At this moment, Li Chengfeng's mind was in turmoil. He subconsciously looked at Zhao Feiyue, only to see her staring at him. Her gaze was much gentler than before, no longer the condescending and cold look she used to have, nor did she look like she wanted to kill him with hatred and anger.
The complexity in her gaze suddenly gave him hope. He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I'll go with you!
But you must promise me as the Princess of Daqi and a disciple of the Spiritual Mountain Sect that you will grant us permission and let us go! "
Zhao Feiyue glanced at them. At that moment, Li Chengfeng could clearly see that Zhao Feiyue's gaze had turned cold again, like a god looking down on ants. She said coldly, "Of course you can."
Li Chengfeng could tell from her gaze that Zhao Feiyue did not want to kill him. He immediately looked at Yuehan, but she was looking at him worriedly.
He walked up and held her hand. He whispered, "Don't worry, I will be back as soon as possible. Wait for me at the transportation area."
She whispered, "I'll go with you."
He glared at her and scolded in a low voice, "Do you want to die?
If I go with her, I might have a chance to live. If you go with her, you'll be digging your own grave! "
Her expression darkened. She lowered her head and whispered, "Then you must come back!
Don't lie to me! "
He stroked her hair and whispered, "I will come back, I promise you!"
Zhao Feiyue watched coldly from a distance. She only turned her head when Li Chengfeng turned towards her. No one noticed the flash of confusion and pain in her eyes.
At the same time, no one noticed that a faint green light had seeped into Li Chengfeng's clothes through his sleeves. Yuehan, who had her head lowered, suddenly lost her usual liveliness. Her eyes became dull.
Yuehan's primordial spirit had left her body, possessing Li Chengfeng's body and quietly following him.
To Yuehan, this was an extremely dangerous move, because her primordial spirit was her physical weakness. If it was discovered, it was equivalent to exposing her greatest weakness to others. Once she was attacked, she would be doomed eternally!
Li Chengfeng and the rest did not notice this at all. He followed Zhao Feiyue for a while, then turned around to see Ouyang Nan and the rest staring at him. Li Chengfeng could not help but smile bitterly. "Your Highness, are we just going to walk back like this?
The sky will be bright by the time we reach the Heaven Receiving Platform … "
Before he could finish, Zhao Feiyue suddenly turned to look at him. There was a flash of golden light beside him and the Sky River Divine Sword floated in front of him, bobbing up and down. He hesitated for a moment and looked at Zhao Feiyue. When he saw her looking at him quietly, he glanced at the Sky River Divine Sword.
Li Chengfeng looked at the Sky River Divine Sword, ranked second among the world's Five Great Legendary Swords, and felt a chill run down his spine, especially after witnessing how this sword fell from the sky and killed Xianmengcai!
Li Chengfeng pointed at himself anxiously, then at the Sky River Divine Sword floating in front of him. Zhao Feiyue nodded slightly. Li Chengfeng reached out his hand nervously. Mustering his courage, he clenched his fist tightly. Suddenly, an immense force came from all directions, lifting him into the air.
It was so fast and powerful that Li Chengfeng, who had been practicing martial arts since he was young, could not help but let out a shrill scream. He felt as if his body was going to be torn in half the moment he stood up!
Li Chengfeng flew into the sky in an instant, the ground beneath his feet disappearing in the blink of an eye. All that was left was a patch of pitch-black darkness. Strong winds howled in all directions, like raging waves crashing into his face. He couldn't open his eyes or breathe for a moment.
When he finally got used to it, he tilted his head slightly to avoid the strong winds. He tried his best to open his eyes, only to see the Divine Capital that was still lit up even in the middle of the night!
Very soon, three beams of green light soared into the sky from below the Divine Capital, flying rapidly towards Li Chengfeng and Zhao Feiyue. When the three beams of green light flew close to them, Li Chengfeng realized that they were three cultivators dressed in black cultivator robes with unique Cosmos God Cult patterns embroidered on their chests, shoulders, and sleeves.
These three cultivators held a longsword, a green truncheon, and a strange piece of Hu jia in their hands. They surrounded Zhao Feiyue from the front and the left and right respectively, but they did not stop. Instead, they followed Zhao Feiyue and maintained a distance of twenty to thirty meters. After observing her for a moment, and then glancing at Li Chengfeng, they quickly flew back.
When Chengfeng saw this, he understood. He knew that it was impossible for any cat or dog to fly into an important place like the Divine Capital. Therefore, as long as there were cultivators flying near, there would immediately be cultivators on duty flying over to check on them.
However, it was also because Zhao Feiyue's flying state was too different from other people's. When cultivators in the world flew, most of them would emit green or silver light. Very few of them would emit red light, but Zhao Feiyue was the only one who emitted a dazzling golden light when she flew. During the day, this light was not very conspicuous, but at night, this light was comparable to the sun and was extremely eye-catching.
Moreover, Zhao Feiyue had caused a huge commotion when she flew out of the palace. Almost all the cultivators in the Divine Capital had noticed this. Now that she had returned, she did not encounter any obstructions. There were only cultivators on duty who came up to check on her.
Li Chengfeng believed that if he were to fly in openly like this, he would probably be struck down by them immediately. He would then be locked up in the Heavenly Prison so that he could understand the rules of the Divine Capital!
After the three of them left, Li Chengfeng soon felt a tremendous force wrapping around him and causing him to descend rapidly. The speed was so fast that Li Chengfeng felt a severe sense of dizziness, and his organs felt as if they were about to be squeezed together.
When his vision turned black, he realized that he was already in front of the Heaven Receiving Platform. There were many Imperial Star Divine Guards and palace maids kneeling down in panic.
"Welcome back to the palace, Your Highness!"
Everyone cheered in unison. Their voices were filled with joy and rejoicing, but there were also some complaints and complaints.
All the princesses in the world sat in a sedan chair and entered the palace from the main entrance. The most ridiculous one was still riding a horse. Yet, our Highness had never walked through the main entrance!
What was a sedan chair?
Never sat in one before!
What was a palace door?
Never appeared before!
Our Highness might not even know which way the main entrance to her own palace was opened!
Zhao Feiyue's personal maid, Xing 'er, grumbled inwardly, but she went up to him with a grin on her face. "Your Highness, you're finally back. We were so worried just now. The moment we turned around, Your Highness disappeared … Ah, ptui ptui, look at how I jinxed it. The moment we turned around, Your Highness disappeared!
"We were still thinking about how we should explain this to His Majesty later. Thankfully, the heavens have blessed us. Your Highness, you're finally back. Thank the heavens. This is really … Eh, who is this person?"
Xing 'er blinked at Li Chengfeng with her beautiful eyes and asked curiously.
Suddenly, Xing 'er noticed that the sword in Li Chengfeng's hand looked familiar. She took a closer look and was shocked. Wasn't that the Sky River Divine Sword?
Her princess's divine sword never left her side. Why was it in a stranger's hand now?!
Could it be …
Xing 'er's eyes suddenly lit up, the flames of gossip burning in her chest. Everyone else realized this too and stared at Li Chengfeng in shock, trying to guess his identity.
Xing 'er studied Li Chengfeng. He was handsome and had an extraordinary aura. She could tell that he was not an ordinary person at first glance. Although he was dressed shabbily and wore a low-grade robe from the Hidden Sword Court of the Spiritual Mountain Sect, the fact that he could fly here with Zhao Feiyue and hold the Milky Way Divine Sword was enough to tell that he was not an ordinary person!
Their princess had always been arrogant and looked down on all men. Other than the Emperor, they had never seen her talk to any other man. Now, she had brought a man back!
This man … did not look too bad. She just did not know who was more powerful, him or her princess?
While she was thinking, she saw the man smile. That smile was incredible. There was a hint of an unruly smile on his handsome face, and Xing 'er's heart beat like a drum.
When had any woman in the Forbidden Courtyard ever seen such an unruly man?
She watched in a daze as Li Chengfeng smiled and nodded at them warmly. Then, he opened his mouth and greeted them passionately, "Urgh!!!!"
A putrid stench assaulted everyone's nostrils and quickly spread throughout the Heaven Receiving Platform. Everyone was dumbstruck.
Xing 'er: "..."
The crowd: "..."
