Yuanshi: Tongtian, How Dare You Help the Human Emperor?!

Kunlun Mountain, Jade Void Palace.

Upon the Cloud Bed, that ancient, unchanging figure slowly opened his eyes.

Just now, he had sensed a familiar aura returning to Kunlun at astonishing speed.

It was True Lord Taiyi.

A trace of confusion surfaced in Venerable Lord Yuanshi's heart.

True Lord Taiyi had gone to Chaoge City under his decree to accept Lingzhuzi as his disciple.

"Disciple pays respects to Master."

Venerable Lord Yuanshi looked at him, his expression still as indifferent as it had been for countless ages.

"Why did you not bring Lingzhuzi back?"

Upon hearing this, all of True Lord Taiyi's grievances and fear surged to the surface, and he began to complain.

"Master, it is not that this disciple was unwilling to bring Lingzhuzi back."

"It is just that... there is something strange about Chaoge City!"

At last, an almost imperceptible ripple appeared on Venerable Lord Yuanshi's emotionless face.

"Strange?"

"What is strange about it?"

True Lord Taiyi raised his head and spoke.

"Following Master's decree, this disciple went to Chaoge City, intending to enter the city directly, find Li Jing's residence, and accept Lingzhuzi as a disciple."

"But who could have known... who could have known that the moment this disciple entered the city, all my Magic Power... all my Magic Power was instantly suppressed
