Chapter 102: Heavenly Dragon Imperial Palace
Translator: 549690339
On this day, Li Lingtian was cultivating when an imperial edict from the palace came from outside, summoning Li Lingtian and Li Suifeng for an audience.
Although the Marquisdom was huge, with his divine sense, the entire Marquisdom was under his divine sense. Every move of the Marquisdom was within his line of sight.
Upon receiving the imperial edict, Li Lingtian and Li Suifeng looked at each other and smiled. Naturally, they knew that nothing good would come out of this meeting. They could not avoid what was meant to come.
The two of them tidied up their clothes and took the Marquis’s Manor’s beast carriage to the Imperial Palace.
Sky Dragon Great City was indeed the largest city in Sky Dragon Empire. The entire city was 6,000 square kilometers, and the Marquisdom was more than 300 miles away from the Imperial Palace. Even if they were to travel by beast carriage, it would still take them an hour.
The imperial palace. Looking at the imperial palace in front of him, it was no different from the imperial palace of the Tang Dynasty that he had seen on television in his previous life. It was majestic and imposing.
Countless patrolling guards and palace maids shuttled back and forth.
When the two of them arrived at the main entrance of the palace, they were stopped by the palace guards.
“So it’s Lord Marquis. This subordinate greets Lord Marquis!”
These guards were all Martial King Realm experts. When they saw Li Suifeng, their faces revealed a respectful expression. Li Suifeng was born in the battlefield and had deep strength.
“Why is Vice Commander Zhang patrolling today?”
Li Suifeng smiled faintly. The two of them were quite familiar with each other, and these were just normal greetings.
” The safety of the palace is the top priority for the Sky Dragon Empire’s once-in-a-decade competition. I dare not be careless.”
Zhang Lingfeng, the deputy commander of the guards, cupped his fists and bowed. After that, Li Suifeng and Li Suifeng exchanged a few words before leading Li Lingtian into the palace.
” This young man must be Li Lingtian, the one who killed the twenty-four Martial King powerhouses from the Yang family some time ago.”
” Indeed, heroes come from the young. He’s so powerful at such a young age. 1 believe that with enough time, he’ll definitely become the seventh young master of Sky Dragon Empire.”
“The Northern Marquis’s residence has hidden themselves well, they didn’t even resist being suppressed like this. The appearance of this prince, his methods were swift and decisive, killing the Yang family’s experts.”
“But now that Marquis Pingbei and the prince have entered the palace, it should be the Yang family’s doing.”
After Li Lingtian and his wife left, some of the guards whispered among themselves. The strong were respected. In front of the strong, there was no age difference. Age did not matter if one was ambitious.
Li Lingtian could not help but feel excited upon entering the palace. He had only watched it on television in his previous life but he did not expect to actually enter the palace this time. This palace was many times worse than the one in his previous life.
Many people who knew Li Suifeng came forward to greet him. Although they were greeting him, they were also very careful because the Pingbei Marquis Estate was gradually declining.
Heavenly Dragon Palace
All the officials and emperors were gathered in the conference hall of the Sky Dragon Empire’s imperial palace. The Sky Dragon Palace Hall represented the top existence of the Sky Dragon Empire.
In front of the hall, hundreds of guards stood majestically. Each guard was a Martial King and had profound strength. Such a lineup could only be seen in the Imperial Palace.
“I, I, I, the Marquis of North Peace, greet you!”
” 1,1, Li Lingtian, the heir of the North Peace Marquis Residence, pay my respects!”
A sharp voice was heard. It immediately reminded Li Lingtian of the eunuchs in the palace in his previous life.
The voice came in waves. Li Suifeng tidied his clothes and makeup before he headed to the main hall. Li Lingtian followed behind him at a moderate pace.
He completely ignored the Martial King Realm guards on both sides.
Looking around, he didn’t look like the other disciples who had entered the palace for the first time. Instead, it was as if he had entered his own backyard.
“I, Li Suifeng, pay my respects to the Emperor.”
” Greetings, Your Majesty. Your humble servant Li Lingtian greets Your Majesty.”
Li Suifeng bowed respectfully to the middle-aged man on the throne.
All of the officials looked down, completely ignoring Li Suifeng’s arrival.
However, when it was Li Lingtian’s turn to pay his respects to the Heavenly Dragon Emperor, all the courtiers were stunned. Immediately, a gloating expression appeared on their faces.
As a marquis, Marquis Pingbei had to bow to the Emperor even if he had outstanding military achievements. Furthermore, Li Lingtian was only the heir of the marquis ‘residence. Yet, he merely cupped his fists and greeted him as if he was greeting his peers.
On the throne, Nangong Haoming’s expression changed. This Prince of Pingbei was too rude and looked down on the royal authority.
The whole world is the land of the king, and the shores of the land are the subjects of the king!
He had always been high and mighty, respected by tens of thousands of people. Now, he was actually being rude by a youth.
However, as an emperor, he had the demeanor of an emperor. Naturally, he would not speak up for such matters. If he did not speak up, there would naturally be people who would stand up and cause trouble.
“Marquis Pingbei, the good son you raised dares to look down on the sovereign.”
” Li Lingtian, as a citizen of the Empire, you’ve lost all manners. How can this be? Don’t you have any respect for the Ruler and the law?”
The Crown Prince’s Grand Tutor Zhan Taiyan stepped forward and righteously criticized Li Lingtian and his son. Instantly, the other censors stood on Zhan Taiyan’s side.
“When did this young master look down on the Ruler? When did I lose my manners?”
Without waiting for Li Suifeng to speak, Li Lingtian took a step forward and stood in front of Zhan Taiyan. He glared at Zhan Taiyan fiercely. Needless to say, Zhan Taiyan was standing on the Yang family’s side. He was the Yang family’s puppet.
“How rude.”
“You look down on the ruler and insult the tutor.”
“Is this the upbringing of the Northern Marquis Estate? I’ve experienced it.”
? ?
In an instant, more than a dozen censors were criticizing Li Lingtian, including Li Suifeng. Many censors had been instructed by the Yang family to suppress Marquis Pingbei. Li Suifeng was already used to it after all these years.
“You, you…”
Zhan Taiyan was stunned by Li Lingtian’s question. He did not know how to answer at that moment and his nose was covered in dust in front of so many officials.
” Li Lingtian, some time ago, he caused trouble outside the city gate and killed the patrol team. He disregarded the Empire’s dignity. Do you still want to deny it?”
Seeing that Zhan Taiyan couldn’t get off the stage, Yang Zhicheng stood up and said loudly, trying to change the topic.
However, what happened next made him even more unbearable. He was so angry that his face turned green and purple, and he looked extremely ugly.
“Get lost to the side for this Young Master first. I’ll settle the score with you later.”
Li Lingtian glanced at Yang Zhicheng. The Yang family was just a dog in the imperial court, waiting for him to settle the score and wipe out Sky Dragon City.
” Impudent, impudent. How dare you call me young master in the Heavenly Dragon Palace. This is disregarding the ruler, despising the law, and losing etiquette.”
Zhan Taiyan’s face lit up immediately. He had finally found a way to deal with Li Lingtian. Just this alone would bring him under the Empire’s law.
” Alright, you old fart, stop calling me that. I have the right to call me that. I dare to do so in the Heavenly Dragon Palace and the Four Great Empires of the Green Continent.”
” What do you mean by looking down on the law? When did this young master look down on the law? When did this young master look down on the ruler? ” “You’ve lived for decades. Have you lived like a dog?”
As Li Lingtian spoke calmly, the entire Heavenly Dragon Palace became extremely stifling. All the civil and military officials were stunned, including Nangong Haoming who was sitting on the throne.
Was this imperial palace still his? Why was a young man calling him this young master in front of him? It was as if everyone had become a foil..
