Chapter 2455: Chapter 2453: The Ten Hall Emperors
In Fengdu City, the Ning Family is considered a major clan.
Everyone around, upon hearing the name Ning Zhen, flatteringly called out, "So it is the Eldest Young Master Ning."
"Well, now that the Young Master Ning is here, this outsider is definitely going to be unlucky."
"Who does he think he is, daring to show off in our Fengdu City!"
"Let’s wait and watch the show!"
"..."
Asu asked Ning Zhen, "Since you are the Young Master Ning, do you know Ning Caichen?"
Ning Zhen’s face instantly showed a trace of displeasure upon hearing the name, and he gave Asu a sidelong glance, saying, "Do you know that mutt?"
Asu raised her eyebrows and said, "Why do you speak of your kinsman like that?"
Ning Zhen disdainfully replied, "What kinsman? He’s from a side branch, not worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as me. You’ve miscalculated. If you knew someone else, I might consider letting you off. But you only know a mutt from our Ning Family, not worth begging me for mercy."
Asu, hearing him repeatedly call out ’mutt,’ couldn’t help but angrily say, "You really deserve a beating!"
"What did you say?"
Ning Zhen’s longsword was half drawn, buzzing faintly, and the Sword Qi hummed with a murderous aura.
Asu snorted coldly, "I said you really deserve a beating!"
"You seek death!"
Ning Zhen drew his sword, and a surge of Sword Qi suddenly rose, swept toward Asu.
The Sword Qi seemed like a long serpent, booming and trembling in the void.
This fierce edge was about to entwine Asu, but Long Fei struck with a palm, blocking in front.
With a bang, Sword Qi and palm energy collided.
Sword Qi scattered everywhere, shattered by the force of the palm energy.
A massive force rebounded onto Ning Zhen, crashing with a resounding boom that sent Ning Zhen flying.
His body ripped open, severely injured, rolling on the ground, spitting a mouthful of blood.
Long Fei stood effortlessly where he was, cupping his fist with a faint smile, "Young Master Ning’s Sword Qi is extraordinary, I am impressed."
"You..."
Ning Zhen was immensely ashamed, his face red up to his neck, urgent in heart, spat another mouthful of blood.
The disciples behind quickly supported him, urging him to calm down first.
There were many experts present, with these people stepping in, they didn’t need to desperately fight Long Fei for now.
Among these elders, someone stepped forward, inquired of Long Fei, "May I ask whence this friend comes? What is your business in our Fengdu City?"
Long Fei did not conceal it, "I am the Human Realm Emperor, here to unite with the Netherworld, together to resist the Demon Race."
"Human Realm?"
"Emperor?"
"You come from the Human Realm?"
"How could that be!"
"..."
The scene was instantly in uproar, startled by Long Fei.
Ning Zhen looked even more like he had seen a ghost, staring at Long Fei muttering, "Human Realm, Emperor?"
He stood up, lightly shouted, "You monster, utter nonsense. The Human Realm and the Netherworld are not connected, and the environment of the Netherworld is extremely yin, how could anyone from the Human Realm come over?"
A group of elders were also somewhat amazed, "The Human Realm has always existed in ancient legends, it is indeed the first time we have seen someone from the Human Realm."
"You say you are the Human Realm Emperor, do you have any evidence?"
Someone raised a doubt.
Long Fei calmly displayed the Emperor’s token, with nine white Dragon Qi entwining his body.
All at once, qi soared to the cloudy sky, resplendent light shone, turning the entire sky of Fengdu City purple.
These nine True Dragons truly represented the Power of Faith of the Nine Tripods of the Human Realm, signifying the mandate of all Human Race.
The imposing Dragon Qi overwhelmed everyone present, one by one they couldn’t help but kneel on the ground, as though witnessing the descent of an Emperor from the Netherworld.
After Long Fei retracted Dragon Qi, the pressure in the scene diminished by threefold.
A group of people sweating on their foreheads, tremblingly stood up, supporting themselves.
Nobody had expected, at this moment, to witness the manifestation of the Human Realm Emperor.
Inside the Royal Palace of Fengdu City, bells sounded.
The ruler of Yama Nation was in the palace but had already seen the commotion here.
A voice conveyed, "The Human Realm Emperor is invited to the Yama Palace!"
The crowd shifted their feet, all made way for Long Fei.
Asu stood beside Long Fei, feeling immensely honored.
Only such a man was worthy of accompanying her.
She felt proud and promptly carried Nie Xiaoqian, went into the Yama Palace with Long Fei.
The Emperor of Yama Nation was not one person, but ruled by an Elders Council.
The Elders Council consisted of ten families, all were the worldly heritage of the Ten Yama Kings at Yama’s Palace.
These ten families controlled the entire affairs of Yama Nation.
They were respectively the Ying Family under King Qin Guang, the Xiang lineage under the King of Chu, the Zhao lineage under Emperor Song, the Lü lineage under King of Gudan, the Bao lineage under King Yanluo, the Bi lineage under King Abbotown, the Dong lineage under Mount Tai King, the Huang lineage under the Capital King, the Lu lineage under the King of Equality, and lastly the Xue lineage under the Revolving King.
Ying, Xiang, Zhao, Lü, Bao, Bi, Dong, Huang, Lu, Xue, ten families, relying on the prestige of the Ten Yama Kings, jointly established the present foundation in the Eastern Continent.
Other minor families all depended on them.
Like the Ning Family, merely affiliated with King Qin Guang’s Ying Clan.
Long Fei and the other two entered the Royal Palace, while people from the Netherworld followed curiously watching Long Fei.
Like legends of the Immortal Realm in the Human Realm, the Netherworld naturally has legends of the Human Realm and Immortal Realm.
People never expected to see someone from the Human Realm here, moreover an Emperor.
This person from the Human Realm differed slightly from their imaginations.
In their eyes, the Human Realm should be the Underworld.
Now it seems, this person differs little from them.
Yama Palace was imposing, with ancient style, carved beams and painted buildings, towering pillars reaching hundred meters high.
Beneath it, all can feel its majesty.
Inside the main hall, the Ten Emperors were already seated.
The soldiers in guard allowed only Long Fei to enter.
Asu unhappily waited outside with Nie Xiaoqian, inwardly cursing the ten old men inside.
Long Fei entered the main hall, glancing around at the seats of elders.
The Ten Great Elders equally scrutinized him with various gazes.
Some stroked their beards with a look of admiration, some eyes flickered darkly, seemingly having enmity towards him.
Some remained silent and calm, motion without expression.
Some carried smiles, brows with joy.
"Greetings to all fellow Taoists!"
Long Fei cupped his fist in salute, back straight, an air of an Emperor.
Elder Ying gave no courtesy, first attacking verbally, "Why not stay in the Human Realm as your Emperor, what business do you have in our Netherworld? Just arrived and already injuring our disciples, such great prestige indeed!"
Patriarch Xiang spoke for Long Fei, "Elder Ying, it was merely a minor spar, no need for Minor Celestial Venerable. Besides, the Emperor held back, did not injure anyone, we should welcome him courteously!"
The other elders nodded, cupping their fists to Long Fei in greeting, "Emperor’s arrival has been unexpectedly met. For what purpose have you come, are there matters needing our assistance?"
Among these elders, some were affiliated with the Ying Family, but most could discern right from wrong.
