241: Chapter 241 Kidnapping the Bride? Did You Get My Permission?

"Kneel!"

As Wu Mingkong's red lips parted slightly, the word rang out like a clap of thunder on a clear day, exploding across the Imperial Dynasty's capital street.

An invisible Imperial Aura, wrapped in the Dragon Qi of the Great Xia Dynasty, swept out instantly.

This was not merely suppression in terms of cultivation, but an absolute command stemming from the depths of their Bloodline.

"Thud! Thud! Thud!"

The dozens of Gold-Armored Guards, who had been charging forward aggressively, were struck as if by an invisible giant hand, kneeling in unison.

Their knees slammed heavily onto the hard bluestone, emitting a teeth-grinding sound of cracking.

The weapons in their hands could not be held, falling to the ground with a clatter.

"This... what is going on?!"

The commander of the guards was filled with terror, desperately trying to stand up, but his legs felt like they were filled with lead.

Even his Soul was trembling, instinctively wanting to prostrate himself before this woman in the dragon robe.

That feeling was like an ant facing a Dragon; he couldn't even summon a thought of resistance.

"Who... who exactly are you?!"

Princess Wu Weiyang was also terrified by this sudden turn of events.

Although she was unruly, her cultivation was at the Peak of the Dragon Transformation Realm.

Yet, at this moment, she felt her entire spiritual energy suppressed tightly, her legs weak.

If she hadn't been supporting herself against the Dragon-Scaled Beast beside her, she would have knelt down long ago.

"Who am I?"

Wu Mingkong sneered and slowly took a step forward.

"Boom!"

Every step she took felt like it was treading on everyone's heartbeat, and the atmosphere on the street grew heavier with each one.

"The Imperial Dynasty of today is truly becoming more and more promising."

Her cold gaze swept over the guards kneeling on the ground and finally landed on Princess Wu Weiyang.

"Riding horses to commit crimes, forcefully snatching a man, and even daring to attack me? Is this the upbringing of your Wu family?"

"You... stop pretending to be mysterious!"

Although Princess Wu Weiyang was scared to death, the arrogance of being spoiled since childhood made her continue to talk tough.

"I am the Princess of the current dynasty! If you dare to touch me, my father, the Emperor, will never let you off! The entire Great Xia Dynasty will not let you off!"

"Father, the Emperor? The Great Xia Dynasty?"

A mocking arc appeared at the corner of Wu Mingkong's mouth.

"Since you like to bring up backers so much, I will give you a chance."

She stopped and stood less than three feet away from Princess Wu Weiyang, looking down at her from a height.

"Go, call that father of yours who makes you so arrogant. I want to see if he dares to not let me off, or if I should abolish him first on behalf of our ancestors!"

Once these words were spoken, the whole crowd was in an uproar.

The commoners and Cultivators hiding in the distance were all pale with fright.

Wasn't this too arrogant?

Not only did she suppress the Imperial Guard in the street, but she also wanted the current Sage Emperor to roll over here? And even wanted to abolish the Emperor?

Could this really be some hidden old monster who had come out of seclusion?

"You... just you wait! Don't run if you have the guts!"

Princess Wu Weiyang was trembling with rage.

She quickly took out a golden communication jade talisman and crushed it fiercely.

"Father! Someone wants to kill me! Right on the capital street! Come and save me quickly!!!"

Looking at the golden beam of light shooting into the sky, Wu Mingkong not only did not stop her, but instead leisurely straightened the slightly messy cuffs of her dragon robe.

"Xu Chen."

She turned to look at the man beside her, her originally cold tone instantly softening a bit.

"I've let you see something laughable."

"It doesn't matter."

Xu Chen smiled and shook his head, reaching out to tuck a stray lock of hair behind her ear.

"Every family has its own difficulties. Since this is your family matter, handle it well. I will be here to support you."

This scene made Princess Wu Weiyang's eyes almost pop out of their sockets.

This man, who was so handsome that she couldn't keep her legs together, was actually with this crazy woman in the dragon robe?

And looking at their intimacy, the relationship was obviously extraordinary.

"Hey! That handsome Young Master!"

Even at this point, Princess Wu Weiyang was unwilling to give up.

She couldn't help but shout at Xu Chen, "Don't be fooled by this crazy woman! She must be an old hag who has been Cultivating for thousands of years, using evil arts to maintain her youth!"

"You have no future with her. Come with me, Princess. I am young and beautiful, and I am a Princess. How am I not better than her?"

"Pfft—"

Hua Jieyu, standing behind Xu Chen, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

This Princess really was a piece of work.

Facing death and still not forgetting to poach someone, and doing it right in front of the main person, calling her an old hag?

Wu Mingkong's face turned black as a pot instantly.

Old hag?

Although by age, she was indeed at the level of an Old Ancestor, which woman wants to be called that? Especially in front of her own man!

"It seems that just kneeling is not enough to make you remember."

A cold glint flashed in Wu Mingkong's eyes, and she raised her hand and slapped the air.

"Slap!"

A crisp sound of a slap echoed through the street.

A bright red palm print instantly appeared on Princess Wu Weiyang's exquisite little face.

She was sent spinning three times on the spot before falling to the ground in a sorry state.

"You... you dare to hit me?!"

Princess Wu Weiyang covered her face, looking at Wu Mingkong in disbelief, tears welling up in her eyes.

"From childhood to now, even my father, the Emperor, has never hit me!"

"That is because your father did not teach you well."

Wu Mingkong said coldly, "Since he cannot bear to hit you, then as your Elder, I will teach you a lesson for him!"

"Who is your Junior! You old hag!"

Princess Wu Weiyang completely collapsed, not caring about her demeanor anymore, and sat on the ground throwing a tantrum.

"Why hasn't Father come yet! Wuwuwu... I want you to die without a whole corpse! I want to turn you into a human pig!"

Just then, a sudden rush of air-breaking sounds came from the sky, and several powerful Auras swept in from the depths of the Imperial Palace at high speed.

"Who dares to hurt my beloved daughter!"

Accompanied by an angry shout full of majesty, a middle-aged man wearing a five-clawed golden dragon robe descended from the sky, followed by several old men with unfathomable Auras, clearly the Imperial Dynasty's guest experts and Elders.

"Father!"

Seeing her savior arrive, Princess Wu Weiyang acted like she had grabbed a life-saving straw, pointing at Wu Mingkong and crying, "It's her! This crazy woman not only hit your daughter, but also humiliated Father, saying she wanted to abolish you! You must seek justice for your daughter!"

The middle-aged man, who was the current Emperor of Great Xia, Emperor Wu Tiandao, looked at the glaring red palm print on his daughter's face and was instantly filled with rage.

"Such great courage! In my capital, you dare to hurt my Princess!"

He turned around fiercely, his gaze shooting at Wu Mingkong like lightning, his Saint-Grade pressure exploding without reservation.

"No matter who you are, today you will pay the price..."

However, when his gaze truly landed on Wu Mingkong, the word "price" got stuck in his throat, and his whole body stiffened as if hit by a freezing spell.

It wasn't just him; the several old guest experts behind him, who were originally aggressive and ready to attack, now all had their eyes wide open, as if they had seen a ghost, and their bodies began to tremble violently.

That was... that face... that nine-clawed golden dragon robe that could only be seen in the ancestral temple portraits and highest rituals... and that familiar Aura that made their Bloodline palpitate and their Soul tremble...

"How is it possible..."

An old guest expert with white hair and beard rubbed his eyes tremblingly, his voice stuttering like leaves in the wind, "Old... Old Ancestor?!"

"What Old Ancestor?"

Princess Wu Weiyang still hadn't reacted, still crying, "Father, Great-Grandfather, hurry up and attack! She is the one who hit me!"

"Shut up!"

Emperor Wu Tiandao suddenly came to his senses, backhanded and slapped Princess Wu Weiyang hard on the other side of her face.

"Slap!"

This slap was heavier than the one Wu Mingkong had given, directly stunning Princess Wu Weiyang.

"Fa... Father?"

She covered her two swollen cheeks, looking blankly at the father who usually catered to her every whim, "You... you hit me?"

Emperor Wu Tiandao couldn't care about his daughter's grievance.

He took a deep breath, straightened his dragon robe, and then, in front of everyone, knelt heavily before Wu Mingkong.

"Unfilial descendant Emperor Wu Tiandao, pays respects to the founding Emperor Wu Mingkong!"

Following his kneeling, the Imperial Dynasty's guest experts, Elders, and even all the Imperial Guards behind him, all knelt down like a collapsing mountain of gold and a falling pillar of jade.

"Pay respects to the founding Emperor Wu Mingkong!"

The deafening shouts echoed through the sky, and the whole scene was dead silent.

Princess Wu Weiyang sat on the ground, looking at this absurd scene, her mind a blank.

Founding... Emperor? The one legendary figure who founded the Great Xia Dynasty, hailed as the Emperor of the ages, whose portrait hung at the highest point of the Ancestral Temple to receive incense for ten thousand generations... Wu Mingkong?

Wasn't... wasn't she dead for three thousand years? How could she be standing alive in front of her?

Moreover, she had just tried to snatch her man? And wanted to make her a concubine? And wanted to turn her into a human pig?

"It's over."

Princess Wu Weiyang rolled her eyes, and this time she was truly scared fainted.

Wu Mingkong looked at the Emperor and the crowd kneeling before her, the frost on her face not fading.

"Emperor Wu Tiandao?"

She read the name coldly, "My Great Xia was handed over to you, is this how you govern it? Allowing your daughter to commit crimes, disturbing the people on the street, is this the account you give me?"

"This descendant is guilty! This descendant deserves death!"

Emperor Wu Tiandao's forehead pressed tightly against the ground, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back.

Facing this legendary Old Ancestor, he didn't even have the courage to refute, as this was a ruthless person who had suppressed an era with her own strength!

"Hmph, the death penalty is noted for now."

Wu Mingkong snorted coldly, "However, from today on, the rules of Great Xia must be changed."

After speaking, she turned to look at Xu Chen, the frost on her face instantly melting, replaced by the demeanor of a little woman, even with a hint of seeking praise.

"Husband, are you satisfied with this handling?"

Once these words were spoken, Emperor Wu Tiandao and all the Imperial Dynasty members who were still kneeling on the ground had their jaws hit the floor again.

Hus... Husband?!

The Old Ancestor actually called this pretty boy... oh no, this Senior, husband?

Doesn't that mean that this man who looks younger than them is their... Great-Grandfather?!

Everyone's gaze instantly focused on Xu Chen, their eyes full of awe, shock, and a trace of indescribable complexity.

Is this the legendary... highest Realm of being a kept man? Even the Old Ancestor was taken down?

Xu Chen looked at these "great-grandchildren" who had instantly dropped several generations in status, couldn't help but rub his nose, and smiled helplessly:

"Satisfied, of course I'm satisfied."

"However, can we be more low-key when going out in the future? This seniority rose too high all of a sudden, I'm afraid of losing lifespan."
