291: Chapter 291 I'm almost too embarrassed to kill you!
Meanwhile, the atmosphere inside the Golden Throne Hall of Great Yan was already tense.
Prince Regent Bi Changkong, leader of the remnants of Bi Yuntao's faction and holder of heavy military power, was currently standing below the steps of the dragon throne, spouting nonsense in the hall with a group of die-hard cronies.
"A full ten days! Ten days, everyone!"
He extended two fingers, gesturing forcefully in the air, spittle flying everywhere.
"His Majesty and that Cao Kun have been in the bedchamber for ten full days without stepping out even half a step! They've even skipped the morning court!"
"A country cannot go a single day without a ruler. His Majesty's actions are simply licentious and lawless, treating the tens of thousands of years of Great Yan's foundation as a child's play!"
Bi Changkong became more agitated as he spoke, turning to look at the assembled officials.
"Let me ask you all, does this Great Yan belong to the Yue family, or the Cao family?!"
The officials lowered their heads, observing their noses and hearts.
No one dared to pick up on that remark.
Everyone knew clearly in their hearts what was going on.
Bi Changkong dared to be so arrogant today, even moving the one hundred thousand Black Armored Imperial Guards outside the palace, clearly prepared to force the throne.
Beside Bi Changkong stood three Loose Cultivator Guest Elders with an immortal air.
Their eyes were slightly closed, spiritual power circulating around their bodies, faintly emitting the terrifying Spiritual Pressure of the Early Stage of the Body Integration Stage.
This was Bi Changkong's source of confidence.
He had emptied the treasury of the Princes Mansion to hire the renowned Three Elders of Tiancan from the Central Plains.
These three were all experts of the Body Integration Stage, ruthless characters among the Loose Cultivators.
They killed and snatched treasures, stopped at nothing, and had countless souls under their hands.
Among the officials, an Censor-in-Chief with graying temples stood out tremblingly.
"Prince Regent! You have the ambition of a wolf; you intend to revolt!"
"Consort Cao is the Son of the Plane recognized by the blessings personally bestowed by the Heavenly Dao! He once slew a Mahayana Stage Devil Head with his sword in the Ancient God Ruins, saving thirty thousand Prodigies of the Central Plains!"
"If you dare to bring troops to force the throne, are you not afraid of the Consort's wrath, which will bring about your total destruction?!"
Hearing the words "slew a Mahayana Stage with his sword," Bi Changkong sneered and laughed out loud.
"Hahaha! Old Censor, you are truly senile!"
"What Son of the Plane! Who doesn't know that there is Law suppression within the Divine Ruins? He merely used the suppression Laws of the Ancient God Ruins to take advantage!"
"Now that he is out of the Divine Ruins, even if he has Heavenly Dao Laws protecting him, he is just a mere ant of the Void Refinement Stage, what is he worth!"
"Today, we shall purge those around the ruler and slay the evil demon!"
"If His Majesty remains bewitched by that evil person and refuses to repent, then this Great Yan's empire should have a wise ruler to sit on the throne!"
Hearing these treasonous words, the one-eyed old man who led the Three Elders of Tiancan stroked his beard and spoke arrogantly.
"What the Prince Regent says is absolutely correct."
"The three of us have roamed the Central Plains for thousands of years and have killed countless Prodigies."
"He is just a wet-behind-the-ears brat; even if he is the Son of the Plane now, so what?"
"If he appears today, I will certainly extract his Divine Soul and light his sky lantern!"
The other two old men echoed him, their expressions arrogant, certain they had Cao Kun in their grasp.
The officials were pale, and the old Censor was so angry that he vomited a mouthful of blood and collapsed dejectedly.
No one dared to speak again.
One hundred thousand troops besieged the city, with three Body Integration Stage experts sitting in command.
This dead end was simply unsolvable.
Just as Bi Changkong thought the situation was settled and was preparing to order his men to rush into the Empress's bedchamber to capture them.
"Creak!"
The heavy doors of the Golden Throne Hall were slowly pushed open from the outside.
Sunlight shone into the hall through the crack in the door, casting two long shadows.
Everyone's gaze turned in unison toward the entrance of the hall.
Cao Kun held Empress Yue Chan's hand and stepped over the threshold unhurriedly.
He wore a dark gold yin-yang dharma robe, his expression lazy.
He did not deliberately urge his spiritual power.
Relying solely on the terrifying Protective Aura and the aura of a superior emanating from his Physical Body.
He could cause ripples to stir in the air.
"Thump, thump, thump!"
The Three Elders of Tiancan, who had just been full of themselves, were caught off guard and knocked over by this Protective Aura.
The three retreated several steps before barely stabilizing themselves.
Their original aloof demeanor of experts was gone, leaving only eyes full of shock.
"How is this possible? Isn't this brat in the Void Refinement Stage?!"
This thought rose in all three of their minds simultaneously.
Cao Kun stopped and swept his gaze contemptuously over Bi Changkong and the three disheveled Guest Elders.
"I was wondering who was barking outside, disturbing my sleep so I couldn't even take a nap."
"So it was just a few fleas left behind by that old dog Bi Yuntao."
Empress Yue Chan followed half a step behind Cao Kun.
This formerly majestic and inviolable Empress of Great Yan.
At this moment, she had shed all her defenses and sharpness, obediently letting Cao Kun hold her hand.
Because she had just experienced a ten-day-long Dao discussion.
Her gait was still a bit unnatural.
There was even a lingering hint of passion and a flush on her Face and eyes.
How could this still be the decisive Empress of Great Yan?
This was completely the look of a little wife who listened to her husband in everything, immersed in the nourishment of love!
The Old Prime Minister rubbed his eyes, unable to believe the scene before him.
These ten days... what exactly had Her Majesty experienced?
When Bi Changkong saw Cao Kun appear, especially when he saw that the three Body Integration Stage experts he had hired with heavy gold couldn't even withstand the other party's aura, he instinctively felt a bit nervous.
But when he thought of the one hundred thousand Black Armored Imperial Guards outside, he straightened his back again.
"Cao Kun! Do not be arrogant!"
Bi Changkong pointed at Cao Kun, standing on the moral high ground and rebuking him angrily.
"You Devil Head! What evil art did you use to bewitch Her Majesty and throw the Great Yan court into chaos!"
"What crime do you deserve!"
Hearing this, Cao Kun laughed out loud, interrupting Bi Changkong's blathering.
"Bewitch?"
"Are you trying to compliment me on my performance?"
"You've made me so embarrassed that I don't even want to kill you!"
Hearing this, Empress Yue Chan's ears turned red, and she quietly pinched Cao Kun's palm, but couldn't bear to use any force.
She chided him silently in her heart.
This dead ghost, the whole court is watching, and he has no seriousness in his words.
He doesn't know how to save Face for me at all.
However... what he said seemed to be correct.
Bi Changkong was driven into a rage by Cao Kun's reaction, which completely ignored the standard script.
"Presumptuous! You are at death's door and still dare to talk big!"
"Three Seniors, please act immediately! Slay this evil creature on the spot to rectify the court!"
The three Loose Cultivator Guest Elders had just been pushed back by the Protective Aura and lost Face, and were now holding a belly full of fire.
Their Divine Sense swept over Cao Kun, and they detected that the spiritual power fluctuation emanating from his body was indeed only at the Peak of the Void Refinement Stage Middle Stage.
Although his Physical Body was strangely powerful, the gap in Realms was right there.
For the Body Integration Stage to kill the Void Refinement Stage is like slaughtering a chicken!
"Arrogant brat! Give me your life!"
The three cold-drank, relying on the Realm advantage of the Body Integration Stage, simultaneously summoned their own Lifebound Treasure.
A purple-gold long sword, a heaven-turning seal, and a crimson flame long whip.
The three top-grade Magic Treasures stirred up sky-filling killing intent and blasted toward Cao Kun from three directions.
"Die!"
Bi Changkong felt that facing the siege of three Body Integration Stage experts, even with Empress Yue Chan's help!
This guy surnamed Cao would definitely die today!
However, facing such a sharp attack.
Cao Kun only slightly raised his eyes, and the phantom image of double pupils flashed and vanished in his eyes.
"Stagnate."
Two words, lightly spat from his mouth.
Strange space Laws descended upon the hall.
The three menacing Body Integration Stage experts, along with the Magic Artifacts they had summoned.
Were directly pressed with the pause button, frozen in mid-air.
