Chapter 1984: The Unexpected Person
viously learned have been directly integrated into Fang Yu's bodily instincts, no longer requiring brain control.Everything...is driven by instinct!When danger approaches, the body will make the most...These people don't seem to be too different from those in the southern borderlands, neither in their clothing nor appearance, nor even in their language.
Fang Yu and the two others walked forward, heading towards the Great Sun Imperial Palace.
……
At this very moment, within a dungeon of the Great Sun Emperor's Palace.
A wizened old man in a black robe was walking towards the cell.
His nose was extremely long, and it curved upwards like an eagle's beak, making him appear extremely sinister and contemptible.
"Where is the spirit beast being kept" The man walked up to a guard and asked.
"Reporting to Lord Kongyun, I have, as per your command, imprisoned the spirit beast within the underground ice prison," the guard immediately bowed and respectfully replied.
"Okay, take me there." Kong Yun said calmly.
Then, the guard led the way ahead, while Kongyun followed behind.
The two walked into the dungeon, continuing downwards until they reached the fifth level underground.
Before a cell radiating with a chill, the guard stopped and said, “Lord Kongyun, the spirit beast is inside… just as you said before, after it was put into the dungeon, its aura has indeed weakened considerably, and it can no longer struggle.”
"Heh." Kong Yun let out a cold laugh, pushed open the cell door with his right hand, and walked in.
"...Tap tap tap..."
The temperature in the cell was lower, but it was utterly silent.
Kong Yù walked forward slowly, a faint golden light emanating from his body.
Before reaching the ice wall at the deepest part of the cell, although the light was dim, a figure bound by ice shackles could be clearly seen.
She had a mane of dark red hair, clad in a crimson robe. Her exposed face and arms were covered in a thin layer of frost, her body trembling constantly.
"You put up quite a struggle, but no matter what... in the end, I still managed to capture you." Kongyun revealed a sinister smile and said.
The one encased in ice was clearly a female.
Looking closely, one could even see that in certain places on her face and arms, skin had sprouted with red feathers, though they were rather dull in luster.
"Who… are you" the girl spat, her voice laced with anger.
"Who are we Can't you tell" Kong Yu turned, revealing a golden mark on the back of his black robe that resembled the sun.
The girl seemed to have never seen the mark before.
"That's right, you are a spirit beast, it's normal that you don't know us." Kong Yun nodded and said, "Then let me tell you, we are cultivators from the Great Sun Imperial Palace."
"You... what do you want!" The girl's voice trembled from the cold, and the wounds on her body ached even more as the frigid air seeped into them.
"We found that you are similar in aura to a divine beast, and... your appearance is also similar." Kong Yu grinned. "You must be related to the legendary phoenix, right"
Upon hearing this, the girl's face paled slightly.
"You can deny it, but I have already seen you unleashing flames with all your might. There must be a connection between you and the phoenix." Kong Yu's smile became even more sinister as he said, "And the phoenix... happens to be related to the Emperor's cultivation method. Later, I will offer you to the Emperor as a grand gift."
Having said that, Kongyun turned and left the cell.
The girl's teeth chattered as she gnawed, using all her might to break free from the icy shackles binding her.
However, the ice throughout the entire cell was special. The chill it released didn't just stay on the surface, but constantly seeped into one's body.
The girl was encased in ice from head to toe, completely frozen and unable to move.
"In half an hour, escort her out. I want to take her to meet the Emperor," Kong Yu said as he left the cell, addressing the guards.
"Yes!" the guard replied instantly.
……
Fang Yu and his two companions were walking down a main street in Dayang City when they suddenly saw a large crowd gathered ahead.
As you walked forward, you could hear the murmurs of this group of people.
“This is the guy who stole the Imperial Sovereign’s Sacred Artifact from the Imperial Palace He’s got some guts, doesn’t he”
"Whether he is brave or not doesn't matter, the most important thing is... how did he do it To steal a sacred artifact under the noses of so many powerful people within the imperial palace... unbelievable."
"Is there any point in issuing a bounty now These thieves can infiltrate the Imperial Palace and steal sacred artifacts, then be caught afterwards It's like a dream!"
There was a buzz of discussion, some voices filled with shock, others with playful mockery, while some questioned the strength of the imperial palace's guards.
"The artifact has been stolen"
Fang Yu, hearing this crucial piece of information, curiously squeezed his way into the crowd.
"Hot water, hot water, be careful not to burn yourself."
Fang Yu shouted, and forcibly squeezed to the front of the crowd.
On the notice board, he saw the content of the wanted poster, his eyes narrowed!
What caught Fang Yu's attention wasn't the content of the bounty notice, but the portrait above it!
This is a man, with sharp features and a handsome face.
But looking at his face, there wasn't anything particularly striking about it.
However, Fang Yu knew him.
Chen Qinan!
It was Chen Qinan! The one who was brought out from Sirius Star by him back then, and after that, he deceived him, ultimately destroying the Three Passes Xuanmen sect and escaping.
Fang Yu looked at the bounty order, his expression cold, his eyes flickering.
He never expected to come across news about Chen Qi'an again, let alone in this setting!
This thief infiltrated the Imperial Palace and stole the Heavenly Immortal Pearl from the Treasure Pavilion. The Emperor is furious. Whoever finds this thief, simply report to the local Danyang Palace and you will receive a generous reward.
The content on the wanted poster is also very brief.
...and the situation is also very clear. ...
Chen Qian'an infiltrated Dayang Imperial Palace in some way and took the artifact, Tianxianzhu.
This enraged the Great Sun Emperor so much that he issued a wanted notice, putting Chen Qiang on the run throughout the entire realm.
"Holy artifact, Chen Qinan…" Fang Yu narrowed his eyes, stroking his chin.
Then, he looked at the middle-aged man beside him and asked, "Hey, when did this happen"
"Huh What" the man asked in return.
"I want to ask, when did this guy named Chen Qian'an steal the Tianshen Pearl" Fang Yu asked again.
"When It must have been last night. Or maybe this morning Anyway, the bounty just went up not long ago." The man said.
"That's how it is, thanks." Fang Yu said.
"Hey, little brother, you wouldn't go after this guy, would you Don't even think about it. The benefits of the Imperial Palace aren't that easy to get," the man advised. "Think about it, this guy took the Heavenly Immortal Pearl and escaped unscathed. Could his strength be average Of course not! So, even if you really meet this person, it's best to pretend you don't know him, otherwise, you might lose your own life!"
"Thanks for the advice, brother. I'm not planning on catching any thieves; I have other things to attend to." Fang Yu smiled.
After a brief chat, Fang Yu pushed his way through the crowd.
But his eyes had grown cold.
Chen Qian'an's meticulous mind and ruthless methods left a deep impression on him.
If there is another chance to see Chen Qianyuan, he will definitely not let it pass.
At the very least, Chen Qian had to pay a heavy price for the destruction of the San Tong Xuan Men.
