“Heavens! How could this little chef be the Lord of the Divine Chef Temple?!”
All the people present were somewhat struck dumb and looked petrified, whether they were Bu Fang’s enemies or friends. Of course, except Summer, the woman shrouded in obscurity. She had a faint smile on her red lips as she seemed pleased with the reaction. The shock was all she wanted. She wanted these people to be shocked by Bu Fang’s identity.
Silver Armor’s aura fluctuated violently, emanating a mighty force. His eyes were ablaze with silver light, and his gaze shot at Bu Fang like a sharp sword.
“How could the Lord of Divine Chef Temple be him? Where is that guy?!” His voice was deep and hoarse, almost growling.
Bu Fang raised the token and waved it. Made of a strange material, the token felt good to the touch. It was as cold as ice, and at the same time, as warm as volcanic rocks. His mental force kept pouring into it and then became very stable as he moved it. He could feel the steady improvement of his mental force.
Bu Fang could sense Silver Armor’s anger, and it made him a little confused. ‘Is being the Lord of Divine Chef Temple hindering this guy?’
Summer drifted down and landed in front of him, blocking him from Silver Armor’s aura.
“Where is that guy? Did he run away like a pus*y? That damned thing!”
Silver Armor was boiling with rage. His aura of a God King spilled out uncontrollably and turned into dazzling silver light. Above his head, countless Laws transformed into a Wheel of Law, rotating rapidly and causing the void to crack. This was the power of a God King, the top fighting force of the divine dynasty.
“I don’t know where that guy went. But… There is no doubt that Bu Fang is now the Lord of Divine Chef Temple. Therefore, he represents the Temple. If you take him with you, you are fighting the Temple, which is against His Majesty’s decree. Will you disobey His Majesty? Do you dare?!”
Summer’s voice boomed like thunder, making the void tremble.
Silver Armor took a step back. His eyes were bloodshot and filled with an unwilling look. “Dammit! Dammit! He fled! How did he do it?!” he growled, gnashing his teeth. “How can you let that guy go? He ruined everything for me and destroyed the woman I loved… And now he’s run away?!”
He raised a hand, and a Wheel of Law appeared in his palm, in which the terrible divine power of a God King gathered rapidly and turned into a very heavy drop of water. The next moment, the water drop shot out, crossed the void, and flew straight to Bu Fang, ignoring Summer in front of him. The blow contained the murderous will of a God King, as if Silver Armor had transferred his resentment toward the previous Lord of Divine Chef Temple to Bu Fang.
Standing behind Summer, the corner of Bu Fang’s mouth twitched violently. ‘What exactly did Mu Hongzi do to this Silver Armor? Why did he hate him so much?’ he thought. ‘Sure enough, being the Lord of Divine Chef Temple is not a good thing…’
“How dare you!” Summer’s eyes burst into bright light. She lifted a hand, and the Power of Laws emerged around her. The transparent Law of Space stacked up continuously, shrinking the space in front of her and expanding the distance between her and Silver Armor by countless times.
In the blink of an eye, Silver Armor’s attack disappeared completely. The Law of Space was extremely profound, and it was fearsome even when used for combat.
Silver Armor took a few steps back, all shrouded in burning anger.
“You’ve changed, Lord Silver Armor. I can’t believe you dare disobey His Majesty!” Summer cried out.
Her words pierced Silver Armor’s heart and made him step back further. The Divine Emperor had always been pressing on his heart like a boulder that suppressed heaven and earth.
The onlookers fell silent. Some of them were shocked by Summer’s prowess, while others marveled at Silver Armor’s madness. Bu Fang also gave a little sigh. ‘This Silver Armor is a man with stories and courage…’
“Although that guy ran away, I’ll find him and kill him! But even with a new Lord, no one can hide the fact that the Divine Chef Temple should be destroyed!” Silver Armor sneered. “Your Highness… We shall meet again someday. I don’t believe you won’t look for that guy. As soon as you leave, I will trample the Divine Chef Temple!” His voice rang through the air, harsh as metal.
It was hard to imagine that his relationship with the Divine Chef Temple was so bad.
“Silver Armor Guard!” He stepped back and shouted. The men stripped naked by Whitey straightened their backs, their eyes shining brightly and were filled with pride for their commander. “Retreat! When we strike again, we will be trampling the Divine Chef Temple!” After that, he turned to leave.
All of a sudden, just as Silver Armor turned around, a rumble rang out in the sky, accompanied by the cries of phoenixes. Then, a wall of rolling flames poured over, illuminating everything as it approached.
As soon as the strange phenomenon appeared, all the people were shocked. The warships and dragon-horse chariots that sped through the air came to a sudden halt, while everyone looked up at the sky, where a terrible existence was approaching.
Nine phoenixes, shrouded in flames, flew slowly over. As they flapped their wings, their burning feathers fell and dissolved into pure energy, dissipating into the void. They were followed by a procession of maids in fluttering long skirts and eunuchs with bowed heads.
“All hail the Imperial Concubine!” cried the leading eunuch, his voice so shrill that it seemed to rip the sky.
The nine phoenixes flapped their wings gracefully, pulling a resplendent and magnificent phoenix palanquin across the sky like the sun and filling the air with terrible energy fluctuations.
Silver Armor, who was about to leave, jerked his head up, his eyes sparkling with silver light. “Shaoji…” he muttered.
As the fire phoenixes flew across the air, the whole sky was blotted out by their flames. The experts hidden in the void all showed up and bowed respectfully to the palanquin. In the divine dynasty, a person’s distinguished status represented everything. Since the Imperial Concubine appeared in front of them, they must show her the necessary respect.
It was the same reason why the Imperial Concubine used nine phoenixes to pull her palanquin. Phoenixes lived and bred in Phoenix Nest, which was a famous great world like Dragon Valley. Most importantly, this great world was not under the jurisdiction of Xiayi Divine Dynasty. Therefore, the fact that she could use so many phoenixes to pull her palanquin was a sign of how much the Divine Emperor valued her.
The moment everyone recognized who it was, the Silver Armor Guards fell to their knees. Luo Sanniang, Hu Lu, and the others knelt on the ground as well. In the presence of the Imperial Concubine, everyone must salute. This was the basic etiquette of being a subject.
Bu Fang squinted at the nine phoenixes in the sky. In his spirit sea, both Divine Dragon and Vermilion Bird had already become restless. The former was restless simply because he saw the opposite sex, while the latter was angry. Bu Fang was a little confused. Vermilion Bird was also a female, but why didn’t Divine Dragon become restless when he saw her?
The maids and eunuchs kept sprinkling petals to make the arrival of the Imperial Concubine as grand as possible. The phoenix palanquin opened, and a figure came out of it, glowing with golden light. This was a beautiful woman, and her appearance seemed to overshadow everything in the world.
With her hands clasped behind her, Summer’s red lips curled slightly. She showed no reverence nor respect for the woman who stepped out of the palanquin. “This coquettish bitch…” she said disdainfully.
“Lord of Divine Chef Temple, why don’t you kneel when you see me?” The Imperial Concubine looked down at Bu Fang with a proud expression. The nine phoenixes surrounded her and made her look like a supreme queen.
Bu Fang paused, looked to the left and right, and then realized that the woman was talking to him. He thought for a moment, his face expressionless, but he said nothing. It was as if he didn’t hear anything at all.
In the sky, a eunuch held his fingers like a woman, pointed at Bu Fang, and screamed, “How dare you not kneel in the presence of the Imperial Concubine? You’re courting death!”
Suddenly, the eunuch’s eyes widened in horror. A terrible aura washed him over in an instant, and then the void around him began to crack like squares. His body split into pieces and was devoured by the distorted void.
Summer, her long hair waving in the wind, said coldly, “Who gave you the courage to talk to the Lord of Divine Chef Temple like that?”
She had killed the eunuch. As someone who comprehended the Law of Space, her strength was incredibly powerful.
“Summer, as the princess of the dynasty, why do you oppose me? I’m talking to the chef. What does it have to do with you?” said the Imperial Concubine, looking coldly at Summer.
“I’m not a princess. I’m the deputy of the Divine Chef Temple. The eunuch offended the Lord of Divine Chef Temple in front of me, so he deserves to die,” Summer said. She slowly stepped up into the air and faced the Imperial Concubine.
All the people present were silent, thinking that Summer was indeed the fierce and domineering princess, for she dared to even provoke the Imperial Concubine!
The Imperial Concubine’s eyes were cold, her chest heaving.
“Summer! Do you really think that I won’t punish you?!”
“You coquettish bitch… Do you think I’m afraid of you?” Summer shook her head and laughed.
“Very well! I’ll arrest this chef today. Let’s see who dares to stop me!” the Imperial Concubine said.
“Silver Armor!”
“Your Highness!” Silver Armor stepped out and flew up instantly.
“Arrest this chef for me!”
“Yes!” Silver Armor’s eyes burst into light. He gave a long roar as his aura erupted completely. It was as if a dormant dragon suddenly woke up at this moment, causing the whole capital to tremble.
The next moment, he turned into a silvery flash of light, shooting out and heading for Bu Fang. As he approached, he raised his hand. Shafts of silver light gathered in his palm and turned into a silver sword, which contained monstrous killing intent. It was the killing intent of a God King!
With the appearance of the sword, the void was constantly breaking. The power of at least one hundred Laws was contained in the sword! It was a strike that shocked everyone!
Summer’s eyes narrowed slightly. “How dare you disobey His Majesty’s decree?!” she snapped.
At this moment, the Imperial Concubine released her aura, and a supreme phoenix emerged behind her. The oppressive aura immediately froze Summer.
“Silver Armor, kill him! I’ll explain to His Majesty! This little chef must die!” bellowed the Imperial Concubine, her voice shaking the world.
Everyone’s expression changed dramatically.
“Is Her Highness crazy? How dare she defy His Majesty’s decree in the presence of so many people?!”
Silver Armor unflinchingly swung out his sword and charged at Bu Fang with a murderous look.
Bu Fang took a deep breath. In his spirit sea, the true-form of his divine sense had already put its palm around a divine power liquid drop. In a split second, he could crush it and fight Silver Armor.
But just as he was about to do it, the token of Lord Temple suddenly flashed and then turned into a beam of light, shooting toward Silver Armor’s sword.
