The ceremony of making her the consort through the imperial edict was a high-profile one. It was Gu Yun’s idea to use the phoenix cart to deliver the imperial edict. Besides, Gu Yun predicted that Feng Tianlan would definitely reject the imperial decree and even show up at the palace to settle scores with the emperor.
Therefore, he had prepared a bevy of imperial guards who were Spiritual Masters and above. There were hundreds and thousands of them. Some of them were even Spiritual Kings. He didn’t believe that he wouldn’t be able to take Feng Tianlan down this time.
Feng Tianlan put up a cold expression. Her actions were swift, accurate and vicious. She didn’t use any tricks at all. She just killed whoever got close to her.
Nothing had made her this angry before. The Beiqi Emperor had provoked her, hence he must endure her fury.
After seeing Feng Tianlan kill waves and waves of imperial guards alone, he ordered in a deep voice, “Guards, take Feng Tianlan down. Use any method you need except damaging her face.”
Making her his consort would be meaningless if her alluring beauty was destroyed.
What he liked most about her was her face!
After hearing the Beiqi Emperor’s order, ten figures jumped out and attacked Feng Tianlan, trapping her in a circle.
A Spiritual King warned Feng Tianlan haughtily after seeing her fight a fierce battle. “Miss Feng, we’re both Spiritual Kings. On the account that you’re a genius, I advise you to surrender yourself to the Beiqi Emperor and do what a woman should do. You’ll have unlimited fame and riches. If you give birth to his child, you might be able to give him a next emperor. What’s not to like about that? Why must you oppose the emperor?”
“We’re both Spiritual Kings?” Feng Tianlan glanced around. Among the ten of them, three of them were First-stage Spiritual Kings, four of them were Middle-stage Spiritual Kings while the other three were Advanced Spiritual Kings. It seemed like he was well prepared.
The Advanced Spiritual Master let out a soft ‘hmmph’ saying, “You’re already a First-stage Spiritual King at such a young age. It’s better for you to surrender now. You still have a long way ahead, so you should know what’s best at this time.”
“What if I don’t?” Feng Tianlan raised her head and looked at him with disdain.
“Then I’ll have to fulfil the emperor’s wish and do whatever I want with you except hurting your face.” The Advanced Spiritual King sneered and continued, “A smart person would do the right thing at the right time. A strong-willed woman like you won’t have a good ending.”
Feng Tianlan raised her head and stared at the Beiqi Emperor coldly as she spoke, “You’ve underestimated me, Feng Tianlan, by too much. If it wasn’t for Nansheng, I’d have destroyed the entire Beiqi Nation today!”
“How arrogant.” The Advanced Spiritual King was agitated by Feng Tianlan’s brazen words. He swung his hand and attacked Feng Tianlan together with the other Spiritual Masters. Every move of theirs were fatal.
Such an arrogant person should pay a painful price!
Feng Tianlan looked around with an icy expression. She then raised her bare hands as a hundred feet tall ice blade suddenly appeared in her hands. She looked at the people who were charging at her and shouted coldheartedly, “Begone!”
Right after saying those words, the gleaming light emitted by the ice blade was like an aurora as she made a huge sweep. Wherever the ice blade passed, strong, cold winds were formed, carrying fragments of glazed roof tiles and sending them flying everywhere.
The ten Spiritual Kings who were trying to get close previously had fallen onto the ground after they were cut in the waist by the huge ice blade. The strong spiritual force carried by the ice blade made the imperial guards feel suppressed and hard to breathe. At last, their legs turned soft as they fell straight to the ground.
Even Azurite couldn’t withstand the pressure of such a strong spiritual force. She then fell onto the ground as she cried without tears. When her mistress was angry, she would even suppress her own allies!
