Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 5097  Take Them All Away

Jian Wushuang did not dwell on it too much; he only wanted to deal with the current situation and then make a quick exit.

This black-robed figure incident was closely related to him, and if the Heavenly Court were to investigate the situation here, his prospects would undoubtedly be bleak.

If Prince Ji brought up certain details, it would undoubtedly put him in an even more precarious position.

What Jian Wushuang needed to do now was to downplay his own presence.

"Hmph, what a load of nonsense!" Prince Ji glanced at him disdainfully, seemingly quite displeased.

As for Immortal Lord Zhen Yao, after hearing Jian Wushuang's words, a meaningful look appeared in his eyes.

Then, he spoke with a solemn tone, "To have caused this level of destruction here, it's likely even a Six Revolutions Grand Yan Immortal couldn't achieve such a feat. I'm very curious, how did you guys manage it?"

"Could that creature be beyond the realm of a Nine Revolutions Grand Yan Immortal?"

With just one brief question, he directly hit the crux of the matter.

In reality, the black-robed figure far exceeded the level of a Six Revolutions Grand Yan Immortal and could even dominate a Nine Revolutions. However, if it were mentioned that the black-robed figure was beyond the Nine Revolutions, it would surely alert everyone to the complexity of the situation.

Jian Wushuang pondered for a moment and then replied, "There's a possibility, but his appearance was so sudden, and his departure was hasty. We couldn't even sense his true aura."

Immortal Lord Zhen Yao continued, "If that's the case, then that creature must have come for some kind of supreme treasure. Which one of you possesses such a treasure?"

He smiled faintly, "Don't forget, this is the Heavenly Region of the Divine Craftsman, and the number of supreme treasures contained here is beyond imagination."

Immortal Lord Zhen Yao revealed a deep and meaningful expression, "Oh, is that so? Then let me ask you again, how did you manage to survive under that creature's hand until now?"

Jian Wushuang replied directly, "That creature had no interest in prolonged battles. It seemed to be searching for something, which is why it caused such destruction in the Heavenly Region. That's why all of us were able to survive until you, esteemed Immortal Lords, arrived."

In a conversation where not a drop of information leaked, nothing of importance was revealed.

This made Immortal Lord Zhen Yao furrow his brow slightly. The situation here couldn't possibly be so simple, or else the Heavenly Court wouldn't have been shaken, and even the Emperor had been alerted.

This time, the Emperor had sent them to Great Mi Heaven to thoroughly investigate the cause of the matter and throw the instigators into the Endless Sea to consider the matter closed.

But now, everything seemed to be concealed, without any leads.

"Jian Wushuang!" Immortal Lord Zhen Yao said with a touch of anger, "Do you realize the consequences of concealing information?"

Jian Wushuang knew that he was getting angry and could only raise his hands helplessly, saying, "Immortal Lord, the situation has indeed developed this way. If you don't believe me, I can't do anything about it."

Immortal Lord Zhen Yao stepped forward, "Are you not afraid of being thrown into the Endless Sea?"

"Is that even a possibility?" he muttered to himself, then continued, "Although the situation is somewhat convoluted, this is the general course of events. If Xianjun doesn't believe it, you can investigate it yourself."

The atmosphere was tense, and all ten elders cast scrutinizing glances at Jian Wushuang, trying to find a breakthrough.

In the end, it was Immortal Lord Zhen Yao who spoke first. He looked at Prince Jiu and asked, "Your Highness, is what Jian Wushuang said true?"

Jian Wushuang's heart shook but quickly calmed down.

Prince Jiu, on the other hand, kept frowning, seemingly hesitating. Finally, he looked at Immortal Lord Zhen Yao and said, "Immortal Lord Zhen Yao, it is indeed true."

"Indeed true? Your Highness, are you starting to conceal the truth as well?" Immortal Lord Zhen Yao glared, then raised his hand, and nearly a hundred Chains of Heavenly Dao shot out, binding both Prince Jiu and Jian Wushuang directly.

Prince Jiu was first taken aback, then lowered his head to look at the Chains of Heavenly Dao bound to his waist and shouted angrily, "Immortal Lord Zhen Yao, how dare you?!"

"This is the Emperor's command, and anyone must carry it out, including the Emperor's son!" he said sternly, clearly unafraid of the Prince.

"I, the Emperor's son, will comply!" Prince Jiu said with great indignation.

It was apparent that Immortal Lord Zhen Yao did not care about his feelings; instead, he tightened the Chains of the Heavenly Dao even further.

Everyone present, including the disciples of the Divine Craftsman Xu Tuo, got the treatment of being bound by the Chains of Heavenly Dao.

Especially Jian Wushuang, he was practically wrapped up like a dumpling, with only his head exposed.

"Binding me is one thing, but isn't this a bit excessive..." he remarked.

"Special circumstances warrant special treatment," Immortal Lord Zhen Yao said with a casual glance.

At this moment, Divine Craftsman Xu Tuo spoke up, "Gentlemen and Immortal Lords, where are you taking us?"

"We're taking you all to the Heavenly Court, to be dealt with by the Emperor."

"T-the Heavenly Court?!" All the disciples were in shock, exchanging puzzled glances.

For them, the Heavenly Court, which was the central hub of the entire Great Si Region, was an unimaginable and untouchable existence. They weren't even considered Top Cultivators.

Now, the fact that they were going to ascend to the Heavenly Court left all the disciples unsure whether to be excited or fearful.

Nan Xuan felt like crying without tears. The Heavenly Court was like a prison for someone like him, a free-spirited, solitary transcendent cultivator. This journey would likely bring more harm than good.

Over 60 figures, bound by the Chains of Heavenly Dao Order, were about to be sent to the Heavenly Court.

However, at this moment, Immortal Lord Zhen Yao abruptly halted and his intimidating gaze converged.

The other nine Elders also focused their attention.

In the eternal and empty void, a gust of dust-filled wind swirled.

Thin strands of dark purple mist appeared out of nowhere, condensing once again!

At this moment, Jian Wushuang's gaze became completely serious.

If it could be said that resurrection was a far-fetched notion, the black-robed figure had already been resurrected three times, and now it was happening again.

This was an unimaginable phenomenon, further proof that he was an undying and indestructible being. Even a Peak Grand Yan Immortal Lord couldn't completely obliterate him!

Jian Wushuang was horrified. What kind of existence was this black-robed figure emerging from the Heaven-Patterned Bone Armor? Was his sole purpose truly to protect the secrets within the bone armor?

But what exactly did the Heaven-Patterned Bone Armor contain that made the black-robed figure willing to exterminate anyone who glimpsed its secrets?

As the dark purple mist condensed, the nightmarish figure of the black robe reappeared.

Not only Jian Wushuang, but also Nan Xuan and Divine Craftsman Xu Tuo, felt a bone-chilling coldness deep in their hearts.

Endless resurrections, all at their peak, an individual who couldn't be completely extinguished even by a Peak Grand Yan Immortal—

could such a being truly exist?

At this moment, all ten Immortal Lord Elders sensed the presence of the black-robed figure, and their expressions turned serious.

Then, Immortal Lord Zhen Yao turned his gaze to Jian Wushuang, who was bound by the Chains of Heavenly Dao like a dumpling. "Jian Wushuang, take a look. Is this the evil entity you mentioned?"
