Heavenly Net Dynasty.

Inside the main hall.

The current Heavenly Net Emperor sat listlessly on the dragon throne.

Dozing off.

Judging from his appearance, he was only in his early thirties, but he seemed to have been drained by wine and women, and had no energy at all.

A commander knelt on one knee and reported, "Your Majesty, after the deaths of King Li wife at the Immortal Music Palace, King Li's rebel army was leaderless and collapsed. They have now been completely annihilated, and all the lost cities have been recaptured. Only a small group of rebels remains, scattered and fleeing, and they are no longer a threat!"

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty!"

The Heavenly Net Emperor, seated on the dragon throne, remained silent for a long time.

The commander raised his voice.

At last.

It was only when the eunuch stepped forward and gently nudged Heavenly Net Emperor that the latter suddenly opened his eyes with a start.

"Good! Well done! Everyone deserves a reward!"

Heavenly Net Emperor noticed that all his ministers were looking at him, and he had no idea what the commander had just reported.

Just reward them!

"Thank you for your great kindness, Your Majesty!"

The commander hurriedly kowtowed to express his gratitude, then bowed again and said, "Your Majesty! The Immortal Music Palace has made an invaluable contribution to quelling this rebellion. Our dynasty should take this opportunity to cultivate good relations with such a cultivation sect. I propose that Your Majesty issue an edict to reward the Immortal Music Palace."

The commander finished speaking.

The other ministers also nodded in agreement.

This makes sense.

Immortal Music Palace is a first-rate sect that is untouched by the mortal world.

I don't know what stroke of luck I had this time, but I actually had the opportunity to befriend Immortal Music Palace.

This opportunity is absolutely not to be missed.

Normally, these cultivation sects are all aloof and unapproachable, and the dynasty has no way to visit or pay tribute to them.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

In addition, the news was released by the Immortal Music Palace.

To reconcile with the Dragon-Seeking Sect forever.

This shocked the court officials even more.

Although they were located in Qian Province, super sects have always been rare.

Each super sect represents absolute pinnacle status and strength.

How could they not be aware of the Dragon-Seeking Sect's capabilities?

The most obvious example is the Yama Holy Sect, who is stationed in Qian Province.

It is also the only super sect in Qian Province.

High and mighty.

Like a king over this land of Qian Province.

Truly a person of their word.

In Qian Province, no sect or force dared to defy the decree of the Yama Holy Sect.

As for the Heavenly Net Dynasty, they had absolutely no chance of contacting the Yama Holy Sect.

Therefore, facing the Immortal Music Palace, which has now reconciled with the Dragon-Seeking Sect.

None of the courtiers wanted to miss this opportunity.

"Your Majesty, this old minister believes that Your Majesty should purify your mind and reduce your desires, bathe and fast, and then personally visit Immortal Music Palace with full courtesy to show your sincerity."

A highly respected senior official stepped forward and spoke.

"I second that proposal!"

"I second that proposal!"

The ministers spoke up one after another.

Although the Heavenly Net Dynasty, as a secular dynasty, appeared to be glorious...

But in the eyes of a first-rate cultivation sect like Immortal Music Palace.

However, it's just one force.

According to the ranking of sects above the Nine Provinces.

It barely reaches the level of a second-rate sect.

This is why even a rebellion launched by King Li could almost completely overturn the Heavenly Net Dynasty.

However, when the ministers' suggestion reached Heavenly Net Emperor's ears, he frowned slightly.

The Heavenly Net Emperor, does he really have to lower himself to visit the Immortal Music Palace?

There are some things he can't do.

He ascended to a high position at a young age and has been accustomed to being in a position of power for more than a decade.

Besides, he's very busy.

During the day, he had to plant spiritual fruits and raise spiritual beasts; at night, he had to drink and make merry with the beauties of the harem.

How could anyone bear to purify their mind and body, bathe and fast, before visiting the Immortal Music Palace?

He never has enough time.

It's all thanks to his skill in time management.

Otherwise, they would all be too busy to be in two places at once.

Just as he was wondering how to refuse, a figure draped in black robes clasped his hands in greeting and said in the main hall:

"Your Majesty, I believe we should invite the Palace Master of Immortal Music Palace to our dynasty. Only in this way can Your Majesty demonstrate your dignified and unyielding spirit. If we merely rely on others, I fear our dynasty will always be walking on thin ice, treading on cautiously, and those powerful sects will not take Your Majesty seriously."

The man in black robes had barely finished speaking when...

The courtiers also glanced at him slightly.

This man is a powerful expert invited by His Majesty.

Not only was his cultivation powerful, but he also provided His Majesty with much amusement, earning him the deep respect of Heavenly Net Emperor.

His words naturally carried considerable weight.

"Excellent! Mister Kunmu truly understands my heart. That's how it should be. Three days later, a banquet will be held at the Imperial Palace to entertain the officials. Furthermore, the Director of the Directorate of Ceremonial shall immediately depart for the Immortal Music Palace to deliver an invitation, inviting the Palace Master of Immortal Music Palace to the banquet."

"As you command!"

After receiving the order, the Directorate of Ceremonial immediately set off.

Heavenly Net Emperor smiled, pondering which concubines he should bring to the banquet three days later.

As for the Immortal Music Palace, he didn't care about it at all.

It's best if you come.

Even if he didn't come, he could simply take it as an opportunity to reward his officials at the banquet.

Then, he glanced at Mister Kunmu was wrapped in a black robe.

They exchanged glances, indicating that they would go to see the mythical beast garden together after the court assembly.

Kunmu nodded and smiled subtly.

Next, seeing that no one had anything to report, they made their reports.

Heavenly Net Emperor waved his hand and said, "I am tired. Court is adjourned."

After saying that, Heavenly Net Emperor was the first to rush out, not wanting to stay a moment longer.

His Highness Kunmu also followed Heavenly Net Emperor away.

After the two left.

Immediately, many voices of discussion arose among the assembled officials.

"This Mister Kunmu is going too far. He dared to reject our proposal in front of everyone, and he was especially disrespectful to Elder Wang. If it weren't for his cultivation level, I would have lost my temper long ago."

Some people spoke up in defense of Elder Wang had first made the suggestion.

A hint of sorrow welled up in Elder Wang's aged eyes.

"Such disrespect for the Immortal Music Palace, I fear I may encounter further trouble..."

Upon hearing this, everyone deeply agreed.

"The rebellion of the King Li has just been quelled; we mustn't make things worse and offend the Immortal Music Palace."

They also know His Majesty's character.

Furthermore, with Mister Kunmu stirring things up, it would have been better if Immortal Music Palace hadn't come.

At most, it will just be the same as before.

Well water should not interfere with river water.

If it really comes.

Your Majesty, if you speak recklessly and offend the people of the Immortal Music Palace...

The original intention was to make friends.

In the end, however, they offended him.

That would be a losing proposition.

Unfortunately, that Mister Kunmu relied on his powerful cultivation.

He was also highly regarded by His Majesty.

They act without any scruples.

It has even gradually eroded His Majesty's power, causing him to indulge only in pleasure.

Hollowed out by wine and women.

Otherwise, the King Li army would not have been able to so easily capture more than a dozen cities.

"Mister Kunmu is instigating His Majesty to go too far. The Spirit Beast Garden was originally only for keeping some wild animals and some low-grade spirit beasts for ornamental purposes."

"But recently, many commoners have been placed in gardens to be chased by wild beasts. Those who escape are rewarded, while those who cannot become food for the spirit beasts..."

A look of reluctance appeared on the face of one of the court officials.

"Such a matter that has alienated the people is something the palace has been trying its best to suppress. I fear that one day it will become uncontrollable and lead to a great disaster!"
