Chapter 1785: The Grand Imperial Protector (1/2)
The old man seemed extremely ordinary. He did not stand out at all and was just like any other person. He stood there as he gazed emotionlessly at the sealed city below him. At that moment, his gaze sharpened.
“Hmph. Chanlong sure is bold to seal up a provincial city of our Divine Kingdom of Pingtian. Do you really think that our divine kingdom is your garden, where you can do whatever you want?” With that, the old man extended his hand and gently pressed down towards the tremendous formation.
Space seemed to sink with the gesture, and the formation that enveloped the entire provincial city seemed as fragile as glass, directly cracking and collapsing. It was unable to withstand a casual movement from the old man.
“It’s the Grand Imperial Protector!”
“Greetings to the Grand Imperial Protector!”
…
The people from the clans in the city all discovered the old man, and they became excited. Without any hesitation, they immediately bowed towards the old man deeply. Admiration covered their faces.
The Grand Imperial Protector possessed an extremely great status within the divine kingdom. It could even be described as supreme.
This was because the Grand Imperial Protector was a Godking. Aside from the divine king, only the Grand Imperial Protector was a Godking in the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian.
The white-bearded old man clasped his hands downwards. He did not mind the Gods’ politeness. He said coldly, “Chanlong has actually publically sealed up the provincial city of one of our thirty-six provinces. He’s provoking our divine kingdom with such actions. From today onwards, our divine kingdom forbids his entry. If he comes, I’ll personally kill him.”
“What! It was actually master Chanlong who sealed up our provincial city…”
The Gods all became surprised when they heard that it was Chanlong. Master Chanlong was a famed formation master. He possessed extremely great mastery over formations, and his personal cultivation had reached late Overgod, making him famed in the surrounding divine kingdoms.
With a single movement, the white-bearded old man disappeared silently. When he reappeared, he had arrived at the location where Jian Chen and master Chanlong had fought against each other.
Their battle had left the place completely distorted. The ground had sunk and was rippled with cracks, and the chaotic origin energy in the surroundings still had not settled down.
“There’s residual Laws of the Sword here. In this region, apart from Ling Hougong who has reached Overgod with his Laws of the Sword, there’s only that Jian Chen who suddenly appeared,” the white-bearded old man hovered in the sky as he observed the surroundings.
“Looks like it was Jian Chen who fought Chanlong. From the residual presences and some traces, there should have been three people taking part in the battle. The third person must have been Chanlong’s trapped soul.”
The old man suddenly closed his eyes. Using his cultivation at Godking, he carefully sensed the traces and marks left here.
When he opened his eyes, he looked in a certain direction, and to no surprise, that was the direction where Jian Chen had travelled off to.
“There are strands of Jian Chen’s presence here. Looks like he left in that direction. There’s a large amount of blood in the deep pit. The presence of the blood matches Chanlong’s presence extremely well, except it is a little chaotic at the same time. It’s caused by a teleportation formation disc and master Chanlong’s presence ends there as well. Looks like in the battle between the two, Chanlong was defeated!”
The white-bearded old man could not help but gasp when he reached this point in his analysis despite his great mental fortitude. He found it to be rather unbelievable.
