Chapter 475 Yinglong (2/2)
Chen Qing was fortunate to receive guidance from Zhu Jia. The knowledge that she gained was beyond any ordinary trader.
After Shen Lian departed from the entourage of traders, a young man appeared. He had a broad long sword that was made of green bronze and other metals behind his back.
He observed Shen Lian for quite a while until Shen Lian was out of his sight.
The trader said, ”Wu Ding, why are you so bothered about the little prince of Xi Liang kingdom right now? He has been around with the entourage for quite some time and you have never talked to him.”
The young man named Wu Ding responded, ”Yi Gui, don't you think he is somewhat special?”
The trader's name was Yi Gui and he did not have a family name. 'Yi' represented the second son while 'Gui' means that he was an intelligent person. Yi Gui responded, ”He is indeed special. You noticed too. He had an ordinary breathe, he is not a Qi cultivator neither did he posses any special bloodline.”Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click visiting.
”But in this long journey, have you ever seen him panic? He was always looking outside and yet he never had any exciting expression when someone discovered something new. He was always so calm and that calmness reminded me of someone.” Wu Ding answered.
”Like who?” Yi Gui did not pay attention to the details and thought the little prince of Xi Liang Kingdom was very quiet and composed. But he had a black tiger that followed him and it looked really imbalance.
Wu Ding did not continue the conversation but a figure came to his mind. The person was slightly taller than average, he was not very handsome but was not ugly either. The person was always calm and warm. Nothing in this world could baffle him and there were no problems that he could not solve.
He was as skillful as Emperor Xia in terms of martial arts but he never liked to show off unlike Emperor Xia.
Emperor Xia compared himself to the sun and wanted to spread his prestige to every corner of the word like the sunshine. That was why the prison built by Emperor Xia was very intriguing. It was a high platform set in the entrance of the Wang Cheng Square. Anyone who entered the Wang Cheng Square would see it.
The four sides of the prison had sun sacrificial formations that gathered endless Real Fire of the Sun that kept the platform on fire.
Rumour had it that the temperature there was so high that refined iron would melt in there.
The platform was known as Xia Tai. It was custom made according to Emperor Xia's wishes. The fine pattern carvings of Xia Tai were carved by thousands of slaves who died during the process.
Xia Tai had one prisoner. He looked like he was in his thirties but after a closer look, he looked more like he was in his twenties. He had deep eyes that looked like it hid million years of knowledge in it.
The guards around did not dare to look at Xia Tai. The man's clothes had turned into ashes as his flesh and skin were burned in red. His headful of black hair was not ignited but it looked somewhat charred.
”Zi Lu, the Emperor really admired you. As long as you apologize sincerely and not act so recklessly , the Emperor would allow release you from Xia Tai.” A loud voice passed through the raging Real Fire of the Sun to reach the platform so that the man could hear it clearly.
Zi was the family name while Lu was the name. Zi Lu was Tianyi, the Monarch of Yin Shang, also the strongest person of Yin Shang.
The Real Fire of the Sun of Xia Tai could easily immolate any one of the seven people Xuan Zhen. But Tianyi had been held captive for half a year and looking at his conditions, he would probably remained safe for the next six months.
Tianyi did not ignore the words of the passerby, he said, ”What happened to Yinglong? He would usually stay asleep for ten years and would not wake up even if lightning struck on it. But he made an odd movement just now. Could it be that a great existence has entered Di Qiu?”
”Zi Lu, no one is able to save you. The only way out is to be pardoned by the Emperor. Even if a powerful person entered Di Qiu, there is no way that you could escape. As a minister of the Emperor, there is nothing wrong with admitting your faults.”
