Chapter 972: Intimidating the Three Sects

Coming to the imperial desk, Master Tiancan said with a faint smile.

"Your Majesty, why are you so angry so early in the morning?"

"That little bitch Gu Cui'er ran away and we don't know where she is." Xuanyuan Long shouted.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to rush this matter. In my opinion, there is no need to get angry now. It is time to take action against the three sects of Tiancang Kingdom." Master Tiancan said with a sinister smile.

Xuanyuan Long and Yan Li were stunned when they heard this, and both stood there in a daze.

Master Tiancan sneered and said, "If the Ninth Prince wants to hide, the three sects of Tiandiren in Kyoto are the best hiding places. I'm sure the Emperor and the Empress have already thought of this, but you are just unwilling to touch these three sects."

"This..." Xuanyuan Long fell silent, his expression turning somewhat ugly.

You know, these three sects are the life-saving talismans left to him by the late emperor! If he touches these three sects, and something happens in the future, who will protect him as the emperor?

So until now, he has been unwilling to touch these three sects, even though Xuanyuan Qing is very likely hiding in these three sects.

Yan Li consoled him, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Master is right. It's time to make this decision."

"So in your opinion, should we attack the three sects now?" Xuanyuan Long asked.

Master Tiancan and Yan Li both nodded.

Xuanyuan Long hesitated and was suddenly caught in a dilemma.

Master Tiancan said, "Your Majesty, the disappearance of Gu Cui'er this time just gives us a reason to search the three sects. If the Ninth Prince is really hiding in any of the three sects, then we can use this as an excuse to punish the three sects and capture him together. If the Ninth Prince is not hiding in any of the three sects, we can also intimidate the three sects and make them take the initiative to show their loyalty to you. Otherwise, kill them without mercy."

"Yes, the Imperial Master is right. Your Majesty, please give the order!" Yan Li echoed.

After Xuanyuan Long heard what the two said, he finally stopped struggling and nodded immediately, saying, "Okay, that's settled, Imperial Master. I'll leave this matter to you. Take your men to search the three sects immediately. If anyone dares to disobey, you will kill them without mercy."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Master Tiancan said proudly.

After saying that, he quickly took his leave and then, at the fastest speed, led his powerful men to attack the Human Sect first.

An hour later, inside Tianzong.

At this time, Feng Shishi was still in the secret room, healing Xuanyuan Qing.

One of the men quickly ran outside the secret room and reported, "Master, something terrible has happened."

"Why are you so flustered?" Feng Shishi asked.

"The Emperor has ordered a thorough investigation of the three sects and ordered a search for Gu Cui'er and the Ninth Prince. The powerful men led by the National Master have already attacked the Human Sect. Now the Human Sect has become in chaos. It won't be long before they can take down the Human Sect and then move on to the Earth Sect and the Heaven Sect!" the subordinates said anxiously.

Feng Shishi was so anxious that cold sweat immediately broke out on her forehead.

At this time, Yuan Jie, who was taking care of Gu Chan in the secret room next to her, was also alarmed and hurried over to say, "Sister Shishi, I will take the two of them away. No matter what, I can't stay here and cause trouble for you."

"It's useless. No matter if you run away or not, the emperor has made up his mind to completely eradicate our three sects of heaven, earth and man." Feng Shishi said in a deep voice.

"What should we do now?" Yuan Jie asked anxiously.

Feng Shishi was silent for a moment, then she stared at her subordinates and said, "You and Yuan Jie, take Gu Cui'er and the Ninth Prince, and leave through the secret passage immediately. After leaving Tianzong, you must leave the city immediately and rush to Zhongyuan City. Don't delay."

"Master, what about you?" the subordinate asked.

"We, mother and son, must stay. Otherwise, the Tianzong will be leaderless and there will be countless casualties." Feng Shishi said.

Yuan Jie couldn't bear it any longer, and immediately rushed over, opened her arms and hugged Feng Shishi, crying, "Sister Shishi, you two must take care of yourselves!"

"Don't worry! I have a way to deal with it, and the emperor will never dare to touch us mother and son. Otherwise, once we die here, my husband will definitely lead his troops to Kyoto to take his head. Even for my husband's sake, he will not kill us." Feng Shishi said calmly.

After hearing what she said, Yuan Jie's heart, which had been hanging in her chest, finally calmed down.

Feng Shishi urged, "Alright, let's go! If we're any later, we might not be able to leave."

"Sister Shishi, take care of yourselves." Yuan Jie bowed and said.

After saying that, she and her men quickly carried Gu Chan and Xuanyuan Qing on their backs and fled from the Tianzong secret passage.

Feng Shishi pretended nothing had happened and went to the yard above to play with her son.

At noon, when Master Tiancan led a group of powerful men to Tianzong, the gate of Tianzong had already been opened.

Feng Shishi and her son led everyone and lined up in the huge Tianzong Square, where they held a grand welcome ceremony to greet the arrival of the National Master and others.

Seeing this, Master Tiancan sighed helplessly and said, "It seems that I am still a step too late. If I had known earlier, I should have attacked your Tian Sect first. Originally, I thought that the most likely sect to hide the two of them should be the Ren Sect. Now it seems that I miscalculated."

"Master Imperial Master, I don't know what you are talking about. Aren't you going to search the three sects? Now all of us are here and we will never stop you. Take your men and go in to search!" Feng Shishi said pretending to be stupid.

The Heavenly Silkworm Master rolled his eyes at her coldly and said, "Stop talking nonsense. I just want to ask you one question: are you and your son willing to hand over the entire Tianzong?"

"The three sects of Heaven, Earth and Man were originally established by the late emperor. Our three sects have always been loyal to the royal family. Now that the emperor wants to take back the three sects, what else can we, mother and son, say?" Feng Shishi said, spreading her hands.

"Okay, that's enough as long as you have this awareness." Master Tiancan said with satisfaction.

Feng Shishi picked up her son, turned around and said to the people behind her, "Everyone listen, from now on, my son and I will no longer be in charge of Tianzong. All of you will obey the emperor in the future and you must not make any mistakes."

"Yes, master." Everyone said in unison.

Feng Shishi turned around and looked at Master Tiancan and said, "Master Imperial Master, if my mother and I leave here, we will have nowhere to go. I wonder if the emperor can give us a mansion so that we can live a good life?"

"Of course, please come in!" said Master Tiancan, waving his hand.

Feng Shishi grinned, held her son in her arms without fear, and left with him.

After they left, the powerful men brought by Master Tiancan easily took over the entire Tianzong, and began to conduct routine interrogations of all the people in Tianzong and conduct a thorough search of the entire Tianzong.

But no matter how they interrogated or searched, they could not find any clues about Gu Chan and Xuanyuan Qing. In the end, they had no choice but to give up.

By night, the three sects in Tiancang Kingdom's capital were firmly under Xuanyuan Long's control.
