Di Feng pointed out another person—his second son, Bu Wangzhi.
Wan Guchen frowned. He knew Di Feng intended to elevate Bu Wangzhi. Since Crown Prince Bu Wangji had been killed by Su Yun and the Demon Emperor had been won over by Su Yun, Di Feng wanted to promote Bu Wangzhi as crown prince and give him a chance to earn merit.
Xiao Xingchen was one thing; after all, he was the Grand Minister, and his cultivation had reached the summit. But Bu Wangzhi should not have been taken along. First, though Bu Wangzhi's cultivation and strength were impressive, he was still somewhat inferior to his elder brother Bu Wangji. Second, should Di Feng die in battle, Bu Wangzhi could remain in the camp and temporarily steady the troops' morale.
However, Wan Guchen was not as blunt and straightforward as Imperial Preceptor Yan Ziqi, giving Di Feng no face whatsoever. He was more inclined to go with the flow.
Having chosen the two men, Di Feng was about to leave when Wan Guchen hurriedly smiled. "Your Majesty, since Emperor Jue has brought along a book monster, why not bring a Demon Immortal as well? This subject recommends Yuan Junhou of Jishi Grotto-Heaven!"
Yuan Junhou of Jishi Grotto-Heaven was a Demon Immortal, an Immortal Lord who had been granted a marquisate.
Di Feng did not think much of it and smiled. "Bring him along."
Only then did Wan Guchen breathe easy. Though Yuan Junhou is merely an Immortal Lord, his cultivation and strength are truly at the level of a Heavenly Lord. He is not inferior in the slightest to that traitor Jing Qiuye.
Di Feng led Grand Minister Xiao Xingchen, Bu Wangzhi, and Yuan Junhou out of the camp and headed straight for the River of Divine Abilities.
