Peerless Taoist

The surroundings were filled with people, and many people had even climbed high to have a panoramic view of the scene before their eyes. Looking over, the entire plaza was filled with people, and it was truly bustling with noise and excitement.    

“Look, the gates of the palace have opened. The Dragon City King has come out!”    

Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted.    

They saw the palace on the northern side of the plaza slowly opening, and countless palace maids and eunuchs walked out in a line with magic artifacts, fan blades, and jade bottles in their hands. There were also countless black-armored soldiers escorting them, and the scene was extremely magnificent.    

The Dragon Flag that symbolized the authority of the emperor was erected in the crowd, and it fluttered along with the wind, causing it to be extremely magnificent. Following the procession of the honor guard, an imperial sedan chair appeared behind them, and it was carried by eight strong men, and they slowly walked towards the dragon platform.    

The surroundings resounded with excited music, and all the members of the Lu Clan and the civil and military officials stood up, and they respectfully saluted the sedan chair.    

“This damnable traitor! He actually dared to ride on the imperial sedan chair, and he deserves to die!” Zhong Mengdie clenched her fists tightly and said while gritting her teeth.    

“Miss, be quiet. Even such a strong person can sense it. If you have any complaints towards him, he will sense it.” He Weng hurriedly reminded her.    

“I know!” Zhong Mengdie was still indignant, and a thought flashed through her mind.    

“If the Qin Emperor was here, perhaps the Dragon City King wouldn’t dare to be so arrogant.”    

The enthronement ceremony was still going on. Lu Hao Tian, the Dragon City King, walked out from the carriage. He had a dignified expression, and his steps were steady, exuding a tyrannical aura.    

A tyrannical pressure enveloped everyone’s heads, and everyone felt an impulse to kneel down.    

The Dragon City King, Lu Hao Tian, had finally appeared!    

He stood tall and straight, wearing a crown on his head, and he was wearing a black robe. There were three different patterns of the sun, moon, and dragon on his body. He had a star emblem on his back, and there was a flame and an insect pattern on his sleeve. There was a jade belt on his waist, and he exuded a noble aura.    

Countless gazes landed on Lu Hao Tian. He appeared calm and unhurried, and there was a hint of pride on his face. It was as if everything in the world was beneath his notice.    

This was a bearing that could only be possessed by someone who possessed absolute strength. It was complete confidence, and it was completely carefree.    

This was the first time many people had seen Lu Hao Tian. Then, when they saw Lu Hao Tian’s true appearance this time, a thought flashed through everyone’s minds. Only this person before them was qualified to be called the emperor.    

“He is Lu Hao Tian!”    

Zhong Meng Die’s fingertips were deeply inserted into her fingers, and the pain spread throughout her brain. However, Zhong Meng Die didn’t notice it at all.    

She looked at Lu Hao Tian, who was standing on the dragon platform. He was tall and mighty, and he was boundlessly powerful. He was clearly the greatest enemy of their Zhong Clan, yet Zhong Meng Die’s heart was filled with incomparable despair in the face of his enemy.    

Suddenly, He Weng reminded her, “Young Miss, don’t look him in the eye.”    

Zhong Mengdie was startled and lowered her head immediately. At the same time, a sense of humiliation flashed through her mind.    

How could she avenge the Zhong Clan if she couldn’t even look at him?    

“The coronation ceremony begins!”    

The eunuch shouted with a high pitch.    

Immediately, the excited music echoed in the surroundings. It was the Melody of the Qin Emperor Ascending to Immortality, which was recorded in an ancient book. The Lu Clan had sent people to rearrange the melody and used it in this coronation ceremony. It was obvious how much importance the Lu Clan attached to this coronation ceremony.    

Under everyone’s gaze, Lu Haotian arrived in front of the dragon throne, but he still didn’t sit down. According to the etiquette, he could only sit on the dragon throne after completing a series of ceremonies.    

Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.    

Among the surrounding crowd, some were shocked, some were excited, some were furious, and some were panicking. All kinds of emotions intertwined together, but no one dared to interfere with the coronation ceremony.    

The Lu Clan members were extremely excited, and all of them had smiles on their faces.    

With Lu Haotian ascending to the throne, the Lu Clan would immediately become an imperial clan. At that time, their status would rise and become a true ancient clan in the Kunlun Mystic Realm.    

“Elder Lu Cun, why isn’t he here?” As the Young Master, Lu Yingjie stood in front of everyone and scanned the surroundings with a frown.    

Most of the people standing beside him were the elders of the Lu Family, and there were also some core disciples of the Lu Family.    

As for Lu Cun, he was now the favorite person of Lu Hao Tian, so he was naturally the focus of attention.    

"Maybe Elder Lu Cun still has a mission on his hands. This is not unprecedented." Someone said with a faint smile.    

"That's true." Lu Yingjie nodded, and a sense of unease suddenly surged out from his brows.    

Lu Yingjie swept his gaze past the young people beside him. They were also dressed in luxurious clothes and had young age, displaying their tyrannical strength. These young people were also the young masters of the Lu Family, and their statuses were equal to Lu Yingjie's. They were the strong competitors for the position of Crown Prince.    

"Could it be them?"    

Lu Yingjie's gaze swept across the faces of every young master, and the uneasiness in his heart grew stronger.    

"These few people are not as strong as me. Now that I have the help of many elders, how can they compete with me for the position of Crown Prince?" Lu Yingjie sneered in his heart.    

Suddenly, Lu Yingjie thought of Lu Yu and Zhao Feihong he met yesterday.    

He naturally saw through the magic robe on Zhao Feihong's body. That magic robe was ancient and filled with a tyrannical aura. It was very likely a magic treasure close to an Immortal Weapon.    

"I wonder if Elder Lu Xiao has succeeded. With such a magic robe by his side, the shortcomings of my defense will be completely eliminated!" Thinking of this, Lu Yingjie's heart burned with passion.    

The people below the dragon platform had their own thoughts. As for what the eunuch beside Lu Hao Tian said, no one paid attention to it.    

The eunuch first read out the decree. It was nothing more than commending Lu Hao Tian’s achievements. After praising him, the eunuch suddenly changed the topic and said loudly,    

“The king’s achievements have surpassed the past and the present, and he has brought salvation to the people. He is the saint that the Kunlun people have sought for all this time. But now, some people are plotting and causing chaos, and they are causing harm to the people. If we do not eradicate them, we will not be able to worship the heavens and the people. The king has decreed that we bring the traitors up and use their blood to sacrifice to the heavens and the earth.”    

“What?”    

The surroundings immediately broke out into an uproar.    

It was not just the people who were watching from all directions. Even the young master of the Lu family, Lu Yingjie, was stunned on the spot.    

“The king wants to eradicate the Zhong family first. This is different from the arrangements!” Lu Yingjie was incomparably shocked in his heart.    

The coronation ceremony was a major event for the Lu family. The ceremonial officials had already informed them of the specific details a long time ago in order to prevent chaos.    

But they did not expect that Lu Hao Tian would change the order at the last moment.
