"We need to know more about the royal family before we take any steps. One wrong move and things can go real bad. As often
said, 'know thy enemy". Let's find out more about them,"
the FlEmperor advised Austin after thinking for a while.
"I'm all over it."
Austin brought out the Contact Jade Slip that Elder Sharp had given him and sent out a message.
Very soon after that, a stout, gentle, middle-aged man was seen hurrying to the place Austin was at.
'Hang on! That is the Holy Heritor of the FlHoly Land, Austin Lin." On his way, the middle aged man recognized the person he
was walking towards and trembled slightly at the prospect of meeting such a powerful personality.
He had been able to recognize Austin instantly since the latter wasn't in disguise.
In front of such a famous and important figure, he began acting respectfully.
"Hello sir. | believe you are the Holy Heritor. My nis Dowson Hao and | am here to help. If you need anything, just letknow
and | will do my level best,"
the middle aged man bowed hurriedly to Austin.
He was a mid-level executive at the Deep Sea Commercial House and was well-informed.
He knew that the young man in front of him was incredibly powerful. Not only that, the latter also had an incredible master of the
Immortal Transforming Realm backing him up. The man could not afford to displease him.
He had also seen that the owner of the Deep Sea Commercial House, Yannick, always treated Austin courteously and would be on
his beck and call.
Rumor had it that Yannick's daughter had ssort of relationship with Austin. Whether it was romantic or not was, as of yet,
unknown.
There were chances that the two would get married in the future.
However, the response Dowson Hao received was highly unexpected.
"There's no need to be so formal, Dowson. | just want to learn a few things about the royal family of this kingdom,"
Austin asked in a pleasant tone.
"Yes Mr. Austin. Whatever you need to know, you can ask me. I'll tell you all | can,"
Dowson Hao replied respectfully.
"Let's start with the basics. Who's the emperor now?"
Austin asked.
"Roy Wei,"
Dowson Hao replied shortly.
"Huh! My uncle has really becthe emperor!"
the FlEmperor exclaimed inside Austin's Soul Sea.
"Alright... Do you know Hardy Lv? Is he an official in the court?"
Austin asked.
Actually, to be specific, it was the FlEmperor who wanted to know these things. Austin at the moment, was just a medium.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Yes sir. Hardy Lv is a general in the army. These days, he is guarding the border of the Cloud Empire. He is a man of immense
power as I've heard,"
Dowson Hao told him.
"l knew it.
Hardy Lv, that son of a bitch.
He must have colluded with my uncle. If that weren't so, Uncle Roy never would have appointed him general!
It was Hardy with his crew who hunteddown in the early days,"
the FlEmperor roared furiously.
"Okay. And what about Leopold Wei? | believe he was the prince a thousand years ago? How is he doing these days?"
Austin asked.
"Prince Leopold Wei?
The ndoes ring a bell. It was said that he was charged of treason and relegated to a civilian. My sources are sure of one thing
though.
The man has been under house arrest in the imperial capital city since then and it is unlikely he will ever be allowed to leave,"
answered Dowson Hao.
"How did that happen? That's impossible!
My father might not have been a saint, but he would never commit treason.
My uncle must have framed him somehow. Oh you bastard Roy Wei, | never thought you'd be so cruel and cowardly. You stole the
throne from my father, and then treated him like an prisoner. He was your family! You obnoxious, lowlife scumbag!" the Flame
Emperor began howling curses in Austin's Soul Sea.
He had gotten carried away on hearing that his father had been framed.
"You're right. Roy Wei does sound ruthless and cowardly.
But rest assured, his good days will cto an end soon,"
Austin comforted him.
"Yeah, yeah, they will! Austin, you can't let him go. And kill Hardy Lv too. | am in this state only because of him,"
the FlEmperor said through gritted teeth.
"Holy Heritor, is there anything else you wish to know?"
Dowson Hao asked when he noticed that Austin had gone silent.
"Yes. Go and round up your best subordinates. | need you to helptake over this kingdom!"
Austin smiled.
"I beg your pardon? "
Dowson Hao was shocked.
"Holy Heritor, | feel like | should warn you. The royal family in this kingdom is in bed with the Arcane Holy Land. They are backing
each other's play.
Besides, there are numerous powerful cultivators from the Arcane Holy Land guarding the city,"
he reminded Austin gingerly.
"Don't worry. If even a single person form the Arcane Holy Land dares to meddle in my affairs, | will kill them all.
You don't have to be afraid. Just do as | say,"
Austin responded with a sneer.
'So it is true! The Holy Heritor is indeed as overbearing a killer as rumors have made him to be. | wonder what the royal family of
the Cloud Empire has done to this little demon? Ahhhh, never mind! They are courting their own destruction and | should mind my
own business,
Dowson Hao thought inwardly.
"Yes, Holy Heritor. Rest assured. | will get it done,"
Dowson Hao responded.
‘This young man has a powerful master at the Immortal Transforming Realm on his side. Even the people of the Arcane Holy Land
can't afford to mess with him. If | try to go against him, | am going to be in a shitload of trouble. | should just do as I'm told."
Dowson Hao immediately left to gather his crew.
"Are you going to visit your father now?"
Austin asked.
"No. The crown prince will marry new concubine and the ceremony will last a few days.
He is required by custom to take his concubines for a tour of the imperial capital city tomorrow.
And that darned excused of a king is most likely to show up on the streets with the queen to celebrate the wedding. They say they
do it to share their happiness for the people. | think it's just an excuse to gather ssupport.
Anyhow, when they cout on the streets tomorrow, we will go beat up the royal family members and that Hardy Lv in front of
the entire city.
| want Roy and his family to be humiliated in front of civilians!" the FlEmperor decided through gnashed teeth.
Then something must have struck him.
"Boy, | am not asking too much of you, am 1?"
he asked.
"Don't worry. It's going to be a piece of cake,"
Austin responded with a smile.
'He has held this deep grudge against his uncle and the man who almost destroyed his soul for thousands of years now. | don't
think he ever forgot about his revenge even for a second during all that time.
It would be inappropriate if | were to ignore his request and not fulfill his wishes. The man needs to get even with his enemies.’
The next day, the imperial capital city was filled with a dense crowd.
A pathway had been cleared in the middle for the procession.
The crown prince was going to marry a couple of ladies. The ceremony would take place in the palace in the morning after which,
they would make their appearances on the streets.
Numerous civilians had also heard that the king and the queen were going to show up to celebrate this huge event with them.
For the commoners, seeing the king on the streets was a huge deal and they had flocked outside to catch a glimpse of him.
At dawn, soldiers from the royal family began knocking at the doors and distributed colorful paper lanterns among the civilians,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmasking them to hang the decorative objects in front of their houses.
The people were also given sfireworks which they could let set off at night.
Sgold and household items were also distributed in sparts of the city.
Allin all, a festive atmosphere enveloped the whole city.
At 9:00 am, three fancy carriages, flanked by two black ones for the guards departed from the imperial palace and hit the streets.
Clad in a golden robe and riding a red flood dragon horse was a man who led the whole procession. He seemed to be in a good
mood but seemed haughty in nature.
He was the current crown prince of the Cloud Empire, and the only son of the FlEmperor's uncle—Roy Wei, who had become
the king now.
That made this young man the FlEmperor's cousin.
Behind the crown prince, a luxurious carriage, pulled by six tall, red flood dragon horses proceeded forwarded. The curtains of the
carriage were open, and people along the streets could see the middle-aged couple sitting inside it. Despite looking like they were
thoroughly enjoying themselves, the two seemed to be exuding an aura of authority.
They were the king and the queen!
The emperor had a square face and was at the premium stage of Major-perfection Realm. He radiated a domineering, grave aura
and his cruelty was visible on his face.
The queen was wearing light make-up today, which gave her an elegant and classy look.
These magnificent royal carriages attracted the attention of all the people in the entire imperial capital city as they proceeded on
the pre-determined path. Most people would swarm forward and stand on the sides of the street to see the king, the queen and the
crown prince.
"The king is such a figure to them. So many people have gathered here to see him," Austin sneered.
He was standing on the corner of a small street and looking at the grand procession that was coming his way slowly. A defiant
smile appeared on his face.
The carriages of the royal family were just about to go past Austin.
In a flash, he suddenly moved and appeared directly in the center of the street, blocking the procession's path.
'What!" Everyone was shocked. Who would dare to block the king's path?
'What is going on?
Who is that man daring enough to stand in the way of the emperor and the crown prince ?*
