Legend of Swordsman

However, the black-robed old man continued to ask, "But I must ask the Second Prince, how is the current situation of the First Prince?"

Prince Jiu's face was quickly turning into a dark cloud, his mouth twitching incessantly as he spoke through gritted teeth, "Fine, he's doing fine."

The black-robed elder burst into laughter upon hearing this, "Very good, very good indeed. Since the First Prince is unharmed, I can leave with peace of mind."

"No, Senior, you cannot leave," he hurriedly spoke, "Changfu was once the Senior Elder appointed by my father, the Emperor. Now, he has sacrificed himself to protect me, and I have no other Senior Elders by my side."

"So, I implore you, Senior, to become my Senior Elder."

After Prince Jiu finished speaking, he earnestly looked at the black-robed elder.

Jian Wushuang narrowed his eyes slightly, realizing that after all this talking and circling around, Prince Jiu intended for the black-robed elder to replace Changfu as his Senior Elder.

It had to be said that Prince Jiu indeed possessed a certain level of cunning and charisma, able to gain recognition even in a highly passive situation.

It was likely that the black-robed elder would eventually become his Senior Elder.

At this moment, Jian Wushuang couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. If the black-robed elder joined Prince Jiu's camp, the power struggle among the Emperor's sons would become even more frightening.

He couldn't forget that the Prince Alliance led by Prince Jiu had almost succeeded in erasing the Young Emperor from existence.

Just as Jian Wushuang began to have doubts, the black-robed elder spoke calmly, "Second Prince, I'm sorry, but I cannot comply with your request. Ever since the ancient catastrophe, I have been on an irreversible path towards decline. The fact that I can still exist today is unimaginable. Therefore, I cannot stay by your side."

Prince Jiu was momentarily taken aback, clearly not realizing that the black-robed elder would refuse so decisively. He quickly cupped his hands and bowed, "Please, Senior, you must agree."

A Prince paying his respects was an unimaginable act in the Great Si Region. Moreover, the black-robed elder had countless ties to Emperor Zhen Wuyang, so refusing was almost unacceptable.

However, this courtesy was not allowed to continue as the black-robed elder directly waved his hand, causing Prince Jiu to straighten his posture.

Then, he spoke sternly, "A Prince should possess the dignity of a Prince. In the Heavenly Court, aside from the Emperor, there is no need for anyone else to show reverence."

"I am truly beyond redemption and can no longer assist you, Second Prince. Please do not hold it against me."

Prince Jiu wanted to say something more, but the black-robed elder did not give him a chance to speak.

He turned and walked toward Jian Wushuang, speaking with a voice that only they could hear, "Young Friend, if you see Yu Chang again, tell him that his old friend has passed away, and he should not dwell on it."

"And also, let him find another sword when he has the chance. Going without a sword is ultimately not feasible."

Jian Wushuang's eyes lit up when he heard this.

It was only at this moment that he realized that he and Prince Jiu had both made a mistake.

That is, the black-robed elder had never been the right-hand man of Emperor Zhen Wuyang.

He had never been.

And at this moment, Jian Wushuang also realized that Yu Chang used a sword as well, but his ink-blue longsword was condensed from fate energy, much like Jian Wushuang's Invisible Sword.

The reason Jian Wushuang used an Invisible Sword was that his Tarot Divine Sword had been destroyed, and he currently had no sword to carry his Wushuang Sword Dao.

Likewise, Yu Chang used an Invisible Sword because his longsword had been destroyed.

Yu Chang was a true Peak Grand Yan Immortal and even had a Sword Spirit. He had indeed wielded an unparalleled sword, free from all constraints.

The only one worthy of this sword, apart from Zhen Wuyang, was none other than Yu Chang.

In the vast Great Si Region, a domain with dual Emperors!

This was a hidden secret, known perhaps only to the elders who had survived from the era of the Ancient War, apart from Jian Wushuang.

Yu Chang was also an Emperor, which sounded incredibly unbelievable, but it was indeed a fact.

As a Peak Grand Yan Immortal, the black-robed elder had the right to be called the Sword Emperor!

And only Yu Chang had the right to be his master.

This was evident from the black-robed elder referring to himself as Yu and gifting Jian Wushuang a dark blue ink crystal inscribed with Yu's name.

After saying these words, the black-robed elder smiled warmly and tapped his wrist.

Jian Wushuang understood immediately and subconsciously looked at his own wrist, where he wore a rugged and majestic Canghai Bracelet.

"The bracelet... could it be related to Uncle Yu?" He momentarily felt confused.

The memories from the time when he traveled from the Endless Sea to the Heavenly Court were fragmented and shattered, and Jian Wushuang could not recall any memory clues, so he had no way of knowing the origin of the Canghai Bracelet.

"Alright, the matter is settled. I will continue waiting for my death," the black-robed elder laughed heartily and prepared to leave.

However, at this moment, Jian Wushuang's expression changed, and he looked at the elder with a bitter smile. "I'm afraid, Senior, you can't leave yet. That guy has appeared again."

Upon hearing this, the Divine Craftsman Xu Tuo and Nan Xuan both had their expressions change dramatically and almost simultaneously exclaimed, "How is that possible?"

Three times, truly perishing three times, yet each time coming back to life again, this had already exceeded imagination and was something that should be impossible.

Even Jian Wushuang himself felt deeply powerless in the face of the black-robed figure who emerged from the Heaven-Patterned Bone Armor.

"Could he really be indestructible?"

The concept of being indestructible was too terrifying; it was almost impossible to exist.

Even Jian Wushuang's Undying and Imperishable Immortal Body could not revive so quickly as the black-robed figure had done.

But the black-robed figure had achieved it, surviving and resurrecting even in the hands of a Peak Grand Yan Immortal.

The black-robed elder had obviously not anticipated this situation, and his brow furrowed slightly.

"You all wait here; I will go and completely suppress him before returning."

With that, he soared toward the empty void of nothingness.

Buzz!!!

An unparalleled wave of sound shook the surroundings, causing even the void of nothingness to tremble.

The power of a Peak Grand Yan Immortal was fully on display at this moment.

The black-robed figure continued to resurrect at the same spot as before, and a vast dark purple radiance surged from under his oversized black robe, shrouding everything.

"Seeking death!"

The black-robed elder snorted in anger, and his thunderous voice echoed throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Then, a heaven-enveloping giant palm descended towards the black-robed figure.

This moment made even the Heavenly Dao tremble.

The black-robed figure seemed to sense something and looked up at the empty void.

Finally, he was no longer indifferent and reached out to confront the attack.

A massive dark purple beam of light seemed capable of splitting the void into two, crashing fiercely into the void.

The palm, formed from the order of the Heavenly Dao and the ancient Dao of eternity, descended heavily.

When the two collided, an immeasurable force erupted, causing a terrifying explosion that shook the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

At the peak of the Sancun Mountain, Jian Wushuang's eyes narrowed as he witnessed this scene.

Without any hesitation, he released his own Yan power, enveloping the entire mountain within a protective barrier.
