Chapter 164 - You’ve Kicked Into A Metal Board (1/2)
“I’m not sure… Eunuch Zhang from the royal palace is already here. He’s waiting for you in the main hall.
The old servant knelt on the ground and said trembling.
A person’s welfare was tied to those who were under him. If the Crown Prince’s status were to drop, it would impact everyone in the Crown Prince’s Residence.
The Crown Prince tried to calm himself down and walked out of the annex hall.
An impending storm would be sweeping through Great Chen soon.
…
Outside of Great Chen’s royal city, the sky was totally clear.
Zhou Xuanji and Zhao Congjian walked slowly. A person followed behind them.
It was Tanhua Sect’s Thousand-hands Devil Qin Gang!
“Vice-Suzerain, what are you going to Great Chen for?”
Qin Gang asked with formality. His injuries were very much healed. Even after he changed into white clothing, he could not cover his demonic aura that sent shivers down people’s spines.
“None of your business. You better stay away from me. I’m not your Vice-Suzerain!”
Zhou Xuanji said impatiently. Why is this guy like sticky plaster? Can’t even get rid of him.
“The Suzerain ordered me to follow and protect you always, and to rebuild Tanhua Sect together!”
Qin Gang said. A fanatical passion could be seen on his face.
He suddenly cried out loud, “Tanhua in the human world, Asura in Hades!”
Zhou Xuaji slapped him straightaway, but this guy managed to dodge it with agility.
“Is something wrong with your brain?”
Zhou Xuanji cursed at him. Everyone thinks your Tanhua Sect is detestable and you find it okay to shout like that?
You don’t want to live anymore?
Qin Gang said clear-mindedly, “Although Tanhua Sect fell, we must not lose our pride. Vice-Suzerain, you have to do so as well. We must maintain our pride, never to be destroyed!”
Lunatic!
Zhou Xuaji rolled his eyes. Is everyone in Tanhua Sect a lunatic?
Zhao Congjian was speechless as well. Too bad, he could not defeat Qin Gang, so he could only remain silent.
“I’m going to assassinate the Crown Prince of Great Chen next. If you follow and expose your identity, you will die in the royal capital.”
Zhou Xuanji tried to remain calm and said.
After hearing this, Qin Gang showed no fear. “I must protect the safety of Vice-Suzerain. Or else, if Suzerain dies in Duantian Cliff, I will be too ashamed to face her in hell.”
Zhou Xuanji’s head was throbbing just by listening to him. This guy looked severe, but why was he like a naggy monk? He was nagging non-stop, almost as if he was chanting.
And so, the three entered the royal capital together.
After gathering some information, they walked toward the Crown Prince’s Residence.
Along the way, they heard a lot of news about the new heir to the throne, Chen Bantian.
The royal bloodline of the Yellow Dragon!
He returned suddenly!
He became the heir to the throne!
Chen Bantian had become a famous person in Great Chen, just like Zhou Xuanji when he was in Great Zhou.
“Not bad. He might really become the Emperor of Great Chen in the future.”
Zhao Congjian sighed in amazement. He remembered the slumbering young man who always followed behind them and felt somewhat relieved and proud.
Qin Gang asked curiously, “You know this heir to the throne?”
Zhou Xuanji and Zhao Congjian did not reply.
They had yet to acknowledge Qin Gang, so they would not tell him much.
Two hours later.
They found the Crown Prince’s Residence.
Soldiers circled around the residence. Each of them looked intimidating.
The three stood behind a corner on the street and observed silently.
“Let’s go and get your justice!”
Zhou Xuanji walked out first, followed by Zhou Xuanji.
Qin Gang wiped his face and then he looked extremely ordinary. He was hardly identifiable in the sea of people.
They came to the main gate and were stopped by two guards.
“This is the Crown Prince’s Residence. No trespassers!”
A tall soldier said with a deep voice. Impatience was written all over his face.
Recently, the Crown Prince’s Residence became a joke in Great Chen, which brought great shame to the guards.
“Tell your Crown Prince, Zhao Congjian wants to find him. You just have to tell him the name, he will come out for sure.”
Zhou Xuanji said calmly. He did not draw his legendary swords, lest he blew up the issue.
According to his understanding, Great Chen did not have any significantly powerful cultivators.
The most powerful person would be Great Chen’s Emperor. But with Chen Bantian around, it would not be a problem.
