Chapter 1822: The Royal Capital of Pingtian (1/2)

”Yes sir!” A general below stood up and dropped one knee to the ground, accepting the orders with courtesy.

Liu Shan left the divine hall. Without any hesitation, he summoned his vice generals.

“General Liu, what’s happening? Are we attacking the royal capital seeing how urgently you’ve summoned us?” Very soon, two burly men in tight, black robes strode over from afar as a demonic presence churned around them.

Although they seemed like they were just strolling about leisurely, they could easily cross hundreds or even thousands of meters with each step. It was like the distance was nothing more than a few inches.

They were still several kilometers away when they began talking, and it had taken them less than five seconds to finish their words. However, in just that short period of time, they had crossed the distance and appeared before general Liu Shan.

“You must have heard about the matter regarding Godking Duanmu’s successor. Just then, protector Zeng personally came to ask about it in the form of a soul projection. As a result, the commander has ordered us to go to the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian to capture Ling Hougong. You two come with me,” Liu Shan said to the two. Not only were these two his deputies, but they were also his brothers that had gone through thick and thin with him.

“Protector Zeng personally asked for this? Why do I remember that our commander has always been on bad terms with protector Zeng? Why would he listen to him?” One of the deputies asked in confusion after hearing Liu Shan’s words.

Liu Shan became stern and growled, “Vice-leader Huai is about to emerge from seclusion!”

The expressions of the two deputies changed when they heard that. They could not help but become polite and show respect.

“We should not tarry then. General Liu, let’s set off as soon as possible. Though this Ling Hougong sure has some prestige. He could raise the attention of protector Zeng and even get our commander to order us personally to capture him.”

“Hehe. Now that we three Overgods are moving out personally, Ling Hougong shouldn’t be able to complain about dying in vain…”

The two deputies sneered as a vicious light shone in their eyes.

…

On the roads that extended in all directions outside the majestic royal capital of the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian, many cultivators gathered daily. Merchants flowed in and out of the huge city gates.

From time to time, there would even be luxurious carriages pulled by rare, invaluable beasts that slowly made their way towards the royal capital.

Without a doubt, the people within those carriages were people with quite some power.

However, regardless of the greatness of their backgrounds, flying was forbidden when entering the royal capital. Even the organisations with Overgods were affected.

This was all due to their respect towards the royal capital. Only Godkings could ignore the rules and directly fly into the city.

“Hold onto it. That is your pass into the city. Remember, you have to pay ten low grade divine crystals for every day you spend within the royal capital. Otherwise, the guards of the city will take you away,” a guard explained to Jian Chen outside the city gates as he handed a medallion to Jian Chen.
