When they arrived at the entrance of the palace, it was naturally impossible for them to descend from the sky and land directly in the palace. That would be too disrespectful to the royal family.
After Beiting Qing and the others landed from the sky, they walked over from the door.
Beiting Huangs gaze landed on the two figures at the front. They were Beiting Qing and Beiting Jian. Both of them looked to be in their fifties or sixties.
Beiting Jian was older and looked that way too. An intuition made Beiting Huang feel that the two of them were biological brothers from the same mother. They did not look as friendly as what the outside world said.
Seeing the confusion in Beiting Huangs eyes, Beiting Jing, who was walking beside her, said to her in a low voice, “The Master and the First Elder have already quarreled a few times in the past few years. Grandfather originally wanted to pass the position of the Master to Little Uncle, but it’s said that the Elder Council doesn’t agree.”
Beiting Qing had already entered the Spiritual Grandmaster realm and was less than 100 years old. He still had many years to live. If he passed the position of the head of the family to the little uncle now, what was he going to do? Beiting Huang could understand the thoughts of those in power. Once people grasped power, very few were willing to let go. Beiting Huang said, “Why didn’t the Elder Council agree?”
Beiting Jing said in a low voice, “There was once when the Elders Council was discussing something. When I passed by, 1 vaguely heard the Great Elder shouting, saying, ‘When Langer was around, I had no objections if you wanted to pass the position to Langer. But now that Langer is no longer around, why should you pass it to Rui’er? Back then, 1 gave you the position of the head of the family. Now that your eldest son is no longer around, shouldn’t you return it to my lineage?’”
Beiting Huangs eyes flickered. Beiting Lang was her father and the eldest son of Beiting Qing. If her father was around, with his peerless talent and eldest son status, it was only right for him to inherit the family. Now that her father was missing, it was understandable that Beiting Qing wanted to pass the position of the head of the family to her younger uncle. The position of the head of the four great families was no small matter. How could it be given away like the First Elder had said?
Beiting Huangs intuition told her that there was more to this. Hearing Beiting Jings voice, she said, “All these years, it’s a good thing that you haven’t been in the family. The First Elder is trying his best to compete with Little Uncle for the position of the head of the family. That bastard, Beiting Yi, even has a relationship with the current Saintess of the Temple of Justice. The two of them have a very good relationship. From the looks of it, they are planning to marry.”
“Those from the Divine Hall of Judgment has also arrived?” Beiting Huang stroked her smooth chin. She had killed both successors. Now that a Saintess had come, was she also a fish on her chopping block? Beiting Huang looked around and couldn’t help but’s eyes light up when she saw a pair of people walking over. “Speak of the devil!”
Who was the devil? Beiting Jing did not know. At the same time, he saw a
group of horses slowly approaching them.
There were a lot of people in front of the palace gate.They were coming and going, and there were especially many people walking and sitting in carriages. One of the groups was dressed in snow-white priest clothes. Everyone’s eyes were cold, and they looked holy. If they weren’t from the Divine Hall of Judgment, who else could they be?
There were more than 20 people in the group, and all of them were above the Heaven Rank. The young girl in front had snow-white silver hair that was tied up with a golden silk ribbon. When the wind blew, the gold and silver colors emitted a dazzling light under the light, causing everyone around her to stop and exclaim. The young girl looked sweet. If it weren’t for her cold eyes, even Beiting Huang would have liked this woman..
