Chapter 903 - 903 Lord of Disasters
903 Lord of Disasters
Tong Huang and the others hurriedly followed behind.
“What a huge Royal Palace!”
Upon entering, the first impression that came to Tong Huang was that the palace was too big. It was much bigger than it looked from the outside, and everything was magnified by several times.
Whether it was because of its height or because the palace was just like that, even the ground had flowing clouds, and strange flowers and grasses were everywhere as if they were in a fairyland.
“This place is completely different from the past. Any random palace here is equivalent to more than half of the previous Castellan’s mansion.” As an imperial concubine, Zhou Yutong naturally knew this place like the back of her hand.
However, at this moment, the Royal Palace still seemed a little empty and desolate. Many places were still a wasteland. After all, they had just completed their transformation. Many flowers and trees had not been planted yet. When they grew out, they would need someone to trim and take care of them.
Tong Huang and the others were also secretly observing, watching the eunuchs and palace maids shuttling back and forth. They were either planting flowers or arranging the decorations.
The guards of the palace were both Angels and Demons. However, common chores such as sweeping could not be done by them. They were all handled by the recruited eunuchs and palace maids.
These eunuchs and palace maids were treated very well. The cultivation resources they received were much higher than the common people outside, so they were not weak. In fact, many of them were quite talented and had already reached the mythical realm. They were a hidden force that could not be ignored in the Royal Palace.
Unknowingly, everyone had arrived at the Imperial Flower Garden.
The Imperial Flower Garden was very large, with many different regions planned out, each planted with various strange flowers and grasses. The number of rockeries and ponds along is numerous.
In one of the huge ponds, there were winding corridors, common pavilions, and waterside pavilions. At first glance, the winding paths led to seclusion, but at a closer look, there were divided five elements and eight trigrams. The mysteries were derived and the spiritual energy was dense.
Li Xiang and Yang Mi were standing side by side in an exquisite and spacious pavilion. They each held some fish food in their hands and scattered it on the surface of the lake. Golden carps kept emerging from the water, fighting for food.
These fish were spirit fish, and the fish food was not common. It was specially made from the spirit items that all fish liked.
The two of them chatted casually, and from time to time, their faces would reveal a happy smile. The atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
“Sister Mi!”
Zhou Yutong brought her men and walked over quickly. She first greeted Yang Mi, then said to Li Xiang, “Your Majesty, the person has been brought here.”
Li Xiang nodded and said, “Thanks for your hard work, Yutong. Come and sit with us!”
Zhou Yutong laughed lightly and sat down beside the host’s seat. She picked up a cup of spiritual tea and took a sip.
Yang Mi rolled her eyes at Zhou Yutong and said, “Do you really believe what His Majesty says? Let’s go! He wants to talk about something, so it’s inconvenient for us to stay here. We sisters can take a walk in the garden together and leave alone these mundane things!”
When Zhou Yutong heard this, she rolled her eyes at Li Xiang. Although she did not say anything, the anger in her eyes was clear.
Li Xiang rubbed his nose awkwardly and coughed lightly. “Well, it’s good that you go for a walk. I’ll look for you later!”
Yang Mi brought Zhou Yutong along and asked someone to call Ning Xiaoyue, Chen Shu and Tong Qingya to join them. They crossed the pond and disappeared into the depths of the flowers.
When Tong Huang and the Twelve Fiends of the Mountain Pond arrived outside the pavilion, They respectfully stood outside, not daring to speak or even raise their heads.
After Yang Mi and the others left, they stepped forward and bowed, saying, “Tong Huang and the Twelve Fiends of the Mountain Pond pay their respects to the Your Majesty.”
The childish voice carried a hint of innocence, which naturally made people feel good.
Even though Li Xiang was experienced, he still felt a ripple in his heart, but he quickly calmed down.
Li Xiang’s tone was calm, and he even waved his hand casually, “Rise!”
“Tong Huang, do you know why I suddenly came to find you?” Li Xiang asked directly.
“I don’t know!”
Tong Huang shook her head and replied.
“You Twelve Fiends of the Mountain Pond were assassins before the fusion of the myriad worlds, am I right?”
“That’s right! We used to be the infamous assassins of the Mountain Pond. Once the Twelve Fiends of the Mountain Pond took action, there was no assassination mission that we couldn’t complete. If His Majesty is concerned that we were assassins, we can leave the Dawn Dynasty,” Tong Huang replied.
Her heart tightened, but she was not too surprised.
They had never deliberately concealed their identity as assassins. As the Lord of Dawn, it was normal for Li Xiang to know about this.
“That’s not the case! Dawn Dynasty could accommodate anyone, whether they were civilians or nobles. As long as you abide by the laws of the Dawn, it doesn’t matter what your identity is.” Li Xiang shook his head.
“ThenI wonder why Your Majesty is looking for us …” A puzzled expression appeared on Tong Huang’s face.
“I have Yamen responsible for public security in Dawn, but that’s not enough. I plan to establish a more professional underground force. There are certain things that others cannot do in the shadows, only assassins like you are best suited for such positions,” Li Xiang replied calmly.
“An underground force? And we’ll be in charge?” Tong Huang’s heart was shaken.
This was not a common position. The underground force was the absolute confidant of the higher-ups in any force.
At the same time, the power of the underground force was also absolutely shocking. They were basically one rank higher than the alleged equivalent ordinary officials, and they were like a blade in the hands of a superior.
“That’s right. The underground force I plan to establish is called ‘Disasters,’ which means that once we strike, it will be like a calamity that cannot be avoided by the enemy,” Li Xiang said solemnly.
Li Xiang said word by word with a solemn expression.
Disasters was the underground force he wanted to establish. A sword hanging over the heads of all enemies.
“If we join Disasters of Heaven, what position or rank will Your Majesty give us?”
Tong Huang’s heart trembled as she couldn’t help asking.
“If I want to make you the leader of Disasters, what would you do?”
Li Xiang smiled and asked.
“The loyalty of the Tong Huang will belong to His Majesty!”
Tong Huang blinked her eyes and revealed an innocent expression as she spoke without hesitation.
Loyalty, loyalty, this was all she could offer.
Such a position, such an important position, could not be handed over to any stranger. However, Tong Huang really wanted to become the leader of Disasters.
When Li Xiang said that he wanted to establish Disasters, she had a strong desire for this position.
As long as there was a chance, she would naturally cling to the Dawn Dynasty tightly. Why not offer her loyalty to it?
…
“Loyalty is easy to say, but how do you expect me to believe you?” Li Xiang expressed his thoughts, “If Disasters is established, the Heaven and Earth Rank of the Lord of Disaster will be of the First Grade, and will enjoy an 18-fold increase in luck. How can it be easily granted?”
He needed a Disasters that was under his control, not a possible out-of-control one.
