Chosen Man
Too Late a Step
We better do it now and kill Feng Zun!
Everyone's expression looks different.
Some disagreed but many also nodded.
One would argue, "This unrivalled duel over Lake Whuyun would definitely cause too much upheaval...
"Even if we don't, the great powers entrenched in the city are destined to take immediate action."
Someone again responded with a grim face, "But this brat has just experienced a great battle, and the energy he consumes should be great as well, and his ace card has also been displayed, too, this is the best moment to kill him, If we miss it .. I'm worried that we won't be able to find such an opportunity again in the future."
When this comment came out, many people hesitated.
Huo Mingyuan, the patriarch of the Huo Clan, was thinking hard.
But suddenly...
An old voice rang out, "It's best that this matter stop here tonight."
Accompanied by the sound, a figure swept away in the distance, he wore a black round hat and held a black stick in his hand. Although his face was old, his figure was still very dignified.
When he saw this person appear, Huo Mingyuan's face greatly changed and said, "Old Shun Lao, why are you here?"
Those big figures of the Huo Clan were also shocked.
They naturally recognized the ruler of the Cloud Dragon Pavilion, who was referred to as this Illusory King.
Merely, they did not understand how the noble identities of the other party would interfere, and their hideouts were also discovered as soon as the battle ended.
Old Shun Lao!
Yiu Funghe and Nie Tingshan from Divine Sword Palace, two characters in the late mortal stage, also had their eyes fixed on him.
Although they were not from the Nine Furnace City, how could they not know how noble the status of this Shun Lao was?
Shun Lao Tua said with an expression as calm as water, "The purpose of this old man's visit is clear. For the matter that happened tonight, I asked Patriarch Huo to stop getting here."
Huo Mingyuan frowned, her face ugly, and said, "Shui Lao, my father died here tonight, but now you're telling me to stop, this .. isn't this a little inhuman?"
Those people from the Huo Clan were also very uncomfortable.
Yiu Funghe asked, "Shui Lao, is your arrival this time to defend Feng Zun?"
Shun Lao shook his head and said, "This old man is here on orders."
"On command?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked.
Shun Lao's position in the Nine Furnace City was extremely noble, so who could rule an existence like Shun Lao?
Huo Mingyuan took a deep breath and said, "Let me ask, who ordered Lord Shun Lao to come here?"
Shun Lao said calmly, "The Imperial Palace."
The two words were light yet fluttering, making Huo Mingyuan's pupils shrink and his body freeze.
Looking at the others, they were all dumbfounded as well, as if in disbelief.
"This is my last message, next to your own that will decide to quit or still have the courage to pursue it."
After saying that, Shun Lao turned around and left just like that.
"Empire Palace? There are too many big people in the palace, and who wants to make trouble with our Huo Clan?"
Some were confused and some had grim faces.
As one of the main clans in the Long Dynasty, the Huo Clan had been able to stand up to this day, and its background was naturally extraordinary.
The Imperial Family though would generally not dare to offend them so easily.
"Who do you think in the palace can rule someone like Shun Lao? And who dares to ignore the anger of our Huo Clan and let Shun Lao come to stop us?"
Huo Mingyuan sighed, her originally enraged gaze, now turning grim and becoming depressed and lost.
Huhai!
"Let's go, let's go back, that's all for tonight."
Huo Mingyuan turned around, looking sad and lonely.
This time, the Huo Clan made a huge mistake!
"Sister, what should we do?"
Nie Tingshan looked at Yiu Funghe.
Yiu Funghe's eyes looked blank, "Even the Long Imperial family has intervened, and such important matters must be decided by the Sect Master."
That night, the two great elders of the late mortal realm had rushed to return to the Divine Sword Palace.
…
Lake Whuyun is getting very crowded tonight.
It was unknown how many cultivators had come to try to find out.
When they heard the news of Huo Liandu's fall, they were extremely shocked.
"A golden white-robed young man killed an immortal senior, Huo Liandu?"
But when he found out that the person who killed Huo Liandu was a golden-white-robed young man, Shuoxue was stunned, and Feng Zun's figure could not help but appear in his mind.
"Could it be Big Brother Feng.?"
His heart trembled when he heard his heartbeat beating fast.
"The Great Elder really died..."
On one side, the beautiful and delicate white face of the Sword Queen sank slightly.
Huo Liandu, the grand elder of the inner court of the Divine Sword Palace, who was at the middle stage of the immortal, was able to be killed, What kind of terrifying Taoism must he have in order to kill him?
"We.last a step..."
The Sword Queen, Tang Shizu, sighed.
He and Shuoxue came to the Nine Furnace City this time having two personal missions, first, to look at Feng Zun with her own eyes, and see if this young man was as strong as Shuoxue had said.
The second was that they would interfere in the dispute between Feng Zun and Huo Liandu, and try to prevent this dispute from happening.
But who would have thought Huo Liandu would die before he and Shuoxue could actually act!
"Teacher, I've said before that in order to become Daoist Feng's enemy, then that person would be destined to pay a heavy price."
Shuoxue whispered, she had no other feelings about Huo Liandu's death except shock.
"Are you suspicious that it was Feng Zun who had killed the Great Elder?"
Tang Shizu's beautiful eyes widened, and then she shook her head, "That's impossible, a young man in the mortal realm, how could he be the opponent of the intermediate immortal realm?"
Shuoxue could not help but say, "According to what the witnesses said in the battle, the person fighting against the Great Elder was indeed a white-robed, immortal youth, that was very consistent with the image that Daoist Feng always displayed."
"Xue'er, this is not the time to daydream.”
He clearly doesn't believe.
Shuoxue was also actually still hesitating.
Indeed, if Feng Zun could kill cultivators at the early stages of the immortal, he probably would never doubt it.
But Huo Liandu was different. He was at the middle stage of the Immortal Realm and was about to step into the realm of perfection of the immortal pinnacle.
Even with the facts he got from the witnesses, Shuoxue was still unable to ascertain whether Feng Zun could become his opponent, let alone kill Grand Elder Huo Liandu.
After thinking about it for a while, Shuoxue said seriously: "Teacher, when we find Daoist Feng, surely we will soon know the answer."
Tang Shizu nodded and said, "Alright, even if this matter isn't what Feng Zun did, I'm afraid it still has something to do with him. After all, the grand elder's goal to come to the Nine Furnace City this time was just to deal with Feng Zun."
