Although it was early in the morning, Wu Du had already become lively in the morning light. From the distance, one could see smoke rising from within the tall, thick, and ancient city walls.

If one looked further inside, they would be able to see the vague outline of a golden city through the clouds and the faint glow of morning light. This was the Imperial Palace of the East Wu, the forbidden area for commoners, the place where Wu Yu had grown up.

"Wu Du..."

Wu Yu, wearing a 'monkey mask' and carrying a heavy Demon Subduing Rod on his back, appeared in the forest outside of Wu City. He stood on the branch of a huge tree, gazing at Wu Du in the morning light.

"It seems like a bustling city has no idea that demons are wreaking havoc in a dark corner."

Wu Yu could clearly remember how he had been sent out of the Wu Capital after taking the Soul Splitting Powder, and how he had been followed by the Snake Demon.

"Sister Wu You."

There was a reason why he didn't control the Sky Cloud Peng and fly straight into the Wu Capital. He had to sneak into Wu City and see Wu You before the war started.

"Supreme Celestial Haotian should have been at the Qi Condensation stage for quite some time, so he definitely won't be as easy to deal with as Situ Qing. I have to first approach him as a supervisor of an immortal country before knowing his abilities. Only then will I be able to make a move."

"Let's go."

He placed Tian Yunpeng here and sped up. In the eyes of mortals, he was a flash of golden light. Without anyone noticing, he had already entered Wu City and was walking on the busy streets.

"Whiz!"

Wu Du was huge, but to the current Wu Yu, it was very small.

"The Worryfree Palace."

Raising his head, he saw that the most conspicuous palace to the east of the Imperial Palace was the Worryfree Palace, the palace that the late emperor had specially bestowed upon Princess Wuyou. After arriving here, Wu Yu was a little nervous. He knew that with Wu You's personality, it would be difficult for Xi Fei to tolerate him. Who knew that after leaving for such a long time, what would happen?

"Sis, you must be safe …" Wu Yu acknowledged himself as a seven-foot-tall man, and even now, he was not afraid of the heavens or the earth, nor even death. However, his heart was still trembling as he arrived at the Worryfree Palace.

He quietly snuck into the Worryfree Palace. The internal guards of the Palace were still normal, but the maids and maids were in an orderly fashion. This made Wu Yu feel slightly more relaxed. He walked past Princess Wuyou's sleeping quarters, but he did not see her.

"It should be over there."

Wu You's only hobby was studying. He had been like this since he was young. Although he wasn't very old, he was definitely one of the most learned people in the Eastern Yue Wu Country. Wu Yu had always loved martial arts since he was young, and he didn't even want to read a single one of the books or poems that he had learned.

In the study.

Wu Yu stood at the back of the yard outside the window. Through the window, he could see the silhouette of a woman beside the desk. She was wearing the uniform of the palace and was writing with a brush in her jade hands. Wu Yu's gaze passed through the paper window and clearly saw her appearance. She was Princess Wuyou.

A gentle and moving woman.

She focused on the white paper on the table. Her long hair slid down from her ears. There were traces of tears in her pretty eyes, and her expression was haggard.

A maid stood beside him, grinding ink while wiping away her tears.

This scene, quiet and a little desolate ….

In any case, she was still alive and unharmed. For Wu Yu, this was the best news. His taut heartstrings had finally relaxed at this moment.

When he saw her again, this sister who had accompanied him and taken care of him since he was young, he had narrowly escaped death, and his eyes were slightly red. Wu Yu would never be able to forget the frail figure that she had chased after the prison cart that winter night.

Not long after, the white paper on the desk was filled with words. Although the words on it were numerous, they were all written with one word: Wu Yu.

Perhaps she could entrust it to her thoughts of Wu Yu, who had passed away.

At this moment, Wu Yu really wanted to walk in and let her know that he had returned safely.

"No. He still didn't know the true strength of Supreme Immortal Clear Sky. Once he's more powerful than me, I'll have to endure for a while longer. If elder sister knows who I am, she will definitely reveal my identity. "

Wu Yu was still quite rational.

"Sis, I'll repay you in the future."

Every time he stayed here for a little longer, he would feel pampering in his heart. However, what he wanted was revenge! Therefore, after confirming Wu You's safety, he left resolutely. This time, he wanted to openly descend upon Wu Du and face to face with that Clear Sky Immortal!

The supervising immortal country was a matter of both the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Central Origin Sect. It was in accordance with the rules set by the two sects, as long as Wu Yu didn't reveal his identity. Exalted Immortal Clear Heaven did not dare to do anything to him.

After leaving the Worryfree Palace, Wu Yu prepared to leave the city on his Heavenly Cloud Peng. Only in the sky could he enter the Wu Capital as a deity in front of all these people!

As they walked through the city, they could faintly hear people discussing a name — Yuan Chen.

After Wu Yu was crippled, it was the eldest son of the Xifei, Yuan Hao, who became the Emperor of Dong Wu. In Wu Yu's eyes, Yuan Hao was a real trash.

As for the name Yuan Chen … Wu Yu was slightly impressed. It seemed that Xifei had given birth to a pair of twin brothers and the other was Yuan Chen.

However, Wu Yu had never seen Yuan Chen in his entire life, and it seemed as if he had disappeared. In any case, his existence belonged to the royal family's secret.

He stopped and listened.

"Back then, Empress Dowager Yuan Xi gave birth to a pair of twin brothers. Among them was Prince Yuan Chen, but we commoners have no idea! "I never thought that it would actually be Prince Yuan Chen. After he was born, he was sent to the immortal palace by Great Celestial Clear Sky and became an immortal!"

"This time, Prince Yuan Chen has returned. He is returning to the mortal world to take a look!"

"I didn't expect that an Immortal would emerge from our royal family!" This is great, the foundation of our Dong Wu will definitely be eternal. The royal families of the neighboring countries will all be scared out of their wits! "

After listening for a while, Wu Yu roughly understood. It turned out that after Yuan Chen was born, he was sent directly to the Central Yuan Dao Sect due to his foundation.

"Senior apprentice brother Mo said, in fact, it has been a long time since Clear Sky Immortal occupied this Eastern Yue Wu Country. Although the two sects had agreed to change it every ten years. However, it seems that no one from the Eastern Yue Wu Country has come for the past few decades. "

The main reason was because in the eyes of the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect, the land of the Eastern Yue Wu Country was too barren. However, this time, someone was proposing to regain the authority to manage this place.

"On the day that I return to Wu City, Yuan Chen has actually returned from the Middle Dao Sect. I wonder just what ability does he possess after having been in the Middle Dao Sect for over ten years!"

"At that time, I thought that Prince Yu was the most capable Crown Prince in the world, but compared to this Prince Yuan Chen, it's as different as dog shit and the sun!" That Prince Yu even dared to violate his mother's imperial concubine. He truly deserved to die. The heavens had descended down and the serpent had eaten him! "

Wu Yu could faintly hear the discussion going on.

"It looks like, although the Snake Demon, Wan Qing, didn't eat me, he probably came back to claim that he had eaten me because he was worried about Haotian's punishment. There are also some escaping soldiers who did not see my Master come and save me … "

This was a good thing, he could even conceal his identity, making Haotian and the others temporarily doubt him. They would only make Wu You suffer, and have to bear the news of his death. No wonder she looked so miserable.

"Haotian, Xifei …" Wu Yu was furious.

At this time, countless people in the entire Wu City were cheering. Wu Yu raised his head and saw a black dot in the sky in the north. It quickly appeared above Wu Du!

With the return of Yuan Chen, the entire country was in an uproar.

In front of the shocked eyes of the mortals, two tall horses appeared. The horses were flying in the sky, their entire bodies were snow-white, and the most surprising thing was that their two ribs had grown a pair of huge wings which were no different from a crane's. It was these wings that allowed a horse to fly in the air and look even more handsome!

"This is the crane horse cultivated by the Central Yuan Dao Sect." When Wu Yu saw 'Eastern Victory of the Divine Continent', he could be considered to have some experience. The crane horse's flight and weight bearing ability was about the same as the Sky Cloud Peng.

The two cranes were flying through the air, pulling an enormous golden chariot. The carriage definitely contained the so-called Prince Yuan Chen. To Wu Yu, this was nothing, but to a mortal, this was the descent of a celestial being!

The Immortal carriage was an unimaginably handsome winged horse ….

"Greetings, Exalted Immortal!"

All of a sudden, hundreds of thousands of people rushed out of their houses. When they saw the thorns in the sky, their eyes were filled with tears and tears of excitement.

From Wu Yu's point of view, the entire street was filled with people kneeling down. Everyone was trembling with excitement, and there was a sacred expression on their faces. This was the deepest respect they had for the immortals in the sky. In the past, they had also kowtowed in worship to Exalted Celestial Haotian. It was precisely the reverence of a mortal towards an immortal that caused Wu Yu to be easily swept out of Wu City by Supreme Celestial Haotian.

"So it turns out that sitting in the well and observing the sky is actually this frightening."

Wu Yu rejoiced that he had finally escaped from the vortex of the mortal world.

"Yuan Chen!"

The carriage flashed by and landed in the middle of Wu Du Imperial Palace. No one had the qualifications to see the true appearance of Prince Yuan Chen. But seeing the horses with their own eyes was enough to make them talk animatedly for the rest of their lives.

"He returned on the same day as me, but he's much more spirited than me."

Wu Yu clearly understood Yuan Chen's feelings. He and Yuan Chen didn't have any grudges between them, so Wu Yu didn't plan to vent his anger on him.

"Unless he stands on the side of Supreme Celestial Haotian and opposes me."

Actually, this was almost 100% of the matter, and that wasn't something Wu Yu could do. He only knew that those who blocked his way would be killed.

The Sky Cloud Peng was a spirit beast with the bloodline of a celestial beast. It had a wingspan of 50 feet and was much bigger than a crane horse. It was also much more powerful and tyrannical.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The heavenly roc tore through the clouds and arrived in the sky above Wu Du in the blink of an eye.

"The disciple of the Central Origin Dao Sect, Haotian. I am a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect. I have come with an Immortal country monitoring order. Come quickly and meet me!"

Wu Yu's voice exploded in the air above Wu Du like a bomb.
