Chapter 1269 1262: Go Ahead and Announce
Qin Yang glanced at the gigantic golden beast vehicle, the golden flag, and the hundred guards clad in golden lion armor, raising an eyebrow.
"Lord, they're people of the royal family."
Beside him, Zhao Tai said in a low voice.
Qin Yang nodded slightly.
The founder of the Great Xia Dynasty was a strong cultivator in the Immortal King Realm, known as the "Golden Lion King". The first King of Great Xia had a mount, a Demon King level Golden Lion King.
Therefore, after the establishment of the Great Xia Dynasty, the flag used was of a Golden Lion King with golden wings, and the mounts used by successive Great Xia Kings were also golden lions.
The golden lion has become a symbol of the royal family.
"They are people of the royal family."
"Why are people from the royal family coming to Wind Ridge Town?"
"Surely they're here to see the lord."
"..."
Below Wind Ridge Town, the cultivators on the street also raised their heads to look at the sky above Wind Ridge Town. Low voices started to emerge.
As Qin Yang gazed over, beside the golden beast vehicle, a middle-aged old man dressed in reddish-brown official attire and with a somewhat sharp face was also looking at Qin Yang and his group.
The man's face was pale, his old eyes a bit cloudy, his hair combed meticulously, holding a golden scroll, his gaze towards the people of Wind Ridge Town inadvertently revealed a sense of superiority.
"Which one of you is the lord of Wind Ridge Town?"
The middle-aged elder dressed in crimson crane official attire took a step forward, his gaze carrying a hint of arrogance as he scanned the group, his voice shrill and piercing as he asked.
Upon hearing this, everyone furrowed their brows slightly.
"I am."
Qin Yang wrinkled his brow and said blandly.
Upon hearing that indifferent tone, the middle-aged elder raised his thin eyebrows.
"Are you Qin Yang, the lord of Wind Ridge Town?"
The middle-aged elder's eyes scrutinized Qin Yang, his brows lifted.
The shrill voice carried a hint of lofty arrogance, as if speaking a word to this small town lord was his privilege.
"What, need me to repeat?"
Upon hearing the elder's tone, Qin Yang's expression turned slightly cold.
At this moment, Leng Feng, behind Qin Yang, also frowned, somewhat annoyed by the elder's tone, carefully examined the beardless middle-aged elder, suddenly showing a strange expression, and asked Zhao Tai, "Elder Zhao, is this person a eunuch?"
"Hm, this person should be the chief steward eunuch of the royal family."
Zhao Tai nodded upon hearing this.
"Heh, turns out it's the same everywhere."
Leng Feng immediately found it amusing.
Beside him, Nangong Feiyang and others also chuckled.
On Earth, it's the eunuchs who deliver decrees in the royal palace; unexpectedly, it's the same in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.
In fact, in the various royal dynasties within the Immortal Cultivation Realm, the kings take many concubines to produce more heirs, and to prevent palace scandals, eunuchs are employed.
"What's so funny, boy? I am He Zhong, Chief Steward Eunuch of the Great Xia Royal Palace!"
Seeing Leng Feng laughing, He Zhong's sharp facial expression changed, and he spoke with a shrill voice.
"We know you're a eunuch, no need to emphasize."
Leng Feng sneered, saying.
"You...!"
He Zhong's face turned white, suddenly furious, glaring at Leng Feng.
"I've seen it now; the people of Wind Ridge Town are truly audacious."
He Zhong spoke with a chilly expression.
Being someone close to the current King of Great Xia, his status was extraordinary, receiving great hospitality wherever he went. However, upon bringing the king's decree to such a remote town, he was ridiculed by a boy, and this little town lord seemed unbothered by him.
"Save the nonsense, I don't care who you are. What's your business in Wind Ridge Town?"
Qin Yang frowned, directly asking He Zhong.
Upon hearing this, He Zhong's beardless pale face became more sinister, and there was a hint of fury in his eyes.
Wow!
The next moment, He Zhong unfurled the golden scroll in his hand.
"Qin Yang, lord of Wind Ridge Town, hear the decree!"
He Zhong glanced sideways, his shrill voice enveloped in a subtle spiritual power, echoing throughout Wind Ridge Town.
"The King of Great Xia?"
Qin Yang raised his eyebrows, surprised that the first to arrive at Wind Ridge Town from the royal capital was someone representing the current King of Great Xia.
"Go ahead and read."
Qin Yang looked at He Zhong, saying flatly.
"Are you not going to kneel to receive the decree?"
Seeing Qin Yang still standing straight in the sky, He Zhong raised his thin eyebrows and asked sharply.
"Just read it like that."
Qin Yang frowned, responding coldly.
"You're audacious! I came here by the king's order, with the decree ahead. You dare not kneel to receive the decree?"
He Zhong pointed at Qin Yang, his voice piercingly sharp.
"Who are you to demand that I kneel to receive a decree?"
Hearing this, Qin Yang's face turned cold, his voice icy.
Upon hearing Qin Yang, He Zhong's eyes bulged, his thin eyebrows lifting, the hand holding the golden scroll shaking.
Clearly, he was infuriated by Qin Yang's words.
"How dare you defy the king's decree, so reckless! I've never seen..."
He Zhong's voice became even shriller, fine veins bulging on his forehead.
However, before he could finish, Qin Yang interrupted.
"Read it or don't; otherwise, leave. I don't have time to waste with you."
Qin Yang stared at He Zhong, speaking coldly.
Upon hearing Qin Yang, tens of thousands of cultivators below in Wind Ridge Town couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion; the lord was indeed formidable.
Although the royal family is somewhat declining now, their foundation is still strong; otherwise, they wouldn't be ruling the Great Xia Dynasty.
However, He Zhong's words indeed cause dissatisfaction, so it's no surprise the lord shows no mercy, not giving the royal family any face.
"You, you...!"
He Zhong pointed at Qin Yang, white-hot anger burning within his eyes.
Hidden beneath that was a deep sense of humiliation, as he perceived the town lord and his people beneath his status dared to look down on him.
"Good, you small town lord really challenged expectations, daring to disrespect the king's decree."
He Zhong's voice sharp, fixated on Qin Yang as he spoke.
"Where is Golden Lion Guard Commander Gu Yunxiao?!"
He Zhong turned, directing his gaze towards the hundred guards clad in golden lion armor, speaking sternly.
"I am here."
Upon hearing He Zhong's words, a middle-aged man in golden armor and short beard stepped out from the Golden Lion Guards, saluting He Zhong.
"This man dares defy the king's decree; apprehend him and those behind him!"
He Zhong pointed at Qin Yang, speaking sharply.
He must capture the audacious youth today.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yunxiao's gaze shifted to Qin Yang and the people behind him, including Nangong Feiyang and others.
Suddenly, his gaze landed on eight elders with formidable aura and the hundred House Guards dressed in red armor.
Right then, Gu Yunxiao's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
He's not blind; the aura from the white-clad lord wasn't fully revealed, but the aura of the eight elders were all at the Immortal Venerable Realm level, whereas the hundred House Guards in red armor were entirely at the Peak of the Immortal Spirit Realm.
As one of the ten commanders of the Golden Lion Guards, his strength was at the Early Stage Immortal Venerable Realm peak, with two Early Stage Immortal Venerable deputy commanders, totaling three Immortal Venerables.
Their side had eight Immortal Venerable strength elders. How could they fight that?!
Moreover, even though the Golden Lion Guards are elite from the royal capital, their strength is at the Late Stage Immortal Spirit Realm. Though they appear mighty, their overall aura is slightly weaker than the opposing side.
