Chapter 1606 - The Imperial Court

After approximately two hours, Tang Huan and the group of nine spirits finally stopped in their tracks.

At this time, what appeared before them was a vast courtyard known as the ”Emperor’s Courtyard”. This place was the residence of the princes and their followers.

The following ”Royal Spirit Ceremony” was also held here.

At the entrance of the Royal Academy, there were four guards, all of them at the 16th step. At the entrance, silhouettes would enter and exit from time to time, and all those that entered the Imperial Courtyard had to produce a command token.

”Hu!”

With a thought from Nine Spirits, a tiny black jade tablet appeared in his hand. On the jade tablet, blood-red patterns seemed to be faintly discernible.

Immediately, Jiu Ling threw the jade token to one of the Undead Soul Guards.

After the Undead Spirit Guard received it, a blood-red ball of light immediately rose into the air, condensing into the words’ ninety-six ’ten meters in the air.

”Greetings, Prince 96!”

The guards immediately bowed, and the jade token was respectfully returned to the Nine Spirits. In the air, the blood-red symbol vanished like smoke in thin air.

Jiu Ling nodded slightly, saying in a clear voice, ”They are all my servants.”

”Yes.”

One of the Undead Spirit Guards nodded, extended his hand out, and ten black jade plates appeared in his hand. They were about one finger long and three fingers wide, and were different from Nine Spirit’s jade plates, inside these jade plates there was a blood colored ring, ”Bring this, the Your Highness’s servants can freely enter the Royal Courtyard.”

Jiu Ling lightly nodded, and received the ten jade tokens.

”Keep it safe!”

The nine spirits threw them behind her, and continued to advance, just as she finished speaking, the jade tablets appeared in front of Tang Huan and the nine other fifteen-ranked undead.

After passing through the gate, a wide road that spanned hundreds of meters extended forward.

On both sides of this main street, there were many huge pavilions of various shapes and sizes spread out. Each building had a number engraved on the side of the entrance.

The halls corresponding to their rankings were the residences of the princes.

At that moment, many of the halls had princes staying at, inside palace, the figures of dead spirits were faintly discernible.

Tang Huan had only sensed it slightly, but he was secretly shocked in his heart. If his judgement was not wrong, in the surrounding palaces, the strength of a small portion of the dead spirits were already extremely shocking. Some should have already reached the twenty-first step, or even surpassed it.

The 21st grade undead, on the human side, was already equivalent to a 10th grade Heaven stage cultivator like Du Yue.

A death spirit that surpassed the twenty-first step was like a heavenly warrior above the celestial level. A dead spirit at this level of strength was obviously not a servant, it could only be a prince.

When it was the ”Royal Spirit Ceremony”, there would be as many as a hundred princes staying at the ”Emperor Ethereal Palace”. Although Jiu Ling’s strength was also very good and she had already lived for countless of years, her days of tribulation on the ”Royal Spirit Ceremony” was not long at all.

Tang Huan took note of the hall numbers of the Undead Rankers were in, and as expected, it was very close to the front.

That undead spirit whose cultivation might have surpassed the twenty-first step actually resided in the fifth hall. This meant that he was ranked fifth among the hundred princes.

Fortunately, there was no need to set any high goals for the nine spirits to participate in the ”Royal Spirit Ceremony”. As long as they could enter the top ninety, they were guaranteed to not be eliminated.

While they were feeling emotional, Tang Huan and the group of nine spirits had already found hall number ninety-six.

”Tsk tsk, isn’t this the Nine Spirit Your Highness? They came to Dongming City so late? ”I’ve been waiting for you in this Emperor’s Courtyard for a long time.”

Right at this moment, a sinister voice sounded out. In front of the hall to the side, a figure suddenly appeared. It was the Yin Candle that had been humiliated by Nine Spirits half a year ago.

”Oh? That would really be hard for you! ”

When Jiu Ling heard that, she curled her lips before patting herself on the head, feeling a little puzzled. ”Oh right, your father seems to remember you calling yourself a pervert?” An obscene snake? ”

”I am Yin Zhu!”

The candle face couldn’t help but twitch, and a black aura flashed between his brows.

Of course, he could tell that Jiu Ling had purposefully used the word ”lustful snake” to address him, but he still couldn’t help but correct her. However, his tone became more and more gloomy.

”Yes, Shadow Candle!”

Jiu Ling nodded in understanding.

”Last time, you went to my ’Consonance Palace’ without my permission, and caused me to rebuild it. I spent a lot of time and energy, and now that I’ve met you, I’ll talk about it properly. How do you plan to compensate me?”

”Compensation?”

When Yin Zhu heard this, he was stunned. Before this, he had expected many possibilities, but he didn’t expect Nine Spirits to say something like this.

”Yeah, the reconstruction of my ’Consonance Palace’ was entirely your doing, shouldn’t you compensate me?”

Jiu Ling righteously stared at the candle, his expression extremely unfriendly. ”What, you’re not going to go back on your word, are you? ”You perverted snake, your father’s debt is not so good!”

”You …”

Yin Zhu was angered to the point that his face turned ashen. He gritted his teeth as his venomous eyes stared straight at Jiu Ling, which caused chills to run down one’s spine. ”Jiu Ling, do you want compensation? ”This is simply …”

”What is it?”

However, before the candle could finish its sentence, an unusually rough voice sounded out, ”Nine Spirits, did I hear wrongly? Does this little snake want to renege on the debt?”

The last rune of the rune was still thousands of meters away when the voice rang out. It was like thunder rumbling in his ears as if it could pierce his eardrums. Immediately after, an extremely muscular figure appeared.

It was a ten meter tall man, completely naked except for a black beast skin wrapped around his waist.

The brawny man’s eyes were like lanterns, suffused with a faint blood-red light. On his bald head were two ox horns, his skin was a bronze color, and the muscles on his body bulged and bulged as if they contained explosive power that could erupt like a volcano at any time.

On this brawny man’s shoulder, there was a thick and long rod.

The staff was as thick as a sea bowl and about twenty to thirty meters long. Its body was as black as ink and strands of black Qi lingered and flowed around the rod. Although he did not use it, a terrifying aura faintly seeped out from the rod, causing one’s heart to palpitate.

”Kui Cow!”

When she saw the brawny man’s face, the dark candle’s expression couldn’t help but change, but Nine Spirits laughed rather excitedly, ”You just arrived at the Emperor’s Estate? I thought you wouldn’t be here until the last day. It seems that your death has increased quite a bit. ”
