Jiang Feng frowned, pondering the ins and outs of this matter. The more he thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed. Could it really be, as he suspected, that the Tianxing Sect was behind all this? However, those in the Imperial City were incredibly well-informed. Even someone like him could have noticed something, so it stood to reason that they couldn't be completely unaware of this!
Jiang Feng was lost in thought, speechless. Zhang Qingde, observing this, spoke up, "Judging from your expression, you must be wondering why the Imperial City has ignored this matter. Actually, from what I understand, there are three powerful factions within the Imperial City, each headed by a trio of princes. Right now, these three princes are preoccupied with fighting for the supreme throne, so naturally, they won't pay much attention to such a seemingly insignificant matter!"
After hearing this, Jiang Feng nodded thoughtfully, but still couldn't help asking, "If that's the case, then the Human Emperor hasn't expressed any intention to pass on the throne yet, so why are they so anxious?"
Zhang Qingde replied solemnly, his voice low and serious, "As for this question, I also heard about it from the Sect Master by chance. It is said that the Human Emperor is very likely to ascend to heaven soon!"
"What!" Jiang Feng cried out in shock. The Human Emperor was about to ascend. This news was like a bolt from the blue, leaving him stunned for a long time. The Human Emperor's reign had been countless years, and his power was unfathomable and terrifying. Rumor had it that only the enigmatic beast King of the Demon Realm was worthy of competing with him.
After calming down a bit, Jiang Feng cast a puzzled look at Zhang Qingde again and asked, "Then why did the Xuanhai Sect go to such great lengths to capture me? Is it related to the Tianxing Sect?"
Zhang Qingde frowned. "I do know about this matter. It has nothing to do with the Tianxing Sect. I was the one who received the visitors from the Imperial Dynasty a few days ago. After they left, the sect began to discuss how to deal with you. However, no one would take a Nascent Soul cultivator whose cultivation level has declined seriously! Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here alone. However, since I haven't been home for so long, the sect will also send someone to come."
Jiang Feng did not expect that it was someone from the dynasty who was against him. If he said the most likely person was the third prince, Huangfu Yuzhao,
Jiang Feng thought for a moment and then said, "Zhang Qingde, the information you provided is indeed very useful. I have decided not to kill you for the time being. You can practice freely in this space. If you perform well, it is not impossible to restore your true body."
Zhang Qingde, who had thought he was about to die, was suddenly delighted when he heard Jiang Feng's words. He had to understand that his cultivation hadn't been easy, and now he had reached the Fusion Stage. He was only one realm away from touching the laws of heaven and earth, or even ascending to immortality. Now that he could live forever, he knelt on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly in gratitude, tears streaming down his face!
In the days that followed, Jiang Feng, Bai Ling, and Song Yunfeng sat together, solemnly discussing their next strategy for dealing with the current situation. They were well aware that the information they currently possessed was far too limited, undoubtedly presenting a significant obstacle to future action. After careful consideration, Jiang Feng resolutely made a crucial decision: he would personally travel to Mingyue City to gather more valuable intelligence.
A few days later, Jiang Feng, Jiang Li, and Jiang Wu embarked on a journey to Mingyue City. They endured hardships along the way, but none of them complained. Finally, they arrived at their destination and quickly found a decent inn to settle down in. After a brief rest, Jiang Li and Jiang Wu, as planned, immediately set out to gather information.
Meanwhile, Jiang Feng, who remained at the inn, was also busy, strolling alone into the bustling streets. His seemingly leisurely stroll was, in reality, filled with worry. He was particularly concerned about the long-missing Hu Sanniang. However, the news he had received from the Qingyun Sect a few days ago was extremely disappointing: no trace of Hu Sanniang had been found. In desperation, Jiang Feng could only pin his hopes on the arrival of Fatty Qiu, hoping his sophisticated divination skills would yield some clues.
As Jiang Feng walked, he unknowingly arrived at a shop. He looked up and saw a dazzling array of goods neatly displayed. After a moment's deliberation, Jiang Feng stepped inside and began carefully selecting the ingredients for his elixir. While the variety here wasn't as extensive as at Tianbao Pavilion, as the saying goes, "something is better than nothing," it would at least help alleviate his immediate needs. Finally, Jiang Feng purchased the necessary materials and prepared to return to try his hand at refining some elixirs, particularly the Soul Pill, which nourished the spirit.
As Jiang Feng was walking towards the inn, a figure on the side of the road caught his attention. It was none other than Liu Fu from Kowloon City, the man who looked after Jiang Feng's property. Liu Fu was dressed in rags, his hair was a mess, and his face was covered in dirt. He was huddled in a street corner like a beggar.
Jiang Feng hurriedly walked forward, squatted down and asked, "Liu Fu, how did you end up in such a situation?" Liu Fu raised his turbid eyes and saw that it was Jiang Feng. A glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and then dimmed. He said in a hoarse voice, "Sir, it's you! Please save my grandson." After that, he kowtowed repeatedly to express his gratitude!
He took out a pill and handed it to Liu Fu, saying, "Take this pill to recuperate first. Tell me everything slowly."
Liu Fu accepted the pill, tears of gratitude welling up in his eyes. Jiang Feng continued, "Don't worry, I'll definitely seek justice for you. Now, follow me back to the inn." He then helped Liu Fu up and walked towards the inn. Meanwhile, a pair of eyes in the dark were watching their every move, a sneer curling up at the corner of their mouth, as if a conspiracy was quietly unfolding.
