"Yes." After saying that, Feng Sha left the Cold Kill Temple.
The Imperial Palace, the Crown Prince's study.
Tian Xing said to Yu Tianxiang,"Your Highness, I think this must be a huge conspiracy. You must not go to the Heaven Dream City."”
"Why do you say that?" Yu Tianxiang asked in confusion.
" Think about it," Tian Xing said." Why did they organize a gathering of the heirs of the four great families at this time? And they even specifically asked you to go. If Your Highness went, they could completely control you."”
Yu Tianxiang said," Tianxing, I've thought about what you said, but it's impossible for me not to go in the current situation. If I don't go, they will say that I, the Crown Prince, care too much about my face. They really colluded in secret, and we can't do anything about it. This time, I'm going to see their strength clearly, and I'm going out to relax. I've already decided that when the time comes, you just bring a few experts with me. I'll talk to my father."”
" But…" Tian Xing still felt that something was wrong.
"No buts. That's it. We'll set off tomorrow morning.”Yu Tianxiang ordered.
Yu Tianxiang came to the emperor's study. The emperor, Yu Linshan, was dealing with the things around him. When he saw his son walking over, he asked,"Tianxiang, why do you have time to come here today?”He looked to be in his fifties and wore a golden dragon robe. His appearance was dignified, and he vaguely revealed the domineering aura of a king.
Yu Tianxiang bowed to Yu Linshan and said,"Father, I am preparing to head to the Heavenly Dream City tomorrow to attend the gathering of the heirs of the four worlds.”
Yu Linshan put down what he was doing and raised his head. He said solemnly,"Think carefully."
Yu Tianxiang replied,"I've already thought it through. Even if it's a trap, I have to jump down."”
Yu Linshan smiled." You're my son indeed. You're brave. Don't worry, they won't do anything to you. When the time comes, bring a few more experts from the palace."”At this point, he paused and continued,"When the time comes, let Sherri go. She's the only heir. When the two of you get together, even if the three aristocratic families join forces, we have nothing to worry about.”
"I know that." Yu Tianxiang said.
"Yes!" Yu Linshan thought for a moment and said,"Tianxiang, when is your marriage with Sherri?"”
" This..." It was not that Yu Tianxiang did not want to do it, but he promised to give Xu Wanqing a year to forget Duan Chenfeng. During this period of time, he would not do anything excessive to Xu Wanqing. How could they do it at this time? Looking at his father, he really did not know how to answer.
Yu Tianxiang looked at his son's troubled expression and asked in confusion,"What's wrong? Is Sherri unwilling?”
"No, Father, I just think that it might be a little too early to get married now. Can we talk about it later?”Yu Tianxiang said.
Yu Linshan shook his head and said," No. Let's settle your marriage first. If the three aristocratic families really work together, they won't dare to act rashly against us. I'll announce it to the world tomorrow and set your marriage. We'll hold the wedding on an auspicious day."”
Since his father had said so, Yu Tianxiang had no choice but to nod and say,"Yes."
The next day, Duan Chenfeng woke up from his coma. The moment he opened his eyes, he saw Xiao Ting standing in front of him. A faint fragrance entered his nose, and he asked in surprise,"Why am I here?"
"You were unconscious here yesterday, so I helped you to my bed."”They were so close to each other that they could even hear each other's heartbeats. Seeing Xiao Ting's helpless expression, Duan Chenfeng's heart suddenly softened. Wasn't it too cruel to reject a girl so directly? Perhaps it was not wrong to love someone, but to love the wrong person.
Duan Chenfeng nodded and smiled at Xiao Ting before saying,"I've already recovered some of my elemental energy, so I don't need to lie here anymore.”
Seeing Duan Chenfeng insist on taking the small bed, Xiao Ting said in disappointment,""Alright then!" As she spoke, she stood to the side. Lan Lan watched them from the side. She only smiled in her heart and did not say anything.
Just as Duan Chenfeng got off the bed, Windkill hurriedly walked in and said to Xiao Ting,""Not good, your mother has sent a message to tell you to go back quickly. Now, you should go back with your Aunt Xiao Ruo!”
"Aunt Xiao Ruo is here too. Where is she?" Xiao Ting asked.”
"Why? I want to see who made our Tingting reluctant to go back.”Little Ruo's voice rang out. Then, a woman in a green dress walked in.
When Duan Chenfeng saw the woman walking in, he felt a sense of familiarity as if he had seen her somewhere before. He suddenly thought of something and asked in surprise,"It's you."
Duan Chenfeng finally remembered who this woman was. She was the woman who appeared behind him when he first met Feng Sha. After not seeing her for a few years, Little Ruo's appearance hadn't changed much, so Duan Chenfeng recognized her immediately.
At this moment, Little Ruo also sized up Duan Chenfeng who was beside Xiao Ting. Eight years ago, they had only met once and had never spoken a single word. She didn't even notice Duan Chenfeng who was beside her. After so many years, Duan Chenfeng's appearance had undergone a huge change, so how could she possibly remember him? "You are?”
Xiao Ting looked at Duan Chenfeng and said with slight jealousy,""What? You know each other?"
Seeing that the atmosphere had suddenly become a little oppressive, Windkill hurriedly said,"Little Ruo, do you still remember eight years ago when I brought you and Leng Yu to Tianfeng City to protect Xu Wentian?”
After Little Ruo heard what Windkill said, her expression suddenly dimmed and her voice carried a trace of sadness."Of course I remember. I remember everything that happened between me and Cold Jade.”
Regarding Little Ruo and Leng Yu, they were originally an enviable couple and lived together every day. Little Ruo left her sect for Leng Yu-the Ice Sect. Every time there was a mission, they would go out together, but happiness did not last long. In one mission, after they succeeded, they were unfortunately surrounded by the other party. In order to protect Little Ruo's departure, Cold Jade sacrificed herself.
Seeing Little Ruo's expression, Windkill knew that he was thinking of Cold Jade again. He said with concern,"Little Ruo, don't think too much. The past is the past.”Then, he changed the topic and said,"When Xu Wentian was attacked, wasn't there a child who came out to stop him? He is that child from back then." As he spoke, he pointed at Duan Chenfeng.
When Little Ruo heard what Windkill said, she suddenly remembered that there was indeed a strange child at that time, but why would the child appear here! At this moment, she still didn't know that the person in front of her was Duan Chenfeng, who had caused a stir in the entire cultivation world. "Hello, my name is Xiao Ruo. I'm bringing Ting Ting back today."”
Duan Chenfeng replied politely,""I'm Duan Chenfeng." He had nothing to say to Little Ruo, so he only said such a simple sentence.
When Little Ruo heard the name Duan Chenfeng, she said in surprise,"You're that Duan Chenfeng who possesses a divine artifact and is being pursued by the Imperial Court.”
Duan Chenfeng nodded and didn't deny it. The whole world knew about this, so he had nothing to hide.
At this moment, Little Ruo turned her gaze to Xiao Ting who was beside Duan Chenfeng. She could tell from the moment she entered that Xiao Ting had fallen in love with this man in front of her. However, this man was in a dangerous situation. If they were together, what would the outcome be?
Now, Little Ruo began to worry about Xiao Ting's safety, but she didn't say it out loud because she found that Duan Chenfeng's True Core Strength was above hers. Perhaps he could protect the people who loved him, so she lightly smiled and solemnly said,"No matter how powerful your spells and magic tools are, you must protect the people you love. Otherwise, even if you got the whole world, you would still have nothing.”As she said this, she thought of the dead Cold Jade. She turned her head to the side and sighed softly in a direction that seemed to be nowhere.
Little Ruo's words expressed her feelings over the years. A desolate and helpless taste buds filled the room. In an instant, everyone lowered their heads and understood the meaning of Little Ruo's words. After a long time, Little Ruo said," Tingting, you haven't been back these days. Your mother misses you very much. Let's go back today!"”
When Xiao Ting heard that she was going back, she suddenly felt extremely disappointed. She raised her head and looked at Duan Chenfeng beside her. Then, as if she had made up her mind, she said to Little Ruo resolutely,"Aunt Xiao Ruo, can I bring Chenfeng back with me?”
As soon as she said that, not only was everyone stunned, even Duan Chenfeng was shocked. Looking at Xiao Ting's resolute attitude, it didn't seem like she was joking. He whispered,"Tingting, go back and see your mother. It's not good for me to go with you!”
"Yeah!" Windkill nodded. It's not like you don't know your mother's temper. If Chenfeng goes back and arouses Yuefeng's displeasure, you also know the consequences.”
Surprisingly, Little Ruo actually agreed with Xiao Ting's words. She said,"That's good too. Chenfeng, go back with Tingting! You have nothing to do here."
" But..." Duan Chenfeng wanted to say something, but Xiao Ting, who was beside him, quickly put her arm around his shoulder and said with a pleading tone,""Chenfeng, just accompany me for a while! "If I go back alone, I definitely won't be able to come out. I'll also be forced to cultivate by my mother. That kind of life will be difficult to endure.”When she said that, she had a wronged look on her face, as if she was the most miserable person in the world.
Listening to Xiao Ting's endless pleas, Duan Chenfeng's heart softened. Xiao Ting had done so much for him, he should help her a little. Looking at her eyes filled with desire, Duan Chenfeng couldn't say no, so he said,"Alright then! I'll go back with you." "Senior, when are we leaving?"”
When Xiao Ting heard Duan Chenfeng agree to her request, the grievance on her face was swept away. She happily said,""Aunt Xiao Ruo, should we go back now?”
"Let's go back now!" Little Ruo said. If he returned earlier, he wouldn't have to worry about the sect leader.”After saying that, he walked out of the door.
Duan Chenfeng and Xiao Ting also walked out. Wind Kill called out to Duan Chenfeng and said,""Chenfeng, wait a moment."
Duan Chenfeng turned around and asked,""Senior, what's the matter?"
"It's nothing," replied Windkill."The Sect Master wants you to go to his place when you wake up."”"Tingting, you and Aunt Xiao Ruo wait for Chenfeng at the foot of the mountain. He will go there to find you."”
Xiao Ting looked at Duan Chenfeng, waiting for his reply. Duan Chenfeng nodded, and Xiao Ting said,"Alright then! I'll wait for you at the foot of the mountain." As he spoke, he looked deeply at Duan Chenfeng and ran towards Little Ruo.
At the foot of the icy mountain, more than ten self-cultivators wearing royal guard uniforms stood there. One of them said to the leader,""Lord Tianming, should we go up now?”
Tian Ming, Tian Xing's younger brother, had been ordered to inquire about Duan Chenfeng. He looked at his subordinates and said,""Let's go up now." As he spoke, he led the way up the mountain.
Halfway up the mountain, they saw the stone tablet that stopped. Tianming said,"The deputy commander of the imperial guards, Tian Ming, has come to visit the Cold Death Sect's sect master.”
Leng Shi, who was in the forest, was shocked when he heard the other party announce his name. It was actually the royal guards. The Cold Death Sect had never had any dealings with the royal guards in the past few years. Why would they come here? Although the current imperial court was only in name, it still had to be welcomed. Thus, he called his four junior brothers beside him and walked out of the hidden forest.
Leng Shi came in front of Tian Ming and said,"Milord, may I know why you have come to our sect?”
Tianming smiled and said disdainfully,"I'm here to see your sect master. What's there to say to a small guard like you?”
"You." When one of the Leng Sha disciples behind Leng Shi heard Tian Ming's words, he angrily gripped the Leng Sha sword in his hand. Just as he was about to attack, Leng Shi stretched out his hand and stopped the other party. He then said,"Alright, please wait here. We'll go inform the sect master now.”As he spoke, he nodded to a junior brother beside him. After that junior brother understood, he went up the mountain and disappeared into the forest in an instant.
Tianming was one of the top self-cultivators in the palace. He had never been treated like this before. He was very dissatisfied and said angrily,"You told us to wait here. Why didn't you let us go up directly?”
Leng Shi did not have a good impression of such a person at all, so he turned his head to the side and replied coldly without looking at Tianming,"This is the sect's rule. Anyone who sees the sect master needs to report.”
"What rules? We have something important to see the sect master about. If anything goes wrong, can you bear the responsibility?”Seeing Leng Shi's attitude, Tian Ming became even angrier and raised his voice.
Leng Shi didn't pay attention to the other party's words. He still said coldly,"Sir, I'm sorry. You have to wait here.”When he said that, he intentionally or unintentionally emphasized the word 'wait'.
"You…" Tianming angrily took out his magic tool. It was a large black saber that was more than twenty feet long. There was a faint layer of black fog on the blade. Without saying a word, he raised his saber and slashed at Leng Shi. His movements were so fast that even his subordinates beside him did not expect their commander to launch a sneak attack on someone else.
With three whooshing sounds in the air, the saber in Tianming's hand was suddenly blocked by something, and his attack slowed down. Tianming held the saber in his hand and said to the direction of the sound,"The Frost Needle is indeed powerful. Miss, come out!”
It was Little Ruo who had attacked just now. She and Xiao Ting walked out of the forest. When Leng Shi saw Xiao Ting, he said,"Why? Are you going home?"
"Yes!" "Chenfeng will come back with me later," Xiao Ting said with a smile.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Tian Ming, who was beside Xiao Ting, heard the words 'Duan Chenfeng'. He suddenly said,"What? Duan Chenfeng is still alive?”
Hearing someone curse Duan Chenfeng to death, Xiao Ting said angrily,""Chen Feng won't die! If you want to die, you'll die."
Little Ruo stopped Xiao Ting from continuing. Her gaze swept over the large blade in Tianming's hand, then she stared at Tianming and said,"You Ming Dao, you are the deputy commander of the imperial guards, Tian Ming.”
Tianming looked at Little Ruo and said disdainfully,"So what?"
Little Ruo's eyes were filled with anger, and her body released killing intent. She stared at Tian Ming and coldly said,"Do you still remember that eight years ago, in World City's Yunfen Manor, you brought a group of imperial guards and killed a Cold Death Sect disciple?”Little Ruo didn't recognize Tianming at first. At that time, Tianming and the others had all appeared with their faces covered. However, she recognized that saber. It was one of the ten great lethal weapons, the Darklight Saber.
Xiao Ting also felt the change in Little Ruo and quickly asked,"Little Aunt Ruo, what's wrong with you? Are you the one who killed Uncle Cold Jade?”
When Tianming heard the woman in front of him say this, he thought about it. It seemed that the operation was a secret. How did she know? Could it be that she was the woman who had escaped that day? Although the possibility was very high, Tianming still did not take her to heart. He smiled and said,"So it was your Cold Death Sect that secretly assassinated you. Interesting, I don't think I'll be able to meet the sect master today.”
Little Ruo saw that the other party was still smiling and said,"You must die here today." Her voice turned even colder, as if she had already decided a person's life and death. She opened her right hand and placed it in front of her chest. There were five small silver needles in the middle of each finger. These small needles were the hidden weapons unique to the Cold Ice Sect. It was a magic tool that was as fast as the Void Sword Qi.
The people behind Tianming also took out their magic tools at the same time. It seemed that a battle was about to happen. Anyone could see that Little Ruo was not a match for so many people. Even if Leng Shi, Xiao Ting, and the others were added, they still could not change the outcome of their defeat.
Tian Ming saw Little Ruo's angry look and laughed loudly,"You think you can kill me? Haha.”Before his smile could stop, he could no longer smile because at this moment, a group of people appeared behind Little Ruo.
The leader was dressed in a black Daoist robe and held a sword in his hand. The blade of the sword was as red as blood. His gaze was incomparably deep, as if he did not care about anything in the world. He came to Xiao Ting's side and softly said,"I'm here." As he spoke, he took out his token and said to Tianming and the others,"Cold Death Sect's Blood Hangman, pass on the sect master's words. Please leave this place as soon as possible, or else…kill.”As he spoke, his eyes emitted a cold light, causing Tian Ming to tremble.
At this moment, Tian Ming saw Duan Chenfeng bring so many Cold Death Sect disciples who were in the Power Condensation stage. He knew that he had no chance of winning this fight. He suppressed the anger in his heart and said,"Good, your Cold Death Gate is actually an enemy of the Imperial Court. Just you wait! And you, Blood Hangman, better be careful.”Then, he turned around and said to the person beside him,"Let's go."
Little Ruo saw that Tianming and the others had left and said anxiously,"Duan Chenfeng, how could you let them go! I still want revenge."
Duan Chenfeng pulled Little Ruo who wanted to take revenge and said,"Senior, even if we fight now, both sides will suffer. Let them go! There will still be opportunities in the future."
Little Ruo looked in the direction that Tian Ming left and said hatefully,"Tianming, one day, I will personally kill you.”Her words were filled with hatred, and Duan Chenfeng couldn't help but be shocked. So it turned out that hating a person could reach such a level.
After Tian Ming and the others left, Duan Chenfeng said to the Cold Death Sect disciples behind him,""All of you can go back!"
"Yes, sir!" After everyone finished speaking, they left one by one.
After a while, only three people were left in front of the stone tablet. Duan Chenfeng said,""Let's go!"
The three of them took out their magic tools and flew up into the air, flying towards the Ice Mountain on the west side of the Ice Mountain.
