Even if Feng Baxing had done crimes against the Temple of the Four Guardians as well as the Empire, his punishment wouldn't have been the crippling of his cultivation.

At the very least, it wouldn't be done immediately.

Regardless of his actions, he was still a prince of the Dao Wind Empire and they needed to follow the rules and regulations. The only person who was qualified to punish him without consequences would be his father, the Emperor himself.

As much as Feng Shun and High Elder Juxue would have wanted to do the same, they knew to hold back. Plus there were still lifesaving treasure and a ward on him that would protect him from fatal harm like that.

But much to their surprise, they were simply useless.

Whatever the colossal cloud serpent had done was bypassing all defenses and restrictions.

"Give him Qi freezing pill and a Vital overflow pill!" High Elder Juxue ordered, knowing that the situation was grave.

Even if Feng Baxing were to be sentenced to death later, it couldn't be right now. He would first have to be judged by the temple and the emperor.

It wasn't just because of the rules either. Instead, it was to learn more about Feng Baxing's condition and the choices he had made.

Having been part of the Temple of the Four Guardians for so long as well as having experienced several worlds and people, High Elder Juxue knew there was something wrong— Something that they were missing.

The High Elder was highly suspicious of the way that Feng Baxing had behaved. Even if the chances were low, he simply couldn't let the man die this easily.

'If there is someone else behind this… they would have played the Empires and the Temple… the Rust Sky world's powers will be a joke in the Immortal Court.' High Elder Juxue hadn't forgotten the interference of the other powers as well as diviners that they had suspected.

If there was even a fraction of a percent's chance that they might have been involved in this, it had to be investigated.

The healers quickly got to work and fed Feng Baxing two pills before trying to manually stabilize his Qi. With his meridians destroyed they would have to personally control the flow of Qi.

Another issue they had was that with his cultivation base being effectively crippled, there was a high chance his body would start to deteriorate. As such they needed to maintain a certain amount of Qi in the man's body.

While they did all this, a certain thought appeared in the mind of Feng Shun.

"Why has… Father not arrived yet?" Feng Shun said out loud. 'Even if he didn't come when the Imperial Might Talisman was activated, he should have still come with the appearance of the colossal cloud snake…' he thought.
