Numerous cultivators of the Imperial Dynasty arrived.
The Peerless Hall, once wanted by the Imperial Dynasty, was now one of the most vital communication channels between the imperial court and the immortals beneath the Blood Moon.
Through years of preparation, the perverse and tyrannical Min Tiange had stepped to the forefront of the Heavenly Palace's imperial court.
Immense benefits allowed the powerful nobles and officials of the Imperial Dynasty to accept the Empress's blatant falsehoods.
Immortals were seen as a blessing, and Min Tiange as a loyal subject.
Today, after receiving the Empress's orders, Sect Master Wang Jinhu of the Heavenly Light Sect unhesitatingly went to seek Patriarch Heavenly Light.
Patriarch Heavenly Light remained completely silent, leaving him no choice but to lead the unorthodox cultivators of the Heavenly Light Sect straight into the cloudy sky to reinforce the Peerless Hall.
Upon reaching the cloudy sky, they also saw Perfected Qinghe of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.
The cultivators of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion held array discs, their white robes snapping in the wind.
Following them were the Immortal Suppression Department, the Imperial Protectors Guard, the Emberwing Guard, the Divine Temple...
These absolute peak factions under the Imperial Dynasty all dispatched experts.
Each faction possessed methods capable of contending with the Body Integration realm.
However, most of them bore a trace of dissatisfaction between their brows.
Amidst the current grand scheme of the world, they too were forced to sway according to the Empress's power.
The Peerless Hall, a calamity to the world, had suddenly become a faction standing shoulder-to-shoulder with them and even required their protection—who could easily swallow that?
The powerful shockwaves transmitting from within the Peerless Hall caused the Imperial Capital cultivators, who had come to encircle and hunt, to furrow their brows even deeper, wondering where the Azure Cloud Li Clan got such audacity.
Launching a surprise attack on the Peerless Hall within the Imperial Capital was practically tantamount to suicide.
However, it also fully demonstrated the madness and absolute resolution of the Azure Cloud Li Clan members.
"Sigh." Wang Jinhu waved his hand.
The seniors governing the puppet methods within the Heavenly Light Sect, along with hundreds of the cave's retainers, had already gathered with the various factions.
These factions were somewhat at odds with each other, but this sudden order to protect the Peerless Hall brought them together.
They marched out silently and with murderous intent toward the Peerless Hall.
Reaching the front lines, a person from the Imperial Capital's Divine Temple arrived before the cultivators of the various factions, causing the arriving members of all factions to look displeased.
The Divine Temple.
The Imperial Dynasty possessed numerous factions.
In the past, when the Imperial Dynasty waged war to conquer the world, the Human Emperor was favored by the heavens, so naturally, making offerings to heaven and performing sacrifices were indispensable.
The duty of the people in the Divine Temple was much like the uncivilized people of the Wu Tribe—chanting the immortal language that existed only in ancient times, conveying the will of heaven to the Human Emperor on behalf of the heavens.
During times of war in the past, this was an extremely vital faction for the Human Emperor.
However, after the Imperial Dynasty was established and the Human Emperor suppressed the world, the high-spirited Human Emperor stated bluntly in the imperial court that the Divine Temple was nothing but dogshit.
After such a simple and crude sentence, the Divine Temple, which once communicated the will of heaven, fled and went into hiding, only daring to swagger back into the Imperial Dynasty today.
The world was in chaos, the Human Emperor no longer attended court, and the Empress had gained the Divine Temple under her command.
Only this time, the Divine Temple conveyed the will of heaven on behalf of the Empress.
This Divine Temple cultivator walking to the front wore incredibly magnificent clothing: a black outfit with the vast starry galaxy outlined using powerful materials.
His skin was as pale as a corpse, and mysterious black characters were inscribed on his face.
As he walked, ripples resembling nebulas spawned beneath his black boots.
Wherever his eyes—which seemed to be heavily lined with makeup—looked, it sent a bone-deep chill through people.
The people of the Divine Temple were few, but every single one of them who appeared always exuded an aura of mystery and overwhelming power.
Then, this tall Divine Temple cultivator stared at the woman waiting quietly in front of the Peerless Hall.
Despite his youthful appearance, he issued an old, hoarse warning,
"Zishu Feng, Fifth Princess. I heard you took a trip to the Southern Frontier. In worldly affairs, it is always better to act in accordance with the will of heaven."
The Fifth Princess!
The arrivals from the major factions of the Imperial Dynasty all revealed expressions of shock.
The truly powerful descendants of the Human Emperor were still the batch that had once waged war across the world alongside him.
The princes and princesses born later were all merely seeds the Human Emperor accidentally left behind for pure physical pleasure, and through the exhausted methods of the major factions striving for so-called 'bloodline' and the 'Crown Prince's throne'.
None of those former imperial bloodlines were simple.
This Fifth Princess... had lived for over a hundred thousand years. To think that even she had gotten involved in the Li Clan's surprise attack on the Peerless Hall?
Zishu Feng surveyed the cultivators from all directions.
Although she inwardly criticized the Li Clan's actions quite a bit, the people of the Li Clan were right behind her, so she couldn't show cowardice.
She raised an eyebrow and said to the Divine Temple cultivator,
"Looking at your attire, you are the Junior Commander of Destiny of the Divine Temple.
Instead of properly managing your blessings and disasters, you come to manage whether I comply with or defy heaven?"
"I am a princess of the Imperial Dynasty; am I someone a charlatan like you can control?"
The Junior Commander of Destiny remained expressionless, showing not the slightest fear toward Zishu Feng's identity.
Seeing the Junior Commander of Destiny remain utterly silent instead made Zishu Feng's heart pound wildly.
This Imperial Dynasty had become so unfamiliar that a mere Junior Commander of Destiny didn't even put her in his eyes.
