Chapter 247: Su Changyu's Departure, Teleportation Array!
The Great Xia Dynasty.
In the Heavenly Secret Platform, Xia Qian quietly looked at the constellation map in front of him.
He was silent.
"Your Highness, the shift in the Emperor Star is not a bad thing."
Someone in the Heavenly Secret Platform suddenly spoke up and told Xia Qian something, fearing that he would be upset.
"Not a bad thing? Why so?"
Xia Qian asked calmly.
"Your Highness, the shift in the Emperor Star and the emergence of Ziwei might not be a bad thing. Based on the divination, there's a possibility."
"Exactly, this leader of the world might have been chosen from the five dynasties."
The latter explained.
In an instant, Xia Qian's expression changed.
"Is that true?"
Xia Qian was surprised because he knew what the appearance of the Ziwei Emperor Star meant.
However, he didn't expect there to be such a saying.
"Yes, Your Highness. The sudden emergence of the Ziwei Emperor Star might very likely represent that there is an existence in the five dynasties who can ascend to the throne, dominate the four dynasties, and become the leader of the world."
The heavenly secret powerhouse explained.
Hearing his words, Xia Qian understood something, but in the next moment, he continued to ponder about something.
After a while, he couldn't help but speak.
"Let me ask you something, but you mustn't spread a word about this. Or else…"
Xia Qian said.
"Please tell me, Your Highness. I promise I'll keep my lips sealed."
The latter nodded.
"If, I mean if."
"If the leader of the world is the second prince of the Great Ze Dynasty, but the Crown Prince of the Great Ze Dynasty kills him… Will he be able to replace him?"
"Replace him?"
Xia Qian asked vaguely and used the Crown Prince of the Great Ze Dynasty as a pretext.
However, the latter could tell what he meant.
However, he had no choice but to lower his head and said, "If we can confirm who the Ziwei Emperor Star is and kill him, you can replace him."
"But Your Highness, the heavenly will can never be defied since ancient times."
He said to Xia Qian with his head hung low.
However, he was very curious because no one knew who the Ziwei Emperor Star was.
At the Heavenly Secret Platform, everyone knew that it was very likely that it was one of the princes of the five dynasties, who would become the future leader of the world and complete the great unification.
Xia Qian was the most prestigious person in the Great Xia Dynasty.
Why would he do that?
He was very curious but he couldn't guess what Xia Qian wanted to say.
"Heaven's will is not to be defied? How should I snatch the destiny of this Ziwei Emperor Star if I know who he is?"
Xia Qian asked calmly.
"If you know who he is?"
The heavenly secret powerhouse thought about it for a while but soon gave his answer.
"Suppress him, suppress him in all aspects. In that case, the position might change."
He answered.
"How do we suppress him? How? Who should be the judge?"
Xia Qian asked, leaving the heavenly secret powerhouse speechless and at a loss for words.
"In all, if the Emperor Star falls, all of his destiny will be given to the person who kills him. Is that so?"
Xia Qian asked without hiding anything.
"Pretty much."
"However, the leader of the world has the help of Heaven. Your Highness, even if you know who he is, you'll be in trouble for defying the Heavenly Dao."
The other party persuaded.
He hoped that Xia Qian wouldn't be reckless even though he didn't think that Xia Qian knew who the Ziwei Emperor Star was.
After all, the Heavenly Secret Platform hadn't deduced it, so there was no way Xia Qian could have done so.
"Go against the Heavenly Dao? Cultivators are defying heaven and going against it in the first place. Enough, forget everything you said today. Don't bring this up in front of anyone. Otherwise, you know the consequences."
Xia Qian didn't say anything more. At this moment, he had already made up his mind.
He was going to carry out his plan in advance.
He didn't want to sit around and wait for things to happen as it was a slow and arduous process. He would rather be decisive and resolute. No one would be able to criticize him then.
Just like that, in the blink of an eye, seven days passed.
In those seven days, the various major dynasties were all discussing the matter of the Ziwei Emperor Star.
In the Kṣitigarbha Pavilion of the Great Qian Dynasty.
During those seven days, Su Changyu had already read the table of contents of all the books in the Kṣitigarbha Pavilion.
Su Changyu didn't like most of the books.
However, he was somewhat interested in array formations, so he read many books about array formations.
Now after seven days, Su Changyu didn't want to stay there any longer.
He planned to go back to the Great Xia Dynasty and get the closure he wanted.
Hence, Su Changyu asked his chaperon to look for the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty.
Soon, the emperor came.
"Changyu, are you leaving?"
The emperor walked over and asked.
He looked at Su Changyu and still couldn't help but have his heart tremble.
Su Changyu looked just like an immortal as he stood in the pavilion.
"Yes, Uncle, I'm leaving."
Su Changyu answered calmly.
After skimming through the table of contents of the books and reading what he had to, he felt that there was no longer a need for him to stay behind.
"Aren't you going to continue reading?"
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty asked.
"I've finished reading everything."
Su Changyu answered.
He inhaled sharply.
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty was rather astonished. 'It has only been seven short days and Changyu has already finished reading everything. He's really extraordinary.'
The books in the Kṣitigarbha Pavilion were very precious, and one would have to spend a long time reading them in order to understand their true essence.
It had something to do with aptitude.
It had nothing to do with the speed of reading.
Hence, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty was naturally astonished that Su Changyu had finished reading everything.
'This nephew of mine has the talent of an immortal.'
The emperor thought to himself in amazement.
However, he didn't hold Su Changyu back and immediately arranged for him to head to the array formation.
15 minutes later, in the Array Formation Hall.
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty pointed at the array formation in front of him.
"Changyu, this array formation can lead directly to the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty. It'll take you only about an hour."
"Take this ancient token with you. If you encounter any danger in the future, crush it and it'll save you, understand?"
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty handed an ancient token to Su Changyu and told him to pay attention to his safety.
"Changyu, if you go to the Great Xia Dynasty and your father treats you badly, hurry back here and let me know. I will stand up for you."
"You must remember that the emperor and empress of the Great Qian Dynasty are your strong backers, do you understand?"
The empress of the Great Qian Dynasty looked like she couldn't bear to see Su Changyu leave as she repeatedly instructed him, fearing that he would be at a disadvantage.
"Rest assured, Aunt and Uncle."
Su Changyu nodded composedly.
He then stepped onto the Teleportation Array and bade them farewell.
This time, he was going to the Great Xia Dynasty to make a clean break.
"Changyu, if you suffer any mistreatment there, you must come back."
The empress continued to speak but her voice gradually faded away.
The array formation was activated.
Various rays of light darted all around.
In the array formation, Su Changyu stared at an array disc.
Su Changyu knew about the array disc.
It was the core object meant for adjusting array formations.
Su Changyu immediately couldn't help but adjust the array disc.
He planned to study it.
However, as Su Changyu studied it, it suddenly vibrated.
In the next moment, he was speechless.

Chapter 248: The Second Round of King's Territory!
'What's going on?'
As the array formation vibrated violently, Su Changyu got a little puzzled.
'I've merely adjusted the array disc slightly, it's not a huge issue, is it?'
'I can't even study it?'
Feeling the array formation shaking violently, Su Changyu was somewhat flustered.
During this period of time, he had read a lot of books in the Kṣitigarbha Pavilion of the Great Qian Dynasty, so he knew exactly how serious things would be if something went wrong with the array formation.
It was especially so in the case of Teleportation Arrays.
If something went wrong with the Teleportation Array, it would lead to a collapse in space and everyone would be affected.
It could cause the user to be teleported to somewhere else, just like how Su Changyu ended up in the Great Qian Dynasty even though his original destination was the Great Xia Dynasty.
The collapse in space would lead to an instant death.
The former wasn't too bad as the user would be teleported to somewhere else.
As for the latter…
"Why do I keep encountering such problems?"
Su Changyu, who was in the array formation, was feeling a little perplexed.
Ever since Ye Ping came, he felt that he often had unlucky encounters.
It would always be a fault with the array formation.
However, he had fortunately been metamorphosed and changed completely.
Hence, as long as he didn't face a collapse in space, he would be able to at least hold on for a while with his current abilities and cultivation level.
He was now a Golden Core realm cultivator.
He was a mighty figure and in some small faraway places that were rather desolate, Golden Core realm cultivators were like old ancestors.
Hence, Su Changyu was somehow confident in his own abilities.
Although he was powerful, he had little knowledge about realm.
At the same time, in the King's Territory.
The second round.
In a certain mountain range, three figures appeared.
They were Ye Ping, Huangfu Tianlong, and the Longma.
The two men and one beast were hidden there and seemingly keeping their guards up.
"I didn't expect this, I didn't expect it at all. Senior Brother Ye, you actually knew this Longma for a long time."
"Senior Brother Ye, this is destined by the heavens, you have the talent and aptitude to become an immortal."
After hearing the process of everything that happened, Huangfu Tianlong couldn't help but remark in surprise.
"Aptitude to become immortal? Forget it. With this Longma, we are bound to encounter trouble."
Ye Ping shook his head in disagreement with what Huangfu Tianlong said. In fact, he even felt that the Longma was a huge trouble.
"Exalted Immortal, you mustn't speak indiscriminately."
"I'm a Longma, an ancient beast. I mean, I'm a divine beast with the dragon bloodline within me. Once we join forces in the future, no one in this world will be our opponent."
The Longma said agitatedly.
He was elated. After all, in his previous life, he was just an ordinary disciple of the Fiendcelestial Cult, but he never expected to become a Longma in this life.
Although he wasn't human, he was now a divine beast.
What was a divine beast?
The divine beast was the god of beasts and he had the dragon's blood flowing within him. As long as he grew up, he would be an invincible existence.
He had achieved everything in a single step.
"I'm going to be invincible in the future? We don't even know how to solve the problem at hand."
"This is the second round of the King's Territory and all the geniuses are gathered here. If we take him along, we'll probably be in great danger."
Ye Ping sighed.
Although it was a good thing to have a divine beast, he had to be able to keep it alive and by his side.
There were lots of powerhouses in the second round of King's Territory and they could each find an opponent to deal with in the first place. However, if they showed up with a divine beast, they would definitely be the first ones to be dealt with.
It was simple logic.
"You're right."
Huangfu Tianlong fell silent.
Although he had enough self-confidence and felt that he was strong, the problem was that he wouldn't be able to fend off so many opponents if they were outnumbered. What if there were a bunch of geniuses coming at them?
Beat up ten of them alone?
Or a hundred of them?
One could be confident but not rash.
The three of them stayed silent.
After a while, Huangfu Tianlong suddenly froze and then immediately took out the Immortal King ancient token from his chest.
He frowned and looked at the Immortal King ancient token.
The ancient token was crimson in color.
That made Huangfu Tianlong rather astonished.
'What's going on?'
After entering the second round, the twelve Immortal King ancient tokens would become one.
Ye Ping and the other two were unsure of what effects there would be.
Its current appearance was even more confusing to them.
"The color changed again?"
The color of Huangfu Tianlong's Immortal King ancient token changed again and this time, it turned into a sanguine color.
It somehow gave them an ominous feeling.
"Exalted Immortal, what's going on?"
The Longma, Chen Yuan, asked Huangfu Tianlong with curiosity.
Huangfu Tianlong didn't know what was going on either.
He looked at Ye Ping.
Ye Ping couldn't help but frown because he really didn't know what was going on.
However, he reckoned that it definitely wasn't something good.
"Hide, don't move."
Ye Ping didn't understand what was happening but he decided to hide first.
"Alright."
Huangfu Tianlong nodded.
However, before they moved, the sky cracked and a figure suddenly emerged with a golden rod in hand, which then crashed against Huangfu Tianlong.
The golden rod came crashing down like a heavenly pillar, emitting tens of thousands of rays of light immediately.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
A large mountain was shattered on the spot, and the terrifying sound could be heard within 500 meters. The entire mountain went up in smoke and it was replaced by a pile of ashes that covered a distance of 50 kilometers. In an instant, the day turned into night, making them feel terrified.
The figure in the sky was like a divine general clad in golden armor. The golden rod returned to his hand and he stared at the ruined mountain.
"Not dead?"
The golden Heavenly General immediately frowned.
In the next moment, a flame furnace charged into the sky with a True Dragon coiled around it. It came crashing down on him like a fallen rock.
Bang!
The golden Heavenly General was blasted away, but fortunately, the armor on his body shielded the attack for him. Otherwise, he would definitely die.
"I didn't expect that there would be a sneak attack in the second round of the King's Territory. That's ridiculous."
"Fancy them calling themselves elites. Yet, all they do is launch sneak attacks."
"These sneaky thieves are lazy and annoying."
Ye Ping and Huangfu Tianlong spoke up. Clearly, they were in disdain of such sneak attacks.
On the other hand, the Longma was furious too.
"Longma?"
"It's actually a divine beast. Great, it can be my mount."
"As for the sneak attack… Seems like you guys don't know the rules of the second round, huh?"
The golden Heavenly General soared up from a mountain, and although he was not seriously injured, he still suffered some light injuries. However, he wasn't angry at all. Instead, he looked at the Longma and was obviously surprised.
At the same time, he said something that Ye Ping and the others did not understand.
"Rules?"
"What rules?"
The two were somewhat curious.
However, in the next moment, another figure appeared and tore through the space to arrive in front of them. He was clad in a white robe with a Seven Star ancient sword behind him and terrifying Sword Qi revolving around him while he stared at Ye Ping.
Soon, another three figures appeared, surrounded by a terrifying light. There was even some sound of thunder coming from their physical body.
Just like that, in less than 15 minutes, hundreds of figures gathered from all directions.
Each one was intimidating and almost on par with the golden Heavenly General. In fact, there were a few that were even stronger.
"Exalted Immortals, I probably know the rules of the second round."
At this moment, the Longma spoke up.
Ye Ping and Huangfu Tianlong couldn't help but be silent.

Chapter 249: Besieged, A Miracle Appears
At this moment, the Longma spoke up.
Ye Ping and Huangfu Tianlong couldn't help but be silent.
'Do we still need you to tell us the rules of the second round?'
'Isn't it already very obvious?'
The first round was to collect 12 Immortal King ancient tokens.
The second round was to have the 12 Immortal King ancient tokens become one.
However, one person would be chosen as the target of everyone and killing that target might allow one to enter the third round.
On the other hand, the holder would be chased and hunted down. If he could persist for long enough, he would be considered to have passed.
Hence, when hundreds of elites gathered there, Ye Ping and Huangfu Tianlong somehow felt an enormous pressure.
They were stressed despite believing that they were unbeatable elites.
Besides, in such a situation…
Two against a hundred?
Huangfu Tianlong was confident but Ye Ping wasn't.
It wasn't that he was afraid, but rather, he felt hopeless.
Everyone who could enter were all elites of elites.
Under such circumstances, one against a hundred was simply impossible.
"Exalted Immortals, what should we do?"
The Longma swallowed his saliva. He stopped clamoring and hid behind them, getting a little flustered.
Ye Ping and Huangfu Tianlong were a little depressed.
'What should we do?'
They didn't know what to do next.
Under this space, hundreds of figures appeared, each emanating a terrifying aura. They were all elites of the world.
If there were three or five, Huangfu Tianlong wouldn't be scared.
Even if there were more than ten, Ye Ping wouldn't be scared.
They wouldn't be scared even if there were more than 200, but they would certainly be worried.
Hundreds of pairs of eyes were staring intently at Ye Ping and Huangfu Tianlong.
Just as Ye Ping and Huangfu Tianlong guessed, the second round of the King's Territory was escape mode.
In the second round, the twelve Immortal King ancient tokens belonging to each person would turn into one.
However, the King's Territory would activate an ancient token every once in a while, and the person whose token was activated would have to start fleeing because the mission of everyone else in the territory would be to kill him.
The person who killed the target would obtain a new Immortal King ancient token, and when one collected three, they would be able to advance to the next level.
Of course, if one was competent enough, they would be able to pass and advance to the third round after holding on for six hours.
There were hundreds of elites gathered there and staring at Ye Ping.
They hesitated to take action, not because they were afraid, but because they were devising a scheme while being scrupulous.
None of them were fools. Even if they killed Huangfu Tianlong, they might not be able to obtain the Immortal King ancient token.
Of course, that was not the main thing.
The main thing was the Longma!
It was a true divine beast with the bloodline of a True Dragon.
Such divine beasts were rare.
If they could subdue it and make it its mount, it would become their status symbol that would bring about great glory.
They were elites and the best of each field. All of them were famous.
Hence, they disliked each other and would compete and compare to each other in every single thing.
Now that there was a Longma, how could they not be greedy and vie for it?
"Give the Longma to me, I can protect you."
At this moment, someone spoke up. It was a man with a silver pagoda hanging over his head while he stood below the void like a god.
He told Ye Ping that he was willing to help him on the condition that Ye Ping gave him the Longma.
"Give it to you?"
"You might as well give it to me then, Fellow Daoist. the Longma is a divine beast of this world and instead of keeping it by your side, you might as well give it to me. If I become an immortal someday, I'll bestow a creation to you, how does that sound?"
Seeing someone say so, someone else in the void immediately chimed in.
They were all coveting the Longma and wanted a divine beast each.
They were elites so if they had a Longma as their mount, no one in this world would dare to disrespect them.
"What a joke, the divine beast can only be possessed by virtuous people. Do you guys seem virtuous at all?"
Someone said in derision.
"We'll find out after a fight."
Someone spoke up and challenged the other party to a fight.
However, the Longma hiding behind Ye Ping couldn't help but speak up.
"How about you guys have a fight and I'll go with whoever the winner is?"
The Longma told everyone loudly.
Indeed, as soon as he said that, the elites all perked up.
It would be a good thing if they could get the Longma to follow them.
It wouldn't be a good thing to retain it by force.
However, some elites immediately reacted and said loudly, "Don't be fooled by him, get the Immortal King ancient token before snatching the Longma. He wants us to fight so that he can stall for time."
As soon as the elite said that, everyone immediately reacted and their battle intent gradually faded too.
Indeed, they had to get the matter done first.
In an instant, all eyes were on both of them.
"Oh dear."
The Longma frowned and looked a little depressed. He did want to stall for time by inciting a fight between them, so that they would have the chance to escape.
However, he didn't expect them to be smart enough not to be fooled by him.
Sensing the crowd's gazes, Huangfu Tianlong humphed coldly.
Huangfu Tianlong could not help but take a deep breath before speaking, "How are you considered capable? A bunch of you are bullying two people. If you have what it takes, fight us one-on-one."
He yelled and the Dragon-Elephant figure appeared behind him.
Although consecutive fights were still troublesome, they wouldn't be able to do anything to them because they were all elites.
"As you wish."
In an instant, an elite attacked. It was a man whose hands formed seals. A mountain appeared in the sky above the void and blasted straight at Huangfu Tianlong with infinite Dharmic powers.
Roar!
The Dragon-Elephant shadow immediately condensed while Huangfu Tianlong attacked without hesitation.
The great battle erupted and Dharmic powers flowed everywhere. Each strike of Huangfu Tianlong was very menacing.
Since the other party dared to be the first to attack, he was naturally competent.
However, there was one more point. The remaining geniuses indeed didn't attack because they were clearly ashamed of teaming up to suppress Huangfu Tianlong and Ye Ping.
However, a few moments later, Huangfu Tianlong couldn't stand it any longer.
The other party's attacks were strong and dense, which were overwhelming Huangfu Tianlong.
Boom.
However, at this moment, large handprints appeared in the void. Someone attacked Huangfu Tianlong.
"If you fight alone, you'll lose too. Finding the Immortal King ancient token is the most important thing, there's no time for us to mess around here. Everyone, don't delay."
Someone told everyone to attack together and not hold back because he knew that that was what Huangfu Tianlong, Ye Ping, and the Longma wanted to do.
Indeed, as soon as he said that, everyone stopped hesitating. No one wanted to delay the time and hence attacked Huangfu Tianlong and Ye Ping immediately.
Their target was not only Huangfu Tianlong, but also the Longma.
"Oh dear."
Hundreds of killer moves appeared.
The void was warped.
Ye Ping and Huangfu Tianlong knew that they had really gotten into big trouble this time.
If no miracle happened, both of them would die here.
"Kill!"
Since things had already come to this, Ye Ping stayed calm and fought without any nonsense.
However, at the next moment…
All of a sudden, the void in front of him was distorted.
It was a Teleportation Array.
Ye Ping immediately understood what was going on.

Chapter 250: Three Million Sword Immortals Must All Bow Down To Me!
The second round.
Facing the hundreds of elites who were gathering together…
Ye Ping and Huangfu Tianlong both naturally felt an unprecedented pressure.
The fact that nothing worked on those two people made the elites feel incredibly pressurized.
Boom!
Hundreds of people struck in unison and charged towards Huangfu Tianlong.
The blazing rays of light drowned the entire sky and the attacks were all extremely terrifying. Ye Ping and Huangfu Tianlong both knew that they couldn't withstand it at all.
They were facing elites and it would be quite overwhelming for them if they had to take on ten people each, let alone a hundred people.
However, even then, Ye Ping didn't lose his battle intent.
He activated his battle intent and the ancient Godfiend body was condensed. He was all ready to fight.
Although the chances of failure were high, he could no longer be bothered. After all, there were no other means for him.
Countless rays of light flooded the world and all the elites attacked in unison. Their Mystical Abilities were invincible and their attacks were dazzling.
The sky shook and the void collapsed.
However, at the next moment, Ye Ping's void began to be warped.
"Teleportation Array?"
Ye Ping was stunned. Why did a Teleportation Array suddenly appear?
As an array formation master, Ye Ping naturally knew what it was.
Even the elites couldn't help but be surprised when they saw the Teleportation Array appear.
It was basically impossible for such a Teleportation Array to appear in King's Territory.
All array formations were prohibited there.
However, despite feeling curious, they were very resolute in their attacks, and without hesitation, they charged towards Ye Ping and Huangfu Tianlong.
Hundreds of Mystical Abilities and Dharmic Dao blasted around Ye Ping and Huangfu Tianlong, shattering the void.
However, a shocking scene that made countless people horrified appeared.
All the Mystical Abilities were devoured by the distorted void.
In the next moment, the void became even more distorted and strange rays of light scattered everywhere. They even condensed a door.
A gilded door appeared.
It was 90 feet tall and there were golden dragons and phoenixes around. Rays of immortal light were released in all directions and immortal energy spread around.
'What's going on?'
"What's the matter?"
"Is this the supreme treasure of the second round?"
The elites were all astonished as they didn't know what was going on. There were even some people who guessed that it might be the supreme treasure of the second round.
All of a sudden, everyone couldn't help but stare at the fan-like door.
However, someone soon stared at the door and exclaimed in shock.
"Look, is there a figure behind the door?"
That person had a third eye, which was the Heavenly Eye. After opening it, a ray of golden light darted out, and when they stared at the immortal door, they soon discovered that there was a figure behind the door.
The figure behind the door gradually became clearer.
Everyone was shocked and clueless about what was going on.
"Is it an immortal?"
"Is it the Immortal Slayer King?"
"Is the Immortal Slayer King still alive?"
"Is this the descendant of the Immortal Slayer King?"
Various people began to speculate. Ye Ping and Huangfu Tianlong were no longer the important people whom they paid attention to. The immortal door was what they were all paying attention to.
"Senior Brother Ye, what is going on?"
Huangfu Tianlong was confused and couldn't help but look at Ye Ping.
On the other hand, Ye Ping had no idea what was happening either, but after staring at the door, he realized that there was a figure behind the immortal door.
Besides, the figure was just like an immortal
There were five divine beasts surrounding the door.
Everyone held their breaths and remained silent while staring at the door.
They were really worried that the person behind the door was the descendant of the Immortal Slayer King.
If that was the case, it would be really troublesome.
After all, if the descendant of the Immortal Slayer King was still alive, how terrifying would that be?
However, Ye Ping had a look of shock because he was alone.
The figure behind the immortal door seemed rather familiar to him.
In fact, he found him to be extremely familiar-looking.
"There are three million Sword Immortals in this world."
"But all of them must bow down to me."
At this moment, a calm voice sounded.
The voice was ethereal and lofty.
However, he also seemed somewhat transcendent and high above all, though he didn't seem condescending and instead looked extremely noble.
In the immortal door, a figure walked out slowly.
Everyone couldn't help but gasp.
It was a man who looked like a supreme immortal. Dressed in a long robe, he looked just like an immortal who descended in the mortal world with a transcendent aura.
His features were extremely handsome too.
He was standing in the void.
There were five divine beasts surrounding him that were exuding an immortal aura from head to toe.
He was really like a true immortal.
The silence made all the elites feel extremely pressurized.
The elites swallowed their saliva.
The man made them feel afraid.
As elites, they had seen plenty of geniuses before.
However, they had never seen such an elite before.
He looked just like an immortal.
The phenomenon around them was extremely terrifying and it was not something that ordinary people could condense at all.
He was composed, and coupled with the unique aura, it was as if everything in this world meant nothing to him.
Some people needed some battle results, participation in various massacres, and a terrifying background to call themselves geniuses.
However, this person was different.
His presence alone was like that of an immortal.
At this moment, everyone couldn't help but suspect that he was the reincarnation of an immortal.
Some couldn't help but wonder if he was the Immortal Slayer King himself.
Otherwise, how could he have such an aura?
However, at this moment, Ye Ping suddenly spoke up, "Eldest Senior Brother!"
Ye Ping seemed to be extremely astonished when he was in the void too.
He didn't expect Su Changyu to appear at such a dangerous moment.
More importantly, Su Changyu seemed to be a completely different person.
He resembled an immortal.
'Is this Eldest Senior Brother's true appearance?'
In the void, Su Changyu couldn't recover from the shock.
He had altered the array diagram of the Teleportation Array, resulting in many issues with the Teleportation Array.
By fate, he arrived in the King's Territory.
However, Su Changyu still had some lingering fear from the trembling of the Teleportation Array.
Hence, he had no idea what was going on at all.
Su Changyu was shocked to suddenly hear Ye Ping's voice.
"Little Junior Brother?"
Su Changyu was astonished. He didn't expect to run into Ye Ping there.
However, before Su Changyu could say anything, the hundreds of elites couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
They thought that the Immortal Slayer King had been revived.
However, after hearing Ye Ping call him Senior Brother, they all heaved sighs of relief.
As long as he wasn't the Immortal Slayer King, everything would be fine.
"Turns out he's not the Immortal Slayer King, what tricks is he getting up to?"
"Since he's also a cultivator who can enter the King's Territory, he must be quite competent. Everyone, attack together."
"Stop wasting time, four hours have almost passed."
By the time everyone recovered from the shock and wanted to attack again, they were still scrupulous.
At this moment, Su Changyu was stunned.
"What's going on?"
'Why are we fighting as soon as we meet?'
'Also, there are so many of you.'
'You're bullying the three of us?'
'Ye Ping, wait, I'll go get help.'
Su Changyu criticized in his head.

In the King's Territory.
Su Changyu indeed did not expect that he would have to fight just after he appeared.
He had gained 500 years of cultivation and reached the Golden Core realm.
However, it would be better to avoid fighting.
He would avoid fighting as far as possible.
Isn't it good to be at peace?
However, looking at the aggressive gazes, Su Changyu couldn't help but speak up.
He didn't think that he was weaker, but it would be best if he could delay a little longer. It would be best if he could resolve the conflict.
"What happened?"
Su Changyu stood quietly in the void, facing hundreds of elites on his own. However, his expression didn't change and he instead remained calm and composed.
It was as if the people standing in front of him were not elites but just a bunch of ordinary cultivators.
His composure was indeed shocking.
After all, they were true elites.
The hundreds of people there suppressed the void.
However, they didn't expect Su Changyu to be able to remain so composed. That made them astonished.
Of course, no matter what, it was all because of Su Changyu's extraordinary looks.
He was standing still like an immortal.
No one knew of Su Changyu's or Ye Ping's origin.
They were scrupulous and all the clamoring was just a form of testing.
So far, none of them dared to attack directly because no one wanted to be the first to strike.
"Eldest Senior Brother, this is the King's Territory and this is Fellow Daoist Huangfu Tianlong. These people are gathered here to kill me and steal the Immortal King's ancient tokens for the next level."
"Also, this is Huangfu Tianlong's mount and they're all coveting it!"
Ye Ping spoke up and stated things very clearly.
After hearing his words, Su Changyu couldn't help but be curious.
'What is the King's Territory?'
'They're trying to kill someone for the sake of the ancient token?'
'That's unnecessary, isn't it?'
Su Changyu didn't understand the logic behind it and seemed confused.
However, there must be a misunderstanding there.
Su Changyu planned to explain it properly, lest they got into an unhappy conflict.
However, as soon as he spoke, the meaning of his words was different.
"Really?"
He said indifferently.
While in the void, Su Changyu looked at everyone without the slightest anger or contempt.
He was just indifferent in a certain sense.
His indifference was creepy and unsettling.
His voice seemed to be doubtful.
The person whom Su Changyu looked at somehow felt scared and didn't dare to look him in the eye.
That was how scary Su Changyu was.
He didn't have to attack at all. A mere glance and a sentence from him were enough to make others feel uncomfortable.
"Your Excellency, this is the rule of the King's Territory. Your junior brother's friend has been chosen as the holder of the selected token by the King's Territory. We have no choice but to comply because these are the rules."
Someone spoke. It was an elite who was surrounded by colorful light.
He believed that it was a rule.
"Whose rules?"
However, Su Changyu's voice was still emotionless and indifferent.
He seemed to be questioning them.
In an instant, the latter was a little afraid to speak because he was flustered for some reason.
"The rules of the King's Territory are naturally the rules of the Immortal Slayer King!"
"Your Excellency, do you despise the Immortal Slayer King?"
Someone dared to speak up.
It was another elite who carried an emerald green divine tree on his back while ten thousand rays of light cascaded, looking extremely striking.
It was an elite who was confident enough to talk to Su Changyu.
Su Changyu initially didn't want to answer.
However, he couldn't control himself.
"The Immortal Slayer King's rules? Is it a must to obey?"
Su Changyu asked.
Everyone was astonished.
Ye Ping, Huangfu Tianlong, and even the Longma fell silent.
'This… is a little too exaggerated, isn't it?'
'This world was opened by the Immortal Slayer King, but who is the Immortal Slayer King? He's one of the Twelve Immortal Kings.'
The ancient Immortal Slayer King could easily kill everyone with a single finger.
Hence, the other party did not expect… Su Changyu to be so disrespectful to the Immortal Slayer King.
'He's too arrogant, isn't he?'
Boom!
In fact, at this moment, the terrifying sound of a thunderbolt filled the air in the sky above the King's Territory.
Like a divine thunderbolt that would destroy the world, it sounded in everyone's ears and made their hearts tremble.
They felt that Su Changyu was being too arrogant by challenging and provoking the Immortal Slayer King.
"Senior Brother Ye, your Eldest Senior Brother is really ferocious."
Huangfu Tianlong couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He thought that he was arrogant and haughty enough as a domineering elite who managed to fight against the prodigies of the Ten Nations.
However, after seeing Su Changyu today, Huangfu Tianlong understood something.
What he had been doing was just like child's play.
What was being arrogant?
This!
What was an elite?
This was an elite.
What was being invincible like?
That was what being invincible was.
Not to mention Huangfu Tianlong, even Ye Ping couldn't help but be filled with zeal at this moment.
'Eldest Senior Brother is indeed such a ferocious man.'
'Indeed, Eldest Senior Brother is a supreme expert.'
'He's not scared of the Immortal Slayer King at all?'
'If he's not a hidden expert, who is?'
'Eldest Senior Brother, you're so mighty!'
Ye Ping thought to himself enthusiastically.
However, on the contrary, Su Changyu was so depressed that he was about to cry.
The reason being, his bad habit was acting up again.
He wanted to pursue peace and have everyone simmer down to talk things over calmly at first instead of getting physical.
However, not only did he fail to calm everyone down, but he ended up insulting the Immortal Slayer King.
That would be courting death.
'Ah, what's going on with me?'
'Why can't I kick this habit even though I've gained 500 years worth of cultivation?'
While everyone was shocked…
All of a sudden, a dense and low voice sounded in the sky.
"Who's insulting me?"
A voice sounded.
Gloomy dark clouds rolled in the sky amidst the roaring of thunderbolts and terrifying gray clouds condensed into a terrifying pair of eyes that was staring at all the elites in the void.
At this moment, the crowd felt an unprecedented pressure.
The pressure was from the Immortal Slayer King.
It was the real Immortal Slayer King.
"Please pardon us, Immortal Slayer King. We didn't plan to offend you, this person was just spouting nonsense."
Someone pointed at Su Changyu.
In the blink of an eye, the pair of eyes were fixed on Su Changyu.
Faced with the heavenly might, Su Changyu was flustered.
How could he not be flustered?
The Immortal Slayer King had been forced to appear by him!
Although he had gained 500 years of cultivation level, he was facing the Immortal Slayer King.
God knows what realm he was at, but since he was called the Immortal Slayer King, he probably could kill Su Changyu easily.
At the thought of it, Su Changyu continuously calmed himself down.
He knew that he mustn't panic at all.
The more flustered he was, the more serious his illness would be.
He couldn't be nervous.
He mustn't be nervous at all.
"Who are you?"
The Immortal Slayer King asked Su Changyu.
Faced with the question, Su Changyu took a deep breath and repeatedly told himself not to be nervous.
Phew!
He took a deep breath!
He took ten deep breaths in total.
Everyone was watching him.
"Are you worthy enough?"
A voice sounded.
Su Changyu no longer struggled.
Everyone fell silent again.

Chapter 252: The Immortal Slayer King's Invitation To Battle
Everyone was stunned.
Even Ye Ping and Huangfu Tianlong were all at a loss for words.
In particular, Ye Ping knew how powerful his Eldest Senior Brother was and felt that he was a peerless expert.
However, he didn't expect Su Changyu to be outrageously arrogant.
It was the King's Territory.
In other words, it was the Dao venue of the Immortal Slayer King, not Su Changyu's.
Forget it that he had called out the name of the Immortal Slayer King, but he even said that the Immortal Slayer King was not worthy to know his name when asked about who he was.
Su Changyu was really going overboard with the boasting.
The hundreds of elites kept calling Su Changyu a true expert at boasting and they even compared themselves to him.
In comparison, they felt that they weren't being arrogant at all.
In fact, they even felt like they were a clown.
Ka-cha.
A ray of thunder flashed and shone at the sky.
In the next moment, a figure appeared.
The wind and thunder revolved around him.
"Is it the Immortal Slayer King?"
Someone swallowed their saliva and felt shocked.
"Is the Immortal Slayer King really not dead?"
Some people were in disbelief. Although Su Changyu had been reckless with his words, he shouldn't have provoked the Immortal Slayer King.
"It shouldn't be the Immortal Slayer King, but the remnant soul or the essence soul that was left behind in the King's Territory."
"Yes. The Immortal Slayer King has already died for countless years, how can he be revived?"
"Yes. The Immortal Slayer King belongs to the previous generation, there's no way he can still be alive now."
Some elites discussed incessantly. They were aware of some things and knew that the Immortal Slayer King definitely wouldn't be alive now.
After all, times were important and the Immortal Slayer King existed hundreds of millions of years ago.
The Immortal Slayer King existed a long time ago, and if he didn't use to be invincible and had done lots of glorious things, the world wouldn't have known about his name.
Hence, the Immortal Slayer King could never be revived.
"Even if he can't be revived, a wisp of his mind or remnant soul is enough to kill us!"
Although some people felt that it definitely couldn't be the Immortal Slayer King, some elites felt that even a remnant soul of the Immortal Slayer King would be enough to kill all of them.
"Not necessarily, why would the Immortal Slayer King kill us? We didn't offend him. Besides, this is the Immortal Slayer King's Dao Domain and he intends to pit us against each other. Why would he kill us?"
There were some elites who thought that they were over-worrying.
After all, it was the Immortal Slayer King's Dao Domain and there was indeed no need to create trouble for them. If he just wanted to do that to them, there would be no need to open this Dao Domain.
He could have just killed everyone.
There was no need to go to such great lengths.
Everyone immediately understood it as soon as they said that because they felt that it made sense.
All of a sudden, many of them heaved a sigh of relief, but they were still keeping their guards up. In case there was any danger, they would leave this place directly.
At this moment, Su Changyu was completely speechless. Anyway, he would get in trouble every time his illness acted up.
This time, it was even worse because he ended up offending an Immortal King.
Although he did not know how strong the Immortal King was, he reckoned that he should be stronger than a cultivator at the Golden Core realm.
Su Changyu was speechless.
Sooner or later one day, he would die because of his bad habit. It was just a matter of time.
After understanding that, Su Changyu stopped dwelling on it because it was pointless to do so.
He might as well let nature take its course. After all, even if he died, it was because he had pretended too much.
It would be the end of his dreams.
However, as the Immortal Slayer King appeared, his face wasn't clear, but others still found him to be suave and mighty.
He stood in front of Su Changyu without doing anything or showing any intention to kill him.
Instead, he quietly looked at Su Changyu.
He said, "I've set this King's Territory up since a long time ago, but I've never met anyone like you."
His words made Su Changyu feel even more hopeless.
However, the next thing he said shocked everyone.
"But after observing you for a while, I feel that your cultivation competency is not too bad. You're better than them. You're arrogant, but you're also very strong. Are you trying to challenge me?"
The Immortal Slayer King guessed that Su Changyu wanted to challenge him.
"Yes, I'll give you a chance. I will suppress my cultivation level to the same realm as yours and if you win, I'll give you all the treasures here."
"However, if you lose, you will lose everything. Do you dare to accept the challenge?"
The Immortal Slayer King asked.
He took the initiative to invite Su Changyu to a battle.
"A battle of the same realm? I think so too."
Some elites spoke up and felt that they could try fighting if they were at the same realm.
However, someone soon sneered.
"Forget about it, there are ancient records that state that the Immortal Slayer King once cultivated the Eight-Nine Supreme cultivation method. Besides, even if you're at the same realm as him, the Immortal Slayer King has countless years of martial arts experience. Can you compare to him?"
The elite was like a wet blanket that made many elites lose their battle intent.
Yeah, even if the Immortal Slayer King was just a remnant soul now, he had years of battle experience, and he would be able to tell one's attack plan as soon as they struck.
How could they defeat him?
"Indeed, the Eight-Nine Supreme Heavenly cultivation method is a peerless cultivation method of the Immortal Slayer King. For generations, countless cultivators have all wanted to come to the King's Territory to obtain the Eight-Nine Supreme Heavenly cultivation method."
"It's the best physical cultivation method in the world and it's said that only a person with a Godfiend body can contend with it."
"Forget it, we are still not worthy to fight with the Immortal Slayer King. Let's forget about it and watch the battle."
At this point of the discussion, everyone couldn't help but sigh while looking at Su Changyu curiously.
They didn't know if Su Changyu was willing to accept it.
They wanted to see the Immortal Slayer King's abilities and likewise, they were also very curious about Su Changyu's abilities.
After all, the Immortal Slayer King had once said that Su Changyu was much more powerful than the vast majority of people, and as elites, they were naturally indignant.
In the void.
Faced with the Immortal Slayer King's invitation, Su Changyu didn't have many thoughts about it.
Anyway, he couldn't control his own body now, so he decided to be the onlooker too.
Now, Su Changyu's only hope was for him to go harder and finish him off quickly so that he wouldn't feel too much pain.
A painless death was Su Changyu's last desire.
Hence, Su Changyu spoke up, "Fight with all your might."
After hearing his words, everyone was once again astonished.
Su Changyu accepted the challenge and the way he did made others feel like he was boasting too much.
'Fight with all your might?'
'How confident must he be to say that?'
'An elite.'
'He's really… a peerless elite.'
At this moment, even the Immortal Slayer King found it interesting.
He nodded.
"Okay, in that case, I will go all out and fight with all my might to make sure that you lose without regrets."
"Attack."
The Immortal Slayer King said.
He let Su Changyu make the first move, so as to give him the last chance.
If he attacked first, Su Changyu would definitely die.
However, in the void, Su Changyu stared at the Immortal Slayer King quietly.
He then closed his eyes.
15 minutes later, Su Changyu spoke up.

Chapter 253: The Immortal Slayer King's Real Trial!
Faced with the Immortal Slayer King's challenge, everyone looked at Su Changyu curiously.
In particular, they were curious about Su Changyu's answer.
The Immortal Slayer King stared at Su Changyu, full of curiosity about what Su Changyu would answer.
However, at this moment, Su Changyu slowly opened his eyes and looked at the Immortal Slayer King. There was neither confidence nor battle intent in his eyes as his gaze was as composed and transcendent as ever.
He was extremely indifferent.
Su Changyu gradually spoke too.
"You…"
"You've already lost."
He was extremely calm.
However, as soon as he said that, everyone was dumbfounded.
The elites were confused.
Ye Ping was speechless.
Huangfu Tianlong was speechless too.
The Longma was bewildered.
'He has already lost?'
'In what way?'
'He lost in boasting?'
'Seriously? Can you quit playing? Just fight properly.'
'You…'
Even the Immortal Slayer King was rather dumbfounded now.
He had no idea how he had lost either.
However, Su Changyu, who was in the void, seemed rather natural.
He felt that the Immortal Slayer King had lost.
He had indeed lost thoroughly.
During the 15 minutes that he had his eyes closed just now, he fought with the Immortal Slayer King using the Sword Nurturing Technique.
He had to admit that the Immortal Slayer King was indeed worthy of his reputation because he was terrifyingly powerful.
After fantasizing for five minutes, Su Changyu finally defeated the Immortal Slayer King.
If it was anyone else, Su Changyu would have already won. However, when he was faced with the Immortal Slayer King, he had a tough time winning. Fortunately, he had obtained victory nevertheless.
"How did I lose?"
The Immortal Slayer King asked, looking at Su Changyu.
He wasn't angry and instead asked Su Changyu curiously just how he had lost.
"You've lost in every aspect."
Su Changyu answered calmly.
His answer made everyone silent.
They somehow felt that there was something wrong with Su Changyu.
However, after looking at Su Changyu's expression and aura, they felt that there was nothing wrong.
'Who does the problem lie with?'
Everyone was dumbfounded and clueless about what Su Changyu was trying to do.
"Interesting."
However, to their surprise, the Immortal Slayer King wasn't angered in the slightest.
Instead, he stared at Su Changyu and said, "I didn't expect you to be able to tell at a glance that I'm just a spirit body."
"Hahahaha, I've indeed lost. You're very impressive. For many years, I've been appearing once in a while to test the hearts of these elites, but how many years has it been since anyone dared to truly have a battle with me?"
"You've already passed the first real round of the King's Territory. Good, very good."
The Immortal Slayer King was smiling incessantly as he revealed the secret.
At this moment, the crowd was a little surprised.
They really didn't expect that to be the test set by the Immortal Slayer King.
What was even further beyond their expectations was that Su Changyu had already seen through everything a long time ago.
'No wonder he's so arrogant.'
'No wonder he's so confident.'
At this moment, everyone finally understood why Su Changyu would say that he had won in every aspect.
They also finally understood why Su Changyu said that the Immortal Slayer King had lost.
Indeed, the Immortal Slayer King in front of him was neither a remnant soul nor an apparition, but a spirit body.
The so-called spirit body was basically an alternative apparition left behind by a powerhouse to serve as a mouthpiece.
It had no battle power, but apart from a lack of cultivation level, it was no different from the real Immortal Slayer King. Its presence alone was enough to make others horrified.
Su Changyu behaved that way because he had seen right through that it was just a spirit body.
At this moment, the elites were all in awe and amazement.
"I thought he was pretending to be impressive and going overboard with the boasting, but it turns out I got the wrong idea about him."
"So it was us who were wrong."
"I have to say, that's an incredible move."
"Yeah, anyone can defeat an Immortal King who's at the same realm, but not many people dare to really accept the challenge because their lives are at stake. Even I was a little scared just now. This man is really extraordinary."
"Who is he? Why have I never heard of him before?"
"Indeed, there's always going to be the strongest of the strong. Su Changyu will probably become a household name and take the world by storm in no time."
The elites discussed incessantly. They were amazed by Su Changyu's determination, competency, his ability to see through everything, and his understanding of the truth.
However, at this moment, the spirit body of the Immortal Slayer King said slowly, "You've already passed the real first round of the King's Territory, and according to the rules, you shall be given two options as a reward."
As the Immortal Slayer King spoke, he waved his hand, and in an instant, a luxurious palace appeared in the sky.
Everyone could look at it.
It was gilded and ostentatious, composing of buildings that were each made of supreme-grade jade. In the palace, even a lamp was considered an extraordinary treasure.
"Oh gosh, guys look, it's the Longevity Lamp!"
"The lamps in the palace are actually all Longevity Lamps?"
"Longevity Lamp? That's a supreme-grade treasure. If you light it up with your blood, you can add 500 years to your lifespan."
"The value of each Longevity Lamp is extraordinary. I didn't expect everything in this palace to be treasures."
"This isn't all. Look carefully, there are more treasures in the palace."
"It's the Twelve Immortal Kings Wheel?"
"And the Seven Star Ancient Sword."
"Demon-Subduing Pestle?"
"Nine Revolutions Elixir?"
The elites looked at the palace that had a gilded exterior and also contained countless treasures that were all piled up. Each treasure had a famous history and origin.
Even if they were each given one treasure, they would be really satisfied, not to mention the entire palace.
"Rumor has it that the Immortal Slayer King has once ruled the world and collected countless treasures. Be it the Buddhist Sects, Dao Sects, or demons and fiends, all their treasures were collected by the Immortal Slayer King who eventually created the King's Territory and gave them away as rewards."
"It seems that the rumors are real."
"What is the reward for the first round? Surely Su Changyu is not going to be given all the treasures, right?"
The elites discussed and someone suddenly wondered if Su Changyu would be given all the things in the palace as a reward.
If that was the case, Su Changyu would have hit the jackpot.
They were envious, and at the same time, they were also incredibly jealous.
The Immortal Slayer King gradually spoke up, "Su Changyu, congratulations on completing the first real round of this trial. You are now given two options. The first is the treasures of this palace, which all contain the lifelong efforts put in by me and my brothers."
"There are Dao artifacts, cultivation methods, secret manuals, Mystical Abilities, and many other treasures that are collected in there. If you choose this palace, you will be given all of them."
"The second option is my true legacy, the Immortal Slayer legacy. However, you can only choose one out of the two options. You have five minutes to make your choice."
The Immortal Slayer King said.
He revealed the treasure for the first round.
In the blink of an eye, the elites seemed to have completely been suffocated.
To them, both treasures were extremely precious.
Su Changyu was outrageously lucky.

Chapter 254: Nothing More Than That
Faced with the reward of the Immortal Slayer King, all the elites fell silent.
Although they didn't have a single share of the rewards, it didn't stop them from fantasizing about it.
One option was a palace full of treasures.
The other option was the Immortal Slayer King's supreme legacy.
No matter what he chose, Su Changyu wouldn't be at a loss.
However, someone soon couldn't help but frown and speak up.
"Why does it feel like there's some conspiracy behind this?" said an elite who felt that there was more to the offer.
As soon as he said that, many people chimed in in agreement.
"I think so too."
"Now that you've said it, there seems to really be a conspiracy."
"There is indeed something bizarre about this. The rewards for just the first round are already so attractive, what about the second round?"
"I get it, this must also be a test to see what option he would choose in this situation."
The elites all felt that things were definitely not as simple as they seemed on the surface.
Their conjectures made a lot of sense too.
It was theoretically impossible to offer one so many benefits in the first round of the trial.
If they gave him so much, what about the second round? What would the rewards be?
Hence, it was obviously a test too.
They guessed that it was a test, but the problem was that they couldn't guess what exactly it was a test for.
"Senior Brother Ye, what do you think is going on?"
Witnessing this scene, Huangfu Tianlong couldn't help but be curious.
He couldn't help but ask Ye Ping to see what he had to say.
"It's not easy to explain but they're right. If these are just the rewards for the first round, they seem to be quite excessive."
Ye Ping answered seriously.
However, the Longma shook his head and gave his opinion.
"That's not certain. Exalted One, the Immortal Slayer King has an eccentric personality to begin with. He might be deliberately trying to make you hesitate and feel conflicted. I think it'd be more reliable to choose the first option. There are so many treasures, and even if the Immortal Slayer King doesn't give you all of them, you'd still stand to gain by taking some."
Those were the Longma's thoughts.
After all, he was born in the King's Territory and thus knew a little more compared to the others.
"Not necessarily."
Ye Ping shook his head.
Huangfu Tianlong could not help but say, "I feel that there's an issue with that. If you choose the first option, you'd probably obtain some benefits. Although the Immortal Slayer King's supreme Mystical Abilities are powerful, who can stay calm in the face of so many treasures?"
"Normal cultivators would choose the first one, but this is often a trap."
That was what Huangfu Tianlong thought.
He was not looking down on the Mystical Ability of the Immortal Slayer King, but the treasures inside were the lifelong collection of the Twelve Immortal Kings.
Although the supreme Mystical Ability was good, it would require a certain period of time to develop. Otherwise, if one had no aptitude, no comprehensive ability, and no resources, there was no point in getting the Mystical Ability either.
However, if he chose the first option, it might be a trap. After all, the Immortal Slayer King's items were definitely not that easy to obtain.
However, if he chose the second, he would feel really indignant. In short, Su Changyu was feeling extremely conflicted.
Just as everyone was feeling bewildered, the Immortal Slayer King suddenly spoke up.
"You don't have to be too apprehensive. No matter what you choose, I will give it to you. This is not a test, I'll give you what you choose."
The Immortal Slayer King was not deceiving Su Changyu but asking him to make a choice as soon as possible.
The elites were even more surprised after hearing his words.
They still thought that it was a type of test but they didn't expect it to be true.
All of a sudden, everyone looked at Su Changyu with gazes full of jealousy and envy.
They were all sour and wishing that they could take his place.
Previously, they were all guessing that it might be a test, but to their surprise, it was actually true.
He had to choose one out of two rewards.
How could they not be envious?
At this moment, everyone looked at Su Changyu again.
They knew that no matter what Su Changyu chose, he would get a great opportunity.
They were jealous and green with envy.
Unfortunately, they couldn't take his place.
"Ah, if only I got this opportunity. That'd be wonderful."
"Stop dreaming."
"If you can really obtain it, what will you choose?"
The crowd of elites knew that this chance of creation was beyond their reach, so they began to fantasize about it.
"He's definitely going to choose the first option. No matter how good the supreme Mystical Ability is, the first option is better if there are no corresponding resources."
"Yes, if he chooses the first, any treasure in the palace will lead to a battle outside, what more a pile of treasures? If I were him, I'd definitely choose the first one."
Most of the cultivators felt that the first option was better. After all, who could resist the temptation of so many treasures?
However, there were also elites who shook their heads. They were outstanding and extremely extraordinary.
"If I were to choose, I would choose the second option. The reason that the Immortal Slayer King has so many treasures is entirely because of his Mystical Ability."
"Besides, with the help of external forces, there's no point in being strong if you have an unsteady Dao Heart. At the end of the day, it'd be a loss again."
Some people chose the second option because they felt that the first one would corrupt one's Dao Heart and hence, the second one was better.
"Yes, the first reward may seem like a generous amount of treasure, but in reality, it will cause one's Dao Heart to collapse. The second option is truly the best."
"Yes, the second one is the supreme legacy that will stabilize one's Dao Heart."
Many elites stood up. They felt that the second option was better. However, they said so because they were all elites with stable Dao Hearts who didn't lack resources.
Of course, the main thing was that they did have a Dao Heart.
However, no matter what they chose, the absolute choice lay in Su Changyu's hands.
At this moment…
Su Changyu, who was standing in the void, was completely dumbfounded.
He was not interested in women and didn't like treasures or pills. However, the problem was that he couldn't wrap his head around such a large amount of treasure.
'What concept is that?'
The treasures were piled up like a mountain and each one would allow him to soar high.
Besides, there were lots of treasures in the palace.
As for the supreme Mystical Ability…
What would he need it for?
He wasn't going to fight in a brutal war, so what if he learned it?
It was just akin to having to choose between a supreme-grade cultivation technique and an inferior-grade Spirit Stone. In the situation that he wasn't allowed to sell it, Su Changyu would choose the Spirit Stone without hesitation.
What was the use of the cultivation technique?
He couldn't cultivate it.
However, Spirit Stones were different as he could use them to buy some things.
He was now torn between a palace of treasures and a supreme legacy.
Su Changyu would definitely choose the palace of treasures.
However, at this moment, the Immortal Slayer King asked, "Time's up, make your choice."
He wanted Su Changyu to make a choice now.
In an instant, everyone couldn't help but look at Su Changyu.
Su Changyu decided not to pretend anymore.
He took a deep breath.
He said slowly, "No matter how good the treasures are and how powerful the Mystical Ability is…"
"They're all fleeting."
"I'm a supreme Sword Immortal and these Mystical Abilities and Dharma treasures are nothing more than what they are."
After Su Changyu said that, there was silence in the King's Territory.

Chapter 255: The Real Test, The Willpower Of The Immortal Slayer
Su Changyu said indifferently.
Everyone fell completely silent.
'Nothing more than that?'
'There are so many Mystical Abilities, Dharma treasures, cultivation methods, and treasures, but you don't want any of them?'
No one would be able to accept that.
He had to choose between the supreme Mystical Ability and a palace of treasures. If one had an unstable Dao Heart, they should choose the treasures, but if one had a strong Dao Heart, they should choose the supreme Mystical Ability.
Yet, Su Changyu chose not to choose any.
'Is Su Changyu silly or does he have an invincible Dao Heart?'
"Senior Brother Ye, your Eldest Senior Brother is truly peerless."
Huangfu Tianlong said emotionally.
Su Changyu's behavior and decisions would often take the crowd by great surprise and give them a new perspective.
They had to admire him.
"You really don't want it?"
"I can tell you clearly that you can take away whatever you choose, I won't lie to you."
"So, don't be impulsive."
The Immortal Slayer King spoke up too.
He reiterated and emphasized his point once more as he thought that Su Changyu was worried that it might be a trap. Hence, he told Su Changyu that he would be given the rewards he chose.
The Immortal Slayer King said so.
In an instant, everyone couldn't help but look at Su Changyu.
They wanted to see if Su Changyu would change his mind.
However, Su Changyu still looked as calm as ever.
There was full of agony behind the peace.
Su Changyu didn't expect his bad habit to act up at such a juncture.
No matter what he chose, he wouldn't be at a loss.
'Why did I say that I want none of them?'
At this moment, Su Changyu was really upset.
He actually turned down someone's offer to give him a pile of treasures.
Not only did he turn down the treasures, he also turned down the supreme Mystical Ability.
'Ugh!'
'Ugh!'
'Ugh!'
Su Changyu hated himself. He had no idea what his problem was, and at this point, he even suspected that an outrageous boaster was hiding within his body.
Otherwise, how could he be so foolish?
He was extremely upset.
He wished he could slam his head against the wall and die.
He had finally obtained such a good opportunity and yet, he encountered such a matter.
It was just like how he could have obtained more treasures previously, but he just had to pretend and brag. As a result, he ended up with only one Immortal Sword.
Now, he actually turned down so many treasures.
He was speechless.
However, no matter how depressed he was, he continued to make the same mistake again and again.
In the eyes of outsiders, Su Changyu was staring at the Immortal Slayer King and speaking calmly.
"I said, there's nothing impressive about them."
There was some determination in his composure.
He was unhesitant and even seemed annoyed.
In the eyes of outsiders, Su Changyu had already made up his mind.
His action made the elites even more emotional.
If the Immortal Slayer King had only said it once, it might still be a lie, but the Immortal Slayer King had already made things so clear.
Su Changyu still stood firm to his Dao Heart.
Didn't that prove anything?
"Su Changyu can still stand firm to his Dao Heart at this point. He's definitely going to be my greatest enemy in the future."
An elite took a breath and looked at Su Changyu while making that remark.
"No, he's going to be our great enemy. We are all elites, but the difference between one elite and another lies within the Dao Heart. His Dao Heart is extraordinarily firm, and if we have to face him in the future, we probably can't surpass him."
"Yeah, seems like we've met our match."
The elites began talking and they somehow felt an enormous pressure.
Su Changyu was too powerful and it was not just in terms of strength or cultivation level.
All cultivators that could enter the second round of the King's Territory were all elites and powerhouses.
They weren't short of resources or Mystical Abilities and cultivation methods. They needed to hone their Dao Heart.
As long as their Dao Heart was honed, they would definitely soar high in the future.
However, they felt ashamed compared to Su Changyu.
In the face of such treasures, Su Changyu did not waver.
It was impossible not to be tempted by the Immortal Slayer King's legacy which many had coveted since ancient times.
Even if he was truly an immortal, there was no way he wouldn't be tempted by the Immortal Slayer King's legacy.
Yet, in such a situation, Su Changyu still chose to reject both.
His Dao Heart was countless times better than theirs.
If they were him, they'd probably make their choice immediately.
Those who were greedy would choose the first one, and if they had stable Dao Hearts, they would choose the second.
However, Su Changyu didn't choose anything because he didn't care for those treasures and Mystical Abilities.
There were only two possibilities.
The first possibility was that there was something wrong with Su Changyu's brain.
The second possibility was that Su Changyu didn't care for all of that because he only believed in his own Dao.
The former was impossible and the latter was too frightening.
"Su Changyu, I'll ask you one last time, do you really not want it?"
The Immortal Slayer King asked.
It seemed that he was momentarily stumped by Su Changyu's choice.
He questioned Su Changyu with a doubtful gaze.
He didn't believe that someone would refuse such a temptation.
Even when he was young, he wouldn't turn down such a great reward.
"I don't want to say the same thing for the third time."
In particular, they were curious about Su Changyu's answer.
It was simple but he was terrifyingly determined.
His Dao Heart was firm and stable.
'This is really rare.'
'Very good, great.'
At this moment, the Immortal Slayer King laughed out loud with joy written all over his face.
"I've finally met someone who's fated with me."
'Very good, great.'
"Su Changyu, congratulations for completing the second round of the test. You're considered to have completed the true test."
The Immortal Slayer King's laughter made all the elites stunned.
In the next moment, they started discussing again.
"It's really a test, huh?"
"It's really a test?"
"Hey! Didn't he say that he's not lying? How is this a test?"
"This test is really a test of one's heart."
Everyone was surprised.
They didn't expect that it was actually still a test, which was a bit outrageous.
However, the Immortal Slayer King soon explained to everyone.
"No."
"As I said before, this is not a test but also a test. Regardless of the choice Su Changyu makes, I will give him what he chooses, but no matter what he chooses, he wouldn't be able to complete the first round."
"My true legacy is not the supreme Mystical Ability, nor is it these so-called treasures, but the Immortal Slayer Willpower!"
"Su Changyu, you are excellent. You've made the most important choice."
"In the face of such tempting treasures, your Dao heart is still solid as gold. That proves that you can inherit my Immortal Slayer Willpower."
'Very good, great.'
The Immortal Slayer King was extremely joyful as he revealed the secret.
That made all the elites come to a sudden realization.
However, in the next moment, Su Changyu spoke up too.
"Immortal Slayer Willpower…"
However, before Su Changyu could finish his sentence, the Immortal Slayer King waved his hand and Su Changyu immediately vanished on the spot.
Only the elites were left.
He didn't give Su Changyu the chance to continue pretending and bragging.
It would be best if Su Changyu accepted the Immortal Slayer Willpower.
As for the others…
The Immortal Slayer King glanced at them before saying slowly, "I've already found my inheritor, you and the others can leave. Don't loiter for too long. The King's Territory will self-destruct in an hour."
After he said that, the entire King's Territory began to collapse.

Chapter 256: The Truth of the Immortal Slayer Willpower
The Immortal Slayer King's voice was calm, but he would not tolerate any contradiction.
Since he had already found the inheritor, there was naturally no need for the King's Territory to continue existing.
Sensing the turmoil of the void, the elites also stopped lingering around, though they were still looking at Ye Ping. They were worried that the King's Territory would directly collapse.
After all, this was a Small World and if it collapsed, no one would be able to escape.
Everyone left without lingering.
"Senior Brother Ye, what do we do?"
"Exalted Immortal, what do we do?"
Huangfu Tianlong and the Longma spoke up one after another, asking Ye Ping what to do.
"Let's go first."
Ye Ping didn't know what to do, so he had no choice but to leave first.
However, Su Changyu's voice suddenly sounded at that moment.
"Ye Ping, go wait for me in the Great Xia Dynasty."
Su Changyu told Ye Ping to go to the Great Xia Dynasty to wait for him.
"Alright."
Ye Ping immediately replied.
Huangfu Tianlong and the Longma left.
In another space, under an extremely luxurious palace.
The Immortal Slayer King was standing on the platform and looking at Su Changyu smilingly.
Su Changyu remained calm, but deep down, he was full of bewilderment and curiosity.
He didn't know what the Immortal Slayer King was going to do.
"You're great, come up."
The Immortal Slayer King asked Su Changyu to go up the platform.
The latter didn't say anything and walked towards the Immortal Slayer King.
When the two met, the Immortal Slayer King looked at the clouds in the sky and then slowly spoke, "There have been several tests in the past, but no one has ever walked up to this level. You are excellent, walk towards me."
He spoke calmly, giving him a good impression.
However, Su Changyu was curious and bewildered.
At the end of the day, he didn't even know who this person was.
However, to Su Changyu's surprise…
The Immortal Slayer King seemed to have seen through Su Changyu's thoughts.
He gazed at the clouds and spoke slowly.
"Don't you know who I am?"
He asked.
"I don't know."
Su Changyu answered honestly.
'No wonder.'
The Immortal Slayer King chuckled. He finally understood why Su Changyu was so composed when facing him.
Those who were ignorant tend to be fearless.
"Are you very strong?"
Su Changyu asked but he was still calm.
Hearing his words, the Immortal Slayer King laughed.
"I'm the lord of an era."
His simple answer showed his pride.
Su Changyu glanced at the Immortal Slayer King and couldn't help but ask, "Stronger than a Nascent Soul realm cultivator?"
The Immortal Slayer King was speechless.
The Immortal Slayer King froze in shock for a while because he didn't know how to explain to Su Changyu what a lord of an era meant.
'Nascent Soul realm?'
He could kill numerous Nascent Soul realm cultivators in one breath.
He was perplexed.
How could Su Changyu say such things?
He had already said that he was the lord of an era.
Nascent Soul realm cultivator?
What was that to him?
'I told you I'm the lord of an era and you're asking me if I'm stronger than the Nascent Soul realm?'
'Are you humiliating me?'
If the Immortal Slayer King hadn't cultivated for countless years, he would have already lost his patience.
Seeing that the Immortal Slayer King was staying silent, Su Changyu was bewildered.
Sensing Su Changyu's bewilderment, the Immortal Slayer King sighed. If the person in front of him was any other cultivator, he would have already slapped his body and soul.
However, he was Su Changyu, the first person to reach this round in countless years.
Hence, he had to bear with it.
"I'm stronger than a Nascent Soul realm cultivator."
The Immortal Slayer King said helplessly.
"What about compared to an Essence Soul realm cultivator?"
Su Changyu continued.
The Immortal Slayer King was speechless.
'Can you not ask such a question?'
'Is there something wrong with you? I'm called the Immortal Slayer King and you're asking me if I'm stronger than an Essence Soul realm cultivator?'
There were some problems with the Immortal Slayer King's state of mind.
"I'm an immortal, I'm stronger than all of them."
The Immortal Slayer King said helplessly as he informed Su Changyu of his abilities.
"Immortal?"
Su Changyu was stunned.
However, Su Changyu soon frowned and said, "You're lying, the immortals are all in the sky, you can't be an immortal."
Su Changyu was extremely firm.
Since he was a child, he had been listening to the legends about immortals that the Sect Leader told him. The so-called immortality was the ultimate goal of countless cultivators.
Once one became an immortal, they would have to head to the Immortal World.
Now that the Immortal Slayer King said that he was an immortal, Su Changyu definitely didn't believe him.
The Immortal Slayer King was speechless.
At this moment, the Immortal Slayer King really didn't know how to explain to Su Changyu.
In fact, he even stayed silent. 'How did I encounter such a weirdo?'
After a long time, the Immortal Slayer King finally snapped back to his senses as he looked at Su Changyu.
"I am indeed an immortal and I've ascended to the Immortal World too. This is just my spirit body."
The Immortal Slayer King explained.
However, he continued, "These are just trivial matters, I'm going to hand the Immortal Slayer Willpower to you."
"Do you know what the Immortal Slayer Willpower is?"
The Immortal Slayer King asked Su Changyu.
"I don't know."
Su Changyu didn't even know who the Immortal Slayer King was, let alone the Immortal Slayer Willpower.
"Okay, good that you don't. Sit down."
The Immortal Slayer King nodded in satisfaction. Su Changyu knowing nothing about it was what he wanted.
"Sit down."
Su Changyu somehow felt that the Immortal Slayer King was plotting against him, so he kept his guard up and retreated.
"Stop struggling, sit down."
The Immortal Slayer King chuckled and Su Changyu sat down immediately. He was soon forcefully held in place.
"What are you trying to do?"
Su Changyu asked calmly, but deep down, he was extremely nervous.
"I'm going to impart the Immortal Slayer Willpower to you."
"Little friend, you've got great luck. The Immortal Slayer Willpower is an Immortal Ascension method that I spent 100,000 years formulating."
"As long as you don't make things hard for yourself, you'll definitely become an immortal in the future."
The Immortal Slayer King said seriously.
As he spoke, an ancient tripod appeared in the sky.
It was an artifact that was condensed from the Immortal Slayer Willpower.
The Immortal Slaying Tripod.
It was a round, three-legged tripod that was 33 feet in size and there were some ancient divine texts engraved on it. It looked extremely plain and ancient.
Su Changyu could neither move nor speak.
The Immortal Slayer King stood in the void and looked at Su Changyu calmly.
"Su Changyu, when you choose to inherit the Immortal Slayer Willpower, you have to bear the karma of this heaven and earth."
"There is Yin and Yang in this world. Yin refers to evil and filth while Yang refers to positive energy. Every now and then, an evil demon will be revived and the Immortal Slayer Willpower is used to kill the demons."
"Killing the filthy things and doing justice for the world is known as Immortal Slaying, and you will be able to obtain a supreme immortal position."
"Su Changyu, I will give you the Immortal Slayer Willpower today, you must do justice for the world."
"Of course, you must also seize the time to improve your strength. Once the evil demons emerge, you will be killed if your cultivation level is too weak. Don't worry, I'll give all the treasures in this palace to you."
"Changyu, see you in the immortal world."
After the Immortal Slayer King said these words, his figure gradually disappeared.
The dumbfounded Su Changyu was left alone.
"What?"
'There's danger?'

Chapter 257: The Great Curtain Is Lifted
Su Changyu was a little confused.
'Why is there danger too?'
'Can I not have the Immortal Slayer Willpower?'
If he could get benefits for free, he would definitely accept them.
However, if he had to take risks, he definitely wouldn't want to.
Su Changyu couldn't handle the resistance against evil demons at all.
He could drink tea!
However, he could not go around on a killing spree or conduct rampages.
He felt that he was put in a tough spot.
However, no matter how Su Changyu wanted to explain, he could not bring himself to say those words. Most importantly, the Immortal Slayer King had already vanished.
As the Immortal Slayer King vanished… the Immortal Slayer Willpower was added to Su Changyu's body.
At this moment, Su Changyu had an unprecedented experience.
It was a willpower legacy that allowed Su Changyu to understand lots of things.
However, at this moment, the jade stone that was engraved with the words "Son of Heaven" was shining brightly in Su Changyu's essence soul.
Above the dome of the sky, the Ziwei Emperor Star also emitted an extremely brilliant ray of light.
It made the five other Emperor Stars seem lackluster in comparison.
It was the recognition of heaven.
At this moment, Su Changyu understood that the Immortal Slayer Willpower was not the willpower of the Immortal Slayer King but that of the world.
After the Immortal Slayer King obtained the willpower, he renamed it as the Immortal Slayer Willpower.
The so-called Immortal Slayer Willpower represented the battle between Yin and Yang.
Between heaven and earth, there were Yin and Yang. The so-called Yang referred to the greatness of all things and positivity.
On the other hand, Yin referred to filthy and evil things, such as the evil thoughts of the world and everything else. When the evil thoughts accumulated, a fiend would be born.
The fiend would be able to destroy everything.
However, good thoughts were also part of the willpower of heaven and earth, which would be added to each and every person to resist evil thoughts. If one won, all would be well, there would be new life in the world and everything would be revived.
However, if one lost, the demons would rule the world, a new order would be put in place, and the living beings would be destroyed.
In other words, inheriting the Immortal Slayer Willpower meant that one would become the savior of the world who saved all living beings.
At this moment, two Green Lotuses appeared on the jade stone of luck.
There were a green lotus and a black lotus.
The Green Lotus was slightly smaller than the black one.
They represented Yin and Yang. The Green Lotus was Yang and the black lotus was Yin.
In particular, seeds were about to be formed in the black lotus.
The Green Lotus was obviously rather malnourished.
At this moment, Su Changyu understood the cause and effect.
He was completely flustered.
The greatest dream of his life was to become the head of the Qingyun Dao Sect.
'He wants me to become the savior of the world? That's impossible.'
'He wants me to save the world by myself?'
'Waiting for others to save the world seems more feasible.'
'I've gone overboard this time.'
'Things have gotten out of hand.'
Su Changyu knew that once he inherited the Immortal Slayer Willpower, he would not be able to go back on his decision. Unless he died, no one would be able to take it or shift it away.
"Oh dear."
"Oh dear."
"Oh dear."
Another thing was that the black lotus was obviously much more solid and stronger than the Green Lotus, which meant that the fiend that was born from the black lotus would be much stronger than him.
Besides, once the lotus seed was born, the fiend would be born too and by then, there would be great trouble.
However, at this very moment, two lotuses were condensed above the Green Lotus and they seemed to be able to breed two people.
That made Su Changyu heave a sigh of relief.
"Two lotus seeds mean that there are two people who will inherit the will of the Heavenly Dao? That's better."
Su Changyu sighed.
If Su Changyu had to bear the responsibility alone, he would definitely flee back to his sect and stay there regardless of the birth of the fiend.
After all, there was really nothing he could do.
However, if there was still another person, Su Changyu wouldn't be too worried.
'I'll just skive and let the other person take the responsibility.'
'No matter what creation or opportunity he wants, he can have them all.'
The only troublesome thing was that Su Changyu didn't know who the person was.
At this moment, a Teleportation Array appeared in front of Su Changyu
He could leave right after inheriting the willpower of the Immortal Slayer Willpower.
At the same time, outside the King's Territory.
Everything that happened in the King's Territory had been spread around.
Countless cultivators had already found out about what happened in the King's Territory.
Many cultivators lamented that they did not expect such a thing to happen as they didn't expect the Immortal Slayer King to hide a wisp of his essence soul in there.
Ye Ping and the other two, who were outside the King's Territory, were still the ones who attracted the most attention.
It was not that Ye Ping was attracting lots of attention, but rather, the Longma was just too striking.
It was stepping on the void while being surrounded by dragon shadows, its Qi and blood like a large sun.
It was a divine beast, which was the mount of an immortal. How could it not attract the attention of the cultivators?
"Ye Ping, it seems that you have gained quite a lot of benefits."
At this moment, Xiao Muxue appeared in front of Ye Ping and couldn't help but say that after she saw the Longma.
"Greetings, Eldest Senior Sister, it's not too bad."
Ye Ping bowed immediately after he saw Xiao Muxue while Huangfu Tianlong, who was beside him, hurriedly followed suit.
"I heard that even the Immortal Slayer King has appeared in the King's Territory this time, right?"
Xiao Muxue asked.
"Yes, but the Immortal Slayer King chose Eldest Senior Brother."
Ye Ping answered seriously.
"What? He chose your Eldest Senior Brother? Who?"
Xiao Muxue was stunned.
"Senior Brother Changyu."
Ye Ping subconsciously replied. 'Isn't there only one Eldest Senior Brother?'
"Why did he choose that garbage?"
Xiao Muxue was slightly stunned as she muttered to herself.
She knew of the Immortal Slayer King's identity, but she never thought that the Immortal Slayer King would choose Su Changyu as his successor.
Things were getting messy and troublesome
"Eldest Senior Sister, you have no idea how strong Eldest Senior Brother was then. He managed to suppress all the geniuses and his performance is beyond describable."
Ye Ping was rather excited.
He was still extremely stunned by everything that Su Changyu had done in the King's Territory. Despite being faced with the elites, he managed to subdue them with a few words.
He was truly a supreme expert.
"Okay, so are you going back to the sect or what? I have some things to handle, I'll look for you another time."
Now that Xiao Muxue had learned that Su Changyu had received the legacy of the Immortal Slayer King, she had some things to take care of.
"Eldest Senior Brother asked me to go to the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty and wait for him there."
Ye Ping answered seriously.
"Okay, be careful then. Keep a low profile with this Longma too, lest you bring about trouble."
Xiao Muxue nodded while telling them to keep a low profile as she was scared that the Longma might create trouble for Ye Ping.
"Yes."
Ye Ping nodded.
Xiao Muxue immediately vanished on the spot.
Ye Ping did not think much about it and set off straight to the Great Xia Dynasty with Huangfu Tianlong and the Longma.
At the same time… outside the Qingyun Dao Sect.
A line of men in black slowly appeared.
"Do you understand the instructions given by the higher-ups?"
The leader of the men in black spoke in a cold and composed tone.
"Yes."
Everyone answered one after another.
Immediately afterwards, the group of men in black slowly walked towards the Qingyun Dao Sect.

Chapter 258: Fine, Fine, I Lied To You, Keep Going
Outside the Qingyun Dao Sect, the group of people seemed rather mysterious.
They were clad in black and were walking towards the sect.
It was nighttime.
Daoist Tai Hua was standing alone on the rear cliff and gazing at the sky full of stars.
Since he had nothing to do, Daoist Tai Hua decided to do some divination for Su Changyu and the others out of boredom.
Looking at the "ominous" divination in the trigram, Daoist Tai Hua couldn't help but seem worried.
However, when Daoist Tai Hua got an "auspicious" divination, he couldn't help but smile.
'Not bad, that means I'm quite lucky.'
"Heaven, please bless my disciples and get rid of the calamities they might face."
Daoist Tai Hua muttered.
However, at this moment, he could not help but recall the past once again.
In his mind, he vaguely saw Su Changyu in the middle of the flood.
He could also vaguely see the scene when he first met several other disciples.
However, at this moment, the single file of figures had slowly arrived in the Qingyun Dao Sect
The men in black were all wearing masks that covered most parts of their faces, revealing only their eyes that were full of icy cold gazes.
They walked over and communicated with their divine senses.
"According to the intelligence report, Ye Ping, the only powerhouse of the Qingyun Dao Sect, is our target."
"Kill all of them, don't leave any traces behind, got it?"
The leader spoke in a gloomy voice.
"Yes."
The remaining twelve men in black spoke one after another.
Soon, a figure appeared in front of them.
It was not Daoist Tai Hua, but Da Xu.
As usual, after finishing his work, Da Xu came to the front cliff of the Qingyun Dao Sect to meditate.
Ever since he came to the Qingyun Dao Sect, Da Xu felt that he had found a treasure as all the disciples were actually experts with hidden talent even though they seemed to be good-for-nothings on the surface.
Hence, all along, Da Xu had been secretly observing the disciples.
He discovered that Xu Luochen and the others would usually spend all their time studying array formations and talismans besides meditation.
Hence, Da Xu felt that there must be some treasures in the front cliff of the Qingyun Dao Sect and that it was a land of good Feng Shui.
That was also the reason why Da Xu would meditate and cultivate on the front cliff everyday.
He hoped that he would one day be able to comprehend something or discover the secrets of the Qingyun Dao Sect.
However, today…
Da Xu, who was getting ready to meditate, suddenly discovered a figure who was sneakily walking into the Qingyun Dao Sect.
In an instant, Da Xu perked up.
"Who's there?"
Da Xu frowned and hollered.
In an instant, the group of men in black immediately detected Da Xu.
"A fiend of the Nascent Soul realm?"
"I didn't expect a tiny sect to be able to produce a Nascent Soul realm cultivator."
"This is the Ghost King."
The men in black immediately saw through the cultivation level of Da Xu's main body.
They were a little surprised but they were not scared. One of them even directly sacrificed a treasure mirror that immediately emitted a ray of fiery red light that shone on Da Xu.
"Three-Spirit True Flames?"
Da Xu's expression changed and he was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated. However, the mirror was extremely extraordinary as it emitted light so rapidly that it was difficult to dodge.
sizzles*
White smoke emanated from Da Xu's body, and it looked extremely lethal.
"Sect Leader, the enemy is attacking, the enemy is attacking."
However, Da Xu immediately yelled to remind Daoist Tai Hua of the enemy's attack.
He and Daoist Tai Hua were the only ones left in the entire Qingyun Dao Sect. Although he didn't know who the other party was, Da Xu's first reaction was to quickly inform the Sect Leader.
The deafening sound spread throughout the Qingyun Dao Sect.
On the cliff, Daoist Tai Hua was still pondering and his expression changed after he heard the sound again.
'The enemy is attacking?'
'What do you mean?'
Daoist Tai Hua was dumbfounded.
'Why did I get attacked by the enemy for no rhyme or reason?'
However, at this moment, more than ten figures immediately appeared on the rear cliff of the Qingyun Dao Sect.
Dozens of people surrounded Daoist Tai Hua and also brought Da Xu over.
"Where is Ye Ping?"
"Hand over Ye Ping, and you can be spared."
Before Daoist Tai Hua could figure things out, those people had already appeared in front of him.
They were very strong and were on par with the Nascent Soul realm cultivators. Otherwise, Da Xu wouldn't have been unable to retaliate.
Everyone looked at Daoist Tai Hua. After searching the entire Qingyun Dao Sect with their divine senses, they discovered that only Da Xu and Daoist Tai Hua were around.
At that moment, they could not help but frown and ask various questions.
When they were at the foot of the mountain previously, they didn't dare to search using their divine senses as they were worried about alarming the enemies. However, they didn't expect that Ye Ping wasn't there.
"Everyone, what happened? Did Ye Ping get into trouble out there?"
"If he has, please forgive him. I can apologize to you on his behalf."
Daoist Tai Hua had never seen so many people showing up aggressively before.
'Why did this troublesome matter happen out of nowhere?'
'Why did a bunch of uninvited guests suddenly show up here?'
Daoist Tai Hua subconsciously thought that Ye Ping must have created trouble and was thinking of making peace.
However, the leader of the men in black had an icy cold gaze.
He stood with his hands by the side. In his opinion, Daoist Tai Hua was just an ordinary Qi Refinement cultivator.
Hence, he didn't have any scruples nor did he keep his guard up.
"There are some things that you don't need to know. Now, write a letter to your disciple and tell him to come back. I can guarantee that I won't hurt him. We're just going to invite him to make a trip with us."
His tone was calm and he made it sound as if there was just a minor conflict.
However, although Daoist Tai Hua was not a great cultivator, he still had experience in immortal cultivation, and he knew that something must be going on. Otherwise, they wouldn't have gone to such great lengths and sent so many people.
"Everyone, I think there must be some misunderstanding, why don't we sit down and have a good chat? If my disciple has offended you, I definitely won't cover up for him."
Daoist Tai Hua was still trying to figure out what was going on.
However, the latter shook his head.
In an instant, Da Xu shrieked in misery.
The red light of the mirror was shining on him and making him feel as if his body was in flames. It was a Dharma treasure that was meant for suppressing evil demons.
Da Xu's physical body was smoking and he was rolling on the ground in immense misery that he could not break free from.
"Da Xu."
Daoist Tai Hua called out, and when he looked at everyone, his tone became weaker.
"Let's talk things over calmly, don't be like this."
"What exactly happened? Everyone, please make it clear."
Daoist Tai Hua was not afraid, but rather, he was at a loss for what to do, especially when he saw the way Da Xu was behaving. He was seriously heartbroken.
"Okay, since you are feigning ignorance, I'll tell you."
"Did you pick up an orphan more than 20 years ago?"
The leader of the men in black asked.
"Yes, but that wasn't Ye Ping."
Daoist Tai Hua nodded and replied.
"Not Ye Ping? You're still lying to me, huh?"
The leader of the men in black said coldly
In the next moment, the light of the mirror became even more blazing while Da Xu shrieked loudly.
"I didn't lie to you, Ye Ping is my most junior disciple. I didn't even know him more than twenty years ago."
"I'm really not lying."
"Okay, fine, fine, I lied. Keep going."
Daoist Tai Hua kept explaining while Da Xu kept getting burned. In the end, Daoist Tai Hua finally bit the bullet and falsely admitted to it.

Chapter 259: Do You Know What Happened Twenty Years Ago?
If it wasn't for the fact that Da Xu was in such great agony while being burnt, Daoist Tai Hua honestly intended to have a good talk with the bunch of people.
After all, he felt that they could rob him for all he cared, but they shouldn't cook up stories or twist the facts and lie.
That was the principle of the Qingyun Dao Sect.
However, since Da Xu was in someone else's sect, he had to bow down and obey.
"Twenty years ago, you saved an orphan, but do you know his identity and background?"
The other party's tone was calm as he stood with his hands by his side while staring at Daoist Tai Hua.
"Changyu's identity?"
Daoist Tai Hua frowned slightly with a sullen expression.
sizzles*
In the next moment, Da Xu shrieked miserably again.
Daoist Tai Hua immediately spoke up.
"You mean Ye Ping's background?"
Daoist Tai Hua asked.
"Yes, do you know who Ye Ping is?"
The other party asked coldly.
"Who is it?"
Daoist Tai Hua was obviously curious.
"Hmph, quit feigning ignorance, you're obviously aware."
The other party questioned coldly.
"I don't know."
Daoist Tai Hua shook his head.
sizzles*
Da Xu wailed again.
"Okay, okay, I get it. I get it."
Daoist Tai Hua was helpless.
However, Da Xu was feeling the most helpless.
Da Xu was confused. 'What does Ye Ping's matter have to do with me? It's not my fault that Daoist Tai Hua made a mistake.'
'Why am I the one who's getting beaten up?'
'Please.'
'Let me off, I can ask Ye Ping to come here and you guys can talk to him, okay?'
'Don't bully me.'
'Have you got a conscience at all? Do you have morals? You're bullying a ghost?'
Da Xu was really furious.
He didn't do anything at all and the matter had nothing to do with him either. Yet, he was the one getting punished.
'If you want to kill me, just kill me. What are you torturing me for?'
"Since you know who Ye Ping is, you should also know what we are here to do, right?"
The other party said.
"I…"
Daoist Tai Hua was just about to say that he didn't know, but after seeing Da Xu's gaze, he ended up nodding.
The latter looked very satisfied. He then took a few steps forward to look at Daoist Tai Hua.
"Your Excellency, you're a smart man."
"This matter has nothing to do with you. Hand over your disciple and I will give you a reward. I'll give you a sum of Spirit Stones that is enough to last you a lifetime."
"I know it's hard for you to sever ties with him, but you must know what Ye Ping's identity is. Do you understand?"
The other party tried to coerce Daoist Tai Hua and tempting him with benefits but his agenda was clear.
He wanted to know where Ye Ping was.
Of course, more importantly, Daoist Tai Hua could lure Ye Ping over.
However, Daoist Tai Hua shook his head helplessly.
Although he knew that the other party misunderstood, he did not want to explain. After all, it seemed that they wouldn't hear his explanation.
Secondly, he wouldn't harm his disciples, be it Su Changyu or Ye Ping.
Daoist Tai Hua sighed.
Before he could say anything, the latter's gaze became cold.
"Do you want to be dealt with the hard way?"
As he spoke, the light of the mirror became brighter and Da Xu wailed incessantly.
"Please just kill me."
Da Xu cried loudly. He would rather die than continue suffering. He was the Ghost King, an evil being, and the light released by the mirror was the light of the golden sun. When shone on him, it was a hundred times as miserable as he would be if he were placed in a furnace.
Ordinary people simply could not tolerate such pain and it was so extreme that Da Xu wailed incessantly.
Daoist Tai Hua was dumbfounded too.
'I haven't said anything yet. I just shook my head and you're acting like this?'
"Wait a minute."
Daoist Tai Hua reached his hand out.
"Can I ask a question?"
He took a deep breath and asked.
"Go ahead."
The latter stopped torturing Da Xu and instead looked at Daoist Tai Hua.
"Who sent you?"
Daoist Tai Hua asked.
"Do you need to know?"
The latter looked at Daoist Tai Hua and replied ambiguously.
"At the very least, I want to know why I'm dying. If I die without knowing the reason, I'll be indignant."
Daoist Tai Hua said seriously.
Even a fool knew that if he revealed Su Changyu or Ye Ping's whereabouts, they definitely wouldn't let him off.
He had known since ten years ago that in order to get rid of a problem, he had to get rid of the root cause too.
After hearing his words, the latter was silent.
He had thought that Daoist Tai Hua could be deceived easily, but he didn't expect Daoist Tai Hua to be able to see through their intentions to kill.
However, even so, he did not panic and instead continued to lie.
"As long as you tell us the whereabouts of Ye Ping, I can guarantee that those other disciples of yours will not die even if you have to die. I'll also give them a sum of Spirit Stones. I'm doing you a favor by helping you settle your relationship with your disciples."
"You're not wrong and I don't want to kill you, but unfortunately, you are involved in this matter, so…"
He continued to lie. After all, he was worried that Daoist Tai Hua might choose to let all of them die together with him instead of telling the truth.
It didn't matter if Daoist Tai Hua died or not because Ye Ping was the most important.
Hence, he had to stabilize Daoist Tai Hua.
However, Daoist Tai Hua continued to shake his head.
"I just want the answer, I don't know about everything else."
For some reason, Daoist Tai Hua's aura had changed slightly.
The latter was silent.
After pondering about it, he spoke slowly.
"The Emperor Star of the Great Xia Dynasty."
His answer was quite vague.
The Emperor Star of the Great Xia Dynasty referred to the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, but it could also refer to the Crown Prince.
However, for Daoist Tai Hua, the answer was enough.
"Sure enough, it has finally come to this."
Daoist Tai Hua shook his head and sighed deeply
"Enough, where is Ye Ping?"
The other party did not want to continue wasting time and simply coerced Daoist Tai Hua.
However, Daoist Tai Hua remained extremely calm.
"Let me ask you one more thing."
"Do you know what happened in Qingzhou 20 years ago?"
Daoist Tai Hua asked the man in black calmly.
"What's the matter?"
The latter frowned slightly, but soon he couldn't help but ask.
"Twenty years ago, a foreign treasure emerged in Qingzhou and it led to a great fight between two Essence Soul realm cultivators. It eventually led to a huge calamity in Qingzhou."
Daoist Tai Hua said slowly.
However, in the next moment, the other party's expression instantly changed, and several Sword Qi appeared around him.
Moreover, an extremely cold voice rang in his ears.
"Remember, you have to be decisive and not long-winded in your next life."
A voice sounded.
Not far away, a spiritual talisman was ripped off Daoist Tai Hua's chest.
In the blink of an eye, horrifying spiritual energy spread throughout the entire Qingyun Mountain Range.
"Oh no! He's an Essence Soul realm powerhouse!"
"No! This is not the Essence Soul realm, it's the Mahayana realm!"
At the next moment, many people yelled and exclaimed in shock.

Chapter 260: The Process
In the Qingyun Dao Sect, the bunch of men in black would have never thought that Daoist Tai Hua was a supreme expert.
A Mahayana realm powerhouse.
There were very few in this world.
'How could such a powerhouse appear in a small sect?'
At the rear cliff of Qingyun Dao Sect, Daoist Tai Hua removed the spirit talisman on his chest.
He was neither happy nor did he intend to boast. Instead, he looked at the men in black helplessly.
Daoist Tai Hua had a complicated look in his eyes. He was helpless and did not bear any hatred against the people.
"Senior, Senior, I hope you will forgive me."
"We are just following orders, this is not our intention at all, I hope you will forgive us."
The men in black began to chicken out.
They immediately knelt on the ground and begged for forgiveness, because they didn't know what to do apart from that.
They were facing a Mahayana realm powerhouse.
It would be an understatement to say that they were worlds apart from Daoist Tai Hua.
All of them tried to flee.
Facing a Mahayana realm cultivator, they really couldn't resist at all. All they felt was fear and respect.
In the entire Qingyun Dao Sect, only one person was pleased while the rest were gloomy.
Even Daoist Tai Hua was displeased.
Da Xu was the only one who was happy.
After being tortured for such a long time, he didn't expect that the Sect Leader was actually a hidden expert.
To be honest, Da Xu was curious at first, but the Sect Leader was clearly a supreme expert so there was no need for him to keep hiding.
Da Xu now understood that the Sect Leader was trying to confuse them.
He pretended to be weak at first, but his agenda was to force them to reveal the mastermind.
It was an impressive trick, but the only drawback was that it had put him under a lot of suffering.
Now that he had finished suffering, he was enjoying the bliss.
Da Xu struggled to break free from the light of the mirror.
He attacked right away and beat the people up into a pulp. He didn't forget how they tortured him just now.
However, before they attacked, Da Xu looked at Daoist Tai Hua.
The latter seemed to be very troubled and vexed. After sensing the gaze that was shot on him, he neither answered nor restrained his intentions.
Da Xu immediately attacked and beat them up without hesitation.
He was extremely violent and brutal. After all, they didn't show him any mercy just now.
"Stop fighting, stop fighting, you're going to kill us."
"We'll tell you, we'll tell you everything. Seniors, please spare us."
"Exalted Immortal, Senior, we were just following the orders. We're not the mastermind."
They were beaten up so badly that they started to doubt life.
They were crying and screaming on the ground, completely spineless.
It was hard to imagine that the Emperor Star of the Great Xia Dynasty would send such people to assassinate Ye Ping.
'They've only been beaten up for a short while and they can't stand it anymore?'
"Enough, Da Xu."
At this moment, Daoist Tai Hua sighed and stopped Da Xu.
"Sect Leader, are you going to let these guys off just like that?"
Hearing Daoist Tai Hua's voice, Da Xu was a little depressed. In his opinion, it seemed that this group of people had come over to assassinate them.
How could he let them off just like that?
However, Daoist Tai Hua did not answer Da Xu and instead looked at the group of people.
"Have the royals of the Great Xia Dynasty already found out about Changyu's identity?"
Daoist Tai Hua spoke up and looked at everyone calmly.
"Changyu?"
"Senior, it's Ye Ping."
"Yes, Senior, you are wrong again, we have come to deal with Ye Ping."
Everyone spoke up seriously. They were insistent on correcting Daoist Tai Hua's mistakes.
"Okay, do they know about Ye Ping's identity?"
Daoist Tai Hua didn't have much to say as he merely asked about that.
"Yes, the Emperor Star is already aware of Ye Ping's identity."
The man in black replied but the Emperor Star he was talking about was not the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, but the Crown Prince, who was the future Emperor Star.
"Indeed."
Daoist Tai Hua sighed as he stood near them and slowly spoke.
"Senior Brother, you really guessed correctly, the true demon is hiding in the Great Xia Dynasty."
However, Daoist Tai Hua shook his head helplessly.
He then waved his hand and looked at Da Xu.
"Da Xu, send them home."
Having gotten his answer, Daoist Tai Hua had nothing more to say. Since they could not be used, he asked Da Xu to send them home.
However, as soon as he said that, Da Xu was stunned.
He didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence.
However, before the men in black could explain further, Daoist Tai Hua waved his hand and sealed their mouths, rendering them immobile and unable to speak.
At this moment, Da Xu probably understood what Daoist Tai Hua meant.
"Okay, Sect Leader."
Da Xu was overjoyed. He had been greatly angered previously and he was also the Ghost King so he was used to doing such things.
Daoist Tai Hua sat alone on the rear cliff of the Qingyun Dao Sect and fell silent.
His eyes were full of helplessness.
He had just removed the spirit talisman of his body.
In fact, he was indeed a hidden expert, but it was not because he didn't like to brag.
Rather, more than twenty years ago, he had been chased by a bunch of people after he stole Su Changyu from the palace of the Great Xia Dynasty.
The process of the entire matter was extremely complicated.
More than twenty years ago, everyone in the world knew that an auspicious light descended from heaven and the world was full of auspiciousness when the Tenth Prince was born.
However, no one knew that there was endless sanguine light after the auspicious light.
A fiend was also born on the very same day.
The reason that Daoist Tai Hua stole Su Changyu away was because he had calculated with the Supreme Heavenly Secret that someone wanted to harm the infant Su Changyu.
He wanted to sacrifice Su Changyu to awaken the fiend.
As an orthodox cultivator, Daoist Tai Hua naturally could not let this happen.
Hence, he intervened and saved Su Changyu.
However, Daoist Tai Hua did not expect that the person who wanted to harm Su Changyu was his Senior Brother.
His Senior Brother had defected to the Fiendcelestial Cult and attempted to use Su Changyu's blood to awaken the Fiend of Destruction.
Hence, more than twenty years ago, he and his Senior Brother had a huge fight in Qingzhou, which he won by a close margin as he injured his Senior Brother and then sealed his cultivation level while hiding in the Qingyun Dao Sect.
However, he did not expect…
He encountered such a troublesome matter that left him with no choice but to remove the spirit talisman.
Once he did, his Senior Brother would detect him immediately.
In other words, things had gotten much more troublesome.
However, Daoist Tai Hua knew that there were many things that could not be kept hidden now, so instead of continuing to hide, he might as well be open and aboveboard.
He would stay firm and deal with everything that came his way.
However, at this moment, someone spoke up slowly.
"Junior Brother, we haven't met in more than two decades. Miss me yet?"

Chapter 261: The Entire Process, Tai Hua's Secret
"Junior Brother, we haven't met in more than two decades. Miss me yet?"
The old voice was sentimental.
In Qingyun Dao Sect…
After hearing the voice again, Daoist Tai Hua did not seem surprised at all. Instead, he sighed and followed the voice.
"I didn't expect that you've been ambushed in Qingzhou for such a long time. It's been more than twenty years. Senior Brother, are you still not over it?"
Daoist Tai Hua's voice was full of helplessness.
At this moment, a figure appeared on the rear cliff and the difference this time was that he was a middle-aged man, but his voice resembled that of an old man.
He stood in front of Daoist Tai Hua impassively.
"Can't get over it?"
The middle-aged man spoke with a straight face, but he looked at Daoist Tai Hua with an icy cold gaze in his eyes.
"Senior Brother, you're too persistent."
Daoist Tai Hua sighed and said.
Da Xu, who was at the side, fell silent at this moment. He didn't dare to say anything. After all, it wasn't an appropriate time to speak now.
"Persistent?"
"Junior Brother, you've really learned Master's tricks well, no wonder he likes you so much."
Daoist Tai Hua's senior brother spoke with a tone that was full of derision.
"Senior Brother, let it go. So many years have passed, and your plan has already failed. If you still have any hatred within you, will killing me get rid of the resentment that you're harboring?"
Daoist Tai Hua looked at him and said.
However, the latter shook his head and looked at Daoist Tai Hua with a murderous gaze.
"Tai Hua, I always treated you like my Junior Brother and took so much care of you. More than twenty years ago, I comprehended an Immortal Ascension method but I didn't tell anyone. You were the only person I told this to."
"However, not only did you not help me, but you also ruined my plan. Now, you're taking the moral high ground too. Junior Brother, why have you become so hypocritical!?!"
The latter clenched his fists while glaring at Daoist Tai Hua with his eyes full of fury.
However, as soon as he said that, Daoist Tai Hua had a bitter expression on his face.
"Senior Brother, your Immortal Ascension method requires the sacrifice of countless people and I would rather not become an immortal. Besides, even if you really become immortal, you will bear heavier karma of heaven and earth."
"When the time comes, you'll neither be an immortal nor a ghost but a mishmash of both. That would be doing yourself a disservice."
Daoist Tai Hua was still trying to persuade and explain, in hopes that the other party would understand.
However, the latter simply flicked his robe and hollered furiously.
"Don't make yourself out to be so kind. If one does not fend for himself, he will die."
"Everything in the world is predestined. If there are countless living beings in a cup of tea and you gulp it in one go, is that compassion?"
"Mortals capture and kill livestock for consumption, is that what you call compassion?"
"At the end of the day, it's just about strength. So what if it concerns the people of the world? Sacrificing a portion of them to help me ascend to an immortal is a trivial thing that will no longer matter after hundreds or thousands of years."
He hollered furiously with his eyes full of anger.
His words were contrary to the heavenly laws.
"Senior Brother, your logic is twisted!"
Daoist Tai Hua took a deep breath and said so.
"Twisted logic?"
"Hah, there's no point for you to say anything now. I'm going to put an end to the feud between us that has existed for more than two decades."
"Besides, after I become an immortal, all my logic will be right."
Daoist Tai Hua's Senior Brother had become completely obsessed as his eyes were full of stubborn desires and an intent to kill.
"Senior Brother, as I just said, if you want to kill me to vent your anger, I'm standing right here."
Daoist Tai Hua sighed. He was willing to give up his life in exchange for the other party to let go of the hatred within him.
However, the latter burst into laughter.
"Kill you? Is it going to be as simple as killing you?"
"More than twenty years ago, you and I fought a battle where you seriously wounded me and after that, you used the ancient token of mortalization to seal your cultivation while forcing yourself to mortalize. You sealed your memories and cut off all aura."
"I've been looking for you for the past twenty years, and now that I've found you after so much painstaking effort, do you really think it's going to be as simple as killing you?"
He burst into laughter and revealed the secret of the battle they had back in the day.
After hearing his words, Daoist Tai Hua couldn't help but look very helpless.
Yes.
More than twenty years ago, someone held records that stated that the great calamity of Qingzhou involved a fight between two Essence Soul realm cultivators that led to the eradication of living beings in Qingzhou.
However, in reality, it was not a fight between two Essence Soul realm cultivators, but two Mahayana realm powerhouses, who were Daoist Tai Hua and his Senior Brother.
Later on, Daoist Tai Hua severely wounded his Senior Brother and tampered with the memories of all the cultivators in Qingzhou using an incredible method. Hence, everyone mistakenly thought that it was a battle for a treasure between two Essence Soul realm cultivators.
In the end, Daoist Tai Hua began to mortalize using an ancient mortalizing talisman.
He forgot everything and all he knew was that he was an ordinary cultivator who had established the Qingyun Dao Sect and sealed his cultivation.
However, just a few days ago, he received the Seven Kings inheritance by chance and used the Eight Trigrams, which shook the ancient mortalizing talisman. As a result, he regained a portion of his memories.
That was the reason that his Senior Brother had detected it.
However, even so, Daoist Tai Hua didn't want to completely expose it. If the people of the Great Xia Dynasty hadn't come looking for him today, he wouldn't have revealed the talisman.
However, after he did so, he also had his own thoughts.
He wanted to make a closure between him and his Senior Brother.
More than twenty years ago, his Senior Brother wanted to sacrifice Su Changyu in order to become an immortal before using the lives of countless people to awaken the Fiendcelestial and obtain the mysteries of becoming an immortal.
However, Daoist Tai Hua ruined the plan, though he knew that the scores had to be settled sooner or later.
Now that Su Changyu had grown up and the plan had been completely destroyed, he would die without regrets.
"Senior Brother, the Immortal Ascension method has already been broken, just kill me if you want to."
Daoist Tai Hua had nothing to say.
In his eyes, his Senior Brother had already slipped into obsession after becoming unable to become an immortal. All that was left within him was resentment.
However, Daoist Tai Hua's Senior Brother shook his head and continued to speak gloomily.
"You're wrong."
"Tai Hua, you're very wrong."
"Back then, you ruined my plan, and I even thought that it was impossible to become an immortal. However, do you know what I discovered after I was severely injured by you?"
"I discovered the relics of the ancient fiend cult that were hidden within Qingzhou, and I learned the way to truly become an immortal. It's the Great Demonizing Technique."
"I can't become an immortal, but it's the same if I can become a Fiendcelestial. As long as I find the son of heavenly destiny and sacrifice him to set up an array formation with the blood of 100,000,000 people, I can revive the Fiendcelestial and incorporate him into my body to be awakened."
"At that time, I can still become an immortal, hahahahaha!"
He was laughing hysterically with some mania.
"Senior Brother, if you do that, you might be seized by the devil. You've already been bewitched, this is clearly fake."
Daoist Tai Hua persuaded.
"Seized? So what? At least I can become an immortal. At least, I can have the chance to become an immortal. I won't let him succeed."
"I've reached the end, if I don't put up a fight, I'll die."
"Tai Hua, I'm giving you one last chance. Help me take him over and we will still be Senior Brother and Junior Brother. I will help you through Immortal Ascension too!"
"You're the only relative I have left in this world. Tai Hua, I can put everything behind us. What do you think?"
He looked at Daoist Tai Hua with an expectant gaze.

Chapter 262: Tai Hua Passes Away
The other party's eyes were full of zeal.
At the same time, he also had some expectations.
However, facing his Senior Brother, Daoist Tai Hua sighed eventually.
"Senior Brother, stop, there's no way your plan will work."
Daoist Tai Hua shook his head as he spoke, his tone filled with helplessness.
However, his Senior Brother laughed upon hearing that.
"Hahahaha."
"Junior Brother, you're still the same. I finally understand why Master likes you so much."
"You are the same as Master. Both of you obey the rules of heaven, but have you ever thought about something?"
"We cultivators are not in line with the laws of heaven in the first place as we plunder the Yin and Yang of the world and seize creation. Yet, you're thinking of obeying the rules of heaven."
"That's ridiculous."
Daoist Tai Hua's Senior Brother sneered.
At this point, he looked at Daoist Tai Hua with a cold and sinister gaze.
"However, I can give you one last chance, you have inherited Master's Heavenly Secret Technique, so perform a divination on yourself to find out if you will die or not."
"If it turns out that you have to die, don't blame me. If not, I'll let you off. How does that sound?"
He told Daoist Tai Hua to perform a divination for himself.
"Alright."
Daoist Tai Hua nodded and agreed without hesitation.
After saying this, Daoist Tai Hua took out the Eight Trigrams and performed the Heavenly Secret Technique.
All sorts of light were released from the Eight Trigrams.
Daoist Tai Hua seemed extremely calm as he continuously released all sorts of seals.
15 minutes later, a word appeared on the Eight Trigrams.
"Ominous."
That was the result of the divination.
After seeing that divination, Daoist Tai Hua did not reveal any horror or fear. Instead, he smiled.
That took Da Xu by surprise.
'Why did you smile even though it's ominous?'
He was confused.
Daoist Tai Hua's Senior Brother was bewildered too.
"Why are you smiling?"
He asked Daoist Tai Hua.
However, before he could answer, an Eight Trigrams ring appeared below Da Xu's feet.
At this moment, he finally realized what was going on.
Daoist Tai Hua wasn't doing a divination at all, but rather, he was setting up an array formation.
He was going to teleport Da Xu to somewhere else.
Otherwise, Da Xu would definitely die there.
"Sect Leader?"
"This?"
Da Xu also didn't expect that Daoist Tai Hua was actually trying to send him away after making the divinations.
For a moment, Da Xu was at a loss for words.
"Da Xu, leave quickly, bring this letter to them, and remember, don't think about taking revenge for me."
After saying that, a flying sword immediately appeared in Daoist Tai Hua's hand.
The flying sword was black and filled with countless Sword Qi.
"Senior Brother, I could defeat you more than 20 years ago and so can I now."
Daoist Tai Hua drew his sword and looked in front.
The sword shadows were spreading throughout the entire Qingyun Dao Sect.
"Junior Brother, you think too much."
"More than twenty years ago, I was attacked and if it wasn't for the fact that the princes and marquises had jointly attacked me, I wouldn't have been severely wounded."
"Junior Brother, Master imparted to you the Heavenly Secret divination method but he imparted the strongest sword technique to me. You can't defeat me."
Daoist Tai Hua's Senior Brother said so.
He was very confident and conceited as he stood with his hands behind his back, not revealing his sword at all.
"Even so, let's give it a try."
Daoist Tai Hua struck.
In the instant he struck, Da Xu left and vanished right on the spot.
Daoist Tai Hua's Senior Brother didn't try to stop him. He knew that he couldn't stop it because Daoist Tai Hua used the Heavenly Secret technique to help Da Xu teleport.
Hence, things had already been set in stone.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The light of the sword charged into the sky, lighting up the entire Qingyun Dao Sect.
However, Daoist Tai Hua's Senior Brother merely reached his hand out calmly while suppressing the endless sword intent.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
More terrifying Sword Qi spread everywhere and everything in the Qingyun Dao Sect turned into Sword Qi.
The Sword Qi made them feel chilly.
Under the suppression of the terrifying Sword Qi, Daoist Tai Hua's robe bulged and he could hardly withstand the pressure.
Pfft.
Daoist Tai Hua's face turned extremely pale after he spat a mouthful of blood onto the ground.
"Junior Brother, are you really not going to work with me? We're talking about Immortal Ascension. Once you become an immortal, what is left to hold on to in this world?"
"No big deal, how about I bless the world in the future?"
Daoist Tai Hua's Senior Brother, who still did not want to kill Daoist Tai Hua, asked him.
He hoped that Daoist Tai Hua could work together with him to achieve great success.
"Senior Brother, stop."
However, that was all Daoist Tai Hua said.
Pfft.
In the next moment, Daoist Tai Hua's Senior Brother stopped talking nonsense and his Sword Qi shot right through Daoist Tai Hua's heart.
The Sword Qi had not only pierced through Daoist Tai Hua's heart, but also crushed Daoist Tai Hua's tendons and veins.
There was no room for error.
"Junior Brother, you forced me into this."
"Got it?"
Daoist Tai Hua's Senior Brother remained calm as he stood in front of Daoist Tai Hua.
Boom.
It was the sound of thunder.
There was a downpour which seemed to be seeing Daoist Tai Hua off.
His tendons had been crushed and his heart had been pierced through. All the vitality had been severed.
Even if the immortals came, it would be difficult for them to save Daoist Tai Hua.
The rain poured and drenched Daoist Tai Hua's robe.
He was half-kneeling on the ground.
He could barely keep himself up.
He was vomiting blood incessantly, and his face was as pale as a sheet.
Fresh blood flowed down from the corners of his mouth, staining his lapel. However, Daoist Tai Hua didn't have any bit of sorrow, and instead, he smiled.
"What on earth are you smiling about?"
Daoist Tai Hua's Senior Brother squeezed his throat with a cold and sinister gaze.
He did not understand what Daoist Tai Hua was smiling about.
"Senior Brother."
"Do you know who I made the divination for just now?"
Daoist Tai Hua smiled. Although his face was extremely pale, his eyes were full of joy.
"Who?"
"Me?"
Daoist Tai Hua's Senior Brother asked with a frown.
Daoist Tai Hua did not speak, but he only sighed slowly.
"Even if it's for me, so what?"
"Junior Brother, I will prove to you that the outcome of your divination is always opposite from reality."
After saying that, he gradually vanished on the spot.
Daoist Tai Hua's opportunity was gone and no one could save him.
He didn't have to worry about someone saving Daoist Tai Hua.
No one would be able to save him.
Ka-cha.
A ray of thunder shot through the sky.
Raindrops fell on Daoist Tai Hua's body.
The rain made everything wet.
It diluted the blood.
It was nighttime as the faint moonlight shone on Daoist Tai Hua's body.
As the rain gradually stopped, Daoist Tai Hua lay on the ground motionlessly.
Two words appeared beside Daoist Tai Hua.
"Heavenly fate."
They were written with blood.
Daoist Tai Hua had passed away.
All his life was gone.
On the following day, the skies were clear.
In the Great Xia Dynasty.
Su Changyu stood in an inn in the city.
For some reason, he had emotions that he could not put into words.
He somehow felt melancholic.
However, at this moment, Ye Ping knocked on the door.

Chapter 263: Off To Make A Closure with My Birth Father

"Senior Brother Changyu."
As Su Changyu opened the door to the room, Ye Ping spoke up.
"Little Junior Brother."
Su Changyu nodded and picked up the teacup on the table to pour some tea for Ye Ping.
"Senior Brother Changyu, you look a little distracted."
Ye Ping met up with Su Changyu in the Great Xia Dynasty after he left the King's Territory.
However, Ye Ping still didn't know what Su Changyu was at the Great Xia Dynasty for. He had only noticed the changes in Su Changyu's expression now. After all, Su Changyu had been maintaining a calm expression.
"Nothing, I just had a bad dream."
Su Changyu shook his head and decided not to talk about that subject.
"Okay." Ye Ping nodded and looked at Su Changyu.
"Eldest Senior Brother, do we have anything to do in the Great Xia Dynasty this time?"
Ye Ping asked Su Changyu as he didn't know what Su Changyu was there at the Great Xia Dynasty for.
"To look for a relative."
Su Changyu answered calmly.
However, his answer surprised Ye Ping.
'To look for a relative?'
'Didn't Master say that Eldest Senior Brother is an orphan?'
Looking at the curiosity in Ye Ping's eyes, Su Changyu slowly explained, "Do you remember the two people I brought back to the sect with me some time ago?"
Su Changyu said.
"Yes…"
Ye Ping nodded and answered.
"One of them is my father."
Su Changyu's tone was calm, and when he mentioned his father, there was no fluctuation in his emotion at all.
"One of them?"
Ye Ping's gaze was filled with even more curiosity.
"Yes, do you know who it is?"
Su Changyu asked Ye Ping to guess.
"Is it Old Xia?"
Ye Ping said without thinking.
However, those words made Su Changyu shake his head.
"It's not him, but Old Xuan."
Su Changyu answered.
After hearing his words, Ye Ping was a little surprised. After all, Su Changyu didn't resemble Taishang Xuanji at all, but Su Changyu did look a little similar to the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty.
'But since Senior Brother said it's Old Xuan, it should be him, right?'
"Congratulations then, Senior Brother. You've finally found your family."
Ye Ping congratulated Su Changyu. It was a good thing since he had found his biological parents.
However, Su Changyu shook his head and looked at Ye Ping.
"There's nothing worth congratulating."
"Although I know my biological father's identity now, he doesn't want to acknowledge me."
Su Changyu sounded melancholic, but his expression was still as composed as ever.
"You're being serious, Eldest Senior Brother. Which parent in this world wouldn't want to reconcile with their children?"
Ye Ping tried to persuade him. After all, he couldn't spout nonsense.
However, Su Changyu sipped on some tea and looked at the traffic outside the window.
"Ye Ping, you have no idea, my father abandoned me and my mother for the sake of marrying a wealthy woman."
"I actually thought about it once, I just didn't expect that the reality would be so cruel."
"But, so be it, I have no ambition or aspiration, I just want to stay in Qingyun Dao Sect."
"I'm here this time to make a closure."
"After so many years of cultivation, I've seen through a lot of things."
Su Changyu seemed to have seen through everything.
"Um…"
Ye Ping was at a loss for words.
A moment later, Su Changyu stood up, put the teacup on the table, and looked at Ye Ping.
"Junior Brother, come with me."
Su Changyu said in a calm tone.
"Where to?"
Ye Ping could not help but ask about it.
"To look for my biological father and make a closure. Then, we'll head back to the sect together."
Su Changyu walked out of the room and said.
"Alright."
Ye Ping didn't think much about it and left the inn with Su Changyu.
At the same time… in the Crown Prince's palace.
Xia Qian's eyes were full of shock after he heard the guard's words.
"Are you saying that all the people I sent have died and so has the Sect Leader of the Qingyun Dao Sect?"
Xia Qian asked with a frown.
"Your Highness, I discovered their corpses when I went to the Qingyun Dao Sect. The Sect Leader of the Qingyun Dao Sect was one of them."
"However, according to my judgment, two of them shouldn't have died because of an intense battle. Our people were killed with a single fatal shot and there weren't any other wounds. The Sect Leader of the Qingyun Dao Sect was killed by an extremely powerful Sword Qi."
"The owner of this Sword Qi is at least a powerhouse above the Essence Soul realm."
The other party knelt on the ground and said so.
'What's going on?'
Xia Qian frowned as he really couldn't think of an answer.
"Your Highness, this matter is actually simple. The Qingyun Dao Sect has offended someone and that person happened to show up at the same time that our people did."
The guard explained.
Xia Qian nodded slightly.
"Have you taken care of their corpses yet?"
Xia Qian asked without thinking about the problem.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness. I was naturally conscientious."
The latter nodded.
"Yes, well done, but we must not be involved in any way. Otherwise, we will be in huge trouble."
"However, it is a pity that Ye Ping was not killed."
He clenched his fists and seemed indignant.
However, before he could finish those words, a figure suddenly appeared in the hall.
"Reporting!"
"Your Highness, we have discovered Ye Ping's whereabouts."
The voice sounded in the hall.
In an instant, Xia Qian sat up with a look of disbelief.
"Where is he?"
He asked anxiously.
"He's in the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty, a scout found that Ye Ping had returned from the King's Territory. There are also clear traces of his appearance in the Great Xia Dynasty."
The other party answered.
In an instant, Xia Qian was extremely excited.
"Excellent!"
"Excellent!"
"Excellent!"
He couldn't help but clench his fist. He looked extremely agitated. After all, his goal was Ye Ping.
Previously, he hadn't found Ye Ping's whereabouts.
But now, he was naturally excited that Ye Ping was within the capital.
However, Xia Qian soon calmed down.
"Pass my orders and have everyone keep close tabs on Ye Ping. Get close to the crown prince of the Great Ze Dynasty too. The capital is full of experts. Don't be rash, but once Ye Ping leaves the capital, kill with all means."
Xia Qian said with determination.
He had already made up his mind.
He didn't dare to harm Ye Ping in the capital because his father was around. Besides, there were Tribulation Transcendence realm powerhouses in the Great Xia Dynasty. He would be discovered as soon as he appeared.
Hence, it was better to go with the safer option and that was to kill Ye Ping silently.
It wouldn't matter if his father guessed that he was the culprit. After all, once Ye Ping died, the Emperor Star would shift and that was all he wanted.
At the same time, in the Heart-Nurturing Palace of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Taishang Xuanji came with good news.
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
"We've found Changyu. We've found Changyu!"

Chapter 264: Reporting! Your Majesty, Lord Xuanji's Illegitimate Son Is Here
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the Heart-Nurturing Palace, the Great Xia Dynasty.
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was seated in the great hall and looking through the memorials.
However, he had been ill at ease for the past few days.
The fact that his biological son had suddenly disappeared made him feel uneasy.
More than twenty years ago, his son had gone missing once and now, he didn't want to lose him again.
Moreover, the memorial on the table made him feel exhausted because such a thing had never happened before.
However, at this moment, various voices sounded, making the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty energized.
"We've found him. We've found him. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Changyu has been found. Changyu has been found."
Taishang Xuanji scurried all the way to the Heart-Nurturing Palace, overwhelmed with joy and excitement.
"Who has been found?"
"Xuanji, who did you say has been found?"
"Have you found Changyu?"
"Where is he? He's no longer in danger, is he?"
Upon hearing this, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty stood up agitatedly and walked towards Taishang Xuanji.
"Your Majesty, congratulations. Your Majesty, congratulations. I've found Changyu."
As soon as Taishang Xuanji walked in, he wanted to kneel to the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty.
However, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty waved his hand and stopped Taishang Xuanji from kneeling to him.
Instead, he asked eagerly, "Where is he? How did you find him?"
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty didn't care about formalities now as he just wanted to know where Su Changyu was and how he had been found.
"Your Majesty, Changyu is now in the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty."
"He had registered his name when he entered the capital and my subordinates informed me about it. I went to take a look and it's indeed Changyu."
Taishang Xuanji suggested.
"Changyu is in the Great Xia Dynasty?"
Hearing this, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was immediately a little surprised as he didn't expect Su Changyu to actually come to the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty of his own accord.
"Yes."
Taishang Xuanji nodded.
"What is he here in the capital for?"
"Could it be that he's already aware of his identity?"
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty got a little nervous. He was curious as to why Su Changyu came to the capital and was worried that Su Changyu might have already found out his identity.
"I… I have no idea."
"According to the subordinates, Changyu seems to…"
Taishang Xuanji hesitated for a moment at this point.
"Just tell me."
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty said in a low voice.
"It seems that Changyu came from the Great Qian Dynasty."
Taishang Xuanji answered.
As soon as he said that, the expression on the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty's face turned a little awful.
Other people might not know why the Great Xia Dynasty didn't have much contact with the Great Qian Dynasty in recent years.
However, the emperor knew how much the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty hated him and it would be an exaggeration to say that they couldn't stand each other but they were definitely not rivals.
Although the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was guilty, he felt that the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty had lots of misconceptions and misunderstandings about him. He didn't know what to say about it and thus the two dynasties had rarely been in contact with each other lately.
After hearing that Su Changyu had come over from the Great Qian Dynasty, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty somehow thought of something.
However, after a while, he shook his head and frowned.
"Xuanji, help me think about it, what can Changyu be here for this time?"
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty didn't want to rack his brains, so he asked Taishang Xuanji about it.
He wanted Taishang Xuanji to guess why Su Changyu had come to the Great Xia Dynasty.
Hearing this, Taishang Xuanji actually understood what the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was worried about. After all, Su Changyu had been wandering outside for more than twenty years, and now that he had found out that he was the Tenth Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, he might have developed some feelings of resentment.
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was worried that there might be a strain on his relationship with his son, although others felt that Su Changyu wouldn't do that.
However, there was nothing Taishang Xuanji could say about it.
Hence, after thinking about it, Taishang Xuanji spoke again.
"Your Majesty, I think Changyu probably just wants to come here and explore, he definitely isn't here to reunite with you."
Taishang Xuanji answered.
However, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty shook his head and looked at Taishang Xuanji with a somber expression.
"Xuanji, let me ask you a question. If Changyu is here this time to reunite with me, what should I do?"
He asked.
No matter what Taishang Xuanji said, he was still a bit anxious.
"If he's really here to reunite with his father, just acknowledge him. You're family after all, some things cannot be hidden."
Taishang Xuanji lowered his head and said so.
He didn't know what to say either and could only go along with the emperor's wishes.
"But if I do that, wouldn't Xia Qian…"
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty mentioned the Crown Prince again.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince probably wouldn't get angry. He's cultivating and nurturing his heart now. Besides, the Crown Prince may be mischievous, but he is not an immoral person and is sensible enough. Don't worry, Your Majesty."
Taishang Xuanji answered.
The reason the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty brought that up to him was because it concerned the Crown Prince.
In fact, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty definitely wanted to reunite with Su Changyu.
However, the problem was that it would lead to an uproar in the imperial court.
He knew that the Crown Prince would not be at ease unless he became the emperor.
That was the reason why the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty had to strike a balance between acknowledging Su Changyu while ensuring that the Crown Prince wouldn't be angry.
"Xuanji, do you mean I should acknowledge Changyu and reunite with him?"
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty continued.
"Your Majesty, it's a good thing to reunite with your son, why are you so conflicted?"
Taishang Xuanji was smart enough to know that it was only a matter of time before the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty and the Tenth Prince acknowledged each other. Hence, he wouldn't refute.
As for the Crown Prince…
He was not at all worried that the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty would strip the Crown Prince off of his title because of the Tenth Prince. After all, the Crown Prince had been holding authority in the imperial palace for years and was in charge of the dynasty's affairs too. Besides, he had been born and bred in the palace.
Even if the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty wanted to make Su Changyu the emperor, the members of the court wouldn't agree to it.
They would only approve if the Crown Prince had committed a heinous crime.
Otherwise, he would be able to ascend to the throne without doing anything.
"Okay, in that case, I will reunite with Changyu. When we finish the matter at hand, I'll let the Crown Prince ascend to the throne so that I can enjoy some quality time with my son."
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty laughed in a pleasant mood.
As soon as he said that, Taishang Xuanji's expression changed, and immediately afterwards, he knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty is wise."
Taishang Xuanji was elated.
He had taken a step back and managed to achieve the outcome of the Crown Prince's advanced succession of the throne.
That was a good thing as there was now a balance between the Tenth Prince and the Crown Prince.
After all, the Crown Prince was set to take the throne, so there was nothing for him to be worried about.
However, at this moment, someone spoke up outside the main hall.
"Reporting! Your Majesty, someone is asking to see you outside the hall, it's Lord Xuanji's servant who said that something has happened to his family."
The eunuch exclaimed.
It broke the silence in the main hall.
As soon as he said that, Taishang Xuanji couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
'Something happened to my family?'
'What happened?'
His eyes were full of curiosity and the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was curious.
'Why did something crop up out of nowhere?'
"What happened?"
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty asked.
"Your Majesty, I heard that a man is here to reunite with his father and he claimed to be Lord Xuanji's illegitimate son."
The eunuch continued
However, after hearing his words, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty and Taishang Xuanji were stunned.
'Illegitimate son?'
'To look for a relative?'
'Huh?'

Chapter 265: Father and Son Reunite
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the main hall.
Both the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty and Taishang Xuanji were clearly bewildered.
In particular, Taishang Xuanji was even more dumbfounded.
'Illegitimate son?'
'When did I ever have an illegitimate son?'
The problem was that he wasn't even aware of that matter.
"Xuanji, when did you have an illegitimate son?"
At this moment, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty couldn't help but look at Taishang Xuanji.
The latter was dumbfounded too.
"Your Majesty, I have never had an illegitimate son, this must be a misunderstanding. Let me get to the bottom of this."
Taishang Xuanji answered.
The emperor nodded and told him to settle the matter.
Without further ado, Taishang Xuanji turned around and left the hall to ask his servant about the matter.
After a while, Taishang Xuanji hurriedly returned to the main hall and looked at the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty with a bitter expression.
"Your Majesty, something major happened."
Taishang Xuanji said with a glum expression.
"Something has happened? What happened?"
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was even more bewildered.
'What happened?'
"Your Majesty, it has something to do with you."
Taishang Xuanji continued to ask bitterly.
"Nonsense!"
"How can it have anything to do with me? Don't accuse me."
In an instant, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty's face turned sullen. 'What does your illegitimate son have to do with me? That's plain nonsense.'
'How can you forcefully put the blame on me?'
"No, no, Your Majesty, you've misunderstood."
"The person who came to see me is Changyu…"
Taishang Xuanji didn't know if he should say it or not.
"Changyu?"
"What is Changyu here to see you for?"
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was a little agitated and also curious because he didn't expect it to be Su Changyu.
He really didn't understand what Su Changyu was doing at Taishang Xuanji's home.
"Your Majesty, Changyu probably misunderstood something and mistakenly thinks that I'm his biological father."
Taishang Xuanji didn't know exactly how to answer.
'How did I encounter such a thing?'
"Um…"
All of a sudden, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was at a loss for words.
"Your Majesty, what should I do?"
Taishang Xuanji asked the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty because he had no idea what he should do. Even if he knew, he could not say it because he would be the one getting punished if things go wrong.
However, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty did not answer.
He paced around in the hall.
A few minutes passed.
Finally, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty took a deep breath and looked at Taishang Xuanji.
"Let's go to your place."
A look of determination appeared in the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty's eyes.
He didn't want to hide anything anymore.
Since Su Changyu was his son, there was no need to hide anymore.
Thinking of this, the gaze in the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty's eyes became more and more determined.
Taishang Xuanji also immediately understood the emperor's intentions.
He didn't say anything more and led the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty to his official residence.
At the same time, at the backyard of Taishang Xuanji's residence.
Su Changyu stood quietly.
Under the peach blossom tree, he looked extraordinarily handsome, and even the most beautiful peach blossoms in the world paled in comparison to him.
However, when Ye Ping stood beside him, he didn't seem inferior at all. The only advantage Su Changyu had over Ye Ping was that his aura was very much like that of an immortal.
On the other hand, Ye Ping was like a Confucian scholar.
Looking at the huge garden, Su Changyu's heart was full of bitterness.
It was exactly as his master guessed.
His biological father was wealthy and powerful. He reckoned that the beautiful residence belonging to his father should be worth at least a few thousand taels of gold.
In the front yard, a few women were weeping miserably.
Taishang Xuanji's lawful wife didn't cry.
It was normal for men of this era to have several wives but she did feel a little upset.
'He actually has an illegitimate son, but he didn't tell me about it. Does he not trust me?'
'What is it?'
However, the ones who cried the most miserably were her daughters.
Taishang Xuanji's wife was baffled.
"Why are you all crying so miserably?"
Taishang Xuanji's wife was really curious about why they were crying even though she wasn't.
"Mother, since this person is father's illegitimate son, doesn't that mean he's related to us by blood? He's so handsome and suave but he's related to us. Of course we'll cry."
"Yes, Mother, when I think of such a handsome man getting snatched away by other women, my heart really aches. It feels as if my heart is shattering."
They were crying in devastation, but the reason for their misery rendered their mother speechless.
However, at this moment, the servant walked over in a hurry.
He exclaimed, "Master is back!"
As his voice sounded, everyone couldn't help but get up in a bid to walk out of the door.
However, the servant added another sentence that made everyone shocked.
"His Majesty is here too."
Everyone immediately fell silent.
"His Majesty is here too?"
"What is His Majesty doing here?"
The crowd was curious, but Taishang Xuanji's wife immediately interjected, "Okay, stop fooling around and let me handle it."
Taishang Xuanji's wife stood up and walked out.
At this moment, Taishang Xuanji and the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty arrived at the residence.
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty walked in front and Taishang Xuanji walked behind.
As soon as they entered the official residence, Taishang Xuanji's wife quickly strode over.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Taishang Xuanji's wife said very respectfully. She had no choice but to be respectful towards the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty.
"Forgo the formality."
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty said indifferently.
Taishang Xuanji hurriedly said, "Milady, some things are hard to explain now. Where is Changyu?"
There were many things that Taishang Xuanji did not want to explain in detail about. After all, he couldn't spread it before the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty announced it to the public.
Since she could become the Chancellor's wife, Taishang Xuanji's wife was naturally intelligent and understood that there must be some other hidden reasons behind this.
Hence, she didn't think much about it or butt in.
Instead, she answered, "Lord, he's in the back garden. I'll have the servants make arrangements."
"Alright. Thank you, Milady."
Taishang Xuanji nodded, but he also signaled for her to leave. She immediately understood and excused herself.
Afterwards, Taishang Xuanji looked at the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty and said, "Your Majesty, now…"
"Let's go."
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty nodded without saying much.
However, deep down, he was quite anxious.
After all, he was worried that Su Changyu wouldn't accept it.
He was also worried that Su Changyu would blame him.
He might be the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty.
However, at the end of the day, he was Su Changyu's father.
Between father and emperor…
The status of a father mattered more.
He could give orders to the world, but he could not order Su Changyu around, especially since they had been separated for so many years during which Su Changyu had suffered lots of hardships.
Soon, they arrived at the back garden.
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty got more and more nervous.
In the end, he even stopped outside the courtyard.
He looked at Taishang Xuanji.
The latter lowered his head without saying anything after sensing the emperor's gaze.
Well, he would avoid talking about it unless necessary.
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty had the final say.
He couldn't tell the emperor what to do. If something happened, he wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.
Looking at Taishang Xuanji, who was hanging his head low, the emperor knew what he was thinking about. After laughing bitterly, he bit the bullet and entered.
When the two stepped inside the back garden…
Su Changyu immediately reacted.
He also immediately sensed that the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty and Taishang Xuanji had appeared.
At this moment, Su Changyu was somehow nervous.
No, he wasn't just nervous.
He was extremely nervous.
At the same time, Su Changyu realized that his bad habit… was about to act up again.

Chapter 266: Recovering His Memory, Old Xia Is My Father?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Taishang Xuanji's residence.
Looking at Taishang Xuanji and the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty who were walking over, Su Changyu felt that his bad habit was about to act up again.
He stayed silent.
He tried his best not to speak.
However, as Taishang Xuanji gradually walked over, Su Changyu finally couldn't help it.
"I understand."
Ye Ping spoke with an indifferent voice.
Su Changyu did not turn around. Instead, he stood under the peach blossom tree and seemed to be admiring the beautiful scenery as he left Taishang Xuanji and the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty to stare at his back.
At this moment, the peach blossom tree shook and the leaves rustled while the peach blossoms scattered all over the sky. The scene was incredibly beautiful.
However, everything seemed to have become lackluster in comparison to Su Changyu who made the beautiful scenery seem dull.
Taishang Xuanji and the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, who had just walked into the garden, were somewhat confused.
'He knows everything?'
'What does he know? Does Changyu know that he's the Tenth Prince?'
They thought of the information they had received earlier and wondered if Su Changyu had found out about his identity during his time in the Great Qian Dynasty.
That was very possible.
However, if that was the case, why did Su Changyu say that he was the illegitimate son of Taishang Xuanji?
In an instant, the two of them guessed that Su Changyu must have been unable to enter the palace to look for the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty since he had the token that Taishang Xuanji had given him back then.
He thought that Taishang Xuanji would definitely report to him when the time came.
After guessing the process of the entire matter, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty wanted to speak, but he was at a loss for what to say.
He had initially already decided not to hide and tell Su Changyu about it, but the fact that Su Changyu said that he had already known about it left him at a loss for words.
Su Changyu was a little confused too as his bad habit that acted up all of a sudden messed up everything that he wanted to say.
However, there was nothing wrong with that.
Daoist Tai Hua had already analyzed it with him and they had both established the fact that he was an illegitimate son who was abandoned by his father, Old Xuan, who also left his mother for the sake of pursuing glory and riches.
He rephrased his words and said that he wanted to sever ties with his father.
"I understand your reasons for doing so, but I can't accept the fact that you've abandoned your wife and child."
"Tell me where my mother is and we'll have nothing to do with each other from now on."
Su Changyu turned around and looked at Taishang Xuanji with a calm gaze.
He was staring at Taishang Xuanji with his starry-like eyes, as if he had seen through him.
Taishang Xuanji was dumbstruck.
'Abandoned my wife and child? Your mother's whereabouts? We'll have nothing to do with each other from now on? What are you talking about?'
'Why don't I understand what you're talking about?'
'Besides, why are you looking at me?'
Taishang Xuanji was a little upset.
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was just as stunned as his expression was sullen.
'What's going on?'
'When did I abandon my wife and son?'
'You're slandering me!'
Su Changyu came from the Great Qian Dynasty and had learned all about it.
'Yes, that must be it.'
'The royals of the Great Qian Dynasty must have met Changyu and recognized him to be the Tenth Prince, the nephew of the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty. They must have told him all about this.'
'However, they didn't tell Su Changyu the truth because of those things they had done. Instead, they twisted the facts to accuse me and make Changyu sever ties with me.'
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was furious but perplexed too.
At this moment, Ye Ping did not say anything and stood quietly at the side.
Before coming, Su Changyu had told him that his father had abandoned him and his mother out of his greed for wealth and glory.
Hence, he was there to make a clean break.
Since Su Changyu was his Senior Brother, he would naturally support him and his decisions.
Taishang Xuanji also knew that Su Changyu must have gotten the wrong idea about something.
Su Changyu even had a double misunderstanding about him. Not only did he think that he was his father, but he also thought that he had abandoned his wife and son.
That made him very embarrassed.
He didn't say anything as he was waiting to see what the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty had to say.
When the latter saw the gaze cast by Taishang Xuanji, he naturally understood what it meant. He smiled bitterly and gestured for Taishang Xuanji to hurry up and explain.
At this point, he really didn't know how to explain it.
He might be the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty.
However, he really didn't know how to talk to Su Changyu about it.
Especially since there were still so many misunderstandings now, he didn't know how he should start explaining.
Taishang Xuanji was rather upset.
'Weren't you very firm just now? Why are you making me do it now?'
However, Taishang Xuanji had no choice but to bite the bullet and look at Su Changyu.
"Changyu, there might be some misunderstanding in this."
"I didn't abandon my wife and son. Besides, I'm not your biological father. Your father is my master."
Taishang Xuanji said while looking at Su Changyu.
Hearing his words, Ye Ping, who was at the side, secretly nodded.
Back then, Su Changyu told him that either Old Xia or Old Xuan was his biological father and Ye Ping immediately felt that it was Old Xia.
It was because Su Changyu looked nothing like Taishang Xuanji, but he resembled the emperor a little.
At that time, he was shocked when Su Changyu told him that his father was Taishang Xuanji.
'Seems like Senior Brother really got mixed up between Old Xia and Old Xuan, but it's good that the misunderstanding has been cleared.'
He did not say anything and simply stood at the side quietly.
Su Changyu looked at Taishang Xuanji with an indifferent expression, but he was feeling a little nervous.
After all, he was about to face his biological father.
However, when he heard Taishang Xuanji's words, he was instantly displeased and stopped feeling nervous.
Su Changyu's thoughts were simple.
'What a lousy father I've got, he doesn't have the guts to own up at all.'
'No wonder he abandoned Mother and I for the sake of wealth back then.'
'Things have already come to this and I've already appeared in front of him and made things so clear. Yet, he still wants to shirk responsibility and push the blame to Old Xia by claiming that Old Xia is my father.'
'Absolutely ridiculous.'
"Are you that irresponsible? Why must you push the blame to Old Xia?"
"I know, I might be making things hard for you, but things have already come to this and I have nothing else to say. I just want you to tell me where my mother is."
Su Changyu said.
His expression was indifferent.
Hearing Su Changyu's words, Taishang Xuanji was a little awkward and speechless.
He didn't know how to explain it.
It was all the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty's fault for making him give those gifts to Su Changyu in his name, causing Su Changyu to misunderstand and take Taishang Xuanji for his father instead. Now, he was at a loss for an explanation.
Seeing this scene, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, who was at the side, couldn't help but chuckle bitterly.
However, he took a deep breath and flicked a beam of golden light towards Su Changyu.
The golden light entered Su Changyu's forehead.
Before Su Changyu could react in time, several memories immediately surfaced in his mind.
The palace.
The hall.
Old Xia's face.
And… a woman's face.
Those were the memories in Su Changyu that were once sealed and now restored by the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Looking at those memories, Su Changyu stood rooted to the ground in shock.
'Huh?'
"Ah… this!"
Su Changyu was dumbfounded.
'I didn't expect that I had gotten the wrong idea.'
This!
'Old Xia is my father?'
'What's going on?'

Chapter 267: Cause And Effect, Su Changyu Is Flustered

In the back garden.
"Are you really my father?"
Su Changyu was a little confused and looked at Old Xia in a bid to find out what was going on.
There were not many memories in his mind and some of the scenes were memories that existed in his subconscious mind.
However, through these memories, he knew that he had indeed gotten the wrong idea.
He seemed to have also misunderstood the fact that he was an illegitimate son, that his father had abandoned him and his mother for the sake of pursuing a life of glory and wealth.
"Changyu, I'm your real father."
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty said while looking at Su Changyu with his eyes full of nervousness.
He no longer called Su Changyu 'little friend' and simply addressed him by his name to make it seem more affectionate.
However, Su Changyu simply asked with an indifferent expression, "What exactly is going on?"
Even though Su Changyu's heart was full of complicated emotions and doubts, he instinctively appeared extremely indifferent.
It was as if acknowledging his father and finding out all about his identity was too insignificant for him to feel any emotion.
Hearing Su Changyu's indifferent tone, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty fell silent. He was a little flustered.
He had been unwilling to bring up the past regarding this matter.
However, now that Su Changyu asked, he naturally could not hide it.
"Are you aware of the fact that the Tenth Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty went missing 27 years ago?"
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty's voice was calm.
Su Changyu nodded slightly with a calm expression.
He actually didn't know about the matter regarding the Tenth Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, but he felt that it would be embarrassing to say that he didn't know at this juncture.
However, after hearing Old Xia's words, he wondered if his identity was related to the Tenth Prince.
"I'm the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty and you're my tenth son. You're the Tenth Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty who went missing."
"As for the whereabouts of your mother… Someone put a curse on your mother when she was pregnant with you, which caused her to die once she gave birth to you."
"So, your mother died the moment after she saw that you were born safely."
"She told me to take good care of you and raise you well."
"However, only one day later, a supreme expert of the Mahayana realm, who had been lurking in the palace, took the opportunity to take you away."
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty spoke slowly, his voice full of melancholy.
He had been unwilling to recall that portion of his past, and whenever he did, he would feel an ache in his heart.
In a short time, his son was born, but the woman he loved the most had left him. He showered his son with all the love he had to offer and yet, his son was snatched away.
"Changyu, I've been sending people to search for you for a total of 27 years, but you were nowhere to be found."
"Finally, I met you when I was in Chen Nation with Xuanji."
"The first time I saw you, I felt that you were my son."
"However, I didn't dare to acknowledge you because of some reasons."
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty continued to speak.
He didn't bother explaining why he did not reunite with Su Changyu at that time.
He knew that Su Changyu was his son but the fact that he had been stranded out there in the world of commoners for 27 years made him too scared to reunite with Su Changyu.
He was afraid that the sudden acknowledgment would make Su Changyu find it hard to accept and unable to accept his father.
As the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, he was so afraid that he didn't dare to acknowledge him.
In an instant, Su Changyu froze in shock.
Previously, he had always thought his father was Taishang Xuanji, who had abandoned him and his mother because of his pursuit for glory and riches. Hence, he thought of severing ties with him.
Even if Taishang Xuanji was replaced by Old Xia, it would be the same.
However, he did not expect that he was not an illegitimate son, but the Tenth Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty.
His father wasn't a greedy person either. He didn't abandon him and his mother, but rather, his mother died after giving birth to him.
He couldn't quite accept that information for a while.
At the same time, he thought of what happened when he was in the Great Qian Dynasty, as well as why the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty and Empress Chu Rouyun treated him so nicely.
At that time, Su Changyu thought it was because he was handsome, but now, he understood.
It was because of his identity.
At that time, Chu Rouyun recognized him, so she asked him to address her as his aunt.
He addressed the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty as his uncle too.
However, neither of them told him anything about his identity.
Ye Ping, who was standing at the side, was a little dumbfounded too.
He did not expect that his Eldest Senior Brother was the legendary Tenth Prince.
Compared to Su Changyu, he had at least gone out around and heard many rumors about the Tenth Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty.
'The prince has been by my side all this while?'
Looking at the silent Su Changyu, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was extremely nervous.
"Changyu, I let you and your mother down. I'm so sorry to have let you suffer all these years."
"What I owe you, I will make up for it. I will agree to all your requests and give you whatever you want."
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty continued to speak, his tone and gaze full of nervousness.
He didn't know how to face Su Changyu and he promised to agree to Su Changyu's requests because he hoped that Su Changyu would accept him.
Su Changyu remained silent with an indifferent expression.
His heart was in turmoil and the information was hard for him to accept and digest.
When Daoist Tai Hua told him previously that he might have been an intermediate, Su Changyu felt upset for a long time.
However, after all that the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty had told him, he couldn't accept it at all.
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty looked at Su Changyu in a bid to continue speaking but to no avail.
As the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, he didn't know what to do in this situation.
For a moment, everyone was silent.
After a moment of silence, Ye Ping spoke up, "Eldest Senior Brother, why don't we stay here for a while until you have calmed down?"
Ye Ping suggested.
He knew that Su Changyu must be feeling complicated emotions now.
After all, anyone would be dumbstruck in such a situation.
"Yes, yes. Changyu, why don't you calm down first?"
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty hurriedly said after hearing those words.
He felt that he was being a little anxious because he couldn't be impatient in such a situation.
If he was flustered too, there was no way Su Changyu could accept that matter.
Su Changyu nodded and assented indifferently.
He needed some time to digest this information.
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty immediately arranged for someone to take Su Changyu and Ye Ping to the palace to rest.
After Su Changyu and Ye Ping got into the carriage, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty asked Taishang Xuanji about it.
"Xuanji, what do you think, will Changyu accept me?"
His tone was a little somber, and deep down, he was really anxious and ill at ease.
"I believe that Little Friend Changyu will definitely accept you."
Taishang Xuanji lowered his head and said so.
In this situation, there was nothing else he could say. He could only say what the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty wanted to hear.
Looking at Taishang Xuanji's appearance, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty obviously knew what he meant, but he merely smiled bitterly.
Taishang Xuanji's residence was near the palace, so Su Changyu and Ye Ping soon arrived at the palace and had their accommodation arranged.
"Lords, if you have any orders, feel free to call me."
The eunuch who brought them here said respectfully.
He was the eunuch who served the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty at all times. Previously, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty instructed him to serve Su Changyu and Ye Ping well, and to fulfill all their requests. If there was anything that could not be fulfilled, he would have to report to the emperor.
Since he could become the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty's personal bodyguard, he was naturally good at observing the situation. It was the first time he had seen the emperor being so solemn, so he was naturally very respectful.
"Thank you."
Ye Ping nodded.
"Senior Brother Changyu, are you alright?"
Ye Ping looked at Su Changyu's expression and said with concern.
Although Su Changyu's expression was usually indifferent just like now, Ye Ping could tell that there were subtle changes after having interacted with Su Changyu for such a long time.
Ever since he joined the Qingyun Dao Sect, Su Changyu had been very nice and caring towards him. Su Changyu devoted his heart and soul to teaching Ye Ping, so he was very concerned now.
"Ye Ping, I'm fine, I just can't accept this fact for a while. I will be okay after some time."
Su Changyu shook his head and said.
Previously, he thought that his father had abandoned him and his mother, so he was there to make a closure. He had come mentally prepared.
However, he didn't expect it to be completely different from what he originally imagined.
"Okay, Senior Brother, rest well. No matter what choice you make, I will always support you."
Ye Ping nodded and said.
Su Changyu's heart was filled with a warm and fuzzy feeling as he nodded.
Ye Ping did not bother Su Changyu and simply went to his room to rest.
He stayed in the room.
He suddenly thought of someone, and that was Xia Qingmo, the Tenth Princess of the Great Xia Dynasty.
The last time they parted, he said that he would go to the palace of the Great Xia Dynasty to look for her, but now that he was there and he had nothing to do, he would naturally go see her.
Ye Ping immediately walked out of the palace and asked the eunuch waiting outside where Xia Qingmo was.
"Your Excellency, Her Highness resides in Green Phoenix Hall."
When the eunuch saw Ye Ping, he immediately informed Ye Ping where Xia Qingmo was and even took the initiative to find someone to take Ye Ping there.
If it was an ordinary person, he definitely wouldn't be allowed to wander around the palace on his own.
Not to mention, he was a man who was going to see the princess.
However, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty had personally instructed the eunuch to serve Su Changyu and Ye Ping well and to agree to any request they made.
"Thank you."
Ye Ping nodded.
A guard walked over and brought Ye Ping to the Green Phoenix Hall.
There were array formation restrictions that prohibited flying in the palace. Ye Ping's place of accommodation was a little far from Xia Qingmo's residence, so he spent about half an hour walking there.
Upon arriving at Green Phoenix Hall, someone immediately went to inform her.
"Princess Qingmo, it's been long since we last met."
Ye Ping looked at Xia Qingmo, who came out, with a gentle smile on his face.
"What brings you here, Senior Brother Ye Ping?"
Xia Qingmo walked out of the hall and seemed overjoyed to see Ye Ping. She was surprised too.
When she heard the maid's report, she was in disbelief.
"I'm here at the palace because Senior Brother Changyu has some things to handle."
Ye Ping said.
"Senior Brother Changyu? What happened to him?"
Xia Qingmo was a little curious.
"Just some personal matters. How have you been lately?"
Ye Ping shook his head without answering her question.
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was Su Changyu's father, which meant that Xia Qingmo was Su Changyu's younger sister. However, since Su Changyu had yet to make a decision, Ye Ping naturally wouldn't tell others about it.

Chapter 268: Xia Qingmo Is Going To Get Married? Looking for Eldest Senior Brother For Help
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In front of the Green Phoenix Hall.
Hearing Ye Ping's words, Xia Qingmo knew that he didn't want to elaborate further, so she didn't ask much.
She knew that Ye Ping's Eldest Senior Brother, Su Changyu, was a supreme Sword Immortal and hence, his matter must be of great importance.
When she heard Ye Ping ask about her situation, Xia Qingmo's heart sank a little.
"I've been fine lately. Whenever I'm bored, I'll look at the paintings you gave me."
Xia Qingmo answered with a faint smile.
She then continued to speak.
"Senior Brother Ye Ping, since you're here, I'll take you for a walk in the palace."
Xia Qingmo did not invite Ye Ping to her bedchamber.
In the palace, she wasn't favored and often felt lonely too. There was nothing she could use to entertain Ye Ping either.
In addition, she was now about to get married, and if she invited Ye Ping to her bedchamber, the palace maids would certainly report to the Crown Prince. They might even cause unnecessary trouble for Ye Ping.
"Alright."
Ye Ping nodded and said.
Sitting together for a chat would be too boring, so she thought that they might as well go out for a walk.
Both of them walked side by side.
Xia Qingmo was very familiar with the palace. She took Ye Ping on a tour around the palace and along the way, they admired the beautiful scenery while Xia Qingmo continuously explained to Ye Ping about some interesting things.
The palace of the Great Xia Dynasty was massive and extraordinary.
It was worlds apart from the palace of Jin Nation.
At this moment, someone interrupted, "Princess Qingmo, what are you doing here? Your wedding gown has been prepared, please go try it on and see if it fits and if there's anything you're not satisfied with."
An old palace maid immediately stepped forward and said to Xia Qingmo when she saw her and Ye Ping strolling around the palace.
Xia Qingmo, who was initially smiling, had her face turn sullen as she gritted her teeth.
A moment later, she said calmly, "I still have something to handle, I'll try it on another day."
Xia Qingmo said.
"Princess Qingmo, you must decide on your wedding gown today. Please come with me."
The old palace maid said to Xia Qingmo without much respect in her tone.
Xia Qingmo was the least favored princess in the Great Xia Dynasty.
Although the servants didn't dare to insult her, they only showed her basic respect and nothing more.
"Wait for me to send my friend back."
Xia Qingmo said indifferently before looking at Ye Ping.
"Senior Brother Ye Ping, I have some things to do now, I'm afraid I can't accompany you anymore. Where do you live? I'll send you back."
Xia Qingmo said, forcing herself to smile.
Ye Ping nodded. Since Xia Qingmo had something to do, he naturally wouldn't continue wandering around the palace on his own.
"Wedding gown? Princess Qingmo, are you getting married?"
Ye Ping asked.
He didn't expect that Princess Qingmo was going to get married after he hadn't seen her for such a long period of time.
Hearing Ye Ping's question, Xia Qingmo somehow felt her heart ache a little as an indescribable emotion arose within it.
When she first met Ye Ping, he was like a hero who saved her, the damsel in distress. Hence, Xia Qingmo felt extremely grateful.
Afterwards, she gradually developed some feelings for him in the Qingyun Dao Sect.
When she was about to leave the Qingyun Dao Sect, she learned that Ye Ping was Householder Qing Lian, the poet whom she had always been a fan of. At that time, Xia Qingmo couldn't help but develop some affection for him.
After returning to the palace, she continued to live her life in boredom as usual, but when she looked at the paintings that Ye Ping gave her, as well as her collection of poems by Householder Qing Lian, her feelings for him grew stronger.
However, Xia Qingmo knew that it was impossible for her and Ye Ping to be together.
Regardless of whether Ye Ping liked her or not, she had a marriage arranged for her, and she didn't have a choice at all.
Hence, she was over the moon when Ye Ping came to visit her today because she knew that she didn't have much time left to spend with him. Hence, she treated it as their last meeting.
The reason being, after she married into the Great Ze Dynasty, she would no longer get to have any more interactions with Ye Ping.
However, after Ye Ping knew that she was going to get married and asked her about it, Xia Qingmo stayed silent because she didn't know how to answer him.
"What's the matter? Why do you suddenly look so displeased?"
When Ye Ping saw Xia Qingmo's expression, he couldn't help but show her some concern. 'Why did Xia Qingmo immediately look sad at the mention of this matter?'
Ye Ping immediately had a conjecture.
When the marquis of the Great Xia Dynasty came to the Qingyun Dao Sect to bring Xia Qingmo away, everyone felt that Xia Qingmo wasn't favored in the palace.
At that time, his second Senior Brother, Xu Luochen, also sighed and lamented that the royal family was extremely cruel. An unfavored princess like Xia Qingmo was sent to be in an arranged marriage.
"Senior Brother Ye Ping, I'm fine."
Xia Qingmo explained while forcing herself to smile.
She continued to say, "In a while, I'll leave the Great Xia Dynasty to marry the third prince of the Great Xia Dynasty. I can't bear to leave this place."
Although Xia Qingmo tried to look as indifferent as she could, she was obviously melancholic.
Ye Ping immediately secretly thought to himself that Xu Luochen had guessed correctly.
"Princess Qingmo, are you not willing to marry the third prince of the Great Ze Dynasty?"
Ye Ping asked.
Xia Qingmo was one of his very few friends, so if he could help her when she was faced with a difficult situation, he would naturally try his best to help.
Seeing how glum and melancholic Xia Qingmo was, he knew that she definitely wasn't willing to get married.
That was very normal. Anyone who was being forced into a marriage alliance would naturally be displeased.
Besides, she was being made to marry into another nation.
Ye Ping had also heard that the princesses who married princes of another nation would lead lives that were even more miserable than concubines.
Xia Qingmo was silent.
She was naturally unwilling to accept it, but she didn't have a choice at all.
However, there was nothing she could do even though she was reluctant.
She knew that Ye Ping was concerned about her and hence wanted to help her, but even if she told him about it, there was nothing he could do.
Xia Qingmo still remembered what the Crown Prince said to her after she returned to the palace.
If the Crown Prince found out that Ye Ping wanted to help her, it would definitely lead to greater trouble.
Looking at Xia Qingmo's behavior, Ye Ping already knew of the outcome even though she refused to say anything.
However, he wondered how he could help Xia Qingmo solve the problem.
After all, it concerned the marriage alliance between the Great Xia Dynasty and the Great Ze Dynasty and there was nothing he could do to help.
He reckoned that only the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty would be able to change such a matter.
'Emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty?'
Ye Ping's heart skipped a beat and he wondered if he should seek help from Su Changyu.
Xia Qingmo was not only his friend but also the close friend of everyone in the Qingyun Dao Sect. There was no way Su Changyu would leave Xia Qingmo in the lurch.
Ye Ping thought that Su Changyu should be able to put in a word for her in front of the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty.
"Princess Qingmo, I will just go back by myself, since you are not willing to get married, I'll help you."
Ye Ping said, looking at Xia Qingmo.
Xia Qingmo was stunned. Looking at Ye Ping, her heart suddenly raced and the melancholy on her beautiful face was soon replaced by a heartfelt smile.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Ye Ping."
Xia Qingmo thanked Ye Ping.
Previously, she didn't want to let Ye Ping know about it, but now, she did not turn him down.
"We're friends, and friends should help each other when in need."
Ye Ping said with a faint smile.
He decided that he would go straight back to tell Su Changyu about it and see if he was willing to help.
If all else failed, he would try and come up with another solution.
