The Feng Zun Journey
Debates
After leaving the Light King's residence, Jiu Feng and Shun Jian's expressions were both grim.
"If His Majesty were here, there was no way he would let the King of Light act so outrageously!"
Jiu Feng said furiously.
Shun Jian's gaze was cold and calm, he said, “Given the difficulty of this situation, I cannot blame the Light King for putting the safety of the imperial family first. His only biggest mistake was daring to hold Zhuan Long.”
Jiu Feng's hands clenched, and his expression changed, he said, "If Feng Zun finds out about this matter, given his fearless disposition, he said, I was worried that he would use his sword and immediately go to Tianmang Mountain to kill him!"
Shun Jian was silent.
The two had long since witnessed Feng Zun's methods, and they understood what kind of person this young man was. He might look calm and simple, but in his heart, he was always confident and completely fearless.
For example, how powerful was the Shouyou Family? They were quite strong, even the Imperial Family had to be careful of them.
However, it was a fact that Feng Zun had never been afraid or cared about their identity at all!
Since entering the Nine Furnace City, Feng Zun had killed Huo Liandu of the Divine Sword Palace, Elder Lee Feng and Tinghai of the Azure Sect, Elder Changmin of the Hidden Sky Sect, and many more. And that was proof of how brave he was.
Those he killed all had incredible backgrounds. Moreover if Feng Zun was afraid of the consequences, how could he casually kill over ten demon descendants on the Eternal Lotus Island?
Given all those facts, if Feng Zun knew that the King of Light and the imperial family, had detained Zhuan Long for the sake of the ten ancient orthodoxies he had hurt, how could he possibly remain silent?
"Bringing his sword to Tianmang Mountain...?"
Shun Jian's eyelids twitched. Given Feng Zun's disposition, if they were to provoke him, he would definitely do such a thing.
“There's no way we can keep this a secret. We have to decide how we're gonna handle this fast."
Jiu Feng said worriedly.
When Feng Zun left Tianmang Mountain today, he had requested that Jiu Feng send Zhuan Long back to the Qinglong Courtyard.
This meant that even if he did not tell Feng Zun about what had happened, as time went on, Feng Zun would definitely sense that something was amiss!
"I'll go look for Her Highness the Princess,"
After that his eyes flashed, Shun Jian again said, “Half a month ago, before His Majesty the Emperor left, he visited him specifically. Moreover, his status was also extraordinary, everyone knew that the Emperor loved him very much. If he were to appear, he might be able to convince the King of Light not to do anything stupid.”
"Then let's hurry!" said Jiu Feng.
With that, he immediately left on the journey of the residence of Her Highness the Princess.
……
Tianmang Mountain Peak, a simple and elegant pavilion.
When he learned of the intent of Jiu Feng and Shun Jian's arrival, Long Qingyuan's bright eyes widened, "How dare the third elder be so insolent?"
"Your Majesty, this is not the time to be angry."
Jiu Feng immediately tried to calm him down, he again said, “First of all we have to consider how we are going to handle this, we really cannot let Fellow Daoist Feng misunderstand.”
Shun Jian could not be patient and he interjected, "Your Highness the Princess, when His Majesty the Emperor left, did he ... give you additional instructions?"
As he spoke, he got up and was about to leave.
Jiu Feng hurriedly said, "Your Highness Princess, what about Fellow Daoist Feng ..."
“I will visit him personally and talk about this. I really won't let him do anything stupid."
As Long Qingyuan said that, she waved her hand casually. He didn't see them when he said that.
Before long, the graceful figure of the woman disappeared from sight.
Jiu Feng and Shun Jian looked at each other.
They could not understand but smiled bitterly.
“I'm not sure if we should involve Her Highness the Princess or not. If His Majesty the Emperor finds out, I'm afraid he will reprimand us for our incompetence.”
Jiu Feng said in a sad tone.
“In my opinion, telling him to go see Feng Zun was a pretty good choice" Shun Jian said. “Don't forget, there's an incredible bond between them. Her Highness the Princess has forged a deep friendship with Miss Yin Ying since a long time ago, in the Han Dynasty.”
Jiu Feng was stunned for a moment, he finally recalled that Miss Yin Ying was a subordinate of Feng Zun's trust.
Furthermore he could not help but rethink the Eternal Lotus Competition, the moment it was right in front of the Emperor's nose and without any objections at all, Her Highness the Princess sat right beside Feng Zun. The two had spoken, and he had even poured wine for her.
……
Imperial palace.
It was already late at night, but the magnificent interior of the palace was being illuminated by the light of a lamp.
The highest middle seat was the throne belonging to Emperor Long the Great. No one dared to occupy him, not even Third Elder Long Liyuan.
Instead, he sat casually just below the supreme throne.
However, as he stared at the leading member of the imperial family seated before him, Long Liyuan felt an incomparable satisfaction.
Power and authority were within his grasp, and he alone was in charge of everything under the skies of the Long Dynasty. How many among the cultivators, who were not infatuated with power?
When he saw that the First Elder, Long Changhan, could now only sit below him, Long Liyuan could only sigh and say inwardly, "This is the influence of authority!"
However, before long, he furrowed his brows.
The palace hall was chaotic, and the internal debates continued unceasingly.
The members of the influential imperial family were divided into three different camps.
One of them was led by First Elder Long Changhan. They believed that the imperial family should respect the Emperor's will and continue to protect Feng Zun. They insisted that they could not give any concessions to those ancient factions.
The other camp was led by Second Elder Long Yunheng. They believed that this matter was too big and serious, because Feng Zun had caused his own problems. Thus, the Long Imperial Family had to protect itself. They did not want to interfere in the waters of this murky matter.
Then, there is the third camp, they do not break anything and are only neutral.
