"Why does the crown prince stay with the envoys of other three kingdoms? Didn’t those six people be put into prison due to the crime of attempted assassination? "
"Did His Majesty change his mind and ask the crown prince to release six of them?"
"Nonsense, the emperor was so furious that he has given an order to execute those six people. How can he ask the crown prince to set them free?"
All guards were puzzled except Feng Qianlong who was bold and careful. Thanks to thirty years of official career, he was good at gauging people's mind, so he immediately figured out what was happening.
"Your Highness, please retreat quickly. These six men are important criminals of the imperial court, and I have the right to arrest them." With a grave face, Feng Qianlong lifted his right hand, and called out to all guards, "Come on, go and catch them."
"General Feng, you have been in your position since my grandpa ruled the kingdom. I'll tell you what, if you see through the current situation and make a right decision to follow me, you're gonna rank officials in three succeeding regimes, and I give you my word that I will confer on you the title of marquis." Tian Xuexi tried to persuade Feng Qianlong.
As a general guarding the border for thirty years, Feng Qianlong owned massive forces and connections. If Tian Xuexi gained Feng’s assistance, he would like a tiger which grew wings. Therefore, he did not want to be Feng Qianlong’s enemy unless it was absolutely necessary.
Feng Qianlong got Tian Xuexi’s words, but he remained unchanged, and said firmly, "Your Highness, my loyalty is only with the imperial court. If you are hand and glove with the other three kingdoms to against His Majesty, I’ll try to stop you."
Before Tian Xuexi could say a word, Cao Yuehu grunted, "How dare a minor border general is so arrogant before me. Are you tired of life?"
Feng Qianlong suddenly felt a sense of terror, and was goose flesh all over. Then he stepped back instinctively.
The oncoming pressure overwhelmed him, and he could scarcely breathe. Although powerful as Feng Qianlong, he felt a sharp pain in his chest and then spurt blood out of his mouth.
"Immortal... Immortal master!" Terribly injured, Feng Qianlong backed up a few steps with fear in his eyes.
Apart from Feng Qianlong, other people also discerned the powerful strength of Cao Yuehu, because they had witnessed such a strength in the confrontation between Si Wenhan and Murong Fengjian.
"Murong Fengjian, you're the National Master of the Kingdom of Dubhe. Zhiqing monk thought highly of your martial arts, but I did not expect you met your Waterloo this time. After all, you’re just a half immortal." Duanmu Jianming kept waving a folding fan which was from nowhere.
Grim-faced, Murong Fengjian gave a sneering smile, "I thought only Zhiqing monk was an immortal master, but I didn't expect you are the immortal expert as well. May I ask who you are?"
"I’m the Master of the kingdom of Luocha."
"Oh, you’re Duanmu Master. It seems that you guys also use an amazing magic tool to hide your immortal breath, so that even I didn’t see through your real strength." said Murong Fengjian. Then he began to cough, and it was like his injury was aggravated.
"Thanks to Hierarch Cao, he gave us a magic tool of grade four to conceal our immortal breath, and it is a life-saving tool as well."
"Hierarch Cao?" Slightly stunned,Si Wenhan looked to Cao Yuehu, and asked, "Cao Yuehu, you're in charge of the bishop of the kingdom of Wenhao, aren't you? When did you become a real immortal? "
"You’re Si Wenhan, huh? I remembered we have met once ten years ago. At that time, you were still an exalted national teacher, and I was just an elder of the bishop, but both of us were in the highest level of the Sky Spirit Realm and opened up thirty-six inner circulations. I did not expect that ten years later, I become a hierarch of the bishop and ascend to immortality, while you are just a half immortal and lose all standing and reputation."
Cao Yuehu and Shi Wenhan seemed to be acquainted with each other, and they immediately recognized each other when they met. But they looked like enemies rather than friends.
