Chapter 586
~~
Even Emperor Ji Haotian only laughed with those war emperors. Emperor Ji Haotian looked like he was only forty years old, and he had a calm and steady bearing. But in fact, he was already a hundred years old. He was now a tenth level Dao profound expert, only one step away from becoming a war Emperor.
Ji Haotian's degree of star Soul Fusion had reached above fifty by taking star Source Divine pills, but he had never made that step forward. Some people, even if their degree of star Soul Fusion had reached above fifty, for various reasons, might not have the opportunity yet, and would forever stay in that place, unable to become the Emperor among people. There were many people like that.
In the spacious and luxurious Hall, hundreds of distinguished people from various rich and Noble families were gathered. The entire banquet hall was filled with wine and wine, and laughter and laughter were endless. There was no lack of rich ladies who were acting coquettishly.
Ling Yu's gaze looked into the distance, and he discovered that Ling Cheng and Ling Xu were there as well. Sitting beside them was a group of young masters, and that group of people were all the scions of the most powerful and influential families in the Imperial City. In the past, Ling Yu had never had the chance to attend a banquet of this level, so he had no way of blending into that circle.
When Ling Cheng and Ling Xu saw Ling Yu, they sneered. They said something to the group of young masters and they all turned to look at Ling Yu and ye chen.
"Since there's a newcomer at today's banquet, why don't we go over and meet him?" A handsome young man said with a smile. He was the first to stand up. He was wearing a luxurious golden robe and a white jade crown on his head. He looked elegant and had an extraordinary aura. At first glance, one could tell that he was the leader of this group of young masters.
Ji zhuoxu, the Crown Prince of Zi Hua divine dynasty.
"Brother, this is an internal dispute within the Ling family. It's not good for us to get involved, right?" Sitting next to the young man was a beautiful young lady. She glanced at ye chen and Ling Yu in the distance and whispered in Ji zhuoxu's ear.
This young girl had a slender figure and was wearing a gorgeous silk dress adorned with pearls. Her long black hair fell over her shoulders, and she had a gentle expression, dignified and elegant.
This young couple was the Prince of the Royal Ji family, Ji zhuoxu, and the princess, Ji Zixuan.
No matter if it was the handsome Ji zhuoxu or the beautiful Ji Zixuan, they were both worthy of being Dragons and phoenixes among men. They already had a cultivation of fifth level Dao profound or above at a young age.
However, their degree of fusion with their astral souls wasn't very high, only around 30 to 40. The reason why they could have their current cultivation was largely due to their status as royalty, which allowed them to enjoy rich resources.
Generally, as long as the degree of Astral Soul Fusion wasn't too bad, it was still possible to use a large number of spirit herbs to push to the Dao profound realm. However, those who used spirit herbs often didn't have enough strength. Only those with an Astral Soul Fusion degree of 30 to 40 would use this method. Generally, those with an Astral Soul Fusion degree over 50 would choose to cultivate steadily on their own, only using a small number of spirit herbs as support.
However, Dao profound realm was already a powerhouse who reverberated in an area.
Except for clans like ye chen, those who had an Astral Soul Fusion rate of more than fifty were considered super geniuses. They were very rare. Generally, those who had an Astral Soul Fusion rate of more than thirty to forty were considered outstanding in a place like the Zi Hua divine dynasty.
"It's fine, I'm just taking a look." Ji zhuoxu said, but his gaze fell on ye chen.
Ji zhuoxu said that he wanted to meet ye chen and Ling Yu. Naturally, the others had no objections. Thus, the group of people walked toward ye chen and the others.
Seeing a group of people walking toward him, Ling Yu's expression changed. What was meant to come would come. He looked at ye chen with some worry.
"Don't be impatient," Ye chen said calmly. He sat as steady as a mountain and continued to sip his tea. He did not care about these people.
Seeing ye Chen's calm appearance, Ling Yu could not help but admire him. Compared to ye chen, his own bearing was still far too lacking.
The snow Emperor noticed the situation from a distance but did not walk over. He only smiled indifferently. If ye chen and Ling Yu could not even handle such a situation, they might as well not do anything. He would just watch the show from the side.
Ji zhuoxu walked over with a group of people. His gaze fell on ye chen and Ling Yu's faces but he only saw the two of them calmly drinking tea, almost completely ignoring his arrival.
No matter what, he was still the Crown Prince of Zi Hua divine dynasty. If any of the descendants of the aristocratic families wanted to gain a foothold in the Zi Hua divine dynasty, no one would dare to be so rude to him.
Ji zhuoxu was a little unhappy, and his face darkened.
He was still a member of the imperial family of Zi Hua divine dynasty. Although he was unhappy, he did not express it too directly. He still had some self-restraint.
Ji Zixuan, on the other hand, was very calm as she exchanged a glance with Ling Yu. They had met a few times when they were young. At that time, Ling Yu's parents were still healthy, but after his parents passed away, Ling Yu lost his power in the Ling family and was no longer qualified to enter the palace. Ji Zi Xuan had once thought of helping Ling Yu, but she was only a Princess after all.
Ji zhuoxu did not make things difficult for ye chen and Ling Yu because of his status, but the followers behind him would not let ye chen and Ling Yu off easily.
On the side, Ling Cheng and Ling Xu could not hold back any longer. They harbored evil intentions and could not wait for ye chen and Ling Yu to fall out with the Ji family. At that time, they would have an opportunity. How could they let go of such an opportunity?
"Lingyu, aren't you a little too gutsy? can't you see that the Crown Prince is here? You're actually not coming up to greet me!" Ling Cheng put on the air of a big brother and scolded Ling Yu, who was still sitting in his seat.
Ling Yu, on the other hand, paid no attention to Ling Cheng. With his personality, he was not one to cause trouble. If he was alone, he would stand up obediently and greet the Crown Prince. However, he had already made up his mind to follow ye chen. If ye chen told him to stand, he would stand. If ye chen did not tell him to stand, he would not stand. Who was the Crown Prince?
When Ling Cheng saw that Ling Yu did not even look at him, he was so angry that his face turned black. Just as he was about to say that Ling Yu did not know what was good for him, he saw ye chen take a sip of tea and slowly say, " Is there a rule in the laws of Zi Hua divine dynasty that we have to bow to the Crown Prince during the banquet? "
Of course, there was no such rule in the law but ye Chen's attitude was a little too arrogant. He did not take Ji zhuoxu seriously at all. Ji zhuoxu's frown deepened. This was the first time he had been humiliated in public.
ye chen, you're too arrogant. How dare you talk back to His Highness the Crown Prince like this? so what if you have some power in the Zi Hua divine dynasty? don't forget, this is the Zi Hua divine dynasty, the world of the Ji family! Ling Xu chimed in from the side.
During this period of time, they had some understanding of ye Chen's identity and background. They knew that the reason Ling Yu dared to go against them was because ye chen was backing him up. How could they let go of this opportunity to hit ye chen when he was down? If the ye family and the Ji family fell out, it would definitely be beneficial to them.
The volume of their conversation was not low, and the nearby nobles all looked over. Ji zhuoxu felt a little embarrassed. He was a member of the Zi Hua divine dynasty's royal family, and his every move represented the face of the royal family.
"If your Highness the Crown Prince and your Highness the princess want to sit here, then please sit. As for the others, I'm afraid there's no more space here." Ye chen pointed at the seat beside him and said indifferently. He did not seem to care about Ling Cheng and Ling Xu who were stomping on the ground.
The other young masters who had come with Ji zhuoxu and Ji Zixuan were all furious at ye Chen's rudeness. If not for the occasion, they would have started scolding him.
It was embarrassing to keep standing. Although Ji zhuoxu was a little angry, he sat down in his seat. After all, ye chen had given them a way out. Ji Zixuan also took her seat and looked at ye chen curiously. What was ye Chen's background to be so rude?
as far as I know, the ye family of Yanyun sacred city moved here from the eastern continent and is not a citizen of our Zi Hua divine dynasty. After Ji zhuoxu sat down on the chair, the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. He could not help but say in a deep voice, " if you don't register yourself, according to the laws of the Dao court, my Zi Hua divine dynasty has the right to expel the ye family.
Ji zhuoxu's heart was boiling with anger and his words carried a hint of threat. He was extremely dissatisfied with ye Chen's attitude.
However, ye chen did not even bat an eyelid. He calmly took a sip of tea and said,"Your Highness, is the Crown Prince in charge of the Zi Hua divine dynasty now?"
"Of course not, it's up to my father!" Ji zhuoxu said coldly.
"Then Your Highness the Crown Prince will first have to ask your Royal father if he wants to expel my ye family from the country. Before you speak, you must think carefully. There are too many people in the entire Zi Hua divine dynasty who want to expel my ye family. I, ye chen, have never taken these people seriously. Your Highness, do you really think that the king has the final say in Zi Hua divine dynasty?" Ye Chen's tone was calm but there was a faint sense of deterrence, making the people around him feel a trace of oppression.
The surrounding rich and powerful disciples did not expect ye chen to say such words to the Crown Prince. He was simply too bold.
"If it's not the monarch who has the final say, then is it you who has the final say?" Someone laughed.
a puny ye clan chief dares to be so rude to the Crown Prince? he must be tired of living! Ling Xu rebuked in disdain.
"This kid is really a country bumpkin who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth!"
"Ignorant! You're so arrogant!"
The group of rich and powerful disciples all felt that ye chen was too arrogant and despotic, so they all criticized him.
Ji zhuoxu's eyes were dark. He knew that his father did not have the final say in the Zi Hua divine dynasty. On the Tian Yuan continent, the war Emperor was the one with the most power after the deity servants. The emperors of the various divine dynasties were all products of the war Emperor's power struggle. Other than paying tribute to the combat divisions, the monarch of Zi Hua divine dynasty also had to bribe the various combat emperors in private.
Ye Chen's words were to remind himself that ye chen had the war Emperor as his backer, so he was not afraid of him at all!
Ji zhuoxu gritted his teeth. His father had the support of five combat emperors. Ordinary noble families could not be compared to him. How could a small family like the ye family have the support of so many combat emperors?
