The grand debate between Buddhism and Daoism was about to draw to a close, and it was during this time that the emperor of the Azure Phoenix Nation secretly visited a summer palace located near the outskirts of the capital. An esteemed guest was going to visit him here, and even though Tang Li was an emperor in the mortal world, he still didn't dare to slight his guest.0

This was because the guest was Jiang Mao, a highly respected old man from the Cloud Forest Jiang Clan. Not only was he an old immortal at the Upper Five Tiers much like a pillar for the Jiang Clan, but he was also a lofty teacher responsible for educating all of the descendants in the Jiang Clan. 0

Apart from Jiang Mao, there was also the direct disciple of the Jiang Clan who had married into Old Dragon City's Fu Clan and was returning to visit for the first time. Accompanying her was the old maidservant who had followed her to the Fu Clan, and it was rumored that she was a Nascent Tier sword cultivator with devastating destructive power.3

There were two people walking alongside Tang Li, with one being Tang Chong, an old man from the royal family to whom he could temporarily hand power without needing to worry. In terms of seniority, Tang Chong could actually be regarded as Emperor Tang Li's uncle. In the past, he had exchanged many private letters with Assistant Minister Liu Jingting, and they had also engaged in many arguments with each other. In reality, Tang Li had read all of these letters.0
