Everything was within the plan.
Even though Tie San was furious, he was cautious. He directly informed his elder brother, Chang Feng Sword God, of everything that had happened.
After learning about it, Chang Feng Sword God pondered for a while and speculated that Wu Zuo intended to use Jian Wushuang to seek the position of the Palace Master.
He instructed Tie San to go find Wu Zuo and explain their intentions.
As long as they could suppress Jian Wushuang, they would fully support Wu Zuo to become the Palace Master.
Moreover, they would actively recruit Qingniu and, in one stroke, pull down Emperor Lu Hua.
This way, there would still be three Palace Masters, and the interests would remain unchanged.
The key was to thoroughly offend Jian Wushuang. They decided to take this extreme measure, pulling down Jian Wushuang along with Wu Zuo without hesitation.
However, they didnât know that by doing so, they fell right into the plans of Jian Wushuang and Wu Zuo.
Lu Hua hurriedly arrived at the scene.
Seeing Jian Wushuang imprisoned, he inwardly cursed Wu Zuo for being foolish.
Jian Wushuang was now a distinguished figure in the Elder Palace, and Zhen Ling would undoubtedly be aware of it.
Once the Dao Merge succeeded, Jian Wushuang might become the successor of the Qishen Temple.
Offending such a figure for the sake of a Palace Master position seemed irrational.
One could only say that Wu Zuoâs vision was becoming increasingly narrow.
Upon Lu Huaâs arrival, Wu Zuo followed suit.
âRelease him first; Iâll vouch for him!â Emperor Lu Hua spoke up.
Wu Zuo hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, âThe soonest will be at least 10,000 years later. After Tie Sanâs wedding, Iâll release Jian Wushuang!â
âYou!â Emperor Lu Huaâs expression darkened, pointing at Wu Zuo. âHow can I describe you? Jian Wushuang is an Inheritor, an Inheritor of the Ultimate Dao. Now that heâs almost at the completion stage of his Ultimate Dao, arenât you afraid heâll come after you once he achieves it?â
Wu Zuo coldly snorted, glaring at Emperor Lu Hua, and angrily said, âHesitation and indecision! The last time I chose the Palace Master, you said the same thing. You really disappoint me!â
Whether this statement was part of the act or an inadvertent revelation remained unclear.
The last time Lu Hua served as the Palace Master, he behaved improperly, and Wu Zuo still harbored some resentment.
âFine, since thatâs the case, go ahead and walk your solitary path!â Emperor Lu Hua didnât want to bring up the events of the last time because it was indeed his fault.
If he had been more firm, Wu Zuo might have actually become the Palace Master.
Unfortunately!
Chang Fengâs strength was too weak, and once Wu Zuo took over, the alliance between the two had already disrupted the balance in the current Elder Palace.
Lu Hua was aware of this and chose not to insist any further.
Now, with the two of them joining forces, they had reached a delicate balance with Qingniu and Chang Feng.
However, this delicate balance was about to be disrupted soon, and this time, Wu Zuo wouldnât be standing by his side.
Instead, he would find himself in a disadvantaged position, and due to the matter of the Origin Source of All Things, he might even end up isolated.
By then, the position of the Palace Master might be at risk.
There was no time to turn back now; he could only bet everything on Jian Wushuang and see it through.
The more it came to this, the more he needed to quickly bring Jian Wushuang out.
A timely help is better than an embellishment when itâs already perfect.
âHall Master Wu Zuo, itâs fine if you want to keep him in captivity, but I need to interrogate him. Let me in to see Jian Wushuang. This shouldnât violate any rules, right?â Emperor Lu Hua regained his indifferent expression.
This time, Wu Zuo did not refute. He took out a token and opened the prison, allowing Emperor Lu Hua to enter.
Once inside the prison, Palace Master Lu Hua immediately set up a barrier to prevent Wu Zuo from eavesdropping outside.
Later, he took steps towards Jian Wushuang.
âPalace Lord!â Jian Wushuang struggled to rise, his breath extremely weak.
He wasnât concealing his aura; instead, he intentionally let Wu Zuo inflict serious injuries on him, suppressing without recovery.
If needed, he could restore himself to the peak at any moment, such was the terror of the power of Life.
Emperor Lu Hua keenly felt this and quickly approached, supporting Jian Wushuang and infusing his own power to help him regain some strength.
âThere are some things you should come to me for. Wu Zu has always been unreliable. I forgot to remind you!â Emperor Lu Huaâs expression was regretful.
Jian Wushuang was stunned for a moment, then showed anger. Through gritted teeth, he said, âI was careless this time. I didnât expect Wu Zu to play me!â
âDonât worry, he canât harm you. I will find a way to get you out as soon as possible, within 10,000 years!â Emperor Lu Hua reassured.
â10,000 years!â Jian Wushuangâs eyes showed a hint of anxiety. He spoke, âPalace Master, can you get me out before the grand wedding of Tie San?â
His expression changed, determination in his eyes. He even bowed directly, requesting, âPalace Master Lu Hua, Iâm begging you. As long as you let me out, I will be eternally grateful for this great kindness!â
âJian Wushuang, what are you doing?â Emperor Lu Hua reached out to help Jian Wushuang up, saying hurriedly, âDonât worry, even if I donât hold the position of Palace Master, Iâll still get you out!â
After all, he wouldnât hold the position for much longer, and he wasnât afraid of being caught by Chang Feng and Qingniu for his previous actions. He might as well cause a disturbance in the Law Enforcement Hallâs prison at that time.
Upon hearing the assurance, Jian Wushuang finally stood up, joy evident in his eyes.
After leaving behind some treasures to restore the Origin Source, Emperor Lu Hua departed.
Jian Wushuang watched his departing figure, feeling a stirring in his heart. Despite knowing that the other had clear objectives, the willingness to abandon everything to help him earned genuine gratitude from Jian Wushuang.
He vowed that when he ascended to the throne, he would not mistreat Lu Hua.
Emperor Lu Hua, upon leaving the prison, didnât spare a glance at Wu Zuo. With a cold snort, he waved his sleeve and departed.
He was disappointed in Wu Zuo.
The two had been good friends for many years, and now their relationship seemed to have crumbled.
In the ancient era, although Emperor Lu Hua was not the direct heir of Qishen Temple, he came from a prestigious family, a legitimate descendant of a Universe Master.
Venturing through the river of time, he met Wu Zuo, and the two had experienced numerous trials together.
It was a friendship that transcended life and death.
âHmph, this time Iâm one step ahead of you!â Wu Zuo muttered to himself. After glancing at Jian Wushuang in the prison, he turned and left.
News of his suppression quickly spread.
Even the Inheritors on the Grave God Mountain learned a fair amount.
In the Earthly Realmâs secret realm, Hu Qing also received the news promptly.
âBrother Wushuang, this time I canât help you!â Hu Qing slightly closed his eyes, situated in an extremely malevolent pool.
Meanwhile, in the shadows, Long Yi marveled at everything and reported the situation to Zhen Ling.
Inside the prison.
Jian Wushuang sat cross-legged in the corner, and there was no change in his aura.
However, in the Sea of Origin Source within him, his Origin Source clone was practicing the pinnacle supreme technique he created.
As a Dao Lord, he could create a pinnacle supreme technique, making him one of a kind.
Eternal Calamity!
The first sword move was still a bit rough!
âSwords may be lifeless, but strength is alive!â Jian Wushuang shook his head.
Chapter 5523: Kneel Down

The aura on his body undiminished, he descended directly into the courtyard.
Tian Cang, indistinguishable from a dead dog in his hand, was casually thrown aside.
Seeing Vice Hall Master Zhong without any surprise, everything unfolded as planned.
âWhereâs Gong Miaoyi?â Jian Wushuang showed no courtesy. He sat down bluntly where Gong Miaoyi had been sitting, cutting straight to the point.
Vice Hall Master Tie San remained unchanged in expression. Personally pouring a cup of tea for Jian Wushuang, he said calmly, âJian Wushuang, just a maidservant, is it necessary to make such a fuss?â
âHaha!â Jian Wushuang laughed in anger, rubbing the armrest of the chair. Then, with a sudden force, he directly shattered the armrest, with wood chips flying out. Tie San easily defused the situation.
Defusing this was easy, but in front of so many people, how could Jian Wushuang be so disrespectful? If he endured, how would his subordinates view him?
In the Fengteng Courtyard, many people were present.
Originally intended to intimidate Jian Wushuang, it now backfired.
The other Vice Hall Master of Longevity Hall stepped forward, angrily shouting, âJian Wushuang, youâve gone too far!â
âHmph!â Jian Wushuang snorted disdainfully, saying, âWho are you? Do you have the right to speak here?â
âYou!â The Vice Hall Master, unaccustomed to such treatment, was about to rush forward but was held back by Tie San.
Tie San took a deep breath, suppressing his anger. Holding the tea-infusing frame in his hand, he calmly said, âRegarding Gong Miaoyiâs matter, I did overlook it. Even if you didnât come, I would personally visit with a generous gift. I didnât expect it to escalate to this point!â
He continued, âSpeak of your demands. If thereâs anything lacking or any requests, I, Tie San, will definitely fulfill them!â
Jian Wushuang lifted the teacup, gave it a shake, and then, with intense anger in his eyes, directly splashed the tea towards Tie San, angrily shouting.
âYouâve grown muddled in your old age, asking me to make demands?!â He chuckled with exasperation. âI want the Origin Source of All Things in the Beiwang Tower. Can you afford that? Donât think just because youâre a Hall Master, you can spout nonsense freely. Otherwise, Iâll wipe the floor with you in one go!â
A violent aura emanated from Tie San, evaporating the tea on his face. He was about to erupt, but upon hearing about the Origin Source of All Things, he had to forcefully suppress the anger in his heart.
He had already informed his elder brother, Chang Feng Sword God, about the situation here. Even his elder brother advised against provoking Jian Wushuang, stating that the latter just wanted to extort some treasuresâpay him off, and that would be the end of it.
But now, Jian Wushuang was not giving any face. It wasnât about money; it was about humiliating him!
Vice Hall Master Zhong stared blankly, having shifted his position to the back.
If it were him, he would probably have taken action long ago. He admired Tie Sanâs patience; he could endure such provocations.
Wasnât Tie San quite domineering before?
Why did he seem so restrained now?
âJian Wushuang!â Tie Sanâs expression finally darkened. He glared at Jian Wushuang as if wanting to eat him, gritting his teeth and saying, âIf it werenât for my big brotherâs instructions, you would have died a hundred times already!â
The last sentence was just a threat.
In the Elder Palace, who would dare to kill Jian Wushuang?
If someone dared to kill him, forget Zhen Ling, they would have to fight for their lives against the consequences.
âLet me also tell you this, if I havenât achieved Dao Merge yet, you wouldnât even have the privilege of sitting down and talking to me. Without your big brother, you wouldnât even be able to secure your position as a Hall Master!â
Both of them stood up simultaneously, their bodies close, faces almost touching.
Staring into each otherâs eyes.
âToday, let Gong Miaoyi leave with me. Either you kneel down and kowtow to me three times, or Iâll consider this marriage settled!â
Jian Wushuang stood up straight, rubbed his forehead, and then said, âAlternatively, you can give me the Origin Source of All Things. Donât say I didnât give you face. After I finish my demands, you figure out how to handle it!â
These three demands were enough to ruin the reputation of the other party.
Letting Gong Miaoyi go with him was absolutely impossible.
He had already sent out the invitations, and having a Dao Companion run away with someone else meant losing face completely.
As for the Origin Source of All Things, even with ten lives, he wouldnât dare to decide.
In the end, the only option left was to kowtow!
But that was no better than just killing him directly.
Vice Hall Master Zhong on the side couldnât bear to watch any longer. This was such a great humiliation.
For the sake of a woman, it wasnât worth it!
âAll of you, step back!â Tie Sanâs face was trembling, waving his hand to signal those people to disperse.
The Vice Hall Master of Longevity Hall showed some emotion.
Letting them leave, was he really ready to compromise?
If that was the case, then the Longevity Hall would be disgraced for a lifetime.
Being stepped on the face by a Dao Lord.
âHall Master, weâŠâ
But before they could finish speaking, Tie Sanâs face turned as pale as wax. He raised his head, glanced at the crowd, and roared, âGet lost!â
Swish!
People didnât dare to linger any longer, and their hearts turned cold.
The usually imposing Hall Master of Longevity Hall had now fallen to such a state, about to kneel to a Dao Lord.
After everyone left, only Tie San, Jian Wushuang, and Vice Hall Master Zhong remained.
âEarlier, there were many people around, but now there is no one else. I, Tie San, personally offer you a gift. The treasure within this mustard seed is worth 30,000 cubic universe crystals, my lifelong accumulation. Please accept it!â Tie San presented a mustard seed with both hands in front of Jian Wushuang.
Jian Wushuangâs gaze flickered; 30,000 cubic universe crystals were not particularly attractive to him at the moment.
With his own possession of several hundred thousand cubic universe crystals, he didnât lack these 30,000.
On the contrary, the other party having 30,000 cubic universe crystals probably gained some benefits privately, accumulating over millions of years.
There would be more in the future.
30,000 cubic universe crystals werenât a significant loss; he could obtain more in the future. However, Gong Miaoyi could not be returned to Jian Wushuang.
Others might not know, but Tie San was clear in his heart that Gong Miaoyiâs constitution was very special and particularly suitable for dual cultivation.
As long as he found Gong Miaoyiâs father, Gong Miaoyi promised him dual cultivation.
Now that he had obtained information about Gong Miaoyiâs father, after the grand wedding, he would surely bring Gong Miaoyi to find her father.
Once they started dual cultivation, his strength could be further enhanced.
There was hope for the supreme-peak, and the hope was significant.
By then, the two brothers would both be supreme-peak experts, and within the Elder Palace, they would not fear anyone.
So, Gong Miaoyi would never be let go.
The reason he could endure was precisely this.
In case Jian Wushuang insisted on taking Gong Miaoyi away, when he brought this matter to Palace Master Lu Hua, the other party wouldnât help him. Moreover, he didnât stand on the right side!
If it werenât for his older brotherâs advice, he would have almost lost his temper.
Enduring for a while was fine. After he stepped into the supreme-peak, there would be no need to fear Jian Wushuang.
Even if Jian Wushuang succeeded in merging Dao in the future, he would also be a supreme-peak expert, and there would be no need to consider Jian Wushuangâs opinions.
After all, the Elder Palace was the private force of Zhen Ling.
Itâs not that there werenât other Ultimate Emperors, but those Ultimate Emperors were not related to them, at most giving some face.
No matter how grandly they spoke, it was just potential.
Ultimate Emperors didnât have much power; they were busy cultivating, with no time to bother about such matters.
