Chapter 920: Chapter 920: Recently, the Food God Clan Has Become Increasingly Rampant
So, they set out together.
They still traveled on Princess Huang Yan’s airship.
Along the way, they inevitably discussed the current state of the Food God Clan, Silver Sky Blood Demon Clan, and Divine Shadow Clan.
"The Food God Clan has become increasingly rampant lately. Just the other day, they killed hundreds of our Dongfang Family disciples in the Divine King Realm!" Dongfang Ao said with an unpleasant expression.
Although the Dongfang Family was an ancient family on the Desolate Continent, the loss of hundreds of Divine King Realm disciples was still a painful blow.
"They have been very active in our Victorious Divine Empire lately, openly recruiting many families and Sects from our empire, completely disregarding the imperial family," Huang Xinkun stated, his face also clouded.
Everyone knew that the Victorious Divine Empire was under the domain of the imperial family. Under its jurisdiction lay numerous families and Sects, but now the Food God Clan was recruiting from within the empire!
Was this not an overt act of devouring the territory and influence of the imperial family?
"It’s not just about recruiting families and Sects from your Victorious Divine Empire." Seventh Princess Huang Yan said angrily, "They’ve even tried to recruit many Divine Generals from our Eternal Divine Kingdom!"
The Eternal Divine Kingdom was known to have ten thousand Divine Generals, but in the last two years, the Food God Clan had visited the residences of nearly a hundred Divine Generals in the Eternal Divine Kingdom and left behind threats and harsh words upon departure.
Now, it had caused instability among the people of the Eternal Divine Kingdom.
Although the Eternal Divine Kingdom had ordered the capture and execution of disciples and experts from the Food God Clan, the effort had minimal effect.
Protected by the Divine Shadow Clan’s Escape Talismans, the members of the Food God Clan managed to flee.
"I heard the Food God Clan wants to pull the Heavenly Emperor Palace into their alliance," Hong Feng voiced with concern.
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian’s heart sank, "Has the Heavenly Emperor Palace already joined them?"
Hong Feng shook his head, "Not yet, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor has not given consent. However, I heard that a disciple of Heavenly Emperor Hanmeng is mixing with the Young Clan Leader of the Food God Clan."
A disciple of Heavenly Emperor Hanmeng?
Yang Xiaotian frowned at this information.
Prior to the Great Beginning Heavenly Emperor, there was Heavenly Emperor Hanmeng, the sixteenth Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Court.
"Does Heavenly Emperor Hanmeng not know that his disciple is fraternizing with the Young Clan Leader of the Food God Clan?" Yang Xiaotian couldn’t help but ask.
"He might know," Hong Feng replied with a shrug. "I’ve heard that several Heavenly Emperors in the Heavenly Emperor Palace are actually willing to ally with the Food God Clan, but the Desolate Heavenly Emperor has not agreed."
Is that so?
Yang Xiaotian’s eyes flickered with thought.
It seemed that he needed to make time to visit the Heavenly Emperor Palace and meet with the many Heavenly Emperors there.
The journey was uneventful.
Half a month later, they arrived at the Imperial Capital of the Eternal Divine Kingdom.
The Eternal Divine Kingdom was the oldest nation on the Desolate Continent, with countless years of heritage. The structures in the Imperial Capital were majestic, and countless Godly Formation Runes were branded on the city walls.
The entire capital was permeated with supreme divine might.
Upon learning of Yang Xiaotian and the others’ arrival, the Divine Emperor of the Eternal Divine Kingdom had long been waiting outside the city gates with a large group of experts.
However, Hong Feng and the others knew they were basking in Yang Xiaotian’s glory.
The Divine Emperor of the Eternal Divine Kingdom was truly there to welcome Yang Xiaotian, the Young Master of the Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion.
"Your visit graces our Eternal Divine Kingdom with great honor, Young Mansion Master and esteemed guests," Divine Emperor Huang Wanlin expressed excitedly.
Yang Xiaotian responded with a fist salute and a smile, "You are too polite, Great Emperor."
Hong Feng and the others quickly bowed in respect.
Huang Wanlin warmly invited Yang Xiaotian and the others to the Eternal Divine Kingdom’s Imperial Palace, saying with a smile, "Young Mansion Master and the young masters must be tired from the journey."
As they entered the Imperial Capital of the Eternal Divine Kingdom, they saw that the streets were lined with a dense crowd of powerful figures and disciples on both sides, a vast, dark mass extending as far as the eye could see.
"The Young Mansion Master, Son of Chaos, has arrived!"
"Son of Chaos!"
Upon seeing Yang Xiaotian, everyone on both sides of the street burst into excited shouts, many vigorously waving their hands and calling out, as if afraid Yang Xiaotian hadn’t heard them.
Some disciples bowed respectfully to Yang Xiaotian, their faces filled with fervent adoration.
Yang Xiaotian was taken aback, having completely not expected so many disciples to come and greet him.
Seeing Yang Xiaotian’s expression, Huang Yan smiled and said, "Junior Brother Yang, you have been in seclusion and hard cultivation for these past years, utterly unaware of how much you are adored by the disciples of the Desolate Continent, right?"
Hong Feng and a few others also smiled.
Hong Feng said with a smile, "Nowadays, no matter which city you go to, the most talked-about topic in the streets and alleys is undoubtedly you, the Son of Chaos."
Yang Xiaotian was stunned, he had indeed heard some things, but he still hadn’t expected to be so popular.
"The last time I returned home, my sister and my younger sister both pestered me for news about the Young Mansion Master," Dongfang Ao added with a laugh. "Even my mother asked about the Young Mansion Master’s affairs."
The few of them shared a mischievous smile with Yang Xiaotian.
What is this called?
This is called appealing to both young and old.
Seeing the teasing smiles of those around him, Yang Xiaotian couldn’t help but feel sheepish.
Amongst the fervent adoration of the various family disciples in the Imperial Capital, Yang Xiaotian and the others finally made it to the Imperial Palace of the Eternal Divine Kingdom with great difficulty.
However, upon arriving at the palace, he was dumbfounded to see that the Imperial Palace’s gate was still crowded with disciples of the Imperial Family.
There were even quite a few little girls, mere children.
"Son of Chaos!" Just like the family disciples in the Imperial Capital, the disciples of the Imperial Family were also excitedly shouting.
Huang Wanlin’s face betrayed a fair amount of embarrassment, as he said to Yang Xiaotian, "I had already ordered these scamps not to bother the Young Mansion Master, but I didn’t expect them to still come out."
Yang Xiaotian said with a smile, "It’s fine."
At this moment, a seven or eight-year-old girl approached Huang Wanlin and bowed, saying, "Father Emperor." However, her rolling eyes were fixed on Yang Xiaotian the whole time.
Slightly embarrassed, Huang Yan laughed and introduced her to Yang Xiaotian, "This is my sister, Huang Jing." Then she said to the little girl, "Jing’er, this is the Young Mansion Master you often talk about."
Huang Jing walked up to Yang Xiaotian and said in a childish voice, "Hello, Young Mansion Master, my name is Huang Jing. My seventh sister likes you, and so do I."
Huang Yan blushed with embarrassment, while everyone else couldn’t help but laugh.
Amidst the laughter, Yang Xiaotian and the others entered the Imperial Palace of the Eternal Divine Kingdom.
Since the banquet was scheduled for the day after next, Yang Xiaotian and his companions were arranged to stay in the Imperial Palace first.
The palace where Yang Xiaotian and the others were staying was personally arranged by Huang Wanlin, who was also concerned that Yang Xiaotian might not feel comfortable and told him that he could express any needs he might have.
Yang Xiaotian sat cross-legged within the Imperial Palace, continuing his cultivation by consuming the Primordial Destiny Divine Fruit and Primordial Universe Divine Fruit.
The next day, Huang Yan came to find Yang Xiaotian and Hong Feng, taking them out for a thorough tour of the Imperial Palace and the Imperial Capital.
However, the little girl Huang Jing clung to Huang Yan, constantly staring at Yang Xiaotian’s face, which left Huang Yan at a loss for words.
This little imp.
After staying in the Imperial Palace for two days, the founding day of the Eternal Divine Kingdom arrived.
However, as the banquet in the Imperial Palace was always held in the evening of previous years, that night, Huang Yan personally came to invite Yang Xiaotian and his companions.
"My Father Emperor was supposed to come invite you himself, but tonight he has also invited many other guests." Huang Yan said apologetically.
"Sister, may I ask who else you have invited?" Yang Xiaotian inquired.
Huang Yan mentioned some people, all of whom were long-established figures or masters and leaders of Supreme Sects on the Desolate Continent.
"Today, Young Master Jiusheng from Kaitian Academy, Zhang Xian, and Zeng Shuyin have also arrived," Huang Yan added after some hesitation.
