Chapter 5525: Suppress Jian Wushuang

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Everything was within the plan.

Even though Tie San was furious, he was cautious. He directly informed his elder brother, Chang Feng Sword God, of everything that had happened.

After learning about it, Chang Feng Sword God pondered for a while and speculated that Wu Zuo intended to use Jian Wushuang to seek the position of the Palace Master.

He instructed Tie San to go find Wu Zuo and explain their intentions.

As long as they could suppress Jian Wushuang, they would fully support Wu Zuo to become the Palace Master.

Moreover, they would actively recruit Qingniu and, in one stroke, pull down Emperor Lu Hua.

This way, there would still be three Palace Masters, and the interests would remain unchanged.

The key was to thoroughly offend Jian Wushuang. They decided to take this extreme measure, pulling down Jian Wushuang along with Wu Zuo without hesitation.

However, they didn’t know that by doing so, they fell right into the plans of Jian Wushuang and Wu Zuo.

Lu Hua hurriedly arrived at the scene.

Seeing Jian Wushuang imprisoned, he inwardly cursed Wu Zuo for being foolish.

Jian Wushuang was now a distinguished figure in the Elder Palace, and Zhen Ling would undoubtedly be aware of it.

Once the Dao Merge succeeded, Jian Wushuang might become the successor of the Qishen Temple.

Offending such a figure for the sake of a Palace Master position seemed irrational.

One could only say that Wu Zuo’s vision was becoming increasingly narrow.

Upon Lu Hua’s arrival, Wu Zuo followed suit.

“Release him first; I’ll vouch for him!” Emperor Lu Hua spoke up.

Wu Zuo hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, “The soonest will be at least 10,000 years later. After Tie San’s wedding, I’ll release Jian Wushuang!”

“You!” Emperor Lu Hua’s expression darkened, pointing at Wu Zuo. “How can I describe you? Jian Wushuang is an Inheritor, an Inheritor of the Ultimate Dao. Now that he’s almost at the completion stage of his Ultimate Dao, aren’t you afraid he’ll come after you once he achieves it?”

Wu Zuo coldly snorted, glaring at Emperor Lu Hua, and angrily said, “Hesitation and indecision! The last time I chose the Palace Master, you said the same thing. You really disappoint me!”

Whether this statement was part of the act or an inadvertent revelation remained unclear.

The last time Lu Hua served as the Palace Master, he behaved improperly, and Wu Zuo still harbored some resentment.

“Fine, since that’s the case, go ahead and walk your solitary path!” Emperor Lu Hua didn’t want to bring up the events of the last time because it was indeed his fault.

If he had been more firm, Wu Zuo might have actually become the Palace Master.

Unfortunately!

Chang Feng’s strength was too weak, and once Wu Zuo took over, the alliance between the two had already disrupted the balance in the current Elder Palace.

Lu Hua was aware of this and chose not to insist any further.

Now, with the two of them joining forces, they had reached a delicate balance with Qingniu and Chang Feng.

However, this delicate balance was about to be disrupted soon, and this time, Wu Zuo wouldn’t be standing by his side.

Instead, he would find himself in a disadvantaged position, and due to the matter of the Origin Source of All Things, he might even end up isolated.

By then, the position of the Palace Master might be at risk.

There was no time to turn back now; he could only bet everything on Jian Wushuang and see it through.

The more it came to this, the more he needed to quickly bring Jian Wushuang out.

A timely help is better than an embellishment when it’s already perfect.

“Hall Master Wu Zuo, it’s fine if you want to keep him in captivity, but I need to interrogate him. Let me in to see Jian Wushuang. This shouldn’t violate any rules, right?” Emperor Lu Hua regained his indifferent expression.

This time, Wu Zuo did not refute. He took out a token and opened the prison, allowing Emperor Lu Hua to enter.

Once inside the prison, Palace Master Lu Hua immediately set up a barrier to prevent Wu Zuo from eavesdropping outside.

Later, he took steps towards Jian Wushuang.

“Palace Lord!” Jian Wushuang struggled to rise, his breath extremely weak.

He wasn’t concealing his aura; instead, he intentionally let Wu Zuo inflict serious injuries on him, suppressing without recovery.

If needed, he could restore himself to the peak at any moment, such was the terror of the power of Life.

Emperor Lu Hua keenly felt this and quickly approached, supporting Jian Wushuang and infusing his own power to help him regain some strength.

“There are some things you should come to me for. Wu Zu has always been unreliable. I forgot to remind you!” Emperor Lu Hua’s expression was regretful.

Jian Wushuang was stunned for a moment, then showed anger. Through gritted teeth, he said, “I was careless this time. I didn’t expect Wu Zu to play me!”

“Don’t worry, he can’t harm you. I will find a way to get you out as soon as possible, within 10,000 years!” Emperor Lu Hua reassured.

“10,000 years!” Jian Wushuang’s eyes showed a hint of anxiety. He spoke, “Palace Master, can you get me out before the grand wedding of Tie San?”

His expression changed, determination in his eyes. He even bowed directly, requesting, “Palace Master Lu Hua, I’m begging you. As long as you let me out, I will be eternally grateful for this great kindness!”

“Jian Wushuang, what are you doing?” Emperor Lu Hua reached out to help Jian Wushuang up, saying hurriedly, “Don’t worry, even if I don’t hold the position of Palace Master, I’ll still get you out!”

After all, he wouldn’t hold the position for much longer, and he wasn’t afraid of being caught by Chang Feng and Qingniu for his previous actions. He might as well cause a disturbance in the Law Enforcement Hall’s prison at that time.

Upon hearing the assurance, Jian Wushuang finally stood up, joy evident in his eyes.

After leaving behind some treasures to restore the Origin Source, Emperor Lu Hua departed.

Jian Wushuang watched his departing figure, feeling a stirring in his heart. Despite knowing that the other had clear objectives, the willingness to abandon everything to help him earned genuine gratitude from Jian Wushuang.

He vowed that when he ascended to the throne, he would not mistreat Lu Hua.

Emperor Lu Hua, upon leaving the prison, didn’t spare a glance at Wu Zuo. With a cold snort, he waved his sleeve and departed.

He was disappointed in Wu Zuo.

The two had been good friends for many years, and now their relationship seemed to have crumbled.

In the ancient era, although Emperor Lu Hua was not the direct heir of Qishen Temple, he came from a prestigious family, a legitimate descendant of a Universe Master.

Venturing through the river of time, he met Wu Zuo, and the two had experienced numerous trials together.

It was a friendship that transcended life and death.

“Hmph, this time I’m one step ahead of you!” Wu Zuo muttered to himself. After glancing at Jian Wushuang in the prison, he turned and left.

News of his suppression quickly spread.

Even the Inheritors on the Grave God Mountain learned a fair amount.

In the Earthly Realm’s secret realm, Hu Qing also received the news promptly.

“Brother Wushuang, this time I can’t help you!” Hu Qing slightly closed his eyes, situated in an extremely malevolent pool.

Meanwhile, in the shadows, Long Yi marveled at everything and reported the situation to Zhen Ling.

Inside the prison.

Jian Wushuang sat cross-legged in the corner, and there was no change in his aura.

However, in the Sea of Origin Source within him, his Origin Source clone was practicing the pinnacle supreme technique he created.

As a Dao Lord, he could create a pinnacle supreme technique, making him one of a kind.

Eternal Calamity!

The first sword move was still a bit rough!

“Swords may be lifeless, but strength is alive!” Jian Wushuang shook his head.

Chapter 5523: Kneel Down

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The aura on his body undiminished, he descended directly into the courtyard.

Tian Cang, indistinguishable from a dead dog in his hand, was casually thrown aside.

Seeing Vice Hall Master Zhong without any surprise, everything unfolded as planned.

“Where’s Gong Miaoyi?” Jian Wushuang showed no courtesy. He sat down bluntly where Gong Miaoyi had been sitting, cutting straight to the point.

Vice Hall Master Tie San remained unchanged in expression. Personally pouring a cup of tea for Jian Wushuang, he said calmly, “Jian Wushuang, just a maidservant, is it necessary to make such a fuss?”

“Haha!” Jian Wushuang laughed in anger, rubbing the armrest of the chair. Then, with a sudden force, he directly shattered the armrest, with wood chips flying out. Tie San easily defused the situation.

Defusing this was easy, but in front of so many people, how could Jian Wushuang be so disrespectful? If he endured, how would his subordinates view him?

In the Fengteng Courtyard, many people were present.

Originally intended to intimidate Jian Wushuang, it now backfired.

The other Vice Hall Master of Longevity Hall stepped forward, angrily shouting, “Jian Wushuang, you’ve gone too far!”

“Hmph!” Jian Wushuang snorted disdainfully, saying, “Who are you? Do you have the right to speak here?”

“You!” The Vice Hall Master, unaccustomed to such treatment, was about to rush forward but was held back by Tie San.

Tie San took a deep breath, suppressing his anger. Holding the tea-infusing frame in his hand, he calmly said, “Regarding Gong Miaoyi’s matter, I did overlook it. Even if you didn’t come, I would personally visit with a generous gift. I didn’t expect it to escalate to this point!”

He continued, “Speak of your demands. If there’s anything lacking or any requests, I, Tie San, will definitely fulfill them!”

Jian Wushuang lifted the teacup, gave it a shake, and then, with intense anger in his eyes, directly splashed the tea towards Tie San, angrily shouting.

“You’ve grown muddled in your old age, asking me to make demands?!” He chuckled with exasperation. “I want the Origin Source of All Things in the Beiwang Tower. Can you afford that? Don’t think just because you’re a Hall Master, you can spout nonsense freely. Otherwise, I’ll wipe the floor with you in one go!”

A violent aura emanated from Tie San, evaporating the tea on his face. He was about to erupt, but upon hearing about the Origin Source of All Things, he had to forcefully suppress the anger in his heart.

He had already informed his elder brother, Chang Feng Sword God, about the situation here. Even his elder brother advised against provoking Jian Wushuang, stating that the latter just wanted to extort some treasures—pay him off, and that would be the end of it.

But now, Jian Wushuang was not giving any face. It wasn’t about money; it was about humiliating him!

Vice Hall Master Zhong stared blankly, having shifted his position to the back.

If it were him, he would probably have taken action long ago. He admired Tie San’s patience; he could endure such provocations.

Wasn’t Tie San quite domineering before?

Why did he seem so restrained now?

“Jian Wushuang!” Tie San’s expression finally darkened. He glared at Jian Wushuang as if wanting to eat him, gritting his teeth and saying, “If it weren’t for my big brother’s instructions, you would have died a hundred times already!”

The last sentence was just a threat.

In the Elder Palace, who would dare to kill Jian Wushuang?

If someone dared to kill him, forget Zhen Ling, they would have to fight for their lives against the consequences.

“Let me also tell you this, if I haven’t achieved Dao Merge yet, you wouldn’t even have the privilege of sitting down and talking to me. Without your big brother, you wouldn’t even be able to secure your position as a Hall Master!”

Both of them stood up simultaneously, their bodies close, faces almost touching.

Staring into each other’s eyes.

“Today, let Gong Miaoyi leave with me. Either you kneel down and kowtow to me three times, or I’ll consider this marriage settled!”

Jian Wushuang stood up straight, rubbed his forehead, and then said, “Alternatively, you can give me the Origin Source of All Things. Don’t say I didn’t give you face. After I finish my demands, you figure out how to handle it!”

These three demands were enough to ruin the reputation of the other party.

Letting Gong Miaoyi go with him was absolutely impossible.

He had already sent out the invitations, and having a Dao Companion run away with someone else meant losing face completely.

As for the Origin Source of All Things, even with ten lives, he wouldn’t dare to decide.

In the end, the only option left was to kowtow!

But that was no better than just killing him directly.

Vice Hall Master Zhong on the side couldn’t bear to watch any longer. This was such a great humiliation.

For the sake of a woman, it wasn’t worth it!

“All of you, step back!” Tie San’s face was trembling, waving his hand to signal those people to disperse.

The Vice Hall Master of Longevity Hall showed some emotion.

Letting them leave, was he really ready to compromise?

If that was the case, then the Longevity Hall would be disgraced for a lifetime.

Being stepped on the face by a Dao Lord.

“Hall Master, we…”

But before they could finish speaking, Tie San’s face turned as pale as wax. He raised his head, glanced at the crowd, and roared, “Get lost!”

Swish!

People didn’t dare to linger any longer, and their hearts turned cold.

The usually imposing Hall Master of Longevity Hall had now fallen to such a state, about to kneel to a Dao Lord.

After everyone left, only Tie San, Jian Wushuang, and Vice Hall Master Zhong remained.

“Earlier, there were many people around, but now there is no one else. I, Tie San, personally offer you a gift. The treasure within this mustard seed is worth 30,000 cubic universe crystals, my lifelong accumulation. Please accept it!” Tie San presented a mustard seed with both hands in front of Jian Wushuang.

Jian Wushuang’s gaze flickered; 30,000 cubic universe crystals were not particularly attractive to him at the moment.

With his own possession of several hundred thousand cubic universe crystals, he didn’t lack these 30,000.

On the contrary, the other party having 30,000 cubic universe crystals probably gained some benefits privately, accumulating over millions of years.

There would be more in the future.

30,000 cubic universe crystals weren’t a significant loss; he could obtain more in the future. However, Gong Miaoyi could not be returned to Jian Wushuang.

Others might not know, but Tie San was clear in his heart that Gong Miaoyi’s constitution was very special and particularly suitable for dual cultivation.

As long as he found Gong Miaoyi’s father, Gong Miaoyi promised him dual cultivation.

Now that he had obtained information about Gong Miaoyi’s father, after the grand wedding, he would surely bring Gong Miaoyi to find her father.

Once they started dual cultivation, his strength could be further enhanced.

There was hope for the supreme-peak, and the hope was significant.

By then, the two brothers would both be supreme-peak experts, and within the Elder Palace, they would not fear anyone.

So, Gong Miaoyi would never be let go.

The reason he could endure was precisely this.

In case Jian Wushuang insisted on taking Gong Miaoyi away, when he brought this matter to Palace Master Lu Hua, the other party wouldn’t help him. Moreover, he didn’t stand on the right side!

If it weren’t for his older brother’s advice, he would have almost lost his temper.

Enduring for a while was fine. After he stepped into the supreme-peak, there would be no need to fear Jian Wushuang.

Even if Jian Wushuang succeeded in merging Dao in the future, he would also be a supreme-peak expert, and there would be no need to consider Jian Wushuang’s opinions.

After all, the Elder Palace was the private force of Zhen Ling.

It’s not that there weren’t other Ultimate Emperors, but those Ultimate Emperors were not related to them, at most giving some face.

No matter how grandly they spoke, it was just potential.

Ultimate Emperors didn’t have much power; they were busy cultivating, with no time to bother about such matters.
