Chapter 908: Chapter 473 Imperial Court Matters Settled (6k4)_2
“Everyone.”
The Chief Officer of the Demon-Slaying Bureau, Shangguan Nan, seeing the increasingly oppressive atmosphere in the front hall and the escalating hostility among several Blood Exchange masters that might lead to a major conflict at any mont, finally spoke in a deep voice.
As the Chief Officer of the Demon-Slaying Bureau, Shangguan Nan’s na was quite renowned; although not a Celestial Master, he was acknowledged as one of the strongest in the Blood Exchange Realm, nearly the top figure beneath the Celestial Human level.
When he spoke, many in the crowd turned their attention toward him.
“We are gathered here today at the invitation of that esteed individual to discuss the affairs of Jingji Road’s Eleven States. I hope you can temporarily set aside old grievances until that individual arrives to collectively deliberate on the future of Jingji Road.”
“Otherwise, should any fighting ensue here and anger that individual, it might be difficult to resolve the situation.”
Shangguan Nan spoke in a deep voice.
As the honorable Chief Officer of the Demon-Slaying Bureau, he naturally feared none of the Blood Exchange Supres present nor the martial guests from the sect forces. But the problem was that his na alone couldn’t possibly stabilize such a large crowd, forcing him to ntion Chen Mu.
Although he only referred to ‘that individual’ in his speech, everyone present was well aware of whom Shangguan Nan was referencing. Those who held mutual grudges cast cold glances at each other before temporarily falling silent.
So slowly took their seats, indifferently sipping tea.
To those present, while they might be apprehensive of Shangguan Nan, they weren’t truly fearful. Chen Mu, however, was a different matter. Chen Mu had swept across the Capital City with unrivaled strength. If provoked, Chen Mu could eradicate entire sects in the blink of an eye. Despite being dominant Great Sects, no one believed themselves capable of rivaling the entire Imperial Court.
Having been invited by Chen Mu, they were indeed compelled by his intimidation. Despite fearing Chen Mu to so extent, they couldn’t refuse. After all, this assembly was to determine the future governance of the Central Prefecture and Jingji Road’s Eleven States. Refusal would an being excluded, a minor issue compared to incurring Chen Mu’s displeasure, which would be a major problem!
Thus, upon receiving the invitation, nearly all the supre figures from the Great Sects arrived promptly.
Even though they harbored mutual conflicts, so to the extent of irreconcilable differences, quarrelling here would be most unwise. No one wished to beco overly conspicuous at this mont.
The front hall quickly fell into a state of silence.
As ti passed, other individuals entered the front hall one after another, causing slight disruptions, but none escalated into disputes. Everyone temporarily set aside prior grievances, at most resting with closed eyes, avoiding unnecessary annoyance.
Gathered in the front hall were all Blood Exchange Realm individuals, needing neither food nor drink, yet the Imperial Court attendants occasionally ca by to serve tea and pastries, ensuring proper etiquette without negligence.
At that mont, almost no one could be heard speaking in the front hall. Any attempted interaction was conducted through sound transmission, making the assembly of dozens in the front hall a scene of tranquility until several hours later when a voice ca from outside the hall.
“Lord Chen has arrived!”
This was announced by an Imperial Supervisor.
Truthfully, the announcent wasn’t necessary; the nurous Blood Exchange masters, supre figures of the sects, and even Shangguan Nan and other high officials of the Imperial Court all turned their gaze outward, watching the figure stride calmly from outside into the hall.
Chen Mu did not intentionally conceal his aura, arriving in plain attire with a serene deanor, stepping into the hall where virtually everyone present cast their gaze upon him, unconsciously showing signs of solemnity and reverence.
Chen Mu’s unparalleled prowess had swept through the Capital City. Many present were fully aware of his formidable strength, knowing that the title of Martial Saint was absolutely deserved.
The front hall.
Absolute silence.
As Chen Mu entered the hall, nearly all seated supre figures from the various sects and even high ministers from the Imperial Court rose to their feet, none daring to sit pompously before Chen Mu.
Amidst the attention of nurous martial world figures and Imperial Court ministers, Chen Mu didn’t exhibit any oppressive deanor, simply walking in with ease and without going directly to the main seat, he glanced over the crowd before slightly cupping his hands.
“I am Chen Mu, greetings to everyone.”
“Greetings to Saint Chen.”
“Greetings to Lord Chen.”
All the sect supre figures present promptly returned the greeting with courtesy shown to Chen Mu. The Imperial Court officials, including Shangguan Nan and Zhao Lie, extended similar gestures, though their formal titles for Chen Mu were mildly different and more official.
Chen Mu glanced at the officials like Shangguan Nan and Zhao Lie, speaking calmly: “I am but a humble martial man of the mundane world, hardly warranting such lofty titles. Inviting everyone here today is to establish so protocols for the future of Jingji Road.”
“No offense ant.”
Zhao Lie and others responded to Chen Mu.
Watching Chen Mu calmly walk toward the main seat and sit down, Zhao Lie and many court officials felt a bit emotional. Just a few years back, they had attempted to invite Chen Mu to the Capital City to enlist his support, hoping to distance him from the Eight Princes’ disputes and prevent future chaos.
In a re few years, however, Chen Mu mastered the Blood Exchange Realm, achieving personally unrivaled martial might without even needing to build influence, single-handedly suppressing the whole Royal Family. Reflecting on this still seed sowhat incredible.
