By this time, news of Long Junhai's actions had reached the Imperial Palace, causing the Emperor to be furious. However, despite his anger, he was also somewhat apprehensive. Long Junhai's ability to defeat Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong in a row clearly indicated that his strength was definitely above the late Xuanxian stage! Perhaps even close to the peak of Xuanxian! A master of this strength was truly not easy to deal with!
"My dear ministers, what do you think about what happened on Chang'an Avenue?" asked Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, frowning.
"Reporting to the emperor, although this person's strength level is apparently at the peak of the celestial immortal, his actual combat power is close to the peak of the mysterious immortal! In this case, we can only send out masters at the level of the Saint Venerable Daoist Ancestor." Someone reported from below.
"Hmph, how could the Holy Lord Daozu be dispatched so easily? Even if I were the emperor, I couldn't dispatch masters of that level at will. First of all, I have to have a legitimate reason, and it also depends on whether others are willing. Is there no one in the Xuanxian realm of the Tang Dynasty who dares to accept the challenge?" Emperor Xuanzong of Tang looked at the civil and military officials in the Golden Palace. They were basically all at the Xuanxian realm, but no one stood up to accept the challenge after this. This made him very angry. This was clearly a lack of face for him. If it were Emperor Taizong of Tang, I'm afraid these people would have rushed out to accept the challenge long ago!
Seeing that there was still no response from below, Emperor Xuanzong sighed and called out, "Grand Marshal Xue, as the Grand Marshal of the Tang Dynasty, are you going to watch the murderer on Chang'an Street go unpunished?"
Xue Rengui knew that the other party would definitely call his name first, so he had already thought of an excuse in his mind: "Your Majesty, my original soul is fighting enemies in the immortal and demon battlefield, so my clone is not suitable to fight. Otherwise, I would have taken action to kill this villain long ago!"
Emperor Xuanzong of Tang glanced helplessly at the sallow-faced man again, then said, "General Qin, you didn't send a clone to the Immortal Demon Battlefield, did you? Let's leave this matter to General Qin, shall we?"
"Reporting to the emperor, I have just asked General Cheng and General Yuchi, and learned that the criminals have an innate spiritual treasure in their hands, which can be used to steal other people's treasures! Although I am not afraid of the opponent in terms of martial arts, without Shuangjian, I can't exert even 10% of my strength! It is better to let the masters of literature and Taoism deal with the criminals!" Qin Qiong declined, because he knew that even if he went, he would not have much chance of winning. After all, his martial arts value was only slightly stronger than Yuchi Gong.
Emperor Xuanzong snorted coldly and said to the officials below, "Since that's the case, I'll have to trouble you, the nobles who cultivate the Way of Literature. Who can capture the criminals? Li Aiqing, are you willing to help?"
"Your Majesty, it's just a petty thief. Is it necessary to worry so much? I will kill this beast right now! Then give me my sword!"
As soon as Li Bai finished speaking, Cheng Yaojin beside him said with a smile: "Master Li, I am not afraid of your sword. It is useless!"
"Hmm? In that case, bring me my wine gourd! After I finish drinking a pot of wine, I will make sure this beast is reduced to ashes!" Li Bai said very confidently.
Emperor Taizong was speechless. If Li Bai were to drink, how could he still arrest the criminals? They would probably tear down his throne room!
"Forget it, forget it. Drinking will lead to mistakes. Let's let... Du Fu. You are the most steady in doing things, so you should go." Emperor Taizong of Tang said after thinking for a while.
"Okay, Your Majesty, please give me three years to prepare. I will make a perfect plan and make it impossible for the other party to escape!" Du Fu said seriously.
Tang Xuanzong was helpless and shook his head, saying, "Forget it, you've been too busy lately. How about handing this matter over to... to Di Renjie?"
"Hmm? This? I'm afraid that's inappropriate, Your Majesty?"
Di Renjie immediately ran up and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, I'm currently working on a major case, so I'm afraid I can't do this!"
"Okay, okay, okay, you all have excuses. How about letting me do it myself?" Tang Xuanzong roared angrily.
Everyone knew that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was angry, but what happened on Chang'an Street this time was too unusual. Everyone present was a person who had cultivated their luck, so naturally they didn't want to get involved. If their own luck was damaged as a result, it would be difficult to turn things around in the future!
Finally, Fang Xuanling spoke up, "Your Majesty, there's no need to be so angry. This matter is unusual, so we need to reconsider it. The fact that a celestial being possesses an innate spiritual treasure shows that their luck is extremely strong. Acting rashly may not be worth the cost. Therefore, I suggest that we let the local forces resolve this matter."
"Hmm? You mean to hand it over to the children of aristocratic families? These people never care about state affairs, and I'm afraid they won't do it?" Although the children of aristocratic families are of little use, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang doesn't want them to get involved. After all, basically those children of aristocratic families have a close relationship with the Li family. If it affects the fortune of the Tang Dynasty again, it will not be worth it!
"That's not what I meant. I was talking about the Wang family. The Wang family was originally a local bully and has always regarded itself as one of the four major families. The ancestor of the Wang family has been unlucky in recent years and has reached a point of desperation. If we let them solve this matter, regardless of success or failure, it will be a complete solution." Fang Xuanling said with a smile.
"Well, this is a good idea. If the Wang family is obedient, then give them a chance to turn things around. If they can't even deal with a celestial being, then it means that the Wang family's luck has run out!" Tang Xuanzong can only use the Wang family as cannon fodder for an experiment. If he doesn't do this, the entire Tang Dynasty may very likely change its destiny because of Long Junhai.
Luck is a mysterious thing. The imperial tutor Yuan Tiangang once said that the Tang Dynasty would have a major turning point in his generation, so its success or failure might very well depend on this one move!
In recent years, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang has been on pins and needles, and has been working diligently on state affairs, not daring to be negligent in the slightest. Long Junhai is the second person since the founding of the country who dared to cause such a big disturbance in Chang'an City, so he must take it seriously and cannot make any mistakes!
The content of the meeting in the Golden Palace was soon passed on to the Wang family. The ancestor of the Wang family knelt on the ground to receive the imperial edict. Even if he was a person who had reached the realm of a half-step saint, he had to obey, otherwise he could exterminate all nine clans with one imperial edict!
"Sir Wang, why did the emperor let our Wang family come forward this time?" The ancestor of the Wang family knelt on the ground and said tremblingly.
"Hmph, don't you have a brain? The fortune of the Wang family has been plummeting over the years. Haven't you investigated clearly what went wrong? This is the last chance the emperor has given to the Wang family. If you can't do it well, then there will be no more Wang family like you in Chang'an City! If it weren't for the fact that I also have the surname Wang and have some connection with you, who would be so kind to remind you? I, Wang Anshi, have said all I want to say. It's up to you to decide whether you are willing to do so." After Wang Anshi finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and walked out.
