Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 5038 Meeting the Young Emperor

After leaving Desolation, she still had lingering fears.

She did not even want to recall that kind of soul-stirring oppression.

"What kind of place is that? Why is there such a terrifying creature there?"

She was secretly shocked because she could feel the aura of the giant beast. It was not weaker than the Grand Elders from the Ancient Era in Little World Mountain.

And at the last moment, she saw an unimaginable scene. The huge claw of the giant beast that hung down from the clouds was actually bound by tens of thousands of chains!

"Who has the strength to imprison it there? Could it be the Emperor?"

Thinking up to here, Chang Ling was shocked to the extreme. At the same time, she was even more certain that only a God Monarch had such strength.

"Could he have been imprisoned there by the Emperor?"

She gritted her teeth. Clearly, she already had an answer in her heart, but this answer was too unfair.

He was able to fight a Grand Yan Immortal under Zhen Wuyang with the power of a Yan Immortal. Just because of that, should he be banished and imprisoned?

The tallest trees in the forest would be the ones exposed to the strongest winds... Chang Ling understood this concept. However, it was also precisely because she knew that unwillingness arose in her heart again.

However, there was nothing she could do about it. She could not do anything at all. She could even enter Desolation.

Thinking of this, she sighed and returned to Little World Mountain.

"Sister Ling, I, I actually fell asleep…"

In the Little World Mountain shrouded by auspicious clouds, under the Immortal Tree, Amy lowered her head and said. Her two toot hands were placed behind her back, looking like she had done something wrong.

Chang Ling forced a smile and stretched out her slender palm to rub her head. "It's alright, Amy. Don't blame yourself. That place was never a place you should have gone to."

Amy nodded and then hurriedly said, "Then, Sister Ling, did you see Big Brother Jian when you went there?"

She smiled bitterly. "I didn't."

Then, Chang Ling roughly told Amy about everything that happened there.

"Ah, no way. Is that place that scary?" Amy exclaimed in surprise after hearing it.

Chang Ling sighed slightly. "It's far more terrifying than I described. Hence, it's almost impossible to see him."

"Then what should we do? Hopefully, nothing has happened to Big Brother Jian. Otherwise, Young Emperor…" At this point, Amy face was filled with anxiety as she paused. Then, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Chang Ling with hope in her eyes.

"Yes, Young Emperor, Brother Yan!"

Chang Ling was puzzled. "What does it have to do with the Young Emperor?"

As if grasping at a life-saving straw, Amy said, "Sister Ling, you don't know this. Brother Jian and the Young Emperor are best friends. If the Young Emperor knows that Brother Jian is trapped in the Secret Realm of Desolation, he will definitely come to help!"

After hearing this, Chang Ling was speechless. Even though she had been cultivating and meditating in Little World Mountain since she was young, she still knew some things about the Heavenly Regions outside.

She was especially clear about the situation of the seven princes, because this was the most basic criteria for a candidate to be a Heavenly Official.

It was rumored that the eldest prince of Zhen Wuyang was the most violent and eccentric, he never befriended any Yan Immortals and even treated his six brothers as enemies.

A few years ago, Chang Ling had once looked at the eldest prince, Prince Yan, from afar. It was basically in line with the rumors. His face was pale, devilishly handsome, and eccentric and ruthless.

They were hostile towards all the Yan Immortals in the Heavenly Court.

This also caused even the elders of the Ancient Era to avoid him and give him respect.

There were even rumors that Prince Yan had fought alongside Zhen Wuyang when he was still a minor. He had even used a scheme to help Zhen Wuyang conquer the last Heavenly Court in the Great Si Region.

All these amazing feats added together caused him to be infamous. In the entire Grand Si Region and even the Heavenly Court, no Yan Immortal and Grand Yan Immortals dared to underestimate this "trashy" prince.

This was also the reason why she was surprised by what Amy said.

In her opinion, it was impossible for the First Prince, Prince Yan, to have anyone close to him, let alone a good friend.

Moreover, seeing how Jian Wushuang was severely injured and brought to the Small World Mountain by Uncle Yu alone, she did not think that there was any relationship between the two.

After thinking about it for a while, Chang Ling said, "Amy, you can't say things carelessly. How could they be related?"

Seeing that Chang Ling did not believe her, Amy hurriedly said, "It's true. I won't lie to you, Sister Ling. Not long ago, Big Brother Jian came with Big Brother Yan to the Heavenly Court's banquet. They even got the Immortal Peach from that banquet together!"

Chang Ling's beautiful eyebrows trembled. She finally had an impression. The Immortal Peach winner from the last Heavenly Court banquet was indeed the First Prince, Prince Yan.

She also heard that Prince Yan split the Immortal Peach into two and gave the other half to a young Immortal.

Thinking of Jian Wushuang's shocking performance in Emperor Dao Arena, Chang Ling finally believed Amy's words.

"But, would the First Prince be willing to take the risk to save him?"

Chang Ling asked, her words filled with doubt.

Amy smiled, her big eyes narrowing into the shape of a crescent moon. "Don't worry, Sister Ling. I can feel that Brother Yan's feelings for Brother Jian are different. He will definitely come and save Brother Jian!"

She hesitated for a while and finally made up her mind. "Then, shall we go see the Young Emperor?"

Amy nodded desperately.

"But, the candidates for the Heavenly Official positions are not allowed to leave the Small World Mountain as they please…"

"There's no such thing as a 'but', Sister Ling. I will have a way to let you leave this place."

"Alright, alright."

...

The clouds and smoke swirled around, and then they returned.

As if he was in a dream-like cloud, a figure leaned on the jade steps.

He was dressed in luxurious clothes with mountains and rivers painted on it, looking like a whale swallowing the sky.

Leaning on the jade steps, he was half asleep and half awake, not knowing what the flow of heaven and earth was.

In the Heavenly Palace, it was so quiet that one could hear it. There was not a single aura of a Yan Immortal.

After an unknown period of time, the tightly sealed Heavenly Palace's gates slowly opened. Then, a thin and small purple-robed man entered the palace with light footsteps.

The thin purple-robed man quietly came to the side of the prince. He bent over and whispered, "Your Highness, there is a fairy who came to see you six days ago. She said that she has something important to discuss with Your Highness."

The figure on the jade steps did not even open his eyes, as if he was still sleeping.

Meanwhile, the thin purple-robed man stood still and waited for a reply.

After a long time, a cold voice sounded.

"No. If she doesn't leave, kill her."

The thin and small man in purple nodded. He would carry out every order firmly and never asked for an explanation.

He turned around and was about to leave, but after taking a few steps, he stopped and turned around to add another sentence.

"Your Highness, that fairy is a Grand Yan Immortal. I can sense from her aura that she probably came from Little World Mountain."

"Not interested. Ask her too leave." The figure on the jade steps said. There was only cold killing intent in his words.

The thin and small purple robe was silent. Finally, he said, "Your Highness, it was Little Amy who asked her to come and see you."

On the jade steps, he quietly opened his eyes, which contained supreme might.
