Chapter 917: The Bamboo Monarch’s Rage

Xia Chen understood where the Bamboo Monarch was coming from. Thus, the real reason he was standing there was to stop every person, including Cicada Song.
At that moment, a streak of black metal flashed across the sky, and a man in iron armor appeared next to Cicada Song.
The man in iron armor said to Xia Chen, “Take me to see the Bamboo Monarch.”
Xia Chen shook his head and replied, “My Master said that the Purple Bamboo Forest would no longer be receiving guests. You are no exception, Lord Iron Prison. If you would like to take a seat to rest, I can prepare our specialty Bamboo River Tea for you.”
Iron Prison’s expression hardened as he said, “The Bamboo Monarch might not be seeing guests, but I insist on meeting with him.”
While Iron Prison was speaking, Xia Chen grinned and said, “Lord Iron Prison, please don’t make things difficult for my Master or me.”
Xia Chen manipulated his aura, but instead of aiming it at Iron Prison and Cicada Song, he used it to secure the entrance of the Purple Bamboo Forest.
This was a declaration of Xia Chen’s stance.
As the Bamboo Monarch’s first disciple, Xia Chen had outstanding powers. However, Iron Prison did not seem to worry about Xia Chen.
Iron Prison scoffed and was about to take a step forward when a hand on his shoulder stopped him.
Cicada Song sighed and thought, Iron Prison is always so impulsive. He can even turn a good thing into something bad.
When he noticed Iron Prison’s look of confusion, Cicada Song said, “Many of our old friends who were at the Midnight Palace should be making their way to the Purple Bamboo Forest. Even if the Bamboo Monarch refuses to see guests, he won’t have a choice when so many of us are out here waiting for him.”
Iron Prison stopped trying to walk forward.
Xia Chen maintained his aura, but he was soon faced with six members of royalty.
Cicada Song said to a stout middle-aged man, “Tian Feng, I’m surprised you left your Cultivated Garden!”
Cicada Song frowned slightly. Tian Feng had never been on good terms with the Bamboo Monarch. In fact, the two of them could even be said to be rivals.
Hence, it was surprising for Tian Feng to show up at the Purple Bamboo Garden at such a time.
Tian Feng turned his gaze to the Purple Bamboo Forest and said, “Tower Canon’s hundred-year plan ‘The Sleeper’s Revival’ is almost upon us. The Bamboo Monarch has to recover his health.”
Tian Feng immediately made his motives clear and ignored Xia Chen as he shouted, “Bamboo Monarch, six of your old friends are here waiting for you. If you don’t come out to see us, we’ll just have to go to you.”
Tian Feng’s shouts resounded throughout the entire Purple Bamboo Forest, frightening some of the phoenixes and carp that lived in the forest.
Some Golden Thearch Bamboo deep in the forest suddenly released the aura of spiritual power.
Xia Chen’s gaze darkened as he looked at Tian Feng. However, Tian Feng’s actions made Xia Chen let out a sigh of relief.
The Bamboo Monarch’s brow furrowed when he heard what Tian Feng said. He then looked kindly at Wang Fuxiang and said softly, “Xiangxiang, wait here for me.”
The Bamboo Monarch’s spiritual energy bubbled, and a child with green hair dressed in green clothes appeared in front of him.
He said to the child, “Green Mindful, watch over Sister Xiang. If anyone steps through the door and past the two Bamboo Crane Prosperity Fairy Furnaces, kill them without mercy.”
Green Mindful’s black eyes turned green, and worlds seemed to take form inside its pupils, giving off the air of infallibility.
The child called Green Mindful said obediently, “Okay, Big Brother Bamboo. I will be good and stay here to protect Sister Xiang.”
The Bamboo Monarch said softly to Wang Fuxiang, “Don’t do anything stupid and just wait for me.”
The Bamboo Monarch disappeared from the cottage.
Green Mindful politely greeted Wang Fuxiang and laid out several dishes on the table for her before standing by her side like a child guard.
Wang Fuxiang had been hiding her identity as a spirit qi professional in Langya Pavilion and conducted business as a normal human.
Although she was actually a spirit qi professional, she was still weaker than Bamboo Monarch’s feys. She would not be able to do anything stupid with Green Mindful around even if she wanted to.
What the Bamboo Monarch said about showing no mercy made Wang Fuxiang once again aware of how certain the Bamboo Monarch was about her.
Meanwhile, the Bamboo Monarch’s figure appeared next to Xia Chen. At that moment, Chef Supreme arrived at the Purple Bamboo Forest.
Initially, Chef Supreme had wanted to bring Li Changlin, Zhang Yingying, and Zong Ze.
But after receiving the call from the Moon Empress, he had made more haste, leaving the other three behind.
However, he did not expect the other six to have arrived before him and to have called the Bamboo Monarch out.
The Bamboo Monarch nodded at Chef Supreme and said loudly, “I’m not feeling well, yet you insist on calling me out to chat. What do we have to chat about?”
In spite of the Bamboo Monarch’s calm voice, his tone made Xia Chen inhale sharply.
The Bamboo Monarch usually chuckled after he finished speaking, but he had not done so this time.
This meant that the Bamboo Monarch was now inexplicably furious.
Xia Chen had never seen the Bamboo Monarch blow his top. However, he knew that his ever-gentle Master was terrifying when he was enraged.
Even Tian Feng did not speak immediately.
The single brain-celled Iron Prison stepped forward and said, “No matter what happens, you have to protect your cell.”
At that moment, all the color drained from the Bamboo Monarch’s already sickly face.
Soon, his body was like bamboo shoots that had just burst forth from the ground as his face took on a healthy pink glow and his gray hair turned black.
The Bamboo Monarch looked just as he had before and summoned a light green bamboo into his hand. His rigid aura shot into the sky and crashed down on all seven members of royalty standing before him.
He did not say a word, but everyone present knew what his intentions were.
The Bamboo Monarch’s aura wiped the ever-present twinkle of a smile from Cicada Song’s eyes.
“Bamboo Monarch, we had a deal to never use power above Myth Breed with each other.. Did you forget?”
