Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 509: Flying Swallow City

As the Great Yan Imperial Family released this news, it immediately caused a huge stir across the continent.

The Emperor of the Taiyuan Ancient Country, Fu Yuan, was a cultivation genius. With just over ten thousand years of cultivation, he had already stepped into the Great Emperor Realm.

He was one of the two emperors of the Taiyuan Ancient Country and, at the same time, the youngest Great Emperor in the eastern Dongju Continent.

Because of Fu Yuan's meteoric rise, he disrupted the long-standing balance of one emperor per great country established by the four ancient countries.

Therefore, in recent years, the Taiyuan Ancient Country's power had continuously expanded, annexing territories of the Tianyuan Nation and Jiuxiang Ancient Country that bordered it.

Yet, such a dazzling, invincible presence of the present day, a Great Emperor, was now serving respectfully at the side of a withered old man who appeared to be at the level of the Supreme Saint.

"Predecessor, are you saying that the Bronze Stone Coffin is out of the ordinary?"

The news of the Bronze Stone Coffin had already spread from the Great Yan Ancient Country to Taiyuan Ancient Country.

"Correct!" The emaciated old man, who looked as withered as his physique, nodded, "The Dao Palace Secret Realm is quite a distance from here, and I didn't notice it when the coffin appeared initially.

But the huge reward offered by the Great Yan Ancient Country is rather strange."

Fu Yuan immediately understood and nodded in agreement, "Yes, when the anomaly occurred in the Dao Palace Secret Realm, I, being far away in Taiyuan, perceived something. Alas, the distance was truly vast, and I could not investigate immediately.

However, Flying Swallow City of the Great Yan Ancient Country is only ten thousand miles away from the Dao Palace Secret Realm, and they must have detected and followed the Bronze Stone Coffin right away.

The fact that the Great Yan Ancient Country is now publicly offering a huge reward suggests that those beings from the Great Yan have not tracked down where the Bronze Stone Coffin escaped to. It's obviously not normal for the coffin to have slipped away from right under a Great Emperor's nose."

In just a moment, Fu Yuan had reasoned out most of the situation.

The old man nodded his head and solemnly instructed Fu Yuan, "You go to the Great Yan Ancient Country yourself and uncover the secrets of that coffin."

As he spoke, he bestowed upon him a Blood Moon Roulette, "Take this treasure with you, you may use it to intervene and fight for the treasures within the coffin if necessary."

"Yes, Predecessor!" Fu Yuan accepted the command.

After Fu Yuan left, another young man at the level of the Holy Realm emerged beside the old man.

"Ling'er, you go to the Saint's Tomb yourself. I have a premonition that these nine secret realms on the Divine Wilderness Continent are not as simple as we imagined," the withered old man ordered.

"Yes! Teacher," the young man known as Ling'er respectfully answered, his form gradually fading until he completely disappeared.

At the same time, similar scenarios were taking place in the Jiuxiang Ancient Country and other super sects across the Dongju Continent.

...

After the Bronze Stone Coffin flew out of the Dao Palace Secret Realm, it directly ripped through the void, and even Qinchuan lost track of it.

Qinchuan wasn't too surprised, though.

The Bronze Stone Coffin and the Bronze Gate were quite similar, probably products of the same era.

After Qinchuan emerged from the Dao Palace Secret Realm, he visibly saw the periphery of the secret realm, with the divine mountain and the boundless Poison Marsh withering away.

He realized that the vitality overflowing from the Dao Palace Secret Realm nourished this world, and now that the anomaly had occurred in the secret realm, although it hadn't exploded, the realm's internal world had completely collapsed, no different from the implosion of the Spirit Martial Secret Realm.

The surrounding world was even more like having its foundation pulled out from under it, with spirit trees within thousands of miles directly withering away.

After losing sight of the Bronze Stone Coffin, Qinchuan and others searched within the original Poison Marsh for half a month.

Not only along the borders of the Great Yan and Jiuxiang nations, Qinchuan also communicated via spiritual butterflies back to Tianqing City to see if the Bronze Stone Coffin had reached the Tianyuan territory, but the news he received was that there were no abnormalities within Tianyuan.

However, Li Zhi had also issued the same substantial secret reward as the Great Yan Imperial Family, offering the same conditions for information on the whereabouts of the Bronze Stone Coffin.

One month later, Qinchuan gave up the aimless search and decided to head to Flying Swallow City.

Qinchuan and his companions made their way to Flying Swallow City.

Yin Yuexuan, on the other hand, joined forces with Wei An and turned back to the Jiuxiang Ancient Country.

He had to report back about the Bronze Stone Coffin and the variable presence of Qinchuan, which might greatly affect the balance of power struggles among the Great Yan, Jiuxiang, and Taiyuan factions.

...

Flying Swallow City of the Great Yan Ancient Country got its name because it was established under a mountain resembling a divine swallow spreading its wings to fly.

The city, leaning against the mountain and bordering the water, is a natural barrier.

"Young Master Qin, our young master is currently staying in Gongsun's Imperial Palace. If Young Master Qin doesn't mind, you may join Jin Ling and stay at the palace for a few days. If the young master learns of the Ancestral Master joining, he will definitely receive you with honesty and openness," said the Jin Ling Saintess, who originally addressed Qinchuan as Ancestral Master, but switched to Young Master Qin at his insistence.

"There's no need, I've come to Flying Swallow City to inquire about the whereabouts of the Bronze Stone Coffin, and I'm not interested in your struggles," Qinchuan said indifferently, his current strategy being to respond to the many Divine Realm forces meddling in the Lower Realm with inaction.

If he wasn't absolutely sure he could capture all these individuals at once, he wasn't ready to intervene, nor was he ready to confront them directly, to avoid alarming certain old monsters in the Upper Realm prematurely.

After parting with the Jin Ling Saintess, Qinchuan extended a wisp of his soul to spy around to see if there were any spies, although he believed the Jin Ling Saintess wouldn't dare offend him. But now that he had delved deep into Flying Swallow City, he didn't know how many Divine Realm creatures were lurking within.

After ensuring there was nothing unusual around, he then led Ji Huo'er and the others into the streets.

After navigating many streets and alleyways, the trio finally arrived at a bustling pavilion.

Above the pavilion hung a huge sign written in swirling dragon and phoenix script, which read Exquisite Pavilion.

This pavilion was indeed the Exquisite Pavilion, which in the Dongju Continent is known as the finest in the lands, naturally with a branch in Flying Swallow City as well.

"Sirs, please come to the third floor!" A page, seeing the extraordinary composure of Qinchuan and his two companions, immediately identified them as cultivators of the Dao Palace Realm and greeted them with a smile.

There had been too many big events in the past few months.

First, there was the war initiated by the three ancient countries, where their armies are still at a stand-off on the border, ready to clash at any moment. Then came the Heavenly Dao Thunder Tribulation and the appearance of Spiritual Treasures from the eight great secrets.

Also recently, a pair of Bronze Stone Coffins suddenly flew out of the Dao Palace Secret Realm.

Each event was hot gossip in the taverns and pavilions.

Undoubtedly, these pavilions were the places where news spread the fastest, which is why, even in the morning hours, the third floor of the Exquisite Pavilion had already gathered quite a few cultivators.

"Hey, fellow Daoists, what news have you gathered today?" asked a horse-faced middle-aged man, apparently drunk, who raised his voice to inquire with a few cultivators at the same table.

"Brother Tang, have you drunk too much? Who has found the whereabouts of that bronze coffin? It's worth a million Mysterious Crystals and a Half-Step Supreme Dao Artifact. If anyone knew, they would have reported it to claim their reward by now, wouldn't they? Why would they still be here drinking?" said a long-haired middle-aged man sitting at the same table, laughing.

"Brother Ming Ren is absolutely right, if I knew the whereabouts of that Bronze Stone Coffin, I'd be the first one to claim the reward! Hahaha!" another cultivator chimed in, immediately provoking laughter from the other cultivators around.

"Exactly, it's not only the Great Yan Imperial Family that's looking for it, the Jiuxiang, Taiyuan, and Tianyuan royal families have also put out messages, offering the same deal for the location of the Bronze Stone Coffin.

Looking at this, the value of that Bronze Stone Coffin isn't just a million Mysterious Crystals and a Half-Step Supreme Dao Artifact. We are talking about four million Mysterious Crystals and four Half-Step Supreme Dao Artifacts," said the last cultivator at the table in a lowered voice.

What the people failed to notice, however, was that among the lively conversation, a bushy-browed, small-eyed, long-faced cultivator with prominent cheekbones had an unusual glint flickering in his eyes.
