Sovereign Realm
"A genius who is older than Wudao?
Furthermore, he didn't show off in the past? "
Emperor Qing narrowed his eyes as he muttered to himself. A trace of suspicion surfaced in his heart. He suspected that the person who had killed Huangfu Wudao and the imperial guards was Zhuowen.
Although the appearance of the young man described by Heavenly Venerate Bai Mei was completely different from Zhuowen, Emperor Qing knew that if Qing Xuan Empire really had such a terrifying genius, it was impossible for him not to know.
Coupled with what Aoki had said previously about Zhuowen's traces in Muqin County, Emperor Qing was even more certain that the young man with the bloody spear was Zhuowen.
"He's growing so fast!
He can even kill a Golden Venerate like Li Jin. Zhuowen must have obtained some sort of secret in the Dragon Vein. I must capture him. "Emperor Qing's eyes were blazing as he thought to himself.
The white-brow celestial exalt was rather uneasy. He stared at the Azure Emperor in surprise and doubt and said softly, "Your majesty, why don't I lead the imperial army to search the entire imperial capital? I swear I will capture that damned young man."
Emperor Qing shook his head and said, "There's no need!
If I'm not wrong, the young man with the bloody spear should be the Zhuowen we're looking for. "
Heavenly Venerate Bai Mei and the other four Heavenly Venerates' eyes flickered as they revealed a strange look. They had naturally heard of Zhuowen.
That was because the Cyan Emperor had summoned them for the sake of the younger generation called Zhuo Wen. Moreover, what surprised them even more was that the Cyan Emperor actually planned to have the five of them guard the imperial prison for the sake of Zhuo Wen.
Just for a junior, the five Heavenly Venerates actually had to guard the imperial city's dungeon at the same time. In the beginning, they had thought that Emperor Qing was making a mountain out of a molehill. Now, they realized that Zhuowen was indeed quite capable as he had actually escaped from Heavenly Venerate Bai Mei.
Even so, they didn't really care about Zhuowen. After all, Heavenly Venerate Whitebrow had been able to put Zhuowen in such a miserable state. Furthermore, Heavenly Venerate Whitebrow was the weakest among the five Heavenly Venerates. Hence, it was indeed a little excessive for the five of them to guard together.
"Don't underestimate that Zhuowen. According to Empyrean Whitebrow's description, that Zhuowen might have a secret technique that can change his appearance and aura, so we can't be careless."
"And Prince Aoki also plans to invite the two Grand Elders of the Blue Dragon Hall to guard the Imperial City's underground prison with the five of you. This time, after Zhuowen walks into the trap, we must capture him completely. But remember, you must capture him alive. If any of you kill Zhuowen, you will be buried with him."
At this point, Emperor Qing's voice became extremely cold. A terrifying pressure faintly flowed out from his body, causing the faces of the five Heavenly Venerates to change slightly.
At this moment, the five Heavenly Venerates were truly shocked. Even the Hall Master of the Blue Dragon Hall, Aoki, and the two Grand Elders actually wanted to guard the imperial city's underground prison with them.
Eight Heavenly Venerates joining forces to guard the imperial city's underground prison just for a junior whose cultivation was only in the Xuanzun Realm. Wasn't this too terrifying?
Especially when they felt the faintly discernible and powerful coldness from the Azure Emperor, the five Celestial Venerables all had solemn expressions. They could completely feel that the Azure Emperor valued Zhuo Wen to a degree that far exceeded their expectations.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty!
With us eight Heavenly Venerates here, even if a fly enters the imperial city's underground prison, we can make it unable to return, let alone Zhuowen, "the five Heavenly Venerates said cautiously.
"Yes!
You guys go to the imperial city's underground prison first. Zhuowen will probably receive news that Lü Hantian is imprisoned in the underground prison very soon. It won't be long before he will walk right into the trap, "Emperor Qing nodded and said with a wave of his sleeve.
The five Heavenly Venerates respectfully cupped their hands and bowed. Soon after, they slowly left the hall. Soon, only Emperor Qing's figure was left in the hall.
Emperor Qing stood silently in the hall with a deep gaze. No one knew what he was thinking at this moment.
Huangfu Wudao was the next successor that Emperor Qing had personally promoted. Emperor Qing had cultivated Huangfu Wudao with great care, while Li Jin and the Imperial Guards were his personal guards. They were his usual left and right hands.
However, Emperor Qing's eyes did not reveal the slightest bit of anger when he heard that Huangfu Wudao and the Imperial Guards had been killed by Zhuowen. In other words, Emperor Qing did not care at all.
"Zhuowen!
You won't be able to escape. Whether it is the Dragon Soul in your body or the secret of the Dragon Vein, you will spit it all out. "
An indifferent voice rang out in the hall. Soon after, Emperor Qing's figure disappeared into the shadows of the hall.
Emperor Qing clearly knew that the imperial city's underground prison, which was guarded by eight Heavenly Venerates, was like an airtight moat. No matter who broke into the underground prison, it was impossible to escape.
He was very confident that Zhuowen would definitely overestimate himself and break into the imperial city's underground prison for Lü Hantian. Even if it was a trap that Emperor Qing had set for him, Zhuowen would still risk his life and fall into it.
This was because he clearly knew that regardless of whether it was Zhuowen or Lü Hantian, they were both people who valued relationships. Since they were people who valued relationships, they would have a weakness. If he could grasp this weakness, he, Emperor Qing, would be in an invincible position …
Three days quickly passed. When the first ray of sunlight shone down on the morning of the third day, Zhuowen, who was silently sitting cross-legged on a praying mat, slowly opened his eyes.
Boom!
A thunder-like sound burst out from his body. An extremely terrifying aura spread and swept across the entire space. It actually caused countless vortexes to appear and fill the entire space.
At this moment, Zhuowen's eyes were shining like stars in the night sky. There was an extremely rich joy in them.
"I have broken through. I have finally broken through from the peak of the Xuanzun Realm to the Sovereign Realm!"
Slowly getting up, Zhuowen stretched his muscles and bones. He could clearly feel that the strength in his body had become stronger.
After advancing to the Sovereign Realm, Zhuowen's strength had increased by at least several times. If he were to meet Heavenly Venerate White-brow again, although he would still be no match for him, at least Zhuowen would not be chased by White-brow Heavenly Venerate like last time.
After pushing open the door, Zhuowen called Elder Shiyuan and Moyan Wushang, who were staying in the other two rooms, out. Elder Shiyuan and Moyan Wushang were surprised that Zhuowen had broken through so quickly. However, they were not too surprised.
They had seen Zhuowen's talent. In addition, Zhuowen was a descendant of the Ryūka who possessed the Dragon Soul. He had a unique and powerful talent. Hence, they felt that it was reasonable for Zhuowen to advance.
After the three of them discussed the rescue mission, they decided to take action tonight. The plan was very simple. That was to let Zhuowen be the vanguard and sneak into the Imperial City Dungeon to wait for an opportunity to take action.
After stirring up the situation in the Imperial City Dungeon, they would take advantage of the chaos to rescue Lü Hantian and Moyan Wushang. Elder Shiyuan and Moyan Wushang would be waiting outside the dungeon.
After the discussion, the three of them went back to make preparations to deal with the rescue mission tonight.
A day passed quickly. Night slowly fell. The land that was originally shining brightly was now shrouded in darkness. Only the twinkling stars provided a weak light.
Pitter patter patter!
The rain fell slowly from the sky. It was getting heavier and heavier. The sound of the rain was like thunder, resounding throughout the land. It was so mighty.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!
In this heavy and rainy night, three figures silently flew towards the northwest of the Imperial Capital. Their movements were very light and careful. Wherever they passed, they did not attract anyone's attention at all.
Very soon, the three figures arrived at the wasteland in the northwest. The three of them silently curled up in a thicket several dozen meters away from the fake mountain at the center of the wasteland. They stared at the fake mountain several dozen kilometers away.
At this moment, the rain was pouring down and the sound of the rain could be heard everywhere. However, outside the wasteland, there were still groups of soldiers in armor. They were tirelessly patrolling and were not affected by the sound of the rain at all.
The three people hiding in the bushes were naturally Zhuowen, Elder Shiyuan and Moyan Wushang. At this moment, the three of them looked dignified.
They could clearly feel that the security around the wasteland was much stricter than usual.
"Zhuowen, the Imperial City Dungeon is now heavily guarded. If you want to sneak in, I'm afraid it will be much more difficult than usual." Elder Shiyuan said with a dignified look.
Zhuowen had also expected this problem. He said to Elder Shiyuan, "If you want to sneak in, you have to disguise yourself as one of the patrolling soldiers."
"I'm afraid that ordinary soldiers are not qualified to enter the dungeon. If you want to disguise yourself, you have to disguise yourself as the commander of the soldiers."
Elder Shiyuan pondered for a moment and continued, "I'll follow you to the wasteland. Let's capture the commander of the soldiers first."
Zhuowen nodded and silently walked toward the wasteland with Elder Shiyuan. With their cultivation, it was a piece of cake for them to not attract the attention of the patrolling soldiers around the wasteland.
After a while, the two of them hid in a dark corner around the wasteland when the patrolling soldiers were not paying attention.
As it was a rainy night and the corner that the two of them had chosen was very remote, it was like a blind spot. The soldiers who passed by could not see the two of them hiding in the corner.
"Just now, I used my mental strength to check. There are a total of 75 patrolling soldiers scattered around the wasteland. The distance between each team is 85 meters. What we need to do now is to wait for the best opportunity!" Elder Shiyuan said to Zhuowen through telepathy.
Zhuowen nodded. The two of them stood in the corner of the wasteland and waited silently.
After a while, a team slowly passed by the corner where Zhuowen and Elder Shiyuan were.
Ding dong!
The sound of a stone falling to the ground suddenly rang out, causing the team to stop. Immediately, the leader of the team squinted his eyes and silently stared at the corner where the sound came from.
"Who is there?" The leader of the soldiers asked coldly.
