A prince was prestigious and had the n.o.bility of the royal clan. However, he was far from being comparable to the Divine King in Jin.
This was a role only below the emperor. Even prince and princesses need to perform a greeting ceremony when meeting Feiyun.
Prince Hongye was a guest but he still needed to do the same.
“Rumble!” Eighteen members of the Martial Army came. Each had heavy armor with a long spear, resulting in an oppressive armor.
They surrounded the prince and ordered: “Surrender or die!”
“Surrender or die!”
These elites roared like thunder. The prince might look like a brute but he was quite intelligent and knew that something was amiss.
Normally, older cultivators couldn’t interfere with him and Feiyun, especially not the army. However, Feiyun had accused him of three crimes - disrespectful towards the princess, rude to the Divine King, and looking down on the Jin royal clan.
These three crimes were enough to imprison him.
This was no longer a youthful compet.i.tion but Feiyun using his status to carry out the law. If the prince were to resist, it would bring about the resistance of the Jin experts. Even if they were to kill him, they could say that he was resisting and got rightfully killed in the process.
The prince was strong but the ma.s.sive army would still pulverize him since this was still Jin’s territory. He naturally could deduce all of this.
However, being imprisoned here would harm his dynasty’s prestige and people would mock him to no end back in Sacred Spirit. This was unacceptable as well - quite a dilemma.
The prince was lamenting and cursing his situation, ‘what a ridiculous dynasty, letting such a young brat become the Divine King?’
If the current Divine King was still Long Chuanfeng, then he wouldn’t come out against a junior due to his reputation and status. Thus, the prince wouldn’t have feared anyone.
However, Feiyun was young just like him!
Prince Luofu who was still restrained by the prince glanced at Feiyun, not expecting for her savior to be Feiyun.
He certainly didn’t like her. Alas, he was part of the royal clan so he needed to maintain its prestige or it would reflect badly on him too.
Ultimately, he had no choice but to join as the current Divine King despite the prince’s frightening cultivation. Adding another enemy like this wasn’t a wise decision and he wasn’t so leisure.
The prince rolled his eyes once and said: “So it’s His Excellency, the Divine King of the Jin Dynasty. Ah, I didn’t recognize you earlier, but of course, it’s not really my fault. I mean, who would have thought that the great Divine King would be, haha, a little junior.”
The prince knew that Feiyun was trapping him but he couldn’t change his arrogant nature.
Of course, he had his own reasons behind this statement. He wanted to tell everyone that the disrespectful was unintentional. It was just that the current Divine King’s cultivation was too low so he didn’t recognize the guy.
The one to be blamed is Feiyun and his c.r.a.ppy cultivation fooling him. In other words, he even insinuated the that Jin lacked talents and needed a junior like this to be their king.
Feiyun was not a traditional king and didn’t give a s.h.i.+t about maintaining an acceptable grace. He pulled up his sleeve and cursed: “Motherf.u.c.ker, you dare to look down on me again? Rope him, I want to introduce him to my palm. If he dares to resist, then get the troops in here and deal with him!”
Prince Hongye wasn’t aware of Feiyun’s personality but Li Xiaonan was quite familiar. Not long ago, Feiyun ordered his army to flatten Beauty’s Smile just because of one woman. This shocked all of Jin - only he would do something illogical like this.
He was the one who invited Prince Hongye here, so if Feiyun were to use his army to kill the prince, the responsibility would fall on him as well. He had no choice but to mediate.
He came forward with an amazing aura and said with a smile: “Your Excellency, please calm down, this is only a misunderstanding. Like the Crown Prince had said earlier, the prince and princess were only playing around. Brother Hongye, what are you waiting for, let go of the princess. This joke is getting out of hand.”
Meanwhile, he also emitted a secret message to the prince: ‘This Feng Feiyun guy is bizarre and audacious to the extreme. He’ll do just about anything, so please just back off for a bit. Later on, it’ll be too easy for you to deal with him.’ [1]
Nevertheless, Feiyun could still hear the message due to his forty divine intents, four times that of an ordinary person. It was too easy for him to listen in.
The prince loosened up and let go of the princess: “Ah, my apology for scaring you, Princess. This was indeed just a bad joke.”
