Chapter 409: The Cold Palace (2/2)

Xue Wei accepted the apology and nodded his head; his expression was finally softening slightly.

”The Empress is to be banished to the Cold Palace; the First Prince is to be confined within his cambers for the next six months.”

Xue Wei knew that it was impossible to kill the Empress and the First Prince, and for such a person, it was better to suffer humiliation.

”This matter ends here,” Xue Wei said with a nod.

The Current Emperor nodded his head feeling relieved. He was not feeling much sadness about banishing his wife for many years. This marriage was loveless, in his heart was only one figure.

A few days went by before Xue Wei once again was summoned by the Current Emperor. During these days, every Vermilion Bird Clan member came to curry favor, and the youngsters from the Ascended's Realm all came to plead for forgiveness.

While the youngsters were unaware of what it meant to be the Holy Son of the Sovereign Beasts, the older generation was completely aware of it, and thus they saw him as a treasure mine.

Making a good relationship with him was important.

After being summoned, Xue Wei was finally given the Thunder Flame Crown.

He had many expectations for this treasure, but when he stood with it in his hands, he was slightly disappointed.

It was nothing special, just as the older men of the Vermilion Bird Clan had said. It was merely a crystal crown embedded with gems. The reason it had such a history was because of its owner.

It had belonged to the first Vermilion Bird, the ancestor of their race, and thus it was an artifact they valued greatly, however not more than the future of the Vermilion Bird Clan.

Xue Wei also handed over one hundred scarlet bees, alongside two jars of scarlet honey and two Qilin Horns.

The price he paid was immense, but finally, he had succeeded in getting the item that Lan had asked of him.

He thought that Lan just wanted to add it to his collection. One thing was certain, Lan had a strange hoarding habit, and everything with just the slightest history was suitable to be within his collection, according to him.

Heck, he had even considered adding Xue Wei to his collection, just thinking about it still made him feel shivers all over his body.

Having gained the Thunder Flame Crown, Xue Wei was not sure about what to spend his time doing.

He could not return to Chang'an continent for various reasons, but most practically, he did not know the way.

But it seemed as if Lan was busy recently too. He had not taken any contact with them since they had left the Chang'an Continent, but Xue Wei did not believe that it was because of the distance. If Lan wanted to do something, nothing could stop him.

So, in the end, he decided to settle in the Demon Phoenix Continent's capital for some time, take the peaceful surroundings and focus on cultivating.

Although their cultivation had been increased when fighting with their lives on the line, their minds also needed a break from time to time, so Xue Wei decided that they could stay up to five years in the Demon Phoenix Continent before they would set out again.

At the same time, in another area of the Continent, a young man suddenly appeared out of the blue.

His hair was white, his eyes blue. He seemed not much older than twenty-five, but his eyes showed a wisdom that could only be found amongst those who had seen the passing of life.

”So this is where Lan She lives?” the man muttered to himself as he stretched his body.

”The World is not too bad, but it is quite fragmented. So many continents, how am I to find a snake that has burrowed into a hole? Oh well, I promised Lan Feng to find his son, and as his best friend, I have no other option than to do so!”

The young white-haired man smiled helplessly, and began walking, walking towards the Imperial Capital of the Demon Phoenix Continent.
