Ch594 - Successful Peace Talks

When the three Immortal Emperors heard what Liu Mufeng had to say, they were left completely shocked. Patriarch Xuanyuan, in particular, never could have imagined that this Immortal King Junior would have such an extraordinary status.

“Bullshit! You’re a human. How could you possibly be the Son of the Dragon Emperor? That’s impossible!” Sect Leader Sun shook his head, clearly not believing any of it.

Seeing how skeptical Sect Leader Sun was, Liu Mufeng smiled and produced Long Xingtian’s Dragon command medallion from his storage ring and placed it on the table. “This is my Father’s command medallion!”

Sect Leader Sun reached out and grabbed the command medallion, examining it for a long moment. Then, he sent a bit of his soul into it to probe it further. However, the Dragon Might of the command medallion sent him flying backward. Feeling the power of the command medallion, he couldn’t help but believe Liu Mufeng’s words. “You… you really are the Son of the Dragon Emperor?”

“To be more precise, I am his adopted Son. His Majesty has two Sons. My Older Brother is Long Zhe, and he is the Son of my Uncle Long Aotian. He is His Majesty’s heir and is currently the Crown Prince of the Dragon Clan. I am His Majesty’s adopted Son and am currently the Second Prince.” Liu Mufeng continued to explain everything honestly.

Sect Leader Sun frowned. He was also aware of the matter of the Upper Heavenly Domain and knew that what Liu Mufeng was saying was true. The Dragon Emperor was named Long Xingtian, and he had married a man from the Snake Clan. He had no children, and the Dragon Crown Prince was indeed the Son of Long Aotian, the Dragon Emperor’s Younger Brother. It wasn’t a secret in the Upper Heavenly Domain, but very few people in the Middle Heavenly Domain knew about it.

Sect Leader Sun knew because the Yutian Sect of Lingze Heaven had always been in contact with the Yutian Sect of the Upper Heavenly Domain and could exchange messages with them. However, Liu Mufeng also knew about this matter, which meant that he was most likely who he claimed to be.

Sect Leader Sun looked at the command medallion in his hand and thought about how Liu Mufeng, an Immortal King, knew about the affairs of the Dragon Clan. He was now convinced of about seventy percent of what Liu Mufeng was saying.

“Mufeng, you really are quite the hidden talent!” Patriarch Xuanyuan said with a smile as he looked at Liu Mufeng.

At first, when his Grandson told him that he wanted to marry that little insect, Patriarch Xuanyuan had been somewhat resistant. However, he couldn’t force his Grandson to do anything, and he was also somewhat afraid of Liu Mufeng’s status as a Poison Master. Therefore, he had reluctantly agreed to it. But now things were different. If Liu Mufeng really was the adopted Son of the Dragon Emperor, then wouldn’t that mean that the Xuanyuan Clan had climbed up to become a noble family? That would mean they were affiliated with a Supreme Immortal Emperor! A Supreme Immortal Emperor! The true ruler of the thirty-three heavens!

“It’s not that Mufeng is being secretive. It’s just that, considering my current level of power, I really don’t have the face to mention my Godfather.” The truth was that Liu Mufeng had never wanted to use Long Xingtian’s name to his advantage. If not for the fact that this matter was so troublesome, he would never have revealed his identity.

“Aiya, Mufeng, you’re being too humble. You’re still so young, Having this level of power is already pretty impressive. I’m sure His Majesty the Dragon Emperor would be very happy to see that you’ve returned from your training and already become an Immortal King.” Patriarch Xuanyuan smiled as he spoke comfortingly.

“I hope so!” Liu Mufeng replied with a smile.

“About the three things the Second Prince of the Dragon Race asked about, this venerable one can consider them. However, if you go back to the Upper Heavenly Domain, how will I contact you to collect on your promise?” Sect Leader Sun frowned.

Second, Liu Mufeng was a member of the Xuanyuan Clan by marriage and also had a very close relationship with the Qingyun Sect. If he were to kill Liu Mufeng, it would be very possible that the Yutian Sect would have to face the Qingyun Sect. The Qingyun Sect currently had three Immortal Emperors, so if that happened, it would be very bad for the Yutian Sect. Therefore, before coming here, Sect Leader Sun had planned to negotiate a settlement. However, he had wanted to bleed Liu Mufeng dry.

Now that he knew Liu Mufeng’s identity, he felt that the three things from the Dragon Clan Prince were worth more than any territory or compensation.

“Do I need to sign a contract?” Liu Mufeng asked with a smile.

“No need.” Sect Leader Sun shook his head. “You’re the Second Prince of the Dragon Clan. If you didn’t care about the Xuanyuan Clan or your pet, you could have just left and gone back to the Upper Heavenly Domain without coming to meet me. But you did come, which means you care about the Xuanyuan Clan and your pet. Since that’s the case, I don’t have any worries about you breaking the terms of our agreement.”

“Okay,” said Liu Mufeng. “Thank you very much, Sect Leader Sun.” He bowed his head in thanks.

With everything resolved, everyone exchanged some pleasantries and then left.

**********

Nighttime. Xuanyuan Clan.

Patriarch Xuanyuan and Elder Lin sat in their chairs, smiling as they looked at Xuanyuan Cheng and Xiaoyuan, who stood off to the side.

“Grandpa, Master, what’s going on? Why did you call us over as soon as you got home? I just got married yesterday. At least give me a few months to get intimate with my wife.” Xuanyuan Cheng complained, his face dark. He clearly looked like he wanted to get intimate with his wife.

Seeing the look on his Grandson’s face, Patriarch Xuanyuan couldn’t help but roll his eyes. “Stupid brat, you’ve already brought her home. What’s the rush?”

“That’s right, Cheng’er. We’re all family here. We should sit down and chat properly.” Elder Lin nodded in agreement.

“Grandpa, Master, did the negotiation today not go well? Are Master and Boss Jiang okay?” Xiaoyuan couldn’t help but worry about the two Elders who had called them over so late at night.

“Granddaughter-in-Law, don’t worry. The negotiation went very smoothly. Sect Leader Sun was very pleased. Mufeng and the others have already left and returned to the Upper Heavenly Domain” Patriarch Xuanyuan smiled as he explained the results to Xiaoyuan.

“Oh!” Xiaoyuan sighed in relief.

In fact, even if she had the mood, she really didn’t feel like dual cultivating in her new room. Ever since her Master and the others had left, she had been unable to sit still. Even if her Grandfather and her husband’s Master hadn’t called for her, she would have come to ask about the situation as soon as she heard that the two Seniors had returned.

“Don’t worry, dear. Liu Mufeng and the others are fine. If anything had happened to them, you would have sensed it long ago.” Elder Lin smiled warmly.

“Oh, that’s true.” Xiaoyuan nodded. She knew that if her Master was injured, she would sense it without anyone telling her.

“Granddaughter-in-Law, you see, you’ve already married my Grandson. We’re family now. I didn’t know much about you in the past, so why don’t we chat a bit? That way I can get to know you better.”

Xuanyuan Cheng rolled his eyes. “Old man, what are you saying? This is my wife, not yours. Why do you need to get to know her?”

“Watch your mouth! You’re getting more and more impudent!” Patriarch Xuanyuan scolded him sternly.

“Dear, come sit down. This is some tea Liu Mufeng gave me. It’s quite nice. Why don’t you have a cup?” Elder Lin poured a cup of tea for Xiaoyuan.

“I…” Xiaoyuan looked at the two Seniors, who were being a bit too enthusiastic. She wasn’t stupid. She knew that considering her status, neither her Grandfather nor her husband’s Master would ever look up to her. That was why she had never expected them to treat her with any sort of favor. But now, they had completely changed their attitude.What was going on?

“Hey, that’s enough! What are you two old bastards doing, staring at my wife with those grinning faces?” Xuanyuan Cheng also sensed that something was off and immediately stepped in front of Xiaoyuan to shield her.

“What are you yapping about?” Elder Lin said as he stood up and pushed his disciple aside, then pulled Xiaoyuan over to sit down between him and Patriarch Xuanyuan. “Sit here.”

“Hey, what are you doing, Master? Don’t touch my wife.” Xuanyuan Cheng hurried over and sat down next to his wife. His intentions were obvious.

“Aiya, you little brat. What are you worried about? I cultivate the Heartless Dao.” Elder Lin rolled his eyes in irritation.

“Even if you’re a cultivator of the Heartless Dao, you can’t be grabbing and groping your own disciple’s wife!” Xuanyuan Cheng shot a glare at his Master.

“You little brat!” Elder Lin glared at Xuanyuan Cheng and then laughed in anger.

“Enough, Third Child, don’t interrupt.” Patriarch Xuanyuan looked over at his Grandson and then turned to look at Xiaoyuan. “Granddaughter-in-Law, I have something to ask you. Do you know the Dragon Emperor?”

“The Dragon Emperor? What Dragon Emperor? Grandpa, what are you asking about? The Dragon Emperor is the Supreme Immortal Emperor of the Upper Heavenly Domain. How could my wife possibly know him?” Xuanyuan Cheng asked helplessly, “Grandpa, what are you asking about?”

Xiaoyuan was taken aback by Patriarch Xuanyuan’s question. “Is Grandpa talking about Long Xingtian?”

“Long…” The corner of Patriarch Xuanyuan’s mouth twitched as he watched his Granddaughter-in-Law blurt out the name of the Dragon Emperor.

“Granddaughter-in-Law, it’s impolite to say the Dragon Emperor’s name.” Elder Lin hurriedly reminded her.

“Oh, of course I wouldn’t say it in front of him. But that’s what we call him behind his back. What’s wrong with him? Did he come to Lingze Heaven too?” Xiaoyuan was confused.

“Oh, the Dragon Emperor didn’t come. Your Grandfather just wanted to ask if you knew about the relationship between the Dragon Emperor and Mufeng.” Elder Lin said with a smile.

Xiaoyuan blinked. “My Master told you?”

“Yes. He said he was the Dragon Emperor’s Godson.” Patriarch Xuanyuan nodded.

“Oh.” Xiaoyuan nodded in understanding.
