Chapter 286 Southern Continent New Ruler

Vermilion Capital Palace - Throne Room

The next morning, so many people had already gathered in the throne room, as this was the day that Zhu Yuhe officially became the new Sovereign of the Southern Continent.

They were families from the four kingdoms, plus families from Vermilion Capital City. In addition, Shan Lui who previously forbade families in his kingdom to attend Zhu Yuhe's banquet was also present. But the families of Huo Kingdom looked gloomy, because when they were on their way to Vermilion Capital City, they received news that Huo Jia died in his sleep.

And right now, there was a bit of chaos within the Huo Kingdom's royal family, but Huo Jin still came out on top to succeed his father as the next king.

Representatives from other continents were also present with their families, there were also people from the five sects. Even the leader of the Alchemist Guild was present along with their elders, while the Blacksmith Guild was only represented by their elders.

'You have to be careful with that old man, Tian. He was Yan Jin, the head of the Alchemist Guild. If he finds out you have the Shennong Furnace, then he will definitely hunt you down to seize it.' Liu Ying whispered softly to remind her son, because she often heard a lot of bad news about Yan Jin.

Xia Tian simply nodded at her, but he didn't think much of it, because he would never use Shennong Furnace in public.

Xia Tian was quite surprised that Qin Qing was also present to represent the Star Moon Sect, whereas the Jade Pearl Sect was represented by Fan Youling who had come along with Fan Quexian, as Ye Qingyue did not wish to appear in public.

The Vermilion Imperial Sect group was led by a man wearing a dark red robe with a Vermillion bird pattern, and beside him was a little girl, she was none other than Meng Yao.

'That man is Ding Yuan, and he is the Sect Master of the Vermilion Imperial Sect.' Liu Ying naturally knew Ding Yuan, as he had joined the sect as a disciple of Meng Yao in the past. Xia Tian only glanced at him, then he glanced at the other two sects.

Liu Ying then explained to him as well. 'Those waist-length silver-haired women are Mei Yun, the Sect Master of the Twin Star Sword Sect. And next to her is her twin sister, Mei Yin.'

Xia Tian raised his eyebrows seeing them, since they were identical twins, he could barely even tell them apart.

They had serene but alluring diamond-shaped faces, two slanted black eyes with sword-like eyebrows, beautiful sharp and slender nose, and thick sensual red lips. Although they are not very tall, but they look elegant and charming in a long tight blue silver dress, especially with their sizeable assets.

But one thing attracted Xia Tian to them. 'The sword energy in their bodies is very strong, it seems that they are really deep in the path of the Dao of the Sword.'

Twin Star Sword Sect Side

'Hmm?' Mei Yun turned to Xia Tian who was observing her, she also looked at Xia Tian with full of curiosity. 'Why can't I sense his cultivation? But his body emits a very strong sword energy, even my sword energy is inferior compared to his.'

"Why do you keep staring at that young man, Sis?" Mei Yin asked her twin sister, because Mei Yun looked so serious about Xia Tian.

'',

"Try to feel the strangeness in that young man, I can't even sense his cultivation." Mei Yun softly replied.

Mei Yin then checked it herself, and naturally she couldn't see Xia Tian's cultivation either. "How is that possible!?"

"I also don't know what method he used to conceal his cultivation from us, but the sword energy in his body is unbelievably strong." Mei Yun replied while shaking her head, and after that she stopped observing Xia Tian while pondering in her heart. 'The cultivation world is indeed full of hidden dragons, it seems that young man is one of them.'

Xia Tian Side

'Looks like they're curious about you, Tian.' Liu Ying whispered with a chuckle

Xia Tian shook his head. 'They are curious about me because they can sense my sword energy, Ying'er. Because the two of them were just like me back then, and they chose the path of the dao of the sword.'

'As for the last one, they are the Medicine Valley Sect, and you must already know about their sect from their name. Some of them are also famous physicians, and their leader is that old man, Dugu Zhong.'

Xia Tian sighed softly after hearing Liu Ying's words, and said. 'Unfortunately, he is not only a physician, but his hands are also covered in blood.'

Liu Ying was dumbfounded by Xia Tian's words, because as far as she knew Dugu Zhong was a reliable physician who was always down to earth. 'He was one of the people who checked your spiritual roots in the past, Tian. But he cannot restore your spiritual roots.'

As they were whispering, someone approached them, as he called out to Liu Ying.

"How are you, Ying'er?" Luo Chengsu greeted him with a smile, and he ignored Xia Tian who was glaring at him.

"Why are you approaching me? I don't want to see you, so stay away from me!" Liu Ying coldly said, because she already knew that Luo Chengsu was one of the killers of her husband.

The smile on Luo Chengsu's face instantly disappeared upon hearing Liu Ying's cold reply, and before he could reply, Xia Tian had already cursed at him. "Are you deaf? My mother told you to get out of our sight."

"You-"

"Chengsu, hurry back here!" An old man shouted for Luo Chengsu to return, that person was Luo Chengsu's father, and also the patriarch of the Luo family, Luo Tianhe.

Hearing his father's shout, Luo Chengsu only glanced at Xia Tian, ??and then turned to walk towards his father. But at that very moment he heard Xia Tian's next words which made his heart tighten. "You are the killer of my father along with Liu Rouyan, and you have also repeatedly sent assassins to kill me, so we will definitely make calculations with you after this event is over."

'Fuck! It must be Rouyan and those assassins who leaked everything to them!' Luo Chengsu inwardly cursed.

After Luo Chengsu disappeared from their sight, Liu Ying asked her son. "Are you sure you want to do it today, Tian?"

'This chapter is updated by N(o)V(e)lB(i)n.',

"I've put it off for too long, it's time for us to take revenge for father and uncle." Xia Tian replied coldly and firmly.

Soon, Zhu Yuhe entered the throne room accompanied by Zhou Xuan and Zhu Honglian. After they arrived, one of the elders that she trusted began her coronation ceremony.

The coronation ceremony didn't last long, although there were some people who were still displeased with Zhu Yuhe as the new Ruler of the Southern Continent, but they couldn't do anything about it for now. Because the majority present at the venue strongly supported it, and only a minority still insisted on rejecting it. And the one who opposes the most is Shan Liu, but he also doesn't dare to make any strange moves, even the demons of the northern continent have failed to do their job.

After the coronation ceremony was over, Zhu Yuhe immediately conveyed all her pre-planned plans to them. After Zhu Yuhe said that she would also pass on the same farming methods to other regions, it made her supporters grow even more, because all this time Hong Chen had never even thought about other regions.

"But for those methods, I won't give them to the Shan Kingdom. If families from that kingdom want to know my reasons, it would be best if you ask King Shan about what he did at my banquet." Zhu Yuhe conveyed her decision to them firmly, and it made people feel amazed by her attitude.

Shan Lui was taken aback by Zhu Yuhe's decision, he couldn't help but frown, but he didn't dare to comment. The families of the Shan Kingdom looked at him questioningly, but he chose to remain silent.

Zhu Yuhe didn't say any further, and she left everything to Xia Tian, ??as he had already planned their next move to suppress Shan Lui without causing any major upheaval.

Zhu Yuhe then announced the people who would occupy the old posts left by Hong Chen's trusted officials. She only left a few people from the Hong Chen era, because they were people who were always neutral, and they also had good reputations, so she didn't get rid of them. In addition, she also announced the death penalty for Hong Chen's family, and his loyal followers.

All of those present at the venue were shocked by Zhu Yuhe's decision, and they really didn't expect that she would sentence those people to death. After everything was done, Zhu Yuhe then announced cooperation with the western continent, while Dongfang Lie could not decide anything for the eastern continent.

One of the reasons that made Zhu Yuhe want to cooperate with the western continent was because of Bai Yinyue, moreover Zhou Xuan also came from the western continent, and she also appointed Murong Feiyan to study cooperation with the western continent.

After the coronation ceremony as over, those people immediately left the throne room. Especially Shan Lui who left in a hurry, because today's incident Zhu Yuhe really made him lose face in front of his people, so he chose to return to his kingdom immediately.

Dongfang Lie and Jie Xiaoru immediately returned to their room, because their daughter Dongfang Xinyue still hadn't woken up since last night. Even a physician had checked her condition, but he only said that she would wake up herself later, and that didn't give them any relief.

-------------------------------------

Outside Royal Palace

"Let's get out of this town soon, Father." Luo Chengsu persuaded his father who was chatting with another family's patriarch to leave Vermilion Capital City immediately, as he was very uneasy about Xia Tian's words earlier.

Luo Tianhe frowned at his son who looked worried after approaching Liu Ying earlier, he then asked. "What's the matter with you, Chengsu? Ever since you met Ying'er earlier, you've been acting really strange."

Liu Ming who was beside them also raised his eyebrows, because he had previously told Luo Chengsu not to approach Liu Ying, but he still did not heed his words.

"Father, I-" Before Luo Chengsu could finish speaking, a loud scream rang out from within that startled them all.

"Luo Chengsu!"

It was Xia Ling who screamed, and Luo Chengsu's body trembled violently, when he saw Xia Ling and his family members walking towards them.
