In the Nanshan Empire, no monk can fly above the palace, otherwise he will inevitably be shot down by the monks inside, although Xuan Qingzi hates the royal family, but he did not deliberately make trouble in such a matter, and after the group came to the front of the palace, it slowly fell.

"The elders are here, it's really a disappointment!"

At this moment, a man in armor and a guard-like man greeted him from inside the gate and said to everyone with a smile on his face.

The man's aura was extremely domineering, just standing there, there was a terrifying coercion emanating out, and among the students who followed the elders to attend the banquet, only a few people such as Zhou Qingya, Wanhe Mountain, Luo Sheng, and Su Qingcheng who had broken through to the Tongtian Realm could withstand such a terrible coercion, and the remaining few students were a little out of breath under such coercion.

Xuan Qingzi smiled faintly, and this coercion was eliminated in an instant.

"Has the banquet started?" Xuan Qingzi said.

"Not yet, but it's about to start, what about the Courtyard Master, and is he going to be in the future today?" the Ouchi guard also smiled, and then asked casually.

"The master of the courtyard is in retreat, and he really can't get out of his body, so today I will congratulate the emperor on his birthday. Xuan Qingzi said calmly.

"So that's the case, then please enter the banquet first, the people from the major families of the Nanshan Empire, as well as the heroes of all walks of life in the cultivation world, are almost here at this moment. ”

Xuan Qingzi nodded, and then the group walked into the palace compound with a calm demeanor.

The entire Tianlin capital city is celebrating, not to mention in the palace, there are lights everywhere, and it is very lively, but those who can enter the palace to participate in the birthday banquet are all important figures in the Nanshan Empire, either important figures in a big family, or heroic cultivators who are well-known in the empire, in short, none of the people who participate in the birthday banquet are general.

But even in such an environment, the arrival of Qingtian Academy and his party still immediately attracted everyone's attention, and even the noisy voices in the banquet square were much quieter at this moment.

"The Great Elder of Qingtian Academy, bring all the elders in the academy and the students of the Heavenly List to come and congratulate His Majesty Emperor Zhao on his birthday!"

Xuan Qingzi's yellow bell-like voice resounded throughout the palace compound, causing everyone's eardrums to shake slightly.

Many people's eyes were involuntarily attracted.

At the end of the square, there are nine ladders leading to the heights, and the current king of the Nanshan Empire, Emperor Zhao, is sitting on the gilded dragon chair at the top of the ladder, exuding a momentum and majesty that suppresses all directions.

In fact, for ordinary people, looking directly at the emperor is the crime of bullying the king, but the identity of Xuan Qingzi and others is naturally not among them.

He and Emperor Zhao looked at each other quietly for a moment, and on the latter's majestic face, a faint smile finally appeared, and the voice permeated the entire square: "The Great Elder has a heart, but why hasn't the Lord of Yuwen Academy been here?"

"The main study of the institute is Risheng, and now it is in retreat, so I can't be there in person today, he specially asked me to apologize to the emperor, I will have a generous gift, and please don't blame the emperor. Xuan Qingzi bowed and said.

"Oh, what kind of gift?"

Emperor Zhao raised his eyebrows and asked with interest.

Xuan Qingzi took out a Sumeru ring from his bosom and said: "This is a rare Tianming Bishou grass, which can prolong life for a hundred years after taking it, and on the emperor's centennial birthday, if you take this thing, you can extend your life for a hundred years, so that this hundred years of time is equivalent to not reducing at all." ”

Hearing this, everyone present, whether it was the royal family or those major families who came to the banquet, became famous and cultivated, their eyes were firmly staring at the Sumeru ring in Xuan Qingzi's hand, such a heavy treasure that can prolong life, for anyone, it is undoubtedly a great attraction.

Imagine, if a hundred-year-old Tongtian Realm monk reaches the peak of the Nine Heavens, he is about to sit down, and then take this Heavenly Immortal Bishou Grass to increase his longevity by a hundred years, and then break through to the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm in these hundred years, and at the same time his cultivation has increased greatly, his longevity has also risen by leaps and bounds, what an enviable thing it would be?

Many people's eyes showed a look of longing, but they also knew very well that this longevity treasure was given to Emperor Zhao by the great elder of Qingtian Academy, and it was not something they could touch at all, so even if they coveted it in their hearts, they didn't dare to give birth to the slightest snatching heart.

Emperor Zhao's eyes also narrowed slightly, he didn't expect that Qingtian Academy would send such a heavy treasure to him, could it be that all the people in this academy were fools?

He smiled and ordered the imperial guards to put away the Sumeru ring, and then said: "It's really a waste of money, the birthday banquet will start immediately, please take a seat." ”

Xuan Qingzi bowed slightly, and then led everyone to sit down on the VIP seat.

Luo Sheng casually found a place to sit down, before he was also wondering why Xuan Qingzi brought them to the palace, but seeing the latter's performance just now, he knew it.

At this time, he suddenly felt a murderous gaze falling on him, which made him stunned, and then looked in the direction where his gaze came.

That was where the Ji family was located, and Ji Changling on the main seat was staring at him with a poisonous snake-like gaze, and his body exuded a cold aura like substance.

Luo Sheng looked at him without flinching, and even secretly hoped that the other party would come over to find trouble, he wanted to see if this was the case, how the royal family would deal with it on such occasions.

However, what disappointed him was that although Ji Changling and the Ji family hated him, they also had a sense of the overall situation in their hearts, knowing that this was not an occasion for them to make trouble, so after strangling Luo Sheng with their eyes, there was no next move.

At noon, the birthday feast begins.

The emperor's birthday banquet has many rules, and even if it starts, he can't put down chopsticks immediately, which makes Ao Dali, who has been hungry for a long time, quite unhappy, and can't move chopsticks in the face of a table of delicacies from the mountains and seas, which is undoubtedly a torment for him.

Under the guidance of the priests, Emperor Zhao first put on formal clothes to worship the sky, and then paid homage to the previous emperors of the Zhao family...... It is said that it is the first emperor of the past dynasties, but in fact, there is only one, that is, the old lady of the Zhao family who faked his death, after all, the Zhao family has only gained control of the Nanshan Empire for a few hundred years.

Seeing this, Luo Sheng, who knew the truth, couldn't help but sneer secretly, this emperor Lao'er pretended to be really similar enough.

......
