Proud Sword

A heavy drum beat sent away the last trace of the setting sun, which was like blood on the horizon. The blue sky seemed to be covered by a huge sky curtain and became dim. Night finally fell. In the middle of the huge square, which can accommodate 100,000 people, is a magnificent building with 999 steps. This is the Star Palace! The Star Palace stands high, reaching into the sky! The square around the Star Palace was densely packed with people kneeling on their knees. Everyone is ranked according to their rank, from inside to outside. The closer the people are to the Star Palace, the higher their rank. At the main entrance of the Star Palace above the 999th step, a middle-aged man with a solemn face and a majestic bearing was kneeling, wearing a crown and a rolling dragon yellow robe. It was Huangfu Haoran, the emperor of Cangqiong Kingdom. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious. Any similarity is purely coincidental and should not be imitated.
