True Martial World - Chapter 1311

Chapter 1311

An empire was very different from a sect . A sect could have many family clans propping it up together . But an empire was usually helmed by the royal family .

Warriors had extremely long lifespans . Any warrior that had a lifespan of a million years could populate a massive family clan if he wished to . Therefore, the number of people in the Outcloud Empire's royal family was staggering .

Of course, having such a large family meant cruel competition .

Any person that was conferred a title of nobility in the Outcloud Empire was not to be undermined, much less one that was conferred the title of King!

Even Cloud Pool City was a part of King Yi's fief . As such, he was definitely an important figure of the Heavenly South Peaks Meet .

"That is King Yi," someone exclaimed . People saw a middle-aged man step off the turtle, and behind him followed two troops of awe-inspiring golden-armored soldiers . They held halberds and looked very mighty .

"They are the Golden-armored Guard!" exclaimed someone .

The Golden-armored Guard were elites of the Outcloud Empire . They were under the direct jurisdiction of the Outcloud Empire's Emperor but received orders from the various Kings .

An expert like King Yi naturally had no need for the Golden-armored Guard for personal safety . He made them part of his entourage as a symbol of his status .

The middle-aged man was dressed in a four-clawed dragon robe . He landed on the mountain peak with the Golden-armored Guard in tow . He had a tall built as his long hair flowed down his chest . His hands resembled a palm-leaf fan .

Following beside the middle-aged man was a woman dressed in a red palatial gown . She looked twenty and possessed a charming beauty . At that moment, she nestled in the middle-aged man's embrace . Clearly, she was his partner .

The middle-aged man had no intention of abiding by social norms despite facing so many experts . He continued wrapping his arms around the woman's slim waist as though no one was around .

The surrounding crowd did not mind this as they went forward to bow .

"I come from the West Sea's Calabash Island and am the present Island Lord . Greetings, King Yi! I have long heard your famous name . I'm truly blessed to see you today!"

"Greetings, King Yi . I'm Qian Leizi . I met you once ten thousand years ago and age has not seemed to soften your edge after all these years . "

…

The crowd continued to bow and give their compliments . The middle-aged man nodded and unhurriedly allowed them to dispense with the formalities . This scene left the hearts of many juniors stirring .

King Yi was truly a person of paramount importance . Those who were greeting him were esteemed figures, in charge of their various areas . Yet, King Yi continued to hug his beauty in front of these people, accepting the bowing and praise from the crowd in a stoic manner .

Many young juniors could not help but think 'what if I could be such a person in the future' when they took in the bearing of this man .

"So this old man is Princess Redjoy's father . He sure isn't young . "

Yi Yun saw King Yi from afar and stroked his chin . Although the old man looked to be middle-aged, Yi Yun could sense an aged aura from him . The man's vital potential had been expended, and this created a stark contrast with the young and lively girl beside him .

The old man was probably half a foot into a coffin; yet, under such circumstances, he was still able to have Princess Redjoy . As for the concubine beside him, her age was probably not very far from Princess Redjoy’s .

As Yi Yun was pondering over the matter, he saw a group of people fly down from King Yi's royal chariot .

The man and woman that led the convoy were striking . The woman was dressed in red, and was in fact none other than Princess Redjoy .

As for the man, he was dressed in a purple python-robe . He wore a golden headdress, giving him a striking royal bearing!

"It's Prince Boundless Heaven and Princess Redjoy!" said someone .

Prince Boundless Heaven was the great-great-grandson of the reigning Outcloud Emperor . However, the position one had in the royal family's hierarchy was meaningless . Everything depended on talent . Only a person with immense talent could be deemed a prince . If they were weak, they would be eliminated . The children of the royal family that lacked talent would have fates more tragic than any ordinary warrior’s .

Prince Boundless Heaven was the cream of the crop among the princes . And the reigning Outcloud Emperor had yet to designate a crown prince . So although Prince Boundless Heaven was young, he was one of the contenders to be crown prince .

"I never expected Prince Boundless Heaven to arrive with King Yi's entourage . He even came with Princess Redjoy . Previously, there were rumors that Prince Boundless Heaven would marry Princess Redjoy in the future . From the looks of it, it's very possible . "

A few gossipy young geniuses immediately made inferences when they saw the two royals .

To contend for crown prince, the princes naturally needed to seek out allies . King Yi was no doubt a powerful ally . If he could be related to King Yi through Princess Redjoy, Prince Boundless Heaven would take a huge stride forward towards the title of crown prince .

Under such circumstances, Prince Boundless Heaven was naturally at the height of his popularity . No one wished to offend a person who would likely become crown prince .

Instantly, the crowd went forward to acquaint themselves with him or greet him .

Yi Yun was watching afar when he suddenly sensed a malicious gaze fall upon him .

He traced it and realized that Princess Redjoy had discovered him in the crowd . The smile on her face had immediately frozen .

Since they last met, Princess Redjoy was quite unhappy despite having the Brightheart Veranda close down . Everything about the Love Seeking Phoenix In Clouds containing essence of ancient Fey feces was still unknown to ordinary warriors . However, it was already slowly spreading among members of high society . As one of the most outspoken advocates of Brightheart Veranda's dishes, Princess Redjoy was facing unimaginable embarrassment .

In addition, the occasional passing thought of having countless ancient Fey feces essence running through her digestive tract made her feel like retching whenever she saw spirit food . She had not eaten for many days .

It was quite obvious what Princess Redjoy was feeling when she saw Yi Yun at the auction .

"Redjoy, who are you looking at?" Prince Boundless Heaven traced her gaze and saw Yi Yun . He had caught wind of Yi Yun as well . He knew him to be a young alchemist and the description of his appearance resembled that of the youth in front of him . It immediately made Prince Boundless Heaven make the connection .

"Is he the one you were previously talking about?" asked Prince Boundless Heaven .

Princess Redjoy did not answer . That itself was a form of tacit agreement .

Prince Boundless Heaven looked at Yi Yun with shimmering eyes . He knew the sequence of events . Not only had Yi Yun exposed the Brightheart Veranda, he had also mocked Princess Redjoy in the process . He deliberately left no way for Redjoy to save face and this was something Prince Boundless Heaven could not tolerate . After all, Redjoy would one day become his woman . How could he allow his woman to be bullied by another man?

"Redjoy, you don't have to take the Love Seeking Phoenix In Clouds to heart . Be it the world of mortals or warriors, there will always be some impurities that get mixed in with medicine . Don't harp on it . "

Princess Redjoy remained silent . She naturally knew the good intentions of Prince Boundless Heaven . She actually felt neutral towards him . She had no choice but to be with him under instructions from her father .

Prince Boundless Heaven added, "Redjoy, it's fine if you feel uncomfortable . At this auction, I plan on purchasing divine treasures that can cleanse your marrow and body . Take heart, soon all the impurities that might be inside you will vanish . "
