"In these hundreds of thousands of years, the number of people who have died here, or the Extraterrestrial Demons, has exceeded at least a hundred billion!" The man in white took a deep breath. "Even a high-level Saint may die here at any time … Her Highness is of noble status, and she is also the only descendant of His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor of Purple Clouds … We can't afford to lose her! So, you can't go over. "
Zi Xieqing was really helpless. Before she revealed her identity, you guys wanted it. Now that she had one, you guys actually refused to let me go. Even though she knew that the people in front of her had good intentions, she still couldn't let it go.
"It's like this …" Chu Yang touched his nose and smiled bitterly. With his many years of experience, he could tell that among the three people, this man in white was someone similar to Mo Tianji. At the very least, he was at Xie Danqiong's level. And the other two belonged to Dong Wushang and Ji Mo's character …
Well, I don't care about anything. Anyway, there's someone who can make the decision. We just have to fight …
So, Chu Yang directly filtered out the other two people. He said to the man in white, "It's like this … Her Highness is His Majesty's posthumous child … Well, there's a reason why His Majesty fought the Extraterrestrial Demons until his death … So, His Majesty set the date of birth to hundreds of thousands of years later. Only recently did she know of her identity and origin …"
The man in white nodded. "I understand, I understand." He sighed. "Back then, Purple Clouds Heavens fought alone. It's a big mystery. His Majesty was able to make preparations in advance, which can be considered as preparing for a rainy day … I completely understand, I completely understand."
Chu Yang had a whole new level of respect for him.
This guy's IQ was really not low.
This was probably what they meant by listening to the sound of the strings, wasn't it?
"So, about Her Highness's identity …" Chu Yang said.
"This definitely needs to be kept a secret." The man in white nodded again. "Please rest assured. Today's matter, including Her Highness's identity, will definitely not be leaked from the three of us!"
Chu Yang nodded. "I believe in your promise. It's just that I mentioned earlier that Her Highness only knew of her identity recently, so she wanted to come to Purple Clouds Heavens … Not to …"
"Understood. It's human nature." The man in white nodded in understanding and continued on Chu Yang's behalf. "Your Highness isn't really here to participate in the battle, nor is she here to train, nor is she here to take back the Purple Cloud Heavens. She's only here to pay homage to her ancestors, to see the place where her father fought in the past, and to see her own hometown …"
Chu Yang nodded, "You're absolutely right, so …"
"That's why we should let you go and fulfill your wish." The man in white nodded. "I understand what you're saying, but we still can't let you pass."
Chu Yang couldn't help but get angry. He was so angry that his nose was crooked. [Brother Qing has said so much, but it's purely a waste of saliva. Why are you like this? Why are you so unreasonable? "
"It's not that I'm unreasonable … but if something happens to Her Highness, no one can bear the responsibility!" The man in white said seriously, "After crossing the first bridge, there are still twenty-seven thousand miles to go until we reach the Purple Imperial City!"
"Back then, His Majesty the Celestial Emperor specially chose the location of the Purple Imperial City at the edge of the Purple Cloud Heavens."
"Do you know how many Heavenly Demons we might encounter during this twenty-seven thousand miles journey? How many battles will we have to go through? What price will we have to pay? Let me tell you … for so many years, no one on our side has ever been able to kill their way to the Purple Imperial City. "
The man in white sighed deeply. "How can we not understand Her Highness' feelings? Could it be that we are really that heartless? If it's possible, even if we have to risk our lives, we'll still escort Her Highness there! "
"Even if all of us die, as long as we can ensure Her Highness' safety, we'll be happy to do it."
"We even more hope to let the heroic spirits of this land know that the bloodline of His Majesty the Celestial Emperor they're loyal to has returned safely. We even more hope that the heroic spirit of His Majesty the Purple Cloud Celestial Emperor can accept the worship of his direct bloodline. This is tantamount to reuniting the Purple Cloud Celestial Emperor and his daughter. We understand!"
The man in white sighed deeply. "But the problem now is … We don't have the confidence, not at all! We don't even have the confidence to escort Her Highness to the old site of the Purple Imperial City safely … We don't even have the confidence to escort Her Highness back from the Purple Imperial City! "
"Do you understand if I put it this way?"
Chu Yang was completely silent. The other party's words were very straightforward, but completely irrefutable!
"It's human nature for Her Highness to be anxious to pay respects to her father. Besides, we've been fighting on this land for tens of thousands of years … Our feelings may not be much better than Her Highness' feelings right now."
"But it's precisely because of this that we can't bear any harm that Her Highness may suffer … Even if she loses a single strand of hair, to people like us, it's a great sin and a dereliction of duty!"
The man in white said seriously, "We understand all of you, but we also hope … that you can also understand us."
Chu Yang realized miserably that not only did he not manage to convince this man in white, he was about to be convinced by him instead … He seemed to have only felt this kind of feeling from Mo Tianji in the past.
"May I know your name?" Chu Yang asked seriously.
"Xuanyuan." The man in white smiled. "Xuanyuan Changkong."
Chu Yang pondered for a moment and said, "Xuanyuan Changkong … Hmm, a good name. Why do I seem to have heard this name before …"
Actually, due to the long history of this name, Chu Yang had never heard of it at all. When the sword spirit first introduced it, it only introduced the names of the previous masters of the Tribulations Sword. It did not introduce the specific identities of the previous Tribulations in detail.
Therefore, Chu Yang had never heard of this name before.
But Chu Yang still firmly believed that this person must be one of the previous Tribulations.
He frowned as if he was deep in thought.
Xuanyuan Changkong was obviously interested in his appearance. He said, "You've heard of me … That's impossible, right? Our names have never spread outside the Heaven Imperial Court … "
Chu Yang frowned and thought hard. "Not in the Heaven Imperial Court … I think I've heard of it in my hometown … Really … But why can't I remember at this moment …"
Xuanyuan Changkong's expression suddenly changed. He said somewhat excitedly, "Your hometown? Where's your hometown? "
The other two people's faces also glowed red. They looked at Chu Yang expectantly.
Chu Yang said indifferently, "My hometown … is in the Heaven Imperial Court … Hmm, have you heard of that place?"
This sentence was simply nonsense.
But Chu Yang was afraid that if he directly pointed out the key point, the misunderstandings between the previous masters of the Tribulations Sword and Tribulations had not been resolved yet. He was afraid that it would cause unnecessary trouble … For example, the person he just met …
So, it was necessary to beat around the bush, even if the way was quite melodramatic!
But so what if it was melodramatic? As long as it was effective!
"Heaven Imperial Court!" The three people shouted at the same time. The man in white was muttering in a low voice, but the other two were simply excited. "You're all people who ascended from the Heaven Imperial Court?"
"Hmm, it's the two of you?"
These two were, of course, referring to Chu Yang and Mo Qingwu.
"Yes, yes." Chu Yang nodded honestly. "I'm from the Lower Three Heavens of the Heaven Imperial Court … My mother is from the martial arts clans of the Lower Three Heavens of the Heaven Imperial Court."
"Fellow countryman!" The two men in gold almost shed tears. They grabbed Chu Yang's hand and looked fervent. "So we're from the same hometown … Brother, we were originally from the Heaven Imperial Court …"
"Such a coincidence?" Chu Yang's face was full of surprise, even more pretentious.
"Pfft … Cough, cough, cough …" Mo Qingwu almost couldn't hold back her laughter. She hurriedly covered her mouth and pretended to cough, but it was very fake.
"How's the Heaven Imperial Court now … What's it like now …" The two men in gold surrounded Chu Yang and asked urgently.
The man in white was a little helpless about this, but he didn't stop them. His face was still calm, but he also perked up his ears to listen …
A single person was actually chatting on the first bridge.
As they chatted, the three people invited them warmly. "Come, come, come … Let's go to our place and have a good chat … Sigh, I haven't been back to the Heaven Imperial Court for tens of thousands of years … I really miss home …"
They actually led the three people forward just like that.
Zi Xieqing followed beside Chu Yang with a straight face. She only felt that her heart was so ridiculous that she wanted to laugh.
The other party was clearly so determined just now, but the mention of the Heaven Imperial Court completely changed their minds.
They actually allowed them to enter their tent.
Although there was still a possibility that they would be politely sent out after catching up, after all, there was already a buffer. To Zi Xieqing and Chu Yang, with this buffer, it was equivalent to a big step forward!
With a good start, perhaps the rest of the matters would be much easier to handle!
Chu Yang and the other two followed the three people of the previous generation and walked forward for about a thousand feet. Suddenly, their field of vision widened a lot. They realized that the bridge here actually extended out horizontally by a large section, and on the extra section of the bridge, there stood a fortress. There was only a passageway below this fortress.
Above the passageway, there were actually rooms …
Chu Yang couldn't help but feel dizzy.
Such a design was really f * cking original and unique, a work of the gods!
No matter who wanted to pass through here, the people here only needed to wait at ease. When there was nothing to do, they could even sleep, rest, or practice martial arts in their rooms. When there was something to do, they could just come down and hold the fort. The only requirement was that you were a martial artist and could fly, and that was enough …
