Chapter 672: Don’t You Want This Era to Belong to You?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Near the Blackheaven Sect, Princess Bi Zhu, accompanied by Qiao Yi, continued their journey toward the Blackheaven Sect.

“Princess, how can you be sure that person is in the Blackheaven Sect?” Qiao Yi asked.

“I’m not certain but exploring it might be a good idea. I heard there are opportunities there, and you might benefit from it as well. As for the people from the Mountain Sea Sword Sect, there’s no need for us to search for them. They’ll come to the Blackheaven Sect themselves,” Bi Zhu said with a smile.

Qiao Yi didn’t question her words. So far, the princess hadn’t shown her true power, but the information she received was always accurate.

However, she still wanted to see for herself what it was like when the princess was in action.

Before they could discuss further, Qiao Yi brought up another matter. “Prince Bi You was asking when you would be returning to the palace…” “Why is my second brother suddenly looking for me?” Bi Zhu was puzzled.

“He probably thinks Imperial City is safer now, especially after the purges that took place recently,” Qiao Yi said.

During those events, there were traitors, and many people were implicated. Numerous individuals were thrown into jail, and most of them had their cultivation stripped off and were exiled.

With the sudden reduction in the number of people, various regions became chaotic. Some were even trying to create conflict.

The princess staying out of the city was somewhat dangerous, especially considering that she was an ordinary person.

Bi Zhu was a typical example of such a person. She was older and couldn’t even find a husband.

“It’s because of the recent great purge that I don’t want to go back. The stench of blood is too heavy there.” Bi Zhu shook her head. “You can tell him that we’re on a sightseeing trip and will return in some time. Don’t let him worry too much.”

Qiao Yi could only nod her head. She couldn’t do much when it came to the princess.

Fortunately, this time, she was accompanying the princess. In the past, she wandered around on her own.

Suddenly, Bi Zhu stopped and looked to the side. Qiao Yi was about to speak, but they saw several flying swords appear.

Each sword emitted a chilling aura that sent shivers down one’s spine.

“Mountain Sea Sword Sect.” Bi Zhu was surprised.

She hadn’t seen members of this sect so far. The north and south were very far apart, and with her cultivation realm, she couldn’t travel far.

“All these people are extraordinary.” Qiao Yi could sense their power.

“Let’s follow them and find out what’s going on with Yin Zichen,” Bi Zhu said with interest.

Finally, she could find out more about the situation.

“Are you going to ask them?” Qiao Yi was a little puzzled.

“Of course not. Let’s see where they’re headed. We’ll follow them and then make contact with one or two of them to ask about it. It’s easier for them to answer with fewer people around,” Bi Zhu said with a smile.

Qiao Yi nodded.

After talking with Feng Hua, Jiang Hao tidied up his surroundings.

He collected the chair and the formation, and he transformed back into his normal appearance. He stored the fan in his storage treasure.

“Sister-in-law…

As Jiang Hao was about to explain everything to Hong Yuye, Xiao Li suddenly woke up. She was groggy.

This surprised Jiang Hao, and he was taken aback.

“Xiao Li had a brother and sister-in-law at her parent’s place,” said Jiang Hao hurriedly.

Hong Yuye raised an eyebrow. Her gaze shifted from Xiao Li to Jiang Hao.

“What is her brother called? Does her sister-in-law treat her well?”

“Well, I don’t know much about that,” Jiang Hao said in a hushed tone. “Xiao Li’s family matters are private, and don’t get involved too much.”

Hong Yuye was calm. Jiang Hao didn’t know what she might be thinking. “The Grand Earth Emperor is about to appear,” she suddenly said.

“In the Blackheaven Sect?” Jiang Hao asked.

He had only speculated before, but now that Hong Yuye had spoken, it meant that the Grand Earth Emperor was undoubtedly going to make an appearance.

“Aren’t you going to check it out?” Hong Yuye asked.

“It’s too dangerous.” Jiang Hao shook his head.

“Where on earth is safe for you?” Hong Yuye asked while rising from her seat and heading to the corner.

She pulled out the cracked Half-Moon Blade he had impaled there in the corner.

The question had been on Jiang Hao’s mind for a long time. Where on earth was safe for him?

It seemed that there was no safe place for him. The four regions and the overseas regions each had their own challenges.

He had been to the East, traveled overseas, and finally felt that the Heavenly Note Sect was where he most wanted to stay. Although there were dangers here, he had the strength to defend himself.

He thought about it for a long time. “The Heavenly Note Sect is much safer.”

“Are you planning to hide here your whole life?” Hong Yuye put away the sword.

Jiang Hao lowered his head. “I still have a very low cultivation realm. I haven’t thought that far ahead.”

He had been on the path to become stronger, avoid danger, and solve crises. He hadn’t thought much about the future because the present was what mattered most.

After a long silence, Hong Yuye asked Jiang Hao to carry Xiao Li away on his back.

Jiang Hao carried Xiao Li and walked to her house. Hong Yuye walked alongside him.

“Senior, what will happen when the Grand Earth Emperor appears? How would that compare to the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment?” Jiang Hao asked on the way.

“There’s no comparison. The current Grand Earth Emperor will be different from the previous ones.” Hong Yuye shook her head.

Jiang Hao understood that the commotion caused by the Grand Earth Emperor might not be as loud as the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, but the event would be less susceptible to attacks.

“But the Grand Earth Emperor is a.s.sociated with something,” Hong Yuye said.

“The Human Emperor Sword?” Jiang Hao asked.

The Xuanyuan Sword was the weapon of the previous Human Emperor.

The Nine Nether of the Fallen Immortal Clan and the Saint Bandits of the Heavenly Spirit Tribe had both lost to the Human Emperor.

“You don’t use a sword?” Hong Yuye asked.

“Only occasionally,” Jiang Hao said.

He had the Primordial Heavenly Blade, so he didn’t really need to be interested in any other sword. Besides, he couldn’t control high-level swords.

Hong Yuye walked alongside him. They continued down the path by the river.

“Hold onto the Xuanyuan Sword, and you might leave a mark on this era.” Hong Yuye turned to the person beside her.

Jiang Hao shook his head. He walked lightly so as not to wake Xiao Li on his back. “I don’t need to leave a mark on this era.”

“The Human Emperor represents that era; it’s his time,” Hong Yuye said seriously. “Don’t you want this time to remember you?”

“I have no such ambitions,” Jiang Hao said without hesitation.

Hong Yuye smiled. “When I was your age, my ambitions almost reached the heavens.”

“You had extraordinary talent, while I’m just an ordinary inner disciple of the sect. I can’t compare to you,” Jiang Hao said respectfully.

“Is that so?” Hong Yuye said plainly.

The two fell silent and continued on their journey. They moved away from the river.

Xiao Li’s house was still some distance away from their current location.

“Aren’t you worried about being seen?” Jiang Hao asked.

Hong Yuye looked at him but didn’t say anything. She appeared skeptical of the question.

“How old is Xiao Li?” Hong Yuye suddenly asked.

“Twenty-three,” Jiang Hao said. “If you go by her parents’ words and consider her age in human years, she’s around twenty-three.”

“In all these years, she hasn’t grown at all,” Hong Yuye said as she gazed at Xiao Li on Jiang Hao’s back.

“That’s true. Her weight, height, and mental state haven’t changed.” Jiang Hao nodded. He occasionally checked on her and had also asked the spirit beast about it.

Over a decade spent with Xiao Li seemed like the blink of an eye. Xiao Li was truly a member of the Dragon Clan.

At the Lawless Tower, Yinsha looked at the two prisoners in front of her in confusion.

One appeared to be elderly and was clearly a formidable figure from the Heavenly Tower. The other, in his thirties, was not found in their records.

“Who is this person?” Yinsha asked.

“I don’t know,” said a fellow sect member beside her. “According to the information, it seems his surname is Yin, but for more details, we’d need you to investigate, Senior Sister Yinsha.”

Yinsha inspected them for a moment. She then frowned. “He’s not… human.

Like Nangong Yue, he belongs to the Heavenly Spirit Tribe..”
