In Long Yu's opinion, the Imperial Princess and Long Ce were naturally on the same side.
It was already good enough that the Imperial Princess didn't use her status to suppress Feng Changge, but she still wanted both sides to stop fighting?
Long Ce obviously didn't want to stop fighting!
However, Long Ce didn't dare to continue fighting after the Imperial Princess spoke.
Feng Changge smirked when he heard Long Yu's question, "Little Yu, the major powers in the Imperial City keep each other in check. The relationship between them is very complicated. The Left Duke, Chu Chaosheng, has a grudge against us, but many people in the Chu Clan don't like Chu Chaosheng … "
The moment Feng Changge said this, Long Yu immediately understood.
So that was it!
This meant that the Imperial Princess who was with Long Ce wasn't on Chu Chaosheng's side. She might even be on the opposite side of Chu Chaosheng!
Just like how Long Zaitian was ostracized in the Long Clan, the Chu Clan was definitely not on the same side.
Although Chu Chaosheng wanted to deal with Long Yu and eliminate him, and even Long Ce and Long Ji wanted to do so, there were still people within the Imperial City who would restrict them!
This had a lot to do with Long Yu's talent.
Originally, in the entire Imperial City, Long Yu's grandfather was probably the only one secretly protecting him and fighting against the other powers that wanted to deal with him.
However, as Long Yu's talent was revealed, many people saw his value!
Especially those in the Chu Clan who were on the opposite side of Chu Chaosheng, they wanted to protect Long Yu's life so that Long Yu could cause trouble for Chu Chaosheng and the Long Clan.
This was the strategy of those in power!
Whether it was a country, a sect, or even a family, those who stood at the top had to consider 'balance'.
Only by maintaining a balance between the powers of the various factions would it be beneficial to one's ruling position.
Without a doubt, the Left Duke, Chu Chaosheng, had been very active in recent years. It was likely that he had alerted the other powers of the Chu Clan. Because of this, the Imperial Princess had appeared with Long Ce to help Long Yu at this time.
With the Imperial Princess's appearance, the matter had been perfectly resolved and she had even helped Long Yu.
Because in this way, even if Long Ji was heavily injured, the Long family of generals would not have any reason to deal with Long Yu. If they wanted to do anything, they could only do something small!
If not for the Imperial Princess appearing, Long Yu would have been in deep trouble for injuring Long Ji.
Long Yu was not a fool. After Feng Changge's explanation, he immediately understood the complexity of the situation.
"This imperial princess looks to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, and her cultivation is only at the ninth level of the Martial Path … I wonder who the big shot behind her is?"
Long Yu thought to himself as he quickly followed Liu Yuan into the Liu Clan Mansion.
As for Feng Changge, he was definitely going to talk to Liu Yu. Now that his cultivation had recovered and was even higher, he could be considered an expert in the Great Tang Empire. He definitely had the confidence to talk to Liu Yu.
It wasn't convenient for Long Yu to disturb Feng Changge, so he followed Liu Yuan and waited to see what she had to say.
The strongest person in the Liu Clan was only at the third stage of the True Spirit Realm, so they didn't dare to stop Long Yu and Liu Yuan!
Liu Zeyan was sent flying by Liu Yuan and fell to the ground. He had lost face as the Patriarch. Fortunately, no one noticed him.
Whether it was the appearance of Long Ji or Long Ce, or the tyrannical strength of Long Yu or Feng Changge, they all attracted the attention of the surrounding people. Who would pay attention to the unworthy Liu Family Patriarch, Liu Zeyan?
Long Ji's marriage proposal had naturally ended in failure.
Liu Zeyan's plan had been in vain and he had even suffered a blow from Liu Yuan. It could be said that he had suffered grievous injuries.
Liu Zeyan didn't dare say a word when he saw Liu Yuan bringing Long Yu into the Liu Clan. He could only watch as the two of them walked into the depths of the Liu Clan Residence.
"Liu Yuan, where are you taking me?"
Long Yu didn't suspect that Liu Yuan had any ulterior motives. He only took some precautions and followed her into the depths of the Liu Clan Residence. They came to a relatively secluded place.
"To see my father."
Liu Yuan said calmly.
"To see … your father?"
Long Yu was shocked when he heard that.
She was taking him to see her parents? He wasn't prepared at all!
"My parents met with an accident when I was young when they went out to hunt for demonic beasts. Other than my father, everyone died …"
A hint of sadness flashed in Liu Yuan's eyes. "And after my father came back, he also became crazy. People always say that he has completely gone mad, but I feel that he has encountered something unusual. It's just that I can't explain it."
Something unusual?
Long Yu's expression gradually turned serious.
There were only a few things that could cause a person to become crazy. It was either extreme fear or extreme sadness. In short, it was an unbearable blow.
No matter what, Liu Yuan's father was a Martial Cultivator. He definitely did not have any mental problems. In that case, he must have become crazy because of that accident.
However, no one knew what was going on in that accident!
"Your godfather was severely injured and his Heavenly Veins were damaged. His Martial Realm was suppressed below the True Spirit Secret Realm for twenty years …"
Liu Yuan continued with a hint of hope in her voice, "I'm wondering if you have a way to cure my father."
"I don't have the ability to save people."
Long Yu said directly, "My godfather relied on a Black-Level Elixir to recover."
"Black-Level Elixir?"
Liu Yuan was slightly stunned. She was obviously disappointed. She thought that Feng Changge's recovery had something to do with Long Yu. She didn't expect it to be because of a single elixir!
"Forget it. Since you're here, I'll bring you to see my father."
Liu Yuan shook her head and strode into the deepest part of the Liu Family Mansion. There were two thatched cottages in the courtyard. It was supposed to be a quiet and peaceful place.
However, when Long Yu stepped into the courtyard, he realized that it wasn't the case.
The two thatched cottages had obviously been destroyed by someone over and over again. In a corner of the courtyard, a crazed figure was trembling, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying!
That must be Liu Yuan's father.
"Don't come over, don't come over. Ah — — Hell Storm, Hell Storm …"
When the deranged figure saw Long Yu and Liu Yuan, he was immediately frightened. He cried out in fear and his entire body began to tremble even more!
What … Hell Storm?
Long Yu didn't know what it was and turned to look at Liu Yuan, who was standing still.
Liu Yuan stopped at the entrance of the courtyard but didn't enter. She just stared at the figure in the corner and said, "After my father came back, he lived like this for more than ten years. He didn't let anyone near him."
"What did he mean by Hell Storm?"
Long Yu asked.
"I don't know."
Liu Yuan frowned. "But in the words he usually shouted, I always felt that it meant something."
"For example?"
Long Yu asked again.
"The Infernal Storm. Demons appeared from the storm and captured my mother. They captured everyone …"
Liu Yuan answered softly.
Demons appeared from Hell Storm?
Long Yu frowned slightly. Ever since he came to the Heavenly Mandate Continent, he rarely heard about demons or hell. On this continent, everyone only believed in themselves and the Martial Arts Path.
No one would believe that gods, demons, and monsters were real!
Because of this, no one believed Liu Yuan's father when he shouted such words. They all thought he was crazy.
But Long Yu's heart skipped a beat!
He remembered that in the memory of the Dragon Seal of Nine Underworlds, the world was called the Shenwu World, not the Heavenly Mandate Continent. Also, the Shenwu World in his memory seemed to be much larger than the Heavenly Mandate Continent!
Originally, Long Yu had always wondered if there were other worlds outside of the Heavenly Mandate Continent.
Now that he heard Liu Yuan's father's words, he could almost guess the truth.
The Heavenly Mandate Continent might only be a small part of the Shenwu World!
Through the so-called "Hell Storm," the powerful Martial Arts Practitioners of the Shenwu World could come to the Heavenly Mandate Continent. Compared to the Martial Arts Practitioners of the Heavenly Mandate Continent, the Martial Arts Practitioners of the Shenwu World were naturally extremely powerful.
Just like the Jiuyou Tribe in Long Yu's memory, the people there called themselves the descendants of the dragon and the youngest Heavenly Human Secret Realm cultivator, even younger than Long Yu.
But in the Heavenly Mandate Continent, Long Yu had never seen any Heavenly Human Secret Realm cultivator!
Now, the only Heavenly Human Secret Realm cultivator he knew was one of the Seven Stars of Disaster, Star Sea Leaf.
Was the Shenwu World really outside of the Heavenly Mandate Continent?
If it wasn't, then what was the connection between the two?
These speculations only flashed through Long Yu's mind for a moment. Then, he comforted her, "Liu Yuan, don't be too discouraged. Your father said that your mother was captured, and she might still be alive. As long as you continue to grow stronger, you will find out the truth one day!"
"I think so too, but it's a pity that my father …"
Liu Yuan's eyes were a little sad.
"There's nothing we can do about it. Everything has a cause and effect."
Long Yu said solemnly, "If you want to untie the knot in your father's heart, you must first find out the truth. And if you want to understand the situation, you must have extraordinary strength! "
"That's true."
Liu Yuan nodded, then suggested, "We each obtained half of the Taiyin Heaven Stele, why don't we combine them and study together?"
"No problem."
Long Yu agreed without hesitation.
As he and the Taiyin Heaven Stele harmonized, he felt that his understanding of the Laws of the Shadow would soon reach another level. If he could have a complete Taiyin Heaven Stele to study, that would definitely be excellent.
Seeing Long Yu agree, Liu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
She was very pleased with Long Yu's reaction, because Long Yu did not call her father a madman like the others. Instead, he comforted her by saying that her mother might still be alive!
Of course, Liu Yuan did not know that what Long Yu was thinking was completely beyond her level of understanding.
The Shenwu Continent, the Jiuyou Tribe, the Heavenly Human Secret Realm — no matter which one it was, they were all things that Liu Yuan could not come into contact with right now!
After dealing with Long Ji together, the two of them had become much closer, to the point that the Taiyin Heaven Stele was willing to share it with each other.
Suddenly, Long Yu felt the Dragon Mark of the Nine Underworlds on his chest start to heat up, and the cause of this change was Liu Yuan's father, who was sitting in a corner!
