BXBX NOVEL Chapter 363 The Throne Speaks Back
"What is that presence? Who is attacking the very imperial palace?" Tian Xin asked.
She was in Liu Ling Tian\'s embrace, who was carrying her through the vast palace and toward the exit.
"We have a problem." Li Tian suddenly appeared next to Liu Ling Tian and Liu Qian.
"What happened?" Liu Qian asked.
"The Imperial Palace. It is under attack. We have to go to the throne room either way. There is no other exit here, and sooner or later, we will be found." Li Tian said.
"We were going there in the first place." Tian Xin said, but Liu Ling Tian looked away, a small bead of sweat on his forehead dropping on the petite beauty in his arms.
"You- you wanted to leave our son here in the hands of these monsters?" Tian Xin\'s brow trembled.
"I was going to stay here, if that helped. And, he is in good hands. The White Tiger himself will be next to Liu Feng, protecting him." Li Tian said.
"Go there. Right now. I don\'t know what came over you, but I want to meet him. Now." Tian Xin said, her voice trembling with sorrow and anger.
"He is gone, Xin\'er. You don\'t need to do this to yourself. The moment you see him, you will want to take his burden away. And the throne, it is greedy. It will want to take you along with him, and I cannot lose you both." Liu Ling Tian shook his head.
"No. I will not accept this. Take me there. Now!" She shouted.
"We have nowhere else to go, Brother. We have to go there either way. The throne room is the safest place. Especially now that the palace is under siege." Li Tian said.
"Fine. Who is in the palace? Tian Jiang, I suppose?"
"Yes. Him and Cai Guo. I mean, Liu Feng knocked up quite the racket, destroying the Hong family and all. He got the support of the Cai family like that." Li Tian said.
"He did what?" Tian Xin coughed.
"He destroyed the Hong family. Oh right! You were here! You and brother gave birth to the strongest genius that the entire world has probably seen in the last couple thousand years. I mean, he is already in the Soul Evolution Stage! How does one get so strong so fast? And I checked him. No demonic energy within him. He is as clean as one can be." Li Tian said.
"I remember. I felt it once. He broke the seal that I put on him. And that part of my soul is independent of me, and I need to meet him to communicate with it. But he opened his Spiritual Root. I don\'t know if his Spiritual Blood and bone are activated as well, but his spiritual root, you remember the dazzling light that came just from his light." Tian Xin looked at her husband.
"It is a pity that he-"
"It is not set in stone. I know that you can move faster. Get there as fast as you can, Tian, or I will get on my own two feet." Tian Xin said.
Liu Ling Tian sighed, and he suddenly disappeared, as did the other two next to him.
The Throne Room,
"I am telling you, Cai Guo, this is going to be the death of the Tiandu kingdom. All because you are not allowing me to kill that brat and let the crown prince do what he has to!"
"He sat on the throne before he had the last remaining piece. He is going to be cursed! He will die in a few days. You know that! We cannot waste time. There is too much to be done!" Tian Jiang shouted at Cai Guo, who turned a blind eye to what was transpiring.
"He is different. He is the dragon princess\' son, isn\'t he? He could change the throne\'s conditions. Maybe the throne will accept him."
"The people who have come first are the Handu! The moment they come to the throne room and the throne isn\'t refined, the throne\'s artifact spirit will jump at the nearest prince with enough Handu blood and all that we will have worked towards will be lost!" Tian Jiang scowled.
In front of them, Liu Man was sitting cross legged, eyes open, and straight at the people who threatened to attack Liu Feng.
Next to him, Min Wan also stood to defend Liu Feng. She wasn\'t sure if she was strong enough to go against the giants, but she could stall the weaker ones.
And Liu Feng himself was within the barrier that Liu Man put up. He was trying his best to refine the artifact and he just realized something truly interesting. There was something about the artifact that was trying to communicate with him, and also trying to resist him.
He eventually gave in, and tried talking to the artifact. And the moment he did, he regretted it.
"You #$%^& $%^& $%^&* $%^&* a$$ hole. How dare you forcefully try to refine me? And you don\'t even have the final piece that you idiots broke from me." A pissed off voice resounded in Liu Feng\'s head.
He shook his head. The amount of profanity that was heard could only be censored.
"What are you? An artifact spirit? It looks like this artifact is even better than what I imagined. I thought that artifact spirits were only seen in the Ancient Realms." Liu Feng wondered out loud.
This was something he had done some slight reading on, as it interested him.
"Of course I am an artifact spirit. You have a wierd smell though boy. You smell really interesting, and a little familiar. Do you know someone called Tian Xin?" The voice asked.
"Tian Xin? Who is that? Wait, could you be talking about the dragon princess?" Liu Feng asked. Now, he stopped pouring Qi into the throne and his ears perked up as he listened to what the voice had to say now.
