"Lao Bai, I need you to make a trip," Ji Wuhui said calmly, having regained his composure.
Lao Bai, an eighth-rank cultivator, was at the peak of power in Jiuyao City, despite the many practitioners gathered there.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will bring His Highness back safely!"
Before Lao Bai's voice had even faded, he disappeared.
"Dare to harm my son, no matter who you are, you will pay the price!" Ji Wuhui's voice was cold as he gazed toward Jiuyao City. As an emperor, he had shed much blood over the years.
The speed of a Dao Inquiry master was indeed extraordinary.
Within just a few dozen breaths, Lao Bai arrived at Fengxian Tower. Sensing Ji Tianhao's presence, he breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he was still alive, everything was manageable.
A cold expression appeared on Lao Bai's face as he entered Fengxian Tower. He wanted to see who dared to confront the royal family in Jiuyao City.
People on the road only saw a phantom pass by, unaware of what had happened.
At this time, Ji Tianhao was surrounded by a faint golden light, looking almost godlike. With the protection of the city's defensive formation, he felt confident. Even a peak Qiaodao powerhouse would need dozens of breaths to defeat him!
But what he didn't know was that if Luo Chuan wanted to kill him, no amount of defense would suffice.
Luo Chuan wasn't a bloodthirsty person nor a saint. But if someone provoked him without reason, the consequences would be severe.
As Lao Bai entered Fengxian Tower, the expressions of the diners changed, and whispers filled the air.
"Lao Bai has been by the Tianxing Emperor's side for decades and is a Dao Inquiry master! His appearance means His Majesty is furious!"
"If Lao Bai acts, this person's fate is sealed!"
"What a pity..."
The diners looked at Luo Chuan with regret. Lao Bai was a master, and Luo Chuan didn't seem to be older than twenty. How strong could he be?
The outcome seemed obvious to them.
"Old Bai, save me!" Ji Tianhao exclaimed joyfully upon seeing Lao Bai.
Ji Tianhao was terrified of Luo Chuan. With a single slap, he had left Li Mu's fate uncertain. If it happened to him...
Just the thought made his scalp tingle!
Even with the protection of the city's formation, Ji Tianhao felt no security. Luo Chuan's calmness was unsettling.
Ji Tianhao, being a spoiled prince, never focused on cultivation and thus never truly understood the power of the defensive formation. But he knew Lao Bai's strength, which could rival an entire army!
Seeing Lao Bai, Ji Tianhao felt as if he had found a lifeline. But what happened next was unexpected.
He noticed something odd about Lao Bai's expression, but he didn't give it much thought, trusting in Lao Bai's power.
"Old Bai, this guy wants to kill me! I want his life!" Ji Tianhao pointed at Luo Chuan with a vicious expression, wishing to destroy the man who had threatened him.
