the Celestial Court, there was no one that dared to directly oppose the Huangfu family …
The entire world gathered in the Royal Palace Square as Huangfu Wuji accepted the tributes and kowtows from all directions. He revealed a satisfied smile.
"Haha Jie, we have finally reached this step … What a pity, is there nothing fun to do?"
The Man with a bamboo hat stood in a corner of the square in the shadows. His eyes were filled with disappointment.
He was Huangfu Wuji's right-hand man, but at this most glorious moment, he chose to hide in the shadows.
Huangfu Wuji was giving a speech as the new emperor on the platform, announcing a brand new national policy.
Behind him, Crown Prince Huangfu Li was the closest, followed by a few of his brothers.
Behind Huangfu Li was his eldest grandson, Huangfu Qingxuan.
Huangfu Qingxuan followed closely behind his father. Like the other members of the Huangfu family, his face was filled with pride and excitement.
From this moment onwards, they were officially members of the royal family!
The entire world was theirs!
"Your Majesty, please receive the Kingdom Guarding Seal and issue the first imperial edict."
An old eunuch stepped forward. Behind him, two eunuchs held a silver tray as they solemnly came to Huangfu Wuji's side.
On the silver tray was an exquisite jade box, and in the box was the Kingdom Guarding Seal.
It was said that the Kingdom Guarding Seal was carved from beautiful jade that the first Dragon Emperor chanced upon in the Endless Ocean. It had been passed down for ten thousand years.
Every edict issued by an emperor had to be stamped with the seal to take effect.
To the cultivators of the Kunlun Continent, the symbol of the Middle Earth royal family was the Kunlun Thearch Sword and the Kunlun Mirror. In the eyes of ordinary people, the Country Guarding Jade Seal, which was carved from the world's most beautiful jade, represented the noble royal power.
Huangfu Wuji took down the jade box from the silver plate. According to the ceremony of a new emperor ascending to the throne, he was going to issue his first imperial edict, and the first imperial edict was usually a general amnesty.
To him, the imperial seal was nothing more than a beautiful piece of jade. He didn't care about it at all. At this moment, he casually opened the box and was about to take out the imperial seal.
Through the Water Mirror Stone, countless people in the Nine States were paying close attention to the new Emperor's action of taking out the National Jade Seal.
The jade box was opened in an instant. Huangfu Wuji looked inside and his expression suddenly changed.
Pa!
He was so shocked that the jade box fell to the ground and the Imperial Jade Seal rolled out!
"What happened?"
"What happened?"
Regardless of whether it was in the square of the Imperial City or all over the Land of the Nine Prefectures, everyone who was paying attention to the actions of the new Emperor was shocked.
What did the new Emperor see? He actually dropped the imperial seal on the ground. This was not an auspicious sign!
Soon, through the image transmitted by the Water Mirror Stone, everyone could clearly see the appearance of the imperial seal on the ground.
It turned out to be a head!
A head with disheveled hair and a hideous face!
It wasn't the imperial seal at all!
Hua —
Countless people were in an uproar at this moment. The faces of the civil and military officials in the square also changed at this moment!
"Fourth brother!"
"Father!"
Behind Huangfu Wuji, a group of people from the Huangfu Family recognized the appearance of the head. When they realized that it was the head of Huangfu De, who had been missing for half a year, they couldn't help but cry out.
Especially Huangfu De's children, their eyes instantly popped out of their sockets!
"What's going on? Who's joking with me! "
Huangfu Wuji was originally in a good mood, but when he saw his son's head, his expression instantly became extremely ugly and he shouted angrily.
"Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty, please calm down! "
Several eunuchs who were responsible for transporting the imperial seal were so scared that their faces turned pale. They knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
In the entire square of the imperial city, the sound of cultivators gasping resounded one after another.
"Who did this? To actually use Huangfu De's head as an imperial seal and give it to Huangfu Wuji …"
"Which force is so crazy? Is there still anyone in the mainland who dares to go against the Huangfu Family?"
All the big shots from the various forces were shocked. For the past few months, everyone had been suppressed by the strength of the Huangfu Family to the point that they couldn't breathe and were trembling with fear. They didn't expect that someone would actually dare to do such a crazy thing!
"Huangfu Wuji, are you satisfied with the first big gift I've given you?"
Just as the square fell into a strange silence, a cold and ethereal voice rang out, echoing throughout the entire capital!
"Who? Who is it? "
Everyone raised their heads and looked around, wanting to know which crazy fellow did such a thing.
"This voice …"
Shen Xudong, who was the leader of the officials, was shocked, and his face revealed a deep worry.
"Since you're here, then get out!"
Huangfu Wuji's red eyes shone brightly, and a peerlessly overbearing pressure swept out!
Boom, boom, boom!
The winds and clouds in the sky changed color. Above the square, the void suddenly distorted, and a group of people appeared!
There were a total of 67 people in this group, and all of them were wearing white robes of the Celestial Court. Eleven of them were wearing masks, and only the leader of the group showed his real face!
That person was tall and handsome, and on his shoulder stood a snow-white monkey!
His eyes were dark and cold. Standing there, he was like a god that had descended to the mortal world, and he instantly became the focus of the entire square!
"Pa … Overlord?"
At this moment, the hundreds of millions of people in the nine continents witnessed this shocking scene through the Water Mirror Stone!
Gu Chen had once killed a genius in the martial arts competition, and his name had shaken the entire nine continents. His appearance was also known by everyone.
Now that he had returned in front of everyone, he directly shattered the rumor that the Overlord was no longer in this world!
"Is the Celestial Court still around?"
All the big shots in the square were shocked when they saw the group of assassins from the Celestial Court.
"Are they crazy? Just a dozen people, why would they come here to die? "
A trace of pain flashed in the depths of Shen Xudong's eyes.
Countless cultivators were shocked. What kind of madness and courage did the Overlord have to have dared to appear at Huangfu Wuji's ascension ceremony!
"Gu Clan's evil spawn, so it was you who did this."
Huangfu Wuji looked at Gu Chen in the sky with a gloomy expression, and a monstrous killing intent gushed out from his body!
Today was supposed to be a big day for him to leave his name in history, but it had been ruined by someone.
In the future history books, what kind of words would be used to describe how he looked when he took out his son's head?
Thinking of this, he couldn't be bothered to say another word. Only by killing the other party on the spot could he vent the hatred in his heart!
Whoosh —
