Li Chengfeng had imagined that the Fourth Prince would try to recruit him and thought about how to reject him.
However, Li Chengfeng never imagined that … they would be stopped at the foot of Tong Jing Pass, and even be threatened by force!
Li Chengfeng was forced to the edge of the cliff. He could feel the Fourth Prince's unique and domineering way of doing things, but at the same time, he was furious.
What kind of person was Li Chengfeng?
He was a bad-tempered devil incarnate. He would not move forward even if he wanted to touch someone's hair, he would retreat when he was beaten!
He was a typical person who could be persuaded but not cowed!
However, Li Chengfeng was not a person who only knew how to fight head-on. He could be soft or hard, and when he needed to retreat, he would definitely do so. All he did was make a mental note. When he was strong enough, or when the opportunity was right, he would start to settle the score.
The best example of this was Shanxue.
Li Chengfeng's face was expressionless but he gripped the reins so tightly that his fingers were turning white. He gritted his teeth in anger.
It had always been him, Uncle Li, who threatened and bullied others. But here, Young Master Li found that … he really couldn't afford to provoke the people who came to bully him!
Who was the Fourth Prince?
He was someone who could challenge the Crown Prince and bully him so badly that he almost lost his life!
If he went, it would be too much for him to swallow!
Most importantly, if he went, what would the world think of him?
Would they think that he would have to rely on the Fourth Prince?
If he did not go, would these fully-armed men pounce on him and stomp him to a pulp?
Even if he could escape … the consequences of offending the Fourth Prince would not be good!
"Palace Lord …" Zhao Feiyue looked at Li Chengfeng worriedly and whispered, "Go, I'll go with you."
Li Chengfeng smiled bitterly. "Aren't you afraid of becoming one of the Fourth Prince's men?"
Zhao Feiyue shook her head. "Fourth Brother doesn't want me to get involved. I'll go with you later, he won't make things difficult for you."
Li Chengfeng heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Zhao Feiyue gratefully. However, he quickly realized that something was wrong. He was once Zhao Feiyue's protector, but in this life, Zhao Feiyue was the one protecting him.
What goes around comes around!
Li Chengfeng nodded at the general. "Please lead the way!"
When the general saw that Zhao Feiyue was about to follow, he hurriedly tried to dissuade her, "Your Highness, please wait here for a moment. The Fourth Prince has only invited …"
Zhao Feiyue treated Li Chengfeng with utmost care, hiding all her grievances and resentments in her heart, always showing her most beautiful smile to her Palace Lord.
However … when facing others, Zhao Feiyue wasn't the same.
The general in front of him was a third-rank officer, a valiant general of the Capital Cavalry Camp. He commanded fifty thousand men and horses, all of whom were elites who guarded the capital. It could be said that he held a high position and power.
But to such a general, Zhao Feiyue only said one word: "Scram!!"
The brave general's face turned purplish red. He forced a smile and was about to say something when Zhao Feiyue pulled his arm and brought him flying towards Tong Jing Pass.
The valiant general immediately turned pale with fright, and chased after him, shouting: "No!!!
The pass has been sealed, we can't fly too high! "
Li Chengfeng flew towards Tong Jing Pass with Zhao Feiyue, passing thousands of neatly lined cavalry on the ground. He looked down to see four black square formations on the ground, densely packed like a colony of ants. It was a terrifying sight.
What was even more terrifying was that as Zhao Feiyue brought Li Chengfeng closer, the two statues in front of Tong Jing Pass started to move. Cracks started to appear on the stone around the two statues, and countless pieces of stone fell from the statues.
The ground shook violently as if it was experiencing a terrifying earthquake!
The cavalry phalanx in front of Tongjing Pass immediately panicked. They looked back in horror, and if not for their usual training and the strong suppression of their officers, they would have long scattered in disorder.
As for Li Chengfeng and Zhao Feiyue, they could clearly see the eyes of the two stone statues slowly open. Their eyes glowed with a terrifying golden light. The air in the sky swirled like a whirlpool as an incomparably powerful force locked on to them.
Li Chengfeng looked at Zhao Feiyue in shock and hissed, "What's going on?"
Zhao Feiyue did not speak. She took out a scepter from her robes and held it up high. Li Chengfeng found it familiar at first glance. Wasn't this the golden scepter he had seen in Cheng 'an City?
However, this scepter was made of jade!
The scepter in Zhao Feiyue's hand quickly emitted a soft white light. The eyes of the two giant stone statues in the distance were already half open, and the cracks on the rocks covering their bodies were almost all going to split open. Just as the two terrifying giants were about to walk out, the light suddenly fell like rain and fell on the two giant stone statues. Immediately, the movements of the two giant stone statues became sluggish, and then they seemed to fall into a deep sleep again. They closed their eyes again, and the rocks around them no longer collapsed.
Strangely, Li Chengfeng could see countless runes appearing on their bodies. These runes were arranged in a strange pattern, like a sealing array, sealing their powers once again.
Then, Zhao Feiyue brought Li Chengfeng to the highest point of the Immortal's Pass wall and landed under the shocked gazes of the city guards.
At this moment, Li Chengfeng finally realised what Zhao Feiyue and her name meant in Daqi!
There were only three Precious Jade Scepters in the world. They used to be in the hands of various princes, but Zhao Feiyue had one!
However, even if the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince had this Treasured Jade Scepter, they did not dare to bring it out because it could directly mobilize troops!
That was why bringing it out of the capital was tantamount to rebellion!
However, not only did Zhao Feiyue bring it everywhere, she even used it willfully to break through the pass, just to subdue the two statues that were about to 'come to life'!
If the power of the royal family was divided into three levels, namely the Emperor, the Crown Prince, and the Fourth Prince, then Li Chengfeng now realized that the royal family was divided into four levels. The last level was Zhao Feiyue, who stood alone!
Li Chengfeng also knew that these two battle colossi were created when Daqi and the Puppet Kingdom temporarily allied against the powerful Dijon Kingdom. Daqi had sent a group of cultivators to teach the Puppet Kingdom's people how to cultivate. In return, the Puppet Kingdom had gifted these two 'Divine Lords' battle colossi.
No one had truly seen the power of these two statues, but legend had it that they could easily crush a Golden Body cultivator. Only a Lightning Tribulation cultivator could fight against them.
Just as Li Chengfeng landed on the Capital Pass wall and was still in shock, a mocking voice rang out from beside him.
"I've been thinking, other than me, who else in the world is worthy of my Little Sister?!
Now that I think about it, it's you!
Sigh, Little Sister, when … did you go blind? "
