Even in the face of Emperor Yu, he was still extremely polite.
Emperor Yu looked at him, knowing that this was the most exceptional talent of the Xia Family a thousand years ago, almost comparable to Li Junye of the Li Family a thousand years later.
If Li Junye had been born at an opportune time, he would have also entered the Immortal Gate in the past… Emperor Yu thought of that fallen talent and sighed inwardly, smiling at Xia Yucheng,
“It seems you have also gained a lot.”
Xia Yucheng smiled back, then glanced at Jiang Ziyan beside him, nodding with a respectful bow, which seemed to carry even more reverence.
Emperor Yu noticed this detail, surprise flickered in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by an even broader smile.
It seems his daughter did quite well there…
Now, as more and more people arrived, Jiang Ziyan, dressed in noble attire, looked up at the Immortal Gate, rose into midair, and said in a soft voice,
“Thank you, Master, for sending me off.”
“It’s a trivial matter. The other two Holy Lands will also come to pick people tomorrow; you should prepare.”
“I understand.”
Jiang Ziyan nodded and then saw the golden crack in space slowly disappearing, and the Saint’s Will inside also faded gradually.
Surrounded by people, Emperor Yu also noticed his daughter’s conversation, and upon hearing her address to the other, he paused, surprise and excitement flashing in his eyes, as he transmitted,
“Child, did you take a Saint as your master in there?”
Jiang Ziyan turned to look at her father, nodded slightly, and transmitted back, “Yes, but it’s complicated; I’ll explain later.”
Emperor Yu was startled, his delight turning into a sense of gravity. He nodded and scanned the crowd.
Apart from the Imperial Bloodline, two disciples of Gan Tao Palace’s Master Qin had also returned, their bodies faintly radiating Dao Power, but Emperor Yu could tell they were only in the True Man Realm.
But for Dayu now, two True People were enough to hold positions of power. Enjoy exclusive adventures from My Virtual Library Empire
In total, eighteen people had returned, out of which only five were in the Four Stands Realm; the rest were True People or even in the Dao Law Realm.
This power was simply too horrifying and sufficient for Dayu Divine Dynasty to be on a par with the central powerhouses of the Donghuang Continent.
And this was the return on an investment made a millennium ago, an investment that had caused the Dayu Divine Dynasty to decline from its peak, becoming a turning point, but now it was once again stronger than in the previous emperor’s era, astonishingly powerful beyond imagination!
However, Emperor Yu noticed that many familiar faces were missing, and the numbers were much fewer. Those who had entered the Immortal Gate a thousand years ago were more than this handful; his expression changed slightly.
The Immortal Gate, aside from aiding in cultivation, also had its opportunities and dangers.
“What about the others?”
Emperor Yu immediately inquired.
Xia Yucheng glanced around; seeing no one else answering, he briefly explained the situation.
It turned out that right after entering the Immortal Gate, they were selected by various powers and dispersed.
When they gathered again, it was a completely different scene.
“The few from the Helian family, I heard they went to challenge the Mo River and fell there.”
“The three from the Li Family, they were supposed to return with us this time, but they encountered trouble in their sect, and now they are entangled.”
“The Wang Family, I heard they ran into trouble with people from the Great Qing Nation, and they were assassinated…”
Xia Yucheng reported each situation he knew.
After listening, Emperor Yu’s expression subtly changed. Although he had anticipated the competition within the Immortal Gate to be extremely fierce, he had not expected so many problems even when all who went there were prodigies.
“Your Majesty, how is my Chen family now?”
“Your Majesty, is my sect still in existence?”
“Your Majesty…”
The others also began to ask about the state of affairs on Emperor Yu’s side, some of them impatient; besides the Imperial Family and the five Divine General Mansions, there were also prodigies from first-rate sects in Jianghu.
But as they left, their sects began to decline, clashing with other third-rate sects, leading to many casualties. If Emperor Yu hadn’t remembered that they once had a prodigy entering the Immortal Gate and had the Imperial Family’s forces covertly support them, they would have been eradicated long ago.
“Silence.”
The voice of Jiang Ziyan rang out, not loud, but clear and aloof, and it carried an unquestionable authority, exuding the nobility and deterrence of the royal princess.
The place quieted down immediately, the complexions of those who had inquired shifted, and they glanced at her, not daring to make another sound.
Although they were of extraordinary strength now, some already in the Dao Law Realm, during the century they spent in the Immortal Gate, they all knew that Jiang Ziyan, of royal origin, had the highest achievements, and most importantly, her sect was exceptional.
“The time here is ten times that of the Immortal Gate. I will give you five days to deal with your personal affairs. If you want to know something, go find out for yourself, and do not bother my father,”
Jiang Ziyan’s eyes remained calm as she continued, “Also, do not rely on your status and strength to wreak havoc in the Mortal World. You must still abide by the laws of our Dayu Divine Dynasty!”
Her words were light and unhurried, but everyone was genuinely sobered, realizing that with the royal princess here, they could not misbehave in Dayu.
“Yes.”
“Your Majesty, we take our leave.”
The crowd said their goodbyes to Emperor Yu in turn, and then they transformed into streams of light and disappeared.
Xia Yucheng also bid farewell to Emperor Yu, wishing to visit the Xia Family.
Soon, only five members of the Royal Family, including Jiang Ziyan, remained by Emperor Yu’s side.
“Big Brother Emperor, you sent an urgent message to me earlier; is everything all right?”
A young man hastily inquired.
Seeing him, nostalgia filled Emperor Yu’s eyes as he felt the Dao Law Realm aura emanating from him, and he couldn’t help but smile,
“There was an issue, but it has been resolved. You’ve all come back a bit late.”
“Upon receiving your message, I contacted Ziyan immediately and asked her to request her Master’s assistance. Although it took half a month, that was as fast as we could make it,” said the young man with a wry smile.
