nIn the Zhai Yue Nation’s royal palace, an uneasy atmosphere enveloped the entire room.

nEmperor Zhao Hongyao frowned as he flipped through the memorial in his hand. The more he read, the more frightened he became, and his hands couldn’t help but tremble.

nAfter a long time, he put down the memorial and looked at Feng Wu, the National General.

n“The ghosts in Peng City actually caused such a big commotion?”

nFeng Wu shook his head and sighed. “That’s right! I’ve already sent three thousand elites in succession, but none of them survived.”

n“They are all at the Mystic Realm. I would never have thought… Sigh!”

n“Three thousand Mystic Realm cultivators!” Zhao Hongyao’s eyes revealed a hint of horror.

nIn the entire Zhai Yue Nation, the number of Mystic Realm soldiers was only slightly more than twenty thousand.

nJust Peng City alone made their country lose so many elites in one night. It was really unimaginable!

nas

nIf this situation continued, wouldn’t the entire country be invaded by those ghosts?

nZhao Hongyao heaved a sigh of relief and said sternly,

n“Fortunately, I have already issued an order yesterday to recruit all the martial artists to help.” “Rewards allure men to brave danger. General Feng, ask your soldiers to stop heading to Peng City and wait for those martial artist powerhouses to discuss with me first!”

nFeng Wu hurriedly nodded. “Yes!”

nThe ghosts that came this time were too powerful and strange. They were definitely not something the soldiers of their country could deal with. Fortunately, the king had the foresight to issue the reward beforehand.

nPresumably, those martial artist powerhouses from all over would definitely be able to find a way to deal with ghosts.

nWith this in mind, a eunuch’s voice sounded from the door.

n“Your Majesty, the Sect Leaders of the Xuanqing Sect, the Vast Heaven Sect, and the Cloudmist Valley request to see you!”

nZhao Hongyao raised his hand. “Invite them in!”

nThen, the eunuch led a dozen martial artists into the hall.

nFeng Wu noticed that these people had powerful cultivation bases.

nAccording to his judgment, they were all powerhouses above the mid-stage Spirit Stage.

nAfter exchanging greetings, the group went straight to the point.

nZhao Hongyao said, “Sect Leaders, the appearance of the ghosts this time was too sudden and they’re very powerful.”

n“If you can help me resolve this, I can guarantee that every sect can casually pick a mountain in your country to establish a branch.”

n“I will also reward each of you with ten thousand gold taels and five thousand superior-grade Spirit Stones!”

nWhen the Xuanqing Sect’s Sect Master, Zhang Yupeng, and the others heard that, they revealed a hint of joy. “Okay!”

nZhao Hongyao’s reward was definitely generous. It was very tempting to Zhang Yupeng and the others.

nOther than that, they all had experience in killing ghosts.

nThey were confident in getting the reward this

ntime.

nJust as Zhao Hongyao was about to discuss the details of the operation with Zhang Yupeng and the others, the eunuch at the door shouted again.

n“Your Majesty, the Heavenly Master Sect’s Sect Master, You Yuanjun, requests to see you!”

nHeavenly Master Sect!

nHearing this, Zhang Yupeng and the others turned their heads in shock.

nAn old man in a green robe, a hat, and holding a white horsetail whisk in his hand slowly walked in.

n“Greetings!”

nZhang Yupeng and the others hurriedly bowed.

nYou Yuanjun’s Heavenly Master Sect had been established for more than 50,000 years.

nHe was famous in the martial arts world of North Mystic Heaven and was best at dealing with ghosts.

nAs for You Yuanjun, he was at the Supremacy Realm. He was extremely famous.

nSeeing that the person who came was You Yuanjun, Zhao Hongyao was overjoyed and hurriedly took the initiative to greet him.

nYou Yuanjun nodded at everyone arrogantly as a greeting Zhao Hongyao then said, “Since even Mr. You is here, I believe there won’t be any difficulty in carrying out this ghost vanquishing operation.”

nEveryone nodded in agreement.

nBecause You Yuanjun was an expert in dealing with ghosts, Zhao Hongyao didn’t say anything else.

nHe took off his royal robe and changed into a set of armor. Then, he brought General-in-Chief Feng Wu out of the throne room with You Yuanjun, Zhang Yupeng, and the others.

nTo Zhao Hongyao, the commotion in Peng City this time had a huge impact.

nAs the sovereign, he wanted to personally oversee the extermination of the ghosts. He wanted to use the opportunity to let the citizens see his deeds and his concern for the people.

nWhile following behind You Yuanjun and the others, he didn’t have to worry about any danger.

nAs for Zhang Yupeng and the others, although they had You Yuanjun, do they probably didn’t have the chance to attack, Zhao Hongyao wasn’t stingy with rewards. He invited them to come to help his country establish a better relationship with the martial arts world.

nThey had just walked out of the hall’s entrance when they looked up.

nThey saw a white-robed man and a beautiful girl in purple standing on the top of the Star-gazing Tower.

nBeside them, there were four cute little girls.

n“This man is really handsome!”

n“The woman beside him is also beautiful and has an extraordinary aura!”

nEveryone couldn’t help but exclaim.

nA moment later, Zhang Yupeng exclaimed, “That young master in white… is North Mystic Heaven’s Consort!”

nHiss –

nAt this moment, even the arrogant You Yuanjun revealed a shocked expression.

nZhao Hongyao hurriedly asked, “Sect Master Zhang, is this true?” “Of course!” Zhang Yupeng said seriously, “I saw his face in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range a few days ago, so how could I be mistaken?”

nJust as he finished speaking, Zhao Hongyao hurriedly rushed towards the palace’s door.

nThe arrival of the North Mystic Heaven’s Consort was a once in a thousand years celebratory event for Zhai Yue Nation.

nAs the sovereign, he had already neglected the Consort. If he didn’t remedy the situation in time, he would probably regret it for the rest of his life!

nZhang Yupeng, You Yuanjun, and the others hurriedly followed behind.

nHow could they miss the opportunity to show their faces in front of the Consort?

nBefore long, everyone hurried to Star-gazing Tower.

nBecause the Star-gazing Tower also had a royal background, the manager of Star-gazing Tower recognized the king, Zhao Hongyao, at a glance.

n“Your Majesty…”

nBefore he could finish speaking, Zhao Hongyao rushed past him without even looking at him.

nZhang Yupeng and the others behind him rushed into the restaurant one after another.

nThis scene stunned not only the manager of Star-gazing Tower, but also the customers present.

nEveryone quickly left the seats and squeezed to the staircase.

nThey wanted to see who could cause such a huge commotion.

nWhen Zhao Hongyao came behind Lin Xuan, he hurriedly tidied his clothes and hair and bowed respectfully.

n“Greetings, Consort!”

nZhang Yupeng and the others bowed respectfully.

nSwish!

nThis scene shocked the entire restaurant.

n“So, he’s North Mystic Heaven’s Consort. No wonder he’s so talented and has such an extraordinary aura!”

n“How lucky! I didn’t expect to encounter the Consort on my first visit to Star-gazing Tower!”

n“The empress’ husband just left behind a poet. This matter will definitely be remembered throughout the ages and become a legend!”

n“Star-gazing Tower… No, the Zhai Yue Nation will have glory this time!”
