Chapter 1653: Chapter 1513: Does the Heavenly Palace Really Exist?
âThe vote is over, isnât the meeting concluded? I have other matters to attend to and must take my leave now.â At this time, City Lord Lin Xian stood up, seemingly at the right moment, and gave Old Master Gu a disrespectful bow.
After finishing his words, City Lord Lin Xian stood up from his seat and strode toward the door to leave.
His pace was quick, seeming as though he was chasing after Liu Binglan.
âSigh, the meeting has been going on for a whole day, everyone is tired. Whatever matters there are, letâs talk about them Tomorrow,â City Lord Xia Yin also stood up.
Following suit, Judge Xiao also got up and said, âTaking my leave.â
âThis woman sure has character,â the King of Ningâs Dynasty chuckled, slowly rising to his feet.
King Ningâs decision to leave at this time was not because he truly thought Liu Binglan had personality, but because Yu Suo had told King Ning through Mental Sound to wrap up the meeting early; otherwise Liu Binglan, turning around and leaving like that, might indeed end up being directly detained within Liangkun Mountain.
While Yu Suo was asking King Ning for help, she also instructed her hidden pawns to stand up and leave with these leaders. By doing this, the Imperial Clan would not say anything more.
âFamily Master Tao, thisâŠâ Vice Sect Master Peng Meng of the Elemental Sect was at a loss for a moment, so he asked.
âLetâs disperse. There arenât any other important matters,â Family Master Tao stood up and courteously helped Master Rong to rise as well.
Master Rong also got up willingly, no longer intending to continue the discussions.
Seeing this scene unfold, Old Master Guâs cheeks immediately flushed with anger.
These people were clearly trying to make excuses for Liu Binglan. If everyone didnât disperse, Old Master Gu could definitely find a reason to convict her!
âForget it, our goal has been achieved. Letâs just disperse,â At this time, a Mental Sound entered Old Master Guâs ear.
Old Master Gu glanced at a young-looking man seated in the leaderâs seat and slightly nodded his head, no longer pursuing the matter.

After Chu Tianmang left the Mountain Villa, he saw a streak of starlight move across a distant mountain peak, clearly Liu Binglan was flying towards that direction.
He recited a Spell, summoning his own Winged Soul Pet, and swiftly followed her flight.
After traversing the majestic mountain peaks, upon the cloud-encompassed mountaintop, Chu Tianmang saw Liu Binglan sitting at the edge of a steep rock.
He was greatly shocked by Liu Binglanâs actions. This woman couldnât be thinking of ending it all, could she?
The recent targeting by the Two Great Royal Families and the Major Powers was truly inhumane, placing such immense pressure on Liu Binglanâs shoulders, and how was she to cope all alone without any support?
Chu Tianmang watched her from a distance without thinking too much and flew in front of her.
Liu Binglan slightly lifted her head, saw it was City Lord Lin Xian, and hurriedly wiped the corners of her eyes, trying not to look too disheveled.
Nevertheless, Chu Tianmang still saw her somewhat reddened eyes, it was apparent that the Liangkun Mountain Conference had been a huge blow to her, and she had seen the Devil-like frightful and ugly faces of certain powers.
âAre you okay?â Chu Tianmang jumped down from his Soul Pet and sat down next to Liu Binglan.
Liu Binglan didnât speak. Right now, she actually wanted to be alone to reflect, but she could see that the city master was concerned about her, so she didnât say anything.
If it had been someone else seeing Liu Binglanâs cold and silent demeanor, they probably would have been in an awkward dilemma not knowing what to say. Fortunately, Chu Tianmang knew that was just how she was, so he just sat beside her, talking whenever something came to mind, and staying silent when nothing did.
âThe Two Great Royal Families have been entangled in the Human Domain for countless years. Many Territories formed such a self-aggrandizing rule even before they were born. Apart from powers like the Divine Sect that can somewhat disregard the dignity of the Royal Families, all other forces have to adopt a compromising attitude because the Royals control too many Strong Ones,â Chu Tianmang said calmly.
âWhat would you do if such things happened in your Hecheng?â Liu Binglan finally spoke.
âMe?â This somewhat troubled Chu Tianmang because, to begin with, he hadnât been the City Lord of Hecheng for very long and didnât have much affection for this private territory.
âI would probably do the same as you. Itâs a pity that New Moon Land has no Leader Level strong presence. If it were like Hecheng and Humble City, with Leader Level Strong Ones as a deterrent, the Royal Families and those powers wouldnât dare to be so excessive,â Chu Tianmang commented.
Liu Binglan fell silent again.
In the cold wind atop the mountaintop, her mind felt clear one moment and chaotic the next.
She didnât know if her decision was right or wrong, nor did she know if her rash actions would lead the whole New Moon Land into a dead end.
She wondered if she should follow Yu Suoâs advice to temporarily yield and reclaim the power when she was strong enough.
But when would that be? The people of New Moon Land had long since scattered to the ends of the earth. How could she call them back and unite them again?
The Palaceâs Holy Land would also become a mess. Those bandits couldnât possibly maintain the Holy Land; they would only frantically loot and occupy.
âRest assured, no matter what you choose, I will do my best to help you.â Chu Tianmang patted Liu Binglanâs shoulder, speaking earnestly.
âThank you.â A hint of warmth rose in Liu Binglanâs heart, diminishing the sourness of her helplessness and isolation.
Liu Binglan noticed that City Lord Lin Xian had not shifted his eyes away from her, causing her a bit of discomfort. She hurriedly glanced away to avoid his gaze.
Chu Tianmangâs gaze still hadnât moved away. After all, she was his wife; seeing her cry made him feel awful too. He wanted to wrap his arms around her to provide some comfort, yet he felt it was inappropriate.
So many years had passed, and Chu Tianmang wasnât sure if she would acknowledge their status as husband and wife. Perhaps if she saw him, she might still harbor some unresolvable resentment.
Furthermore, Liu Binglan was already shouldering a heavy burden, and Chu Tianmang dared not add his own onto her. Fortunately, his identity as the City Lord of Lin Xian gave him a chance to get closer and help her somewhat.
Both sitting atop the mountain peak, they didnât talk much, their hearts preoccupied with the heavy burdens that made it hard to breathe. Occasionally, a few words exchanged between them offered a slight diversion from these emotionsâŠ
At a distance on the mountain top, two people were silently watching them.
A handsome man dressed in snowy garments, and a man with white temples.
Xiao Xueâang stood there, not moving forward for a long time.
He was too late. He knew that to reach the Cold Beautyâs heart, he needed to appear when she most required help. Unfortunately, he was too late. Another had followed Liu Binglan without hesitation the moment she stood up. Xiao Xueâang wanted to do the same, yet his slight hesitation led to his missed opportunity.
Observing the two sitting close together far away on the mountain top, Xiao Xueâang thought a lot.
However, what puzzled Xiao Xueâang was why Judge Xiao of the Hidden-Pupil Imperial Clan followed them and did so covertly, not wishing to be seen by anyone.
âDo you like her?â Judge Xiao asked Xiao Xueâang calmly.
âAffection,â replied Xiao Xueâang without evading the question.
Meeting Liu Binglan was purely coincidental. It happened at the Territory Office while Xiao Xueâang was personally resolving a territorial dispute.
That was when he saw her, as cold as snow, as calm as water, as beautiful as a flower. At that moment, Xiao Xueâang felt an indescribable draw towards such a woman.
Afterward, Xiao Xueâang would occasionally appear at the Territory Office.
Xiao Xueâang is the Chief Judge of the Divine Sect, one of the most respected Strong Ones among human leaders, and there are few in the Human Domain who can contend with him.
Itâs a shame, with undeniable authority in one realm, it signifies an enormous deficit in anotherâhe doesnât quite understand how to pursue someone. Just like earlier, he should have been the first to leave his seat after Liu Binglan got up, but he hesitated, thinking of his representation of the Divine Sect, his status as a Judge, and much moreâŠ
Some things should not be burdened with too many ties; they only serve to make what should be pure less perfect. In this regard, he somewhat admires City Lord Lin Xian, who thought nothing of the consequences when leaving his seat with Liu Binglan.
âWhy are you here then?â Judge Xiao looked at Taoâs Family Master, asking with confusion.
Gazing at the distant Liu Binglan, Taoâs Family Master sighed and said, âShe should not be in New Moon Land. She should be sitting where I am now, commanding others to make tough decisions, not being ordered around like she is now.â
Judge Xiao looked at Taoâs Family Master, filled with puzzlement.
After a long silence, Taoâs Family Master continued, âSheâs one of our Imperial Clan, youâve probably noticed her eyes.â
Judge Xiao paused in realization. Indeed, Liu Binglanâs eyes bore a striking resemblance to those of the Hidden-Pupil Imperial Clan. The first time he saw her, he thought she was a woman of the Imperial Clan.
âIs she your daughter?â asked Judge Xiao with a tone that held a hint of disbelief.
Elder Tao nodded slightly.
âYou and Lady Qin truly had an affair and bore a daughter?â Judge Xiao suddenly recalled a long-standing rumor about the Imperial Clan.
âYeah.â Taoâs Family Master nodded once again.
Taoâs Family Master trusted that Judge Xiao would not divulge this information. Besides, some secrets cannot be kept forever; eventually, they come to light.
âSo, Heavenly Palace does exist?â Judge Xiao said.
Looking at Xiao Xueâang, then back at the distant Liu Binglan, Taoâs Family Master finally nodded and said, âIt exists.â
It Exists!!!
These two simple words disclosed such an earth-shattering secret! Xiao Xueâang looked at Taoâs Family Master, his heart stirring up a great tumult.
The legendary Heavenly Palace exists!!
