All the people from Burning Heaven Sect retreated.
More than two thousand elite disciples and eight super-powerful Tianxuan Realm masters, under the huge deterrence brought by Yun Che alone, withdrew in disgrace and without dignity.
In terms of combat power, although Yun Che was shocking, he was not enough to threaten the Burning Heaven Sect's team. However, his various tricks that made people unable to defend themselves, coupled with his ruthless and cruel methods, completely defeated the psychological defenses of the Burning Heaven Sect. In the end, Yun Che threw Fen Jue City back to them openly, which made them even more cautious and dared not act rashly.
The Burning Heaven Sect's wedding procession failed to bring back Princess Cang Yue, and instead lost two hundred disciples, and Fen Juecheng was also seriously injured... and all of this was witnessed by countless people present, and their face and reputation were completely lost. On the contrary, Yun Che, who forced the huge Burning Heaven Sect into such a situation, severely shook everyone's mind and soul.
This almost deified figure not only came back alive, but was also much, much stronger than the rumors said! Those "deified" versions that used to sound exaggerated and ridiculous were now clearly severely weakened!
At such a young age, he had already forced back the Burning Heaven Sect, a huge sect that was like a god in the eyes of ordinary people, and defeated the top-level masters Fen Moran and Fen Duancang. His future heights were simply unimaginable! No wonder Princess Cang Yue fell in love with him, no wonder even the Ice Moon Fairy Xia Qingyue would be his wife... Even the matter with Chu Yuechan seemed to be not so difficult to accept at this time.
“Junior Brother Yun!!”
Cang Yue rushed over, hugged Yun Che tightly, buried her head in his chest and cried and laughed, not caring about the royal princess's appearance and the eyes of the people around her. During the time when Yun Che was "dead", her whole world was dim, and now she could hug him so realistically and warmly, she felt that she had nothing more to ask for.
“Haha.” Cang Wanhe laughed, and his smile was even more comfortable and relieved than when he learned that he won the first place in the ranking battle: “As expected of my daughter, Yue’er has a good vision.”
"Yes, in this regard, Your Highness the Princess is better than you, Your Majesty." Dongfang Xiu said with a smile.
“Hahahaha…” Cang Wanhe was not angry at all when he heard that. Instead, he laughed happily. However, he just laughed twice and then burst into a rapid cough.
“The result of today’s incident was completely beyond my expectations.” Dongfang Xiu looked at Yun Che and sighed, “Even I am not qualified to speculate and judge this boy’s future achievements. After what happened today, he will undoubtedly become a person that Burning Heaven Sect must kill, but for some reason, I am not worried about him at all. Instead, I am worried about Burning Heaven Sect.”
“I, too.” Cang Wanhe smiled on his pale face, then closed his eyes and sighed silently: “Unfortunately, I won’t be able to see the day when he becomes famous all over the world… I only hope that he can take good care of Yue’er, so that even if the royal family falls into chaos, I will have fewer regrets and concerns… Dongfang Xiu, please help me personally invite Yun Che to the palace for a chat.”
"Everyone should go away."
The royal guards went out to gradually disperse the dense crowd of onlookers. Cang Wanhe had rarely shown up since he became seriously ill, and even those living in the imperial city could not see him at all. But when Cang Wanhe appeared in front of everyone, everyone's focus was not on him, but on Yun Che with an extremely shocked, horrified, worshipful, and even fanatical look... They had originally come to see the princess get married, but they did not expect to see such a major event that would surely shock the empire.
——————————————
The princess's wedding day was a very unlucky day, but the palace was full of joy and happiness. Cang Wanhe was obviously in a very good mood today, and his face was no longer gloomy as usual. As soon as he returned to the palace, he ordered a grand reward for the whole palace.
Yun Che and Cang Yue followed Cang Wanhe's carriage side by side, bearing countless fanatical gazes all the way into the palace. As soon as they entered the palace, they met the Third Prince Cang Shuo who was hurriedly walking out. Seeing Yun Che and Cang Yue returning side by side, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed... But if they met head-on, he would not be able to avoid them even if he wanted to, so he could only bite the bullet and put on a gentle smile on his face: "Royal sister, you are back. This little brother Yun... your performance today is really eye-opening and amazing."
"This is my third brother." Cang Yue said simply, with no emotion in his voice.
“Oh!” Yun Che looked as if he had suddenly realized something, and said with a smile, “So it’s the famous Third Prince. My apologies. I remember that the Third Prince returned to the palace not long before us, and now he is in a hurry to leave the palace again. But what’s the important matter? Is there anything I, Yun Che, can help you with?”
Seeing the faint smile on Yun Che's face, Cang Shuo's heart suddenly shuddered, and his hair tingled. He had seen the entire battle between Yun Che and Burning Heaven Sect before. This seemingly harmless Yun Che could even beat the young master of Burning Heaven Sect like a dog without blinking an eye. His identity as a prince of the royal family probably meant nothing to him. If he was displeased, killing him would probably be no different from killing a chicken.
Cang Shuo quickly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I just have some unimportant personal matters to deal with, so there is no need for Brother Yun to worry about it."
"Oh... He does all the insignificant little things himself. The Third Prince is really hardworking and capable, a model of the royal family!" Yun Che said with a smile. Cang Shuo was not only one of the culprits who caused the royal family's turmoil, but he was also the one who facilitated the marriage between Fen Juecheng and Cang Yue. Of course, he had no good feelings towards Cang Shuo.
How could Cang Shuo not hear the irony in his words? He immediately laughed dryly: "Brother Yun, you are too kind. I have something else to do, so I will leave you for now. I will definitely come back another day..."
“Oh, I have a question that I would like to ask the Third Prince for his opinion on.” Yun Che did not give him the opportunity to leave immediately, and said with a smile: “I admire your imperial sister Cang Yue very much, and I want to stay with her for the rest of my life. I wonder what the Third Prince thinks?”
Cang Shuo's face froze, then he immediately showed a look of joy: "Brother Yun is a well-deserved dragon among men, no one in the world can compare to him! As the emperor's elder brother, I have long seen that the emperor's younger sister has long been in love with you. If Brother Yun can tie the knot with the emperor's younger sister, it will naturally be a match made in heaven, and it will be a good story that will be passed down through the ages. It is also a hundred-year blessing for our royal family to have such an outstanding person as Senior Brother Yun! As the prince and the emperor's elder brother of Cang Yue, I naturally fully support it."
"So, the Third Prince means that he thinks I am more worthy of Princess Cang Yue than Fen Juecheng?"
"Of course." Cang Shuo said calmly, "What kind of person is Fen Juecheng? He is just a waste who can only rely on the sect. Compared with Senior Brother Yun, there is a world of difference. If I were not afraid of the power of the Burning Heaven Sect and did not want to create a powerful enemy for the royal family... I would stop Fen Juecheng's delusion even if I died. Fortunately, Brother Yun showed up in time to prevent the royal sister from marrying such a waste. I also breathed a sigh of relief."
"..." As expected of him, he is the only one among all the princes who can fight against Crown Prince Canglin. His thick skin, quick response, and ability to speak to people in a way that suits them are simply amazing and unparalleled. Yun Che couldn't help but feel a strong sense of admiration for him. He grabbed Cangyue's hand and said with a smile: "I feel relieved when the Third Prince said that. When Cangyue and I get married one day, the Third Prince must not forget to come to the wedding."
After saying that, without waiting for Cang Shuo to reply, he walked into the palace gate with Cang Yue without looking back. Cang Shuo turned around, looked at his back, sneered, and whispered: "You fool who doesn't know how to live or die, you provoke the Burning Heaven Sect like this, do you really think you can live too long!"
After returning to the palace, Cang Wanhe got off the imperial carriage and said to Yun Che with relief: "Yun Che, you are still alive, which is a great blessing. When you won the first place in the ranking battle for the royal family, the glory of the royal family that had been silent for many years was revived. I was overjoyed, but what followed was the sad news that you had fallen. During this period of time, I often sighed with regret. Although Yue'er behaved normally in front of me, how could I not see that she was in great pain inside. Fortunately, you came back alive. Even if I die now, I will be at peace."
"Father!" Cang Yue said anxiously, "Now that we have the Soul-Burning Flower and Junior Brother Yun is back, your illness will surely be cured soon..."
“Your Majesty, your words are too polite. I just hope that what happened today will not bring any trouble to the royal family.” Yun Che said humbly.
"Haha!" Cang Wanhe laughed loudly and said, "You can rest assured about this. Although the power of the royal family is not as strong as those transcendent sects, they can't just move it whenever they want. Moreover, they can't blame the royal family for what happened today. I can use the excuse that they failed to protect the princess and caused trouble when she got married, thus hurting the reputation of the royal family. Yun Che, what are your plans for the future? If you don't have any plans, how about staying in the palace for the time being? Or, go back to Cangfeng Xuanfu?"
“Forget about returning to Cangfeng Xuanfu.” Dongfang Xiu laughed bitterly: “Although Yun Che’s profound strength is only at the Earth Profound Realm, his combat power is even better than Qin Wushang. If he returns to Xuanfu, with his talent, even if he becomes the Palace Master, it would be a bit unfair to him.”
Yun Che shook his head and said, “Within three days, the Burning Heaven Sect will surely launch an assassination attempt on me. If I stay here, it will only bring danger to the royal family. As for where to go next, I already have a plan. Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty.”
Cang Wanhe did not insist and nodded: "Okay! Since you dare to attack the Burning Heaven Sect ruthlessly, I believe you must have a countermeasure. At the beginning, you won the honor of the first place in the ranking battle for the royal family. I originally planned to hold a three-day banquet for you, but it failed. Let's make up for it today. Come, pass the order..."
“Wait!” Yun Che raised his hand and said, “I appreciate the emperor’s kindness. Because of the Burning Heaven Sect, I must leave here as soon as possible. I don’t have much time left, so I must first resolve some important matters… For now, let me cure your illness.”
Cang Wanhe's whole body was shaken, and Dongfang Xiu's face also showed obvious excitement. Cang Wanhe said excitedly: "You... are you really sure you can remove the poison from my body now?"
It is hard to say what the root cause of the royal turmoil was, but it was because of his serious illness.
If he can recover and take back power, with his remaining prestige over the past few decades, those wavering or neutral forces will surely come back behind him. By then, Cang Lin and Cang Shuo will have nothing to fear, and the ambitions of Fentian Sect and Xiao Sect will be forcibly crushed.
"Junior Brother Yun once said that as long as we can find the Soul-Burning Flower, we will be able to heal our father. Now that we have obtained the Soul-Burning Flower, Junior Brother Yun will definitely be able to do it." Cangyue said excitedly.
Yun Che nodded and smiled, “I am indeed 100% sure… However, there is no need to use the Soul Burning Flower. The Soul Burning Flower is one of the betrothal gifts from the Burning Heaven Sect this time, so it is better to return all of them to avoid being criticized.”
