Chapter 450: Chapter 425 Overseas Visitors to the Imperial City_1
The green-robed young man, Zhao Zhihuan, integrated his spiritual sense with the environment once he stepped ashore.
His face reflected mild surprise as he said, "This world seems to be the result of a powerful entity’s death, yet there is no will of Heaven and Earth. Strange."
"Without the will of Heaven and Earth, it means the rules here are incomplete, and no creatures can attain immortality. Sir, this actually makes our task of capturing Fu Xinli much safer," a thin old man bowed and said.
"Don’t let your guard down; find out where Fu Xinli is."
Zhao Zhihuan ordered.
The thin old man nodded, took out a copper plate, infused it with his soul power, then perked up: "I found him, Fu Xinli is indeed on this continent. According to the soul plate, the Three Emperors Command is in the extremely southern part, but I can only deduce the approximate location, not the exact one."
"Let’s go, move south, find Fu Xinli."
Zhao Zhihuan stepped into the air and left.
Half a month later, in the Shiwan Mountains of Nanjiang.
Zhao Zhihuan, with his eleven subordinates, stood high in the air, their faces slightly gloomy.
The soul plate could only roughly locate the Three Emperors Command in Nanjiang, but couldn’t pinpoint its exact location. With the vastness of the South, they had searched for more than ten days but found nothing.
"Sir, relying on the twelve of us to find Fu Xinli is like searching for a needle in a haystack. If we want to find him quickly, we need to seek help," the thin old man said.
"Seek help?"
Zhao Zhihuan’s eyes flashed with approval, "You’re right. This world is ruled by a nation called the Da Wu Emperor Dynasty. If the Emperor of Da Wu helps us, it will be much faster than us searching on our own."
"Check what strong cultivators the Da Wu Emperor Dynasty has, and estimate their cultivation levels."
"Yes, sir!"
A dozen figures flashed and turned into rainbows, darting in all directions.
Soon, various pieces of information were delivered to Zhao Zhihuan.
"The Da Wu Emperor Dynasty was established just five years ago?"
"An arrow killed a Primordial Spirit Seventh Transformation of the Immortal Clan, the Master of Fairy Ruins, Primordial Spirit Eighth Rotate Unity Way..."
Zhao Zhihuan murmured, processing the information, then finally said, "This Lu Yan, he is indeed a legendary figure."
"In this small world, he is indeed legendary. But according to the information, he has at most the power of Crossing the Tribulation Stage. This world does not have any immortals. Sir, we should not worry."
A burly man said.
Only Lu Yan, Min Luo, and Mr. World knew of the incident in which Mr. World killed the Immortal Great Freedom after his thoughts merged. This piece of information was never leaked.
Therefore, Zhao Zhihuan’s subordinates naturally didn’t know about this, they believed this world did not harbor any immortals.
"Let’s go to the Great Wu Imperial City."
Zhao Zhihuan commanded. He stepped into the air and headed towards Wangu City, followed closely by others.
Shortly, they arrived at Wangu City. They landed, concealed their breath, and made their way into the city after being checked at the city gate, just like ordinary people.
Zhao Zhihuan strolled through the busy streets with his hands kindly behind his back, seeming like a noble young master. His eleven followers behind him stared sharply around, smothering the spirit of anyone nearby and causing passersby to scatter.
"Sir, should we go directly to the palace?" A huge man whispered.
"No need, we will try diplomacy first."
Zhao Zhihuan replied with a smile.
In this manner, they advanced to the Imperial Palace, where they were stopped by a team of bodyguards.
"This is royal territory, intrusions are not allowed. Gentlemen, please turn back," a Captain roared.
"You shall report that our lord wishes to see Emperor Da Wu."
Stated the thin old man beside Zhao Zhihuan.
The Captain frowned. The other party wanted to meet Emperor Da Wu, but carried an arrogant and commanding attitude that inspired annoyance. He was a royal bodyguard, representing the dignity of the Da Wu Emperor Dynasty.
"There must be thousands, if not tens of thousands, wanting to meet His Majesty. If you wish to see him, you must first fill out your identity information in detail. I will pass it on; it will be reviewed layer by layer, checked to verify your identity, and then submitted to Emperor Da Wu. It is then up to the Emperor to decide whether to meet you or not," the Captain replied.
Zhao Zhihuan knitted his brows.
"What a pompous Emperor. Our lord wanting to see him is an honor, don’t take it for granted," a tall, sturdy man couldn’t help but blurt out indignantly.
A metallic clank resounded...
War knives were drawn, and a group of royal bodyguards surrounded Zhao Zhihuan and his team.
"Audacious! Insulting the Emperor is a severe crime punishable by death!" The Captain yelled.
"The one who deserves death is you," said the burly man, his eyes flaring. An intimidating aura erupted from him. The Captain and the six royal bodyguards standing near him were instantly blown apart, reduced to mashed flesh.
The rest of the royal bodyguards were shocked, but they quickly retreated while yelling, "Attack! Attack!"
Boom, boom, boom...
The sound of war drums echoed, alarming the entire palace as hordes of experts mobilized to rush toward the intruders.
"Who dares to break into the palace?"
A figure shot through the air, his powerful presence bursting forth like a tidal wave, surging towards Zhao Zhihuan and his group.
It was Chu Long.
"Force their Emperor to appear."
Zhao Zhihuan said indifferently.
"Yes!"
The burly man obeyed, launching a palm strike toward Chu Long as if the sky caved in, a huge bronze palm print blazed its way toward him.
"What is this...?"
Chu Long’s face turned pale, he mustered all his strength to resist, but was still forced to retreat, coughing up blood and falling to the ground.
"So powerful. Could he be in Unity Way stage?"
Chu Long spit out several mouthfuls of blood, his face turning pale.
Three years ago, his cultivation level had advanced further, reaching the Sixth Rotation of the Primordial Spirit.
With his strength, after crossing into the Sixth Rotation of the Primordial Spirit, his combat power increased greatly. As long as he accumulated for a period of time and reached the Third Void, he could compare with the strongest in the world.
But when facing the robust man, he couldn’t resist even a single attack.
The opponent obviously hadn’t used all his strength, and it was simply a wave of his hand, but such battle power was clearly of a He Dao.
Why did a He Dao suddenly appear out of nowhere?
After injuring Chu Long with one palm, the robust man’s energy exploded, overwhelming and covered the entire Imperial Palace, brazenly inspecting everything.
But the next moment an even stronger spiritual sense exploded from the deep parts of the palace, collided with the man’s spiritual senses, the man grunted in discomfort as his face turned pale and stumbled backwards.
Three figures strode in mid-air, flying from the depths of the Imperial Palace.
The man leading the way was dressed in a black dragon robe, robust in stature, dignified and imposing. He was the Emperor Da Wu, Lu Yan.
On both sides of Lu Yan were Chu Tianjiao and Elder Chi Yi.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
At this moment, a large number of royal bodyguards had arrived and saluted Lu Yan.
"All of you, fall back. These people are not something you can handle."
With a wave of Lu Yan’s hand, he glanced at Zhao Zhihuan and others, his face was solemn.
"He Dao, so many He Dao, seven He Dao, and four more, their aura is even more terrifying than He Dao’s, they must be existences in the Transcendence Tribulation Stage."
Lu Yan was taken aback, but what made him most cautious was the young man in brocade, whose aura in his senses was unfathomably deep, like a black hole swallowing everything near it.
Could it be Immortality?
Lu Yan was shocked.
These people were all unfamiliar faces, as if they had suddenly appeared out of thin air.
The world definitely did not possess so many powerhouses, these people, did they come from overseas?
Lu Yan pondered rapidly.
"Are you the Emperor Da Wu?"
Zhao Zhihuan looked at Lu Yan, opening his mouth to speak with a faint smile on his face, feeling somewhat astonished inside.
"Just Primordial Spirit Sixth Rotation, it is rumored that Emperor Da Wu could slay immortals of the Seventh Transformation of Primordial Spirit with an arrow, comparable to Transcendence, seems to have been overly exaggerated."
Zhao Zhihuan secretly thought.
This seemed normal enough.
Some legendary figures will be exaggerated by their admirers.
A Sixth Rotation of the Primordial Spirit being able to become the ruler of a country, ruling over everyone in the world, it seems that this world really isn’t that powerful.
He felt more relieved.
"Indeed, what brings you to see me today?"
Lu Yan made a fist and palm salute and politely asked.
In the end, this world was still a world where the strong were respected, although he was the ruler of a country, in front of real powerhouses, he wasn’t much.
He naturally wouldn’t act pretentious and call himself ’This Majesty’.
Among his subordinates, he could use this term, but in front of other powerhouses, it wasn’t suitable.
"We are from the Wilderness Cloud Valley."
Zhao Zhihuan introduced himself.
Lu Yan was surprised. As expected, they were from overseas.
The Wild Land, what kind of place was that – a continent similar to Great Wu?
Zhao Zhihuan continued, "Our Cloud Valley has had a defector who stole a treasure from our valley, crossed the Wild Ocean, and escaped to your continent, hiding himself. I have been searching for him for many days without result, and I need your help to find this defector."
"How can we help?"
Asked Lu Yan.
"The defector was injured by me, with a hole in his chest and a spread of grey fog. As the ruler of a nation, as long as you order everyone to strip and inspect their chests, not spare one person; anyone with a wound on their chest and grey fog spreading from it, is the defector."
Explained Zhao Zhihuan.
"Thoroughly inspect the entire nation and examine every individual."
Lu Yan’s eyebrows furrowed.
This was a tremendous undertaking.
Great Wu, with its 72 states, how vast were the lands, how huge was the population?
Even though it had undergone many years of war, and the population was not one-tenth of what it was during Da Chu’s peak era, the base number was too big and its territories too vast. The total population of Great Wu was in the billions.
With so many people, having to examine each one in person was not something that could be casually described as laborious and costly.
Just because a stranger asked him to, he would go to such great trouble and expense? Impossible.
"And if I refuse?"
Lu Yan asked.
"Refuse?"
Zhao Zhihuan smirked, "You’d better think about whether you can afford to refuse. If it were me, I definitely wouldn’t."
He was openly threatening.
"Oh? And if I insist on refusing?"
Lu Yan asked.
"You insist?"
Zhao Zhihuan shook his head slightly and sighed, "Why do people only cry when they see the coffin."
Boom!
The moment his words fell, a horrifying aura erupted from Zhao Zhihuan.
The aura, like a huge world, was pressing down on them.
Bump! Bump!
Chu Tianjiao and Elder Chi Yi were the first to bear the brunt, being kneed by the immense pressure, their knees slamming into the ground and creating two large pits.
"Ah..."
Overwhelmed with humiliation, Chu Tianjiao howled and exploded with all his strength, wanting to get up.
But as the pressure strengthened once more, Chu Tianjiao was directly thrown to the ground, coughing up a large mouthful of blood.
