Chapter 763: Imperial CapitalTranslator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

Upon realizing that he was unable to locate Lilia even with his own Sudden Inspiration, Fang Xingjian planned on switching his target to the evil god summoning ritual.

Since the Purple Robed Mages were going to participate in it as well, he would naturally be able to track down the Purple Robed Mages during the ritual and then Lilia’s location from there.

The next day, news of Fang Xingjian coming out from his seclusion spread through the entire academy. Fang Xingjian also got to know of the situation in the Great Western Region during his period of absence by listening to Zhou Xingwen’s reports.

While Fang Xingjian had been cultivating in seclusion, striving for the next tier of the Nine-Tiered Heavens, a mysterious Divine level expert had infiltrated into the academy.

However, the current state of the academy was unlike before. Almost all of the core members possessed the reinforcements from the ninth level of the mystical prints, and there were also three Divine level experts taking charge—the Fourth Prince, Prince Philip, and Tyrant. Not only did they manage to chase off the intruder, but they also dealt serious injuries onto the intruder.

Other than them, the Governor and the Head of Department had both reached the level of a Demigod with three tiers of perfection. Zhou Xingwen, Robert, Ronan, and Ferdinand had also become level 29 Conferred Knights with the help of the ninth level of the mystical prints.

As such, the academy’s power could be said to be at the top within the region. They were fully deserving of being known as a top notch influence in the Empire.

There had also been an unknown Mage who attempted to infiltrate the Xingwu Region. The intruder was then pushed back by the three Divine level experts—Lan Yue, Blue Sacred Moonlight, and Astral Ancestor.

After the Northern Ice Region was suppressed by Fang Xingjian, the Holy Light clan had further developed the region to become as sturdy as a metal barrel. Under the lead of Jacob who was the head of the Holy Light Clan, everyone had pledged their loyalty to Fang Xingjian.

With that, out of the eight regions in the Empire, the Great Western Region, Northern Ice Region, and Xingwu Region were now under the Second Prince’s faction, or rather, under Fang Xingjian’s control.

Zhou Xingwen stood before Fang Xingjian and said, “Xingjian, the scouts that the Second Prince left in the palace have all been removed. The palace is now under the control of many groups of mysterious experts. There are even unfamiliar Divine level experts entering and leaving the place.”

Fang Xingjian raised his brows. “Unfamiliar Divine level experts?”

“That’s right,” Zhou Xingwen said, “The various great forces in the world have never given up on infiltrating into the palace. There are always various attendants or servants getting bribed.”

As the center of the world, the palace would always be a place of concern for all influences and organizations. Regardless of whether it was Prince Philip, the Fourth Prince, the Second Prince, or other top notch influences, they would definitely have their own spies in the palace. It was just that their spies would have varying levels of abilities and would have taken up different positions.

Things like these would always continue to happen despite there being prohibitions throughout the generations. There was simply no way to stop this situation from happening.

Zhou Xingwen continued, “But more than one month ago, His Majesty changed all the people in the palace, so all the spies have been removed. In their places, there are now a big batch of mysterious experts. Even when a Demigod from the northern’s Steel Lion Kingdom attempted to infiltrate, the person was immediately killed on the spot by the guards.”

Fang Xingjian nodded and thought of the information he had received concerning ‘Shang’.

Right now, while he was in possession of two sets of Sudden Inspiration from the mystical prints and from being at tier four of the Divine level, Fang Xingjian’s guesses were increasingly accurate. Although he could not state the concrete reason as to why, he guessed that this matter definitely related to ‘Shang’. A firm confidence about the past and future grew in his heart.

Zhou Xingwen continued, “The members of the Krieg royal family are not the only ones involved in this evil god summoning ritual. Even the Gold, Red, Black and Purple faction Mages are involved as well. The implications of this ritual are so great that it can affect the trends that can change history.

“It’s likely that other than the Church of Universal Truth, there is no one else who can change the fact that this matter will definitely occur.”

Fang Xingjian nodded. “Make preparations. I’m going to make a trip to the Imperial Capital.”

Zhou Xingwen got a great shock and quickly tried to persuade, “Xingjian, I know that your sword arts are unrivalled in the world, but right now, the waters of the Imperial Capital are deeper than we can imagine. Not only is there Alexander, a tier five Divine level expert, but the Gold, Red, Black and Purple Mage Kings are there as well. Moreover, each of their abilities would be stronger than Alexander’s. There are also the mysterious experts who have suddenly appeared in the palace.
