Rise of the Great Emperor Chapter 340: Marquis Hu

Chapter 340: Marquis Hu

However, there was still a gap in their story because they could use soul search to investigate Pei Chuan's soul directly. At that moment, they would be able to find out that Hu Fei was indeed very powerful.
Though, Hu Fei was not bothered. He would leave with his teacher within a month's time since it would be time for him to practice outside these small four kingdoms.
Even if they knew he had some secrets, it would no longer be that important anymore in near future.
As for the direct fight with Mu Xiao Ya, they would need to search Lei Xing Yi's soul for that but she could simply pass it to Prince Lin Yan. After all, it was also the truth that the one who fought against Mu Xiao Ya was neither her nor him.
Those elders wouldn't be able to do anything.
"Let's go."
Hu Fei waved his hand and they walked a distance away before he activated his Teleportation device.
Swish!
Despite the frustration of the elders there, they didn't dare to do anything but watch as Hu Fei disappeared with his friends.
"We're back…" Hu Fei's words stopped in the middle because he could sense a kind of oppressive pressure. He gulped down his saliva and looked at the others. "I….I'll be back…."
Swoosh!
Watching Hu Fei rushing out, Lin Xiao was perplexed. "Why is he running in the opposite direction?"
Opposite direction?
Prince Lin Yan turned his head to the back as his lips curled up to form a sneer. As he had expected, Hu Fei was still a coward in front of his oppressive father. Well, it was a good thing for him though.
Looking at the other side of the room, they saw a middle aged man walked inside. He looked like he was in the middle of contemplation but the powerful gaze he had prevented others from looking away from him. The servants didn't dare to raise their head and their body trembled just from having him walked near them.
Prince Lin Yan cupped his hand. "Marquis Hu."
The middle aged man, Marquis Hu, raised his head and looked at Prince Lin Yan. His gaze deepened. "My son troubled you once more, Prince Yan."
"It's nothing like that. I'm also the one who asked him for help." Prince Lin Yan kept his composure.
However, Lin Xiao and the others could naturally feel the oppressive power coming from Marquis Hu. It was far more than any other cultivators they have met before… no, it reminded Lin Xiao to the time when he met with Ye Jian and that mysterious man who were in the forest.
Was Marquis Hu truly someone at Golden Core Stage 3?
He was not the only one to think that way because Lin Xiao noticed that Princess Lan Yi Hua was also staring at the marquis deeply. In the past, she had seen him from a distance away but the pressure he gave off… was never this much.
Her father was also at Golden Core Stage 3, so naturally she knew this feeling very well. It was as if she was facing a cultivator that was far above Golden Core Stage 3. One that had stepped into the middle or even the high state of Golden Core Stage.
But…. Shouldn't it be impossible for one to make their breakthrough to Golden Core Stage 4 in this place?
Marquis Hu lowered his gaze and looked in Princess Lan Yi Hua's direction. His pupil showed surprise. "I never expected the little princess to come out to play."
He knew?
Lin Xiao was instantly on guard. Even when they were meeting Hu Fei before, the man didn't manage to recognize Princess Lan Yi Hua's real identity. He accepted her fake identity without asking so much because of Prince Lin Yan.
But this man… could see through Princess Lan Yi Hua's guise in just a gaze.
Princess Lan Yi Hua took a deep breath and opened her hood. Her beautiful and breathtaking face could be seen clearly. Even with the bang covered her complexion, when she looked up, her fair complexion was still one that could bring down cities.
"It's been a while, Marquis Hu."
"Yes, it is." Marquis Hu nodded, clearly not expecting to see Princess Lan Yi Hua in this group. Even if he already knew about their appearance since his son was close with Prince Lin Yan, he would never dream of seeing Princess Lan Yi Hua in their group.
His eyes landed on Lin Xiao as he could see the distance between him and Princess Lan Yi Hua was the shortest. It was clear that the two of them must be close to each other. Being a careful person, Princess Lan Yi Hua would not get close to anyone in normal situation.
Princess Lan Yi Hua looked at Marquis Hu. "Please keep this a secret from my father."
"Naturally."
He agreed just like that?
Lin Xiao was still stupefied but Princess Lan Yi Hua had already covered her face with her hood once more. It seemed that she was also being careful when she was dealing with Marquis Hu.
Prince Lin Yan waited and pointed to the direction where Hu Fei had left. "I still need a help from your son to fulfill his promise of making the weapon. Would you mind if I borrow him for some time?"
Lin Xiao glanced at Xia Ye and the latter nodded. It seemed that Xia Ye also managed to find a precious metal of dark element when he was in the Secret Region just now. Since that was the case, it was all good for them.
Thinking that he would finally have a specialized weapon made Lin Xiao a teeny bit excited.
Marquis Hu let out a faint laugh. "For someone of his stature, do you think that my son will be able to forge strong enough weapon?"
Prince Lin Yan's pupil constricted as he looked at Marquis Hu carefully. "Marquis Hu, are you suggesting that…"
"His Master will come tomorrow. Ask him to forge the weapon for that young boy."
