The old man's gaze turned blurry when he recalled the incident in the past.
Previously, when King Qian was out hunting, he was ambushed by an assassin. Since the powerhouses around King Qian had gone to deal with the powerhouses among the assassins, there were not many people around King Qian. As the coachman, he was there as well.
At that time, one of the assassins attacked King Qian with his sword.
At that moment, he made a timely move and blocked the sword for King Qian, saving King Qian's life.
Subsequently, the powerhouses around King Qian killed the other assassins and killed the assassin.
At that time, he was heavily injured and on the brink of death.
However, due to King Qian's importance, a grade four Saint Refinement Master from the Windfall Nation's Imperial Family saved him from the jaws of death.
At that time, King Qian summoned him and made a promise to him. He promised that he would fulfill any request within his capabilities, no matter what it was.
At that time, he only thanked King Qian for his kindness. He did not take the promise to heart.
Previously, when King Qian was attacked by an assassin, Duan Ling Tian had just recovered from his heavy injuries. Fear rose in his heart because he knew the Fourth Imperial Highness, King Qian, was someone who had ambitions for the throne. He would frequently encounter similar assassinations in the future.
As for him, he only had one life left, so he only wanted to protect himself.
Under such circumstances, he resigned from King Qian and left the capital of Windfall Nation. He settled down at the southern border of Windfall Nation. In the end, he even formed a bandit gang and led a comfortable life.
Before he left, King Qian had told him that the promise he made would always be valid.
Initially, he thought he would never have to use that promise. However, it did not cross his mind that his third brother would be killed by a mysterious powerhouse. It was only when he realized he might not be a match for the mysterious powerhouse that he recalled the promise the Fourth Imperial Highness, King Qian, had made to him.
Due to this reason, he decided to return to the capital and use the promise King Qian made to him.
However, he was unlucky. Although he entered King Qian's estate, he was told that King Qian was in closed-door cultivation. For this reason, he could only wait in the guest room in the side hall.
He had waited until today when King Qian finally came out of closed-door cultivation. When he found out he was here, he sent someone to pick him up and summon him.
Under the guidance of the middle-aged man, the old man soon arrived at the main hall of King Qian's estate.
At the entrance of the main hall, there were ten armored soldiers standing straight. Their faces were grave and stern, and their gazes were as sharp as blades. They gave off an invisible sense of oppression.
"Your Highness, Ye Mu Bai is here."
The middle-aged man stood outside the main hall and spoke respectfully.
"Mu Bai is here? Bring him in. "
At the same time, a hearty laughter came from the main hall. The laughter sounded very kind, but the old man, who was also 'Ye Mu Bai', knew clearly that this was definitely a formidable person.
He was polite to him. Although it was because he was grateful for saving his life back then, it was more to show off to his subordinates.
After all, King Qian did not want anyone to know that he was an ungrateful person.
After walking into the main hall, Ye Mu Bai finally saw the Fourth Imperial Highness, King Qian, again after so many years. However, he noticed that King Qian was no longer the young man he used to be. The current King Qian had the aura of a superior.
The strength of the imposing aura brought a certain amount of pressure to him.
Ye Mu Bai could not help but sigh inwardly. Time really flies. In just a blink of an eye, so many years had passed.
"Greetings, Fourth Imperial Highness."
After Ye Mu Bai entered, he immediately kneeled down and bowed humbly.
"Mu Bai, you're my savior. There's no need for you to be so courteous. Quickly, get up."
The Fourth Imperial Highness, also known as King Qian, was a middle-aged man dressed in a long golden robe. He had a kind expression on his face, and he had a pair of tiger-like eyes that exuded an awe-inspiring aura. With a raise of his hand, an invisible energy extended out and lifted Ye Mu Bai up.
When Ye Mu Bai sensed this energy, he could not help but feel shocked.
Even if the Fourth Imperial Highness was not at the Saint Stage, he was most likely at the Imminent Saint Stage!
As someone who had walked out of King Qian's estate, he still had a discerning eye.
"Thank you, Fourth Imperial Highness."
After Ye Mu Bai was lifted up, he thanked King Qian respectfully.
"Mu Bai, I heard you came back this time to ask for my help?"
King Qian asked with a smile.
"Yes."
Ye Mu Bai nodded. "The reason I came back this time is because I need your help. After this matter, I'll definitely not disturb you, Fourth Imperial Highness."
"Mu Bai, you're too polite. You're my savior. Back then, I've already promised you that I'll do anything within my power. Many years have passed, and you still haven't returned. I thought you've forgotten about that promise. It seems like you haven't forgotten about it after all. "
King Qian still had a smile on his face. "Tell me, what do you want my help with this time?"
"Fourth Imperial Highness, I want you to help me get rid of a person."
Ye Mu Bai took a deep breath and replied after a long while.
"Oh?"
King Qian's eyes gleamed before he nodded. "As long as I have the ability to help you get rid of him, I won't refuse. Tell me, who is he?"
"Actually, I don't know who he is as well."
Ye Mu Bai smiled wryly.
Upon hearing this, King Qian frowned immediately. A hint of displeasure flashed in the depth of his eyes.
"How dare you!"
At this moment, the two old men standing behind King Qian and the middle-aged man standing beside Ye Mu Bai suddenly shouted out loud.
Two extremely powerful auras suddenly extended from the two old men's bodies and swept toward Ye Mu Bai. After a while, Ye Mu Bai's body began to tremble from the pressure.
This powerful aura almost suffocated Ye Mu Bai.
At this moment, Ye Mu Bai could confirm that these two old men were Saint Stage powerhouses.
As King Qian raised his hand, the two old men finally withdrew the powerful aura that was emitted from their bodies.
"Mu Bai, even you don't know who he is. How am I supposed to help you?"
King Qian asked as he looked at Ye Mu Bai. The smile on his face had also faded.
"Fourth Imperial Highness, it's my fault. I didn't finish my sentence in one breath. Although I don't know who he is, I have his portrait in my hand. Moreover, I know he came to the capital some time ago. "
Ye Mu Bai who was secretly wiping away his cold sweat hastily added.
"Some time ago?"
King Qian frowned. "In other words, you don't know whether he's still in the capital or not?"
"Yes."
Ye Mu Bai nodded. Soon after, he continued to say, "Fourth Imperial Highness, if that person is still in the capital, I'd like you to help me get rid of him because he killed someone very important to me. If he's no longer in the capital, I can only blame myself for being unlucky. I won't trouble you again in the future, Fourth Imperial Highness."
One must admit that Ye Mu Bai's words had the profundity of 'taking a step back in order to advance'.
"Since that's the case, leave that person's portrait behind. Return to the guest room in the side hall and wait for the good news … This prince will definitely do his best for this matter. Not for anything else, but to repay you for saving my life in the past."
King Qian said.
"Yes."
After Ye Mu Bai left the portrait behind, he was led away by the middle-aged man who brought him here.
At the same time, King Qian opened the portrait in his hand and saw a handsome young man with dashing eyebrows and bright eyes.
'Ye Mu Bai is really getting worse and worse. To think that such a young man actually has to use up the promise I made to him in the past!'
Naturally, King Qian only said these words in his heart.
"Fourth Imperial Highness, there's a person outside who claims to be the Sect Leader of Dark Nether Sect."
When King Qian put away the portrait in his hand, the voice of the gatekeeper resonated from outside.
"The Sect Leader of Dark Nether Sect, Ye Feng, requests to see the Fourth Imperial Highness!"
At the same time, an energetic voice resonated from outside. The voice contained the True Origin and entered the main hall in just a blink of an eye.
"It's a Saint Stage powerhouse."
At this moment, the two old men behind King Qian looked at each other and nodded before replying to King Qian.
Since the voice contained the True Origin that only Saint Stage powerhouses possessed, they could tell it was a Saint Stage powerhouse just by listening to the voice.
"The Sect Leader of Dark Nether Sect? Why is he here? "
King Qian raised an eyebrow as he muttered to himself curiously. Then, he stood up and walked out of the hall. As he walked, he smiled as he said, "It's an honor for Sect Leader Ye Feng to visit my King Qian's estate."
A Saint Stage powerhouse was qualified enough for him to personally welcome them.
When King Qian walked out of the hall, the two old men behind him followed him out as well.
"Fourth Imperial Highness."
Outside the main hall, the travel-worn Ye Feng bowed at King Qian. A hint of exhaustion could be seen on his face.
"Sect Leader Ye Feng, you're …"
King Qian was stunned when he saw Ye Feng's wretched appearance.
He had met the Sect Leader of Dark Nether Sect once before. However, at that time, the Sect Leader was in high spirits. This time, however, he looked like a stray dog.
"It's a long story. Fourth Imperial Highness, let's talk inside. "
Ye Feng sighed.
"Alright."
King Qian nodded and beckoned Ye Feng to enter the main hall. He sat down again and gestured for Ye Feng to sit on the lower seat.
"Sect Leader Ye Feng, you're the Sect Leader of Dark Nether Sect. You're so well-regarded. Why are you in such a wretched state?"
King Qian asked curiously as he looked at Ye Feng.
"Fourth Imperial Highness, we'll talk about this later. Before that, I'd like to ask you a question."
Ye Feng looked at King Qian.
"What question?"
King Qian was curious.
"Fourth Imperial Highness, do you know about the Devilseal Tablet?"
Ye Feng's expression turned solemn as he looked at King Qian.
The Devilseal Tablet!
Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, not only King Qian, but even the two old men behind King Qian had a change of expression.
Naturally, they were no stranger to the Devilseal Tablet.
Even in the entire Dao Martial Saint Land, these three words reverberated like thunder in everyone's ears.
