Master Zhu nodded at this point.
...
Over an hour later.
This Lotus Sect squad halted before a temporary palace.
Peng Guang led Master Zhu into the palace, winding through corridors, passing heavy doors, arriving at an inner pavilion, and then said, "Master Zhu, go inside, His Majesty is in there."
With that, he grabbed the bird on his shoulder to prevent it from entering.
Zhu Ban gently knocked on the door, and upon hearing a calm "Come in" from inside, he entered.
The Emperor was sitting on a dark large chair.
This chair was not the Dragon Throne, so he frowned, sitting uncomfortably.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Zhu Ban saluted.
The Emperor rubbed his forehead and said, "Master Zhu, you are unaware of the villains abducting Huayin, correct?"
Zhu Ban's form shook, then he said, "Huayin was kidnapped?!! How is this possible?! The Lotus Sect promised me they wouldn't touch Huayin..."
