87: Chapter 87: Emperor Fuyou surrenders

Inside the Inner City of Prison City, in the Emperor Fuyou's territory, Jiang Xuan and others arrived at the main hall.

The Emperor Fuyou slowly opened his eyes, stood up from his seat, glanced at Jiang Xuan, then said to a few people next to him, "You all may leave first."

The few people, as if granted a great pardon, hurriedly bowed and retreated, secretly relieved that their lord had not blamed them.

Jiang Xuan was a little surprised; he had thought those few would surely die. He didn't expect the third-ranked villain to be lenient with his subordinates.

The Emperor Fuyou came before Jiang Xuan. From the moment Jiang Xuan and his companions entered his territory, he had already known of their arrival and deliberately did not obstruct them. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy for Jiang Xuan to see him.

The Emperor Fuyou's expression was cold, and he said darkly, "Jiang Xuan, I've heard of you. You've only been here a few days, and you've already started a massacre in the Outer City. Everyone on the list died by your hand. What, now you've come to the Inner City to make a move against This Emperor?"

He didn't know why Jiang Xuan came to find him. If it was to deal with the top ten villains, he should have started from the ninth. Was this looking down on him?

Jiang Xuan shook his head, his expression calm, not showing any fear due to the other party's identity.

"I came to ask you for something."

Upon hearing this, the Emperor Fuyou almost burst out laughing. "Ask for something? Jiang Xuan, who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have? And why should This Emperor give it to you?"

After speaking, the Emperor Fuyou couldn't help but sneer in his heart, "Hmph, a reckless young man. If it weren't for your connection with the City Lord, you wouldn't even have the right to see me!"

Jiang Xuan did not answer. Spiritual Qi began to surge around him, and a bloody killing intent emerged from behind him. He knew it wouldn't be that easy, so he stopped wasting words. Sometimes, Wu Li was the best way to solve problems.

Seeing this, the Emperor Fuyou was furious. Even a clay figure has a temper. Did he really think This Emperor was afraid of him?

He planned to teach Jiang Xuan a good lesson, to let him know that the Inner City was not a place where a mere Cultivator of the Sealed King realm could act wildly!

Of course, he didn't dare to kill him. If that person flared up, he wouldn't be able to handle it.

"Jiang Xuan, this is not a place where you can be presumptuous!"

After the Emperor Fuyou finished speaking, his Emperor's aura was released, several times stronger than that of the Emperor Yin Shi.

Just then, a lazy voice sounded from outside the main hall. Both were startled and simultaneously retracted their spiritual power.

"Fu You, you don't even come out to greet This City Lord when she arrives?"

Xuan Yuan Jin Xue appeared in the main hall with her hands behind her back, her proud figure on display.

Cold sweat broke out on the Emperor Fuyou's forehead. He hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully bowed, "City Lord."

Xuan Yuan Jin Xue nodded slightly, revealing her fair neck. Then she looked at Jiang Xuan, who was standing nearby, and teased, "Oh, isn't this the rich Pretty Boy? You're here too."

Jiang Xuan was speechless, constantly reminding himself in his heart, 'I can't beat her for now, endure it.'

Then he forced a smile on his face, "Greetings, Senior Xuan Yuan."

Xuan Yuan Jin Xue's expression was playful. Seeing Jiang Xuan's reaction, she found it amusing and stopped teasing the young man. She asked him, "What do you want to take from Fu You?"

Upon her question, Jiang Xuan went straight to the point, "The Lanyue Sect's supreme treasure, the azure wood pearl."

The Emperor Fuyou's expression turned grim, and a hint of hostility appeared in his eyes as he looked at Jiang Xuan. "Are you also from the Lanyue Sect, helping your Sect retrieve the azure wood pearl?"

Xuan Yuan Jin Xue's brows also furrowed, seemingly quite displeased with the Lanyue Sect.

Seeing their expressions, Jiang Xuan knew they had misunderstood his identity and explained, "I am not from the Lanyue Sect. I only want the azure wood pearl because it is useful to me."

After speaking, he handed them an identity token, "This Young Master is Jiang Xuan, the Tenth Sequence of the Supreme Beginning Holy Land in Barren State."

The Emperor Fuyou took the identity token, his expression one of shock. This young man was actually a Sequence Disciple of the Supreme Beginning Holy Land.

The name of the Supreme Beginning Holy Land was far greater than that of the Lanyue Sect. Although it had declined, a starved camel was still bigger than a horse, and it was not something the Lanyue Sect could provoke.

The Emperor Fuyou secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the hostility in his eyes diminishing considerably. Xuan Yuan Jin Xue, who was beside him, relaxed her brows and muttered to herself, "Supreme Beginning Holy Land, huh? Perhaps this is fate?"

Thinking of this, she asked the Emperor Fuyou, her tone leaving no room for refusal, "Fu You, what do you think?"

The Emperor Fuyou was indifferent. He had only snatched the azure wood pearl to spite the Lanyue Sect and relieve his hatred. This treasure was useless to him, so he might as well do a favor.

On one hand, because Jiang Xuan's talent was outstanding and he was a Holy Land Sequence, he might be able to help him in the future. Furthermore, he dared not disobey the City Lord's command.

Thinking this, he took out an exquisite box from his storage ring and handed it to Jiang Xuan, "This is the azure wood pearl."

Jiang Xuan took it and opened the box. A pearl glowing green was quietly lying inside. Pure life energy and wood-attribute power instantly emanated, and the five elements emperor bone in his body also stirred, eager to devour the azure wood pearl.

Jiang Xuan was overjoyed. It was indeed useful for the Emperor Bone. He quickly closed the box to prevent the energy from dissipating.

Then he cupped his hands and said to the Emperor Fuyou, "Thank you. I owe you a favor for this."

Although Jiang Xuan could have taken the pearl by force, Xuan Yuan Jin Xue seemed unwilling to see the two fight, otherwise, she wouldn't have appeared here.

Hearing Jiang Xuan's words, the Emperor Fuyou was secretly delighted. He was waiting for that very sentence.

He decided not to hide anything anymore. Since he had placed his hope on the other party, he would trust Jiang Xuan absolutely. "Jiang Xuan, actually, there's more than just this one pearl."

Hearing this, Jiang Xuan looked up at Fu You, "More than one?"

"Yes, the full name of this pearl is the Azure Wood Twin Pearls. The one in your hand is only one of them; another one is still in the Lanyue Sect."

"This treasure can only exert its maximum effect when they are fused together."

After hearing the Emperor Fuyou's words, Jiang Xuan looked at him thoughtfully, "You're saying all this not just to tell me the whereabouts of the other pearl, are you?"

The Emperor Fuyou nodded, his eyes filled with deep-seated hatred. "The Lanyue Sect, though outwardly Righteous Path Cultivators, in reality, commits heinous acts, even worse than the Demon Race!"

"The Azure Wood Twin Pearls were treasures passed down through generations in my clan. However, a person without guilt becomes guilty because of their treasure. A Saint from the Lanyue Sect learned of this."

"If they had merely stolen the treasure, it would have been one thing. But those beasts from the Lanyue Sect, in order to enhance the life force of the pearls and extend their own lifespans, actually ordered the extraction of vital blood from everyone in my entire clan, as well as tens of millions of people under our jurisdiction, to nourish the azure wood pearl!"

"A city of tens of millions of people became a dead city overnight. I wasn't in the clan at the time, which is how I escaped. Later, I continuously ambushed and killed Lanyue Sect Disciples, which led to me being hunted down and forced into Prison City."

At this point, the Emperor Fuyou's eyes had turned bloodshot. "Jiang Xuan, I ask for nothing else. I only ask that when you have the ability to enter the Lanyue Sect, you completely eradicate such a monstrous Sect."

"If you can agree, This Emperor Fuyou is willing to swear a Heavenly Dao Oath, to be your slave and servant for all eternity!"

Jiang Xuan's expression changed slightly. A Heavenly Dao Oath, once sworn, could not be changed. If violated, one's Dao would perish, and they would not enter Reincarnation.

Looking at the Emperor Fuyou before him, Jiang Xuan thought of his own Family. This was the reason he constantly improved his strength!

Seeing Jiang Xuan remain silent for a long time, the Emperor Fuyou couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He couldn't get out himself, so he could only place his hope on Jiang Xuan.

After a long while, Jiang Xuan spoke, "You're so confident that I can get out of Prison City?"

After a pause, the Emperor Fuyou said firmly, "I believe!"

He was willing to take a gamble. From Jiang Xuan's various actions, this young man was definitely not simple. Moreover, the Emperor Fuyou glanced at Xuan Yuan Jin Xue beside him; he trusted the Saint's judgment.

Hearing his answer, Jiang Xuan smiled and said, "In that case, I will agree to your request. Consider it returning your favor, however..."

Jiang Xuan's face showed a hint of mystery, "It won't be me alone, but you yourself will get your revenge!"

"And after this matter, you must swear a Heavenly Dao Oath to serve my Jiang Family for the rest of your life!"
