74: The first venerable one, the filial disciple!

“Big Brother, Chu Yun is proving to be much more troublesome than we imagined.”

“Do you think he might have some trump cards we don’t know about?” Chu Yuan suddenly asked.

Hearing this, the Crown Prince’s expression subtly changed.

Feng Tianzheng immediately said, “Don’t panic yet.”

“If we truly can’t find out that person’s identity, then go to Misty Rain Tower.”

Chu Yuan nodded, “National Teacher, don’t worry, I understand what to do.”

“It’s just that now that things have come to this, what should we do about Venerable Ke?”

Feng Tianzheng’s face showed a hint of gravity, “Since His Majesty personally intervened, this matter is no longer something we can interfere with.”

“We can only see if the Empress has any solutions.”

“Or perhaps if the Corpse Yin Sect intervenes, there might be a way to resolve it.”

Feng Tianzheng was also very worried at this moment.

He had not expected that asking Venerable Ke to capture Meng Ruxue would escalate to such a degree.

In the end, it even led to the Emperor personally intervening. Given the previous situation, no one could protect him now.

One must know that throughout the Great Xia Dynasty, the strongest Venerable of this generation was the Great Xia Emperor!

He rarely made a move because there was usually no need for him to.

In terms of Venerable Realm strength alone, Shura Venerable was beneath him.

Moreover, and most importantly, within the Imperial City, the Great Xia Emperor had the Imperial Dynasty’s Luck blessing. Inside the Imperial City, even a Heavenly Phase Realm Cultivator could fight him!

This was also the main reason why the Empress Faction, despite its vast network, dared not be too presumptuous within the Imperial City.

If the Emperor had been in the Imperial Palace when Chu Yun was born, there would have been no possibility of him being stolen!

This was the absolute deterrence of a monarch, the current Son of Heaven!

“For now, this is the only way.”

“Third Brother, go to Misty Rain Tower and see if you can get any information about the Venerable under Chu Yun’s command from them,” the Crown Prince ordered.

“Yes, Big Brother.”

“I’ll go now!”

Chu Yuan immediately left the Eastern Palace and rushed to Misty Rain Tower… Within the Imperial Palace.

Chu Yun and Meng Changzhong walked into a grand hall.

“Greetings, Your Majesty (Imperial Father).”

The Emperor was seated on the Dragon Throne above, having waited for a long time.

“Rise.”

He nodded, speaking indifferently.

“Thank you, Your Majesty (Imperial Father).” The two then stood up.

“Venerable Ke has been thrown into the Heavenly Prison. How is Ru Xue?” the Emperor asked with concern first.

“Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Ru Xue is fine, she didn’t suffer any injuries, she just fainted,” Meng Changzhong replied.

The Emperor nodded, “That’s good then.”

“Ninth Prince, what’s going on with that Venerable Realm Cultivator under your command?”

Chu Yun had long had a premonition that his Imperial Father would ask him about this sooner or later.

This matter was no small thing; such a powerful Venerable Realm Cultivator was in the Imperial City, and right beside his own son, yet he, as the Imperial Father, knew nothing.

This was something absolutely intolerable for a monarch.

“Imperial Father, this person was specially sent by my Revered Master to help your son,” Chu Yun calmly responded.

“Your Revered Master?” Both the Emperor and Meng Changzhong were a bit surprised. They had never heard that Chu Yun had a Revered Master?

Chu Yun had already prepared his explanation, “That was when your son was little, in…”

He roughly told them about his encounter with Carefree Master and how he had allowed him to grow freely.

He also informed the two of them that his Revered Master would arrive in the Imperial City in just over a month.

“So that’s how it is.”

“To be able to casually send out a Venerable Realm Cultivator…”

“Ninth Prince, what Realm is your Revered Master in?” the Emperor asked curiously.

Chu Yun stroked his chin, recalling, “Your son doesn’t know his specific cultivation.”

“I only know that once upon a time, Revered Master killed Heavenly Phase Realm Cultivators as easily as killing chickens; it was always with a single sword strike.”

Hearing this, Meng Changzhong and the Emperor, both older men, widened their eyes in shock!

Killing Heavenly Phase Realm Cultivators like killing chickens?!!!

His strength must be at least that of a Supreme, right?!!!

The Ninth Prince’s Revered Master is a Supreme?!!!

This instantly deeply shocked even him, the monarch of a nation.

Even Meng Changzhong was ecstatic internally, eagerly asking, “Your Highness, is this true?”

“Can Your Highness’s Revered Master truly instantly kill Heavenly Phase Realm Cultivators?”

Chu Yun calmly replied, “I don’t know.”

“After all, that was in the past.”

“Now that so many years have passed, my Revered Master must have made some progress, right?”

“Otherwise, he’d be a terrible Revered Master.”

As the saying goes, invisible showing off is the most lethal.

Chu Yun’s nonchalant words at this moment caused both the Emperor and Meng Changzhong’s faces to twitch.

However, after their initial shock subsided, Meng Changzhong was in high spirits, his joy evident on his face, impossible to suppress.

With Your Highness having such a powerful Revered Master.

Then what the heck were they worrying about the Empress Faction for?!!!

Once Your Highness’s Revered Master arrived, the entire power of the Imperial City would completely tilt in their favor.

“Ninth Prince, since you have such a Revered Master, why didn’t you tell Imperial Father sooner?” the Emperor couldn’t help but ask.

Chu Yun smiled sheepishly, rubbing his head, “Hehe, Imperial Father, mainly because my Revered Master wouldn’t let me reveal it easily.”

“If it weren’t for him coming this time, I wouldn’t have told you about it.”

To show filial piety, Chu Yun immediately pushed all the responsibility onto Carefree Master.

“So that’s how it is.”

“After all, he’s an expert, so it’s not hard to understand.” The Emperor nodded, understanding Chu Yun’s Revered Master’s actions.

It was inevitable that some experts had eccentric personalities.

“Oh, by the way, Imperial Father.”

“That Venerable Ke, how do you plan to deal with him, Imperial Father?” Chu Yun then asked with a serious expression.

“Do you have any ideas?” The Emperor, hearing his words, didn’t answer but instead counter-questioned.

“If possible, your son would like to request Imperial Father to hand Venerable Ke over to your son.”
