Peerless God Emperor

At this moment, a powerful voice drifted over from behind. Lu Wang and the rest turned, only to see several silhouettes walking over. One of them was a middle-aged man with an imposing countenance and an unfathomable aura, and beside him was a young man.    

If Qin Xuan was here, he would have definitely recognized this young man.    

It was none other than Zhao Junye, and the middle-aged man beside him was none other than Zhao Wang.    

Zhao Junye was defeated in the Immortal Kingdom Tournament, and was sent back to the Qingxuan Continent. After that, she stayed in the Zhao Palace, and today, she accompanied the King of Zhao to the Imperial Palace.    

"King Zhao, how have you been?" Although they were all different surnamed Wang, they had often fought in private, so their relationship could not be considered close. Now that they had come to the immortal palace, they still had to put on an act on the surface.    

"Fortunately, King Lu looks heroic and handsome. It seems that he was a few years younger than before." This caused strange expressions to appear on the faces of the crowd. Was King Zhao praising King Lu?    

Not only were they puzzled, even King Lu was puzzled. What was this fellow trying to pull off today?    

"I saw a few of you chatting just now. I wonder what you were talking about." Zhao Wang asked King Lu while looking at him.    

"It's nothing. It's just a trivial matter." King Lu lightly said, "It's getting late, we should go in earlier. Don't let the country leader wait for us."    

After he had finished speaking, he left. The others around him bid farewell to Zhao Wang and left with him.    

The eyes of Zhao Wang narrowed as he stared at the departing silhouettes of those experts. A dangerous glint of light flickered in his eyes. A trifling matter like this shouldn't be so simple.    

"Fortunately, you left the Asura Hell in advance and escaped calamity." Zhao Wang said as he looked at Zhao Junzhan, who was standing beside him.    

"Escaped a calamity?" Zhao Junye looked puzzled. When he came back, his father was still very unhappy, so why did he feel lucky now?    

"Do you know what Lu Xiao did in the Asura Hell?" Zhao Wang asked again.    

"What did he do?" Zhao Junye's eyes narrowed, as if he felt that something was amiss.    

"He was jealous of Qin Xuan's talent, he actually sent people to assassinate Mu Jinyu and Qin Xuan. Now that the matter has been exposed, I'm afraid that the King will have to deal with this matter in the palace." King Lu sneered. Did King Lu think that no one would know about this if he didn't tell them?    

"There's actually such a thing!" Zhao Junye's heart jolted. She was somewhat shocked by Lu Xiao's courage. She had actually dared to assassinate Mu Jinyu and kill a princess of an immortal country. This was a heinous crime.    

More importantly, Qin Xuan was also involved. At that time, Qin Xuan was just a nobody and could be killed easily. But now, he was the King of Qin. Assassinating him, what kind of crime was that?    

It was not excessive to kill Lu Xiao.    

At this time, Zhao Junye was also somewhat glad, if he was still in the Asura Hell, he would inevitably have a feud with Qin Xuan, and things would no longer end like this, but in this world there were no 'ifs'. If he had stayed in the Asura Hell, perhaps Qin Xuan would not have come to Qing Xuan, nor would he be conferred the title of King of Qin.    

Somehow, everything seemed to be predestined.    

"I truly never would have thought that the person who fought on the same stage back then would now be a king. This difference …" Zhao Junye could not help but sigh with emotion, feeling that everything was a dream. It had only been a few months, but things had already changed so much.    

"Some people have extraordinary lives, and he is this type of person. It is understandable that you are inferior to him." Back then, when Zhao Junye had been sent back, he had been infuriated. He had predicted that Zhao Junye should have stayed behind with Lu Xiao.    

Now, he completely understood.    

In the grand hall, one figure after another entered and took their seats. The closer they got to the front, the higher their status.    

As soon as Lu Wang entered the main hall, his gaze immediately turned towards the front. The first row had a total of five seats, and two figures were already seated. One was Mu Wang, and the other was Yin Qin's father, King Yin.    

However, the two of them did not sit in the center. It was as if they had deliberately set aside seats for each other.    

The corners of King Lu's mouth curled up in a smirk. He strode forward and soon reached the first row. At this moment, both Mu Wang and Yin Wang looked at King Lu, and a hint of coldness flashed through Mu Wang's eyes as he replied, "King Lu seems to be in a good mood today."    

"Not too bad." King Lu smiled and nodded. Then, he walked to the center seat and sat down.    

When Mu Wang and Zhao Wang saw this scene, they could not help but sneer in their hearts. This guy was quite self-aware. He immediately snatched the core position, but was he supposed to sit here?    

Just as King Lu sat down, a guard's figure walked over, bowed to King Lu and said, "King Lu, this seat is not yours."    

"What did you say?" Upon hearing these words, King Lu's gaze froze. Wasn't this seat his?    

"There were no specific arrangements for the previous seats, but now there's one?" King Lu looked at that person and asked with furrowed brows, as if trying to suppress the anger in his heart.    

If this wasn't the imperial palace, he would have been infuriated. Beside him, both Mu Wang and Yin Wang were watching, but this man ran over to say that this wasn't his place. Where would he put his face?    

Does that mean he's not fit to sit here?    

"It hasn't changed much since the past, but the country's ruler bestowed the title upon the Duke of Qin. He specifically instructed for the Duke of Qin to keep the center seat. What do you think?" At this point, the guard stopped speaking and looked at King Lu. His meaning was obvious. This was the Duke of Qin's seat, and he wished King Lu would change seats.    

At this moment, King Lu's heart was filled with rage. The Emperor had given his seat in the middle to an Emperor level character, what was the meaning of this?    

Could it be to support him and suppress the four of them?    

"Then where should I sit?" King Lu said in a low voice, his expression was already very ugly.    

"Other than here, you can take any other seat, King Lu." The guard replied.    

"If you have specific plans for the next time, you'd better make them clear in advance." King Lu's cold gaze swept over the guards. He stood up, and with a look of displeasure, he walked to the furthest right side and sat down. On his left, there was King Yin.    

"Yes. Next time, remember to remind me." The guard said respectfully and left.    

Both Mu Wang and Yin Wang looked towards King Lu with brilliant smiles on their faces. They were clearly taking pleasure in King Lu's misfortune.    

"Next time, King Lu must think it through clearly. If he sits in a place he shouldn't sit in, then he'll lose face if he's invited away." Mu King looked at King Lu and said, the sarcasm in his voice was obvious.    

King Lu's gaze was ice-cold. These two people must have known this for a long time, yet they deliberately chose not to warn him, humiliating him.    

King Yin glanced at King Lu. Although he did not mock him, he was inwardly overjoyed. King Lu had always been proud and conceited, always striving for the number one position. Even without thinking about it today, he sat in the middle.    

Not long after, Zhao Wang also arrived. When he saw that there were still two seats left, his eyes went blank for a moment before realizing that there was an additional Qin Wang.    

King Lu then spoke to King Zhao, "King Zhao is the oldest, so he should be placed in the middle."    

Beside him, Mu Wang and Yin Wang's eyes narrowed when they heard his words. This King Lu was really ruthless. He was purposely trying to trick the King into sitting in the middle of the table.    

"Despicable!" Mu Wang cursed in his heart. Just as he was about to remind Zhao Wang to not fall for the trap, he heard Zhao Wang smile and say, "I'm already old. Right now, it's the youngsters' world. I'll leave the middle seat to the Duke of Qin."    

As he spoke, he walked to the furthest seat on the right and sat beside Mu Wang.    

"..." King Lu's expression froze, he felt disbelief.    

This fellow had always liked to compete with him in the past, so why didn't he choose to fight with him today?    

Both Mu Wang and Yin Wang's eyes revealed a strange light. Zhao Wang's reaction was extremely fast. Did he really not want to fight, or did he see something?    

"Why doesn't King Zhao sit in the middle?" Compared to the other two, although he and Zhao Wang were not considered good, they were not considered bad either.    

"If none of you are willing to sit, will I?" He wasn't an idiot, he was the last person who came. He didn't believe that he would be left with such a good gift.    

Moreover, he and King Lu had never been on good terms, yet King Lu called him the oldest today and initiated him to sit in the middle. This already proved that there was a trap involved, so how could he possibly go in?    

"Indeed, King Zhao has good eyesight." From this point of view, King Zhao was smarter than King Lu.    

After the four kings were the officials, and finally the prince and princess. Although the prince and princess were the sons of Yi Sheng and had a respectable status, they were still the descendants of the younger generation, and their cultivation were still too low. Most of them were only at Emperor's realm, so they could only sit at the back.    

"Why isn't he here yet?" King Lu glanced at the empty spot in the middle, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. Did that kid get lucky? He was sealed by the Duke of Qin, so why was he putting on airs now?    

Let them wait here with so many saints.    

"The king has arrived!" At this moment, an incomparably sonorous voice resounded from outside the hall, resounding throughout the sky.    

Hearing this, a sharp glint flashed across King Lu's eyes. The King had already arrived, but he still hadn't arrived. This was already a great sin.    

The four kings, officials and princes stood up, preparing to welcome the arrival of Yi Sheng. A moment later, they saw several figures walking in from outside the hall. One of them was naturally Yi Sheng, while beside him were two youths, one was Yi Chen, while the other was Qin Xuan.    

Seeing Qin Xuan standing beside Yi Sheng, King Lu's expression turned stiff again. He did not know what to say.    

He thought Qin Xuan was using his different surname, Wang, to put on airs, but he did not know that Qin Xuan had been by Yi Sheng's side the entire time.    

At this moment, he also realized that Yi Sheng's respect for Qin Xuan had exceeded his expectations. He was really nurturing Qin Xuan. It was very likely that Qin Xuan would surpass the four of them in the future!    

Under countless gazes, Yi Sheng sat on the supreme throne while Yi Chen sat beside him. That was the position of future king.    

Qin Xuan walked to the first row and first nodded at Mu Wang. Then, he sat in the middle of the row.
