Chapter 60: Chapter 59: The Great Xia Elder Imperial Tutor! An Unshirkable Duty to Suppress the Fugitives
In a hidden pavilion within the Great Xia Imperial City.
King Zhenyue and his party stood atop the seven-story building, gazing into the distance.
King Zhenyue looked toward the Great Xia Prison, the image of Chen Tianfeng surfacing in his mind as his expression darkened.
He then spoke, his voice low.
"I didn’t expect that old fox, Chen Tianfeng, to have such good luck. He actually broke through to the Spirit Transformation Realm!"
Behind him, the Tian Mu Saint Son bowed, his expression respectful as he said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, my master said that this man must have had some sort of fortuitous encounter to break through to Spirit Transformation at his age."
At the mention of the Spirit Transformation Realm, the Tian Mu Saint Son grew quite wary, his heart heavy.
’If Chen Tianfeng wanted to kill me, a single wave of his Divine Thoughts would be more than I could handle!’
A Great Power of the Spirit Transformation Realm was just that strong!
"Thirty years ago, Chen Tianfeng was nowhere near this powerful!"
"I recall that back then, the Prison Lord of the Prison Suppression Bureau was Sikong Lei!"
"Was he stripped of his post, or is he already dead?"
Lost in his memories, King Zhenyue questioned the Tian Mu Saint Son beside him.
"Your Majesty, I’m not entirely clear on the specifics!"
"I only heard from my master that back then, when the Black Sea King was causing chaos, Emperor Xia sent Sikong Lei to suppress the Dragon!"
"In the end, however, he was struck down by a single swipe of the claw from the Black Sea King, whose power had greatly increased!"
"The Black Sea King..."
"That Old Dragon from the East Sea Basin?"
King Zhenyue’s eyes narrowed slightly.
"It is exactly as Your Majesty says!"
After a moment of recollection, the Tian Mu Saint Son continued, "That Old Dragon flew into a rage and attacked within the Great Xia Dynasty’s borders because his offspring was killed!"
"He stirred up a monstrous tidal wave that affected over a dozen counties and prefectures, drowning over a million people!"
"Emperor Xia was furious and immediately dispatched experts from the imperial court to suppress him!"
"But for some unknown reason, that Old Dragon’s power had increased immensely!"
"The Prison Lord of the Prison Suppression Bureau, Sikong Lei, was swatted to death by one of its claws!"
"I heard that in the end, it was the Great Xia Dynasty’s Elder Imperial Tutor who personally took action, finally striking the Old Dragon down!"
"That’s what ended the bloody chaos!"
The Tian Mu Saint Son told King Zhenyue everything he knew.
Upon hearing the two words ’Imperial Tutor’!
King Zhenyue’s eyes constricted, his heart turning cold with awe!
The Imperial Tutor!
He was a living legend!
He had personally groomed three Emperors of Great Xia!
He was the true foundation and backing of the Great Xia Dynasty!
Coming back to his senses, King Zhenyue looked toward the Imperial Palace.
His gaze held a trace of deep apprehension!
From deep within the magnificent, golden-tiled palace, he could faintly sense an incredibly terrifying fluctuation of True Qi!
In substance, it was comparable to Mount Zhong Yue!
In volume, it was as vast as an abyss!
Unmatchable!
"For the Great Xia Dynasty to stand for hundreds of years without falling, the contributions of that Elder Imperial Tutor are truly indispensable..."
King Zhenyue took a breath and spoke slowly.
Behind him, the Tian Mu Saint Son and the Black Lotus Sect Elder, Bai Zai, both fell silent.
They were all escaped convicts, so naturally, they held a deep-seated fear of this Elder Imperial Tutor!
If they alerted him, it wouldn’t matter what tricks they pulled; it would all be for naught!
The Elder Imperial Tutor would undoubtedly suppress them on the spot!
The disparity in their Realms was simply too great!
Of course, in the eyes of the Elder Imperial Tutor, they were probably just small fry, not even worth his time to act against.
At this moment, even King Zhenyue, who had already stepped into the Spirit Transformation Realm, felt his heart grow incredibly heavy!
"Lin’Er can’t get away for now. Let’s leave first!"
He let out a slow breath, glanced at the still festive and lively Youlan Grand Assembly, and gave the command.
"The Illusion Bead is a strange treasure, but it can’t be maintained for long!"
King Zhenyue averted his gaze and looked at the two of them. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
SWOOSH!
The three of them concealed their auras, their figures flickering!
They fled into the distance under the cover of night!
「At the lively and bustling Youlan Grand Assembly.」
The Demon Armored Youth, disguised as Lord Xu, seemed to sense something at that moment.
His expression shifted slightly.
’Looks like Father has successfully escaped!’
At this thought, the Demon Armored Youth relaxed considerably.
’Once Father is free, I can proceed smoothly with the next phase of the plan!’
Just then, a Great Xia official with a ruddy complexion, dressed in a red robe, approached him.
Holding up a wine cup, he spoke with a respectful tone.
"Lord Xu! A toast to you!"
The Demon Armored Youth, in his guise as Lord Xu, nodded slightly and clinked cups with the man.
He then took a light sip of wine and began to chat with him, his expression perfectly normal.
「In a private residence within the Great Xia Prison.」
Su Bai used his vast Divine Thoughts to "watch" the entire conversation between the three men!
’King Zhenyue...’
He withdrew his Divine Thoughts, his expression stirring.
’This man’s Cultivation is at the Spirit Transformation Realm, and he’s also a Prince of noble status!’
’The Cultivation Technique he practices must be of a very high grade!’
After some thought, Su Bai slowly rose to his feet.
His expression was solemn!
’It is my sworn duty to apprehend escaped convicts!’
At this thought,
with a few flashes of movement, frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
Su Bai left the prison with a smile on his face.
...
After leaving the Great Xia Imperial City, King Zhenyue and his group followed the route that the Demon Armored Youth had arranged for them in advance.
They headed straight east!
After traveling for dozens of li and passing through a dense forest, they arrived at a somewhat remote area!
The air here was scorching, and Demonic Qi surged to the heavens!
This was the Celestial Fire Demon Cave!
Such scorching, dense Demonic Qi!
The Tian Mu Saint Son immediately frowned.
"Your Majesty! Should we go around this Demon Cave?"
King Zhenyue stood with his hands behind his back, glancing at the Celestial Fire Secret Cave ahead before speaking indifferently.
"Now that I am free, I shall naturally advance with vigor!"
"This is merely a bit of mud on the path!"
"Why should we need to detour?"
Immediately after,
King Zhenyue’s golden eyes focused!
The aura emanating from his body grew stronger and stronger!
Like a tall, majestic Mount Zhong Yue!
Suppressing everything in all eight directions!
Then, he slowly raised his right palm!
And struck forward, sending out a searing red Palm Seal!
BOOM!!
In an instant, a red light howled forth! The Demonic Qi receded!
The world became clear!
A bright, clear moon hung high in the sky!
It cast down a gentle, silvery radiance that scattered and washed over them.
Behind him, the Tian Mu Saint Son and the Black Lotus Sect Elder, Bai Zai, were incredibly excited to witness this scene!
In their eyes,
they saw a great path of heaven and earth, shimmering with silver light,
floating before them, leading straight into the distance!
"Your Majesty’s divine might is unparalleled in this world!"
The two of them were deeply in awe of King Zhenyue’s power!
King Zhenyue slowly withdrew his hand, his robes rustling!
The silver radiance scattered across his shoulders, making him look like a world-shaking Exiled Immortal!
"Let’s go!"
The next moment, King Zhenyue spoke calmly and led the two forward, taking the first step!
But he hadn’t gone far.
Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks!
His face fell!
Ahead of them, a large, dense mass of black mist suddenly surged into the air!
It radiated a monstrous Demonic Qi!
Within the black mist, an enormous black dragon’s head slowly emerged!
It stared at the three of them coldly with its eerie blue pupils!
But what made King Zhenyue’s expression change drastically was not this Demon Dragon before him!
But what was on top of the dragon’s head!
A mysterious Golden Shadow, standing with its hands clasped behind its back!
