Imprisonment

Silence descended amidst the smoke.

Suddenly losing both arms

Nalan You, having been kicked in the buttocks again, lost his balance and fell to the ground. Blood gushed from his arm, staining the ground red.

His eyes held a hint of disbelief, and his breath trembled with pain.

"Haha... My... my hands... I'm going to kill you all! You bastards!"

"."

At this time,

Wang Chengping and Gong Yuanzeng, who had been getting beaten up for half the day, also recovered from the turn of events and slowly walked to Xu Yuan's side, their eyes filled with a strange look.

"Changtian, what are you doing?"

Xu Yuan smiled and waved at the two of them:

"Alright, you two go find Junwu. I just explained it to her."

Upon hearing this, Gong Yuanzeng glanced at the Tachao, knowing that now was not the time to discuss the matter in detail.

"Okay, but I'll have to explain this to you guys afterwards."

"Okay." Xu Yuan nodded with a smile.

As the two left

Xu Yuan stared intently at the Tachao.

His appearance had a slightly exotic feel, with a high nose, curly hair, and a decorative goatee on his chin.

However, he had completely lost his composure at this moment. With both arms gone, he pushed off the ground as he backed away, shouting meaningless threats such as "I'm going to kill you" and "You're dead."

After staring at the other person for a long time, Xu Yuan suddenly spoke up:

"Alright, stop howling, no one else can hear you."

Nalan You froze upon hearing this, the venom in his eyes evident.

"You seem to come from a very powerful family, but you really shouldn't have messed with me at this critical juncture."

As he spoke, he grinned, his eyes flashing with ruthlessness:

"I was personally invited by your emperor. He will surely give me an explanation for your actions!"

"What explanation?"

Xu Yuan raised an eyebrow, remaining standing still, and chuckled softly to himself.

"Alright, alright, stop trying to provoke me with this nonsense. I'm not going there, so don't even think about ambushing me."

Nalan You.

A moment of silence,

Nalan You directly channeled his Qi to completely suppress the bleeding from his arms, slowly propped himself up from the ground, and squinted at the young man in brocade robes opposite him:

"Who are you?"

Xu Yuan looked at Nalan You, whose expression had suddenly returned to calm, and sighed inwardly, "Just as I thought."

Since we're discussing state affairs, they wouldn't send a good-for-nothing from the Great Desert.

and,

Although he didn't understand the cultivation methods in the Great Desert, the Saint's Remnant Soul knew a little about them.

This Old Man Luo pursued immortality and had basically studied every cultivation method that could be researched in the world.

Losing an arm in battle is a fatal injury for cultivators below the second rank, but it seems that this is not the case in the Great Desert.

The thought had barely crossed his mind when Xu Yuan saw...

After a surge of muscle contractions in Nalan You's chest, two new arms sprouted from his arms with a "thud".

Nalan You's expression returned to its usual calm and collected state.

"I don't recall anyone like you among the younger generation in the Imperial Capital."

"."

Seeing this bizarre scene, Xu Yuan ignored the other party and instead asked himself:

"Old Man Luo, this Great Desert Cultivation Method allows limbs to regenerate so easily? Could it also be related to the Strange Ghost?"

This ability seems quite unsolvable.

Old Man Luo chuckled:

"How is that possible? Their method of limb regeneration is related to a special blood of theirs that we don't know where it came from. Strange Ghost can survive having their heads cut off. You can try cutting off their heads and see what happens."

Xu Yuan was slightly interested:

"So that's how it is. This is what the Great Desert calls the blood of a divine beast?"

Old Man Luo was also somewhat uncertain:

"Back then, when the Strange Ghost invaded, I went to the Great Desert Royal Court to try and steal a divine beast, but I didn't find a single thing. I suspect that this 'divine beast blood' might be a blood-like potion they concocted using some special materials and methods."

Xu Yuan's rant:

"With such a calamity looming, you old man are doing nothing right."

The voice of the Saint's Remnant Soul didn't seem to matter much.

"You know nothing, kid. It's just a pity we didn't find the formula for the blood of their Great Desert divine beasts."

Xu Yuan didn't respond, but found it somewhat amusing.

The mythical beast of the Great Desert does exist, called the Kirin Wolf.

It appeared once as the final boss in Cangyuan.

Thinking it over, Xu Yuan glanced at the Tachao, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

If the plot hadn't affected the Great Desert, a goddess would now exist Great Desert, a goddess bound to that divine beast.

One of the female protagonists of Cangyuan.

This is one of the reasons why the Great Desert dared to launch a large-scale invasion of the Central Plains.

"."

Seeing Xu Yuan staring at his newly grown arm, Nalan You calmly clenched his fist and said in a low voice:

"The Great Desert environment is extremely harsh, and we Dachao People need to train our bodies from a young age in order to survive."

Did I ask you?

Nalan You.

Xu Yuan exhaled and slowly stepped forward, sword in hand:

"Although I don't know why you deliberately caused trouble in the Imperial Capital, since you've displeased me, then you're out of luck."

"I'm giving you two choices, you bastard. First, kneel down and apologize to me."

"As for the second point, I want to see if your well-trained body can grow back its head after it's been chopped off."

As Xu Yuan moved, the sleeves of his robes fluttered even without wind.

"."

Nalan You stared at Xu Yuan, retreating as his eyes gradually hardened with a fighting spirit:

"Although I don't know how you were able to appear behind me so silently, you have great courage to fight someone of a higher level head-on, and I will respect you."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan burst out laughing:

"Don't put it so high and mighty. With your discerning eye, Your Highness, you should be able to tell that I'm not using my own cultivation level, right?"

As he spoke, Xu Yuan looked up at the sky:

"Don't you think that a high-level cultivator from the City Defense Bureau is about to arrive? Besides, the City Protection Array has already been activated; those above won't just stand by and watch you get killed."

The commotion has already alerted the City Defense Bureau, and a thin layer of light has enveloped the full moon in the night sky.

Part of the City Protection Array for the Imperial Capital has been activated.

After a pause, Xu Yuan's eyes swept back over Nalan You:

"I've been wasting my time talking to you for so long just to confirm some things. Now that I'm sure, I can tell you very clearly: if I want to kill you, even if the Crown Prince came right now, he couldn't save you."

Nalan You's eyes remained calm, and he gave a cold laugh, completely unconcerned.

"You?"

Having said that,

Nalan You turned and ran.

"." Xu Yuan.

On the other side,

Li Junwu looked at the two cronies running over, and before they could speak, a hint of surprise appeared in her beautiful eyes:

"Where is Changtian?"

Upon hearing Gong Yuanzeng asked curiously:

"They're still over there, Junwu. Changtian said he explained it to you."

Are you guys stupid?!

Li Junwu stomped his foot and glared at the two of them. "You're just leaving Changtian there alone?"

Wang Chengping chuckled.

"Don't worry, Changtian's aura is almost comparable to Grandmaster. That barbarian is no match for him; both of his hands were chopped off."

Li Junwu took a deep breath:

"Those wolf cubs can regenerate their limbs, but I'm not worried about Changtian."

"."

Upon hearing this, Wang Chengping paused for a moment, then hesitated before saying:

"Hello,

"You're not suggesting that Changtian is planning to just kill that Tachao, are you?"

"."

After saying that,

The three remained silent.

This is indeed something Xu Yuan could do.

We're doomed.

With his cultivation level increased, this bastard became increasingly audacious.

In the past, they would at most beat up young masters from sects or Aristocratic Clan, but now they even dare to kill diplomatic envoys involved in war.

Li Junwu bit his lip, a look of anger appearing on his handsome face:

"This kid's always been like this since he was little. He always tries to shoulder everything by himself. Can he really handle something like this by himself?!"

"Alright, stop talking, let's get over there."

After the three finished speaking,

He then quickly ran towards the battle group where Xu Yuan and Nalan You were.

But before they arrived, they heard a furious roar from the horizon:

"Stop it, all of you!!!"

Second Grade Origin Beginning.

The battle had barely begun when the experts from the Imperial Capital's defense forces arrived.

A gust of wind instantly dispersed the dust and smoke from the collapse of the Clear Jade Pavilion, revealing the ruins and rubble inside.

This unexpected turn of events naturally also affected Xu Yuan and Nalan You.

Due to the different cultivation systems, Nalan You's cultivation level was between the fourth-grade Body Fusion and the third-grade Grandmaster, so his speed of running away was not slow.

Xu Yuan did not intervene upon seeing this scene, but instead directly handed over control of his body to the Saint's Remnant Soul.

Because he didn't cultivate the Cultivation Method of Saint's Remnant Soul, Old Man Luo couldn't control Xu Yuan's body in the same way he controlled Qin Mo's.

But this did not affect the overall situation of the battle in the slightest; from the very beginning, the battle was a one-sided and overwhelming victory for the enemy.

The vast disparity between them meant that Prince Nalan You of the Tachao had no chance of escape.

When the City Defense Bureau arrived, Old Man Luo unleashed three ghostly sword shadows that pierced Nalan You's heart from different angles.

"Is the next step up to you?" Old Man Luo asked casually.

"Um."

The three sword shadows converged into one. Xu Yuan, gripping the hilt of the sword piercing Nalan You's heart, asked:

"Now, Your Highness, do you have anything else to say?"

"Who are you?" Nalan You, blood trickling from the corner of his lips.

I think you should have guessed it by now.

As Xu Yuan slowly twirled the Clear Speech Sword in his hand, he smiled and said, "My father is Xu Yinhe."

Nalan You's expression was pained; his arms, now completely wolf-like, gripped Clear Speech's sword hilt.

"You... you planned to kill me from the very beginning?"

Xu Yuan gently shook his head, continuing to apply force with his hand:

"No, if you hadn't let your dog throw that artificial hill at me, I was planning to sit back and watch the show. But seeing you transformed into a wolf suddenly reminded me of something, Nalan You."

Nalan You coughed up a mouthful of blood, but it was blocked by an invisible barrier before it reached Xu Yuan:

"What's wrong?"

"I imagined a young, shrewish woman fighting a pack of old dogs for a golden bone," Xu Yuan transmitted telepathically.

"."

Nalan You was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and his breathing became rapid:

"You... you."

Then,

Nalan You suddenly laughed:

"You seem to know something, but you shouldn't be talking so much."

"Xu Changtian, stop right now!!!"

A tremendous aura descended, poised to send Xu Yuan flying.

Xu Yuan didn't even glance at the newcomer, and directly dispersed the Saintly Soul Power surrounding him.

Upon seeing this, the second-rank expert who was rushing over instantly turned his eyes wide with rage and quickly controlled his aura to change direction.

The next moment,

"Boom!!!!!"

Just as this immense aura was about to descend upon Xu Yuan, it suddenly veered off course, striking the Dragon Plain River beside Clear Jade Pavilion and creating a massive wave.

Once the aura subsided, the Saint's soul power surged forth again, Xu Yuan flicked his hand upwards, gripping the Clear Speech Sword.

To Nalan You's astonishment, his head flew off.

Xu Yuan smiled calmly and said:

"Really, what makes you think the City Defense Bureau officers would dare to attack me?"

"You bastard!!"

Accompanied by a surprised yet furious voice, a towering figure appeared behind Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan slowly turned his eyes and gave a French military salute:

"Commander Tang, it's been two years, and your temper is still as explosive as ever?"

Commander Tang's knuckles crackled as he stared at the dude in front of him:

"This man is the sixth prince of the Great Desert Royal Court, someone His Majesty personally invited. You just killed him like that?!"

Xu Yuan composed himself, staring at the imposing man, his eyes gradually widening in astonishment. He opened his mouth, then said:

"What?"

"."

Commander Tang raised his hand, and with a "boom," it appeared beside Xu Yuan, the shockwave almost making Xu Yuan had dissipated his Saintly Soul Power, lose his footing.

"Xu Changtian, do you really think no one dares to kill you?!"

Xu Yuan took a step back and pointed at Nalan You's head:

Yes, he dares to do it.

As he spoke, Xu Yuan exaggerated:

"One of his third-rank Grandmaster threw a boulder several meters long at my Iron Body. If my men hadn't reacted quickly and blocked it for me, Commander Tang, you probably wouldn't be seeing me now."

Commander Tang's towering body trembled with rage.

"Xu Changtian, I will investigate this matter thoroughly."

Xu Yuan nodded and smiled:

"So, Commander Tang, will you still be escorting me back to my residence today?"

"Return to the manor?"

Just then, a delicate voice rang out from the sky. "Xu Changtian, with such destruction, come back to the Imperial Edict Prison with me!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan looked up at the sky.

A woman dressed in the red Qilin official robe of the Secret Investigation Bureau descended from the sky and slowly landed in front of Xu Yuan, her phoenix eyes staring at him with a cold light.

The Secret Investigation Bureau is responsible for cases involving cultivators of the Great Yan Sect, so the extent of the damage caused tonight naturally falls under their jurisdiction.

Xu Yuan looked at the woman in front of him and realized that she was an old acquaintance.

The precious darling of the Imperial Capital's Secret Investigation Bureau, a genius from humble beginnings.

He was an upright man and had always wanted to catch this spoiled brat, but unfortunately, he couldn't do anything about it.

The past flashed before his eyes, and Xu Yuan smiled:

"Xu Mengxi, it's been two years, and you've actually reached the third rank!"

Xu Mengxi gave him a cold glance:

"Stop grinning like that."

Xu Yuan shrugged:

"Is a routine greeting considered joking around?"

Xu Mengxi took out two iron wristbands, resembling bracelets, from the bag on her back:

"Shut up, you'll have your say when we get back to the Imperial Edict Prison."

Xu Yuan sighed:

"Mengxi, we're supposed to be from the same clan, why do you always try to capture me every time we meet?"

Xu Mengxi gripped the sword at her waist and stared at Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan glanced at Commander Tang beside him, who stared at him coldly.

Xu Yuan glanced at the sky again.

The Imperial Capital's Secret Investigation Bureau also sent a second-rank Origin Beginning, along with six or seven other experts from the City Defense Bureau and the Secret Investigation Bureau.

At this moment, the seven guards who were fighting in the sky have all been brought under control.

The commotion tonight was truly enormous.

Reaching out, the iron wrist snapped shut, and the Source Qi within Xu Yuan's body momentarily stagnated.

This thing can slow down the flow of Source Qi to some extent, and it is quite expensive to make.

Let's go.

Xu Mengxi gave Xu Yuan a cold look. "Xu Changtian, you've gotten yourself into big trouble this time for killing an envoy from another country without authorization."

Xu Yuan sized her up for a moment, then smiled and glanced sideways at Xu Mengxi in front of him:

"It's useless.

"Xu Mengxi, do you believe it or not, in a few days the Minister of Justice of your Imperial Edict Prison will personally escort me out of prison?"

It's a bit late.
