At the Heavenly God Mountain Battlefield, at the border of Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom and Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country, in a lavish palace, the Panlong Heavenly Emperor was cultivating with his eyes closed.

He seemed to have no interest in the beautiful young palace maid standing by his side.

Ever since he seized the Immortal Pill refined by Chu Feng and consumed it, the Panlong Crown Prince became a Panlong Eunuch. This has been his hidden ailment and sore spot for many years.

Everyone knows that after the Panlong Heavenly Emperor ascended the throne, he had a habit.

No eunuchs were allowed around him, and even tasks like drafting decrees and relaying orders were all taken over by female officials.

In recent years, the Panlong Heavenly Emperor has become more capricious and violent in temperament.

There were often palace maids who served by his side that were killed for no reason. This also led to panic, and every maid living around the Panlong Heavenly Emperor was terrified, walking on thin ice.

"Heavenly Emperor, news from the Demon Sea Battlefield, the Ninth Imperial Uncle has died in battle, and our army has suffered a great defeat!" A female official rushed in to report to the Panlong Heavenly Emperor.

Bang!

The tables and other furniture around the Panlong Heavenly Emperor suddenly exploded, turning into a pile of wood chips.

The extremely cold Killing Aura instantly lowered the temperature inside the palace by several degrees, making the palace maids feel like they had fallen into an ice cave.

"What did you say?"

The Panlong Heavenly Emperor opened his eyes, shooting out tangible, intimidating cold gleams.

"Who killed the Ninth Imperial Uncle? Speak!"

It must be noted that the Ninth Imperial Uncle was the Panlong Heavenly Emperor’s left arm and right arm, and the Panlong Heavenly Emperor had just secured his throne. Losing the Ninth Imperial Uncle was a significant blow to him.

The Panlong Heavenly Emperor murdered his own father and usurped the throne, and, though he used various means to pacify many members of the Royal Family, there was one crucial figure who mediated these efforts. It was none other than the Ninth Imperial Uncle.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Ninth Imperial Uncle was the buffer between the Panlong Heavenly Emperor and the members of the Imperial Family, equivalent to a central hub.

Now, with the Ninth Imperial Uncle dead, the Panlong Heavenly Emperor and the members of the Imperial Family have lost their connective hub.

As time goes on, members of the Imperial Family will surely distance themselves from him and ostracize him.

Even his own biological father was slaughtered without hesitation, showing just how vicious the Panlong Heavenly Emperor is. Other members of the Imperial Family surely guard against him.

That female official, being stared at by the savage gaze of the Panlong Heavenly Emperor, couldn’t help but tremble slightly.

"Reporting to the Heavenly Emperor, the person who killed the Ninth Imperial Uncle is called Chu Feng. It’s said he is very young and skilled with Talismanic Elixirs." As the female official’s words fell, the air within the entire palace seemed to solidify.

Although she didn’t dare to look up, she could hear a low growl coming from deep within the Panlong Heavenly Emperor’s throat.

Like a fierce beast, targeted by the hunter’s spear, sensing the threat to its life, it let out a roar before a desperate fight.

"Chu Feng! Skilled with Talismanic Elixirs, must be the Eternal Life Pill Master without a doubt. Has he come to seek revenge on me?"

The Panlong Heavenly Emperor’s gaze was cold as never before, his tone equally grave.

Chu Feng regarded the Panlong Heavenly Emperor as his greatest enemy in this life, and wasn’t it the same for the Panlong Heavenly Emperor?

Perhaps when he first learned of Chu Feng’s reincarnation, the Panlong Heavenly Emperor didn’t take it seriously. He thought that just sending a subordinate could easily wipe out Chu Feng.

It wasn’t until later, after losing battle after battle, that the Panlong Heavenly Emperor realized that the Eternal Life Pill Master, whom he regarded as an ant, was rapidly growing.

"The Ninth Imperial Uncle had the cultivation of a Supreme Sword God, yet he was killed. Could it be that the Eternal Life Pill Master already possesses the strength to kill a Supreme Sword God?"

Though it was difficult to believe in his heart, the rational side of the Panlong Heavenly Emperor told him that things were likely as he suspected.

Chu Feng had indeed acquired the ability to kill a Supreme Sword God.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come seeking revenge on the Panlong Heavenly Emperor.

"Immediately summon the Kun Heavenly Master!"

The Panlong Heavenly Emperor coldly commanded the female official.

The death of the Ninth Imperial Uncle had deeply triggered the Panlong Heavenly Emperor’s sensitive nerves.

He feared that Chu Feng would come to seek revenge.

At such a time, finding a trustworthy minister with great abilities to discuss countermeasures was necessary. The Kun Heavenly Master was another mainstay of the Panlong Heavenly Emperor.

In the past, he belonged to the category of guests and advisors that the Panlong Crown Prince kept.

Whenever the Panlong Crown Prince had an undecided matter, he always liked to consult the Kun Heavenly Master. Almost every time, he could receive a satisfactory answer.

This is why the Panlong Heavenly Emperor valued the Kun Heavenly Master even more than the Ninth Imperial Uncle.

Soon, the Kun Heavenly Master arrived.

"Your servant pays respects to Your Majesty!" The Kun Heavenly Master was a spirited elderly man, with gray hair and high cheekbones that seemed like two life peaches perched on the corners of his forehead. His eyes were bright, like the stars in the sky, dazzling.

He held a Heaven Measuring Ruler in hand, etched with the sun, moon, and stars.

Just his appearance was already extraordinary.

His gait was composed, and every word and deed exuded confidence and steadiness with wisdom at hand.

Those female officials, upon seeing the Panlong Heavenly Emperor, were filled with trepidation, kneeling and kowtowing.

But the Kun Heavenly Master enjoyed the privilege of not kneeling before the emperor.

Even before the Panlong Heavenly Emperor, a slight bow was sufficient.

This shows how much the Panlong Heavenly Emperor relied on him.

"No need for formalities!" The Panlong Heavenly Emperor’s right hand motioned vaguely. "Give him a seat!"

Immediately, a palace maid brought over a chair, inviting the Kun Heavenly Master to sit. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"Your Majesty called upon your humble servant at night. Has something major occurred?" The Kun Heavenly Master carefully inquired, only partially seated on the chair.

"The Ninth Imperial Uncle has been killed!"

"Ah!" The Kun Heavenly Master couldn’t help but blink twice, a hint of shock showing on his otherwise expressionless elderly face.

He had worked with the Ninth Imperial Uncle for many years, both knowing each other well.

Although the Ninth Imperial Uncle’s wisdom was not on par with his own, the Ninth Imperial Uncle’s strength was by no means weak. Combined with at least two Divine Generals guarding him, and several Magical Treasures, who was capable enough to kill the Ninth Imperial Uncle?

"It was done by my arch-enemy, the Eternal Life Pill Master!" The Panlong Heavenly Emperor proactively revealed the true killer.

"Him? If I remember correctly, the Eternal Life Pill Master, after reincarnating, became Chu Feng. He should currently be a disciple at the Ten Thousand Sword Sect. Since when did he acquire such formidable capabilities?"

The Kun Heavenly Master was even more surprised this time.

He thought it was an old monster from the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country who had acted, but it turned out to be Chu Feng.

"According to reports, Chu Feng used an Eighth Grade Talismanic Elixir to kill the Ninth Imperial Uncle. The Eternal Life Pill Master might not have many other abilities, but his alchemical skills are undeniably transcendent. Unexpectedly, he can already refine Eighth Grade Talismanic Elixirs, indicating his alchemical mastery has nearly returned to the pinnacle state of his past life. I summoned you to discuss the best way to eliminate this person!"

Each time the Panlong Heavenly Emperor mentioned Chu Feng, the lines on his face twitched several times.

Upon hearing this, the Kun Heavenly Master pondered deeply, not responding immediately.

"Your Majesty, do you truly believe an Eighth Grade Talismanic Elixir can kill the Ninth Imperial Uncle?" The Kun Heavenly Master frowned slightly, sensing something amiss. "Even if the Ninth Imperial Uncle truly couldn’t prevail, wouldn’t he have fled? His Flying Heavenly Shuttle, capable of traversing dark abysses and tunneling through the earth, when determined to escape, there are few who could kill him. Let alone just an Eighth Grade Talismanic Elixir."
