Chapter 626: Purple Bamboo Court
If this were a couple of months ago, the people in the palace would be ultimate masters to Long Chen. Now, however, they were mere ants to him. The once mysterious and powerful palace was now unimpressive to Long Chen.
One hundred and eight guards in black armor stood in front of the grand entrance. They were all at least at the Eighth Passage Stage, and they had spent their whole lives in the sixth layer. They only had two ways to get out—either they grew too old and were killed, or they broke through to the Ninth Passage Stage and became Grand Elders.
The guards were standing solemnly around a man, their young master, Jiang Wushang. Jiang Wushang stood with a dark expression and his hands behind his back as he stared at a woman with reddened eyes.
She was the Clear Shallows King.
“Prince Wushang, let me in! I want to see my daughter!” Her eyes were covered with blood vessels, and she was clearly upset. She gazed into his eyes, slowly losing patience.
Jiang Wushang smirked and said, “I’ll tell you one more time! My father has forbidden anyone from meeting Liu Yiyi! It doesn’t matter if it’s Jiang Wuya or you!”
The Clear Shallows King’s voice turned cold as she stepped forward. “Why can’t I see my own daughter? Jiang Wushang, don’t twist my arm! You may be marrying her off to Martial Emperor Zhao Danchen, but you cannot take away my right to see her!”
“Twist your arm? Clear Shallows King, as one of the seven Demon Kings, how dare you disobey the Demon Emperor’s command? Do you intend to commit treason?” Jiang Wushang wrung his hands nonchalantly.
“You!” The Clear Shallows King raged. She took a deep breath, steeled herself, and said, “I must see Yiyi today. If anyone dares to stop me, don’t blame me for hurting you!”
