The towering heavens sprinkled down a myriad of rays of light, as if it was the residence of immortals. Even from a thousand miles away, one could feel the intimidating might.
This was one of the Heavenly Academy's Mortal Emperor Palace.
The interior of the palace was brightly lit, and in the depths of the palace stood a statue.
The statue was majestic and imposing, standing on top of the palace with his feet on the ground and his head on the dome of the sky, giving others a visual impact as if he was holding up the heavens and earth. His face was firm and unswerving, and his eyes flickered like two blazing suns, dazzling the eyes of others, making them unable to look directly at him. His body was surrounded by a halo of light, as if he was a god standing there. Although it was only a statue, it still gave others a huge impact on their minds, causing them to involuntarily feel a sense of reverence, wanting to kneel down, not daring to blaspheme him.
Standing at the entrance and looking at the statue, Feng Hao vaguely felt that the statue was walking towards him. A boundless ocean-like aura swept over, causing the hair on his body to stand on end, and he couldn't help wanting to escape.
"Heavenly Battle Art."
Suddenly, his originally pitch-black pupils were suffused with scarlet red veins that spread out. In an instant, it had turned into a sea of blood, filled with biting cold and ruthlessness. He had directly turned into a ferocious god, daring to fight against the heavens. He did not take even half a step back, and only his eyes flickered with divine light. His battle intent was awe-inspiring, without the slightest bit of fear.
At the same time, for some unknown reason, the Illusionary Martial Energy within his body was violently fluctuating like a mountain torrent, sweeping through the nine heavens. In an instant, a layer of faint black halo appeared on Feng Hao's body, and an aura as vast as the ocean and as heavy as a mountain spread out, engulfing the entire place.
Just as Wan Hongwen was about to call out to him, a similar fluctuation rippled out from the statue on top of the high hall. However, the degree of fluctuation was not something that Fenghao could compare to. It was many times more profound than Fenghao's.
"Chi chi …"
Just as he was about to pull Feng Hao away, two beams of light suddenly shot out from the statue's resplendent eyes. Like two beams of light, they directly pierced into Feng Hao's eyes...
"Not good."
A look of surprise flashed across Wan Hongwen's eyes as he reached out to pull Feng Hao away.
"Don't touch him."
The Left Protector walked out from the inner hall and stopped him.
"Clang."
The white-haired old man clenched his fist and the heavy door closed, emitting a thunderous sound.
"From now on, no one is allowed to enter the Mortal Emperor Manor without my permission."
While the guards outside the palace were puzzled, his voice resounded. The guards did not hesitate and immediately surrounded the Mortal Emperor's Mansion. A murderous aura spread out, causing people's hearts to tremble.
Of course, this did not attract too much attention. After all, this kind of situation would occur every time there was a major discussion.
…
"Protector."
Wan Hongwen walked toward the white-haired old man.
"What's going on?"
The old man frowned slightly and asked.
Naturally, he had been receiving information about Feng Hao's situation every day. Now, there was only one month left before the one-year deadline, and Feng Hao came out. Moreover, he came with the Heaven's Pole Institution's Principal. This meant that something big must have happened. Otherwise, Feng Hao would not have given up the opportunity to break through to the Great Saint Realm.
"Protector, this time, something big has happened …"
Glancing at Fenghao, who did not seem to have suffered any injuries, the corners of Wan Hongwen's mouth curled into a bitter smile as he began to explain.
"What? It's the people from the Nandou Mansion."
After hearing what had happened, the white-haired, ruddy old man's brows furrowed deeply.
Without the Lord of the Mortal Emperor Manor, he was the pillar of the Mortal Emperor Manor. It could be said that he had a clear idea of the strength of the various forces.
As for the Nandou Mansion …
"It seems like the Nandou Mansion is going to make a big move …"
The white-haired old man's eyes flashed with a bright light.
He knew the Nandou Mansion far better than others because it was a force full of ambition that had been trying to replace the Mortal Emperor Manor for the past thousands of years. How could he ignore it?
According to the information he received, thousands of years ago, the Nandou Mansion changed its Lord. The new Lord was full of ambition, and it was from him that he began to expand the Nandou Mansion's strength. Until now, there were more than 300 million people in the territory under the Nandou Mansion's control.
That area had almost become the Nandou Mansion's subsidiary forces, almost forming an iron plate. Moreover, it had been expanding outwards. If it wasn't for the Elysium's obstruction these years, the southwest region would have been controlled by the Nandou Mansion.
Even so, the southwest region had become the Nandou Mansion's base camp. The people in that region did not join the Elysium at all. Instead, they chose to join the Nandou Mansion, which doubled the Nandou Mansion's strength.
After thousands of years of accumulation, it had reached a very terrifying level. If a war was launched, almost the entire human race would be in chaos.
"Protector, what do you think?"
Wan Hongwen asked carefully from the side.
The Emperor Mansion's Lord had not returned for a period of time. He was used to appearing and disappearing unpredictably. No one could predict his whereabouts.
"Hmm …"
The white-haired elder's brows furrowed even deeper. His eyes flickered with uncertainty.
Without a doubt, this was a dilemma. Helping Feng Hao was an absolute choice, but it was almost impossible to eradicate the Nandou Mansion, which controlled hundreds of millions of people in an entire region. Even if they used up all the resources of the Emperor Mansion, it was still impossible.
Moreover, even if they eradicated the Nandou Mansion, it would not benefit the human race at all. On the contrary, if the human race was in such a large-scale chaos, the other races would definitely take this opportunity to invade the human race. At that time, the human race would be plunged into misery and suffering. This was not something he wanted to see …
Moreover, if he asked Feng Hao to give up his father … it seemed that it might even cause Feng Hao to be disgusted. For a moment, he also fell into a dilemma.
"Protector, do we directly declare war on the Nandou Mansion, or do we coordinate?"
After a long time, Wan Hongwen finally spoke up.
What he meant was that he wanted to exchange enough benefits for Feng Chen's return. That way, everything would be fine.
"The Nandou Mansion will not let him go."
The white-haired elder sighed softly, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes.
The Nandou Mansion probably did not know Feng Hao's identity yet, which was why they did this. They only wanted to get rid of Feng Hao. If the Emperor Mansion intervened on their behalf, then the Nandou Mansion's spearhead would very likely be the Emperor Mansion.
