“Is this a prank?” Liu Feng frowned.

But a few swishes later, the crown prince and his faction also appeared next to them. This wouldn’t be something they orchestrated, because they were in sight for now.

“What is going on? What is the trouble that the imperial palace encountered?” Tian Jiang’s domineering voice thundered through the palace grounds.

All of the guards cowered, but they didn’t raise their weapons. They knew who the person speaking was. It was the sect master of the Tiandu sect. Who didn’t know the sect master of the strongest power in the entire kingdom, bar the imperial palace?

And the Tiandu sect was an indispensable ally of the imperial palace, with the sect master coming to the palace so often that they memorized his voice by now.

“Answer me! What has happened for you to disturb the succession war? This has never been done before! How dare you break this tradition?” The sect master raged.

Until now, he had a chance. The crown prince had a slim to none chance that they would win this war. Maybe Liu Man and Liu Feng could miraculously be defeated, and they would defeat the unbreakable formation that the Cai Family created.

But now, even that was out of the picture. The crown prince raised the white flag. He had given up. The king was Liu Feng now. There was nothing stopping that.

Liu Feng nodded and looked at what the guards were about to say. He was interested in knowing what their answer was going to be.

“The prison… sect master. The prison! Someone had broken in!” The guard said, shivering.

Liu Feng froze. He knew exactly what happened then. And he knew that he had to get to the throne as fast as possible to become the king and be anointed with that power.

Because the moment that they found out who it was, every sword here would be pointed toward him, and he could kiss the crown and his life goodbye.

“What are we waiting for? I should take the throne and become the king so that I can fend off the attackers!” Liu Feng said.

“There are far too many procedures to do now that you are not of the Tian bloodline. We should give it to the crown prince instead. It will be much easier.” Tian Jiang protested again.

But Liu Feng wasn’t having it.

“I AM of the Tian blood line as much as your crown prince is. So why don’t you drop the act. You lost. None of you can beat us. And I still havent revealed my true strength, and I am sure that neither has Liu Man. If you want to fight, then fine. I will come and fight with you. And whoever is inside will get what he or she wants. I guess this is all the the crown prince’s word counts for.” Liu Feng scoffed as a spear appeared in his hand.

“Enough! I am a man of my word. Brother Feng should become the king. The threat is real, and the battle had been lost already. We were just prolonging it.” The crown prince shouted.

“And this is not the only problem that we will have at this time. There are many more enemies that will try to get the throne. We must let him refine the throne.” he said.

“Listen to the crown prince, Tian Jiang. We do not have time. Let us go in and take the throne room and make sure it is safe first.” Cai Guo said as he moved first.

The guards did not move to block any of them. First, even if they wanted to, they couldn’t. And more importantly, these were the people that would take care of the situation inside. Not them.

Cai Guo led the way and rushed toward the palace in godspeed.

Liu Feng quickly followed, keeping with Cai Guo with ease.

They passed through the palace walls when Liu Feng realized that they were going to another section of the palace itself. After all, the first section was dedicated to the king and his chambers.

When they got to the section with the throne room, which had not a single person in, Cai Guo slammed the wall next to him.

The wall did not crumble though. Runes appeared on the wall, absorbing the impact.

“How dare they just leave the throne like this for everybody to take. They have no sense of priorities.” Cai Guo cursed as he waved his hands.

The giant doors to the throne room opened, and Jake was able to see what was inside with clarity.

The throne room was golden. Golden thrones, smaller than the one in the center, were lined up in two rows facing each other, and a nice red carpet in the middle for the people to take their seats.

But who would even care about these golden thrones, when the true attraction was in the center of the hall, for everyone to see.

Liu Feng’s eyes were fixed on the treasure that was called the most precious in the entire kingdom, or even the entire Realm of beginnings.

And he understood why. Because there was not a single guard in here, but there were statues of guards here. And these were definitely the Terracotta Army. Without a doubt, this was the power that the throne controlled.

Liu Feng disappeared, and a moment later, he appeared in front of the throne, studying it from up close.

This throne was different from every other one.

While the others would be considered mortal, with gold shining and precious jewels ordaining the armrests, this was different.

It felt like it was made with simple clay. But any cultivator who looked at it would be drawn to the aura that it possessed, and that was what made it the center of attraction.

He stroked the throne, and he felt a chill the moment he touched it.

Ping!

Throne of Terracotta detected. Refine?
