Inside Emperor Shandian Bai's Palace, Ryu and his entourage were served a variety of foods on an elongated table.
Although they were from the common people, Emperor Shandian Bai did not take issue with it.
Even some of the higher-ups just smiled shaking their heads while watching the behavior of their guests could even be called Special Guests.
On the other hand some Nobles felt uneasy seeing the incident, but they did not dare to show their irritation considering that Emperor Shandian Bai had said that they were special guests.
After a while, General Zheng Lie and Emperor Shandian Bai appeared.
Behind them was a very handsome and dignified Youth with two Very Beautiful Women, Crown Prince Shandian Dalu! Princess Shandian Jinzi and Empress Dong Nushin
" Honor Your Majesty the Emperor! "
" Honour to Her Majesty the Empress"
" Honor the Crown Prince and the Princess" Everyone in the room lowered their heads.
Emperor Shandian Bai replied with a smile and a nod of head greeting kindly to them.
Guests were amazed to see the good looks of the Crown Prince especially the Princess who is very graceful with a clean white face.
" First of all we of the Lightning Imperial Party would like to thank you for your assistance to the Empire against the rebels. " Emperor Shandian Bai
" Mainly for the Sacred Mountain Sect who had light hands. We the palace side also hope to establish cooperation with the Sacred Mountain Sect. "
" For Swordsmen, we also welcome if anyone wishes to become an Imperial Warrior. " Emperor Shandian Bai closed the conversation.
The Emperor then looked at a young man who looked charismatic with an Eagle-like look.
Behind Emperor Shandian Bai was also a pair of eyes that kept looking at Ryu's face full of admiration for his good looks.
" Are you Ryu's Swordsman?" Emperor Shandian Bai asked the young man who was standing at the very end of his group.
" Right Your Majesty the Emperor. " Ryu a friendly smile bowed her head.
" Deeg." Princess Jinzi's heart saw a smile from Ryu as if looking at him, albeit only at a glance.
" I'm very grateful for your heroic actions to reverse the battle situation that brought great influence to victory. Moreover, you have subdued the Sacred Tiger Monster who often makes a roar in this Lightning empire. " Said the Emperor.
" It has become my duty as a citizen of the Glorious Lightning Empire." Ryu replied while lowering his head.
" ah... I almost forgot, Guards." Said Emperor Shandian Bai while turning towards the Guards.
Instantly the Guards brought several Chests in front of them.
" In my gratitude, I hope you can receive a small gift from me. "the Emperor handed out a Small Box of 10,000 Spirit Stones to each of the Cultivators who went to war, saying, 2 Large chests to the Sect Elders and one large chest each to Ryu and all his Wives.
That of course made Ryu and his 23 wives and the 30 young Cultivators who came with him put on a sour face.
It was not because of the matter of the given amount, but they had already sensed enough of their spoils in the Black Dragon Sect.
Especially for Ryu and his wife who are not interested in all the Treasures.
" I'm sorry, Your Majesty the Emperor... Not the intention of the servant to refuse, but it would be better if this treasure could be used for other purposes." Ryu saluted.
" Swordsman Ryu, your good intentions are very noble. But don't disappoint us." Said Emperor Shandian Bai.
" His Majesty the Emperor... If you are pleased, we beg you to retreat to the Sacred Mountain Sect. " said Elder Wu.
Elder Wu and the others actually wanted to take Ryu and his wife with them. But the situation was extremely unfavorable, as they were the honored guests of Emperor Shandian Bai.
" Well if that's your wish, I can't hold you back. Once again, thank you all for your help." said Emperor Shandian Bai Sincerely.
" Good Your Majesty, we're saying goodbye. " Elder Wu and his entourage headed out of the Palace.
" If so, we also beg Your Majesty the Emperor's favor." Ryu saluted and left the room with his new group.
The Emperor raised his hand gesturing to let in a friendly smile.
After Ryu and his wife and the other Cultivators also beg to resign.
However there were also those who sought the fortune of becoming a Lightning Imperial Warrior at Emperor Shandian Bai's previous bid.
" dad... " Daughter Shandian Jinzy looks moody.
" What's the matter with my daughter? " Ask the Emperor Shandian Bai.
" Why don't you let Swordsman Ryu stay here? Didn't he help the Empire a lot?" Jinzy looked embarrassed.
Seeing the reaction of his son Emperor Shandian Bai looked wry smile because he knew the wishes of his daughter.
" My daughter... Did you like it? " Ask the Emperor.
" Deeg." Princess Jinzy's heart seemed to stop instantly her cheeks turned red and then nodded slowly.
" Huh... My daughter... Did you see the 23 veiled women nearby earlier? The 23 women were the wives of the Swordsman Ryu. Do you want to be the 24th wife?" The Emperor slightly teased his real son that he was expecting such.
But Emperor Shandian Bai also did not want to betroth his Daughter without the consent of the Daughter and certainly had to get the approval of Ryu's wife.
Hearing his father's words, Princess Jinzy's body felt like it was struck by lightning in broad daylight and even her heart felt sore.
He did not expect that the person he liked had even had 23 wives.
" What? All 23 women were wives of Swordsman Ryu? I didn't expect the young man to be so lucky to have a beautiful wife equal to Zy'er. Even though they wear face coverings, but I'm pretty sure. " The Crown Prince was shocked and shocked.
Of course Princess Jinzy was furious then ran away from the room.
Seeing the incident, the Emperor and the Empress could only shake their heads.
*******
In the Jade Forest there were two figures that looked with sour faces even like a crying person staring at all the buildings in the Black Jade Sect had now become Ash.
" Brother Heng... What do we do now? All of our sects have now become ashes" said Patriarch Guo.
" For now, I have no purpose. Sib... Who exactly has burned our sect to the ground? " Tell Patriarch Heng.
" I don't know for sure either. I think the one who did it was the Black Flow Sect. But who would dare to do it? " said Patriarch Guo.
" It is better now that we look for a new place to gather strength with the Treasure left in the s.p.a.ce ring. That way we will get our revenge. " Said Patriarch Heng.
They left the place trying to find new territory to establish the Black Jade Sect and the Black Dragon Sect where the two Sects had been leveled with the ground.
