Chapter 661: A Jade Seal Passed Down For 10,000 Years (2/2)

He could govern a nation without any problems.

In this one year’s time, he was able to double the standard of living for his citizens in the Great Tang Dynasty. But for him to fight against an expert at the Profound Emperor realm, all he could say was that he had the heart but lacked the strength. It was useless no matter how desperately he tried to cultivate.

“It would be great if Prince Consort Luo was here. He will definitely have a way to deal with the City Lord of Heavenly Plume City and that Nangong Jue.”

“He offended the Starsea Immortal Sect before he could become an immortal sect disciple. I’m afraid he can’t even protect himself this past year, so where would he have the time to bother with our Heavenly Sword City? Those immortal sect disciples all look down on us mortals.”

“Prince Consort Luo isn’t that kind of person.”

“What use is there to discuss such things? He’s currently in Mount Hua Immortal Sect. Even experts at the peak of the Profound Venerate realm will take a month to rush there to bring him the news. I’m afraid Heavenly Sword City will be gone within a month’s time.”

“The young masters of Heavenly Plume City and the Sea Cloud Sect were both killed by Luo Tian. Why has it become our Great Tang’s responsibility now? If they have the guts, they should go to Mount Hua Immortal Sect to look for Luo Tian.”

“Your Majesty, no matter what, we can’t hand over the founding jade seal. It is our Great Tang’s inheritance, one that spans over ten thousand years. We definitely can’t hand it over to Heavenly Plume City. I believe Heavenly Plume City must have an alternative use for it. If they gain possession of it, that is similar to gaining control of the Great Tang.” One of the old ministers said solemnly.

Some nodded in agreement.

Some weren’t declaring their stance.

Tang Jiu sighed internally. He looked at the people inside the hall before saying: “Everyone may leave.”

They couldn’t give any good advice, and it’s also impossible for them to come up with any.

They were simply too weak when facing an expert at the Profound Emperor realm.

This was a world for the strong. When facing off against a stronger opponent, the weak can only submit or die.

Tang Jiu stared off into the blue skies and muttered: “It would be great if idol was here. He can definitely deal with Heavenly Plume City. It’s only that I don’t know how he’s doing right now, or how Feng Lei and the others are doing either.”

“Tang Tang, junior sister Yue’er, and that little girl Chunchun… I wonder where they are right now, sigh~…”

There were plenty of nights where Tang Jiu was thinking of them.

Even in his dreams, he wanted to follow Luo Tian to brave dangers and go on adventures. But he couldn’t do it because he couldn’t just leave the Great Tang behind.

There was a moment of silence.

Tang Jiu held up the founding jade seal and started turning it over to carefully observe it. He didn’t find any clues from it and could only tell it was carved from an ordinary black jade. A dragon head carved onto a square seal, nothing special could be seen at all. “What does the City Lord of Heavenly Plume City need this jade seal for? It definitely cannot be something as simple as controlling the Great Tang. There has to be another use for it.”

“It doesn’t matter what use it has, all I know is that we cannot hand over the jade seal to them. An item passed down to us from the old ancestor cannot be lost under my watch.”

Passed down for ten thousand years!

What use does the founding empire’s jade seal have?

Tang Jiu didn’t know.

———-

An entrance to the Imperial Palace.

Luo Tian was stopped there.

“Is the Emperor someone you can see just because you want to see him?”

“Go away and play somewhere else.”

“Kid, I’m going to tell you one last time – the Imperial Palace is an important place so random people are not allowed entry.”

“What’s the ruckus about? Why are you guys so loud?”

At this time, a leader-like person walked over and glared at the two guards. He then glanced at Luo Tian and said: “This brother, the Imperial Palace is an important place, so outsiders aren’t allowed to…”

Before he could finish speaking, that person’s expression drastically changed. His brows were furrowed as he tried to think with all his might. His eyes suddenly widened as he gasped out: “Pri…”

Luo Tian smiled and made a gesture of silence with his hand.

That person was incomparably excited and quickly shouted: “He is the Emperor’s honored guest! Immediately let him through!”

There were many changes in a year’s time but many people still recognized Luo Tian.

Luo Tian didn’t hesitate as he quickly entered the Imperial Palace.

The guard leader following behind Luo Tian was incomparably excited. “Prince Consort, you’re finally back! Heavenly Sword City can be saved now!”
