The Journey of Feng Zun 2
Chapter 27
After knowing the path leading to the imperial palace, the middle-aged man clenched his fists and said, "Then, thank you very much."
With that, he went to bring the skinny donkey inside the capital.
It was drizzling, and fog hung in the air, but it did not diminish the prosperity of the Imperial Capital.
The long-robed middle-aged man appeared in teahouses and bars, constantly seeking information about the Great Zhou Empire.
By nightfall, the man had appeared not far from the imperial palace.
He patted the donkey gently and said, “Find a place to wait for me.”
The donkey nodded obediently and left.
Meanwhile, the middle-aged man walked confidently into the core region of the imperial palace.
There were many imperial guards guarding every part of the palace, but no one seemed to notice them.
He slipped easily right under their guard.
Meanwhile, Zhou Lingyun was drinking alone in the glittering and majestic hall.
He had become the emperor of Zhou the Great, and ruled his country and wielded vast authority, he had countless concubines, and citizens were envious but still respected him.
But he often felt alone.
"This is what they mean when they say, 'feeling lonely at the peak of power'."
“Isn't drinking alone boring? How about I accompany you?” a soft voice sounded.
Zhou Lingyun was startled and he suddenly raised his head.
He wasn't sure when he got there, but a middle-aged man in long robes, with graying hair was now standing in the hall.
“Master, may I ask who you are?” Zhou Lingyun got up, his eyes flashing.
Whoever this person was, he had appeared in the forbidden courtyard of the imperial palace secretly, leaving no trace in the middle of the night.
He was undoubtedly a high-level expert!
“Don't be nervous, I'm just here to talk to you about Feng Zun.”
The long-robed middle-aged man said calmly, as he spoke, he had already entered the large hall.
He casually sat beside one of the small tables, picked up a bottle of wine, smiled, and said, “It doesn't matter no, if I'm a little disrespectful.”
After which, he sat down comfortably and took a sip of his drink.
“Feng Zun?”
Zhou Lingyun's brows furrowed, “Do you want revenge?”
The middle-aged man shook his head, “No, I was just looking for relatives.”
“Searching relatives?”
Zhou Lingyun asked puzzledly, “To my knowledge, Brother Feng has a mysterious origin, could it be that you are a member of his family?”
The middle-aged man shook his head, “This has nothing to do with you, so please don't ask about unnecessary things. All you need to know is that I have no ill intentions to him.”
Zhou Lingyun quietly returned to her seat, “Then.... what do you want to know?”
The middle-aged man thought about it, then said, “You are Emperor Zhou Great, and you and Feng Zun have interacted before. Tell me what you know about him.”
Zhou Lingyun let out a sigh of relief in his heart.
Previously he had thought that the middle-aged man was eyeing Feng Zun.
So, he just wanted to hear a story about her!
Zhou Lingyun thought for a moment, then again said, “The story is long, me and brother Feng first became acquainted at the Sky Mansion, in the Capital of the Han Dynasty.”.
Every single one of those words flowed out of her, as she described everything that happened that year, inevitably she became a little emotional.
The middle-aged man smiled and listened to everything attentively. From time to time, he raised his wine gourd, and the two of them shared a drink.
As soon as he heard about all of Feng Zun's legendary achievements and experiences in the Great Zhou and Han Empire, the middle-aged man put away his wine gourd and said, "Thank you very much, now I'll go.”
With that, he turned around and left.
"Sorry for my rudeness, but are you planning on looking for Feng Zun?" Zhou Lingyun hurried to his feet.
"That's right, I came to this Luo Mainland to visit family.”
Even before his voice finished echoing in the air, the long-robed middle-aged man disappeared without a trace.
Zhou Lingyun was stunned, a moment later, he suddenly realized something.
That long-robed middle-aged man must have come from another world!
"Rumors say that Feng Zun has a mysterious origin, and most likely he is from another world, could it be that the middle-aged man is one of his relatives?"
When this occurred to Emperor Zhou Lingyun, his heart trembled.
...
Late the same night, in the wilderness of the mountains.
Yu Honghuan and Yu Huai were setting up a formation. Yu Xiurong, Ah Leng, and Ruo Yuan watched and waited from afar.
“Auntie, unless I am wrong, when we return and the clan elders find out that we lost the mysterious Evil Metal Pumpkin, they will definitely punish us.” Ruo Yuan sighed.
The mysterious Evil Metal Pumpkin was a treasure that their clan passed down from generation to generation, and it was extraordinarily powerful.
Although that thing was not an Immortal God-level treasure, it could threaten the lives of Immortal Ascension cultivators!
“If they punish us, then I will take full responsibility for what happened.”
Yu Xiurong could only sigh, “That really pisses me off is, the hundred year ceremonial curtain of the clan will be opened in just six months time, if Qingyuan cannot participate, she said, she is no longer qualified to be a holy girl.”.
Ruo Yuan's eyes sparkled, “Aunt, you don't worry, this Luo Mainland will soon welcome the unprecedented Radiant Age. When we return and share this news with the clan, I am sure the old men will be delighted and tempted. When that time comes, we can borrow their powers to reclaim the mysterious Evil Metal Pumpkin, as well as bring Qingyuan's sister back to the clan with us.”
Yu Xiurong nodded, “That is the only last step left.”
“Xiurong, we can go now. All we have to do is circulate this formation, and we can connect with the clan transmission formation. The power of the Purple Moon God Teapot will guide our departure.” Yu Honghuan's voice sounded from afar.
A complex and perfect array of mysterious formations lay before them.
“Alright, let's go back!”
Yu Xiurong did not hesitate, he led Ah Leng and Ruo Yuan straight into it.
Bang out!
A moment later, the light pillar that emerged from the formation surged into the horizon, carving out a huge space crack in the sky.
Waves of spatial strength spread deep within the space crack, but before long, a half-foot-tall purple teapot appeared, glittering like moonlight.
The teapot was wrapped in a terrifying supreme aura, and firmly suppressed the uncontrollable fluctuations of spatial strength.
Purple Moon God Teapot!
This was the supreme treasure of the Purple Moon Fox, an Immortal God level artifact!
When Yu Xiurong and his friends saw him, they rushed towards him. Shortly after, they disappeared into the deep space gap.
Immediately after, the Purple Moon God Teapot flew around them, and that huge space crack vanished from the void in the sky.
