White World, Tianshui Academy.
"Male God Tang Chuan, he's just too handsome!!"
Upon seeing in the comparison video that after learning Zhu Zhuqing had been abducted by agents of the Star Luo Imperial Family...
Tang Chuan not only showed no fear but instead looked furious and icy, immediately preparing to lead his people straight to the Star Luo Empire to demand her return from the Star Luo Imperial Family.
For a moment, Shui Yue'er's delicate and pretty face lit up, stars practically twinkling in her beautiful eyes, her jade-like hands clasped before her chest, filled with utter admiration and envy.
As the saying goes: A maiden's heart is ever dreaming of spring!
Countless young women, deep down, yearn for this:
One day, a dashing and talented young Prodigy would be willing to risk offending a top-tier power for their safety.
Even to safely rescue them from such a top-tier power.
Anyway, Shui Yue'er often fantasized about such a scenario.
Therefore, seeing Tang Chuan stand up for Zhu Zhuqing, unafraid to provoke the Star Luo Imperial Family...
Shui Yue'er just felt...
This scene was simply the coolest, the most hype!
Spirit City.
Witnessing this scene, Hu Liena couldn't help but be momentarily stunned, her heart filled with envy.
This Zhu Zhuqing is truly fortunate!
Tang Chuan was actually willing to offend the Star Luo Imperial Family for her.
If one day, I encountered such a situation...
Would Tang Chuan be willing to do the same for me then?
The comparison video continued to play.
[The next day.]
[After ordering the Speed Clan, the Defense Clan, the Breaking Clan, along with the Nine Heart Begonia Family and the Unicorn Fire Tyrant Dragon Family, to gather experts of Spirit Saint Rank and above...]
[Tang Chuan immediately led the team, departing from the Azure Emperor Sect, heading straight for the Star Luo Imperial City.]
[Along the way, the group of experts traveled at full speed.]
[In just over a day, the team arrived at the Star Luo Imperial City.]
[The Star Luo Imperial City, situated on a plain in the southern part of the continent, was surrounded by mountains, with only a few passes allowing access, making it easy to defend and hard to attack.]
[As the imperial city of one of the continent's two great Empires, its walls were equally thirty zhang high, wide enough for several carriages to travel abreast, constructed entirely of black ironstone, gleaming with a cold, metallic sheen under the sunlight.]
[This thousand-year-old capital bore the iron-bloodedness and majesty of the Star Luo Empire; every street seemed steeped in strict hierarchy and rules.]
[At this moment, the atmosphere before the main city gate was as heavy as iron.]
[Tang Chuan stood at the forefront, with over twenty figures behind him.]
[Bai He's figure was lean, his eyes sharp yet restrained; Yang Wudi held the Soul Breaking Spear, its tip touching the ground, his Aura like a volcano about to erupt; Niu Gao was burly as a mountain, muscles bulging all over.]
[And Academy Dean was also tall and straight, his expression grave; Ye Zhilan and Ling Zhantian stood together at the rear, leading the Spirit Saint experts from their respective Families arrayed on either side.]
[Each person's face was stern, spirit power circulating slowly within their bodies.]
[This was a force any power would have to take seriously—six Spirit Douluo, eighteen Spirit Saints, all seasoned in actual combat.]
[Not to mention the leader, Tang Chuan. Though very young, appearing like a youth, he was a monstrous Prodigy who had once slain a Titled Douluo, his strength Heaven-Defying!]
["Let's go."]
[Tang Chuan spoke only one word, taking the first step.]
[The others followed in unison, their footsteps treading on the bluestone-paved main road of the imperial city, producing a uniform and heavy echo.]
[On both sides of the street, pedestrians retreated hastily, shops hurriedly closed their doors.]
[Patrolling guards wanted to step forward to block them, but upon sensing the soaring pressure of spirit power, they halted, faces pale.]
[No one dared to stop them.]
[This team was like a sharp sword, thrusting straight toward the heart of the Star Luo Empire's power—the imperial palace.]
[The main palace gate stood ten zhang high, forged from refined steel, its surface carved with the tiger emblem of the Star Luo Imperial Family.]
[A hundred golden-armored guards stood before it holding halberds. Seeing Tang Chuan's group charging straight forward, the guard captain shouted sternly, "Halt! This is the imperial palace Forbidden Land, trespassers..."]
[Before he could finish, Tang Chuan had already raised his hand, blue-golden light blossoming from his palm.]
[A vine, crystal-clear throughout, its leaves carved like sapphires, bearing small flowers and entwined with golden, icy-blue, crimson, and dark-purple patterns, slowly unfurled.]
[The moment the Blue Silver Emperor Spirit manifested, Tang Chuan expanded his Blue Silver Domain. Five spirit rings rose from his feet, spiraling upward.]
[The five spirit rings, "two yellow, two purple, one black," rose one after another.]
[This looked very ordinary, merely a Spirit King.]
[But behind Tang Chuan, Bai He, Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, and others simultaneously released their Spirits.]
["Screech——"]
[Amidst a sharp crane cry, a pair of pure white wings unfurled behind Bai He, eight spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, four black—rising from his feet.]
["Break!"]
[Yang Wudi uttered a low shout. The Soul Breaking Spear hummed and vibrated, similarly manifesting eight spirit rings, a powerful pressure of spirit power erupting.]
[Niu Gao roared to the heavens, his body swelling a size, his skin turning stone-grey, eight rings appearing simultaneously.]
[Academy Dean's body ignited with crimson flames. Ye Zhilan raised a Nine Heart Begonia in her hand. Ling Zhantian's back manifested the phantom of a blood-red giant lion. They too all manifested eight rings.]
[Furthermore, the eighteen Spirit Saints, with their varied Spirits, their spirit ring lights interweaving, their terrifying spirit power fluctuations converging into a substantial pressure that seemed to solidify the air before the palace gates.]
[Tang Chuan rose into the air, ascending to a height of ten zhang, looking down upon the majestic palace gates below, his expression icy. Channeling his spirit power, his voice thundered across the imperial palace like rolling thunder.]
["Star Luo Imperial Family——"]
["Zhu Zhuqing is a Disciple of my Azure Emperor Sect."]
["You sent people to infiltrate my sect and forcibly abduct one of our members. Do you think my Azure Emperor Sect has no one? Or do you think I, Tang Chuan, dare not come to this Star Luo Imperial City to demand her return?"]
[His voice, amplified by spirit power, rolled outwards.]
[Inside and outside the palace, countless people looked up at the sky, faces filled with shock.]
["Now, I'll give you one chance."]
[Tang Chuan's tone was as cold as ice.]
["Hand over Zhu Zhuqing, and this matter can still be resolved peacefully. If you refuse——"]
[He paused, each word dripping with killing intent.]
["I will lead my people inside to find her myself!"]
[As his words fell, deathly silence descended inside and outside the palace.]
[The golden-armored guards' hands trembled on their halberds. The patrolling generals inside the palace looked deathly pale. The onlooking citizens in the distance held their breath.]
[Everyone could sense that a shocking conflict was on the verge of erupting.]
[However——]
["Hahahahaha——"]
[A hearty, booming laugh suddenly came from deep within the palace.]
[The laughter was robust and full of vitality, conveying undisguised joy, starkly out of place with the current tense, confrontational atmosphere.]
[The palace gates slowly opened.]
[A group of people, escorted by dozens of palace attendants and guards, emerged from within the palace.]
[The leader wore bright yellow dragon robes, a purple-gold crown on his head. He was tall and straight, with golden hair flowing over his shoulders, appearing to be in his thirties or forties, with a heroic and imposing face.]
[It was none other than the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire—Dai Tianfeng.]
[Surprisingly, this Emperor, known for his iron-blooded coldness, now wore a face full of enthusiastic smiles, his eyes even sparkling with excitement and fervor.]
[He strode forward with large steps, actually coming out personally to greet them.]
["A misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!"]
[Dai Tianfeng's voice arrived before he did.]
[He cupped his hands toward Tang Chuan in the air, his tone as warm as if meeting an old friend of many years, saying with a beaming smile.]
["Sect Master Tang Chuan honors us with your presence. Forgive us for not welcoming you properly, we beg your pardon!"]
[Tang Chuan slowly descended to the ground, frowning slightly.]
[The people behind him also exchanged glances, completely unprepared for such a scene.]
[Dai Tianfeng approached, first nodding in acknowledgment to Bai He, Yang Wudi, and the others behind Tang Chuan, then looked at Tang Chuan, shaking his head with a helpless sigh.]
["Sect Master Tang, this matter is indeed a misunderstanding."]
["This Emperor merely sent subordinates to invite that Zhu Family girl back to discuss Family matters. Who knew those fools misunderstood this Emperor's meaning and actually used force to abduct her, offending your esteemed sect. They truly deserve punishment!"]
[He turned and shouted.]
["Take that team who went to Heaven Dou the other day, all of them, and throw them into the dungeon to await judgment!"]
["Yes!"]
[The guards behind him accepted the order and left.]
[Dai Tianfeng turned back to Tang Chuan, his face full of sincerity.]
["Sect Master Tang, this matter is due to this Emperor's lax control over subordinates. This Emperor apologizes to your esteemed sect here."]
["That girl Zhu Zhuqing, this Emperor has already ordered her to be treated well. Let us have her brought out immediately."]
[With a wave of his hand, soon, several palace maids supported a young woman in black leather, with a fiery figure and a stunningly pure and beautiful face, as she walked out from the palace.]
[It was Zhu Zhuqing.]
[She did not appear to have been mistreated; her pretty face even looked rather rosy, her eyes holding a complex expression.]
[Seeing Tang Chuan and the Azure Emperor Sect members, her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but she ultimately lowered her head.]
["Zhuqing, come here."]
[Tang Chuan said calmly.]
[Zhu Zhuqing shook off the palace maids' support and quickly walked to stand behind Tang Chuan, whispering, "Sect Master, I..."]
["We'll talk after we return."]
[Tang Chuan cut her off, his gaze still fixed on Dai Tianfeng.]
[Dai Tianfeng's smile didn't diminish. He stepped aside, making a gesture of "please."]
["Sect Master Tang has come from afar, and such a misunderstanding has occurred. This Emperor truly feels uneasy."]
["Why not come inside the palace for a chat? Allow this Emperor to prepare some simple wine as an apology, how about it?"]
[One shouldn't strike a smiling face.]
[Tang Chuan looked at Dai Tianfeng's enthusiastic, beaming face, his suspicions deepening.]
[This Star Luo Emperor's attitude was abnormally good.]
[But things had reached this point; the person had been retrieved. If he refused too strongly now, it would instead make the Azure Emperor Sect seem petty.]
[Moreover, he wanted to see what medicine Dai Tianfeng was selling in his gourd.]
Not to mention Tang Chuan.
Seeing this, whether in the Black World or the White World...
Whether among human powers or Vicious Beasts like Gu Yuena, Di Tian, and the Snow Empress, all were filled with doubt.
Unable to figure out what Dai Tianfeng was trying to do.
Could it be... it was truly a misunderstanding?!
White World, Star Luo Imperial Palace.
Upon seeing his own abnormal behavior in the comparison video...
Dai Tianfeng's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he couldn't help but laugh excitedly.
"Just as I thought!"
"This Emperor said, why would this Emperor, for the sake of Mubai and Zhuqing—a pair destined to fail in the imperial succession competition—offend a Genius and monster with limitless potential like Tang Chuan!"
"Looking at it now, this matter is absolutely not that simple!"
"This Emperor's wisdom is far beyond what that old fool Xue Ye can compare to!"
"Next, both the Black and White Worlds, prepare to be shocked!"
