Chapter 709: Changes of the Holy Empire (One)
Jian Chen used the Space Gate at Dazhou Kingdom without any hinderance, directly travelling to Qinhuang Kingdom.
This time, the destination for the Space Gate was clearly more accurate the the times before, directly materializing in a region of rural wilderness in the Qinhuang Kingdom.
Jian Chen passed through the Space Gate and arrived at Qinhuang Kingdom. He appeared in an unfamiliar area of wilderness. He looked around before immediately soaring up into the sky, seeing all the terrain in the radius of a few kilometers. Afterwards, he immediately took out a map from him Space Ring and began examining it.
After a while, Jian Chen finally found his directions. He put the map away and fused with the surrounding space, disappearing as a blurry shadow. He hurried towards the royal palace of the kingdom with his greatest speed.
Four hours later, Jian Chen had already traversed several thousand kilometers to arrive at the royal palace. He continued towards the centre of the imperial city without any changes in his speed, to where the palace was.
As soon as Jian Chen approached the imperial palace, he was sensed by the four Imperial Protectors inside. Also, a voice rang in Jian Chen’s ears, “Imperial Protector Jian Chen, please come to the eastern side where the Qinhuang Palace is. We’ll talk there.”
At the same time in the imperial palace, the four Imperial Protectors who were cultivating in the Qin Heaven Palace opened their eyes simultaneously. Three of the people shook slightly and disappeared. Nobody knew where they went.
Jian Chen immediately changed his direction. He turned into an afterimage mid-air, quickly flying towards the east where the Qin Heaven Palace was. This time when he soared into the palace, only the four Imperial Protectors who were Saint Rulers could feel him. He had not alerted any of the Heaven Saint Masters within the palace.
On the east, a total of five hundred elite guards clad in golden armor stood dead-straight outside the Qin Heaven Palace. They were currently guarding the most important part of the royal palace.
Just at this moment, above the open square outside the palace, a figure descended extremely quickly with a blur. He appeared outside the main entrance of the Qin Heaven Palace without any sound or presence at all.
Even though it was like that, the person’s arrival was still discovered by the five hundred elite guards at the very moment it occurred. However, the guards did not reveal any expression of surprise, because they had just received the transmitted message from within the Qin Heaven Palace and knew that the fifth Imperial Protector, Jian Chen, was about to come.
The head guard immediately jogged over to where Jian Chen was. He knelt on one knee and said with extreme respect, “Your humble servant greets sir Imperial Protector.”
“Your humble servant greets sir Imperial Protector!” Behind the head guard, all five hundred guards knelt on one knee in sync and exclaimed with a resonant voice. It was so loud that it had basically spread throughout the entire royal palace, alerting everyone inside.
Within in the study of the palace, the king of Qinhuang Kingdom slowly put down the book in his hands. He looked towards the direction of the Qin Heaven Palace and mumbled, “Perhaps Jian Chen is here?” Shortly afterwards, he placed the book on the table and stood up, exiting the study. A personal guard immediately put the book back to where it belonged before closely following behind him.
The third prince, Qin Ji, also left the Drifting Clouds Palace and stared towards the east where the Qin Heaven Palace was. He said, “The four esteemed Imperial Protectors very rarely leave the Qin Heaven Palace and even if they do come out of the palace, they won’t make such a great disturbance with their temperaments. Perhaps brother Jian Chen has come?” Thinking up to there, a gleam of light immediately flashed in the third prince’s eyes. His gaze was filled with joy, “I heard brother Jian Chen has already broken through to a Saint Ruler from a Heaven Saint Master. I wonder if it’s true or not.”
