Condemning the Heavens

Chapter 399: 399

Xue Wei had, in fact, killed a whole pack of Qilins and stolen all their horns alongside with two other groups of people .

Although he did not have a massive amount of Qilin Horns, he had enough to make the Emperor interested .

But he also understood what Xue Wei was saying . He was not only offering the items that he had, but he was also reminding the Emperor that everything the Vermilion Bird Clan youngsters had now, was due to his effort .

Although he did not say it directly, the Emperor easily understood him . He was once again utterly tolerant of Xue Wei and smiled .

"I will consider it," he promised . He did not give any definite answers, but Xue Wei understood that he was not against it .

He also understood that although this man was the Emperor, the leader of the Vermilion Bird Clan, he was not able to make all decisions on his own .

There was a Retired Emperor and a Grand Elder of the Clan . These two experts usually never participated in any mundane matters, but the Thunder Flame Crown was different from ordinary decisions .

Xue Wei was not in a hurry to get the answer, either . He understood that some things could not be rushed .

After finishing their discussion about the Thunder Flame Crown, Xue Wei bid his farewell . He and his friends had the same residence as they had before, and they returned to their rooms . Here they once again began to cultivate, feed their Luan birds, and relax .

While they were busy, the princes and the other youngsters from the Vermilion Bird Clan were busy complaining to their parents about the misery they had encountered .

While many of the original members of the Vermilion Bird Clan had a positive impression of Xue Wei initially, they had changed it throughout the period they were within the Ascended’s Realm .

Many of them were jealous of Xue Wei . They blamed him for the losses they had suffered, and especially after seeing that they had a Luan bird each, they were so filled with greed, jealousy, and hatred .

They had been chased for so long by the Luan bird, and now they knew why, so their complaints were in a way reasonable, they just forgot that they were the ones who had decided to abandon Xue Wei and his friends .

The princes were crying to their concubine mothers, and even the first prince went to complain to the Empress .

The Empress was a woman who had been spoiled throughout the years . She was engaged to the Emperor since a long time ago, due to their dense bloodline, and she also regarded her son as her lifeline .

She was sure that he would become the next Emperor, and to think that her treasure had suffered so grievously in the Ascended’s Realm, she was full of fury .

Even more so whenever she thought of Xue Wei and his face, which reminded her of the woman she hated the most .

The Empress was aware that the Emperor had fallen for the Holy Maiden a long time ago, and that even now, the Holy Maiden would forever have the most important place in his heart .

Now that the Holy Maiden’s son had arrived, the Emperor was treating him better than he ever had his own sons, and the Empress was full of hatred, anger, and jealousy .

But because the Empress knew about the Emperor’s favoritism towards Xue Wei, she was hesitating to make a quick move . She had to be careful and make sure that nothing was returning to her and her son .

Xue Wei was aware that the Empress was starting to plan against him . Even so, he was aware that many would be jealous of the attention the Emperor was giving him, but he was not scared .

Even if he was going to encounter troubles, he was not going to stop pushing forward .

Now that he had seen Wang Xiaoyun again, he was finally beginning to understand some things, and he knew that when he returned to Chang’an, he had to stop the war .

So before he had the strength to do this, he could not return to Chang’an . But he had promised her to return within fifty years . He was in a hurry, he had no time to wait, and he was forced to pressure himself .

As such, he knew he grew more in chaotic environments, so he was grateful for the ones who became his stepping stones .

He could not afford to wait or slow down . Time was always flowing, and his life was waiting for him . His dear ones were waiting for him .

Sitting in his bed, he took a deep breath . He then took out some resources from his storage treasure and began cultivating, while the small Luan bird was nestling on his lap .

The Luan bird was cultivating at the same time as Xue Wei, as long as heaven and earth essence was entering his body, it was also entering the bird’s body .

The rainbow colors of the bird were lustrous, and the more it absorbed, the more it shone .

Xue Wei was calm throughout the entire process . He was absorbing the heaven and earth essence, while also refining a treasure at the same time, absorbing the energy from within .

A few days went by while Xue Wei was cultivating, and the city was bustling with life . Everyone wanted to celebrate that the Ascended’s Realm trip had come to an end, and a festival was going to be hosted two days later .

Xue Wei heard about it while casually wandering the palace, and he was in deep thought . He had gotten many resources that he could not use, some were too low level or of the wrong elemental affinity, and thus he wanted to get rid of them .

It was not that he lacked essence stones, but because he needed space in his storage treasures .
