Chu Li left with the two Heaven's Chosen. The atmosphere was disrupted, causing the hall to sink into a gloomy atmosphere.
At that moment, Gu Ying suddenly stood up and shouted at the old emperor, "Master, the Ancient Bone Clan still has some matters to attend to, so I'm leaving."
With that, Bone Shadow left the Universal Palace as fast as he could, disappearing from sight.
Lin Feng looked at Gu Ying's back and wanted to laugh. The Ancient Bone Clan and the Lun Bi Empire had already formed an alliance. Gu Ying and Gu Ying had probably put on a show together.
Gu Ying had helped the three princes find suitable geniuses and then ignored the other geniuses. Then, Chu Li had gone to recruit those who had been ignored. Finally, he had left the Faran Empire.
That was the plan.
When the old emperor saw that Gu Ying had left the Universal Palace, he understood what was going on, but it was too late.
The atmosphere was getting more and more oppressive. The five geniuses of the Ancient Spirit Clan were sitting calmly on their chairs. Since they had decided to join the Faran Empire, they wouldn't change their minds.
Garuda didn't care. He hadn't received any support from the Ancient Beast Clan, so he could choose either the Lun Bi Empire or the Faran Empire.
"Mu Feng, my little friend, from now on, you're an esteemed guest of the Faran Empire. You can come and go as you please, you don't need anyone's permission."
Said the old emperor. At the same time, he was glaring at the three princes. Those three princes had given their most precious treasures to Mu Feng, but none of them had invited Mu Feng. Chu Li had almost taken Mu Feng away. The old emperor was furious. Therefore, he had decided to spend a lot of money to convince Lin Feng to stay.
Lin Feng looked at the old emperor in a strange way. He couldn't help but laugh inside. Surprisingly, the old emperor had allowed him to come and go as he pleased. If that was the case, he would be able to see Yan Ran Xue. He was confident that he would be able to save Yan Ran Xue without alerting anyone.
"Thank you very much, Mister. Mu Feng is very happy." said Lin Feng to the old man. He sounded like he was trying to be grateful.
The Old Emperor nodded his head in satisfaction and laughed out loud. He was very happy.
Elder Fa Duo's face was also full of smiles. It would only be good for the development of the Faran Empire if they could keep a genius like Mu Feng. He was sure that Mu Feng would break through the Legendary Realm, which was the Emperor God. As long as the Faran Empire had one more Emperor God, it could change everything.
Even though the banquet ended on a bad note, the Faran Empire hadn't lost much. They had managed to keep the five strong cultivators of the Ancient Soul Clan, Garuda, and most importantly, Lin Feng.
The banquet ended very quickly. Lin Feng stayed in the Imperial Palace and Elder Fa Duo arranged a luxurious palace for him. That palace, including the courtyard and the lotus pond, was half the size of a prince's palace.
The Faran Empire was very important to Lin Feng.
Apart from the First Prince, Fa Chun, the Second Prince, Fahe, and the Fourth Prince, Fa Yin, had all left the palace. Moreover, they had been scolded by the Old King.
Garuda and the five strong cultivators of the Ancient Soul Clan were staying in the imperial palace, but they couldn't do what Lin Feng did, where he didn't need to tell anyone.
That night, Lin Feng stayed in the palace and didn't go out. He wasn't in a hurry to save Yan Ran Xue. Since he was already in the Faran Empire, a few more days wouldn't matter. Lin Feng also didn't want the Faran Empire to suspect him and think that he had ulterior motives.
The next morning, Lin Feng opened the door of his room and took a deep breath of fresh air. The sun was slowly rising from the horizon and the earth was covered with a golden radiance.
But at the same time, the Imperial Palace received a piece of news which made the Imperial Clan panic. Lin Feng received the news at noon. Of course, everything was under his control.
Fa Xuan's actions hadn't been good. In one night, he had gathered all the disciples from the border region and started a rebellion. Fa Xuan had been severely injured and his Qi was extremely weak.
At first, the Old King was furious that Fa Xuan had come back without permission. However, after knowing what had happened, his anger turned into sadness.
Fa Xuan had managed to resist until the last moment, but the disciples from the border region had rebelled. The Sun Empire had seized the opportunity and occupied eight hundred kilometers of land. Fa Xuan had led a group of people to fight to the death and had managed to defend a thousand kilometers of land.
The trigger for all of this was the fact that the border had not been paid for more than half a year. This caused the Old King's anger to reach an unsurpassable level.
When Lin Feng arrived at the Hidden Dragon Palace, the old emperor was already furious. He had investigated many people. In the end, he had found someone he couldn't believe. Fa Chun, the crown prince, had been in charge of the army's supplies. However, in six months, Fa Chun hadn't given any of the supplies to the border troops.
Fa Xuan's injuries had already been personally treated by the Old Emperor. Fa Xuan had also been arranged to recuperate in a certain courtyard. This matter should not be mentioned for the time being. This was also the Old Emperor's original words.
Lin Feng arrived at the Hidden Dragon Palace and saw the Old King. He didn't ask anything about Fa Xuan, after all, Lin Feng didn't want the Old King to think that he was biased towards Fa Xuan. Lin Feng didn't even ask about Fa Xuan, he just asked about the Imperial Palace.
The Old King patiently explained the structure of the Imperial Palace to Lin Feng. Apart from some secret places, the Old King didn't care much. He also made a map for Lin Feng, including the location of the Cold Palace.
The Cold Palace was a place where the Imperial Concubines of the Faran Empire were imprisoned, but it was the first time that the Crown Concubine had been imprisoned there.
Lin Feng told the Old King that he was going to have a walk and hoped that the Imperial Palace wouldn't mind. The Old King had to act magnanimous.
Lin Feng memorized all the places in his head. Apart from the Hidden Dragon Palace, Lin Feng immediately headed east. He passed through an imperial garden and a man-made lake. Then, he arrived at the place where Fa Xuan was resting.
There was no one here, and it looked rather desolate. It seemed that even though Fa Xuan had gained the attention of the old Emperor, he still wasn't valued. Just like before, the Emperor treated Fa Xuan like a poor man and didn't treat him as a prince.
After entering the courtyard, Fa Xuan's silhouette appeared in Lin Feng's field of vision. When Fa Xuan saw Lin Feng, he immediately stood up and looked happy.
"You're here." Fa Xuan looked at Lin Feng and smiled sincerely. His face was pale and his Qi wasn't stable. His arm was injured and it wasn't light.
Lin Feng looked at Fa Xuan and couldn't help but smile, "It seems like you're risking your life too."
"Not really, I just did what I had to do. I only followed half of your advice." Fa Xuan looked embarrassed and apologetic when he heard Lin Feng.
Lin Feng was surprised. He looked at Fa Xuan and waited for him to continue.
"Indeed, I discussed it with my subordinates and we were going to pretend to be sick, but I didn't think that there would be a traitor among our people. The Sun Empire knew that our morale was low so they attacked us at night. Fortunately, we were prepared and fought for a night. A few hundred of our subordinates died and less than five hundred managed to escape. In the end, we managed to defend our territory."
As Fa Xuan spoke to there, a pained expression appeared on his face. These subordinates were all his old friends, and they had all been killed just like that. His heart ached, and he was even more furious. The Crown Prince Fa Chun's dirty tricks had caused so many people to die.
However, it was obvious that the Old Emperor was on Fa Chun's side. The Old Emperor wasn't going to pursue the matter anymore. If that was the case, those hundreds of people would have died in vain.
Fa Xuan shook his head. He didn't want the matter to end like that.
"I want to go and explain to my father. I want justice for them." Fa Xuan thought for a long time and finally decided to make the Old Emperor pay with his blood.
When Lin Feng heard Fa Xuan, he shook his head. Fa Xuan was surprised and didn't understand.
"You don't agree?" asked Fa Xuan to Lin Feng.
"Of course. You're already halfway there, why do you want to ruin your own future? It can be said that your father has already taken an interest in you, and he even has a good impression of you. If you rush out at this time, your father's good impression of you will definitely disappear. "
"Hehe, to tell you the truth, at that time, the one who will be punished won't be the Old Emperor, but you, Fa Xuan."
"You know that the Old Emperor is biased towards the Old Emperor and you still want to provoke him. He doesn't want to offend the Old Emperor."
Lin Feng was analyzing the situation for Fa Xuan. Fa Xuan was really good, but he was too impulsive. Besides, he was too straightforward. That kind of person wasn't suitable to be in the Imperial Clan.
Fa Xuan was seriously listening to Lin Feng's words but he was still unwilling to give up. A few hundred disciples were going to die just like that?
"I understand how you feel, but now is not the time to tell the truth. This is just the beginning."
"You should go to your father now and tell him that you want to go back to the border. Even though it's a bit risky, you have to tell him that you can't let the border fall. You have to take back the land that the Sun Empire has lost."
"But you can't tell him anything. That's the only way to make the Old Emperor think more and more highly of you. He might even be moved by what you've done. If he becomes more and more angry with the Old Emperor, one day, the Old Emperor will collapse and you will be able to rebuild the Sun Empire. Your subordinates will also be able to rest in peace."
Lin Feng continued to give advice. Actually, it wasn't a difficult plan, but Fa Xuan was too straightforward and didn't think about it.
When Fa Xuan heard Lin Feng, he felt like he had a bright future.
"Thank you very much, I'll buy you a drink someday." When Fa Xuan finished talking, he ran out of the courtyard and quickly disappeared from Lin Feng's line of sight.
"You haven't bought me a drink yet." Lin Feng smiled wryly. He couldn't do anything to a prince like Fa Xuan.
"It seems like our little friend Mu Feng has found a suitable prince."
Suddenly, a voice came from behind Lin Feng which made Lin Feng's facial expression change drastically.
Lin Feng turned around and saw an old man standing behind him. He was smiling at Lin Feng.
