Chapter 1785: The Grand Imperial Protector (2/2)
This was because according to the information he possessed, only Jian Chen’s comprehension of the Laws of the Sword had reached the level of Overgods, while his personal cultivation was pitifully weak. Although he possessed a powerful trump card, as long as late Overgods were careful, it would not be able to threaten them.
However, in the battle against master Chanlong, Chanlong had actually suffered defeat even with the assistance of the soul. He found this rather difficult to believe.
“Looks like Jian Chen is not simple. I have to discuss this with Pingtian immediately,” murmured the old man before suddenly vanishing.
Of course, he did not truly vanish. Instead, he just flew too quickly, exceeding the speed that the naked eye could capture; this was why it seemed like he had suddenly vanished.
In the blink of an eye, it had already been three days since Jian Chen’s battle against master Chanlong.
Jian Chen had finally recovered the power of his soul after those three days.
“I’ve benefited from this battle. My Way of the Sword has increased some more. I can feel that I’ve reached the peak of minor achievement. I’m only a step away from partial achievement,” Jian Chen murmured. He changed his appearance again after making a full recovery, entering the provincial city while keeping a low profile as Yang Yutian.
Jian Chen became even more cautious after master Chanlong ambushed him within the provincial city last time.
“The divine king really is a bold man. He’s actually ordering the arrest of master Chanlong in the entire divine kingdom…”
“Only a Godking like the divine king has the power to order the arrest of a late Overgod…”
“Find master Chanlong. There’s no need to fight him at all. Just pass on the message as quickly as possible. I’ve heard that once master Chanlong is found, the Grand Imperial Protector will personally come to kill him…”
“Master Chanlong is powerful, but he won’t be able to fight back at all before the Grand Imperial Protector. Master Chanlong is in trouble now. However, as long as he doesn’t enter our divine kingdom again, he should be fine…”
…
An intense discussion drew Jian Chen over as soon as he approached the entrance of the city. He discovered that the divine king of the kingdom had actually ordered the arrest of master Chanlong personally.
“This order for arrest is more like a deterrence; it aims to deter foreign Overgods from acting up.”
“The appearance of Godking Duanmu’s dwelling has drawn over many Overgods in the surrounding divine kingdoms. As there are simply too many of them, even the divine king is unable to stop them all. He can only let the matter develop naturally.”
“Now that the matter of the dwelling has come to an end, the divine king has begun to show his true might. He’s using master Chanlong’s matters to deter the other foreign Overgods. They can come to our divine kingdom, but they’re not allowed to make trouble, or the Grand Imperial Protector will kill them personally.”
Jian Chen understood the intentions of the divine king very soon, and he smiled indifferently. What he feared the most right now was multiple Overgods hunting him down, but now with the divine king’s interference, the foreign Overgods would definitely be fearful. They would no longer be as bold.
After all, the other Overgods were not like master Chanlong. Their hatred for Jian Chen was not as deep. Even if they really did want to move against Jian Chen, they had to properly consider if they could kill Jian Chen before the Godking of the divine kingdom could arrive.
“That’s good news for me,” Jian Chen thought to himself with crossed arms before directly entering the city. He thought some more, “It’s time for me to settle down here. From now onwards, I am in charge of the Dong’an province!”
