Legend of Swordsman
chapter-6014

After dealing with the Empress, Jian Wushuang turned his head to glance at the two Seven Tribulation experts, who were kneeling in terror in the void, their heads buried between their knees, trembling.

This reminded him of a time when he had been in such a plight himself.

So, he didn’t make things difficult for the two.

With a thought, he tore through the fabric of space, carrying the Empress and Queen Yun Zhi away.

But before leaving, he left behind two masses of life force potent enough to drive Eighth Tribulation experts mad.

“Unbelievable…” The two Seventh Tribulation experts stared at the masses of Life force for a long time, unable to believe their eyes.

Once they realized Jian Wushuang had truly departed, they bowed several times in the direction he had left, before daring to accept the Life force and directly absorbing it on the spot to restore their divine bodies.

In the depths of the Imperial City of the Daughter Kingdom, beside a fake mountain.

Jian Wushuang stood under a peach tree, arms crossed.

He listened carefully to the Empress recounting the history of the Chen family.

He tried hard to uncover anything suspicious.

“Black Heaven, Ye family!” Jian Wushuang’s gaze shifted.

Finally, he heard what he wanted amid their conversation.

Though he had some guesses, there was still some uncertainty in his heart. Now knowing that the Chen family hailed from the ancient Black Heaven and that an ancestor of the Chen family had once married a disciple of the Blood Robe Sect.

“This is all I know about the Chen family…” The Empress finished, looking at Jian Wushuang, evidently wanting to know if there was any connection between the destruction of Yue Kingdom and the Chen family!

At this moment, Jian Wushuang also reached his final conclusion.

After taking a deep breath, he admitted, “Your Majesty, I’m deeply sorry!”

“The culprit who destroyed Yue Kingdom wasn’t the Ye family, but a monster, the same cocoon that Yan Long Patriarch gave me in the Great Hall!”

He directly revealed the truth, which was the real reason behind the destruction of Yue Kingdom.

As for the Ye family, Jian Wushuang didn’t want them to be implicated.

The influence of the blood-colored power was significant; one small mistake could lead to a repeat of the tragedy.

He could handle it, but the Empress and Queen Yun Zhi couldn’t!

If it was indeed related to the Ye family, it was his own matter, not much related to the Empress.

Moreover, he would soon leave the upstream spacetime. Whether he would come back or not was uncertain. In the future, he wouldn’t be able to protect the Empress anymore.

“A cocoon!” At this moment, a trace of helplessness appeared on Fengchen’s face as the strands of her hair fluttered before her eyes. It was the mockery of fate. The cocoon she had once disregarded ended up destroying Yue Kingdom.

After learning the identity of the murderer, she felt anger but didn’t know how to vent it. Instead, she wandered aimlessly until Queen Yun Zhi’s guidance helped her find peace.

Now, she felt empty.

Seek revenge?

She didn’t have the strength for it.

Endure silently?

That wasn’t her nature.

So, her only hope rested with Jian Wushuang.

“I will do my best…” Jian Wushuang didn’t make any promises, only stating that he would try his hardest.

Because he hadn’t thought about seeking revenge for Yue Kingdom; his goal was to help Wanyan find Ye Lingxiao.

To gain the power of blood, to strengthen himself.

He didn’t think much beyond that.

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward for a moment. After Jian Wushuang got the answer he wanted, he didn’t linger, hastily taking his leave.

Queen Yun Zhi didn’t try to detain him, but rather got up to personally see him off.

In the upper echelons of the Daughter Kingdom.

“Master, there’s no need for further farewells, thank you for this time!” Jian Wushuang expressed his gratitude with a cupped fist.

But Queen Yun Zhi had something to say, her expression somewhat distant. “Jian Wushuang, on behalf of Fengchen, I apologize for what happened before, back then…”

“Born for the Dao, as long as there’s no regret, there’s no need to apologize to anyone!” Jian Wushuang shook his head, interrupting Queen Yun Zhi. He knew what she was going to say.

Though he had once complained about the Empress behind her back, he was still alive and well now, so he harbored no hatred.

He just felt sorry for those people from back then.

Queen Yun Zhi’s gaze flickered, realizing that Jian Wushuang wasn’t the type to hold grudges.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have sent those treasures back then, so she didn’t say anything more.

With a rippling sound, Jian Wushuang stepped into the void and bid farewell casually before departing gracefully.

Only after the temporal rift closed did Queen Yun Zhi’s figure begin to dissipate, returning to the imperial city of the Daughter Kingdom.

In the Primordial Black Heaven.

Perpetually night!

But within the void, there was a hint of bloody aura piercing through the heavens.

That was the Blood Robe Sect established by the Ye Family.

Amidst the blood glow, there were numerous universes, all containing the Origin Source Universes of Universe Masters and some universe secrets.

The Blood Robe Sect was situated within one of these secret realms.

Compared to the Ancient Wood Continent, the Primordial Black Heaven was extremely stable, but it didn’t hold many treasures.

Treasures harbored dangers.

Initially, the Ancient Wood Sect’s sects were established directly outside the Wanliu Divine Realm to suppress everything.

However, the Blood Robe Sect had no place to suppress, merely constructing their sect within the blood glow in the void.

The Long Night City!

Both the Ye Family and the Blood Robe Sect resided in this grand city.

Legend has it that this place used to be the Origin Souce Universe of the Ye Xiaowang.

The Long Night City was once called the Long Night Secret Realm, a main secret realm within the Ye Xiaowang’s Origin Souce Universe.

Swish!

A white-robed young man tore through the void and arrived outside the Long Night City. Beside him was a figure clad in black robes, unmoving, with features completely concealed, even their breath entirely veiled.

The white-robed youth glanced up at the towering city ahead without hesitation, then, accompanied by the black-robed figure, he stepped into the Long Night City amidst the crowd.

Indistinguishable from the masses, he wore pristine white robes, and his bald head was the only thing that made him stand out.

As he entered through the city gates, the white-robed monk glanced back at the void outside, twirling a string of prayer beads in his hand. With a subtle movement, wisdom gleamed in his eyes.

“It seems Jian Wushuang has also arrived!” the white-robed monk muttered to himself before turning and entering the city.

If Jian Wushuang had seen this person’s face, he would have been delighted for sure.

Hu Qing!

Since the destruction of the Ancient Moon Ruins, he had reappeared, now arriving at the Long Night City in the primordial black sky.

And his reason for coming was similar to Jian Wushuang’s.

Upon request, to resolve a crisis.

Just as Hu Qing entered the Long Night City with the black-robed figure, they headed straight for the Ye family Ancestral Mansion!

“Kindly inform the master that there is a woman named Ye Lingxiao who wishes to see the head of the Ye family!”

Hu Qing spoke with a calm demeanor, being exceedingly courteous to the two guardians of the Ye family’s gates, both of whom were at the Tribulation level.

He appeared harmless!

The two gatekeepers of the Ye family’s mansion were shaken upon hearing Ye Lingxiao’s name. The long-lost young lady of the Ye family had actually appeared?

If Jian Wushuang knew that it was Hu Qing who had taken Ye Lingxiao away, he would be even more shocked!

The mysterious strong individuals encountered by Wu Zuo and the others also surfaced.

It was the “Hu Qing” they were looking for!

“Senior, please wait a moment. I will report this immediately!” The two gatekeepers were not fools. Unable to discern Hu Qing’s strength, they naturally had to be cautious, especially since the visitor came in the identity of the Ye family’s young lady.

Reporting was only natural.

The current head of the Ye family was none other than the father of the Blood Robe Sect’s master.
