"Bestowed by Crown Prince Chongyun?" Qing Wei old ancestor was a little surprised hearing this and specially confirmed it.
Old patriarch Xiao naturally didn't dare to slight the Yuanying stage Qing Wei old ancestor and hurriedly gave an explanation.
According to what Old patriarch Xiao said, Crown Prince Chongyun specially took care of the Xiao family. With his support, the Xiao family has been thriving in recent days and has successfully overwhelmed the other big families in Wuzhou that had been competing with them, becoming the number one tyrant in Wuzhou.
Xiao Yan suddenly realized something was wrong and carefully looked at his grandfather: "Grandpa, I almost didn't notice, you formed the golden elixir?"
Before he left Wuzhou with Lin Feng, Old patriarch Xiao was only at the late stage of foundation building. Although he had already condensed the pill cauldron, he was already old and his qi and blood were gradually declining. The hope of forming the golden elixir was very slim.
Old patriarch Xiao obviously knew what Xiao Yan meant and said with a smile: "Crown Prince Chongyun bestowed the Heaven Reaching Pill and the Barrier Breaking Pill. After I took it, I successfully broke through the bottleneck and formed the core. Moreover, it was a jade pill."
Hearing this, Qing Wei old ancestor's expression did not change, but his gaze became more gloomy.
"Crown Prince Chongyun obviously already knows my intention of marrying Yanran, but now it seems that he doesn't want to shed all pretense of cordiality with Xuanmen Tianzong." Qing Wei old ancestor pondered: "If it's to compensate Xiao Yan that he treats the Xiao family so well, then it's okay."
"But if he just wants to be on good terms with Xuanmen Tianzong and doesn't have any thoughts about Nalan Yanran as a concubine, then it's very bad."
Qing Wei old ancestor was now extremely conflicted. Murong Yanran running away made him very difficult.
Crown Prince Chongyun agreed to the marriage, but the bride ran away, enlarging the Qin Dynasty crown prince's refusal. Even the Celeritas sword sect had to weigh the consequences.
If Crown Prince Chongyun didn't agree to the marriage, then the pressure on the Great Qin Dynasty side was naturally gone. But the master and disciple Lin Feng and Xiao Yan in front of him went to fulfill the challenge bet made the Celeritas sword sect unable to respond.
While Qing Wei old ancestor was in pain and conflicted over there, Lin Feng's mouth revealed a light smile.
However, this smile was a little strange.
"As expected, the Qin dynasty doesn't plan to be my enemy and forcefully turn against me. It's just that I originally thought it was the idea of their new prime minister." Lin Feng was slightly confused: "Why would it be the order of Crown Prince Chongyun?"
The information that Lin Feng had gathered from all sorts of sources had vividly formed the image of the Great Qin Dynasty's Crown Prince, Chongyun.
Arrogant, domineering, stubborn, possessive, and unwilling to give up until he achieved his goal.
Strictly speaking, even in the Cultivation World, such personality characteristics did not meet the requirements of the public for a crown prince.
If it wasn't for the fact that the Qin Emperor only had one son, it would have been difficult for the Crown Prince of Chongyun to become the Crown Prince.
Combining the information from various sources, Crown Prince Chongyun had always been like this for many years. Basically, the possibility that he was putting on an act to disguise himself had been eliminated.
Now, he was obviously trying to befriend Xuanmen Tianzong, which was a huge contrast to his previous behavior.
This made Lin Feng a bit curious, "Interesting, what is this kid planning?"
Already decided to take Murong Yanran as a concubine, so to appease and compensate Xiao Yan?
Or could it be that he never had any plans to form a marriage alliance with the Celeritas Sword Sect and instead wants to get on good terms with Xuanmen Tianzong?
"Interesting." Lin Feng faintly smiled. He came to Wuzhou City to see the Xiao family's situation and from there be able to judge the Great Qin Dynasty's attitude.
But looking at it now, there was still a bit of a confusing feeling.
If Crown Prince Chongyun had already decided to take Murong Yanran as a concubine and voluntarily took on the conflict of the Celeritas Sword Sect, then Lin Feng definitely wouldn't send Murong Yanran back.
The Celeritas Sword Sect stood Crown Prince Chongyun up so let the two of them slowly bite each other.
But if Crown Prince Chongyun originally didn't plan to take Murong Yanran as a concubine, then Murong Yanran's disappearance instead satisfied his intentions. When the time comes when facing the Celeritas Sword Sect that has a guilty conscience, as long as he appropriately shows off his magnanimity, he can make the Celeritas Sword Sect lean towards him even more.
There seemed to be a layer of fog in front of Lin Feng, and in the depths of the fog there seemed to be a pair of faintly discernible eyes carefully observing him.
"Wu Qingrou, that new prime minister of the Great Qin Dynasty?" Lin Feng gave a light laugh, gradually making a plan in his heart.
You have a thousand plans, I have an old idea, let's wait and see.
Like what Xiao Yan said, they were just passing by Wuzhou City. After staying in Wuzhou for a short while, Xiao Yan once again said goodbye to old clan leader Xiao and followed Lin Feng and Qing Awe old ancestor towards the Celeritas Sword Sect's Cloud Traversing Peak.
Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the Cloud Traversing Peak, Qing Awe old ancestor also became more and more anxious. Suddenly, his face revealed an expression of astonishment.
Thinking that it was because he was too anxious that his mind became absent-minded, Qing Awe old ancestor once again released his divine sense. After searching carefully, he couldn't help but be even more astonished.
The old man suddenly discovered that the Murong Yanran that he had been searching for for a few days was actually on a small mountain near the Cloud Traversing Peak, right under the eyes of the Celeritas Sword Sect.
It's just that she seemed to have fallen into a coma, her mind not clear.
Qing Awe old ancestor secretly glanced at Lin Feng beside him, seeing that Lin Feng's expression was as usual, as if he didn't notice anything.
Even though his heart was full of question marks, Qing Awe old ancestor still let out a light sigh of relief, splitting out a bit of mana to that small mountain and sweeping up Murong Yanran.
While Qing Awe old ancestor introduced the various sceneries on the Cloud Traversing Peak to Lin Feng and his disciple as if nothing had happened, at the same time he released a bit of sword energy to wake Murong Yanran up from her deep sleep.
Murong Yanran woke up, opening her eyes to a green color. In the green mist of the mana space, a wisp of Qing Awe old ancestor's soul appeared, projecting a ray of light, looking at her expressionlessly.
"Disciple greets grandmaster." Murong Yanran bowed down gracefully.
Qing Awe old ancestor said lightly, "If you don't want to marry into the royal family, just tell Tong Ling or me, I won't force you."
Murong Yanran had completely recovered her calmness at this moment, saying softly, "Disciple was bewitched before, now I've figured it out. I'm willing to accept all the punishment for the mistakes I made before."
Qing Awe old ancestor shook his head. As long as Murong Yanran was found, the matter of punishment or not could be discussed later. What he cared about now was another matter.
"Tell me everything that happened after you left the Cloud Traversing Peak in full detail."
Lin Feng didn't erase Murong Yanran's memory and consciousness of seeing him. Doing so was likely to hurt Murong Yanran's soul, and it would leave traces, which would be seen by others.
Even if Qing Awe old ancestor couldn't see it, Flashing Light Sword Venerable who had cultivated the primordial spirit would definitely be able to see it.
Lin Feng already had his own plan in mind, so he didn't care that the Celeritas Sword Sect knew the whole story. As for the Celeritas Sword Sect would wonder why he sent Murong Yanran back, let them waste their brains to guess.
Qing Awe old ancestor now felt that his head was hurting. He stared at Murong Yanran and said with a frown, "You mean that the Master of Xuan Gate has already guessed that Crown Prince Chongyun might take you as a concubine?"
"Even so, he still let you go?"
Murong Yanran at this moment was already quite calm about the marriage, calmly answering, "Although he didn't come to a clear conclusion, but from the meaning of his words, he also thinks that disciple will marry Crown Prince Chongyun."
Qing Awe old ancestor was tangled again. What he was most afraid of was that after Lin Feng knew the whole story, he would secretly detain Murong Yanran, and then go to the Cloud Traversing Peak to ask for her.
At that time, Crown Prince Chongyun, who had been stood up by the Celeritas Sword Sect, would come to the Celeritas Sword Sect. With the two-pronged attack, the Celeritas Sword Sect who had shot themselves in the foot would be in big trouble.
But now Lin Feng actually took the initiative to let Murong Yanran back, which made Qing Awe old ancestor unable to figure it out.
"Forget it, let's go back to the mountain first." Qing Awe old ancestor couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it. After returning to the mountain and telling the elders, everyone could go and worry about it together.
Lin Feng clearly knew that Qing Awe old ancestor secretly took back Murong Yanran's little action. The corner of his mouth revealed a light smile, looking at the distant horizon, "That is the Cloud Traversing Peak right?"
In the distance, between the rolling mountains, a pale golden mountain Silently floated above the mountains.
Unlike the other mountains that gave off a majestic and steady feeling, the light golden mountain peak was more like a floating cloud.
The cliffs and rocks at the edge of the mountain Peak could even be seen changing shape.
But inside that cloud-shaped mountain peak, Lin Feng could faintly feel a sharp sword intent, changing unpredictably yet showing off its edge. Between the rolling and unfolding clouds, there seemed to be infinite sword light flashing dazzlingly.
Qing Awe old ancestor smiled and said, "This is the location of the Dark Cloud Sect, Cloud Traversing Peak, Sect Leader Lin, please."
Before his voice died away, endless clouds and mist suddenly emerged on the Cloud Traversing Peak. Immediately after, the clouds and mist dispersed to both sides, as if the clouds were parted to see the sun. A golden staircase extended out from the Cloud Traversing Peak and came to the front of Lin Feng and the others.
At the other end of the staircase stood seven people, tall and short, fat and thin, men and women. But without exception, a terrifying mana fluctuation flowed all over their bodies, as if they could tear the void at any time.
They didn't show the slightest aggressiveness, all the sword qi on their bodies were restrained, but just standing there gave people a huge visual impact.
Seven Yuanying old ancestors personally came to greet the sect.
Not only did they want to treat Lin Feng courteously, but they also wanted to show off their strength. At least as far as Lin Feng knew, the Yuanying stage cultivators of the Celeritas Sword Sect were not only the seven people in front of him, plus the eight old ancestors beside him.
Lin Feng looked up and saw that they seemed to be one with the void, real and illusory. This was the characteristic of those who had practiced the Celeritas Sword Sect's dao technique to an extremely high realm.
What made Lin Feng even more concerned was that on the Cloud Traversing Peak, there was vaguely an extremely valiant will that was constantly paying attention to him.
That valiant will made Lin Feng feel a sense of uneasiness and fear rise from the bottom of his heart. Without a doubt, the only person in the Celeritas Sword Sect who could give him pressure was the primordial spirit realm Celeritas Sword Lord.
Among the seven Yuanying old ancestors who came to greet the sect, a middle-aged scholarly looking old ancestor in the middle smiled and said: "The master of Xuan Gate has graced us with your presence, the entire Hidden Sect is honored by your presence. The master of the Hidden Sect is currently waiting on the Cloud Traversing Peak and specially ordered us to come and greet the master of Xuan Gate. If we have been impolite, I hope that the Xuan Gate does not take offense."
Lin Feng faintly smiled, but his body did not move. Instead he looked towards the little guy beside him.
The little guy immediately understood Lin Feng's meaning, chuckling and walking forward first.
