The Feng Zun Journey
The visit of Emperor Long
“Daoist colleague, that man came here because of me. If that's possible, can you allow me to take care of it?”
The plain-clothed Great Emperor Long appeared along with the sound of that sigh, pushing the door open and entering the courtyard.
When he arrived before Feng Zun, he tilted his head to greet him.
Feng Zun remained seated on his woven chair, motionless.
Then he said casually,
“Indeed, this is a family matter for you. So you are naturally the most suitable person to complete it.”
“Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist.” Emperor Long felt as if a heavy weight was lifted off his shoulders.
Given the temperament that Feng Zun possessed, if he was determined to kill Yu Huai, then the emperor would not be able to do anything about it.
Fortunately, Feng Zun was still willing to let go.
At that very instant, the previously kneeling and empty-eyed Yu Huai shuddered in horror, as he regained his consciousness.
He got up to his feet, and as he looked towards Feng Zun who was lying down, his face was full of astonishment and fear.
“Go back and tell Yu Xiurong not to do anything inappropriate anymore. If he has a problem, he should bring the matter to me.” Emperor Long said coldly.
Yu Huai's expression was fickle, but in the end, he said nothing, he just turned around and left.
The day was starting to light up, and the night was slowly beginning to set.
After watching Yu Huai disappear from sight, Emperor Long smiled bitterly, “Daoist Dean, please do not take offense. I didn't expect Yu Xiurong's subordinates to be so ignorant of themselves.”
Feng Zun looked at the emperor from top to bottom, then said, “I know that you are in a bad state lately.”
Compared to a few months ago, there was a gloom that could not be hidden regarding the emperor. He did not possess the elegance and calmness like before.
His words aroused many emotions, and the emperor could only sigh, “We are being surrounded by powerful enemies, and the current of darkness is just below the surface. Even Yu Xiurong came knocking on my door, he wished he could take Qingyuan from me. I'm not going to lie to you, Fellow Daoist, over the years of cultivating, I've never encountered such a difficulty before. It's no exaggeration to mention that I'm now like an ant in a hot frying pan.”
His tone was gloomy and helpless.
He was the Great Long Emperor, in the past, he was the only ruler in the entire region of the Central Continent. No one dared to treat him with disrespect.
Yet when heaven and earth changed, and when the spiritual energy in the surroundings recovered, everything seemed to fall apart. In just a few months, the balance of power had changed completely.
The imperial family was now suppressed by all sides, and they fell into a dangerous situation.
This exerted unprecedented pressure on Emperor Long!
“Then what is your plan?” asked Feng Zun.
Emperor Long's expression calmed down, and he explained the plan he had prepared, “Right now, my only hope is to borrow your hand, to refine the Great Formation of the Nine Divine Furnaces as quickly as possible. Then, I can intimidate our external enemies, and prevent them from making a light attack."
“If we can survive until the start of the Radiant Age, we might lose control of this continent, but with the accumulation we have, we may lose control of it, we can still control a territory large enough and stand upright forever.”
“I am of course aware that this is not a long-term solution.” Emperor Long said with a sigh and looked helpless, “But in the current situation of the Imperial Family, there is nothing else we can rely on. Only the Great Formation of the Nine Furnaces is the only hope, which can neutralize the imminent crisis of the imperial family.”
Feng Zun knew that Emperor Long was truly desperate, otherwise, he would not have seen the formation as his last hope.
It was as if he was on the edge of a horn.
Feng Zun thought for a moment, then said, “I once agreed to help you refine the formation, and of course I will not retract my words. However, you should understand that this turned out to be a grand formation of the Immortal God level. With my ability, I can't return it to its original peak.”
Under the taboo strength of the Darkness Ancient Guard Energy, Feng Zun naturally could not exert his maximum ability.
Hearing that, Emperor Long's eyes sparkled, “As long as we can intimidate enemies from outside, that's enough!”
Feng Zun nodded, “That's actually easy to do.”
Emperor Long took a deep breath, then bowed, “Daoist Dean, I, Long Yujin, thank you on behalf of the entire Long.” Imperial Family
Feng Zun ignored his gratitude, “This is just a trivial matter, there is no need for you to give such courtesy. Even without that formation, when you run into trouble, I won't stay still either.”
When speaking up to here, Feng Zun smiled, “After all, these are only a handful of small, insignificant ancient factions. As long as I am in the Nine Furnace City, I guarantee that they will not be able to cause any waves.”
His tone was relaxed, as if he was talking about an ordinary trivial matter.
Emperor Long was stunned.
A small ancient faction? It would be amazing if they were truly meaningless…
He breathed on himself.
However, the Emperor was well aware that this was only the personality of Feng Zun.
It seemed that even if the sky collapsed, he considered it a trivial matter that was not even worth mentioning.
“By the way, after I solve your problem, there is something I want to ask you.” said Feng Zun.
Emperor Long did not even pause to think, “Daoist Dean, please just talk about it directly. As long as it is still within my capabilities, I will definitely never refuse.”
Feng Zun thought for a moment, “Let's talk about it later.”
He originally planned to entrust Daoist Haoran and Tianba to Emperor Long.
He wanted them to cultivate in Tianmang Mountain.
But of course he had to first ask for permission and ask if they were willing.
“That's no problem.” Emperor Long nodded.
They chatted for quite a while until Feng Zun was finally unable to hold back any longer, “Are you going to let Long Qingyuan go with her mother?”
“I will never allow it!” Emperor Long shook his head, and he spoke with firm conviction.
