28 Long Fengge 2/2 (1/2)
Dragon Continent Calendar, Year 7622. Winter.
Life comes and goes. In the blink of an eye, more than a decade had passed. Long Fengge was now nearing the age of eighteen. At this point, he was a renowned son of heaven; furthermore, he was the esteemed crown prince! A peerless genius who stood among the great dragons.
Standing amidst the Royal Palace's grassy fields, Long Fengge gazed into the distance. To the peerlessly handsome man's side, there was a scarlet-robed nation-shattering beauty.
This beauty was naturally the grown-up little scarlet-robed Zhi Ruo. The famous childhood sweethearts were supposed to be hailed as the most legendary pairing of the millennium. The two had grown up together; furthermore, their cultivation bases were similar. However, to the public's surprise, no word of possible engagement had been heard.
In reality, Long Fengge was concealing his true cultivation base when under the guise of the crown prince. In the eyes of the outsiders, he was a scholar-like cultivator at the Nascent Soul level. In other words, the equivalent of a Crystal Dragon realm cultivator.

In the Long Kingdom, innumerable beauties had fallen in love with the legendary crown prince. The legends regarding the noble crown prince were countless. In the households of citizens, it was a lively common occurrence to tell the tale of the crown prince's childhood as a popular children's story.
Behind the golden-eyed, black-robed Long Fengge, there were countless of his loyal subordinates. In just a little over ten years, he had gathered the cream of the crop: the best of the best. With his unparalleled bearing, he had succeeded in raising the strength of the Secret Legion to the level of a continental superpower.
In the Secret Legion, every single member had an incredible backstory. In some way or another, their lives had been saved by this black-robed youth. Long Fengge smiled to himself, ”Soon, my job will be over.”
”…” Zhi Ruo saw her childhood sweetheart's melancholic look, and she clenched her snowy teeth, but she did not say anything. The black-robed man was wearing a mask; however, she could still see through his emotions with ease.
Throughout the past decade, the little scarlet-robed girl had gradually understood Long Fengge's character. With her trembling red lips, Zhi Ruo's beautiful phoenix eyes softly quivered in the wind.
Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, Long Fengge swiftly rose to prominence. Lifting his mother up from the status of a meager concubine to the lofty position of empress. Swiftly shocking everyone who once disdained him! However, Zhi Ruo was not happy. Instead, she grew more forlorn day by day watching her one love seemingly trying to fulfill an unknown 'mission.' From the beginning, she had only wanted to create a bright future for the two of them.
But after time, Zhi Ruo discovered that the once childlike Long Fengge had seemingly a whole other world on his mind. Within his thoughts, there was absolutely no room for romance. In her life, no one had managed to escape the enticement of her heavenly beauty, but the one person she desperately wanted to enchant was completely immune. What happened to not keeping secrets? Why couldn't he fully trust her?
”Hong long long~”
Lifting his palm, Long Fengge smiled. With a thought, he caused a massive distortion in the air. Opening a fully pitch-black portal, he stepped inside, and he chuckled to his friends, ”Let's go.”
”Yes, Master!”
After his words, the entire Secret Legion humbly bowed, and the members all followed respectfully. Long Fengge thought, ”This should be the final major enemy that the Long Kingdom will have to face for a while.”
Long Fengge's golden eyes turned sharp, and he frowned, ”The actions of the Holy Sect have been too overbearing recently. I should humble them before things get out of hand.”

Emerging on the other side of the portal filled with endless darkness, Long Fengge examined the vast, magnificent abode of the Holy Sect. Across the deluxe hall, there were incredible statues of numerous mythological deities.
Flowing man-made waterfalls, rows of beautiful golden decks, and the benches on the side were topped with numerous priceless magic treasures. Upon his grand entrance, numerous worshippers of the Holy Sect spotted the black-robed man wearing an exquisite, black cherry-blossom mask.
”It's the Secret Legion!” Inside the vast church, worried cries resounded everywhere. The devout worshippers of both men and women began fleeing with haste. The Holy Sect had numerous hubs for worship, but the one Long Fengge invaded was the head church containing the top followers!
At the forefront of the church, there stood six magnificent archbishops with unfathomable cultivation bases. To become an archbishop, the minimum requirement was to be a high being of the Nascent Soul realm!
