Li Changsheng carried the sword on his back, much like a chubby child with a great sword on his back. The sword tip had to drag along the ground, etching a deep groove into the Han white jade-paved surface. The scene was quite amusing, drawing laughter, yet it was also exceptionally striking and sent shivers down one’s spine. Both inside and outside this Imperial City, there are powerful arrays and divine artifacts suppressing and protecting it. These Han white jade stones in front of the city gates are not something anyone can easily damage. This Anning Gate is especially a place of stringent vigilance, and the over one thousand imperial guards stationed here had long noticed Li Changsheng. Yet they couldn’t move, all they could do was stand there, stupefied, staring at Li Changsheng, unable to budge an inch. Li Changsheng, however, leisurely and calmly, came to a halt ten zhang from the Anning Gate. "Your humble servant, Li Changsheng!" Li Changsheng raised his eyes, looking through the layers of palace gates toward the depths of the hall: "Today, on the matter of my Holy Inheritor Disciple being attacked, I request to see the Emperor of Daning!" His voice wasn’t loud, not particularly resounding, yet it spread far, covering the entire Capital City, heard by all near and far. It was precisely early morning at this time, with the first ray of sunlight just appearing on the horizon, and the vast majority of people still in their dreams. But as Li Changsheng’s voice emerged, the entire Wang’an City sprang to life. Countless Jianghu travellers acted in a burst, and those who considered their cultivation adequate flew up one after another, heading towards the Imperial City. All officials also changed their expressions, rising to dress and hurriedly stepping out of their rooms. Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Chu Rulai, was in his study writing a petition. Upon hearing the voice, he couldn’t help but be momentarily dazed. The pen in his hand drew a thick line of ink to the left, ruining his previous work. Chu Rulai nonetheless couldn’t care less about these things, he discarded the document in front of him, using the Power of Stars to flicker his figure, rushing at full speed, traversing ten li in the blink of an eye. In the inner palace, Emperor Jianyuan also awoke leisurely on the dragon bed in his sleeping chamber. There was no court session today; he originally thought he could take a nap, but was startled awake by Li Changsheng’s voice. He first squinted his eyes, then suddenly rose and stepped off the dragon bed. There were eunuchs and palace maids around who wanted to assist him in putting on the dragon robe, but were thrown to the corners of the grand hall by a wave of Vigorous Force transmitted by Emperor Jianyuan, bleeding from their mouths and noses. Emperor Jianyuan nonchalantly grabbed at empty air, draping the dragon robe on himself, then took up the sword with Nine Dragons Coiling, enshrined in the southern corner of the sleeping chamber. As he walked out the door with dragon-like and tiger-like steps, several senior eunuchs in the palace had already arrived one after another, even the State Preceptor had already descended with an Avatar Transformation here. "What’s going on?" Emperor Jianyuan looked through the layers of the palace and gazed beyond the Palace City. "It’s really Li Changsheng out there?" With just one glance, he was certain. The majestic Sword Qi rose to more than ten thousand zhang high, piercing through a layer of Cloud Sky with a massive hole. And the brilliance of the ’Divine Illusion Sword,’ visible near and far. "Your Majesty, that is indeed the Master of Formless Sect beyond doubt." Kneeling on the ground before Emperor Jianyuan, a white-haired eunuch spoke dryly: "This person has come today regarding the recent incident where the Direct Palace Supervisor of the Inner Palace set up an ambush to assassinate Chu Xisheng of the Formless Divine Sect’s Heaven Punishing Saint Transmission." Emperor Jianyuan couldn’t help but furrow his brow deeply. This matter was personally authorized by him. The setup by the Direct Palace Supervisor was fairly cautious, involving not only the deployment of three First Grade masters but also some Xu Clan power. The ambush location was in Returning Ruins, a place where inner and outer messages are difficult to pass. Their targets were only an Avatar Transformation of Su Fengdao and a Chu Xisheng. However, three days ago, the Blood Sea Junior Supervisor in charge transmitted a message from Wuzhong Ocean. The Formless Divine Sect might have collusion with Extreme East Ice City, aided by the Ice City Princess assisting Chu Xisheng, leading to the brink of failure. Emperor Jianyuan foresaw that the Formless Divine Sect would certainly react, but he hadn’t expected their reaction to be so intense. Li Changsheng, as the eminent master of a sect, actually came personally, knocking at the gates before the Imperial Palace. Waves surged in Emperor Jianyuan’s heart, both astonished and furious. What a Formless Divine Sect! What a Li Changsheng! Where are they placing the dignity of the court? Emperor Jianyuan’s hands clenched tightly in his sleeves, the veins bulging on his arms, with nine Red Dragons manifesting behind him. His expression soon calmed down, even with a hint of a smile on his face: "It truly is Li Changsheng! This old man, how dare he personally come to Wang’an City to argue with me. Is he not afraid of them wiping out his old base?" At this time, both the Ten Thousand Demon Cave and the Formless Divine Mountain are crucial to the Formless Divine Sect. In past times, Li Changsheng didn’t dare to leave casually even for a moment. "Did Your Majesty forget?" It was the State Preceptor, he stood with one hand on his chest, with a rueful smile: "You forgot, there is still a Blood Pine on the Formless Divine Mountain now." Emperor Jianyuan was stunned by these words, then furrowed his brow deeply. Indeed, although that Blood Pine is only Lower First Grade, its deterrent to the world is no less than Li Changsheng combined with the Divine Illusion Sword. That is the Wood Sword Immortal! One of the sources of Sword Dao in the world, now capable of severing the Time River with a single sword, ascending to divinity with the Heaven-cutting Dao. While they were speaking, Li Changsheng’s voice came again from outside. "Your humble servant, Li Changsheng, requests an audience with the Emperor of Daning!" All present immediately looked towards Emperor Jianyuan. This matter today could only be decided by the current emperor. Emperor Jianyuan’s gaze flickered with changes, then he let out a mocking laugh: "No audience!" His demeanor was breezy, directly sitting with ease on the steps: "I am the Emperor of Daning, born of the royal lineage! Where can anyone who wishes to see me get to see me? If Li Changsheng wishes to meet me, he can submit a petition through the Zhi Dao Record Bureau, and I will see if I am in the mood, if I have the time."
