540: Chapter 540 The Crowning Ceremony Begins

A while later, in front of the Imperial Capital Military Department, many family heads had arrived.

They were all carrying numerous gifts and valuable items in their hands.

The various items they carried in their hands made the guards of the Imperial Capital Military Department widen their eyes; they simply could not believe what they were seeing.

Goodness.

They came, and brought so many good things.

As expected of Lord Ye, he is simply extraordinary.

"You all arrived early."

Several High-ranking Officials finished setting up the venue and came out, just in time to meet these family heads.

Bai Kai looked at them with a smile on his face, "We didn't have anything to do at home, so we came out early."

"Let's go inside first."

The High-ranking Officials then led Bai Kai, Shangguan Nan, and the others inside.

They arrived inside the Imperial Capital Military Department and looked at the surroundings with shock in their eyes. They hadn't been here many times, and this time, the development here was much better than the last time...

A while later, they arrived at the venue. Seeing the grandeur of the venue, even these family heads felt it was extraordinary.

Goodness, this is too luxurious.

As expected of Lord Ye's Enthronement Ceremony.

It really is different.

"So grand." Beside them, Bai Rou and the others said with smiles on their faces.

Bai Muya also nodded.

A while later, more and more family heads arrived.

They also began to exchange pleasantries.

"You all arrived really early."

"You didn't arrive late either."

"..."

A while later, Ye Qing and his group arrived.

Everyone looked at Ye Qing and hurriedly made way for a path.

"Lord Ye!"

"Lord Ye, congratulations. Today is your Enthronement Ceremony. From now on, should we call you King Zhenbei?"

"I think so. After this Enthronement Ceremony, you will truly be King Zhenbei."

"..."

As everyone spoke, Bai Rou and the others looked at Ye Qing. King Zhenbei...

What an imposing name!

"Lord Ye, this is a gift we carefully prepared. I wonder if you like it." Bai Kai walked toward Ye Qing with a smile on his face, then handed over the gift in his hands, his words sounding quite humble.

After all, he was now a Marquis-level Spirit Master, and the gap between him and Ye Qing was not small. In this world where strength is respected, there is naturally a distinction between superior and inferior.

Seeing Bai Kai giving a gift, the other family heads hurriedly followed.

One gift after another came before Ye Qing.

"Thank you all, I will accept them."

Then, Ye Qing looked toward Zhou Lingxue and the others.

In an instant, Zhou Lingxue and the others understood Ye Qing's meaning and hurriedly came over to collect the gifts.

Seeing this, the family heads understood Ye Qing's meaning and handed all the gifts to Zhou Lingxue and the others.

Gradually, the corners of Zhou Lingxue and the others' mouths twitched. Goodness, there were really too many of these things.

There were so many that they couldn't hold them all; it was truly terrifying.

These family heads were really generous!

Then, Ye Qing exchanged pleasantries with them, and several High-ranking Officials found a separate room for Zhou Lingxue and the others to store these gifts.

"My god, these family heads are really generous, giving my husband so many good things."

"This time, we've struck it rich again."

"However, it seems my husband doesn't really care for these things."

...

While they were talking.

The guards outside overheard their conversation slightly.

Guard: "..."

Goodness, do they not care about these good things now?

This is too terrifying...

However, they thought again about what status Lord Ye had now. He was a hot figure in China, possessed powerful strength, had turned the tide multiple times, and was now conferred as King Zhenbei. It was normal for him to not care about such things.

At this time, on Ye Qing and the family heads' side.

"Lord Ye, we have some doubts, and we don't know if we should say them or not."

Shangguan Nan looked at Ye Qing and said.

Ye Qing frowned, waved his hand, and said, "Just say it."

"It's just that today, inside the Barrier, we all saw the strange phenomenon inside the Imperial Capital Military Department. Did your artifact spirit achieve the Third Ancestral Return?"

"That is our guess."

Ye Qing nodded, "You are talking about that. Yes, my four artifact spirits achieved the Third Ancestral Return. The commotion was indeed a bit big."

Goodness, four artifact spirits all achieved the Third Ancestral Return?!

Generally, one artifact spirit with the Third Ancestral Return is already rare to see, and you managed to get four in one go...

While shocked, their expressions toward Ye Qing became even more worshipful and respectful.

In a flash, it was evening.

A family head looked behind, then froze, his eyes widening. He hurriedly said to the side, "Hurry and make way, the Leader is coming."

The Leader...

The sentence made everyone's heart tremble. They then hurriedly looked behind, with shock on their faces. Many of them had never seen the Leader before.

They looked behind.

Qin Xin brought a group of old men, as well as King Yu and the others.

"Leader... esteemed elders."

Shangguan Nan recognized them and hurriedly greeted them.

The other family heads also greeted them one after another.

"Alright, everyone take your seats. Today is Ye Qing's Enthronement Ceremony, and it was Ye Qing who invited everyone here, so don't be too restrained."

The Leader said, and the family heads also looked at Ye Qing with gratitude in their eyes. If it weren't for Ye Qing inviting them, they were afraid they wouldn't be able to see the Leader and so many Powerful Experts.

They all took their seats.

On the other side, Qin Yi also sat down, then looked at her brother who came to the main seat, her face showing shyness. After all, her brother had previously said...

Then.

The Enthronement Ceremony began.

After the whole process, the family heads watched the scene with longing. However, they then sighed. Even if they became King-level Experts, they wouldn't be conferred as kings. After all, generally, only Powerful Experts in the military, or those who were not in the military but had rendered meritorious service, could be conferred as kings.

Furthermore, even if they could be conferred as kings, they couldn't possibly have such a grand scene. The Leader personally hosting the Enthronement Ceremony—what a terrifying scene that was.

It was truly a symbol of strength and status.

As they thought about this, they looked at Ye Qing above, becoming even more envious.

"Alright, the ceremony is over. I heard that during the last Imperial Capital crisis, you all wanted to contribute, which is very good. Don't be restrained tonight, drink freely. These are my good wines, have a taste."
