The Cloud Soaring Emperor's Overwhelming Majesty
Cang Song suddenly grabbed a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, leaving everyone stunned.
The Situ Family didn't understand why Zhang Yang's men were arresting their retainer. Had they offended him in some way?
Zhang Yang, however, did not suspect Cang Song and asked, "Is there something wrong with him?"
Cang Song said calmly, "He was just transmitting his thoughts to this Nascent Soul Spiritual Sense cultivator sent by the emperor, but he couldn't hide it from my senses."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.
The Situ Family stared in disbelief at the captured Nascent Soul. They couldn't understand why their trusted retainer would betray them.
"You old scoundrel, you're framing me! When have I ever sent a message to anyone else?" the captured Nascent Soul wailed, displaying the grief and indignation of being wrongly accused. "If I were to transmit a message through my Spiritual Sense, how come Qin Keqing, as Primordial Spirit Realm, didn't sense it at all?"
The Nascent Soul sent by the emperor also looked displeased and coldly said, "Although I don't know what your Situ Family is up to, if anyone has wronged me, don't blame me for being impolite."
Situ Haonan Soul Nascent Soul, then turned to Qin Yushu: "Senior Qin, did you sense him sending a message to someone else?"
Qin Yushu honestly shook his head. He hesitated for a moment and said, "However, my Daoist skills are not as profound as this senior's. Perhaps the senior can discover what I have not discovered."
Although it was just capturing a Nascent Soul, Qin Yushu admitted that he couldn't achieve the effortless ease with which a Nascent Soul Realm could render them powerless.
Situ Haonan keenly grasped the word "senior" in Qin Yushu's words, and stared blankly at Cang Song, speechless.
Instead, the Nascent Soul Realm who had been captured shouted angrily, "Everyone heard it! Even Qin Keqing, a Primordial Spirit Realm, couldn't sense it, so why could this person...?"
As he spoke, his expression froze.
Just now, Qin Yushu addressed this old man as "senior"?
The seniors who are called Primordial Spirit Realm...
The Dao Integration Realm!
The moment this thought crossed his mind, the Nascent Soul Realm broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly cried out, "Lu Qian, save me!"
The Nascent Soul Realm sent by the emperor also realized Cang Song's cultivation level, his face turned pale, and he didn't dare to say a word.
If a Dao Integration Realm were to arrive in person, any unusual actions he might take would have no other effect.
Zhang Yang glanced at the Nascent Soul Realm lying on the ground, then looked at Situ Mingyue and said indifferently, "It's a pity to kill a Nascent Soul like this. Tie him up, I'll take him back to the sect to see if he's useful. If not, I'll feed him to the fish! My fish like to eat cultivators, maybe I can catch one from a Nascent Soul Realm."
"Yes, Eldest Senior Brother!" Situ Mingyue smiled happily.
This time, her Eldest Senior Brother brought Dao Integration Realm to rescue her, so she definitely has no other problems.
Zhang Yang looked at Lu Qian, the Nascent Soul Realm sent by the emperor, and ordered, "Let's go, your emperor is waiting for me to have an audience!"
"Please!" Lu Qian bowed and gestured, his previous arrogant demeanor completely gone.
On the way to the palace, Cang Song looked at Zhang Yang, swallowed hard, and asked, "You like to eat fish that belong to cultivators... Could it be Rainbow Fish? Are Rainbow Fish in your Azure Cloud Sect?"
The Rainbow Fish he'd been searching for so long, it turns out it was taken back by the Azure Cloud Sect?
Thinking of Azure Cloud Master's Tribulation Transcendence Realm, and the deep pit in the depths of Cloud Dream Marsh... he felt both amused and exasperated.
Who would have thought that Rainbow Fish would be dug up by Azure Cloud Master and taken back to the Azure Cloud Sect?
Zhang Yang glanced at the Cang Song tree and asked, "With your profound cultivation, you still can't give up your appetite?"
Cang Song chuckled, "It's absolutely delicious! I've had it once and I can't forget it... How about you give me some when we get back?"
"Sure, sure. After you've done this for me, I'll go fishing for you when we get back." Zhang Yang agreed.
Led by Lu Qian, Zhang Yang and Cang Song entered the palace and met Emperor Lu Bingnian of the Cloud Soaring Empire in the main hall.
Lu Bingnian stared at Zhang Yang and asked coldly, "Your Azure Cloud Sect has quite the audacity to trespass into our Cloud Soaring Empire?"
Lu Qian frantically tried to signal to the emperor with his eyes, but the emperor didn't even look at him at the moment.
He dared not use his Spiritual Sense to communicate with the Dao Integration Realm expert in front of him, so he could only say tactfully, "Your Majesty, this is Zhang Yang, the successor of the Azure Cloud Sect, and also a senior from the Azure Cloud Sect."
He's given such a clear hint, surely the emperor understood?
Lu Bingnian sneered, "I know they are all from the Azure Cloud Sect, but does that mean people from the Azure Cloud Sect can interfere in the affairs of our Cloud Soaring Empire?"
He had already heard Nangong Qiyu say that apart from Azure Cloud Master, the others in the Azure Cloud Sect were not worth mentioning at all.
Azure Cloud Master cannot leave the Azure Cloud Sect, so there's no need to worry.
Since that's the case, is there any need to be polite to the Azure Cloud Sect?
Therefore, he immediately gave Zhang Yang a hard time.
Zhang Yang glanced at the emperor, then turned to Lu Qian and said calmly, "I'm ready to see how he performs. If you dare to make any move, you're dead!"
Lu Qian broke out in a cold sweat instantly, lowered his head, and dared not speak.
Seeing this, Lu Bingnian flew into a rage and slammed his fist on the table. "How dare you threaten my people! You really don't take me seriously. Your Azure Cloud Sect is indeed very powerful, but this is not what it used to be."
This is my Cloud Soaring Empire. Anyone who dares to act recklessly will be made to pay the price.
As the emperor roared in anger, three Nascent Soul cultivators appeared before the crowd like ghostly figures, surrounding Zhang Yang and Cang Song.
Zhang Yang gazed at the emperor for a moment before asking calmly, "Your Majesty, do you remember the name of this continent?"
"I know this place is called Azure Cloud Continent, so what?" Lu Bingnian sneered. "Now, I rule this place; this is my kingdom!"
Zhang Yang sighed and said, "I don't mean to deny your Cloud Soaring Empire. What I want to ask is, the Langya Sacred Land is inhabited by people from another continent. They came here with the intention of causing trouble for us. Do you understand?"
Lu Bingnian laughed, "You mean the Situ Family? A mere Situ Family, they are just hounds kept by my royal family. They should obey the orders of my royal family."
Besides, it's their good fortune that the Langya Sacred Land has taken a liking to the Situ Family's daughter.
These scoundrels not only don't know what's good for them, but they actually dare to disobey my orders, so naturally I won't be polite to them."
Zhang Yang's face darkened, and he said indifferently, "The Situ Family members are mentally unstable. No matter how you deal with them, they deserve it. However, Situ Mingyue is a disciple of my Azure Cloud Sect."
For thousands of years, my Azure Cloud Sect has never interfered in your worldly affairs. In fact, when you ask us for help, we often offer assistance.
I never expected you to be so audacious. Not only do you dare to interfere in the Azure Cloud Sect's affairs, but you even genuinely believe that you, as the emperor, are the most powerful person in the world.
Lu Bingnian suddenly stood up, pointed at Zhang Yang, and shouted, "The Azure Cloud Sect is nothing but a joke that has lasted for a thousand years; it's no longer what it used to be. Besides, we, Cloud Soaring, are preparing to pledge allegiance to the Langya Sacred Land. With the Langya Sacred Land as our backer, what can your Azure Cloud Sect do to us?"
