Sword Emperor

After that, they saw a hint of anxiety on Empress Long Ji's pretty face. Then she spoke slowly with three parts expectation and three parts worry.    

"Fellow Daoist, may I ask if my father has been well recently?"    

After saying this, it was as if Empress Longji, who had already reached the level of the Master of the Eras, had lost all her strength, and could only force herself not to change.    

After all, she had left her hometown for too long. When she was taken away by the Penglai Island back then, she was just a teenager.    

But now, a long time has passed, so long that Empress Longji has already forgotten the Jade Emperor's appearance.    

Thus, when she said those words, her heart was filled with fear.    

Naturally, Sun Bing was sharp enough to sense Empress Long Ji's mood, and immediately comforted her in a soft voice,    

"Don't worry, the Jade Emperor can be considered as my senior. He's doing well now.    

As for the specific situation, it's hard to explain in a few words. He entrusted me to pass this Nine Dragon Warm Jade to you.    

There must be some information in it. You should know what happened to him after you refine it. "    

After saying that, Sun Bing handed the Nine Dragon Warm Jade to Empress Long Ji in a carefree manner.    

In fact, after seeing the Nine Dragon Warm Jade, Empress Long Ji had wanted to ask for it back, but considering that it would be inconvenient for her to ask for it, she could only suppress it in her heart.    

Now that she heard his words, her heart was filled with joy as she immediately bowed towards Sun Bing.    

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist."    

After saying that, she carefully received the Nine Dragons Warm Jade and immediately poured her spiritual strength into it.    

This treasure was hers to begin with, even though both of them had not come into contact with each other for a long time.    

Now that she had it, Empress Long Ji didn't need to refine it anymore. She could easily take it back.    

Then, a huge amount of information surged into her sea of consciousness. At the same time, the Jade Emperor's face appeared.    

As for Sun Bing, he could only see that after Empress Long Ji received the Nine Dragon Warm Jade, her gaze became lifeless and two streams of tears flowed out from the corner of her eyes.    

It was obvious that just as he had guessed, the Jade Emperor had left a lot of cards on the Nine Dragon Warm Jade.    

Shaking his head to clear away the unnecessary thoughts in his mind, Sun Bing waved his hand, and many rays of light flashed, forming an array that enveloped Empress Long Ji within.    

This array did not have many functions, yet it could form a small space of its own, blocking the vision of others and preventing them from affecting it.    

After all, Empress Longji was the ruler of an era, and this was the first time she had interacted with the Jade Emperor in countless years. It was hard for her to not lose control of her emotions.    

Under such circumstances, it was rather awkward for an outsider like Sun Bing to stand here.    

On the contrary, after placing Empress Long Ji into the array, the awkward atmosphere instantly dissipated by quite a bit.    

After a short moment, the array in the hall dissipated and Empress Long Ji's face appeared in Sun Bing's line of sight once again.    

The two lines of tears at the corner of her eyes had already been wiped away, and her face was now filled with a smile. Her entire aura seemed to have increased by quite a bit.    

Apparently, because the knot in her heart had been untied, Empress Long Ji's mindset had improved, and her cultivation had improved.    

Looking at Sun Bing, Empress Long Ji immediately bowed.    

"Greetings, Daoist brother. Father has already informed me of the current situation. If it wasn't for Daoist brother's help, he would be in a dangerous situation.    

I can't return the favor. Please accept my bow."    

Empress Longji was about to bow after saying this.    

Seeing this, Sun Bing's expression changed drastically.    

One must know that the other party's cultivation was at the level of the Master of the Era, almost standing at the top of the world. Just by cupping his hands and bowing, he was able to express the respect in his heart.    

If he bowed, he would be insulting himself.    

Therefore, Sun Bing's movements were rather fast. He immediately circulated the energy in his body and lifted Empress Long Ji up. At the same time, he kept speaking:    

"You're being too serious. Senior and I are just helping each other. There's no need to be so polite."    

Empress Long Ji could only give up on her actions after feeling the power that made her unable to move. However, the gratitude in her heart did not decrease in the slightest.    

"No matter what, Dao Brother, you have done me and Father a great favor. In the future, no matter what demolition you do, I will definitely follow at your beck and call."    

"Hahahaha, we are allies, Fellow Daoist, you don't have to do this."    

Towards this, Sun Bing shook his head in a carefree manner, at the same time, he looked at the figure in front of him with a puzzled expression:    

"Fellow Daoist, since you miss Senior Jade Emperor so much and have such cultivation and strength, why don't you leave Penglai Island and return to the Heavenly Court?"    

Hearing this, a hint of helplessness flashed across Empress Long Ji's face. After letting out a long sigh, she slowly explained:    

"Dao Brother, you might not know this, but even though my cultivation has already reached this level, I am helpless because I am unable to leave Penglai Island."    

"What? What is going on?"    

When he suddenly heard this news, Sun Bing's face was filled with astonishment:    

"Could it be that someone has imprisoned you? Is it that Dai Yun Sect? Don't worry, I will definitely help you."    

"I would like to thank you first, Dao Brother. Although I have a great enmity with that Dai Yun Sect, this has nothing to do with them."    

Hearing that, a flash of gratitude appeared on Empress Long Ji's face before she let out another long sigh.    

"It's not just me. They won't be able to leave Penglai Island either."    

At that moment, Sun Bing's face was filled with seriousness.    

From these words, he could tell that things were not as simple as he had imagined.    

Thus, after a moment of silence, he slowly opened his mouth and said:    

"Could this be because of Penglai?"    

"That's right."    

At this moment, Empress Longji did not hesitate at all as she nodded her head. Her face was filled with bitterness.    

"In the eyes of outsiders, this Penglai Island is a blessed land of the immortals. It is one of the two legendary islands of the Three Immortal Mountain.    

Independent of the world, it was erratic. Without the Great Destruction, it was a safe haven that countless cultivators had been searching for, wishing that they could go there.    

But who would know that in our eyes, this is not a safe haven, but a cage.    

No matter how hard we struggle, we can only live in Penglai Island and never leave. "
