As the saying goes, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and even tigers can be bullied by dogs. At this moment, the Sixth Prince, who was forced to get into Liu Mufeng’s sleeves, felt extremely aggrieved. He had never suffered such grievances since he was a child.
“Fifth Brother, that Liu Mufeng is such a bully. He actually treats us as pets and makes us hide in his sleeves.” The Sixth Prince complained in dissatisfaction.
“Okay, stop talking. He is also doing it for our own good. Don’t forget, there is someone who doesn’t want us to come back alive. If he doesn’t hide us tightly, I’m afraid we will die in the city without even being able to see our Father. Come on.” The Fifth Prince understood that Liu Mufeng did this not to humiliate them brothers, but to protect them.
He knew that Liu Mufeng was a smart man, and what Liu Mufeng wanted was the 200 million immortal crystals. If they were discovered by the Second Brother before meeting their Father and Mother, then the two of them would certainly be dead. Liu Mufeng himself would also be in trouble. Not only would he not be able to get the immortal crystal, but he might also be regarded as their accomplice and be killed by the Second Brother. Therefore, Liu Mufeng had to be careful and cautious.
Meeting such a smart and careful ally, the Fifth Prince felt that this was their luck.
After hearing what his Fifth Brother said, the Sixth Prince was stunned. “Fifth Brother, are you saying that the Second Brother will intercept and kill us?” The Sixth Prince really didn’t expect this.
“Don’t forget, half of the army in the city is under the control of the Second Brother. If we walk into the city in a flashy manner, the Second Brother will be the first to spot us.” At this point, the Fifth Prince couldn’t help but frown.
“So it’s like this.” At first, the Sixth Prince thought that Liu Mufeng was intentionally targeting them.
At this moment, he finally understood, so it turned out that Liu Mu Feng wasn’t doing it for the measly few immortal crystals required for entering the city, but for their safety. Upon this thought, the Sixth Prince could not help but feel a little guilty that he hadn’t thought of the things that Liu Mufeng could think of. He was really stupid enough.
“Don’t underestimate Liu Mufeng, he is much smarter than you.” The Fifth Prince said with a smile.
“I wrongly blamed him.” The Sixth Prince lowered his head in shame. It was him who took it for granted, he thought that he would be safe as long as he returned to Huwei City, but, in reality, it wasn’t like that, before he met his Father and Mother, he wasn’t safe, and at any moment, he could be killed by his half-brother, his Second Brother.
Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu waited in line for an hour, paid the immortal crystals for entering the city, and smoothly entered the Tiger Clan’s Imperial City– Huwei City.
After asking around on the road, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu quickly found the Tiger Clan’s Palace.
“Stop, this is the Palace of the Tiger Clan, no one is allowed to enter without permission.” The four eighth-level guards guarding the door immediately blocked Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu’s way.

“Okay, then wait a moment.” After thinking for a moment, the guard took Liu Mufeng’s waist pendant and left.
In the palace, the Tiger Emperor, dressed in luxurious immortal clothes and had a resolute and deep appearance, was sitting upright on the throne. Next to him was his Wife, the Empress of the Tiger Clan, Hu Xiangyun. This Empress of the Tiger Clan was at the Immortal King level, and she was also the biological Mother of the Fifth and Sixth Princes.
On the left side of the Tiger Emperor sat his two Sons, the Second Prince and the Third Prince. These two Sons were not born to the Empress, but were born by concubines. However, the Eldest Prince of the three Sons born to the Empress had died, and the whereabouts of the Fifth and Sixth Princes were unknown. Therefore, these two concubine Princes were now very favored.
“Father, Mother, this Son has already enlisted the Apocalypse Hunting Group from the Human Race to help find the whereabouts of the Fifth and Sixth Brothers. Don’t worry, I believe there will be news about the two Brothers soon.” Looking at his Father and Empress Mother who were on the throne, the Second Prince’s every word was leaking out his filial piety to his parents and his concern for his two Younger Brothers who went out. Both the roles of filial son and benevolent brother were portrayed to the fullest.
“Yes Father, Mother, Old Four and the other three Elders have also taken a large number of Tiger Clan guards to look for them, so I believe there will soon be news of the two younger brothers.” Nodding, the Third Prince also said the same.
The Tiger Emperor nodded. “It’s been thirty years, and I don’t know where these two children have gone? I hope they are safe and sound.”
“Your Majesty.” The Empress called softly, and her tears couldn’t help but fall. She only had three Sons. The Eldest Son died and the whereabouts of the two youngest Sons were unknown. How could the Empress not be worried?
“Yun’er, don’t be like this. The two children will be fine.” The Tiger Emperor hugged the Empress’s shoulders and hurriedly comforted his wife.
“Report, Your Majesty, the Human Race’s Shao Merchant House has sent someone to negotiate with Your Majesty.” As he spoke, the guard knelt respectfully in the hall and raised the identity card in his hand above his head.
Walking over, a servant immediately stepped forward to take the identity card and handed it to the Tiger Emperor.
Receiving the identity card, the Tiger Emperor looked at it. “Yes, it is indeed the identity tag of the Shao family. Who is here? Is it the Shao Clan’s First or Second Young Master?” The Tiger Clan and the Shao Clan’s Merchant House also cooperated, and the ones who usually came to the Tiger Emperor to talk business were the Shao Clan’s Family Head’s Eldest and Second Sons.
“It’s not the two Immortal Kings, it’s the two Void Immortals who are both human cultivators. They look like strangers.” Because the Tiger Clan cooperated with the Shao Clan, the two Immortal Kings of the Shao Clan often came here. Therefore, the guard at the door knew the Eldest and Second Young Masters of the Shao family.
“Oh? There’s been a change, huh? How could that be?”The Tiger Emperor was a little confused about this.
“Father, this Son thinks this is not right, we only negotiated business with the Shao family at the beginning of the year, why did the Shao family come back after only two months? Most likely someone is an impostor, Father has to be on guard.” At this point, the Second Prince frowned deeply.
The Tiger Emperor waved his hand. “Impossible. I know the Shao Merchant House identity card. It is genuine and cannot be faked.”
“But why did the Shao family suddenly change people?” The Second Prince, who was suspicious by nature, couldn’t understand this.
“Perhaps something special happened. Go and invite people in.” The Tiger Emperor ordered as he returned the identity badge to the guard.
“Yes.” In response, the guard turned and left.
Not long after, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu were invited into the Tiger Clan’s main hall.
The Tiger Clan’s Palace was decorated with grandeur and luxury. Sitting on a high position were a mighty and domineering male demon cultivator with blond hair and a graceful female demon cultivator. Sitting on the side were two male tiger cultivators dressed in fancy clothes. Liu Mufeng took a quick glance and guessed the identities of the four people.
When Liu Mufeng was looking at the Tiger Emperor, the Tiger Emperor also glanced at the two cultivators who walked in. Both of them had very handsome features, one had a delicate appearance, and the other had a resolute and deep appearance. Not only were they handsome, they were both very young. With a bone age of only two thousand years, one had the cultivation level of the late stage Void Immortal, and the other was of the middle stage Void Immortal. These cultivation qualifications were considered very good in the Middle Heavenly Domain.
“Human Liu Mufeng pays homage to His Majesty the Tiger Emperor, and pays homage to Her Royal Highness the Empress.” Liu Mufeng lowered his head and saluted the other party respectfully.
“Human Jiang Xu, pays homage to Your Majesty and pays homage to the Empress.” Jiang Xu also immediately bowed his head.
After looking at the two, the Tiger Emperor nodded. “You two good Nephews don’t need to be polite. Someone, give them a seat.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty.” With a smile, Liu Mufeng thanked him immediately. This was the first time Liu Mufeng had seen an Immortal Emperor up close. It had to be said that compared to an Immortal King, the terrifying pressure on an Immortal Emperor was more uncomfortable to one’s body.
Walking to the empty seats opposite the two Princes, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu sat down.
“Nephew Liu, haven’t we already agreed on the business between the Tiger Clan and your Shao Family at the beginning of the year? Why did Fellow Daoist Shao send you here again? Is there any other problem?” The Tiger Emperor asked directly.
“Your Majesty, there is no problem with the business between the Tiger Clan and the Shao Family. I am here today to discuss another business with Your Majesty.” Liu Mufeng said with a smile.
“Oh? What kind of business is it? You might as well tell me.” The Tiger Emperor asked with a smile.
“This is a gift I have prepared for Your Majesty and Your Highness the Empress. Please take a look at it first. If you are satisfied, we will discuss it again.” With that, Liu Mufeng took out a mahogany box.
“Alright.” The Tiger Emperor nodded, and the servant immediately took the box and delivered it to the Tiger Emperor.
Opening the box and looking at the golden hair in the box, the Tiger Emperor couldn’t help but widen his eyes. The Empress’s expression also changed greatly.
“This, this is…” Seeing the hair in the box, the Empress’s tears rolled down again.
Taking the lid of the box, Tiger Emperor immediately closed it. He turned his head and looked at Liu Mufeng seriously. “Nephew Liu, what do you mean?”
“Your Majesty, I want to have a secret conversation with you and Her Royal Highness the Empress, the four of us only.” Liu Mufeng spoke word by word as he met the Tiger Emperor’s gaze.
“Okay, everyone, step back.” After speaking, the Tiger Emperor motioned for everyone to step back.
“Yes.” In response, the servants and maids serving on the side all exited the Palace.
After looking at the thirty or so servants who had left, Liu Mufeng looked at the two Princes sitting opposite.
“You two also stand down.” The Tiger Emperor said coldly.
“Father, the origins of these two people are unknown. I am worried about them…” The Second Prince said worriedly as he looked at his Father.
“Worried? What is there to worry about? Do you think that I can’t even defeat two Void Immortals?” The Tiger Emperor said with an unkind expression.
“This……”
“Step back!” The Tiger Emperor ordered coldly.
“Yes.” In response, the Second Prince and the Third Prince reluctantly exited the Palace.
