Chapter 444: Killing the Hua Yun Sect (One)
Chang Bai exhaled slowly with some minor shock still, “The fourth master is quite the genius. I once held large expectations for the fourth master, but I never would have imagined that after six years, the fourth master would transform into a Heaven Saint Master. Such a talent like this is rarely seen even once every ten thousand years on the continent.”
“Haha…” Hearing Chang Bai’s praise, Changyang Ba couldn’t help but laugh from the joy that sprung from his heart. Even his eyes had tears flowing from them he was so full of joy.
“This is far too unbelievable for anyone. Xiangtian is a Heaven Saint Master? We should spread this news around immediately, with such a genius in the Changyang clan, even the imperial palace will try to curry favor with us.” Jian Chen’s aunt Yu Fengyan spoke.
Straight away, Jian Chen replied, “Second aunt, something like this shouldn’t be revealed so easily. I do not wish for many people to know.”
A 21 year old Heaven Saint Master would spread through the continent like wildfire. It would surely bring about trouble, therefore Jian Chen did not wish for everyone to know about it just yet.
“The fourth master is correct, we should not publicly announce this just yet. Let us hide it for now, if the major powers within the continent were to hear about the fourth master’s talent, who knows what might happen in the future? Some may decide to bring the fourth master in their own grace, some may decide that the fourth master may be a danger to them later.” Chang Bai spoke seriously.
Changyang Ba nodded his head in understanding. As he began to calm down, he spoke, “Chang Bai is correct. Xiang’er’s secret should be kept within our clan. Although it would bring us great honor if known, it would also bring trouble to Xiang’er.”
Hearing this, Bi Yuntian felt some fear for her child. There was no one more concerned for her child than her, and even the second aunt felt the severeness of the situation. A man innocent of any crime would still be guilty of treasuring a jade ring. All the adults here knew that people understood that line of reasoning, and to their eyes, Jian Chen had transformed into a precious treasure.
Hearing Chang Bai and his father speak, Jian Chen didn’t care for the problem any more. He was well aware that with his strength, there was no danger to be had unless he came across a Saint Ruler. However, even if a Saint Ruler wanted to do something to him, Jian Chen’s status as an Imperial Protector of the Qinhuang Kingdom was enough for the Qinhuang Kingdom to take action on his behalf.
Within the Gesun Kingdom’s imperial palace, the royally dressed king and the headmaster of Kargath Academy Khafir were standing within a pavilion situated in the garden.
“Khafir, who do you think the Imperial Protector, Jian Chen is? Why would he rush from a distant kingdom to our Gesun Kingdom to help out? Although our Gesun Kingdom has many rich lands, it isn’t enough to provoke the Qinhuang Kingdom’s interest, furthermore, the distance between our kingdoms is far too wide for it to matter.” The king of the Gesun Kingdom pondered curiously. These were questions he had spent many hours thinking about, but he had not arrived at an answer yet.
Khafir shook his head, “The name of ‘Jian Chen’ is not one I recognize. I too am puzzled on just why the Qinhuang Kingdom would provide assistance to our kingdom. For them to come from such a distant kingdom, there has to be some sort of connection between their Imperial Protector and our Gesun Kingdom.”
The king’s eyes narrowed together with a bright glow visible, “Khafir, do you think it has to do with Patriarch Changyang?”
Khafir’s eyes lit up with a bright gleam at the question. At the same time, a guard from outside came running in before kneeling before the two, “Your majesty, I come bearing an urgent report from Lore City!”
Upon hearing that there was news from Lore City, the king commanded, “Hand it over.”
The guard immediately walked toward the king and respectfully placed the message into the king’s hands. Unraveling the message, the king read the message before exclaiming in shock, “He was still alive?”
Khafir’s body stiffened as he spoke in astonishment, “Did Patriarch Changyang return? If he has, then this matter with the Qinhuang Kingdom is all but over.”
The king shook his head before handing the message to Khafir.
Reading the contents of the message, Khafir displayed a look of shock on his face as well, “Changyang Xiangtian? I had no idea that he was alive or had even come back. When he left, it was without a trace, even the Changyang clan couldn’t find any trace of him when they searched for him. I had thought that he died already, but for him to return, that is quite shocking.”
The king had a smile on his face as he spoke, “That Changyang Xiangtian’s return is really quite timely now that Chang Wuji’s strength has been revealed. If it were not for the matter at the northern stronghold, we would have never known how strong Chang Wuji is. Even the Hua Yun Sect won’t dare go against the Changyang clan, Changyang Xiangtian is safe for now.”
Khafir nodded his head before thinking back to a few years ago at Kargath Academy when the energy of the world flew around Jian Chen with an explosive force when he became a Saint. “Changyang Xiangtian was no ordinary genius. Given time, he will pass any limits placed on him and will surely be stronger.”
