Legend of Swordsman

Everything was within the plan.

Even though Tie San was furious, he was cautious. He directly informed his elder brother, Chang Feng Sword God, of everything that had happened.

After learning about it, Chang Feng Sword God pondered for a while and speculated that Wu Zuo intended to use Jian Wushuang to seek the position of the Palace Master.

He instructed Tie San to go find Wu Zuo and explain their intentions.

As long as they could suppress Jian Wushuang, they would fully support Wu Zuo to become the Palace Master.

Moreover, they would actively recruit Qingniu and, in one stroke, pull down Emperor Lu Hua.

This way, there would still be three Palace Masters, and the interests would remain unchanged.

The key was to thoroughly offend Jian Wushuang. They decided to take this extreme measure, pulling down Jian Wushuang along with Wu Zuo without hesitation.

However, they didn't know that by doing so, they fell right into the plans of Jian Wushuang and Wu Zuo.

Lu Hua hurriedly arrived at the scene.

Seeing Jian Wushuang imprisoned, he inwardly cursed Wu Zuo for being foolish.

Jian Wushuang was now a distinguished figure in the Elder Palace, and Zhen Ling would undoubtedly be aware of it.

Once the Dao Merge succeeded, Jian Wushuang might become the successor of the Qishen Temple.

Offending such a figure for the sake of a Palace Master position seemed irrational.

One could only say that Wu Zuo's vision was becoming increasingly narrow.

Upon Lu Hua's arrival, Wu Zuo followed suit.

"Release him first; I'll vouch for him!" Emperor Lu Hua spoke up.

Wu Zuo hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "The soonest will be at least 10,000 years later. After Tie San's wedding, I'll release Jian Wushuang!"

"You!" Emperor Lu Hua's expression darkened, pointing at Wu Zuo. "How can I describe you? Jian Wushuang is an Inheritor, an Inheritor of the Ultimate Dao. Now that he's almost at the completion stage of his Ultimate Dao, aren't you afraid he'll come after you once he achieves it?"

Wu Zuo coldly snorted, glaring at Emperor Lu Hua, and angrily said, "Hesitation and indecision! The last time I chose the Palace Master, you said the same thing. You really disappoint me!"

Whether this statement was part of the act or an inadvertent revelation remained unclear.

The last time Lu Hua served as the Palace Master, he behaved improperly, and Wu Zuo still harbored some resentment.

"Fine, since that's the case, go ahead and walk your solitary path!" Emperor Lu Hua didn't want to bring up the events of the last time because it was indeed his fault.

If he had been more firm, Wu Zuo might have actually become the Palace Master.

Unfortunately!

Chang Feng's strength was too weak, and once Wu Zuo took over, the alliance between the two had already disrupted the balance in the current Elder Palace.

Lu Hua was aware of this and chose not to insist any further.

Now, with the two of them joining forces, they had reached a delicate balance with Qingniu and Chang Feng.

However, this delicate balance was about to be disrupted soon, and this time, Wu Zuo wouldn't be standing by his side.

Instead, he would find himself in a disadvantaged position, and due to the matter of the Origin Source of All Things, he might even end up isolated.

By then, the position of the Palace Master might be at risk.

There was no time to turn back now; he could only bet everything on Jian Wushuang and see it through.

The more it came to this, the more he needed to quickly bring Jian Wushuang out.

A timely help is better than an embellishment when it's already perfect.

"Hall Master Wu Zuo, it's fine if you want to keep him in captivity, but I need to interrogate him. Let me in to see Jian Wushuang. This shouldn't violate any rules, right?" Emperor Lu Hua regained his indifferent expression.

This time, Wu Zuo did not refute. He took out a token and opened the prison, allowing Emperor Lu Hua to enter.

Once inside the prison, Palace Master Lu Hua immediately set up a barrier to prevent Wu Zuo from eavesdropping outside.

Later, he took steps towards Jian Wushuang.

"Palace Lord!" Jian Wushuang struggled to rise, his breath extremely weak.

He wasn't concealing his aura; instead, he intentionally let Wu Zuo inflict serious injuries on him, suppressing without recovery.

If needed, he could restore himself to the peak at any moment, such was the terror of the power of Life.

Emperor Lu Hua keenly felt this and quickly approached, supporting Jian Wushuang and infusing his own power to help him regain some strength.

"There are some things you should come to me for. Wu Zu has always been unreliable. I forgot to remind you!" Emperor Lu Hua's expression was regretful.

Jian Wushuang was stunned for a moment, then showed anger. Through gritted teeth, he said, "I was careless this time. I didn't expect Wu Zu to play me!"

"Don't worry, he can't harm you. I will find a way to get you out as soon as possible, within 10,000 years!" Emperor Lu Hua reassured.

"10,000 years!" Jian Wushuang's eyes showed a hint of anxiety. He spoke, "Palace Master, can you get me out before the grand wedding of Tie San?"

His expression changed, determination in his eyes. He even bowed directly, requesting, "Palace Master Lu Hua, I'm begging you. As long as you let me out, I will be eternally grateful for this great kindness!"

"Jian Wushuang, what are you doing?" Emperor Lu Hua reached out to help Jian Wushuang up, saying hurriedly, "Don't worry, even if I don't hold the position of Palace Master, I'll still get you out!"

After all, he wouldn't hold the position for much longer, and he wasn't afraid of being caught by Chang Feng and Qingniu for his previous actions. He might as well cause a disturbance in the Law Enforcement Hall's prison at that time.

Upon hearing the assurance, Jian Wushuang finally stood up, joy evident in his eyes.

After leaving behind some treasures to restore the Origin Source, Emperor Lu Hua departed.

Jian Wushuang watched his departing figure, feeling a stirring in his heart. Despite knowing that the other had clear objectives, the willingness to abandon everything to help him earned genuine gratitude from Jian Wushuang.

He vowed that when he ascended to the throne, he would not mistreat Lu Hua.

Emperor Lu Hua, upon leaving the prison, didn't spare a glance at Wu Zuo. With a cold snort, he waved his sleeve and departed.

He was disappointed in Wu Zuo.

The two had been good friends for many years, and now their relationship seemed to have crumbled.

In the ancient era, although Emperor Lu Hua was not the direct heir of Qishen Temple, he came from a prestigious family, a legitimate descendant of a Universe Master.

Venturing through the river of time, he met Wu Zuo, and the two had experienced numerous trials together.

It was a friendship that transcended life and death.

"Hmph, this time I'm one step ahead of you!" Wu Zuo muttered to himself. After glancing at Jian Wushuang in the prison, he turned and left.

News of his suppression quickly spread.

Even the Inheritors on the Grave God Mountain learned a fair amount.

In the Earthly Realm's secret realm, Hu Qing also received the news promptly.

"Brother Wushuang, this time I can't help you!" Hu Qing slightly closed his eyes, situated in an extremely malevolent pool.

Meanwhile, in the shadows, Long Yi marveled at everything and reported the situation to Zhen Ling.

...

Inside the prison.

Jian Wushuang sat cross-legged in the corner, and there was no change in his aura.

However, in the Sea of Origin Source within him, his Origin Source clone was practicing the pinnacle supreme technique he created.

As a Dao Lord, he could create a pinnacle supreme technique, making him one of a kind.

Eternal Calamity!

The first sword move was still a bit rough!

"Swords may be lifeless, but strength is alive!" Jian Wushuang shook his head.
