"Crown Prince has arrived!"
A loud voice, accompanied by the sound of bells, rang out. As the crowd caught sight of the figure emerging from the inner hall, their murmurings abruptly ceased, replaced by a wave of excitement.
The King of the Xuanyue Empire, Haoran Xuan, was advanced in years. In recent years, most of the Empire's major affairs have been handled by Crown Prince Jiuding Xuan, who managed the empire so efficiently that his governance was almost comparable to his father's.
However, the attendees were all prominent figures of the Xuanyue Empire, either Family Heads from major families or Sect Masters from powerful sects, and they had their speculations about certain rumors.
For instance, Yu Shu, Sect Master of the Jade Pot Sect, had a significant change of opinion about Jiuding Xuan because of the incident that occurred in the Jade Pot Cave.
