The Prodigies War

Chapter 1924: Emperor Yan City

Jiangshui, one of the eight major water systems in the Great Primordial Chaos World, was located at the border of Reed State.

The Imperial Jiang Clan was entrenched in the upper parts of Jiangshui.

The mighty river rolled and roared thunderously. On the banks of Jiangshui, Bo Yazi and Lin Xun traveled towards the upper reaches of the river.

"The Imperial Jiang Clan descended from Primeval Emperor Yan. Although this clan suffered severely in the Dao War of Emperors, its foundation should not be underestimated."

Along their journey, Bo Yazi explained the circumstances surrounding the clan to Lin Xun.

"The current clan leader, Jiang Xinglin, has one foot in the threshold of the Emperor Stage. He could be considered a half-step Emperor, which is stronger than a quasi-Emperor.

"In addition to Jiang Xinglin, this clan still has many other quasi-Emperors and hundreds of thousands of normal clan members

"Of course, none of this is important. The important thing is that Jiang Xingque, who you want to meet, is the elder sister of Jiang Xinglin."

Lin Xun raised his eyebrows. "So, if someone wants to meet Senior Jiang Xingque, they would need to deal with Jiang Xinglin?"

Bo Yazi smiled and responded, "My young friend, although Jiang Xinglin is the clan leader, he is still not the most difficult character to deal with. The tricky ones are the old Emperors who are still in this clan."

They had several old Emperors!

Lin Xun's heart trembled. This clan had several Emperors overseeing them. Was this the foundation of a Primeval Imperial Clan?

Compared with this, Yu Qingyang’s Imperial Yu Clan was not as good as this.

After all, one was a Primeval Imperial Clan while the other was an Ancient Imperial Clan, so there was definitely a difference between the two.

"Fortunately, a while ago, I asked an old friend to help me get in touch with an Emperor-level ancestor named Jiang Rui. This time, it should not be difficult to just meet with Jiang Xingque,” added Bo Yazi with a smile.

While Bo Yazi was also an Emperor, he needed to ask someone to help facilitate a connection when trying to interact with the Imperial Jiang Clan.

After all, Jiang Xingque was a touchy subject for the clan.

After the end of the Dao War of Emperors three of the Great Six Courts, Panwu, Heaven and Earth, and Primordial, along with some other major forces, worked together. In order to completely eliminate the influence of Fangchun Mountain, they searched and captured forces related to Fangchun Mountain all over the world.

Because of her close relationship with Xuan Kong, a disciple of Fangchun Mountain, Jiang Xingque was also implicated and was regarded as someone related to that lineage.

Subsequently, the clan was forced to treat Jiang Xingque as a sinner and had imprisoned her. If they didn't do this, the clan would inevitably suffer an unimaginable blow.

Although Jiang Xingque was jailed as a sinner, in the end she was saved by this.

However, these were old stories from ancient times. Only some old antiques in the current clan knew of the truth behind these secrets.

Unfortunately, they would not tell the others about this in order to avoid news leaking out and causing more trouble.

However, the current members of the clan only knew that Jiang Xingque was regarded as the eternal sinner of the clan without the true reason behind it. Thus, she was a blot of shame, and they had no desire to mention anything related to her.

Because of all that, Bo Yazi, a true Emperor, had to take great pains to finally win such an opportunity for Lin Xun to meet Jiang Xingque.

If Lin Xun went there by himself, he was doomed to be disappointed.

"Thank you so much, Fellow Daoist," Lin Xun said.

Bo Yazi waved his hand and said, "Junior Uncle, please don't act like this."

As the two talked, they could see a red and flaming mountain range in the distance that stretched across the horizon.

It looked like a coiled fire dragon that was winding endlessly and magnificent.

"That is Danxia Sacred Mountain, located in the upper reaches of Jiangshui. It is said that Primeval Emperor Yan became an Emperor on this mountain. Since then, Danxia Sacred Mountain has become the ancestral land of the Imperial Jiang Clan, and generations have lived there."

Bo Yazi explained all of this emotionally.

Primeval Emperor Yan!

He was a legendary figure with great magical powers and supreme power. Like Emperor Bai he was among the five emperors who were known as the Five Directions Great Emperors.

Danxia Sacred Mountain was the place where he had become an Emperor, so it could be considered a first-class paradise in the Primordial Chaos World.

"This mountain is full of clouds and mist, and it suffused with divine spirit making it as powerful as a dragon. It is indeed a rare treasure land."

Lin Xun nodded.

A moment later, they were in front of a mountain gate that led to Danxia Sacred Mountain.

An expert guarding the mountain gate shouted, "Who is it?"

Bo Yazi did not respond verbally and instead waved his sleeves. A fiery red jade token flew out and passed through the air.

The expert took a look and immediately showed respectful expression as he said, "Senior, wait a moment."

He turned around and quickly entered the mountain gate to report.

"Yes."

Not long after, they heard a hearty laugh from the mountain gate, and a rough-looking middle-aged man who was wearing a fiery robe moved out of the void. The aura flowing all over him turned into a series of gorgeous law chains that covered the heavens and earth. He was a terrifying sight!

Lin Xun stopped breathing for a moment.

From a distance, the rough middle-aged man in the fiery robe resembled a volcano, with the power to burn the sky and destroy the world.

"Junior Uncle, this man is Jiang Rui, an old monster who is an Emperor. But he doesn't know my true identity."

Bo Yazi transmitted a message to Lin Xun as he smiled and walked up. He commented, "I'm sorry to bother you at this time."

Jiang Rui laughed loudly, "What are you talking about, please come in!"

Bo Yazi nodded, took Lin Xun with him, followed by Jiang Rui, and entered the mountain gate.

Whoosh~

A forbidden formation rippled. When he could see again, Lin Xun was greeted with a fairytale-like atmosphere.

A sacred mountain that was tens of thousands of feet high towered into the clouds. Beside it, waterfalls fell from above looking like a galaxy falling from the sky, making it a misty, vast expanse of white.

The spiritual mountain was surrounded by celestial clouds. The divine light was dense as it overflowed with splendor, making it an extremely magnificent sight.

Boom!

A group of fiery war beasts rushed through the mountain, their bodies as large as hills. Their radiance spread as they thundered through the area.

In the distance, he spotted magical birds and spirit beasts wandering around.

On the rocks around the sacred mountain, ancient medicinal herbs could be seen everywhere. Their fragrance permeated the air. There were also rare divine trees and ancient vines that bore exotic flowers and fruits.

Everywhere he looked presented a magnificent scene of divine beauty, like a fairytale world in a painting!

It was worthy of being the place where Primeval Emperor Yan had proved his dao.

Lin Xun sighed inwardly.

"Dao Friend, please come this way."

Jiang Rui led the way.

When Lin Xun gazed ahead, he saw a towering ancient city that was suspended in the air between the mountains in the distance. Auspicious clouds and primal chaos qi streamed around it, making it look magnificent and incomparable.

Lin Xun’s eyes widened. This was definitely the most majestic city he had ever seen. It was located between the mountains and suspended in the air. Compared to it, he felt as small as an ant.

On top of the huge city was a gate tower with an ancient plaque hanging on it. The flowing divine light and the mist filled the air. Three words could be vaguely seen: Emperor Yan City!

This was the ancestral land of the Jiang Clan. It was created by Primeval Emperor Yan himself. Generations of descendants of the clan had lived in it.

This city was connected to the sky above and the mountains below, and it seemed to be sitting high in the sky, looking down on all living things.

Although Lin Xun and his team had attracted many curious looks along the way, they did not encounter any troubles and entered Emperor Yan City under the guidance of Jiang Rui.

Inside the city was another scene. It was not rows upon rows of buildings, but instead a well-arranged paradise.

Moreover, this city led to the nearby mountains, and there were white jade stairs connecting the top and bottom. This outlined a wonder of crisscrossing paths and numerous caves.

Lin Xun and Bo Yazi were guided to a verdant and lush paradise. Nearby there were pine and cypress trees, swaying bamboo, and winding streams. Abundant amounts of aeth qi surrounded them.

Jiang Rui said, "Dao Friend, please wait here for a moment, I will make some arrangements and then take you to the clan's forbidden area."

"Thank you, Dao Friend," Bo Yazi responded with a cupped fist salute.

After watching Jiang Rui leave, Bo Yazi then transmitted a message, "Junior Uncle, this is already an important place to the Imperial Jiang Clan. They may be monitoring our every move, so we must be careful."

Lin Xun nodded.

Time passed by bit by bit. Jiang Rui still did not appear after the time it took to burn a stick of incense. At this point, Bo Yazi could not help but frown.

Did something unexpected happen?

At this moment, Jiang Rui, still wearing his fiery robe, came hurriedly. With a guilty look on his face, he said, "Dao Friend, I'm afraid I can't help you this time."

Lin Xun and Bo Yazi looked at each other as a sinking feeling appeared in their stomachs.

"Dao Friend, did something unexpected happen?” asked Bo Yazi.

Jiang Rui's expression flickered. He glanced at Bo Yazi evasively and said, "Dao Friend, if you trust me, then don't ask about this matter anymore. It's better to leave now."

Bo Yazi was not willing to leave like this. He frowned and said, "Dao Friend, can you be more flexible? You can't just...let me make this trip in vain?"

Jiang Rui shook his head. "There is no room for maneuver in this matter."

Bo Yazi was about to say something, but then he saw Lin Xun shaking his head slightly. He immediately suppressed his displeasure and said, "Forget it, we will leave now."

Jiang Rui hesitated and then he finally sighed softly while saying, "I will give you an answer in the future."

Bo Yazi was too lazy to listen anymore.

After all, he was also an Emperor. He had come all this way, but had been rejected, making him feel extremely dissatisfied.

However, just when Bo Yazi and Lin Xun were about to leave, an indifferent voice suddenly sounded, "Since the two of you are here, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Swish!

A tall and old figure appeared out of thin air. He was wearing a jade robe with black hair like ink, and his pair of eyes surged with terrifying divine flames.

He blocked their way, exuding the power of a supreme god!

Bo Yazi narrowed his eyes and subconsciously blocked Lin Xun behind him.

Jiang Rui's expression flickered slightly as he said, "Seventh Uncle, why are you here?"

This person was one of the Emperors of the Jiang Clan, Jiang Yutong. He was an old antique who had certified his dao as an Emperor in ancient times.

Not only was his cultivation terrifying, but his seniority was also terrifyingly high. Jiang Rui, who was also an emperor, was just a junior of his.

"This is Emperor Yan City, the territory of our Imperial Jiang Clan. So why can’t I be here?”

Jiang Yutong stated in a cold voice as he gazed at Bo Yazi and Lin Xun behind him in an unfriendly manner.
