C37 (1/2)
Although it was early in the morning, Wu Du had already become lively in the morning light. From the distance, one could see smoke rising from within the tall, thick, and ancient city walls.
If one looked further inside, they would be able to see the vague outline of a golden city through the clouds and the faint glow of morning light. This was the Imperial Palace of the East Wu, the forbidden area for commoners, the place where Wu Yu had grown up.
”Wu Du...”
Wu Yu, wearing a 'monkey mask' and carrying a heavy Demon Subduing Rod on his back, appeared in the forest outside of Wu City. He stood on the branch of a huge tree, gazing at Wu Du in the morning light.
”It seems like a bustling city has no idea that demons are wreaking havoc in a dark corner.”
Wu Yu could clearly remember how he had been sent out of the Wu Capital after taking the Soul Splitting Powder, and how he had been followed by the Snake Demon.
”Sister Wu You.”
There was a reason why he didn't control the Sky Cloud Peng and fly straight into the Wu Capital. He had to sneak into Wu City and see Wu You before the war started.
”Supreme Celestial Haotian should have been at the Qi Condensation stage for quite some time, so he definitely won't be as easy to deal with as Situ Qing. I have to first approach him as a supervisor of an immortal country before knowing his abilities. Only then will I be able to make a move.”
”Let's go.”
He placed Tian Yunpeng here and sped up. In the eyes of mortals, he was a flash of golden light. Without anyone noticing, he had already entered Wu City and was walking on the busy streets.
”Whiz!”
Wu Du was huge, but to the current Wu Yu, it was very small.
”The Worryfree Palace.”
Raising his head, he saw that the most conspicuous palace to the east of the Imperial Palace was the Worryfree Palace, the palace that the late emperor had specially bestowed upon Princess Wuyou. After arriving here, Wu Yu was a little nervous. He knew that with Wu You's personality, it would be difficult for Xi Fei to tolerate him. Who knew that after leaving for such a long time, what would happen?
”Sis, you must be safe …” Wu Yu acknowledged himself as a seven-foot-tall man, and even now, he was not afraid of the heavens or the earth, nor even death. However, his heart was still trembling as he arrived at the Worryfree Palace.
He quietly snuck into the Worryfree Palace. The internal guards of the Palace were still normal, but the maids and maids were in an orderly fashion. This made Wu Yu feel slightly more relaxed. He walked past Princess Wuyou's sleeping quarters, but he did not see her.
”It should be over there.”
Wu You's only hobby was studying. He had been like this since he was young. Although he wasn't very old, he was definitely one of the most learned people in the Eastern Yue Wu Country. Wu Yu had always loved martial arts since he was young, and he didn't even want to read a single one of the books or poems that he had learned.
In the study.
Wu Yu stood at the back of the yard outside the window. Through the window, he could see the silhouette of a woman beside the desk. She was wearing the uniform of the palace and was writing with a brush in her jade hands. Wu Yu's gaze passed through the paper window and clearly saw her appearance. She was Princess Wuyou.
A gentle and moving woman.
She focused on the white paper on the table. Her long hair slid down from her ears. There were traces of tears in her pretty eyes, and her expression was haggard.
A maid stood beside him, grinding ink while wiping away her tears.
This scene, quiet and a little desolate ….
In any case, she was still alive and unharmed. For Wu Yu, this was the best news. His taut heartstrings had finally relaxed at this moment.
When he saw her again, this sister who had accompanied him and taken care of him since he was young, he had narrowly escaped death, and his eyes were slightly red. Wu Yu would never be able to forget the frail figure that she had chased after the prison cart that winter night.
Not long after, the white paper on the desk was filled with words. Although the words on it were numerous, they were all written with one word: Wu Yu.
Perhaps she could entrust it to her thoughts of Wu Yu, who had passed away.
At this moment, Wu Yu really wanted to walk in and let her know that he had returned safely.
”No. He still didn't know the true strength of Supreme Immortal Clear Sky. Once he's more powerful than me, I'll have to endure for a while longer. If elder sister knows who I am, she will definitely reveal my identity. ”
Wu Yu was still quite rational.
”Sis, I'll repay you in the future.”
Every time he stayed here for a little longer, he would feel pampering in his heart. However, what he wanted was revenge! Therefore, after confirming Wu You's safety, he left resolutely. This time, he wanted to openly descend upon Wu Du and face to face with that Clear Sky Immortal!
The supervising immortal country was a matter of both the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Central Origin Sect. It was in accordance with the rules set by the two sects, as long as Wu Yu didn't reveal his identity. Exalted Immortal Clear Heaven did not dare to do anything to him.
After leaving the Worryfree Palace, Wu Yu prepared to leave the city on his Heavenly Cloud Peng. Only in the sky could he enter the Wu Capital as a deity in front of all these people!
As they walked through the city, they could faintly hear people discussing a name — Yuan Chen.
After Wu Yu was crippled, it was the eldest son of the Xifei, Yuan Hao, who became the Emperor of Dong Wu. In Wu Yu's eyes, Yuan Hao was a real trash.
