Chapter 710: Changes of the Holy Empire (Two)
“What! The Qinhuang Kingdom is actually a subsidiary of the Holy Empire!” What Qin Yunlong had said greatly shocked Jian Chen.
Qin Yunlong nodded solemnly, “Correct. My Qinhuang Kingdom is indeed a subsidiary of the Holy Empire. Other than my Qinhuang Kingdom, there are two other great kingdoms which was subsidiaries to the Holy Empires, and they are the Fire Dragon Kingdom and the Budis Kingdom. The two great kingdoms possess similar strength, and aren’t much weaker compared to my Qinhuang Kingdom.”
“This is a great secret on the Tian Yuan Continent. Ordinary people have no idea about it, and there aren’t many who know of it even in the ancient clans.” Harry supplemented.
“Then what is the problem the Qinhuang Kingdom is facing? Perhaps it comes from the Holy Empire?” Jian Chen asked curiously.
“Correct!” Qin Yunlong nodded his head seriously, “The Holy Empire is about to change.”
“Change?” Jian Chen was slightly confused and immediately revealed an expression of thought.
Qin Yunlong looked at the pondering Jian Chen and said, “Jian Chen, the Holy Empire is actually not like the way you think it is, that the royal family rules the entire empire. It’s actually controlled by three powerful clans. As for the emperor of the Holy Empire, it’s just a position alternated between the three clans. In other words, the ones who have power over the empire are not the royal family but the three clans.”
“All three clans possess the same strength as ancient clans. Each clan has always been mutually impeded like the legs on a tripod, but the root of the problem this time is that the balance has been broken. The three clans are no longer in balance with one another in terms of strength. The Zaar family currently possesses greater strength than the other two combined, and they’ve already begun to move. I believe they will move against the two other clans, the Kazda clan and the Kara clan to seize power to rule the empire all by themselves.”
“As for my Qinhuang Kingdom, we are subsidiaries of the Kara clan. As subsidiaries of the three clans, they’ve already sucked our Qinhuang Kingdom and the other two great kingdoms into their fight. We’re unable to act independently so our Qinhuang Kingdom will probably encounter problems in the close future.”
Hearing what was said, Jian Chen could not help but think about the moment in the finals of the Gathering of Mercenaries. He could still remember clearly that his powerful opponent came from the Holy Empire, someone called Zaar Ere. In the final match, Zaar Ere and he had a conversation in the arena. Back then, Zaar Ere offered to give up first place in return for Jian Chen agreeing to one of his requests. At that time, Jian Chen understood that Zaar Ere wanted to become close friends with him like he was with Ming Dong, so Jian Chen declined without any hesitation. This was because he could already hear from how Zaar Ere spoke that there was a terrifying power-battle attempting to drag him in.
It was just that Jian Chen had never thought he would be still be dragged into it a few years later. However, his status was rather different from what it was before.
“The Holy Empire holds the only chance for me to become a Class 7 Radiant Saint Master. I have to go there. But now, I, Jian Chen, will have to participate in the fight for power between the three clans. Perhaps this is fate?” Jian Chen thought.
“Jian Chen, originally, the four of us did not want you to get involved, but with our current grim situation, it’s not about us four anymore. This is why our Qinhuang Kingdom needs your help.” Qin Qiuzheng said softly as he stared deeply at Jian Chen. His expression was solemn.
Jian Chen paused for a while before finally speaking again, “Four seniors, as an Imperial Protector of Qinhuang Kingdom, I, Jian Chen, will definitely think for the future and safety of the kingdom. Also, I have some matters to resolve in the Holy Empire, so this time, why don’t I use the identity as an Imperial Protector of Qinhuang Kingdom to go there and do things? Perhaps I’ll encounter fewer troubles.”
The four Imperial Protectors revealed some joy in their expressions. Qin Qiuzheng smiled, “Jian Chen, with you, our Qinhuang Kingdom will rise greatly in strength. Also, the last time I saw you, another Saint Ruler and a Class 7 Magical Beast seemed to follow you. I wonder if you can get them to help out too?”
“I have no right to interfere with what Nubis and Jiede Tai do. When I return, I’ll ask them.” Jian Chen replied.
“Sure!”
After the important discuss, Jian Chen and the four Imperial Protectors talked some more. He gained an even better understanding of the Holy Empire and also brought up the topic of Class 7 Radiant Saint Masters in attempt to learn more about them. However, the answers he received from the four of them were almost exactly the same as the ones he received from Bi Hai, so he did not learn anything new.
When Jian Chen departed from the Qin Heaven Palace, it was already evening. Around a thousand meters from the front of the Qin Heaven Palace, a group of people had already gathered there for a very long time. The person who stood at the very front was the king of Qinhuang Kingdom, and behind him, there were a few members of the royal family, as well as an Heaven Saint Master Imperial Advisor.
