91: Someone from the Soul-Slaying Dynasty is coming! Xiaoyaozi has arrived!
One more day.
Only two days remained until the Great Xia Emperor’s Five Heavenly Decline period.
At the same time, at the northern city gate of the Imperial City.
After entering the city gate, two elderly men dressed in simple long robes looked towards the end of the street.
It was as if they had passed through countless buildings, seen through the imperial palace, and peered at the mountain standing at the end of the imperial palace, the Imperial Ancestral Mountain!
“What a pity.”
“Such a beautiful scene will turn into nothingness in two days.”
One of the two elderly men, at this moment, his gaze seemed to penetrate endless space from the city gate, taking in the entire Imperial Ancestral Mountain within the imperial palace!
“Let’s go.”
“That person is probably already waiting for us,” the other elderly man said expressionlessly.
“Go.”
In an instant, the figures of the two silently disappeared from the street.
… … … … …
Misty Rain Tower.
Xu Nian was currently sitting on a chair, looking at some collected intelligence information.
Suddenly, a supervisor Elder hurried in and handed him a message: “Lord Xu, this is the latest important news.”
“Please take a look.”
Xu Nian took it and opened it.
Immediately, his brows raised: “The people from Zhanling Dynasty have actually arrived.”
“Two King-Sealed experts at once…”
“Now, the Great Xia Dynasty is truly in crisis.”
The supervisor at this time interjected: “My Lord, as one of the Ten Great Dynasties in the Hundred Dynasty Land, the only thing in the entire Great Xia Dynasty that could interest the Zhanling Dynasty, I think, is that national seal that suppresses the Ten-Eyed Heavenly Demon.”
Xu Nian knew the purpose of the two King-Sealed experts from Zhanling Dynasty coming to the Imperial City.
And their arrival at this time clearly indicated that someone in the Imperial City had tipped them off.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to arrive so coincidentally.
“There is an unwritten rule in the Hundred Dynasty Land.”
“The Ten Great Dynasties, as the ten strongest Imperial Dynasties in the Hundred Dynasty Land, shall not interfere with the internal affairs of other Imperial Dynasties in any form, nor shall they provoke trouble or war without reason.”
“Otherwise, they will be subject to joint sanctions from the other Imperial Dynasties among the Ten Great Dynasties.”
“Even if the people of Zhanling Dynasty covet Great Xia’s national seal, they will absolutely not act openly…”
Xu Nian thought deeply at this moment.
He was considering whether or not to secretly tell Chu Yun this news.
But if he did that, it would be equivalent to actively violating the rules of Misty Rain Tower.
The matter of Chu Huang was, after all, personal and could be due to personal loyalty.
But this matter of Zhanling Dynasty was of great importance.
The two were not the same concept.
“I know the situation, you may go down first.”
“Yes.”
After the supervisor left, Xu Nian thought it over repeatedly and finally decided not to tell Chu Yun too much.
He would only give him a vague hint.
He immediately sent a message to Chu Yun.
… … … …
Eighth Princes Residence.
Chu Hao, Chu Xinyan, and Consort Gui Song Yeling were seated in the main hall at this moment, and from their posture, they were clearly waiting for someone.
Soon after, the space in the main hall tore open, and from within the spatial rift, two figures materialized from void to solid.
They were precisely the two elderly men who had entered the city earlier.
“Song Yeling greets the two Seniors.”
“Greetings to the two Seniors.”
The Consort, Chu Hao, and Chu Xinyan all stood up and cupped their fists towards the two.
“I didn’t expect that Old Demon Song, who once brought disaster to a region, would actually leave behind a daughter.”
“If His Majesty hadn’t ordered us to come personally, I, this old man, probably wouldn’t have believed it.”
“You’ve been able to hide within the Great Xia Dynasty for many years; for your old demon father, you truly went to great lengths.”
One of the two elderly men from Zhanling Dynasty spoke, his words tinged with mockery and a hint of disdain.
A trace of dissatisfaction also flashed in Chu Hao’s eyes.
This feeling of being looked down upon, of being condescended to, would make anyone uncomfortable.
However, Song Yeling and her companions were the ones seeking help, so they could only force a smile: “My father is Sealed within the Imperial Ancestral Mountain; without reliance, I had no other choice.”
“This time, I have revealed the news to Your Dynasty’s Majesty, and I implore the two Seniors to lend a helping hand and, at a crucial moment, assist my father in completely breaking free.”
One of them waved a hand and said, “Easy to say.”
“After so many years, the Seal suppressing your father has become incredibly weak; breaking it open is not difficult at all.”
“However, as we agreed beforehand.”
“We want the Great Xia Dynasty’s national seal.”
“Furthermore, the heart blood of the current Emperor is needed to fully activate the complete power of that national seal.”
“Therefore, after assisting your father in breaking free, you should not interfere with anything else.”
Consort Gui Song Yeling immediately nodded: “Good, no problem.”
“As long as the two Seniors help my father break free, then my father and I will not interfere in any other matters, including the Emperor’s life and the national seal; the two Seniors may take them.”
The two replied with satisfaction: “Good, then let’s arrange a place to stay first.”
“Two Seniors, the rooms are already prepared, please follow me.”
Chu Xinyan spoke up at this moment.
After that, she led the two to their resting rooms.
After they left, Chu Hao’s expression was grim: “Mother, they not only want the national seal, but also Father Emperor’s life?”
“But he is, after all, my biological father!”
Song Yeling’s expression was cold and exceptionally firm: “Hao’er, for the sake of your maternal grandfather, we have no other choice!”
“What I owe your Father Emperor in this life, I will repay him in the next.”
“Right now, we absolutely cannot have a trace of soft-heartedness!”
Chu Hao’s face showed some struggle: “Mother, but these two people from Zhanling Dynasty don’t look like good people either.”
“Will they truly help us wholeheartedly?”
Song Yeling lowered her head, was silent for a moment, and then sighed: “There’s no other way, for now, we can only choose to trust them.”
“Everything will be fine once your maternal grandfather breaks free.”
… … … … …
Approaching dusk.
A man dressed in a cloud robe, with a three-foot green sword hanging at his waist, his figure like an astonishing Sword God, imbued with boundless Sword Intent, with sharply arched eyebrows, stepped into the Imperial City.
His deep eyes, like stars, swept a glance, looking towards the direction of the Ninth Princes Mansion.
A smile then appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his figure instantly vanished from the spot.
At the same time, Chu Yun, who was inside his residence.
He was currently sitting on the fishing platform leisurely fishing when suddenly, the Sword Soul Jade in his embrace trembled.
He immediately showed pleasant surprise, his heart throbbing with excitement!
His Revered Master, Carefree Master, had finally arrived!
