The Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals knew of Long Fei’s prowess and quickly called for reinforcents.
In an instant, over ten thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals approached, even Li Daoxun was alard and ca over.
Upon seeing Long Fei, Li Daoxun was full of surprise and astonishnt.
In his mory, no one had ever escaped from the Heavenly Prison.
Not to ntion being locked in Mine Shaft No.9.
Long Fei didn’t show any signs of injury, sitting on a rock, leisurely drinking wine.
From the soldiers nearby, Long Fei had just learned that more than a month had passed since he was locked into Mine Shaft No.9.
Everyone thought he was dead, who would have expected him to appear alive, which was indeed shocking.
Actually, Li Daoxun was quite happy, he liked this young man very much.
If Long Fei were truly dead, he would have had so regrets.
According to that girl from his family, the Seventh Princess seed to have taken a liking to this young man, thinking about him all day, even going to the Emperor to plead for him.
Unfortunately, the Seventh Princess now fell seriously ill from poison, bedridden.
The Emperor has recently been troubled and hasn’t been in the mood to handle state affairs.
The Imperial Physician said it seems the Seventh Princess might not pull through these few days.
He went over and sat by Long Fei’s side.
Long Fei smiled and offered him the wine.
He feigned a stern look, took the wine jar, drank a sip, and curiously asked, "Aren’t you afraid I’ll capture you and throw you back into the Heavenly Prison?"
Long Fei laughed heartily, "If you wanted to capture , you would’ve done it long ago, no need to wait here. Isn’t it because the Emperor has ordered you to report any news of imdiately?"
Li Daoxun showed an expression as if seeing a ghost, full of surprise, saying, "How do you know?"
Long Fei chuckled, "I can calculate and predict!"
"You, boy, are truly a demon!"
Li Daoxun was convinced, agreeing wholeheartedly with the Outer Sect Disciples calling Long Fei by this nickna.
Long Fei curiously asked him, "Where is this place? Why is there a Demon-Suppression Pagoda?"
Li Daoxun laughed, "So there are places you don’t know. This is the Great Xiangguo Temple. Underneath this pagoda, there’s a crack. Sounds of whimpering often co from it, and the crack below seems bottomless. The common folks believed there were demons below, so they built this pagoda to suppress them. Unexpectedly, you ca out from it."
"I see!"
Long Fei pondered for a mont, the stone pillar was hollow, leading straight up.
The shouting of the Demon Clan below traveled through the hollow pipe, sounding like it had a loudspeaker.
He took a new jar of wine, drank heartily, and wiped his mouth, saying, "I didn’t expect the Emperor would still allow the Buddhist Sect to appear here."
Li Daoxun chuckled lightly, "The Great Xiangguo Temple has a long history, existing since the Ancient Era. It’s rumored because there were unjust spirits under the neighboring mine pit, which the Daoist Sect couldn’t suppress, so they allowed the Buddhist Sect to build a temple here to suppress it."
He glanced at the pagoda, exclaiming, "You didn’t co out from that fissure, did you?"
Long Fei smiled and nodded.
Li Daoxun clicked his tongue, saying, "You must have gained so fortune! Over the years, not a single Demonic Beast has crawled out from there, why did you co out?"
"Just a coincidence!"
Long Fei brushed it off, not telling the truth.
The happenings inside the cavern required a crafted false story; speaking too much risked exposure.
Li Daoxun was wise, knowing Long Fei didn’t want to talk, so he didn’t press further.
Before long, indeed, people from the palace arrived to deliver the Emperor’s decree, summoning Jiang Hengyuan to the palace for questioning, ordering Li Daoxun to escort him imdiately.
The decree was severe, adding that any obstruction would be dealt with by death.
Li Daoxun accepted the decree, eyeing Long Fei with even more amazent.
The subsequent events were entirely as this young man had predicted.
He even suspected this kid had so future-predicting technique.
He quickly gathered n to escort Long Fei to the palace.
In just a short ti, the news of Long Fei’s survival spread throughout Celestial Realms City.
Along the way, disciples from various sects ca to inquire about the news.
The streets were crowded with people.
Long Fei, despite being imprisoned, was inside an iron cage pulled by a Dragon-Scaled Horse at the front.
He didn’t look like a prisoner but rather soone from the Imperial Family out on a trip, shalessly waving and greeting everyone, occasionally shouting, "Hello everyone! Thank you all!"
Li Daoxun, riding a Golden Scaled Ox-Horned Beast in front, looked back at this kid and muttered, "Truly thick-skinned!"
The news reached the Jiang Family, and everyone in the Jiang Family was shocked and stirred.
Jiang Zhenzhang directly crushed the teacup in his hand, cursing loudly, "How can this be! How is this little bastard’s life so tough! The Heavenly Dao is unfair, how can it let this wretch run rampant?"
A group of clan elders also gritted their teeth in hatred, not expecting that their Jiang Family Estate’s main construction had just been completed and they hadn’t even invited guests to celebrate, yet this culprit turned out to be alive.
One clan elder furiously said, "He must be very weak after struggling out; we might as well take this opportunity to send people to intercept him on the road and remove the nace!"
Another elder said, "I’ve heard that the Emperor personally wants him. It’s also said that if anyone obstructs, they shall be executed. There are over ten thousand elite n escorting this kid, it would be unwise to confront them."
One elder frowned and said, "What does the Emperor an? Why does he want to see this boy?"
Soone said, "I heard that the Emperor’s Seventh Princess took a liking to this boy. Now the Seventh Princess might not make it, does the Emperor want to find her a husband?"
The crowd discussed, nodding and saying, "It’s very possible."
"The Emperor might want to find a husband to accompany his daughter to the Netherworld, otherwise, among the many talents in the world, why choose this boy?"
Soone analyzed, "Very likely, after all, the Seventh Princess is about to leave, she might need soone to accompany her."
Their sinister smiles wished the Emperor would kill Long Fei imdiately.
Jiang Zhenzhang analyzed, "Anyway, this matter shouldn’t be taken lightly. You must have people in the palace carefully investigate the situation, and report any changes imdiately."
Others nodded and soon left respectfully.
One of the elders, Jiang Xinyi, stayed behind.
He whispered to Jiang Zhenzhang, "Now that this boy is out, what do we do with those Celestial Mystery City clansn? If this boy finds out about this matter when he’s out, he might cause trouble for us; our family business is vast, we can’t afford to bump heads with a vagrant like him!"
Jiang Zhenzhang furrowed his brows, pondering. A few days ago, he had all the Celestial Mystery City clansn captured and questioned about Long Fei.
No matter how he questioned, he couldn’t get any useful information.
Those people remain detained in the Jiang Family’s dungeon, so already tortured beyond recognition.
Jiang Zhenzhang said, "The Patriarch is not fit to co out yet, we indeed have no one to handle this boy. You should first release those people, we need to be prepared for both eventualities. In case this boy indeed becos the Imperial Son-in-law, we might need to avoid provocations temporarily and wait for the Patriarch for further decisions."
"Alright, I’ll take care of it imdiately!"
Jiang Xinyi nodded and went down.
This matter was instigated by him, fearing Long Fei’s revenge, he wanted to mitigate the situation imdiately.
If this kid indeed becos the Imperial Son-in-law and holds the Jiang Family accountable, Jiang Xinyi would surely be scapegoated.
