Keyboard Immortal

nly did this Zu An not fear them, it was they who were afraid that he might pull some trick.

Zu An shook his head.
“Don’t worry, I won’t run this time.
I’ll go along with you guys to see the emperor.”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Huang Huihong’s face darkened.
“What game are you playing?”

He might have believed him if he were someone else, but this kid didn’t seem like the sort of person who would do this!

Zu An smiled.
“What’s wrong? I’m standing right here.
Could it be that the glorious Embroidered Envoy doesn’t even dare to capture me?”

Chu Zhongtian and Qin Wanru both sent him urgent ki transmissions.
“Ah Zu, what are you doing? Use this chance to get away! We’ll help you distract them!”

But Zu An shook his head.
“There’s no need.
I don’t want to trouble you all.
Besides, I have my own plans.
You two don’t need to worry about me.”

Jiang Luofu also sent him a ki transmission.
“You damned brat, I have no idea what the heck you’re planning, but there is absolutely no escape if you are brought back to the capital! The emperor will not tolerate another man achieving eternal life!”

Zu An replied with a smile, “Thank you gorgeous principal for worrying about me.
But take a good look at me! Do I look like an idiot who is about to throw my life away?”

Jiang Luofu snorted.
“I’ll admit that you’re not dumb, but that doesn’t mean they are.
I don’t know what kind of plan you’ve cooked up, but even the best plans are meaningless in the face of absolute strength.
All schemes are futile before the emperor’s cultivation.”

“That might not be the case.” Zu An thought about his plan, and a strange expression spread across his face. How the heck am I gonna get the emperor to wear this green hat, though?

Jiang Luofu was stunned by his confident demeanor.
She had met her share of confident men in her life, but their confidence was built on their cultivation and backgrounds, which hardly made it praiseworthy.
An absolute weakling like Zu An remaining so calm and confident in such a situation was definitely far more rare.

The Embroidered Envoy surrounded him and cast their Soul-reaping Chains around Zu An.
They showed visible relief when he did not resist.

Even if he wanted to resist, it was too late now.
Those who were bound by the Soul-reaping Chains would find all of their ki restrained.
No matter how powerful one’s cultivation was, they would be rendered no different from ordinary people.

Zu An frowned.
He too could sense that his ki flow had been instantly cut.
When he lowered his head, he noticed that the surfaces of the chains were covered in runes.
These runes were exquisite, and faint blue light flowed across them from time to time.
They formed a sealing formation that restricted all of the ki within his body.

Fortunately, he could still use Grandgale, Blue Mallard, and Hunderdwarble.
That immediately gave him a little more confidence.

Xie Yi walked over at this time.
“My lords, since you have already completed your mission, why not stay in Brightmoon City for a few more days? This humble official wishes to share more of our city’s hospitality.”

King Liang said immediately, “Thank you City Lord Xie for your good intentions, but we still have official business to take care of that cannot be delayed.
We need to set out immediately.”

What kind of joke was this? Zu An just exposed to the world that he carried the Phoenix Nirvana Sutra with him! Who knew how many sharks would be drawn to him after smelling blood.
How could they afford to waste any time at all?

Moreover, this Xie Yi was part of King Qi’s faction as well.
What he was planning was beyond obvious.
There was no way King Liang would let him have his way.

He issued an order immediately, without waiting for a response.
“Bring the Sang clan with us.
We are returning to the capital immediately!”

The prison carriages of the father and son duo of the Sang clan, as well as Zheng Dan’s, were brought up.
Zheng Dan was still dressed in her wedding clothes, still as stunning as before, although a listless, sorrowful expression covered her face.
To her, the future was grim and bleak.

Zu An, bound entirely in chains, wandered across her vision, and she was so shocked that she sat up at once.
She wrapped her fingers around the bars of the prison carriage.
Her eyes seemed full of questions, almost as though they were asking why he was here.

Zu An gave her a smile.
Unfortunately, his ki was sealed up, so the two of them couldn’t send each other voice transmissions.

King Liang gave another order.
“Find another prison carriage! I want a special one, one that the criminal absolutely cannot escape from.”

His subordinates were rather troubled.
“There’s no time.
We are trying to leave as soon as possible.
Brightmoon City’s prison carriages aren’t sturdy enough, and we don’t have time to make new ones.”

King Liang was furious.
“You all couldn’t even take care of something that simple? What do I keep you fools around for?”

Those individuals clearly felt the sting of injustice. You aren’t even giving us enough time to prepare! Do you expect us to summon one out of thin air for you?

Zu An laughed and said, “There’s really no need for all the trouble.
This prison carriage seems pretty spacious.
I’ll just ride with her.”

He pointed at Zheng Dan.
