Li Xiao was speechless for a moment. Of course he was afraid. He was afraid that Emperor Jiuyan couldn't handle it!
"Well, have you ever considered that if the two of us went out alone, we'd probably be killed by Duanmu Rui as soon as we left the Imperial City?"
Li Xiao looked at him helplessly. Is this guy not smart enough?
Yes, he was so miserable at the beginning, and he secluded himself for twenty years, so it was only natural that his brain would be in trouble!
Emperor Jiuyan was speechless after hearing what he said. Did he really think he was a fool?
Poor him, the great Emperor Jiuyan, was planning to go out to collect debts, but as soon as he left the house, he was killed by his own people, right?
"Duanmu Rui does owe Li Sheng a favor, but I showed him the royal family's background, so he shouldn't be so confused."
Emperor Jiuyan gave a weak explanation, but Li Xiao couldn't believe it.
"What is the royal family's heritage? Are there many ancestors who suppress the Nine Flames Divine Fire's true form underground? If the royal family truly has a heritage, how could the dynasty decline?"
Li Xiao expressed that he couldn't understand it. Not to mention the Jiuyou Holy Land, just Duanmu Rui was a threshold that they, father and son, could not cross!
Emperor Jiuyan stared at Li Xiao with a strange expression for a long time, then he shook his head helplessly.
It seems that he is a complete failure as a father.
He was the great emperor of the dynasty, but in the eyes of his own son, he was nothing.
"The greatest asset of the dynasty today is me!"
Emperor Jiuyan snorted speechlessly, then he slowly took a step forward!
"Um?"
Li Xiao immediately realized that something was wrong. At this moment, the laws of space were madly compressed, and an incredible and strange situation occurred.
Emperor Jiuyan was only one step away from Li Xiao, but the space between him and the surrounding area was at least 10,000 to 20,000 miles away!
"This is a space-related secret technique called Wanli Xianting! You just need to follow me, and you will naturally be able to control the laws of space."
Emperor Jiuyan called out, and Li Xiao tried to take a light step along the direction where Emperor Jiuyan had just stepped.
A strange feeling suddenly came over him, and he felt that his body was divided by space.
One of his legs had already appeared thousands of miles away, but most of his body was still in the same place.
“How amazing!”
Li Xiao took this step step by step. He was suddenly shocked to find that he had crossed thousands of miles of space in one step!
"You think it's magical only because you don't understand the laws of space! Once you understand, it's just a matter of simple application."
"Don't worry, with Duanmu Rui's skills, he can't catch up with us!"
Emperor Jiuyan gave instructions, then he took a leisurely step forward and appeared a million miles away in the blink of an eye!
Li Xiao collected his thoughts and hurriedly imitated his movements, following him step by step.
It seems that he is just learning to walk by imitating others, but if he takes a wrong step, he will probably be completely lost.
"Nine Nether Holy Land, who is in charge now?"
The two men walked one after the other, and it was unknown how many steps they had taken when Emperor Jiuyan suddenly spoke in a low voice.
Li Xiao was filled with shock. He couldn't even imagine how big the Tianyuan Continent was.
When I looked up again, I saw a huge and prosperous city in front of me.
What is even more strange is that there is not a single monk in such a huge city. This is actually a huge city inhabited entirely by ordinary people.
Such places are extremely rare in the entire Tianyuan Continent.
On the surface, this represents the sanctity and justice of the Jiuyou Holy Land. Under their protection, ordinary people can also live a stable and prosperous life.
But in fact, the ordinary people here are nothing more than slaves kept by them.
It’s like when you go to a house to look for someone, the first thing you see is the pigpen and chicken coop built outside!
In peacetime, these mortals can live a better life. They only need to provide various supplies to the Jiuyou Holy Land for free and let the people from the Jiuyou Holy Land come to select boys and girls, handsome men and beautiful women.
But once a major war breaks out between monks, these people will not even be considered cannon fodder, but will be inevitable casualties.
If other cultivators had come to seek revenge, they would have destroyed this huge city and given a warning to the Jiuyou Holy Land.
The Jiuyou Holy Land would not really care about it. After all, mortals and cultivators are no longer the same species.
But Emperor Jiuyan was still quite prudent and he had no intention of taking action against these ordinary people.
However, this also shows from the opposite side that he came here this time not to be satisfied with just slaughtering some mortals.
If you think about it more deeply, could it be that the Jiuyou Holy Land built a huge mortal city here just to provide a place for people to kill, so as to ease the other party's anger and allow itself to occupy the moral high ground?
Thinking of this, Li Xiao shuddered and didn't dare to think about it any further.
"Li Changsheng! What are you going to do?"
The voice of Emperor Jiuyan seemed ordinary, but it had already been transmitted directly to the lair of the Jiuyou Holy Land. A voice of surprise and anger quickly spread from a distance.
Not only that, a large white cloud floated over quickly, carrying more than a hundred people dressed in white and holding flying swords.
The three old men in the lead had solemn expressions as if they were facing a formidable enemy, while the rest were all handsome men and beautiful women, each with an extraordinary temperament, which was simply pleasing to the eye.
"Greetings, Immortal!"
At the same time, there was an uproar in the huge city ahead, and countless people knelt down on the spot, paying homage to these high-ranking monks.
Looking at how excited some of them were, it seemed like they were seeing the legendary cultivator for the first time in their lives.
"Look at how pious these people are. They really deserve to be treated like pigs and dogs by the monks and kept in captivity!"
Li Xiao sighed. He didn't expect that Emperor Jiuyan would actually speak up.
"That's why I've always been against isolating cultivators from ordinary people. However, some dynasties, bewitched by the Nine Nether Holy Land, seem to have begun to drive out ordinary people and force them to live in areas isolated from the cultivators."
These two people were communicating here unscrupulously, and the faces of those people from the Jiuyou Holy Land suddenly changed.
"Li Changsheng! I know what you are here for!"
"Just listen to me!"
The leader was an old woman, with white hair and a kind expression, but her skin was delicate and smooth all over, and her facial features were picturesque, giving people a feeling that she still had some charm.
She frowned and looked at Emperor Jiuyan, who seemed to be an old acquaintance.
"You talk, I listen!"
Emperor Jiuyan smiled. He was not in a hurry. Those who were anxious might be worried that their will was not firm enough, and once they were no longer in a hurry, they would not insist on doing it.
