167. Nine Profound Sect is in danger
Chang City, the Imperial Palace Garden.
At this moment, outside the garden, many martial artists and Qi cultivators had already knelt down. There was even a middle-aged man in dragon robes. He was the Emperor of Great Chang.
But now, this supreme sovereign actually knelt down in the garden. Behind him were Qi cultivators, martial artists, princes, etc. All were the core of the royal family.
"Ancestor, what will we do when you're gone?"
"Yes, Ancestor. Now the world is filled with the smoke of war, the situation is shaking, I'm afraid our Great Chang's nine hundred years of reign is in danger!"
"Ancestor..."
These people all knelt down in the garden. This was because the royal family's Supreme Elder had informed the emperor and others tonight was the time when his lifespan would come to an end.
The Supreme Elder, at this moment, was already full of silver hair. Even his originally rosy face, at this time, gradually became pale. He was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the garden.
Looking at the descendants who had knelt down in front of him, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly and said, "When I was born, the Great Chang was already shaking. It was me, who built the foundation and became a True Person. I continued the fate of Great Chang for more than four hundred years!
But, after four hundred years, even if I'm a Foundation Establishment True Person, I also have a lifespan. Great Chang has been established for nine hundred years, which is long enough. Even the founding emperor said that descendants will have their own blessings.
Wishing for the reign to last forever is impossible. After my death, those immortal sects will surely cause trouble. If you want to keep Great Chang, with your abilities, I'm afraid it's impossible.
So, let nature take its course, even the strongest dynasty has its day of collapse. It's a pity that I don't have the courage of the first emperor, daring to go out to sea alone in search of the Dao. Now, it's too late to regret..."Fôllôw new stories at novelhall.com
After speaking, the royal family's Supreme Elder slowly closed his eyes. Then, he gradually lowered his head. The last trace of vitality in his body was completely cut off.
"Ancestor..."
Seeing this scene, everyone knew the ancestor was dead! The sky of the royal family collapsed! From now on, the royal family of Great Chang no longer had a Foundation Establishment True Person to suppress the world. The entire world, collapsing and disintegrating, may only be a matter of time.
With the passing of the royal family's Supreme Elder, the array that originally covered the entire palace gradually disappeared. The array of this palace was always maintained by the Supreme Elder. Without the Supreme Elder, other Qi cultivators of the royal family, even if they were top-notch Qi cultivators, would not expect to maintain it.
The Emperor still wanted to keep it a secret. However, the array of the palace disappeared. This could not be kept secret.
Moreover, in today's Chang City, there are various immortal sects and factions. Openly and secretly.
How many spies were there? How could the death of the royal Supreme Elder be concealed? For a time, the spies of various forces quickly spread the news.
In the main hall of Guardian Primordial Mountain. The Grand Elder, who had reached the perfection of the twelfth level of Qi Condensation, had just received the news. His gaze swept over, and with a hint of excitement in his eyes, he slowly said, "I just received the news, the old man of the royal family has passed away!"
This news immediately exploded the entire hall.
"What, the royal supreme elder is dead?"
"He lived for a full five hundred years and suppressed the world for hundreds of years."
"The royal supreme elder is finally dead, the mountain pressing on our immortal sects has finally disappeared."
"Hahaha, I'm afraid the prosperous age of our immortal sects is coming!"
Basically, the Qi cultivators in the hall were very excited.
That supreme elder of the royal family was the one who made all the immortal sects gasp for breath. Strictly speaking, he was even more ruthless than the Great Chang Founding Emperor!
After all, not long after the Great Chang Founding Emperor established the Great Chang, it seemed that in less than a hundred years, he went out to sea alone in search of the Dao.
Lin Fei took a step forward. He wanted to see what it was like to walk on water. So, Lin Fei's foot directly stepped on the water's surface.
This time, Lin Fei did not use his Saber Qi. When his feet stepped on the water's surface, a miraculous thing happened.
Lin Fei's legs felt as if they were stepping on soft cotton, they didn't sink. Even Lin Fei was shocked by this.
One step, two steps, three steps...
Soon, Lin Fei was striding forward. On the river surface, he was striding along briskly.
"This...this is walking on water... It's incredible. Once the physical body reaches perfection, it will display all kinds of incredible abilities."
Lin Fei step by step, walked on the water surface. It immediately drew a lot of attention.
Many ignorant people, even started kneeling and praying by the river bank, thinking they had encountered a deity.
Lin Fei shook his head. He couldn't really blame these people for being ignorant. Weren't his current skills the same as the gods in the legends?
"Martial arts can lead to divinity..."
Lin Fei thought of a phrase. It seemed to describe his current state quite aptly. Soon, Lin Fei crossed the Bibo River and arrived at the opposite bank.
At this time, a dozen knights appeared on the opposite bank. Each one of them looked at Lin Fei, their faces showing a trace of astonishment.
After all, Lin Fei crossed the river as if he was strolling in a courtyard. This was extremely shocking for anyone.
However, the leader still asked loudly, "May I ask if you are 'Immortal Slayer Saber' Master Lin Fei?"
"Hmm? You know me?"
Lin Fei looked at their attire. He knew they were people from the Great Chang court.
"Master Lin, we are the secret guards of the South King Mansion. Ordered by the princess, we came to wait for you near the Nine Profound Sect. Here is a letter from the princess. Master Lin Fei will know once you see it."
Then, these secret guards respectfully handed over a letter to Lin Fei. Lin Fei opened it and read it. The letter was indeed written by Princess Ling Yao. There was only one simple sentence on it.
"The Supreme Elder is dead, Nine Profound Sect is in danger, leave quickly!"
Few words, but they contained a lot of information.
"Swoosh".
Lin Fei suddenly raised his head.
"Nine Profound Sect is in danger! Tell me, what happened to Nine Profound Sect?"
Lin Fei's eyes were fixed on these secret guards. Since they were stationed at the foot of the Nine Profound Sect, they must know what happened to the Nine Profound Sect.
"Master Lin Fei, Qi cultivator disciples from He Mountain Dao and Guardian Primordial Mountain, carrying the treasures of their sects, are rushing towards Nine Profound Sect. If you go back to Nine Profound Sect now, I'm afraid..."
The secret guard didn't finish his sentence. Obviously, going back to Nine Profound Sect now was not a wise choice.
"He Mountain Dao, Guardian Primordial Mountain. I'll go up the mountain and wait for them!"
In the next moment, Lin Fei's saber energy exploded. The entire person, like a phantom, instantly burst out dozens of meters, rushing towards Nine Profound Sect.
