Chapter 5873
- Perhaps it was due to David Bishop’s genuine interest in listening to Max talking about the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven, Max’s impression of David Bishop was rather favorable, and he grew more familiar with David Bishop as well. It was also for these reasons that he asked tentatively, “Brother David, my First Senior Brother is imprisoned in the Heavenly Pool Palace’s Thousands Chains Prison. Do you know how he’s faring?” ‘Thousands Chains Prison?’ David Bishop’s eyes narrowed imperceptibly. It was his first time hearing about such a place in the Heavenly Pool Palace. During his investigations on places where Bella’s parents might be imprisoned, he did not hear anything about the Thousands Chains Prison at all. Since he did not dare to ask the high-ranking officials in the Heavenly Pool Palace about this matter, he could only ask those who did hold high positions in the palace. These people, naturally, did not know much. He had planned to ask Henry Shaw about this matter after they had grown more familiar. Since Henry Shaw was one of the nine titled Celestial Emperors in the Heavenly Pool Palace, it stood to reason that he should be privy to Bella’s parents’ whereabouts. He had assumed he would only be able to obtain useful information from Henry Shaw; he did not expect he would be able to obtain such useful information from a Heavenly Sword Mountain disciple in the Title Temple’s testing ground for Celestial Lords. “Are you sure your First Senior Brother is imprisoned in the Thousands Chains Prison?” David Bishop asked as his eyes flashed briefly. “That’s what my master told me,” Max said, “My master is the Hidden Sword Celestial Emperor of the Heavenly Sword Mountain. Many people know him as the Hidden Sword Old Man... My master was associated with the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven in the past.” A hint of pride could be heard in Max’s voice when he spoke. “Oh?” David Bishop looked at Max in surprise. “Tell me all about it.” In David Bishop’s opinion, since Max’s master was acquainted with Dwayne Marsh, it probably meant that they were friends. “Before the Heavenly Emperor took over the position of the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven, he used to wander the lands to fight Sword Celestials... My teacher was defeated by him,” Max said. David Bishop hesitated for a beat before he asked, “So you’re saying your master is associated with Dwayne Marsh because he was once defeated by Dwayne Marsh?” Max nodded as he smiled and said, “Doesn’t that count as being associated with the Heavenly Emperor?” David Bishop was rendered speechless by Max’s words. If such a thing could be considered as being associated with Dwayne Marsh, then what was his relationship with Dwayne Marsh whose legacy he inherited in his hometown in the mundane realm? ... Another two days passed before David Bishop and Max encountered another person. The other person was a tall and muscular young man, and he was dressed in a long gray robe. His eyes were big, framed by a pair of bushy eyebrows. There was a sinister air around him that made one feel as though he was not human. As David Bishop and Max flew toward the grey-clad young man, Max said through Voice Transmission. “He’s not a human.” “I sensed it as well.” As the duo drew closer and closer to the young man, the feeling that the young man was not human grew stronger and stronger. The young man stood still and waited for the duo. It was clear he had no intention of running away. Before the duo came to a halt, the young man scoffed before he raised his hand for a preemptive strike. A chilling energy swept toward David Bishop and Max in just an instant. “The law of ice?” David Bishop narrowed his eyes as he looked at the wall of ice that appeared in front of him. With just a thought, he teleported to the other side of the ice wall. Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Meanwhile, golden sword rays revolved around Max as he ran into the ice wall. In just a blink of an eye, the ice wall shattered. Following that, he continued making his way toward the grey-clad young man. “Not bad,” the young man said in a raspy voice. A hint of surprise could be seen in his eyes when he looked at Max. Since David Bishop had used the law of space’s Teleportation Profundity, he could not accurately gauge David Bishop’s strength. For this reason, he paid more attention to Max who displayed his extraordinary strength.
