Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 952 953: Ling Xiao

Yet, Ye Qingcheng's beautiful eyes flickered as she gazed at their backs, her heart complex. Why is he so considerate to every woman, except for me?

...

Imperial City of the Cangye Kingdom.

The Imperial City of the Cangye Kingdom is millions of miles away from the Celestial Capital, a tiny country in the northern part of Celestial Capital. Even as a tiny country, it spans millions of miles in territory, for one reason: it is the Immortal Realm.

Now, the Imperial City of Cangye Kingdom is filled with armored soldiers, their presence shaking the heavens. Within the towering city walls are golden buildings, seemingly molded from gold, exuding solemnity.

A day later, a group of figures walked through the air, heading directly towards the Imperial City.

"Halt!" A commander shouted explosively, leaping into the sky. His golden armor gleamed brightly in the sunlight. Pointing the battle spear in his hand at the entourage of Haotian Sect, he said, "This is a critical area of the Imperial City, no unauthorized entry allowed!"

"Presumptuous!" Liu Yuan stepped forward, speaking coldly, "I am Liu Yuan, the Eldest Prince of Cangye Kingdom. Stand aside!"

Liu Yuan?

The commander emitted a hint of a cold smile and spoke flatly to Liu Yuan: "Do you still consider yourself a prince? Now your father's throne might not be secure, and I really don't understand why, having escaped the Imperial City, you would want to come back?"

"Truly audacious!" Di Tian stepped out and addressed the commander: "Do you know who I am? I am Di Tian, the Prince of the Celestial Capital. Stand aside!"

"What arrogance!" The commander snorted coldly: "Even if you were a dragon, here you must lay low!"

Upon hearing this, Di Tian's expression clouded. When had he suffered such humiliation? As a Prince of the Immortal Kingdom, wherever he went, he was the center of attention. Yet now, he received no respect.

Moreover, this place is a vassal country of the Celestial Capital Immortal Kingdom.

"You are truly bold!" Lin Qiushui stepped forward and coldly addressed the commander: "You are openly rebelling, do you know that?"

"You're right, we are rebelling!" The commander declared earnestly, leaving Lin Qiushui dumbfounded. The other side was indeed rebelling; what could he do about it?

Then, the commander continued: "If you don't leave, don't blame me for being discourteous!"

Doom doom~

As the words fell, below, millions of soldiers were densely packed, ominous fervor surging, all entering a state of readiness, extremely well-drilled, unmistakably a well-trained army.

"You are being much too lenient!" At this moment, a voice transmitted through the void. The people's gaze turned to see Xiao Tianyu holding Liu Yan, diving down. Without a word, he reached to grab the commander, showing no mercy.

Seeing this, the commander was greatly alarmed, immediately shouting: "How dare you behave presumptuously!"

"The princess descends; not only do you not pay respect, but you also speak of rebellion. Such insubordination, kill!"

As the voice fell, Xiao Tianyu's large hand grabbed directly, leaving the commander stunned, and before he could think further, immortal power burst forth. The battle spear shook and directly stabbed at Xiao Tianyu's large hand.

Bang~

With a loud noise, the battle spear shattered, Xiao Tianyu's hand grasped down, clenching it. The commander looked grim and threatened: "Below are a million soldiers. If you dare act recklessly, you will be crushed into mince!"

"Is that so?" Xiao Tianyu responded indifferently, then clenched his right hand. Bang~ the commander transformed into a cloud of blood mist, leaving Di Tian and others bewildered.

After a long pause, they said, "Xiao Tianyu, what are you doing? Do you know what this means?"

"Does it concern you?" Xiao Tianyu gave Di Tian a sidelong glance, causing Di Tian's face to darken, while Lin Qiushui stepped forward coldly: "Do you dare defy the Eldest Prince's intent?"

"Your arm is healed?" Xiao Tianyu's voice was chilly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiushui's heart trembled, his face ugly, for he knew very well what Xiao Tianyu meant.

"The general has been killed!" Below, among the million soldiers, a leader in armor shouted: "Archers, prepare!"

Swoosh swoosh swoosh~

In the front row, tens of thousands of archers strung their bows. But Liu Yan shouted: "Stop! I am Liu Yan, the Princess of Cangye Kingdom. Do you know this is rebellion?"

"Moreover, your general was executed for rebellion. Will you follow him? Would you like to be labeled as rebels? How will your descendants face others?" Despite being a woman, Liu Yan was extremely wise.

She continued: "For the Southern King's ambition, you leave a name cursed for eternity. Do you think it's worth it? Furthermore, Cangye Kingdom's royal house is backed by the Celestial Capital Immortal Kingdom. Can the Southern King succeed? If he fails, will you have a good end? Will your families have a good end?"

Liu Yan's voice was not loud, yet it resonated with the troops, causing the three armies' million soldiers to lower their heads. Even the archers lost their morale, obviously influenced by Liu Yan's words.

Indeed, if the Southern King failed in the rebellion, their days were numbered.

Even if they succeeded, they would still bear a name cursed for eternity, despised by future generations.

"Let's go in!" Seeing the three armies unmoving, Liu Yan looked over the crowd of Haotian Sect and said flatly, then the group stepped towards the Imperial City, finally stopping before a magnificent palace.

"The princess returns, why was I not informed?" At this moment, a group of figures walked leisurely from the front of the palace. Leading them was a young man in fine robes and a crown, evidently a person of distinguished status.

This person was none other than Ling Xiao, son of the Southern King.

Those following him were all prodigies of the Great Ming Immortal Sect.

"What have you done to my father!" Liu Yan snorted coldly, her gaze flickering with murderous intent. Ling Xiao smiled indifferently: "What could I do to your father? He is the king of Cangye Kingdom. Princess, you speak out of line. My Ling Family is loyal to the Liu royal family!"

"Loyal? Yet you gather the army to besiege the Imperial City?" Liu Yan snorted coldly.

"It was absolutely necessary. Your father is stubborn, unwilling to submit to the Great Ming Immortal Capital!" Ling Xiao's voice was indifferent as if discussing a trivial matter, infuriating Liu Yan: "Move, I want to see my father and mother!"

"Please, Princess!" Ling Xiao gestured politely, and as Liu Yan entered the Imperial Palace, Xiao Tianyu spread his senses, constantly monitoring Liu Yan's safety, though this fact remained unknown to anyone.

Meanwhile, Ling Xiao's gaze turned, and his first look fell on Ye Qingcheng. He paused abruptly, evidently stunned by Ye Qingcheng's beauty. However, Ling Xiao was, after all, a secret disciple of the Great Ming Immortal Sect, his state of mind extraordinary.
