The Celestial Person Threshold, the Strongest Grandmaster
Li Xuanjun's words exuded an unparalleled air of dominance.
However, he has the right to say that.
Below the Celestial Person, Li Xuanjun reigns supreme in the Azure Heaven Realm!
He can be considered the strongest person in the Grandmaster Realm.
Zhao Yinyin was well aware of how terrifying the other party was. Grandpa Song once commented on Li Xuanjun: as long as Li Xuanjun remained Grandmaster Realm, no one in the world would dare to advance to the Celestial Person.
It can be considered the threshold of the Celestial Person Realm.
It is because of this threshold that the world has been slow to produce a fourth Celestial Person.
I originally thought it was just a Grandmaster from Ten Thousand Swords Valley who was involved with the eldest prince, but I never expected that the one who was truly protecting him was Li Xuanjun, the leader of Ten Thousand Swords Valley.
"Break!"
Zhao Yinyin unleashed her full power, slashing out with her sword, but it only caused a ripple on the wall of Sword Qi before quickly subsiding.
"Everyone says that Sect Master Xuanjun is the number one Grandmaster in the world. He is indeed powerful, but who would have thought that he would collude with such a person to rebel? Don't you care about your reputation at all?"
Upon hearing this...
A hint of melancholy appeared in Li Xuanjun's eyes as he sighed, "I have absolutely no intention of rebelling. After today, once I have ensured the safety of those behind the waterfall, I will personally enter the palace. I will accept whatever punishment His Majesty deems appropriate, without complaint. I only ask that Ten Thousand Swords Valley be spared. The people of Ten Thousand Swords Valley were unaware of this matter."
Zhao Yinyin asked curiously, "I still don't understand. If you have no intention of rebelling, why would you risk your reputation and even your life to protect him?"
"It's just cause and effect..."
Li Xuanjun sighed to himself.
He had received kindness from the ancestors of the eldest prince's mother's clan, which was why he embarked on the path of cultivation; otherwise, he would have starved to death on the streets long ago.
So.
I should repay this kindness.
This is cause and effect.
"Since Your Highness is unwilling to leave, then this old man shall take his leave."
After Li Xuanjun finished speaking, he said to the cave abode behind the waterfall, "Your Highness, this place is not safe to stay any longer. Please leave with me."
Thank you for your help.
Behind the waterfall came a voice that Zhao Yinyin recognized very well; it was none other than her eldest brother, who had once tried to kill her.
"If you dare take him away, I'll kill myself!"
Zhao Yinyin hurriedly raised her sword, but at that moment, wisps of Sword Qi emanated from the sword in her hand, entangling Zhao Yinyin and rendering her unable to move an inch.
"Your Highness, you shouldn't have made me take action."
Upon hearing this...
Zhao Yinyin suddenly realized that the Sword Qi wall that Li Xuanjun had just created was not intended to protect the waterfall at all, because there was no way she could break in under Li Xuanjun's nose.
So.
That wall of Sword Qi was merely an illusion.
The purpose was to allow herself to break through that wall of Sword Qi, thereby leaving the Sword Qi on her sword.
The real intention was to prevent her from committing suicide at that moment.
Now, she could only watch helplessly as Li Xuanjun took the eldest prince away.
Now.
The eldest prince emerged from behind the waterfall, clearly still recovering from his serious injuries. Upon seeing Zhao Yinyin, he smiled and said, "Seventh Sister, your brother is currently injured, so I won't keep you company."
"Elder brother, I am still willing to call you brother. You should know that as long as you pull back from the brink now, Father will not kill you. You only have some schemes, but you have not actually rebelled. You can still live a carefree life and enjoy all the glory. Turn back now!"
"Turn around?"
A chill ran through the eldest prince's eyes as he said, "That's easy for you to say. You'll cripple my cultivation, turn me into a useless cripple, and confine me to the palace for the rest of my life. I'd rather not have that kind of life!"
"I was destined to be the crown prince, yet he refused to give me the position and even plotted against me! Since that's the case, then don't blame me for disregarding our father-son relationship!"
The eldest prince's tone grew increasingly cold.
"Your Highness, it's time to go."
Li Xuanjun urged from the side.
You can't escape!
Zhao Yinyin clenched her teeth.
"Seventh Sister, please give my regards to the one on the throne when you return."
The eldest prince laughed heartily, and then prepared to leave with Li Xuanjun.
But then...
An unexpected sound rang out in the void.
I think you'd better go back and greet them in person.
Upon hearing this...
Not only the eldest prince, but even Li Xuanjun was slightly taken aback. This person should be in front of the Ten Thousand Swords Cliff at this moment, so why was he here?
The one who spoke was Chen Ning.
At this moment, Chen Ning stretched lazily and said casually, "Finally, you've shown yourself, Your Highness!"
Actually.
This is also part of the plan.
They had to wait until the eldest prince emerged from behind the waterfall and truly appeared before Chen Ning could make a move.
Everything Zhao Yinyin did before was to force Li Xuanjun to expose the eldest prince, so that Chen Ning would have a reason to take action.
Ten Thousand Swords Valley is the number one power in the world, a place of faith for sword cultivators and even cultivators everywhere.
Once the waterfall is behind, it's not the eldest prince.
Chen Ning and Zhao Yinyin's actions have caused them a lot of trouble.
Public opinion is always right, and there's more to it than meets the eye. In addition, two Grandmaster from Ten Thousand Swords Valley are very close to the Carefree King. If the Carefree King uses this as an excuse to cause trouble...
This is also a major problem for the Myriad Spirits Imperial Dynasty.
That's why Chen Ning has waited until now.
At this moment, the eldest prince is extremely important to Chen Ning. If he captures the eldest prince and takes him back, he can get closer to the royal family and thus have the opportunity to enter the royal library to find the wordless ancient book.
