Legend of Swordsman - Chapter 174

Outside the imperial palace, in the Cloud Mountains.

A fierce selection battle had just taken place, leaving devastation everywhere.

At that moment, seven strong figures with overwhelming auras stood at the summit of one of the lofty Giant Mountains, waiting silently.

Suddenly, three dark spots appeared on the horizon and swept towards the figures.

"Here they come."

The seven figures lifted their heads.

As the dark points grew closer, it became apparent that there were three Griffins on which Jian Wushuang, Yang Zaixuan and Su Rou rode.

When they got close to the mountain summit, they jumped off the Griffins.

"Haha. Wushuang." A cool and charismatic middle-aged man welcomed Jian Wushuang with a smile.

"Your Excellency Ye?" Jian Wushuang's eyes lit up.

He had known that there would be experts invited by Palace Master White and that they would be waiting for him here, but he had not known who they would be.

He recognized the middle-aged man as Ye Rufeng, whom he had previously dealt with several times.

It was Ye Rufeng who had sent him to the Dragon Palace.

"Wushuang, we meet again." With a smile, Ye Rufeng said,"About two years have pa.s.sed since our last meeting. As for that moment, I have to thank you again. Without you, I'm afraid my daughter would have been killed."

Back then, Jian Wushuang had run into Ye Rufeng while on a.s.signment by the Dragon Palace. Jian Wushuang had helped Ye Rufeng take care of his daughter, Ye Mei, by helping her complete the task of catching the Two-Claw Marked Golden Dragon Guard.

"Let it go," Jian Wushuang smiled.

"You saved my daughter's life. I have to thank you," Ye Rufeng said solemnly.

"I believe in showing grat.i.tude through my actions. You did me a huge favor by saving my daughter's life and I want to repay that debt. When I heard that you needed help, I came here without any hesitation."

"Haha, thank you so much, Your Excellency Ye," Jian Wushuang said.

"Don't call me Your Excellency. If you don't mind, call me Brother Ye," said Ye Rufeng.

"Brother Ye," Jian Wushuang didn't refuse.

"All right. Let me introduce..." Ye Rufeng brought Jian Wushuang before the other experts.

"This is Shui Minghao, the Golden Dragon Amba.s.sador of the Golden-dragon Palace."

Jian Wushuang looked at the well-groomed man whose eyes seemed to possess an unusual magic to make people like him at first sight.

"Mr. Shui," Jian Wushuang said modestly.

"Jian Wushuang, the first on the Earthly Dragon List, the recognized first genius in the whole Tianzong Dynasty. After the selection battle, people were discussing you everywhere and I have already heard so much about you. Today, I'm finally able to see you in the flesh." Shui Minghao said and laughed.

"Those are..." Ye Rufeng introduced the other powerhouses to Jian Wushuang one by one.

Jian Wushuang soon realized something about the experts invited by Palace Master White.

Seven experts were invited by Palace Master White.

All of them were Golden Dragon Amba.s.sadors from the Golden-dragon Palace and had marvelous strength.

Among them, three were warriors of the Profound Yin Void Realm, two were warriors of Exceptional Yin Void Realm and two were warriors of Peak of the Yin Void Realm.

"Gentlemen, that's our destination — Nine Emperors Sect," Jian Wushuang said in a serious voice, "According to reliable news from the Golden-dragon Palace, the man who's imprisoned in the Nine Emperors Sect is my father."

"Ah?" All seven Golden Dragon Amba.s.sadors looked at Jian Wushuang.

"I need your help to rescue my father," Jian Wushuang said,"There is no doubt that the Nine Emperors Sect's strength is very strong. Besides, it has a connection with the Blood Feather Tower. So, some top experts from the Blood Feather Tower may be hidden in the Nine Emperors Sect."

"The Blood Feather Tower?" The Golden Dragon Amba.s.sadors' expressions changed.

They would have been able to manage if it were merely a fight with the Nine Emperors Sect.

Although the Nine Emperors Sect was strong, it just a first-cla.s.s Sect in the region and the strongest expert in the sect was just a Peak of the Yin Void Realm.

However, circ.u.mstances would be different if Blood Feather Tower was involved. Blood Feather Tower was the greatest killer organization in the Tianzong Dynasty. The horror that this organization was capable of causing was known to all.

Anyone who crossed the Blood Feather Tower would be targeted by the organization and a.s.sa.s.sinated. Even experts of the Yin-Yang Void Realm could not escape death by Blood Feather Tower's hands.

Apart from Ye Rufeng, the Golden Dragon Amba.s.sadors looked hesitant.

"Gentlemen."

Jian Wushuang observed their expressions, then said, "I know what you are worried about. If you don't want to provoke the Blood Feather Tower, I won't force you to do so. If there's anyone here who wants to quit, you can leave now."

"Of course, I will be deeply indebted to anyone who stays to help me rescue my father. I will try my best to repay your help in future."

Several Golden Dragon Amba.s.sadors who had hesitated brightened at Jian Wushuang's words.

Earlier, Palace Master White had promised to gift them with items such as elixirs and tomes, in exchange for their help. Although those items were welcome, they would not have insisted on getting those items.

But getting the favor of Jian Wushuang was totally different.
