When he heard Profound Theory Cultivator telling him to leave, the young prince’s face fell. He did not want to leave. But the old man’s attack had not defeated Qingfeng Li, there was nothing else he could do.
“You just wait!” The young prince glared at Qingfeng Li. “This isn’t over.”
Then, the young prince turned and left the Phoenix Palace with Profound Theory Cultivator in tow.
As for Qingfeng Li, he merely smiled at the young prince’s threat. His expression was calm, and he wasn’t worried at all. If it wasn’t for the Third Princess’ sake, he would have taught the young prince a harsh lesson just now.
What Qingfeng Li intended to do today was find out who the Third Princess really was. Nothing else really mattered to him.
He gazed at the Third Princess and asked a question, “Are you Yaoyao?”
A mix of emotions appeared on the Third Princess’s face as she glanced at Qingfeng Li. She did not remove her veil, but rather turned and walked away.
Qingfeng Li took a step forward, intending to catch up to her, but was stopped by Princess Red-Swallow’s outstretched hand.
“Qingfeng Li,” Princess Red-Swallow said with a smile. “The third princess has other business to attend to. Do not follow any further.”
Qingfeng Li did not pay heed to Princess Red-Swallow. His body moved forward, leaving a trail of mirages. In an instant, he had moved past Princess Red-Swallow and appeared elsewhere.
But in the next moment, Qingfeng Li stopped. In front of him stood an old man. He had a head full of white hair and a face full of wrinkles. It was the grand chamberlain; mysterious, powerful, and a master of array formations.
Qingfeng Li could sense a fierce energy coming from the grand chamberlain, more powerful than even Profound Theory Cultivator he had just met.
Looking at Qingfeng Li, the Grand Chamberlain spoke. “Little guy. That was the Emperor’s orders just now, he has summoned the Third Princess for a meeting. Whatever questions you may have, you can ask them later. I am rather fond of you.”
Then, the Grand Chamberlain’s merged into the void, vanishing from sight.
When Qingfeng Li tried to walk forward again, an invisible barrier appeared, blocking his way. It was an obstructive array formation.
Qingfeng Li furrowed his brows. He hadn’t expected the Grand Chamberlain to have set a barrier before leaving.
Using his own knowledge of arrays, Qingfeng Li looked ahead. He found, however, that this obstructive array formation was in fact a Spirit Supreme Class array. Seeing the Spirit Supreme Class talisman scriptures flickering within, Qingfeng Li knew this would be tough.
Qingfeng Li knew that, if he wanted to decrypt this array formation, it would take at least half an hour. By then, the Third Princess would have long since arrived at the Imperial Palace.
The Imperial Palace itself was completely enveloped in the energy field of a mysterious array formation. Qingfeng Li could not decrypt the array around the Imperial Palace, not without the help of the Dark Night Emperor.
But, for the time being, Qingfeng Li did not intend to enter the Imperial Palace. It was, after all, the domain of the Emperor. According to rumors, the Emperor was very powerful, having reached the third level of Spirit Supreme Realm more than a decade ago. And, in the many years since then, it was highly likely that the Emperor could have had a breakthrough again.
Qingfeng Li turned around. Walking to Li Yang’s side, he lifted her right hand and transfused his own vital essence into her body, calling her back to consciousness.
When Li Yang woke up, she stared up at Qingfeng Li with gratitude. She used to be just a prodigy from the Mercury who had ascended to this high-tier planet. She originally wanted to join a supreme class sect, but those powerful Sects hadn’t wanted her. It was Qingfeng Li who had then saved her life, and so she ended up following him.
To Li Yang, a master of the Supreme Realm was all-powerful. But, today, she realized that there was an all-powerful master right beside her.
Qingfeng Li was astonishingly strong. As a master of the Spirit Emperor Realm, he was able to withstand the attack of a master of the Supreme Realm. If he were to reach the Supreme Realm himself, wouldn’t he then be unmatched by anyone of the same realm?
Li Yang swore to herself that she would follow Qingfeng Li no matter what. Only by his side, could she climb higher. Then, she could return to her home planet, Mercury, and avenge her parents.
Qingfeng Li patted Li Yang’s shoulder. Then, he led her and Black Puppy downstairs.
Inside the Phoenix Palace, everyone looked at Qinfeng Li with reverence. The strong were respected no matter where they went, especially masters like Qingfeng Li, who were capable of standing against a master of the Supreme Realm. He was an absolute monster.
Shortly after Qingfeng Li left the Phoenix Palace, he was stopped by a middle-aged man.
The man was about forty years old; his face was sharp, with thick black eyebrows. He wore clothes made of coarse fabrics and gave off a rough air.
Muscles bulged from his body; each of his arms was as thick as a grown man’s thigh. He was nearly two meters tall and, standing there, he looked like a miniature iron tower, giving off a strong oppressive aura.
Around them, passing self-cultivators were all startled when they saw the man. They either backed away or gave him a wide berth as they passed, not daring to get too close.
Qingfeng Li frowned and a questioning look appeared in his eyes. He could clearly sense that this middle-aged man before him was a master of the Supreme Realm.
As expected of the Imperial City of Lingyun, they could run into another Supreme Realm master so easily. This was unlike more remote areas like Greater Luo City, where self-cultivators were all very weak.
Qingfeng Li stopped walking. Staring at the bulky man before him, he asked, “Who are you? What business do you have with me?”
The middle-aged man smiled, “I’m the Branch Vice-Commander of the Martial Alliance.”
Hearing the words “Martial Alliance,” Qingfeng Li raised an eyebrow. He stared at the man questioningly; he had never heard of this organization before and wondered what they did.
Seeing the expression on Qingfeng Li’s face, the middle-aged man appeared surprised. “Have you never heard of the Martial Alliance?”
Qingfeng Li shook his head, indicating that he didn’t know anything about it, and hadn’t heard of it before.
The bulky man now looked at him like he was a hermit that had just walked out of the wilderness somewhere. He sighed; he hadn’t expected that someone so strong had actually never heard of the Martial Alliance.
“Then I’ll introduce you to the Martial Alliance briefly,” the man put on a smile as he spoke with an air of pride. “The Martial Alliance is one of the superpowers of the Crimson Fire Continent. Our Commander-in-Chief is the most powerful Spirit Royal Realm master. We have branches in every Imperial Court and Imperial City across the land. Only prodigies with the greatest physical strength are invited into our ranks.”
Hearing the bulky man’s words, Qingfeng Li suddenly understood; he had a basic idea of what this Martial Alliance was.
He had long known that, where there were people, there would also be differing interests; and where there were interests, there was conflict. Conflicts led to groups being formed, and those groups knotted together like the interwoven roots of an ancient tree.
Earlier, Qingfeng Li had used his physical strength to contest the young prince’s blade technique. He had then withstood a blow from a master of the Supreme Realm. Therefore, he had been put into the sights of many of the organizations within the Imperial City.
The first to appear was the Martial Alliance; they were a group that was focused on physical prowess. They had an insatiable desire for physical strength, and Qingfeng Li had met their standards.
