"Brother Yan Shun, let's go. Let's go meet princess Tai 'an and the fifth prince as soon as possible." Jianchen's eyes became brighter and brighter after listening to the prince's introduction to the princess and the fifth prince. In the end, he seemed even more anxious than the prince as he hurried off.
He was extremely worried about his old friends in the southern region, but he was trapped in the northern region now, unable to leave at all. Now that princess Tai 'an and the fifth prince, who possessed great status in the Xi dynasty, had come to visit, Jianchen saw a sliver of hope in leaving the northern region.
Under the prince's lead, Jianchen passed through resplendent halls one after another. In the end, he arrived at a majestic hall in the centre of the imperial palace.
As soon as he entered the hall, Jianchen saw a man and a woman. They were young people who seemed to be in their twenties. They currently sat in the hall and conversed with the emperor of the Xuandao at ease.
The woman possessed a beauty that could outshine the moon and put flowers to shame. She radiated with a noble bearing from head to toe. She was otherworldly, such that no one dared to profane her.
On the other hand, the young man was upright and plainspoken instead. His eyes were brimming with spirit, and his words and actions naturally revealed a dignified aura. Moreover, he even carried a wisp of decisiveness that couldn't be questioned, causing him to possess the bearing of an emperor.
Moreover, the aura of an emperor vaguely appeared from him, and the intent of a true dragon revolved around him.
"No wonder Emperor Xi appreciates the fifth prince so much. If the fifth prince becomes emperor in the future, he'll definitely be a wise and heroic ruler." Jianchen studied the man and woman in the hall. Without any introductions, he knew that they were princess Tai 'an and the fifth prince from the Xi dynasty.
The fifth prince, in particular, left an extremely deep impression on Jianchen from the first moment they met.
Over the years, Jianchen had seen quite a few princes and crown princes, but very few of them gave off an aura like the fifth prince.
This caused him to have a whole new level of respect for the Fifth Prince.
The emperor stood up and nodded at Jianchen with a smile before introducing him to Princess Tai 'an and the fifth prince, "Fifth prince, princess, this is Jianchen from the southern region!"
The dignified princess Tai 'an and the imposing fifth prince immediately stood up when they heard that. They clasped their hands at Jianchen and exchanged pleasantries.
"Haha, you youngsters can continue chatting. This emperor is going to take care of some matters." The Xuandao Divine Emperor said to both parties very politely, then left with Prince Yan Shun.
In the blink of an eye, only Jianchen, the fifth prince, and princess Tai 'an remained in the grand hall.
"Jianchen, there's no need for you to call me the fifth prince. That'll make you seem like an outsider. My original name is Xi Hao, so you can just call me Xi Hao," said the fifth prince with a smile. Afterwards, he looked at princess Tai 'an beside him and said, "As for princess Tai' an beside me, she's called Shangyun Shuixian. Apart from being the princess of our Xi dynasty, she's also the daughter of the Shangyun clan."
"Greetings, Shangyun Shuixian. Jianchen can just call me Shuixian." Princess Tai 'an smiled faintly as she nodded at Jianchen.
Jianchen had come into contact with many princes of various empires and prodigies of various sects in the past few days, so he had a rough understanding of the distribution of organisations on the Cloud Plane.
Naturally, Jianchen knew about the Shangyun clan. Although the Shangyun clan was not within the Xi dynasty, it was still a famed clan in the northern region. Many ancient empires and organisations had to show respect to the Shangyun clan.
This was because the current empress of the Xi dynasty came from the Shangyun clan.
Afterwards, Jianchen spoke freely with the fifth prince. Clearly, the fifth prince wanted to rope in Jianchen, so he completely abandoned his status as a prince of the Xi dynasty when he spoke with Jianchen. He only treated himself as an ordinary friend.
However, the fifth prince was extremely patient. Although he wanted to rope in Jianchen, he did not mention anything about roping him in.
During this time, princess Tai 'an would chime in from time to time, humbly asking Jianchen for guidance on cultivation. Both her words and her expression revealed her admiration for Jianchen.
"Xi Hao, Miss Shuixian, to be honest, I have an extremely important matter that requires me to return to the southern region as soon as possible. However, the entire northern region has been sealed off by Emperor Xi. May I ask if you have any methods for me to return to the southern region as soon as possible?" After several hours of conversation, Jianchen finally mentioned his main objective.
The fifth prince and princess Tai 'an both frowned when they heard that. After a moment of silence, the fifth prince said, "Jianchen, this matter is rather difficult to deal with. If it were any other time, I would have been able to open the inter-regional teleportation formation of my Xi dynasty for brother Jianchen. Even if the teleportation formation of the Xi dynasty is unusable, I believe that with my prestige, I should be able to borrow the teleportation formations of the ancient empires and organisations in the northern region."
"However, uncle Ziyun has personally ordered for all the teleportation formations of the northern region to be sealed off. With uncle Ziyun's current prestige, basically no one dares to disobey him in the boundless northern region. The ancient empires would never be bold enough to open up teleportation formations, and even the teleportation formation of our Xi dynasty has been closed as well. Only the old Holy Emperor or uncle Ziyun's permission can be used."
Reaching there, the fifth prince smiled self-deprecatingly, "Jianchen, I might be one of the princes of the Xi dynasty right now, but the old Holy Emperor of the Xi dynasty are not people that we princes can meet whenever we want. As for uncle Ziyun, he's currently in a stalemate with the ancestor of the Skyrend Sect. With uncle Ziyun's personality right now, it's extremely likely that he'll start fighting with the Skyrend Sect. If you go and find him right now, you'll only make uncle unhappy."
"Our Shangyun clan's teleportation formation has been closed as well. Jianchen, I'm afraid we won't be able to help you with this," said princess Tai 'an as well.
Jianchen became disappointed when he heard that. He said, "Emperor Xi is a little too vicious. He really doesn't spare anyone who tried to kill him in the past. Even the Imperial Protector of the Xi dynasty was captured by Emperor Xi a while ago. Now, he's going to deal with the Skyrend Sect of the Xi dynasty. If this continues, it'll be very bad for the Xi dynasty. Moreover, Emperor Xi has trapped many people here for revenge, unable to leave. "Jianchen felt very helpless inside.
"Yeah. Ever since uncle ascended to the throne, his personality has changed drastically. He wasn't like this in the past. It's a pity that no one in the empire can stop uncle now. Even the old Holy Emperor can't do anything to uncle, "the fifth prince said helplessly as well. His face was filled with worry. His uncle had already killed off all the Primordial realm experts in the Xi imperial family, causing the entire empire to be in a state of panic. They were unable to find peace at all.
Princess Tai 'an sighed gently when she heard their words. She became rather dejected, and she said gloomily, "Actually, you can't blame uncle. Everything has a cause and effect. If it weren't for the fact that those people pursued aunt and her parents endlessly, causing aunt to lose her daughter, my uncle would not have ended up like this."
"What? Lose her daughter? " The fifth prince was stunned. Even Jianchen was surprised. He stared at princess Tai 'an blankly.
At this moment, princess Tai 'an suddenly returned to her senses. She realised that she had let it slip, so she immediately covered her mouth in surprise.
