In the Great Xia Dynasty palace.
In the dungeon.
When Xia Qian saw the corpse that Su Changyu was holding, he immediately recognized that it was the corpse of the Sect Leader of the Qingyu Dao Sect.
Not long ago, he sent someone to the Qingyun Dao Sect to kill Ye Ping.
Later on, he was told that all the people he sent were dead and so was the Sect Leader of the Qingyun Dao Sect who got killed by a powerful Sword Qi.
However, he had already gotten rid of the corpses of his subordinates without leaving any traces behind.
Besides, Xia Qian also remembered that according to the information, Su Changyu was just a good-for-nothing.
Why did he appear in the dungeon of the palace with the Sect Leader of the Qingyun Dao Sect in his arms?
His words had even left him with no means to resist as he dropped on his knees and knelt down right away.
Xia Qian didn’t think much about it nor did he have the intention of doing so. Now, he was already feeling insulted, humiliated, and furious.
‘So what if I sent someone to kill the Sect Leader of the Qingyun Dao Sect?’
‘So what if I had tampered with the array formation platform and tried to kill Ye Ping?’
‘How dare he!?!’
‘How dare he make me kneel!?!’
‘I’m the Crown Prince and the future emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty!’
Xia Qian’s face was extremely sullen.
“I’m the crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, how dare you make me kneel down and insult me like this? You’ve committed a capital crime! The Great Xia Dynasty will not spare you, and I will annihilate the Qingyun Dao Sect!”
Xia Qian’s expression was menacing as he hollered furiously.
Staring at Xia Qian while holding Daoist Tai Hua’s corpse in his arms, Su Changyu’s expression was extremely calm.
Xia Qian immediately lowered his head uncontrollably.
Afterwards, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
To Xia Qian, kneeling down and kowtowing was an insult that felt even more agonizing than having everything else taken from him.
At this moment, several figures appeared. They were the powerful people from the imperial palace.
When they saw the scene in front of them, their expressions all changed drastically.
The Crown Prince, Xia Qian, was actually kneeling and kowtowing in front of someone else.
He was the Crown Prince and the Emperor Star of the Great Qian Dynasty. Now that he was kneeling and kowtowing in front of someone else, it was not only an insult to Xia Qian himself but also to the Great Xia Dynasty.
At that moment, one of the Tribulation Transcendence powerhouses clenched his fists as if he was in control of everything. He felt an urge to kill Su Changyu.
No matter how extraordinary Su Changyu was, forcing his way into the palace, appearing in the dungeon of the palace, and making the crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty kneel on the ground to kowtow to him was a heinous, capital crime!
Boom!
However, Su Changyu did not move at all and simply looked at him without any anger or displeasure in his eyes. He was transcendent, aloof, and above all else, making him feel an urge to worship him.
Their fists approached and the moon and sun engulfed Su Changyu. In an instant, two Immortal Swords emerged from Su Changyu’s eyes and slashed the arm of the powerhouse.
“Huh?”
It was followed by a miserable cry.
In just an instant, the Tribulation Transcendence powerhouse had his arms severed right in front of Su Changyu and blood gushed out instantly.
It was too terrifying.
“This… This… this is impossible!”
The powerhouses of the palace couldn’t believe their eyes.
They could tell that Su Changyu did not kill him.
Otherwise, he could have directly decapitated that powerhouse with a single gaze. That was really terrifying.
At this moment, another figure appeared in the dungeon.
It was the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty.
However, when he saw the situation in front of him, he couldn’t help but be stunned.
“What exactly is going on?”
“Your Majesty!”
The powerhouses of the palace immediately tensed up as they didn’t expect the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty to arrive there.
Su Changyu even told Xia Qian to kneel down. ‘What if the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty attacks?’
“Changyu.”
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty looked at Su Changyu, somewhat at a loss for words.
Su Changyu was just like an immortal today and even the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty felt an urge to worship him.
He wondered what exactly had happened to Su Changyu during this period of time.
Looking at Su Changyu’s snow-like white hair, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty’s gaze was full of shock.
However, he immediately shifted his gaze from Su Changyu to the corpse in his arms.
‘That’s Daoist Tai Hua, the Sect Leader of the Qingyun Dao Sect.’
‘Daoist Tai Hua is dead!’
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty remembered that Su Changyu had once said that although he did not have a real father, Daoist Tai Hua was better than his father.
Daoist Tai Hua was now dead.
Holding Daoist Tai Hua’s corpse in his arms, he made Xia Qian kowtow.
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty began to make some conjectures.
“Changyu, what happened?”
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty asked with a bitter expression.
“Are you trying to stop me?”
Su Changyu did not answer and merely said so.
His voice was extremely indifferent and he seemed to be above all else in this world.
The powerhouses of the palace were surprised because they didn’t expect that the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty knew a peerless powerhouse like Su Changyu and even seemed to have an extraordinary relationship with him.
“What exactly is going on?”
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was silent.
Su Changyu’s intentions were very simple, it was just as what the emperor saw and thought about.
Xia Qian had long wanted to attack Su Changyu.
He had not only tampered with the array formation platform, but he even sent his people to the Qingyun Dao Sect and had something to do with Daoist Tai Hua’s death.
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was at a loss for words. Faced with such a situation, he really didn’t know what to do even though he was the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Who would have thought that his sons would vie to kill each other?
Previously, the master of the Heavenly Secret Hall told him that there were inauspicious Qi in the Emperor Star of the Great Xia Dynasty.
One was the Crown Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty while the other was the Ziwei Emperor Star, the chosen one. Yet, they were out to kill each other.
In this situation, it was only normal for there to be inauspiciousness coming from the Emperor Star of the Great Xia Dynasty.
After a moment of silence, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty spoke up, “Let him stay alive. I’ll strip him of his position as the Crown Prince and hold him in purgatory for life in the palace.”
“He’s your brother after all, and I don’t want you to kill your brother.”
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty pleaded in a shaky voice.
Indeed, Xia Qian was wrong to have attacked Su Changyu and even killed the latter’s master, Daoist Tai Hua.
However, he was still Xia Qian’s father, so how could he stand watching his son get killed by Su Changyu? How could he let Su Changyu kill his brother?
He inhaled sharply.
In an instant, the dungeon was silent.
It was dead silent.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
‘Brother.’
‘Killing his brother.’
‘This person is the son of the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty.’
‘Why would the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty have another son?’
‘Could it be…’
‘Could it be…’
‘Could it be…’
‘Could it be that this immortal-like man is the… Tenth Prince.’
The Tenth Prince who had gone missing then.
The powerhouses of the palace were confused as they couldn’t help but size up Su Changyu, only to realize that his appearance was indeed somewhat similar to the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty.
However, Su Changyu’s aura was too extraordinary, so everyone didn’t associate him with the Tenth Prince.
If the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty hadn’t said that, they wouldn’t have believed it.
‘What’s going on? Why would this happen between the Tenth Prince and the Crown Prince?’
Xia Qian, who was kneeling in front of Su Changyu and had kowtowed to the point of having his forehead bleed, was also dumbfounded.
He was dumbstruck.
Su Changyu was the Tenth Prince!
In other words, he had been wrong all along.
He had been sending people to kill Ye Ping but to no avail.
Xia Qian was flabbergasted.
The Tenth Prince had always been a thorn in his flesh that filled him with extreme hatred.
Even after so many years had passed, he had never been able to forget the Tenth Prince.
Now, he knew that the Tenth Prince was Su Changyu who made him kneel down in front of him and kowtow to apologize.
Xia Qian could not accept it, and he was on the verge of losing his mind.
Besides, despite the situation, his biological father, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, had merely told Su Changyu to let him stay alive and that he would remove him from the position of the Crown Prince and then imprison him for life afterwards.
‘How biased!’
‘He doesn’t care about me at all! The only one who matters to him is the Tenth Prince!’
It was still the case even though they hadn’t met for 27 years.
Xia Qian’s heart was full of infinite anger.
“Huh?”
Xia Qian hollered, his voice full of endless anger, hatred, resentment, murderous intent, jealousy, and terrifying menace.
It gave everyone present chills down their spines.
At this moment, the black lotus on the stone of luck in Su Changyu’s essence soul swayed, and the lotus seeds inside seemed to have been bred.
Sensing the movement of the black lotus in his essence soul, he frowned slightly and said, “I’ll let him stay alive, but what happened today will sever all blood ties between us.”
“He can escape the punishment of death, but not the punishment he will receive when he’s alive.”
Su Changyu spoke indifferently.
Before the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty could continue, Su Changyu put away Daoist Tai Hua’s corpse and reached his hand out calmly.
In an instant, infinite sword intent emerged.
The bright and dazzling sword light dashed into the sky, making them shudder as they were unable to look straight at it.
Even the Tribulation Transcendence powerhouses could not get a clear glimpse of it after they widened their eyes using their Dharmic powers.
Everyone was stunned. ‘What an impressive and extraordinary sword. In the face of such a sword, even the Tribulation Transcendence powerhouse had no means of living, let alone Xia Qian.’
Pfft.
The Sword Qi pierced through Xia Qian’s flesh and shattered his meridians, causing his face to turn pale.
Xia Qian was lying motionlessly on the ground, glaring at Su Changyu with his bloodshot eyes.
Bang!
He then tilted his head and passed out.
After doing all this, Su Changyu turned around and left.
Everyone in the dungeon watched in silence and no one intervened to stop. Well, they couldn’t anyway.
“Changyu.”
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty stared at Su Changyu’s back as he left.
Su Changyu ignored him and simply vanished in the dungeon.
At this moment, someone immediately came forward, helped Xia Qian up, and checked his internal physical condition.
“Your Majesty, His Highness is severely injured, but his life is not in danger. However, there seems to be something off about his situation.”
After that person examined the Crown Prince’s condition, he frowned and said so.
“Why did things turn out this way?”
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty did not answer him as he simply muttered to himself distractedly.
Everyone was speechless.
At the same time, Su Changyu appeared in the sky above the Great Xia Dynasty.
He stood in the air with his hands by his side, his hair as white as snow. He was just like an immortal.
“I finally found you.”
“It’s no wonder you’re the Son of Destiny. You’re so extraordinary.”
At this moment, someone with an old voice spoke up.
In the royal capital of the Great Xia Dynasty, a middle-aged man looked at Su Changyu who was above the palace. His voice was full of excitement and anticipation.
Su Changyu glanced at the middle-aged man with an indifferent expression.
The middle-aged man was Daoist Tai Hua’s Senior Brother whom he saw kill Daoist Tai Hua in the scene he saw when he used the Time Reversal technique.
He had been waiting for the middle-aged man to appear.
Daoist Tai Xuan stared at Su Changyu like a beast eying its prey as he slowly made his way up to the sky and towards Su Changyu.
