Chapter 1311: China’s Finest
As the door of the golden train opens, a strong mix of aura was unleashed into the public space, causing people near it to be slightly taken aback by the menacing aura. They did not need to know who it was but the aura being emitted was rather clear that the people who were exiting the train were no mere high grade cultivators.
“Let’s give a round of applause to welcome China’s finest, The Royal Zodiac Heads!” Jin shouted as the background music in every train played in sync and every single one within the event island was stunned to see them.
“Are you serious?!” Bu Dong shouted as he did not expect that the Pandawans were on the same train as the heads of the Royal Zodiac group. At this point, the bewilderment turned into giddy excitement as the audience saw almost every single Royal Zodiac Head at the centre of Jin’s store.
Some even began to question whether they were really the authentic Royal Zodiac Heads especially when the only time they ever got together was during the nation’s National Day. Even so, people know that they were forced to come together as a show of unity and some said they hardly ever come together unless it was a meeting of urgency.
However, right now, in this particular PandaVerse event, where only budding cultivators were here to enjoy their time, the Royal Zodiac Heads are now here in flesh and blood right in front of their eyes. As if they could sense the doubt in a few people, almost every single Royal Zodiac Head that was present with the exception of the Dragon Royal Zodiac clan showcased their aura to display to the public that they were indeed the real deal. It also seemed that each and every Zodiac Head were taking turns to show they were better than the other, making the centre stage to be a performance that everyone would not forget. The emergence of the rat and subsequently, the Bull and then the rabbit, so on and so forth.
Among the audience, there was a mix of subsidiary clans as well as minor clans of these Royal Zodiac clans that came just to enjoy what Jin had to offer but as they saw their representatives at the centre stage, they could not help but cry in joy. But the loudest cheer came from the Royal Zodiac army personnel as they shouted at the top of their voice when their respective Royal Zodiac Heads came forward to display their menacing aura.
Just as the Royal Zodiac Pig Aura came out, everyone was clapping as if to thank for the appearance of the Royal Zodiac Heads that came as special guests to Jin’s event but suddenly the clouds above them started to turn dark for a sudden.
“Looks like someone is a tad too shy to show their face,” Jin said while the clouds began to crackle with thunder a silhouette of a huge serpent like dragon was seen flying around them. Everyone immediately knew that it was none other than the Royal Dragon Zodiac and the crowd simply went wild. For the first time in the history books, all twelve Royal Zodiacs had come together for one event that was even considered official in everyone’s eyes. (Even though Kong Rong was still hiding since he could not show his face to the Public way too often.)
And these made everyone wonder what kind of clout Jin had pulled to bring the Royal Zodiac Heads to his event. Now the reviewers and reporters who were in the media embargo finally understood why Kiyu had demanded such a high level order not to release any information about the event. If intruders of China knew that all twelve Royal Zodiac Heads were gathered in one particular place, it meant that the whole of China was ‘not guarded’ from both external and internal threats.
Thus, with this realisation, all of them finally agreed to adhere to the embargo even though Kiyu was still keeping a close eye on each and every one of them. After all, she too could feel the excitement in their eyes and the feeling of wanting to send out this amazing piece of message to the entire world.
“Despite their busy schedules, they have decided to put down any differences they had among each other and me included to come to join this epic event. However, time is precious to them and seeing how I had promised them a load of fun in exchange for their presence, let’s not let these super VIPs wait!” Jin said and everyone once again gave another round of applause as Jin told them to stay in their seats.
All of the trains that were present on the event stage began to bring the seats back to their original position and a few had already started to move out. In the meantime, the Royal Zodiac Heads took their time to return to their golden train. There was an announcement within their train for all sponsors to be seated and not bother the Royal Zodiac Heads. There were even attendants and Panda Guards to ensure that there was no interference even though the Heads were powerful enough to ignore them.
Still, it was a sign of courtesy and everyone on the train tried to take a glimpse of the famous figureheads of China. And with the Heads seated, the golden train had also taken off along with the rest. Jin smiled that all of the Heads had kept their promise that they would come for the PandaVerse Festival and that included the Rat and Tiger.
“Looks like no matter what, the allure of money is still quite a strong factor,” Jin said to himself seeing how satisfied the entire group of cultivators were elated by their presence. Although he had to pay millions to get them to come, that amount did not matter much considering all he spent could be earnt back in a fraction of a day in the interdimensional stock market. (Of course, with the help of Claire.)
And with a satisfied and encouraged army of cultivators in his palm, the offensive on the Great Demon Rat War could finally begin.
