Chapter 22 Friends (1/2)

All people looked up and saw this scene, their hearts and minds quivering.

Li Ye jumped off the attic and picked up Li Yao who had already fainted in the courtyard like a dead fish. He jumped back two steps to the roof of the main courtyard. With a wave of his big hand, Li Yao was thrown away and slammed down to the ground.

With Luke Sword in hand, Li Ye glanced at the cultivators in front of the floral-pendant gate without a word.

His long hair landed on his shoulders and the roof restored calm again that even the falling needles were audible.

There was still a crescent moon in the night sky. The Milky Way and the stars were as bright and clear as before.

No noise, no one spoke.

People in the courtyard whether the cultivators in front of the floral-pendant gate or the guards in Great Mystery Formation, all widened their eyes and opened their mouths that were big enough to tuck an egg in. Speechlessly, they stared blankly at Heir Apparent who was standing on the roof with a sword.

They would not forget this scene tonight even after a very long time.

In their lifetime, they would always remember how graceful Li Ye was underneath the night sky and the stars ocean.

No words could be used to describe that kind of demeanor.

But they would remember how Li Ye made them feel.

The return of the king.

A few breaths of time were like as long as a few spring and autumn.

Having been knocked into the air by Luke Sword, Cloud Splitter Spear now fell from the night sky and inserted straightly in the roof, its trembling body made a slight whirring sound. It was not until now that all the people managed to regain their consciousness one after another.

The whirring sound Cloud Splitter Spear made when it faced Luke Sword was just like a tremulous and tender worship of a courtier to the emperor.

Li Muzhao had already jerked up. His bulging eyes looking at Li Ye, there was no other color in his eyes except awe and fear.

”Childe Yao... Unexpectedly failed?”

”A genius in Chang'an City who also used a top-grade cultivation method 'Nine-roar Rousing Pythons: Forbidden Spell', was directly banged into unconsciousness?”

”What was the cultivation method of Li Ye? Why was it so strong?”

”Never to Kunlun Never See Immortals, Sky Pond Sword Kills Immortals... Purple Qi sky pond sword... The kind of swordsmanship that can even kill immortals certainly can defeat Childe Yao. Is this very appropriate?”

Those cultivators looked at each other that they could only speak but could not move.

They dared not to move.

As they had just said that Li Yao's Forbidden Spell of Nine roars rouse pythons could wipe out them all and it could be seen that the purple Qi sky pond sword had broken up the Forbidden Spell effortlessly, then if the sword turned to attack them, there wouldn't be anything left of them.

At this time, if Li Ye did not speak, who dare to move?

Heir Apparent was standing on the roof with his sword, the guards in Great Mystery Formation turned to look at him in unison, their eyes were hot with unspeakable excitement.

Li Yao was a genius leader of all Imperial Clan's offsprings. In the whole Chang'an city, there were only a few people such as Duchess of Li could be his equivalent in reputation. Standing high above the masses in usual, he was like an unconquerable hero, how magisterial could that be. Officers below five-class who saw him should be in a respect attitude, let alone Warrior Knights and Warrior Masters in Mortal Realm like them.

He was already a Level 3 Qi-refining practitioner in his twenties which meant that he had infinite possibilities in the future. Even if he could not build a foundation to achieve Spiritual Master Realm, he could at least reach a high level of Qi-refining and became a big shot who wielded the power of the empire.

A genius like that held his Cloud Splitter Spear and commanded a dozen practitioners of Qi techniques to rush in Prince An's Mansion and kill. He who abused his power and bullied the people was absolutely lawless... Who could have thought that he would be chopped down in the sky?

Previously when Li Ye used Forbidden Spell of Nine roars rouse pythons, many guards dropped their weapons under his pressure. While now the pressure was off, the guards held their weapons in hands again and looked up at Heir Apparent on the roof.

Different from the shocks of others, Shangguan Qingcheng had other emotions in her heart. As a ”warrior” who had been always loyal to Li Ye, the present scene was the same as what Shangguan Qingcheng would like to see in her dreams. She seemed to have seen a picture that Prince An Li Xian with her father was fighting on the battlefield in millions of troops and they decapitated the head of the enemy's chief commander. This made her whole body shake with excitement, her face was as white as Saussurea and her lips were as red as peach blossoms.

”Mighty Heir Apparent!”

Shangguan Qingcheng beat her chest with her fist, raising her arms and shouting. There was a whole lot she would like to say but only this sentence could express her mood accurately.

”Mighty Heir Apparent!”

Under the leadership of Shangguan Qingcheng, guards with knives beat their chest with fists, guards with spears strike the ground with their spears, guards hit the shields with knives. Amid the sound of wars, the guards roared their hardest, their morale was like a rolling thunder.

Li Ye pointed to the floral-pendant gate with the sword and said, ”Take them down.”

”Yes, Heir Apparent!”
