Chapter 1 The Beginning

You Long slightly raised her eyes, scanning the entire area. An invisible pressure, so terrifying it made everyone in the Purple Hall instantly freeze!

That kind of terrifying suppression from a superior to an inferior made even their breathing seem to stop.

At this moment, You Long spoke.

"Which one is the Seventh Prince?"

Her voice was very light and ethereal, giving people a sense of otherworldly detachment.

"Reporting to the Grand Elder, the Seventh Prince is not here. They are from the Purple Hall, and have already defected to the First Prince, who has no bloodline power. They are restricting me from finding the Seventh Prince!"

"So you are people of the Zi family. But having forgotten the ancestral teachings, you are not qualified to be members of the Zi family."

Hearing You Long's words, the Purple Hall Master's expression changed. Just as he was about to open his mouth, a wound suddenly appeared on his neck, and blood spurted out like a fountain from the gash.

What kind of martial art was this?! It was even more bizarre than the bizarre!

The Purple Hall Master opened his mouth wide in panic, wanting to say something, but the wider he opened his mouth, the larger the wound tore, until with a crack, his head snapped off his neck and fell to the ground, his face still frozen in an expression of desperate shouting, with veins bulging on his forehead.

Looking at the headless corpse of the Purple Hall Master on the ground, the other Purple Hall guards knelt on the ground in fright, repeatedly kowtowing and begging for mercy.

But as they kowtowed, their heads were severed one after another, falling to the ground.

In just a short while, these Cloud-level martial artists had all died silently in the graveyard.

Everything happened too quickly, too calmly, making You Xingchen feel somewhat dazed.

Dead? The people of the Purple Hall were killed by the Grand Elder?

This...

He felt that the Grand Elder didn't need to be so ruthless. These people from the Purple Hall just hadn't met the Seventh Prince yet; otherwise, they would definitely defect to the Seventh Prince's camp, instead of continuing to support the First Prince.

However, in front of the Grand Elder, he didn't even dare to breathe too loudly, let alone say anything else.

Whether it was the bizarre killing method or the inhuman jade-like texture, it made people subconsciously afraid to offend in any way.

Even more than a person, You Xingchen felt that the Grand Elder was closer to something bizarre...

Or rather, somewhere between the bizarre and an immortal?

He had once heard the patriarch say that the elders in the clan were in closed-door cultivation in order to break through the shackles of the spiritual roots and reach the realm of immortals that no one had been able to reach!

Now it seemed that, in order to achieve this goal, the elders had cultivated themselves into something that was neither human nor bizarre.

"Where is the Seventh Prince?"

You Long's gaze fell on You Xingchen.

Cold sweat trickled down You Xingchen's forehead.

He forced himself to remain calm and said, "He should be at the Juan Bird Tower."

"Juan Bird Tower?" You Long seemed a little confused, but quickly said, "Take me there."

Before You Xingchen could answer, he found himself 'floating'.

At this time, he vaguely understood what You Long's power was all about.

"Threads, invisible threads! I can feel myself being lifted into the air by many invisible threads!"

Sure enough, only by actual contact could one understand what those mysterious things were all about.

However, if he had really understood You Long's fighting style in battle, he would probably already be headless.

"Grand Elder, the capital is under attack by the Wu Yu clan's bizarre creatures, the entire capital is..."

"None of my business."

With a change in perspective, he was already thrown out of the barrier by the power of the threads and landed outside.

Before he could get up, he saw You Long and two other middle-aged men walking out of the barrier.

They were none other than... You Family's Second Elder and Third Elder!

"Lead the way, to the Juan Bird Tower."

At You Long's command, You Xingchen's body was dragged into the high altitude by the threads, bathing in the night rain.

"Catch."

After You Long and the other two elders took to the air, You Long threw something over.

You Xingchen subconsciously caught it, and when he took it out to look, it was actually the [Rain-Shielding Pearl]! The [Rain-Shielding Pearl] from those Purple Hall people!

The Grand Elder actually collected the things from the corpses...

You Xingchen was a little stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that this fairy-like and distant Grand Elder didn't seem so otherworldly after all, and suddenly felt a little closer to her.

"What a heavy night rain, I haven't seen it in many years." The Second Elder looked up at the rolling black clouds and smiled faintly.

"Compared to the night rain, the awakening of the royal bloodline is even rarer." The Third Elder stared ahead, his eyes indifferent. kanShuLA

"Let's go, the new king has appeared, Qing Country is about to turn upside down."

As You Long's voice fell, You Xingchen had just pointed the direction when he felt his body being torn apart by a violent force, and the surrounding scenery changed rapidly. In a dizzying state, he rushed towards the Juan Bird Tower!

...

Juan Bird Tower.

Under the dim black clouds, the once glorious Juan Bird Tower was shrouded in a layer of shadow.

Under the crash of the black meteor shower, the Juan Bird Tower suffered a great impact.

And most importantly... when they went to look for the Second Prince and Third Prince, what they saw was... two headless corpses!

Lei Louzhu, one of the four landlords of Juan Bird Tower, stared blankly at the corpses of the two princes, not knowing what to do for a while.

On the other hand, Kuang Louzhu next to him reacted quickly and said in a deep voice, "Enter the palace and report the information to the First Prince! The seriousness of this matter is beyond what our Juan Bird Tower can handle."

An Louzhu nodded slightly: "That's exactly what we should do."

Of the four landlords of the Juan Bird Tower, only three remained besides the clown landlord who had already died.

They all had Cloud-level strength, and were first-class experts in the entire capital. However, they still couldn't bear the responsibility for the fall of the two princes.

That was a major event concerning the royal family!

Lei Louzhu sighed deeply.

The capital was in chaos, and their Juan Bird Tower was not doing well either. First, the Extreme Ice Sect caused trouble, and then the prince they relied on died in the Juan Bird Tower. Disaster after disaster, it was as if they were cursed. Their only reliance was the First Prince.

Lei Louzhu looked outside the building, where black clouds were gathering.

Below, his subordinates were fighting with insect-like bizarre creatures.

Eh? Wait!

Lei Louzhu narrowed his eyes and found that his subordinates below were not only fighting bizarre creatures, but also had some kind of conflict with a group of people.

With a clang of swords, a group of Juan Bird Tower people fell.

"Hiss——?!"

Lei Louzhu was shocked. What kind of swordsmanship was this, what kind of strength was this?

Who were the guys below!

With a sinking face, he exchanged glances with the other two landlords.

"This kid, others can't stop him, we have to take action. Who is willing to try?"

"I'll go!" kanShuWu.ξà

An Louzhu snorted coldly and jumped off the roof!

"With An Louzhu's action, the disturbance below will definitely be resolved!"

"That's right, no one has been able to break that palm technique that descends from the sky!"

Lei Louzhu was full of expectations for An Louzhu.

Under the gaze of the two landlords, the falling An Louzhu had already absorbed the surrounding Qi, forming a faint, starlit palm print, pressing down!

"Die!"

"One move!"

The two were full of confidence in their colleague.

However, under their gazes, a piercing sword sound suddenly rang out.

In the next instant, as if even space had been split open by a sword, a dazzling white sword light appeared in mid-air.

When the light dissipated, they only saw An Louzhu, who had already fallen to the ground, his corpse split into two sections, his expression frozen in shock and disbelief, completely unable to move.
