The Prince Of The World

Soon, Yuan Changfeng, the Enforcing Senior, came in person and asked enforcers to take Li Zhe and Li Fenghuang away.

"Yan Li, come with me!" Yuan Changfeng looked at Yan Li and said slowly.

"Yes!"

In the Enforcing Palace.

Yuan Changfeng, the Enforcing Senior, was in a high position. His cold eyes swept over Wei Ming and Tang Yuan, who were kneeling on the ground. He said slowly, "Wei Ming and Tang Yuan, do you admit your guilt?"

"Yes, I do admit."

The two men replied with grayish complexions.

"Come, lock them up!" Yuan Changfeng waved his hand and two enforcers entered the hall to take them away.

There were only Yan Li, Li Zhe, Li Fenghuang and Yuan Changfeng in the hall after they left.

Yuan Changfeng"s eyes fell on Li Zhe, "Li Zhe, though you are the youngest prince of the Empire, you are a disciple of Dahuang Palace as well. Do you admit your guilt that you had ordered Wei Ming and Tang Yuan to a.s.sa.s.sinate your elder brother?"

Although Yan Li concealed his ident.i.ty when he joined the Dahuang Palace, Yuan Changfeng knew the truth.

Li Zhe gradually calmed down. "Senior Yuan, I know what I"ve done something sinister. However, I"m still the prince of the Empire. The Dahuang Palace has no power to punish me. It"s no big deal for me. I can quit the school!"

Smiling, Yuan Changfeng said, "Yes, I know I have no such power, but you will face a severe penalty for killing your brother from the royal family. I"ll leave you to zong ren fu, and let them sentence them!"

"What? You"re going to send me to zong ren fu! No, don"t do that!" suddenly frightened, Li Zhe shouted.

Zong ren fu was a special inst.i.tution for the detention and punishment of the royals who had committed crimes. The head of zong ren fu was Li Hongtian, the emperor"s uncle.

Even the emperor showed his respect to him. Since Li Hongtian hated injustice like poison, none of the royals who were caught by him could receive a light sentence. Therefore, everyone respected him and feared for being punished.

"Senior Yuan, I know I am wrong! Please don"t send me to zong ren fu! " Li Zhe hurriedly murmured for mercy.

"Yan Li, I don"t want to get involved in the royal affairs. How do you think to deal with him?" Yuan Changfeng asked Yan Li suddenly.

Yan Li hesitated a second while Li Zhe pleaded again, "Big brother, I know I"ve done things wrong. As long as you forgive me, I won"t set myself against you anymore. I swear!"

Yan Li sighed, "Li Zhe and Fenghuang, if you quit the Palace. I will take no action against you!"

"Thank you! I"ll leave! I am Leaving now!" Li Zhe answered immediately.

Yuan Changfeng glanced at Yan Li appreciatively, and then asked people to send Li Zhe and Li Fenghuang away from the Dahuang Palace in no time.

"Prince Li, come with me. The Leader wants to meet you!"

"Senior yuan, just call me Yan Li. I"m an ordinary disciple in the Dahuang Palace, not a prince!"

"Well!" Yuan Changfeng nodded slightly.

Yuan Changfeng brought Yan Li together to fly in the air and soon they reached at a mountain with abundant vitality surrounded by clouds.

The Dahuang Leader, the King of warriors, lived in this mountain.

"Headmaster, I have brought you Yan Li!" Yuan Changfeng stood in front of a large hall and spoke loudly.

"Bang!"

The gate of the main hall opened. Yuan Changfeng waved his hands, signifying Yan Li to come in. Turning around, he left by flying with the wind.

Empty and bright, the walls on both sides of the hall were inlaid with fist-sized naturally fluorescent stones.

At the end of the hall, there was a red sandalwood chair, on which sat a middle-aged man in a white robe with his eyes closed. It was the leader of the Dahuang Palace who had appeared in the in-door compet.i.tion today.

"My name is Yan Li. My honor to meet you, headmaster." Yan Li bowed.

The Dahuang Leader opened his eyes slowly with a soft light flashed across, "Stand straight and let me see you, Yan Li."

"Thank you, headmaster."

"Whoos.h.!.+"

A shadow pa.s.sed across and a person sho showed up in front of Yan Li. It was the Dahuang Leader. His eyes swept over Yan Li curiously. With appreciation he asked, "Yan Li, do you know why I ask you to come?"

Yan Li shook his head in doubt.

The Leader slowly withdrew his eyesight and said, "You didn"t let your father down, nor did you let me down. Only a prodigy can gather nine Qi whirls. I want you to be my student. Do you agree?"

"What? Be your student?" Yan Li was shocked. The strength of the Dahuang Leader was inestimable. As a warrior in the Huang realm, it was easy for him to fly in the sky and hide under the ground, so he had the same social status as the emperor. It was unbelievable that such a figure offered him the invitation.

It was amazing!

Instead of answering immediately, Yan Li composed himself and asked, "Headmaster, I want to know the reason."

"Your father sent me a letter, asking me to accept you as my student before you joined the Dahuang Palace. We studied in the same school. So, I started to observe you from the moment you joined the Palace. Your talent has far exceeded my expectation, for which you would be promoted to the Poyuan realm in a few months. Besides, just as me, you had nine whirls. It is quite possible for you to enter the Huang realm in this life as long as you don"t ruin yourself halfway! What"s more precious, you always remain calm when in trouble, even with some cruelty. You are to my taste! I want you to be my student even if your father didn"t write to me."

Yan Li became a little bit nervous on hearing this. Unexpectedly, his words and deeds were all monitored by the leader. For a moment or two, he felt uneasy.

The leader said with a subtle smile, "Boy, are you blaming me for tracing you? To be honest, even I envy your luck—a s.p.a.ce instrument and b.l.o.o.d.y weapon—the dreaming objects of all Huang warriors are in your hands. It"s really enviable! "

Yan Li became even more surprised, because the leader knew his secrets. A tinge of vigilance showed in his eyes.

Noticing Yan Li"s change, the Leader grumbled, "Boy, it is nothing wrong to stay alert, but not for me! A warrior"s fate brings him to a special instrument or b.l.o.o.d.y weapon. It is your luck and chance to get them. Moreover, I am the leader of the Dahuang Palace, as well as your father"s s.h.i.+xiong. How can I hanker after your belongings?"

Yan Li nodded. The leader would plot to get his things under the rose if he wanted, no need to tell the truth. At the same time, he was curious about the other ident.i.ty of his father—s.h.i.+di of the Dahuang Leader.

The Leader continued to say, as if knowing what he was thinking, "Boy, your father joined the Dahuang Palace at ten. He was even more talented than me. He had become a warrior in the w.a.n.g realm at the age of eighteen. If he was not a prince, he would have been the Leader. Years later, he brought s.h.i.+mei Qing back to the capital and became the successor, but I never expected... "

When it came to this, the Leader wore a complicated expression, "Unfortunately, in an accident, s.h.i.+mei Qing died. From then on, your father has become an aimless playboy, drinking and making merry all day. Fate really makes a fool of man! "

Hearing this, Yan Li"s head was filled with doubts.
