Chapter 863: Chapter 502: Father and Son Reunited

With the princely heir here, there’s no need for them.

Things proceed according to their wishes, and the dignified Golden Envoy of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, a fourth-grade official, was forced to seek help from the court, only to have the tables turned on him.

Adding Chen Yuan, two Golden Envoys arrived consecutively, putting immense pressure on Huangfu Qi.

Zhou Kai escorted Chen Yuan to the outside of the military camp, exchanged a few words, and then returned inside with a calm demeanor. Chen Yuan paused for a moment, then softly asked:

“Senior, what do you think of this King of Beiliang?”

“Just half a step away from the Six Realms, his strength is not weak.”

Moluo’s ethereal voice slowly echoed in Chen Yuan’s ear.

“That strong?”

Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

He knew that the fourth on the Supreme List was very strong, definitely a character of the True Monarch level, but he hadn’t expected Wei Jinfeng to be only half a step away from the Six Realms.

If he crossed this half step, wouldn’t that mean Wei Jinfeng would become an Immortal?

If that were the case, would he still be content to be a local prince?

The situation was becoming more chaotic….

“Most of those at the top of the Supreme List are about half a step away from the Six Realms, but taking this step is extremely difficult. It took me sixty years to comprehend this half step.

The one from Wudang Mountain took a hundred and twenty years. As for how long it will take this King of Beiliang, that’s unknown.”

Moluo narrated.

Chen Yuan nodded, understanding Moluo’s words, although Wei Jinfeng was only half a step away from the Six Realms, this distance was a chasm.

It’s the difference between the mortal and the immortal.

It’s very hard to take this step.

“Let’s go.”

Chen Yuan said, ready to leave.

But Moluo suddenly spoke again:

“It’s the one beside the King of Beiliang. He’s very close to the Six Realms. Wei Jinfeng needs half a step, but he… perhaps doesn’t even need half a step anymore. He only needs an opportunity to become an Immortal in an instant.”

“The one beside the King of Beiliang…” Hearing this, Chen Yuan was startled, having no idea someone beside him was observing.

“Who is it?”

Chen Yuan furrowed his brow, feeling something might be amiss with the King of Beiliang.

“If what you say is true, has he already noticed your presence?” This was a crucial question concerning Chen Yuan’s life.

“As long as he hasn’t become an Immortal, it’s impossible for him to detect me.”

Moluo said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Chen Yuan finally relaxed, turning back to take a deep look at the Beiliang military camp, then soared into the sky and disappeared like a streak of light.

…

…

Inside the palace of the Beiliang military camp.

As Chen Yuan’s figure gradually faded into the distance, Wei Jinfeng tapped his fingers on the table, speaking in a deep voice:

“Chen Yuan…. is your son, right?!”

Though it was a question, there was absolute certainty in his tone.

On the seat to the left where Chen Yuan faced Wei Jinfeng directly, the void rippled slightly. A figure in black robes slowly materialized, asking Wei Jinfeng calmly:

“How did you figure it out?”

“Too similar, the heroic spirit between his brows is identical to yours when you were young. Although his appearance is somewhat different, that heroic spirit is unmistakable to me.”

Wei Jinfeng recalled the scene when he first saw Chen Yuan’s countenance, furrowing his brows slightly.

With just one glance, only one glance was needed for him to notice this. If Xiang Qianqiu had remained hidden, it might not have been the case, but he had already revealed himself before.

With his cultivation, as soon as Xiang Qianqiu appeared, it would remind him of certain past images.

“Indeed, he is the legitimate descendant of my Xiang Family, my bloodline!”

Xiang Qianqiu slowly pulled the black robe onto his head, revealing a young and handsome face. At first glance, it bore no resemblance to Chen Yuan, but upon closer inspection,

one could see the resemblance in the space between his eyebrows with Chen Yuan’s.

“Since he is your bloodline, why is he left outside? His talent is extraordinarily rare; if cultivated well, he could certainly become a Yang God True Monarch in the future.

Wouldn’t that bring the Xiang Family’s plan for restoration one step closer?”

Wei Jinfeng said lightly.

“A Yang God True Monarch wouldn’t be enough for restoration. As for him, I have my considerations.”

“What are you planning? A few days ago, my son mentioned a young man named Xiang Lingtian visited him; is he also your son?” Wei Jinfeng’s eyes showed some confusion.

“I have only this one bloodline, that one is just a member of the Xiang Family.”

“You’d rather cultivate a collateral descendant than this direct bloodline, which truly surprises me.” Wei Jinfeng knew more than nothing about Chen Yuan.

In fact, with his capabilities, if he wanted to, he could easily obtain everything about Chen Yuan’s past from childhood, knowing he grew up in a small county in Qingzhou.

No connection whatsoever to the legitimate line of the previous dynasty.

If he hadn’t seen Chen Yuan just now, he wouldn’t have even considered this possibility.

“How does Wei know I haven’t cultivated him?” Xiang Qianqiu turned his calm gaze towards Wei Jinfeng.

“It seems…. the Crown Prince’s plans are not few.”

“Without some plans, how could I restore Great Chu?”

Xiang Qianqiu straightforwardly responded to this matter.

Wei Jinfeng’s gaze remained calm as he said softly:

“I don’t care what plans you have, but if you dare to collude with the Barbarians Clan, mimicking the Sima Family’s actions of the past, then don’t blame me for disregarding our past relationship.”

Xiang Qianqiu laughed, seemingly scornful:

“The Grand Ancestor’s teachings have warned the descendants of the Xiang Family for generations, forbidding any collusion with foreign tribes to disturb the Central Plains. How could I, Xiang Qianqiu, ever be like the Sima Family’s scum?”

“That would be best, as long as you don’t do anything harmful to the Central Plains, then even when you rise to restore your nation, I will continue to guard the Northern Border as I did back then!”

“I thought you would serve the king and enter the capital?” Xiang Qianqiu smirked coldly, as if recalling past events.

“Even if I had entered the capital back then, it wouldn’t change the overall situation, and Liangzhou would be lost because of it. In my heart, it doesn’t matter whether it is the Xiang Family or the Sima Family that rules, as long as the Northern Border stands firm.

Behind me are billions of people in the Central Plains; if I leave, the wounds of the Central Plains wouldn’t heal for a hundred years.”

“I understand your nature; thus, I’ve never blamed you. In the future…. you will still be the King of Beiliang for our Great Chu!” Xiang Qianqiu smiled faintly.

“That’s a statement made too early; say it again after you restore your nation. It’s truly ironic; your son is a former royal, but now tasked with investigating you.

What do you think, should you and your son recognize each other, what kind of scene would that be?”

Wei Jinfeng’s lips curled, seeming to envision that very interesting scene.

Thinking about Chen Yuan’s consistent conduct, Xiang Qianqiu spoke nonchalantly:

“He…. might probably kill me.”
