The Feng Zun Journey
Visiting Tianmang Mountain
This was the first thing Jiu Feng realized.
Feng Zun might seem unconcerned with worldly affairs, but in truth, his pride was very deep.
Even if the sky collapsed and the earth sank, even if the entire world were to oppose it, he would not worry in the slightest.
However, threatening the safety of those around him was like plucking out the scales of a dragon!
No matter who it is. Even if he was a god, Feng Zun would slash his sword without the slightest hesitation.
The heavy and oppressive atmosphere made Long Qingyuan's hair stand on end. "Brother Feng, the situation is too chaotic that there is no room to turn things around."
Feng Zun nodded then said, “If Long Liyuan doesn't want to get involved, maybe I can still understand. But why is he doing this?”
Long Qingyuan said grimly, "He told the ancient faction that before the imperial family made clear his attitude, they won't let you leave the Nine Furnace City without permission."
"It can't be called 'maintaining a neutral position'," Feng Zun said. “It doesn't matter if they want to press or ignore me completely. But he will pay for what he has done this.”
He spoke casually, but his icy-cold-looking calmness was enough to make people shudder.
Long Qingyuan hesitated for a moment and said, “Brother Feng, actually.. Before my sister left half a month ago, she left something just in case. However I guess he also would not have expected that the Third Elder would act so quickly. ”.
Feng Zun said as he thought, "Did Emperor Long leave on purpose?"
Long Qingyuan nodded, “She said that although the Radiant Age has not truly befallen us, the world is showing signs of increasing upheaval. If the Long Imperial Family wants to continue, there is something he must do.”
Feng Zun seemed to be guessing something, and his eyebrows shot up. "Cleaning poison from his bones?"
Long Qingyuan was stunned. He exclaimed, "Brother Feng, have you guessed it?"
“To fight against the outside world, one must first secure what is within his clan. If a great power wants to stand firm in a drastic world change, then they must eradicate internal tumors first.”
Feng Zun said casually,
“In ordinary circumstances, this 'tumor' appears harmless. But once they are under pressure, these tumors will be agitated. Some will collude with the enemy and help them from within. Others will take every opportunity to seize power, while others are so helpless that they will escape at the first sign of pressure.”.
Feng Zun stopped here. He could not help but lament, "All through history, many peak orthodoxies have fallen, not because their opponents were too strong, but because of the 'tumors' within their own ranks!"
Long Qingyuan said with great agreement, "When we were teenagers, our father always said the same thing."
He stopped here, then continued, “In addition, my sister said with certainty that as long as she was not around, when the expedition on the Eternal Lotus Island ended, my sister said with certainty, the malignant tumor would not be able to resist jumping out. However, I believe that even my sister would not have expected that the Third Elder would take action too soon.
With an incomprehensible expression on his face, Feng Zun said “Emperor Long earlier must have been convinced that, with my temperament, it was, I will definitely kill some of those demon descendants from the ancient times on the Eternal Lotus Island, so that it will cause a storm. So.. He deliberately used me to test the Imperial Family."
Long Qingyuan's heart trembled, and she hurriedly said, "Brother Feng, there's no way my sister meant that!"
Feng Zun said, “I am naturally very aware that it was not his intention. He only took advantage of the storm to rid the imperial family of his dung.”
Long Qingyuan instantly relaxed a little. He then took out a sealed letter and gave it to Feng Zun. “Brother Feng, he gave me this before his departure. He instructed me to give this to you, if this incident doesn't please you."
Feng Zun unrolled the scroll, and discovered that there was only one sentence written in it: "The Long Imperial Family will forever support Daoist Fellow Feng Zun!"
The sweep was thick and strong, and ink penetrated the page.
Feng Zun's brows shifted, and he kept the letter. “Emperor Long has his own plans, but since I have been dragged into this matter.
“Didn't Long Liyuan invite me tomorrow? Then I'll go see him."
Feng Zun said casually.
Long Qingyuan stood there in bewilderment for a while. Suddenly, he blinked, then grinned like a fox, "Then, I will definitely show up and watch the exciting show tomorrow."
"Since the beginning you've suspected this, haven't you?"
Feng Zun glanced at the cunning and beautiful woman.
This woman was the best friend of Yin Ying, as well as the ancestor of the Long Clan. How could the opinion of an ancestor, not be heard by part of his clan?
Naturally Feng Zun realized that, this woman had indeed deliberately not interfered in order for him to watch the show.
Long Qingyuan giggled, “I just thought about it when I was on my way here. What will Brother Feng do when he finds out about this matter? I think, with your temperament, then you can't possibly just hang on in silence."
"Then, was your previous concern just mere acting?" the Goda Feng Zun
Long Qingyuan shook her head. “No, actually my only concern is, that you will misunderstand about my sister. That's the reason I came here tonight.”
Feng Zun smiled but did not say anything.
……
The second day of the eleventh lunar month.
Early in the morning, the cold was as sharp as a knife. A bone-chilling coldness floated in the air.
Feng Zun got up early in the morning, practiced some of his techniques, took a bath, and ate, as usual.
“I will go to Tianmang Mountain to visit. I'll be right back.”
Feng Zun said as he walked out of the Qinglong Courtyard.
"Sister Feng, what are you going there for?" Han Mei asked curiously.
"I'll pick Zhuan Long back up."
Feng Zun said, "Don't forget to prepare some food and drinks for lunch, to welcome us back. As he spoke, he had already left the courtyard.
"All right." Han Mei immediately agreed.
Not far away Shuoxue asked puzzledly, "Sister Han Mei, why does it seem like something is amiss here?"
Han Mei's gaze was as calm as the pool water, she said, "Do you think Big Brother Feng will face danger?"
"Of course not" Shuoxue said without much thought.
“Then naturally there is no need to worry about that." said Han Mei.
Shuoxue could not argue with him.
