The Feng Zun Journey
Excessive Request
Meanwhile at Tianmang Mountain.
The Light King's Residence, Long Liyuan.
The Third Elder and all the important members within the imperial family had been present.
“Everything, when Feng Zun arrives here, make sure everyone to be polite. After all, His Majesty cares deeply about the boy, and his strength is completely heaven-defying. We can't be negligent in terms of etiquette. ”
Long Liyuan said slowly from his elevated chair in the middle of the room.
He looked healthy, warm, and vibrant, with bright eyes, his robe was embroidered with dragon motifs, and had a calm and authoritative disposition.
There were five other prominent imperial family members present, they were the vassals of the stronghold of Second Elder Long Yunheng.
When they heard the words of warning from Long Liyuan, they all seemed to nod. But in truth, they did not take heart at all of the warning.
To them, what if the boy was so strong? Even if Feng Zun's talent was much more heaven-defying, there were now more than ten ancient factions that had been eyeing him. He would definitely not be able to be arrogant any longer!
He was about to die, so what was the need to concern himself with and be polite to the would-be corpse?
As he saw this, Long Liyuan's eyes flashed, he said “One more, I have sent someone to inform the ancient orthodoxy's envoy, and they are already on their way. The moment Feng Zun arrived, I planned to announce the attitude of the imperial family in front of all of them, directly.”
Someone inevitably asked, "Third Chief, isn't there still two days, are we going to announce it today?"
Long Liyuan frowned then said,
"How can we delay such an important matter?"
He said calmly, “Everything, you saw him last night. Some members of the imperial family were against this decision I took. Therefore, delay would only cause other problems. To prevent it, we better finish it immediately.”
The characters nodded.
The storm that Feng Zun caused was indeed getting more intense, and more and more citizens of the Nine Furnace City were paying attention.
Given the situation, it would be best for them to be faster to get rid of the storm, from the imperial family than to have to put it off.
Someone announced from outside the hall, "Third Elder, Her Highness the Princess, Long Qingyuan, has arrived."
"Let him enter," Long Liyuan said casually.
Shortly after, a beautiful woman in a dark green dress came in.
Long Qingyuan smiled and said, "Third Chief, I'm here just to watch the show, assuming if you don't mind."
Long Liyuan laughed and said, “How could I mind? You can find a place and sit quietly, Your Highness the Princess."
Long Qingyuan nodded, then found a relatively distant seat. Her bright eyes evaluated the other members of the imperial family present.
He muttered to himself, These are the people Brother Feng called 'toxic tumors.'
Before long, several guards announced the arrival of envoys from the various ancient factions.
"Please get through here!" Long Liyuan greeted them and said in a low voice.
Before long, a dozen people entered the hall one after another. There were both men and women, and all of them had the attitude of outstanding cultivators. Among them, without exception all of the weakest were in the Immortal Realm.
His name was Shouyou Tianhe, and he was the elder of the Shouyou Demon Clan.
As soon as he arrived, he scanned the hall and frowned, then said, “Brother Liyuan, didn't you say that Feng Zun will come today at dawn?”
Long Qingyuan got up with a smile, “Daoist Dean Tianhe, for now please be patient and sit down."
Seeing that the one speaking was Long Qingyuan, Shouyou Tianhe could not say much, "Alright, we will wait now."
Shouyou Tianhe waved his hand, he led all the messengers of the ancient faction and went inside.
Moments later, everyone had taken their seats.
Just by watching this scene, Long Qingyuan felt uneasy. Isn't this old fart too impudent?
Even more annoying, Long Liyuan actually greeted them directly with a friendly smile!
“Brother Liyuan, we have all had an understanding of the attitude the imperial family took. I must say, that you have made the most rational choice.”
Shouyu Tianhe again said slowly, with a stifled smile on his face. “When Feng Zun arrives, there is a request we would like to ask you. But it is a presumptuous request, but we hope you will agree.
Long Liyuan smiled. "There's no harm in asking."
"We hope to borrow the strength of the Nine Furnace Great Formation, belonging to the imperial family to suppress Feng Zun."
"What!?"
Long Liyuan and the other imperial family top brass all immediately reacted to this statement.
Long Qingyuan's brows quietly narrowed, and she was furious in her heart, Bastard! You actually dare to set your sights, on our clan's core defense formation?
"Wait and see, if Brother Feng doesn't kill you, then you should die in my hands for this!" long Qingyuan said inwardly.
Shouyu Tianhe smiled faintly, then continued, “Of course, we only plan to borrow it. After we are done dealing with Feng Zun, we will naturally compensate the imperial family greatly.
Long Liyuan's expression was filled with uncertainty. “Brother Tianhe, I only promise that the imperial family will keep his neutrality. If I agree to your request, what's the difference with being directly involved?"
He continued, "In addition to my position and authority is only temporary, if His Majesty the Emperor returns, I fear that it will affect his confidence in me."
Shouyou Tianhe's brows furrowed and said, “Brother Liyuan, as long as you agree, the representatives of the thirteen factions present here will never forget the kindness of the imperial family. This can only benefit the Long Family, it will not harm you in any way."
“However, if you refuse, then of course you will greatly disappoint us. I hope you consider this carefully!”
His words contained a slight implied threat.
The envoys from the other ancient factions all looked at Long Liyuan.
Facing this invisible pressure, Long Liyuan's expression changed repeatedly, and he fell silent.
Not far away, Long Qingyuan sighed to herself. This is what happens to those who do not have a backbone!
An unworthy leader, when he shows weakness, they will start to wait for more.
There was no doubt that they would further trample on his pride!
