Chapter 32: The Shadow Guards The grand coronation ceremony, a momentous event for the entire world, proceeded as scheduled. Under the gaze of the masses, Duan Feng ascended step by step to the imperial throne that had always been his. “It feels so good to reclaim what is rightfully mine!” Although Duan Feng’s power had long surpassed that of every cultivator in the entire Tianjian Dynasty, at the moment of his coronation, his heart was still a whirlwind of emotions, a veritable potpourri of feelings. For this was his way of fulfilling the late emperor’s expectations of him. At the same time, the moment he ascended the throne, he felt the weight of responsibility on his shoulders. As the emperor of a nation, his primary duty was to protect the dynasty’s subjects from oppression by outsiders. This also meant that Duan Feng could no longer come and go as he pleased, as he had in the past... Of course, with Duan Feng’s vision and insight, transforming the Sky Sword Dynasty into a powerful nation was by no means a difficult task. As long as there are capable successors, Duan Feng could also set his sights on higher realms. The Sky Sword Dynasty was too small; even as emperor, it was not his final destination, nor was reaching the pinnacle of the Soul Sword Continent. Only the vast and wondrous Multiverse—that was his ultimate goal. The Master of Ceremonies began to read the proclamation of accession, and then Duan Feng took the imperial seal. The series of procedures was quite complicated, leaving Duan Feng feeling a bit overwhelmed. Nevertheless, he followed every step to the letter. Once all the procedures were completed, Duan Feng was officially appointed as the new emperor of the Heavenly Sword Dynasty. “We pay our respects to His Majesty! Long live the Emperor! The moment Duan Feng ascended the imperial throne, the crowd’s cries of homage once again thundered in his ears. “Rise, my lords.” Duan Feng waved his hand, mimicking the emperors he had seen in the palace intrigue dramas he watched as a child. To be honest, he actually pulled it off quite convincingly. With the ceremony concluded, the nation celebrated together, and a banquet was held. The grand hall was filled with singing and dancing, creating a lively atmosphere. Many of the princes and ministers came to curry favor with Duan Feng, offering him toasts one after another. There were even quite a few strikingly beautiful concubines who threw themselves at him, hoping to win Duan Feng’s favor. Although Duan Feng had had a few drinks and felt a bit tipsy, he remained on guard against the schemes of certain individuals. After all, having been tricked once, he was absolutely determined not to fall for it a second time. Duan Feng paid no attention to the imperial concubines who threw themselves at him, continuing to drink on his own. The banquet came to an end. Duan Feng returned to his own palace. The next day, a list appeared in Duan Feng’s hands. “Kill them all. Leave not a single one alive.” Duan Feng spoke in a low voice to a Shadow Guard standing before him. “Yes, Your Majesty!” Taking the list, the Shadow Guard nodded and vanished immediately. The Shadow Guards were the most mysterious assassination unit of the Heavenly Sword Dynasty, known to very few. Comprising a total of seven members, each possessed strength surpassing that of a Sword King. This unit served as the most formidable bodyguards for emperors throughout history, as elusive as a dragon—seen only in fleeting glimpses. They answer to no one; only the Emperor has the authority to command them. Duan Langtian was desperate to become Emperor, and the Shadow Guards were one of his primary targets. One day later, numerous princes, ministers, and noble consorts met untimely deaths. No one knew who was responsible, and there were no witnesses. It all happened so suddenly; it was all so unbelievable. However, if one connects the dots between these victims, a common thread emerges. That is, they had all worked under Duan Langtian at some point. (Transitional chapters are a bit tricky to write.
