The imperial palace of the Nandou Nation.
Over the past year, the sky above the Nandou Nation Imperial Palace seemed to be filled with an invisible pressure, causing the entire palace to feel oppressive.
There were many emperors in the Cangye Kingdom and they were all willing to get close to the Cangye Kingdom. Ye Futian was being fought over by the top forces of the Eastern Barren Territory. All of this was a huge stone in the hearts of everyone in the Nandou Nation Imperial Palace.
Emperor Luo felt extremely pressured. Thus, he had been cultivating for the past year, waiting for an opportunity. After the events of last year had faded and he had become stronger, he would go to the center of the Eastern Barren Territory and eliminate Ye Futian. He could wait for the best opportunity. He would never let Ye Futian grow.
At this time, in the sky above the Nandou Nation Imperial Palace, a group of strong cultivators flew over. Many people in the palace looked up. When they saw the young man in the middle, they were overjoyed.
"The Crown Prince is back."
"It's Jun Lin who has returned with the King and Nobles."
Countless people lifted their heads. At this moment, it was as if a huge rock that was pressing down on their hearts was about to fall off.
Crown Prince Luo Junlin had returned with so many Nobles. What did this mean?
In an instant, there were people running around the palace. It was as if the silence had suddenly become lively.
At this time, a figure appeared in the air. It was Emperor Luo. He looked at Luo Junlin and the other nobles and said, "Junlin, you're back."
"Father," Luo Junlin shouted. "This is my teacher and the elders from the Royal Xuan Temple."
He Yulu, the fifth lord of the Royal Xuan Temple, came personally. He wanted to see Luo Junlin kill Ye Futian with his own eyes.
If he couldn't kill Ye Futian, he would just watch as Luo Junlin was killed.
Emperor Luo's heart skipped a beat. He had heard from Luo Junlin last year that his master was the fifth lord of the Royal Xuan Temple, an important figure in the Eastern Barren Territory. Now, he was here in person.
"Greetings, Fifth Palace Master." Emperor Luo was very polite and humble. Although he was an emperor, he was nothing in front of the important figures of the Royal Xuan Temple.
He Yulu merely glanced at him and said, "You may leave."
"Yes, Master." Luo Junlin nodded. He wasn't in a good mood. These days, he had been watched. He couldn't escape this battle.
Emperor Luo's eyes flashed. It seemed that Luo Junlin's teacher wasn't very happy.
"Where's Miss Xirou?" Emperor Luo asked Luo Junlin. He knew that He Xirou was the daughter of the fifth lord and Luo Junlin's girlfriend. She had been very polite to him before and he liked her very much.
"Father." Luo Junlin shouted. He Yulu stopped in his tracks and stared coldly at Emperor Luo. Emperor Luo's heart skipped a beat. He had a bad feeling about this.
Could it be that Luo Junlin came back because something happened?
He Yulu walked down into the palace. Emperor Luo and Luo Junlin followed behind. The atmosphere was a little tense. Luo Junlin walked beside his father and said, "Father, Ye Futian asked me to fight in the Nandou Nation."
Emperor Luo's eyes sharpened. Ye Futian challenging Luo Junlin?
It had only been a year and Ye Futian was already able to fight against his son, Luo Junlin?
Moreover, Ye Futian was the one who proposed the battle. Did this mean that Luo Junlin was the passive party?
"Where's Xirou?" Emperor Luo asked telepathically. He sensed something unusual.
"Xirou," Luo Junlin murmured. "Xirou fought against Ye Futian for me and was persecuted by Ye Futian's clan. She was forced to death. I will avenge her."
Emperor Luo abruptly stopped in his tracks. His heart trembled violently and his face turned slightly pale.
Xirou had been forced to death!
But her father, an important figure from the Royal Xuan Temple, had brought Luo Junlin here to accept Ye Futian's challenge.
How could he not understand what this meant?
Did Ye Futian already have the ability to force He Xirou, the daughter of the Royal Xuan Temple, to death?
Also, why did Ye Futian choose the Nandou Nation to challenge Luo Junlin?
At this moment, Emperor Luo thought of many things. He remembered that when Luo Junlin and Minister Hua reported to him about Ye Futian, he casually wrote an edict and sent it to the City of Donghai.
At that time, he said that all lands under the heavens belonged to the emperor.
In the Nandou Nation, his will was the will of the heavens.
He wanted Ye Futian to be his slave and Hua Jieyu to be his wife.
However, it had only been two years. When he heard Ye Futian's name again, he actually felt a chill.
The people in the palace did not know why Luo Junlin had returned. They were still discussing the matter enthusiastically and seemed very excited. Moreover, their voices constantly spread out of the palace.
Not long after, Minister Hua stepped into the palace. His steps were vigorous and majestic.
His eyes were sharp and there was a smile in his eyes. Had the Crown Prince returned with the nobles?
This was really exciting news.
At the same time, in a courtyard in the palace. This courtyard was very remote and was located at the edge of the palace. It was slightly dilapidated and no one cleaned it. It was hard to imagine that such a luxurious palace would have a courtyard like this.
However, at this moment, an extremely beautiful woman walked into the courtyard. The guards outside bowed and greeted her, "Princess."
The woman was the princess of the Nandou Nation. Now, she was no longer the young girl from before. Slender and elegant, her figure was curvaceous and graceful. She exuded a cold and noble beauty.
In the dilapidated courtyard, there was a figure sitting quietly on an old rocking chair. He seemed very relaxed. He stared at the sky in a daze as if he did not feel the princess's arrival.
"Master, I've come to see you," the princess called. The figure in front was Minister Zuo of the Nandou Nation. He was under house arrest in the palace.
"Girl, I told you not to come to see me in the future. Otherwise, His Majesty will be unhappy," Minister Zuo said.
"Brother is back from the Royal Xuan Temple. He brought the nobles from there," she said.
"I saw." Minister Zuo's voice was still calm without any emotion.
"Master, do you still believe in your prophecy?" she asked again. "Apologize to father and I will ask him to forgive you."
Minister Zuo smiled and shook his head. "Silly girl, this is not a sign of Nandou's prosperity. Look at the sky."
With that, he raised his arm and pointed at the sky. "How red, like blood."
She raised her head to look at the sky and sighed in her heart. "Teacher, take care."
With that, she turned and left. She had tried her best but could not convince anyone.
Minister Zuo still looked at the sky with a smile. She brought this on herself.
The news spread quickly in the Hundred Lands. On the second day of Luo Junlin's return, many emperors from the surrounding kingdoms came to visit the Nandou Nation.
When He Xirou came, many emperors came. Now, the nobles from the Royal Xuan Temple came in person. It was even rumored that a lord of the temple had come.
In the past year, many emperors had gotten close to the Cangye Kingdom. They were worried that Emperor Luo would come after them.
These emperors of the Hundred Lands did not know the current situation in the center of the Eastern Barren Territory. They also did not know why Luo Junlin had returned with nobles.
Ever since Luo Junlin entered the Royal Xuan Temple and the door to the Ancient Barren World opened, the Hundred Lands had been in a period of turmoil. No one wanted to become a sacrifice in this storm. They wanted to move forward.
Under these circumstances, how could they not pay a visit when the important figures from the Royal Xuan Temple came?
Thus, the entire Nandou palace and even the imperial city was immersed in a festive atmosphere. It was as if the Nandou Nation was ushering in a golden age.
More than a year ago, the Nandou Nation had lost all face at the Tingfeng Banquet. Now that the crown prince had returned, could they finally hold their heads high?
Emperor Luo received the visiting emperors normally. He drank and chatted with them. He already knew what had happened from Luo Junlin but he did not announce it to the public. In fact, only a few people in the palace knew.
In contrast to the atmosphere in the Nandou Nation, the Cangye Kingdom was very depressed after hearing the news.
Many people were worried, especially in the Cangye Kingdom palace.
Luo Junlin had come with nobles. He had clearly come prepared. He could not have come to the Nandou Nation as guests. Then, what was it for?
To destroy Cangye?
Some people guessed that something had happened to Ye Futian in the Eastern Barren Territory.
Or, Ye Futian, Ye Wuchen, and the others who went to the Eastern Barren Territory were not valued by their elders and had no authority. Luo Junlin, on the other hand, had come first with nobles.
This possibility was very high. After all, Ye Futian and the others were of low cultivation. Luo Junlin's plane was higher and he already had an important figure's daughter as his girlfriend.
At this time, in the Cangye Kingdom palace, Emperor Ye heard the news and frowned.
"Father, I've found out. It's a lord of the Royal Xuan Temple, the father of Luo Junlin's girlfriend and also his master," Ye Danchen said.
"Luo Junlin can already mobilize such powerful forces?" Emperor Ye was worried.
If these people attacked Cangye, they would not be able to fight back.
"Father, should we rush to the center of the Eastern Barren Territory and find out what's going on there?" Ye Lingxi asked softly.
"If they really attack, I'm afraid it'll be too late. I hope Futian and the others are fine." Emperor Ye thought of Ye Futian and the others. They were so outstanding. Nothing should happen to them.
"Brother Ye." At this time, a voice sounded. A group of people entered. It was the emperors of Yunchu and the Yan Kingdom. They had stayed in Cangye under Ye Futian's orders and listened to Emperor Ye.
Emperor Ye frowned. They dared to barge in? Moreover, they did not usually have such an attitude.
"Brother Ye, I heard that Luo Junlin came personally with the lord of the Royal Xuan Temple," Emperor Chu said to Emperor Ye.
"And then?" Emperor Ye raised an eyebrow.
"Brother Ye, in this situation, we are preparing to leave Cangye temporarily. I'm sure you don't mind," Emperor Chu continued. In such a situation, if the Royal Xuan Temple attacked Cangye, they would be buried with Cangye if they stayed here.
