498. Dark as if there is no daylight

```

Lu Yao brought with him 20 million tons of rice that cascaded downward, most of it falling onto the square in front of Chengtian Gate, forming a heap taller than even the Imperial City.

The part that scattered over the heads of the crowd only caused a minor commotion.

Seeing that the auspicious hour had arrived, Zhang Wenda led the ceremony onward to the next phase.

He stepped forward, took a deep breath, and bellowed:

[Silence!! Welcome His Majesty's entrance into the Forbidden City!!]

This roar was like a thunderclap on a clear day, creating visible sound waves that shot forth!

Fortunately, those near Chengtian Gate were martial artists of the Blood-Exchange Realm or higher, otherwise some would have been seriously injured.

The commoners who were collecting rice in the distance instantly snapped to attention.

The fear of top-tier martial artists, embedded in their genes through thousands of years, quelled their greed at this moment, and the scene quickly grew quiet.
