Chapter 5164: Seeing Off Editor: Misty Cloud Translations Unable to find the mountain pass, he halted his steps, gazing at this mist-shrouded place as a wave of deep contemplation washed over him. He had heard that the Azure Emperor’s Yunxiao Mountain was perpetually enveloped in clouds and mist, making its entrance nearly impossible to locate. Little did he expect it to be true. Having never been here before, he surmised that even if he continued circling around, he would never find the path up the mountain. A thought struck him. Instantly, he channeled the spirit energy within his body. A voice, imbued with that energy, emanated from him, echoing through the air. "I am Xiao Junyan, here to pay my respects to the Azure Emperor. I seek an audience." The voice, carrying the aura of spirit energy, spread through the clouds and mist, naturally reaching the ears of the Azure Emperor within Yunxiao Mountain. At that moment, the Azure Emperor was reading a book on a soft couch beneath a tree. Upon hearing the voice, he lifted his head, his gaze sweeping down toward the mountain’s base. "Xiao Junyan?" His deep voice carried a hint of indifference, his deep, dark eyes flickering slightly as if pondering who this Xiao Junyan might be. He closed the book he had been reading and casually set it aside. "Xiao Junyan? The youth Yun Qi met on the Xiao family’s territory several years ago?" He arched an eyebrow, seemingly surprised that Xiao Junyan, the young master of the Xiao family, would find his way here. Lying leisurely on the soft couch, his deep voice drifted from his mouth, reaching the ears of Xiao Junyan below the mountain. "This Emperor and the Great Emperor Xiao Tian do share some acquaintance. As for you, Xiao Junyan—a mere young master of the Xiao family—what qualifications do you possess to warrant an audience with this Emperor?" Below the mountain, hearing the transmitted voice, Xiao Junyan’s expression shifted slightly. He said, "Azure Emperor, my journey here was not only to visit you, but primarily to see Yun Qi. If it is inconvenient for you to allow Junyan to ascend the mountain, might Yun Qi be permitted to descend instead?" Upon hearing that his visit concerned Yun Qi, the Azure Emperor on the mountain tugged at the corner of his mouth and replied unhurriedly, "Your timing is poor. Yun Qi is in seclusion." Hearing this, Xiao Junyan frowned at the foot of the mountain and asked, "Then when might she emerge?" He had traveled a thousand miles, only to find her in seclusion. Such seclusion could last anywhere from ten days to half a month, or even years or longer. Could it be that this trip was for nothing? That he wouldn’t see her? "Hard to say," came the Azure Emperor’s indifferent reply. "I have something here. Would the Azure Emperor be so kind as to deliver it to Yun Qi?" Xiao Junyan pressed. Listening to his endless pestering, the Azure Emperor on the mountain showed slight displeasure. He looked down the slope, his brow furrowing slightly as his voice deepened. He called out coldly. "Xiao Junyan." Perhaps sensing the displeasure in the Azure Emperor’s voice, Xiao Junyan responded, "I’m here." "This Emperor dislikes anyone disturbing my disciple’s cultivation." He spoke bluntly, his words making his displeasure toward Xiao Junyan abundantly clear. "Azure Emperor, I won’t disturb her cultivation. I merely wish to see her," Xiao Junyan reiterated. "Do you not understand this Emperor’s words?" The Azure Emperor’s voice grew slightly deeper. " Leave now! When she emerges from seclusion, this Emperor will personally inform her that you sought her out." Xiao Junyan heard the voice echoing as, before he could utter a word, a whirlwind swept him up and hurled him far away. In that instant, he felt the force was overwhelmingly powerful—so powerful that he had not the slightest chance or possibility to resist.
