733: Runaway

Looking at the appearance of this Divine Beast, it seems to be a tiger!

Moreover, it has a pair of mini wings on its back.

Although it's only in its infancy, it already displays an aura only a Divine Beast possesses!

The energy within a thousand-year spiritual plant is considerable.

An ordinary Cultivator at the Qi Refining Completion Realm would risk exploding and dying if they rashly consumed it.

But this guy can already consume a thousand-year spiritual plant right after being born, which implicitly shows how powerful it is!

Lin Yun let out a sigh of turbid air after looking at the thousand-year spiritual plant by the bed, which now only had branches and leaves left.

He didn't know how big the appetite of this Divine Beast was.

For some reason, he felt a slight pressure.

The next day.

The sky was dark and overcast.

Between heaven and earth, it was as if the Heavenly Dao's fate was shifting. Under the accumulation of inexplicable power, the sky above the Dan Domain was covered in continuous dark clouds stretching for a thousand miles, subtly showing signs of heavy rain!

And today.

Before dawn, many Disciples within the Dan Sect were already looking forward with bated breath.

Many people hadn't slept that night.

Everyone was just waiting for the envoy from the Imperial Palace of the Phoenix Feather Dynasty to arrive at the Dan Sect with the Empress's imperial decree to announce to the world who the chosen candidate for the monarch would be!

Even quite a few Elders hadn't slept all night.

After all, this matter was of great importance!

Many Elders were hoping that their "Tu" would reach that position.

As long as they were recognized by the Empress, it would be a great joyous occasion where even the chickens and dogs would ascend to heaven!

Among them, Dan Daozi and the Elders who were close to him were naturally the most concerned.

Sect Leader Wuwei Dan of the Dan Sect also hadn't slept all night.

For powerful individuals of their level, not sleeping for a night basically had no effect.

Finally.

Under the anticipation of the entire Dan Sect and countless Demon Path and various forces secretly watching, a crimson-gold Phoenix with outstretched wings soaring out appeared on the horizon!

Standing on the back of this Phoenix were none other than the solemn-faced Cao Gonggong and a retinue of Royal Family powerhouses.

Seeing this scene, within the Dan Sect, Wuwei Dan and the Elders all arrived in the void, bowing respectfully towards the distance.

Not long after.

When Cao Gonggong and the Royal Family powerhouses arrived, the secretly suppressed excitement within the Dan Sect had reached its peak, ready to erupt.

After Lin Yun walked out of his residence on Small Flower Mountain with a yawn, he also saw the dazzling golden Phoenix.

“This is for the marriage proposal...” Upon seeing this scene, Lin Yun's heart subconsciously shrank.

This marriage proposal team left a considerable trauma on him.

But now it was good.

He was just accompanying Dan Daozi, and didn't have to get on that marriage proposal team anymore.

Under the gaze of everyone in the Dan Sect, Cao Gonggong in the sky slowly announced, “Late last night, Your Majesty confirmed the candidate for monarch in front of all the civil and military officials!”

His sharp voice spread out, and the words within made many people even more nervous and expectant.

Especially Dan Daozi, who was just waiting for these people from the Imperial Palace to call out his name!

He had spent so much effort, almost his entire fortune, to make that sandalwood incense. As long as the Empress smelled it, she would be so intoxicated she couldn't extricate herself!

Among all the eligible Disciples in the entire Dan Sect, he was the one at the forefront!

“The candidate for monarch is...”

Cao Gonggong paused when he said this, his gaze sweeping over the Disciples of the Dan Sect below.

At this moment, countless people in the Dan Sect were holding their breath, their faces covered in sweat from nervousness.

“Dan Sect Core Disciple, Lin Yun!” Cao Gonggong finally read out the name.

After his words fell, the scene was slightly quiet.

“Huh? It's not Dan Daozi?”

“Lin Yun? It's actually Lin Yun?!”

After a brief silence, a huge wave was stirred up!

Countless Disciples' gazes all looked towards the direction of Small Flower Mountain, with emotions of envy, jealousy, and anger piling up.

As for Dan Daozi.

After hearing this name, his entire body was stunned for a moment: “How is that possible?! Lin Yun? How could it be Lin Yun?!”

On Small Grass Mountain.

Ninth Elder sighed as she held Jiang Yurou, whose eyes were dim, in her arms.

She already knew everything last night.

Regarding this, Ninth Elder had no way either.

The Man that the Empress wanted, even if she, the Master, stepped forward, it would be useless.

“Crying will make you feel better, don't hold it in.” Ninth Elder stroked her "Tu"'s head and said gently.

Jiang Yurou showed a pale smile of self-abasement: “No, the Empress said that only useless people cry.”

“Silly Child, if you don't cry, I, your Master, am about to cry.” Ninth Elder seemed to recall past events, and a pang of sadness rose in her heart.

At the same time.

Small Flower Mountain.

Lin Yun was also paying attention to the announcement by the people from the Imperial Palace of the Phoenix Feather Dynasty in the sky.

After Cao Gonggong directly said his name, Lin Yun, who was originally indifferent, stiffened all over, feeling as if he was hallucinating.

“Lin Yun? Me? What a joke?!” Lin Yun's tone rose, filled with disbelief.

Almost instantly, he could see the emotional gazes around him all converging on him!

“Lin Yun!” Sect Leader Wuwei Dan was the first to react and rush over.

His loud call was mixed with a burst of hearty laughter.

“Hahaha, I knew it! I knew it all along!” Wuwei Dan's eyes were filled with eagerness.

“Lin Yun... Oh no! Now I should call you Monarch!” Wuwei Dan lowered his posture, his face full of flattery: “Lord Monarch, please don't take those previous punishments to heart.”

“I heard that someone from the Demon Path attacked you in the Fenggang Mountain Range before, causing you to get injured?”

“Oh dear, I was really wrong, I didn't get a chance to visit you!” Wuwei Dan's surface was full of compliments, but he was suffering inwardly.

Your Majesty the Empress, my Your Majesty the Empress.

Out of all the Disciples in the Dan Sect you could have chosen, why did you have to choose a Disciple I almost offended to death?!

Looking at Wuwei Dan's posture, Lin Yun frowned tightly.

It wasn't dissatisfaction with the other party.

It was that he still couldn't understand Kongtong Frost Snow's decision at this moment.

In this life, he had deliberately avoided it so much, yet in the end, how did the development of events still remain completely unchanged from before?!

“Prince Monarch, please ascend to the Golden Phoenix! This servant and the hundred guards of the dynasty will escort Prince Monarch all the way to Phoenix Feather Imperial City.”

The Golden Phoenix, carrying Cao Gonggong and a hundred guards with extremely powerful auras, arrived above Small Flower Mountain.

And Cao Gonggong's clear voice was also informing Lin Yun of his itinerary.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yun's body trembled slightly, and he subconsciously took half a step back.

His fists also clenched without him realizing it.

It was like this in the previous life, it was like this in the previous life, he was taken to the dynasty and locked in the Golden Dragon Palace!

Taking a deep breath, Lin Yun had too many questions.

However, those questions were far less important than what he was thinking at this moment.

What he was thinking at this moment... was to escape!

To escape the marriage!
