When the truth was revealed, both Zhao Feng and Tiegan Master were shocked.
The Liu Qinxin that Zhao Feng was looking for had a huge background. She was Empress Qin of the Imperials!
In the Canopy Great Country, the Imperials was the highest authority and controlled the entire country. In name, even the Three Sects and Four Families had to listen to them.
Thinking up to here, Zhao Feng's eyebrows furrowed and his expression changed as he suddenly thought of something.
If he remembered correctly, the Imperials and Iron Blood Religion were like fire and water, fighting both openly and secretly.
The Imperials was the ruler in name and controlled the entire country. On the other hand, the Iron Blood Religion was the country's religion and used iron and blood methods to suppress everything.
"This Empress Qin is extremely powerful and charms everyone. She even tried to control the government and is a huge enemy of the Iron Blood Religion."
Tiemo said coldly.
Hearing this, Zhao Feng's heart became uneasy.
The Iron Blood Religion and the Imperials and even Empress Qin were enemies.
"If I bring the token and join Empress Qin, wouldn't that mean …"
Zhao Feng couldn't help but worry.
Master Tiegan was also aware of this and cast a questioning glance at Tiemo.
The blood haired man's eyes twinkled as he said, "No matter what, you've helped the Iron Blood Religion and me greatly. I clearly distinguish between gratitude and grudges. I won't make things difficult for you on this point. "
After receiving the answer, Zhao Feng let out a breath.
He was originally worried that the Iron Blood Religion would force him to make a choice.
However, even if Tiemo didn't make things difficult for Zhao Feng, he would still feel a headache.
The Iron Blood Religion and the Imperials were enemies.
If he was on good terms with the Iron Blood Religion, he would become the enemy of the Imperials and even the owner of the letter, Empress Qin.
However, if he was settled by the Imperials after delivering the letter, he would become the enemy of the Iron Blood Religion.
No matter which side he offended, Zhao Feng would become the enemy of the other side. This was unavoidable.
After completing the task, Zhao Feng didn't stay and immediately said his goodbyes.
Right now, the most important thing to him was how to deal with this imminent "marriage".
As he watched Zhao Feng leave, Master Tiegan probed, "Vice Sect Master, aren't you worried that Zhao Feng will be placed in an important position by the royal family? His eye bloodline is very useful. "
"You have to look further. Even if you force him to make a choice now, you won't be able to gain his loyalty. Furthermore, Empress Qin was born in the Great Country, so how close would she be with people from other regions? "
The crimson-haired man's eyes were deep and serene.
"So you're saying that Zhao Feng and Empress Qin don't have a deep relationship?"
Master Tiegan came to a sudden realization.
"Hehe."
The crimson-haired man's lips curled into a sinister smile. "It won't be long before the answer is revealed. Everything depends on whether or not my guess is correct. "
After returning to the city.
Zhao Feng was immediately summoned by the Flooding Lake City Lord.
It turned out that Zhao Feng and Liu Qinxin's wedding would be held in half a month.
"From now on, don't bother yourself with anything else. Focus on preparing for the wedding."
The Flooding Lake City Lord said.
In this period of time, news of Zhao Feng and the City Lord's daughter's marriage had spread across the entire Flooding Lake City.
The City Lord's Palace was already preparing for the wedding and the entire Flooding Lake City was filled with a joyous atmosphere.
Zhao Feng felt even more pressured.
The closer it was to the wedding, the smaller his chances of escaping would be.
All of this was the Flooding Lake City Lord's plan that left Zhao Feng with no path of retreat.
Any other man would be willing to face a woman like Liu Qinxin even if they knew they were being schemed against.
Liu Qinxin had a beauty that could captivate a city and a calm temperament, like a goddess from a painting.
In terms of talent and background, she was perfect.
However, Zhao Feng didn't have any plans to get married.
He was still young, only a little over sixteen years old, and he was focused on pursuing the peak of the Dao. He didn't understand the matters between men and women yet.
All of this was the Flooding Lake City Lord's plan. Adding on the so-called 'fate', it was the little thieving cat that took off Liu Qinxin's veil.
However, in front of the Flooding Lake City Lord, Zhao Feng's expression didn't change and he agreed to everything.
"Also, if you become the son-in-law of the Liu family, it's best if you don't get too close to the Iron Blood Religion."
The Flooding Lake City Lord warned.
Zhao Feng soon realised that Empress Qin came from the Liu family.
From a certain point of view, her joining the Imperials represented the relationship between the Liu family and the Imperials.
If the Liu family was close to the Imperials, then the Iron Blood Religion would have to stay away.
After saying goodbye to the Flooding Lake City Lord.
Zhao Feng returned to his residence and scanned around with his God's Spiritual Eye.
With this scan, his expression became solemn.
There was an expert at the True Spirit Realm near his residence that was monitoring Zhao Feng.
So.
Because of the marriage and the Iron Blood Religion, the Flooding Lake City Lord had sent an expert at the True Spirit Realm to 'protect' Zhao Feng.
With an expert at the True Spirit Realm monitoring Zhao Feng, the difficulty of his escape would increase dramatically.
Zhao Feng took a deep breath and sat down cross legged as he circulated his cultivation.
Since there was an expert at the True Spirit Realm monitoring him, then there was no need for him to hide his strength.
On the same night, he 'broke through' to the 7th Sky.
This time, Zhao Feng didn't need to consolidate his cultivation and had 'returned' to his original realm.
"My cultivation and foundation are both stronger than before."
Zhao Feng nodded his head.
He was also at the 7th Sky, but he was much stronger than when he was at the peak of the Alliance Banquet.
After the Alliance Banquet, Zhao Feng had comprehended the Origin Core Realm and his mental energy level had exceeded the half-step True Spirit Realm.
Not to mention that his First Level of the Lightning Legacy had reached the Great Perfection level. His mental power and other aspects were much stronger than before.
The news of Zhao Feng's breakthrough soon reached the Flooding Lake City Lord.
"Young master just broke through and said he needed to consolidate his cultivation, so he pushed away a lot of the wedding preparations."
A steward said.
"Breaking through is a good thing. If that's the case, try to get rid of all the troublesome things for him. "
The Flooding Lake City Lord didn't suspect anything and even had a gratified expression.
Firstly, breaking through needed to be consolidated and secondly, Zhao Feng's breakthrough was more compatible with Liu Qinxin's.
"One more thing. Tell him to take off the eye-patch before the wedding. A genius with an eye bloodline is enough to match Qinxin's bloodline. "
The Flooding Lake City Lord ordered.
The City Lord's orders soon reached Zhao Feng.
"Very good. This time, I'll need the God's Spiritual Eye's power to escape."
Zhao Feng slowly took off the eye-patch.
After returning from the Tiegan Palace, he had changed into a new eye-patch. It was faint silver and as thin as a blade.
This new eye-patch was given to him by Tiegan Master and when he wore it, it blocked the aura of his eye bloodline to the maximum.
Next.
Using the name of consolidating his cultivation, Zhao Feng started to secretly plan his escape.
He didn't go out much, but he was always planning.
He even sent the little thieving cat to take care of some inconvenient things.
The little thieving cat was small in size and had extraordinary concealment skills. It was easy to do many things.
"The City Lord's Palace, the Flooding Lake City, and the nearby terrain …."
Zhao Feng thought.
With his current cultivation, he wasn't afraid of two or three half-step True Spirit Realm experts chasing after him.
The hardest to deal with was the newly sent expert at the True Spirit Realm.
This person was called Liu Yuan and apparently, he was the cousin of the Flooding Lake City Lord. He had gone to the Qin Sword Palace to cultivate and stayed nearby in the name of protecting the City Lord's son-in-law.
The day of the wedding was coming closer and there were only five or six days left.
On this day.
Zhao Feng had finally 'exited seclusion.'
The first thing Zhao Feng did after exiting seclusion wasn't find Liu Qinxin or the City Lord's Palace.
His target was the expert at the True Spirit Realm who was watching over him.
"Uncle Yuan, I've just stabilized my cultivation and have many questions about cultivation. I want to ask you for some pointers."
Zhao Feng went to find the expert at the True Spirit Realm.
"En."
Liu Yuan nodded his head. Being an elder, he didn't reject it. Many juniors came to him for pointers.
Furthermore, the youth in front of him was the son-in-law of the City Lord and the future Young Master of the Flooding Lake City.
At the same time.
Liu Yuan thought in his heart, "I'll use this chance to understand this brat's cultivation."
Zhao Feng had an eye bloodline and was mysterious. Even the Flooding Lake City Lord was curious about him.
Zhao Feng first went to find Liu Yuan and asked him about cultivation.
After that, he asked for a spar.
Zhao Feng's goal was obviously to find out more about this expert at the True Spirit Realm.
Liu Yuan could be considered half a disciple of the Qin Sword Palace.
The Qin Sword Palace was one of the Three Great Sects of the Great Country and had a relationship with the Liu family.
In terms of battle style, the Qin Sword Palace mostly used the Qin, sword, brush, flute, etc., giving them an indescribable elegance and nobility.
Liu Yuan's weapon was a black brush and when he waved it, the Qi of True Spirit would scatter and form a grand scene.
Zhao Feng's God's Spiritual Eye opened slightly and analysed Liu Yuan's battle style.
"Elegant, elegant, clean …. His offense and defense are average, but his speed is definitely not bad."
Zhao Feng understood the situation.
The strength he displayed was close to the half-step True Spirit Realm of the Canopy Great Country and was slightly stronger than the half-step True Spirit Realm of the Thirteen Countries.
Because of the God's Spiritual Eye, Zhao Feng and Liu Yuan could exchange a few moves.
Of course, Liu Yuan's strength was suppressed to around 30%. If he used his full strength at the True Spirit Realm, the difference in cultivation couldn't be made up.
After sparring for an hour, Zhao Feng had a rough understanding of Liu Yuan's strength.
In order to express his gratitude, Zhao Feng suggested taming Liu Yuan's mount.
Liu Yuan originally wanted to decline, but since Zhao Feng was extremely sincere, he agreed. He had long heard that Zhao Feng's beast taming skills weren't simple.
Two hours later.
Zhao Feng teamed up with the little thieving cat to tame Liu Yuan's Rainbow Sparrow.
Compared to before the domestication, the Colorful Phosphorus Swallow seemed to have become smarter and more intimate with its master.
"Many thanks, nephew."
Liu Yuan was overjoyed. He didn't know that from the start, Zhao Feng had been scheming against him and had already succeeded.
Success!
Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat looked at each other before returning home.
From now on.
The plan to escape from the marriage was ready.
