"Let him in!"
Upon hearing the news, a tall general dressed in black and gold armor rushed over and immediately ordered the soldiers in charge of the city's defenses to make way.
As one of the commanders of the Imperial City Bureau, he naturally knew that what Chen Mu said was true, and that Emperor Haotian Empire had indeed issued such an edict.
After the city guards made way, Chen Mu still didn't land. Instead, he shot straight into the gates of the Heavenly Emperor City.
"Idiot!"
The commander of the Imperial City Bureau sneered, revealing a gloating expression.
As the number one city in the world, Heavenly Emperor City naturally has the most powerful city defense formation in the world. He has served in Heavenly Emperor City for hundreds of years and has never seen anyone fly inside Heavenly Emperor City.
He could almost see Chen Mu falling from the sky, looking utterly disheveled.
However, things did not go as he wished. After Chen Mu rushed into the city gate, an energy barrier did indeed light up on the gate.
However, the rune-covered robe on Chen Mu glowed, blocking the energy barrier, and he rushed into the city gate without any hindrance, heading straight for the palace.
"You bastard!"
The commander of the Imperial City Bureau was immediately alarmed. He quickly jumped up, wanting to chase after Chen Mu.
After all, Chen Mu flew in through the city gate under his jurisdiction, and if his superiors took it seriously, he would inevitably be punished for dereliction of duty.
But he didn't have Chen Mu's ability to fly. He jumped a few steps on the roof, and seeing Chen Mu fly further and further away, he could only slump to the ground helplessly, his face full of resignation.
Relying on his rune-covered robe, Chen Mu swaggered through the Heavenly Emperor City as if it were his own backyard. Wherever he went, everyone cast astonished glances at him.
"Who are they? How dare they fly through the city?"
Many highly skilled individuals, who had nothing better to do, actually jumped onto the rooftops and followed Chen Mu in the direction he was flying, wanting to see what the commotion was about.
Soon, Chen Mu arrived at the Haotian Imperial Palace, standing before its gates.
"How dare you! How dare you act so presumptuously within the Heavenly Emperor City!"
Wei Lirong, the commander of the Imperial City Bureau, received the urgent message from the city gate commander and arrived just in time. He led a group of men and stopped Chen Mu in front of the palace.
"I am Chen Mu, the Grand Preceptor of the Chen Kingdom. I have come to the palace to pay my respects to His Haotian Empire Supreme Emperor by imperial decree! Please make way!"
A majestic voice rang out from him once more, spreading in all directions. The onlookers finally realized Chen Mu's identity; he was actually from the Chen Kingdom.
"Entering the palace is fine, but you must land on the ground before me, or I have the right to kill you on the spot!!"
Although Wei Lirong has not yet reached the Saint Level, he can still Saint Fighter by forming a battle formation with more than a dozen Emperor Level experts.
"Overestimating oneself."
Chen Mu ignored Wei Lirong and drove the warship straight into the palace.
"Court death!"
Wei Lirong immediately ordered his men to gather all their strength and launch a devastating attack on Chen Mu.
The Imperial Heaven Ascending Dragon Formation!
A golden dragon phantom appeared above their heads, then roared angrily and lunged at Chen Mu.
But Chen Mu didn't even glance at the phantom dragon. His spaceship emitted an energy wave that shattered the golden dragon.
Crack!
The array formations inside the palace were clearly much more powerful than those outside. As soon as Chen Mu entered the palace, countless bolts of lightning struck him with tremendous force.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...!
Countless array flags flew out from Chen Mu's body, forming mysterious sky-covering patterns that concealed his aura. The array in the air seemed to have suddenly lost its target, blindly attacking in all directions and damaging many buildings in the palace.
A Huo once single-handedly stormed into the Haotian Imperial Palace to save Chen Duo.
However, he wasn't as blatant as Chen Mu. He simply infiltrated the outer perimeter of the palace, killed several members of the War Emperor Palace, defeated Wen Dao, the leader of the three royal knights of the Haotian Empire, rescued the people, and escaped.
This time, Chen Mu was much bolder. He openly confronted the Heavenly Emperor City's formation, appearing relaxed and at ease, as if he wanted to tell the Haotian Empire Emperor that he could not be trapped here at all.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...!
The experts enshrined in the palace could no longer contain themselves, and three Sage rushed out at once. The one who took the lead was a tall, thin old man wearing a dark gold dragon robe and holding a golden token.
"National Preceptor Chen Mu, although His Majesty invited you to the palace, he did not allow you to be so ostentatious."
Is this behavior an attempt to act presumptuously within my palace?
The tall, thin old man shouted loudly, and three powerful auras of Sage rushed towards Chen Mu Chen Mu, finally stopping him.
This man was named Gao Hanfei. He was a confidant of the previous emperor of the Haotian Empire. He was extremely talented and broke through to the Saint Level hundreds of years ago, ascending to the Heavenly Realm to serve the Heavenly Court.
After the great changes in the world of the Pan Emperor Continent, he was the first to petition to descend to the mortal realm.
He was extremely loyal to the direct line of the Haotian Imperial Family, and Long Bo did not treat him unfairly, granting him the official title of "Nine Thousand Years," meaning that within the palace, his status was second only to the emperor.
What he held in his hand was one of the array tokens of the imperial palace formation; only with it could they fly within the palace.
"Haha, this is my first time in the Heavenly Emperor City, I'm not familiar with your rules, please forgive me."
Chen Mu wasn't there to declare war, so naturally he wouldn't actually fight them. He steered his warship to an open space near the center of the palace and landed there.
After he landed, the defensive formation in the air lost its target and slowly dissipated.
Gao Hanfei also snorted coldly, and led his men to spread out, keeping a close eye on Chen Mu's movements.
The tense atmosphere in the palace finally dissipated. Chen Mu straightened his robes and slowly walked towards the main hall in the center of the Haotian Imperial Palace.
He could cover ten meters in a single step, Shrinking the Ground to an Inch. Despite the vast size of the palace, he arrived at the Golden Palace of the Haotian Imperial Palace, the place where many ministers of the Haotian Empire held their morning court sessions, in just half an incense stick's time.
Chen Mu arrived at just the right time, precisely when the Haotian Empire was holding its morning court session. His commotion had already attracted everyone's attention, and many of the Haotian Empire's important officials were already waiting in the Golden Palace for Chen Mu.
" Chen Mu, the Grand Preceptor of the Chen Kingdom, has come to pay homage at the summons of His Haotian Empire Supreme Emperor."
Chen Mu stepped into the Golden Palace and then, as if by teleportation, instantly arrived at the center of the Golden Palace.
He bowed slightly to Long Bo, who sat upright above him, his expression neither humble nor arrogant, as if he were having a casual chat.
" Chen Mu! With such arrogance, aren't you afraid I'll kill you on the spot?"
Long Bo's face darkened with anger as he stared coldly at Chen Mu.
He never imagined that Chen Mu would have the ability to break the anti-flight formation within the palace. This formation was a remnant from ancient times, and if fully activated, it was said that no one below the level of a god could escape it.
He had originally planned that if Chen Mu dared to resist today, he would use the palace's formation to teach Chen Mu a lesson and give Chen Mu a warning.
But now the situation has reversed; before he could even give Chen Mu a hard time, Chen Mu has given him one.
His mood at that moment was undoubtedly extremely bad.
