Chapter 299: Burning with Rage
"Where are my parents?" Seeing the Emperor completely stunned, Lin Yun asked again, his voice louder. Only after he asked a second time did the Emperor finally snap out of it. His first instinct was to look at Tang Chenming, who stood to the side.
When the Emperor looked his way, Tang Chenming snapped irritably, "Hurry up and release them."
Hearing this, the Emperor finally understood. Lin Yun now had the backing of the Flawless Palace; the Royal Family was powerless against him.
Not daring to defy Tang Chenming, the Emperor quickly ordered his men to bring up Lin Xiaotian, Zhong Lin, and the others.
The Forbidden Guard Army received the order and hurried to the Celestial Prison. Meanwhile, Lin Yun and the others waited in the Purple Gold Hall. With Luo Feng present, they were confident the Emperor wouldn’t dare pull any stunts.
On the Imperial Platform, Du Ying sat with his eyes closed in meditation, while Luo Feng casually drank fine wine, a tipsy flush on his face.
After dispatching men to retrieve Lin Xiaotian and the others, the Emperor’s gaze on Lin Yun was a complex mix of emotions. No one had expected that, even in a situation like this, Lin Yun would manage to secure the backing of the Flawless Palace.
Furthermore, the fact that Luo Feng had come to Yanhuang Country in person showed how highly the Flawless Palace regarded Lin Yun. Otherwise, there would have been no need for Luo Feng to make a personal appearance.
The boy from Iron Gate Pass had grown into a figure that even the Yanhuang Royal Family had to dread. As the Emperor looked at Lin Yun, an indescribable feeling welled up inside him.
Like the Emperor, Tang Chenming was also in a miserable position. He had laid an inescapable trap, yet it had still failed to kill Lin Yun. Instead, the situation had escalated, even drawing out Luo Feng. This matter was now far beyond his control; he didn’t even have a say in it anymore.
