A figure suddenly appeared in the center of the hall, the Purple Gold Python Robe moving without wind, surrounded by a dragon-shaped Qi Force that seemed both present and absent.
Southern Prince Nangong Tiance stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over everyone like lightning, and no one dared to meet his eyes.
Gu Sheng slightly cupped his hands in respect.
"Congratulations to the Prince on breaking through restrictions and entering a new realm."
"Congratulations to the Prince!"
Only then did everyone awaken from their daze, collectively offering their blessings, the sound so loud it made the pillars of the hall hum.
Southern Prince raised his hand in a gesture of support.
"Please rise, everyone."
His gaze lingered momentarily on Gu Sheng.
"Gu, may I have a word with you?"
Gu Sheng's lips curled slightly.
"It would be an honor."
The two left the hall, one after the other, passed through the corridor, and arrived at the secluded small courtyard.
