#367 - Chapter 367: Hong in Lingxiao Palace

Noon.

Ye Kong took Ye Ling and flew to a height of ten thousand miles.

Ye Kong still couldn't stand Ye Ling's constant nagging in his ear, so he took her to the Hall of Lingxiao.

"Do you know where the Hall of Lingxiao is?" Ye Kong asked.

"I know, I can sense it." Ye Ling said, leading the way higher and higher.

The Hall of Lingxiao is hidden in the clouds, drifting with the clouds. Ordinary people can't find it at all, and even the Great Emperor can't sense its location.

Only by remembering the location and direction of movement of the Hall of Lingxiao can one find it.

Although Ye Ling had never been to the Hall of Lingxiao before, she could sense its location.

The two flew in the air for nearly two quarters of an hour before stopping on a cloud.

"The Hall of Lingxiao is ahead."

As Ye Ling spoke, she waved her hand to disperse the clouds, and an entrance appeared in front.

"You know the Hall of Lingxiao, why do you still want me to accompany you?" Ye Kong asked suspiciously.

"I'm afraid of accidents. It's safer to have you with me."

Besides, with you around, there won't be any accidents.

As she spoke, Ye Ling directly grabbed Ye Kong and walked into the entrance.

In the huge Hall of Lingxiao, there were many white jade chairs on both the left and right sides, layer upon layer; and in the middle of the hall were twelve white jade pillars, inlaid with gold, pearls, and so on, shining brightly.

Dense immortal mist drifted, setting off the place like a fairyland.

At the end of the Hall of Lingxiao, there was a huge throne. Below the throne, there were seven or eight seats, and on the left and right sides, there were also a few slightly inferior jade chairs.

"Is this where the Heavenly Duke lives?" Ye Kong frowned slightly.

"Why is there no one here?"

With so many seats, there isn't a single person. Isn't the Heavenly Duke just a commander without an army?

Ye Ling walked to the throne and gently stroked it, then sat in the seat closest to the throne.

When she sat down, spiritual fruits and wine automatically appeared on the table in front of her.

It was as if that position belonged to her.

Seeing this, Ye Kong sat directly on the throne, wanting to see what would happen.

"Ye Kong, don't sit!" Ye Ling shouted, but it was too late, Ye Kong had already sat down.

"Bold, daring to sit on the throne of the Lord!"

"Despising the Lord, you should be killed!"

"Kill!!!"

Ye Kong's ears were filled with one voice after another, and those empty seats seemed to be filled with figures.

At the same time,

The awakened ancient powerhouses looked up at the sky.

"The Lord's throne has been touched? Has the Lord recovered?"

"Wasn't the Royal Court destroyed long ago? Why is there still aura leaking out?"

"Will the Lord really return?"

Many resurrected ancient powerhouses could sense the aura of the Royal Court.

They could also sense that the Lord's throne had been touched.

The position Ye Kong sat on was the position of the Lord of the Royal Court, the Lord of Heaven and Earth, Hong.

His sitting directly triggered the ancient residual aura, thereby triggering a projection.

Inside the Hall of Lingxiao.

Ye Kong looked at the figures that appeared, some he recognized, and some he didn't.

Those he recognized included Xing, Yun, Yuan, etc., and there were a lot he didn't recognize.

Ye Ling put down her food and hurriedly shouted: "Ye Kong, come down quickly. If you sit on it for too long, they will remember your aura."

Although Hong had disappeared, there were still many people loyal to him.

Once they learned that Ye Kong was sitting on the throne of the Lord of Heaven and Earth, they would definitely not spare Ye Kong.

This position was the exclusive throne of the Human King, and no one else could sit on it.

"It's okay." A figure appeared next to Ye Kong.

This figure was extremely blurry, shrouded in a thin layer of immortal mist.

"Hong..." Ye Ling called out.

"Everyone, please be seated!" Hong said.

Only then did everyone sit down, remaining silent.

"Ling, you've come." Hong said softly.

"Hong, you're not dead, are you?" Ye Ling asked.

"No, I'm dead. This is just a remnant of my will." Hong shook his head and smiled, then looked at the person sitting on equal footing with him.

"Although I don't know who you are, since Ling is by your side, then please take good care of her." Hong said to Ye Kong.

Ye Kong narrowed his eyes and looked at Hong, but found that he couldn't see through him.

"Don't look, I'm already dead, just a remnant of my divine sense remains." Hong said with a chuckle.

"You dare to sit on the throne, proving that you also have the ability to control the world, and Ling is by your side, indicating that you have replaced my position. Does the current cultivation world respect you as its master?" Hong asked.

"No, he's lazy, he fishes all day long." Ye Ling said.

These words surprised Hong somewhat.

"Is that so? That's not bad either, a hermit, hidden in the mountain mist, playing in the mortal world." Hong said again.

"No, he's the Peak Master of逍遥 Peak of the Star River Sect, has accepted more than a dozen disciples, and spends his days teaching disciples and fishing." Ye Ling said.

This made Hong even more surprised. Not a hermit, not a master, just a Peak Master?

A Peak Master has the ability to control the world...

Could it be that this Star River Sect is a transcendent great sect?

Just like my Royal Court, possessing transcendent power?

In his Royal Court, everyone who had a seat was an ancient powerhouse, an existence that surpassed the Great Emperor.

Even the Great Emperor was not qualified to sit.

Having great power but not caring about the world, this made Hong suspect that the Star River Sect was a sect that transcended everything else?

"Those few disciples of mine are enough to worry about. I have no interest in managing the world." Ye Kong said leisurely.

Hearing this, Hong shook his head and said: "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Fellow Daoist, your cultivation is strong, you should take the rise and fall of the world as your own responsibility."

"Sorry, I'm just a Qi Refiner." Ye Kong said with a smile.

Hong:...
