Yunjing, in a cell.
Ye Cang sat cross-legged in the corner of the cell, his face full of worry and irritability.
After being imprisoned for more than a year, as soon as he recovered a little cultivation, he was immediately disabled, and as soon as he recovered a little soul power, he was immediately eliminated. This year, I was frightened every day, for fear of being cut down by Hong Zhan.
It's been more than a year, and no one has come to save him, and he's about to despair. He couldn't understand how he could be so miserable when he was the third prince?
"Why hasn't my father come to save me yet?" Ye Cang was sad and indignant.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the cell.
"Are you here to abolish my cultivation again?" Ye Cang said depressedly, but the next moment, his face suddenly changed and said, "No, it's not the time to abolish cultivation yet."
Buzz! There was a sound of the cell being lifted.
But he saw a group of big green guards coming, looking at him with a wary face.
"Why are so many people here? What are you going to do?" Ye Cang was surprised.
"Ye Cang, come with us." A guard said.
Ye Cang's heart chuckled, is this going to take me to the execution?
"I'm not leaving, what are you going to do? Make it clear." Ye Cang said nervously.
All the guards frowned.
"Don't talk nonsense with him, the emperor's will is important, take him on the road directly." A guard said.
"On the road? What's on the road?" Ye Cang exclaimed.
A group of Daqing guards quickly stepped forward and captured Ye Cang.
Ye Cang looked horrified, it's over, this is going to poison me, no one has come to redeem me for more than a year, is Daqing impatient?
"Let go of me, I am the great prince, I want to see Hong Zhan, I want to see Hong Zhan." Ye Cang cried out in horror.
However, no matter how much he shouted, it was useless, and he was grabbed by a group of Daqing guards and left quickly.
Along the way, Ye Cang was terrified and even more frightened to tears, he called Hong Zhan and his father, but no one paid attention to him, and he showed despair.
Soon, they came to the door of a temple with a closed door.
"Report to Your Majesty, Prince Ye Cang brought it." A guard said respectfully.
"You guys step back." The sound of Hong Zhan came from the hall.
"Yes!" The guards responded.
Ye Cang wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said in astonishment: "Aren't you going to execute me?"
The guards looked at Ye Cang with strange expressions, and then they all retreated.
Ye Cang: "......"
At this time, the palace door opened a thin crack, and a suction force came, and with a whoosh, Ye Cang was sucked into the hall. With a bang, the palace door closed again.
In the main hall, Hong Zhan and the head of the waterway were sitting there, looking at Ye Cang who suddenly fell in.
When the water channel saw the tear stains at the corners of Ye Cang's eyes, she immediately showed a worried expression, but she looked at Hong Zhan and didn't say anything after all.
Ye Cang also saw Hong Zhan and the head of the waterway. However, he didn't care about the head of the waterway, he just looked at Hong Zhan and said eagerly: "Hong Zhan, did my father send someone to redeem me?"
"No." Hong Zhan said.
"No? It's impossible." Ye Cang looked disbelieving and said in a panic.
"But, the waterway leader has come to redeem you." Hong Zhan said.
"What?" Ye Cang looked at the head of the waterway in astonishment.
Although he had heard of the head of the waterway, he had never met him.
"The head of the waterway said, she is your mother. I don't believe it, so I'll pull you to verify." Hong Zhan said.
Ye Cang looked at the head of the waterway in surprise, and then frowned and said: "My mother passed away when I was born, why do you want to pretend to be my mother?"
The water leader stared at Ye Cang for a while, then turned to Hong Zhan and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for not embarrassing Ye Cang."
Hong Zhan shook his head and said: "You don't have to thank me, I am going to use Ye Cang to negotiate with the Great Absolute Heavenly Dynasty, but unfortunately, no one in the Great Absolute Heavenly Dynasty came to redeem him, but you came."
The head of the waterway said with a complicated expression: "Your Majesty, this time I am here to redeem him, you don't need to let him come, just just tell him the conditions for redemption."
Hong Zhan shook his head and said: "Naturally, I have to find out the truth, otherwise, if you come to seek revenge and turn around and kill Ye Cang, wouldn't the Great Heavenly Dynasty want to count this matter on my head?"
"This ......" The head of the water said with a complicated expression.
Hong Zhan took out a basin-shaped magic weapon, which contained purple liquid, steaming bursts of smoke and mist, surrounded by dragon-shaped carvings, extremely mysterious and beautiful.
"You should all know this magic weapon, it is specially used to test the bloodline, please two of you, each inject a trace of blood and soul power into the basin." Hong Zhan said.
This is a treasure in the Zhou family's treasure house, verifying the bloodline, extremely effective.
Although Ye Cang didn't believe that the head of the waterway was his mother, he couldn't help him at the moment, and the first thing he wanted to redeem was also a life-saving straw.
He walked to the basin, cut his fingers through the spikes on the basin, dripped blood, and injected a trace of soul power that had just been restored into the basin.
The head of the waterway didn't want to verify, but in order to save Ye Cang, he eventually dripped blood and poured soul power.
At the next moment, the blood of the two gradually melted in the basin, and the soul power also melted, and the entire basin-shaped magic weapon trembled, blooming with extremely bright light.
"How is this possible?" Ye Cang exclaimed.
His Great Absolute Heavenly Dynasty also had this magic weapon for measuring bloodline, and this bright light proved that he had a very close blood relationship with the head of the waterway.
"It's fake, my mother has long since died, who are you, why do you pretend to be my mother?" Ye Cang looked at the head of the waterway in shock and anger.
The waterway opened its mouth for the first time, and didn't know how to explain it for a while.
"Okay, you can shut up, and if you make any more noise, get out of the palace." Hong Zhan shouted.
Ye Cang glared at Hong Zhan, but suppressed his excitement.
Hong Zhan looked at the basin-shaped magic weapon, studied it carefully for a while, and then said: "It seems that Ye Cang is really your son."
"I'm not." Ye Cang glared angrily.
Hong Zhan ignored Ye Cang, but looked at the head of the waterway and said: "Can you ask why?"
The water leader shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, I can't say it. I can only prove to you that I am indeed Ye Cang's mother, I want to redeem Ye Cang, and then talk to you about the conditions for redeeming him, okay?"
Hong Zhan stared at the waterway for a while, and finally nodded and said, "Okay!"
On the one hand, the head of the waterway is likely to be Zhou Jingxuan's mother, who is willing to sell face.
On the other hand, he was also ready to let Ye Cang go, because Ye Cang was the reincarnation of the Sword God, Xu Keer said that the Sword God was originally a friend of the Canglong God Envoy. He really hoped that Ye Cang could recover his memory and maybe become an ally.
"What conditions do you need to let me redeem Ye Cang." Shui Shui Shou asked.
Hong Zhan said: "Ye Cang came to destroy Yunjing during the Battle of Qingcang, this matter is extremely bad, if it weren't for Yunjing's heritage, he would have destroyed the country, this matter is not trivial.
He is still a cultivator in the Heavenly Saint Realm, and once he gets out of trouble, he will pose a threat to my Daqing. It stands to reason that even if he is not killed, he should be imprisoned for life."
Ye Cang's face changed, and he looked at Hong Zhan with an annoyed expression, but at this moment, with the opportunity to leave Yunjing, he could only suppress his anger at this moment.
"Needless to say, you can put forward conditions." The head of the waterway said.
Hong Zhan glanced at the waterway and said: "Let's do this, use your Zhending to redeem him."
"What?" The head of the waterway changed his expression.
Hong Zhan said in an affirmative tone: "I have everything else. I just want to shake the cauldron. If you agree, leave the Zhen Cauldron, you can take Ye Cang away. If you don't agree, the matter will be settled."
The water leader looked embarrassed and fell into thought.
Ye Cang looked at the head of the waterway with an expectant expression. He had stayed in Yunjing enough, not because Daqing abused him, but because he lived in fear all the time, for fear that he would suddenly be poisoned at some point.
He also knew that Zhending was precious, but this was his only chance now.
The water leader looked at Ye Cang's expectant eyes, and finally took a deep breath and said, "Okay!"
Buzz!
The first mouth of the waterway opened its mouth and spat out the cauldron, and with a bang, the cauldron fell to the ground, with a trace of thunder and lightning rising from it.
Hong Zhan checked the Zhending for a while, made sure it was correct, and with a wave of his hand, he opened the entrance and exit of the underworld and sent the Zhending into the underworld. Only then did I feel relieved.
"Okay, you can take Ye Cang away." Hong Zhan said.
The head of the waterway kept staring at Hong Zhan, seeing that Hong Zhan had sent the Zhending into the underworld, she was still worried that Hong Zhan would go back on her word, but she didn't want to think that Hong Zhan was so straightforward.
"Thank you." The head of the waterway said.
Ye Cang on the side was ecstatic, can he finally leave Yunjing?
The waterway first took out a large amount of elixir and handed it to Ye Cang. Ye Cang took the pill, made sure it was okay, and hurriedly swallowed it.
Then, the waterway head wrapped her and Ye Cang in mist, and when the palace door opened, with a whoosh, the two rushed out of the hall and flew to the sky.
At Hong Zhan's request, no one stopped them.
After sending the two away, Hong Zhan retrieved the Zhending from the underworld and quickly announced that he was going to retreat.
He got another cauldron, and he quickly melted it.
-----
After the waterway leader left Yunjing with Ye Cang, he arrived at a secret manor.
"Aren't we going back to the Great Heavenly Empire?" Ye Cang asked.
He was a little unable to look directly at the head of the waterway now, and his heart was very confused, not knowing what to say. After all, he had no mother since he was a child, and suddenly someone said it was his mother, and he was not used to it.
"You restore your cultivation first, and then talk about other things when you have the power to protect yourself, so as not to have an accident." The head of the waterway said.
Saying that, she took out a large amount of elixir and gave it to Ye Cang.
Ye Cang nodded immediately, he hurriedly used these pills to restore his cultivation.
In this way, after more than half a year, Ye Cang's injuries and cultivation finally recovered completely.
He had the power to protect himself, and his curiosity had reached its extreme, so he walked out of his retreat hall and went to find the head of the waterway.
But as soon as he came out, he saw that the manor was wrapped in an enchantment.
The manor was empty, only a man's voice came from a large hall in the distance, Ye Cang instantly heard it, it was the voice of his father, the Great Saint Ye Wuchen.
"Who asked you to go to Yunjing on your own? I can't sense the Zhending anymore, the Zhending has been destroyed by the flood war, do you know?" Ye Wuchen's angry voice came.
