The doors at the top of the flight of stairs looked like doors to heaven.
Wen Tian Ge and Wen Ao Xue arrived at the gate and smiled indifferently. Wen Tian Ge just said indifferently, "Such grandeur architecture, they're quite the ambitious bunch."
The one next to Wen Tian Ge didn't understand. What did he mean?
Outside, in the gardens, there were tables setup with food and drinks. At the top of the flight of stairs, one could smell the food and alcohol wafting over.
The buildings were white and beautiful, majestic and lofty. The Qi Empire was proud of themselves and their buildings. Their buildings were even better than the Qi Clan's in the Ba Huang Province.
"Your Highness The Messenger!" Emperor Dong rushed over to the Messenger after he saw him. He came to greet him himself. He was smiling wholeheartedly.
"Emperor Dong, Congratulations!" said the Messenger smiling and nodding.
"Thank you very much, Your Highness The Messenger! Come come, have a seat!" said Emperor Dong politely. Then, he smiled at the young men who were with the Messenger and said, "Those young men must be from the Gu Clan! They all look outstanding!"
"You're too kind!" said the young men smiling.
But Emperor Dong smiled coldly. Surprisingly, those young men were very arrogant and impolite. (Translator's note: interesting thing about Chinese culture, when someone compliments you, you're supposed to reply something like "no, no, that's not true at all", if you reply something like "you're too kind", it means that you agree with the compliment which comes down to bragging. The worst thing you could ever do in Chinese culture is reply to a compliment by saying "thank you").
Of course, even though he thought that way, he didn't show his anger. He just showed them where to sit.
"Thank you everyone for coming." said Emperor Dong to the emperors while showing them their seats. They didn't sit together though, they were still waiting for their disciples.
Emperor Dong welcomed the emperors himself. Emperor Qi also helped. Qi Qian Xing didn't come though. He didn't dare come, he couldn't take the risk after what Lin Feng had done to his clan recently.
Very quickly, people from all over Ba Huang and Jiu You all arrived and gathered with their friends. Even as Emperor Yu arrived, Emperor Qi welcomed him warmly.
"Hou Qing Lin and Tian Chi arrived as well!" some people saw two people move towards Emperor Yu. Tiantai's direct disciples, Hou Qing Lin and Tian Chi.
"Hou Qing Lin has broken through to the ninth Zun Qi layer. How terrifying! He'll soon become a cultivation emperor. He's so close to becoming one now." thought the crowd.
Many people were stuck at the ninth Zun Qi layer or couldn't even reach the top of the Zun Qi layer.
Nobody doubted that Hou Qing Lin was going to break through to the Huang Qi layer though.
"Bzzz!" At that moment, dazzling lights appeared in the sky. It was a gigantic bird, and there was another bird next to him who was a bit smaller.
"Emperor Peng and the little bird emperor arrived!" the crowd saw two birds. They were both great oriental greenfinch rocs.
"They're really obstinate and unruly." thought everybody.
Those days, people were used to calling Mo Peng the little emperor. Last time, the emperor had been bullied by Lin Feng. Since then, Mo Peng had broken through to the seventh Zun Qi layer as Emperor Peng continued helping him practice cultivation. He wanted him to break through to the Huang Qi layer.
"Emperor Peng, the little emperor, come here and have a seat!" said Emperor Qi indifferently. Even though he smiled coldly on the inside, he remained polite. The great oriental greenfinch roc was different from the others!
"Bzzz!" Waves of Qi rolled in the sky behind Emperor Peng. The crowd was astonished. He was there!
Emperor Qi was astonished as well, he felt like he was going to explode with anger.
Emperor Yu smiled happily though.
Lin Feng and Ruo Xie had made it!
"Caw!" Mo Peng cawed furiously. He was surrounded by golden Qi as he instantly threw himself at Lin Feng. He hated Lin Feng more than anything else because he had made him suffer so much. Even when he had an imperial weapon, Lin Feng had made him suffer.
Lin Feng smiled indifferently. He didn't even glance at the bird. Emperor Yu, Emperor Wen and Emperor Deva-Mara were all there, so no emperor could attack him. Besides, those who had violated the rules might suffer severe consequences.
"Those who aren't emperors have to go through the gate, they can't fly into the city. Who do you think you are!""Who are you!" said a guard who knew who Lin Feng was.
"Are you blind?" replied Lin Feng indifferently. Lin Feng pointed at Mo Peng and said indifferently, "Is he an emperor?"
"Hmph!" Ruo Xie groaned coldly and said, "It's a wedding today and everybody has been invited. We came, so it's already an honor for the Qi Clan. If the Qi Clan wants guests, why impose such rules, especially if not everybody respects them. Do you want to imply that some geniuses are less important than others?"
The guard looked at Ruo Xie. Ruo Xie was talking with everybody in mind.
"He's a great oriental greenfinch roc!" replied the guard. He seemed a little unsure of himself.
"What you mean to say is that great oriental greenfinch rocs are more important than anyone else. Then, you should have only invited the great oriental greenfinch rocs and that's it. Why'd you invite everyone else?" replied Ruo Xie.
The guard was speechless. The birds looked furious too.
"Great oriental greenfinch rocs' social status is obviously higher than ordinary people's." replied the bird. He didn't dare offend everybody, so he only talked about "ordinary people".
"Is that so? Strength is the most important thing in the cultivation world. I am at the top of the Sixth Zun Qi layer, so I'll fight against him, a battle to death with no imperial intervention, nor imperial weapons. We'll see then! Does Emperor Peng agree?" asked Lin Feng, looking at Emperor Peng. The emperor was incredulous.
"What an arrogant guy! A battle to the death!" thought the crowd. Mo Peng probably didn't want to because Lin Feng wasn't an ordinary person.
"If you kill me, it'll prove that your social status is higher than mine. If I die, then I deserve it. I'll probably die so Emperor Peng doesn't need to act so polite. Don't worry yourself Mo Peng, let's fight!" said Lin Feng smiling indifferently.
"Hmph!" Emperor Peng groaned coldly. The birds didn't look as arrogant as before.
"Today is a wedding ceremony, so don't worry about the rules!" said Emperor Qi indifferently glancing at Lin Feng. Lin Feng and Ruo Xie continued flying, they didn't even glance at Emperor Qi as the flew overhead.
"Lin Feng, Ruo Xie!" Hou Qing Lin and Tian Chi smiled at Lin Feng and Ruo Xie and said, "You did a good job!"
Lin Feng shrugged. He knew what he meant. They were talking about the massacre at the Qi Clan. The Qi Clan and Tian Long Divine Castle had killed many people from Tiantai, so it was very warranted. Lin Feng and Ruo Xie had slaughtered people from the Qi Clan in their own territory, that was an incredible humiliation.
After what happened at the Qi Clan, Tian Long Divine Castle's people stopped killing people from Tiantai and they became much more discreet.
"The Qi Empire seems even more powerful and larger than the Qi Clan though!" Lin Feng had glanced around. There were many people, all of whom were incredible and heroic warriors.
"The Qi Clan is powerful. They wouldn't give up a territory which has a shrine. Many years ago, the Qi Clan took over this land, but in the past this place wasn't called the Qi Empire!" explained Emperor Yu. Lin Feng nodded. The ice emperor and the snow leader ruled over the Ice and Snow Empire. Being an emperor was sufficed to take over an empire sometimes. The Qi Clan was powerful because they had a medium-level emperor.
At that moment, Lin Feng sensed some sharp lights. He turned around and saw the two princes from Tian Long Divine Castle as well as Jing Gu arriving. If the first and second prince of Tian Long Divine Castle and Jing Gu died, Tian Long Divine Castle would have no proper descendants left.
Lin Feng took a glass of alcohol, he raised it up and smiled at Emperor Tian Long indifferently. Emperor Tian Long groaned coldly and ignored Lin Feng. He stood up, with his glass in hand, and went to another table, the one at which the Messenger was sitting.
Lin Feng smiled in a cold way and slowly downed his drink. He was staring at the table where the Messenger was. Many people raised their glasses at the Messenger as a sign of respect. His seat was higher up than everyone else's since he had a higher social status. He also raised his glass and smiled at people who were cheering with him, however, he looked indifferent.
"The Messenger must be a medium-level emperor!" whispered Lin Feng. Emperor Yu nodded, "Indeed, he's a medium-level emperor but his position is a bit special."
The Messenger controlled the road which led to the Holy City. He also managed the ancient battlefield of the Huang Sea. He alone could determine some rules.
"Let's go and have a drink with the Messenger!" said Emperor Yu to Lin Feng and the others. Then they all walked towards the Messenger.
The Messenger was sitting with some extraordinary and heroic, yet arrogant, young men.
"They must all be from the Holy City." thought Lin Feng. Lin Feng noticed that some of the young men looked arrogant while some of them didn't. They just looked indifferent.
"Your Highness The Messenger, my disciples and I raise our glasses in your honor!" said Emperor Yu politely.
"You're too kind, Emperor Yu!" said the Messenger while still smiling indifferently. He also raised his glass and even bumped his glass against Emperor Yu's glass. He didn't look arrogant at all, he looked indifferent and friendly.
"You're Lin Feng!" said a young man at that moment.
"That's me, indeed!" said Lin Feng nodding to them.
"I've heard about the geniuses of the Ba Huang Province, including you, Lin Feng. If we have the opportunity today, I'd like to fight against you." said the young man, smiling and raising his glass. He didn't stand up though, he remained seated.
"If we do have the opportunity, I'd be happy to!" said Lin Feng smiling. However, he didn't raise his glass. Then, Emperor Yu and the others turned around and walked away.
The young man looked angry as Lin Feng walked away.
"How disrespectful!" said a young man on his side.
"If he knew your social status, he wouldn't dare be disrespectful." said another one in a calm and serene way.
The young man smiled and didn't say anything else. He just glanced at Lin Feng from time to time.
"Those young men must be from the Holy City if they can stay with the Messenger." whispered Hou Qing Lin.
"I guess so." said Emperor Yu smiling in an uncaring way. Lin Feng smiled indifferently, he didn't care either. That young man had remained seated whilst raising his glass, which was a sign of disrespect, so Lin Feng didn't raise his glass in return.
Emperor Tian Long stayed with Emperor Qi the entire time. It was as if he wanted to show off how great he was because he knew Emperor Qi. Many people despised him for that but said nothing, after all, it was the Qi Clan's event.
"Emperor Yu, what do you think?" asked some people at that moment: Emperor Wen, Wen Tian Ge and Wen Ao Xue.
"Emperor Wen, please sit down." said Emperor Yu politely. Then, he looked at Emperor Tian Long and said indifferently, "He knows Tian Long is falling, so of course he's not happy."
"We can't blame him. After all, he lost so much already, he won't be able to rise up again anytime soon." said Emperor Wen. He talked loudly though, loudly enough that the two princes from Tian Long Divine Castle looked at him in a cold way.
They knew that their father didn't want to follow Emperor Qi like a dog, but he had no choice. Without Tiantai, they wouldn't have had such problems. Now, if Tiantai didn't completely disappear, they would suffer, perhaps even disappearing themselves.
"By the way, do you know who Qi Yan's new bride is?" asked Emperor Wen smiling at Emperor Yu.
"The Qi Clan didn't give any hint. Do you know already?" asked Emperor Yu. Qi Yan was Emperor Dong's son, so his wife had to be outstanding. But still, the Qi Clan didn't say who she was.
"We'll know soon enough." said Emperor Wen smiling. He was curious. Everybody was.
Emperor Deva-Mara and some strong cultivators from the Deva-Mara Palace went and sat down next to Emperor Yu and the others as well. Many people were chatting and enjoying themselves. At that moment, a gong resonated. At the same time, in the distance, a golden crow with nine heads was pulling a golden-carriage which shined like the sun.
Emperor Dong and Emperor Qi looked at the carriage and smiled. Many soldiers rose up in the air and opened the way for them.
The door of the carriage opened itself and someone came out: Emperor Dong's son, Qi Yan.
Qi Yan stretched out his hand and a slender white arm appeared. With the sun shining upon that arm, it looked even more beautiful.
"Who is she?" thought some people. A silhouette gradually appeared in people's field of vision. She seemed so beautiful.
"She's perfect for Qi Yan, what a perfect match!" thought some people. However, many people from the Ba Huang Province were astonished because they recognized her.
Lin Feng frowned, he was surprised, how could it be her!
