For a second, his eyes drifted as he remembered their true purpose in allowing Liu Feng to come here. They wanted him to make a distraction big enough for them to go to that prison that his mother was trapped in and rescue her.

That was clearly his father’s goal, and it was much more important than whatever Liu Feng was doing here, trying to become the king and all.

Liu Feng felt nothing for the person that he was supposed to call father. His previous body felt nothing, and neither did he. This father of his, Liu Lingtian, was a total stranger to him. But his mother was not like that. His mother was a part of him, a part of his spiritual soul.

She was there for him when he needed her, and helped him out more than once. So when the time would come, Liu Feng would not hesitate to help out and get her released.

“Family head, now that the king is no longer alive, who takes the throne on important decisions like executions and the like? And what about that prison deep in the palace grounds? I believe that my mother is in there. Who is the warden of that prison?” Liu Feng asked.

“I am afraid that sometimes, there are no answers to some questions. And this is one of those questions, Young Noble. No one knows who the warden of the prison is, and I don’t think that this situation has ever happened where there was no king of Tiandu. But when you do become the king, you have the right to release your mother, the Dragon Princess, from her captivity.” he nodded.

“Alright then. Now that that’s out the way, let’s go get ourselves a prince on our side. We are wasting too much time already. I am sure that the crown prince already knows of this, and he may have already started working on his rounds.” Liu Feng said.

Liu Feng still had questions. Primarily on his mind was why his mother was held captive, and why the king said that strange thing. Something about him maintaining neutrality. It was weird. Why would the king be forced to maintain neutrality? Was there another curse on the throne that he didn’t know?

But the system promised to flush out all of the curses that were given to him from the throne, so he didn’t want to worry about that. He had to focus on the task at hand which was to get the support of more than just one prince. And to do that, he needed to go into complete diplomat mode.

“Where is the seventh prince staying, family head? Please, lead the way. This is only the second time that I have been to the capital, and the last time was quick and uneventful.” Jake pointed out.

“Of course, Young Noble. But it was a good visit the last time. You were able to get the support of the tenth princess, and you were also able to understand that your woman was in danger.” Cai Guo smiled, trying to fawn up to his disturbed young master.

Liu Feng did not say anything though. He did not refute the fact that nothing was official, because why would he need to? For now, she was in his protection.

Shaking his head, he looked at Cai Guo again.

“Let us move then. Get going.” Liu Feng said.

Cai Guo nodded, and all of a sudden, his figure became a little transluscent. With each passing second, the transcluscence was becoming less opaque. It was an afterimage created by the sheer speed of Cai Guo. He had to pull out the big guns to show his Young Noble that he was not going to waste any more time.

Liu Feng smiled as he also moved. His legs became a blur, but his body seemed to vanish completely. There was no afterimage even. It wasn’t like he moved so fast that there was an afterimage. He moved so fast that it felt like teleportation.

Instantly, he appeared next to Cai Guo, above the skies of the Cai family grounds, above so many disciples underneath. Within a few seconds, they crossed the family estate with ease. But Cai Guo was the shocked one here. His speed had reason.

He was one of the rare few who was in the peak of the Soul Evolution Stage! After years of cultivation and understanding that there was no way he could cross this stage in this realm, he decided to stop cultivating his dantian, and focus on honing his skills, his power, speed, and defense. Over the years, he had been focusing on just his battle readiness, and that was why he was so fast.

But Liu Feng, a simple junior was able to catch up to him even though he was going full tilt. The last few times that Liu Feng was following Cai Guo, Cai Guo wasn’t traveling with his maximum speed because there was others with Liu Feng, and it would be rude to just leave them in the dust.

But Cai Guo decided that this was time to do that because he needed Liu Feng to understand that none of what was going on was possibly without him. He needed to prove himself now, because in the last fight, none from the Cai family were even remotely useful. Every single kill came from Liu Feng and his batch of teammates, and that fact was killing Cai Guo.

He promised that he would help Liu Feng and his party and even put Liu Feng on the throne, but Liu Feng clearly came from power. He didn’t bat an eye when Soul Evolution Stage cultivators died! A rare thing in the kingdom, and a rare thing everywhere.

Suddenly, they stopped in front of a gate and a courtyard beyond.

“We are here, Young Noble.” Cai Guo said.
