Chu Wuming's tone was extremely firm, and he didn't seem like he was joking at all. Wu Yun didn't doubt in the slightest that if Wu De was really unable to fulfill Xiao Chen's request, then he would definitely die.
Wu Yun hurriedly bowed and replied with a respectful tone. "Don't worry, Your Highness. The matter has been dealt with. Wu De and I have even paid a personal visit to that old man in the Unsullied Residence. Moreover, we've obtained his forgiveness and compensation."
Chu Wuming's expression eased up slightly when he heard Wu Yun's reply, and he nodded lightly. "That's good. However, I'll make it clear first. If Brother Xiao Chen is displeased, then I can take Wu De's head at any time."
He could be considered to have fulfilled Xiao Chen's request, but everything still depended on Xiao Chen. If Xiao Chen was still dissatisfied, then Wu De would still have to die.
Wu Yun nodded and replied when she heard Chu Wuming. However, she was slightly puzzled in her heart. Why did Chu Wuming treat Wu De so generously and even curry favor with Xiao Chen after making a trip to the Heavenly Stellar Residence? This question had been in Wu Yun's heart for a few days now.
Of course, this was also because Chu Wuming hadn't told Wu Yun about the Heaven Burn Ruler. Otherwise, she would definitely understand all of this. It went without saying how important a Dao Emperor Realm expert was to Chu Wuming.
Wu Yun obediently accompanied Chu Wuming as the two of them walked towards the backyard. Perhaps it was because he felt that he'd been too fierce to Wu Yun recently, but Chu Wuming still spoke indifferently as they walked. "Xiao Chen and the Heavenly Stellar Residence that stands behind him are existences that absolutely can't be offended. You might not know, but Xiao Chen's uncle is a Dao Emperor Realm expert. Whether I'll be able to ascend to the position of Crown Prince this time depends entirely on Xiao Chen and his uncle."
He told Wu Yun about the Heavenly Stellar Residence, and Wu Yun was stunned when she heard this. She'd never imagined that there would actually be a Dao Emperor Realm expert in the Heavenly Stellar Residence. At this moment, Wu Yun finally understood why Chu Wuming would curry favor with Xiao Chen.
They had already decided on a time to head to the imperial capital. Early the next morning, Chu Wuming personally led a group of people to the Heavenly Stellar Residence to welcome the Burning Sky Ruler.
Just as the Burning Sky Ruler, Xiao Chen, and Zhang Qi were about to step onto the carriage and leave, the old man that Xiao Chen had saved hurriedly walked out of the courtyard. He knelt in front of Xiao Chen and said with tears of gratitude, "This old servant thanks young master for saving my life."
Ever since he was saved by Xiao Chen, the old man had always remained in the Heavenly Stellar Residence. At this moment, when he saw that Xiao Chen was about to leave, he naturally couldn't care about anything else. He immediately knelt in front of Xiao Chen and thanked him.
Xiao Chen personally helped the old man up. Originally, Xiao Chen planned to let the old man leave after he recovered from his injuries. However, the old man was all alone now. Coupled with the fact that he was unwilling to leave the Heavenly Stellar Residence for the sake of repaying Xiao Chen's kindness, he was willing to be at Xiao Chen's beck and call. Xiao Chen was helpless in this regard. In the end, he could only give the old man the job of housekeeper.
However, the old man just so happened to be a great help to Xiao Chen. Everyone would be heading to the imperial capital in the future. As such, the Heavenly Stellar Residence in Moon Trace City would be empty. With the old man taking care of things here, it would save Xiao Chen a lot of trouble. Furthermore, Xiao Chen trusted the old man quite a bit. Therefore, Xiao Chen was very reassured to let him guard the Untainted Residence in Moon Trace City.
After comforting the old man, Xiao Chen accompanied the Burning Sky Ruler onto the carriage. Throughout the entire process, Xiao Chen didn't ask a single question about Wu De. In Xiao Chen's opinion, Wu De definitely didn't have the courage to deceive him. Furthermore, the old man had already told him about Wu De coming to find him. Even the old man had forgiven Wu De, so the others would definitely do the same.
Since Wu De had already fulfilled his request, Xiao Chen clearly couldn't be bothered to lower himself to Wu De's level.
They directly set off for the imperial capital. Xiao Chen, the Burning Sky Ruler, Chu Wuming, and Wu Yun sat in the carriage. As for Du Chengfeng and Zhang Qi, they rode on Dragon Horses.
Everyone left Moon Trace City. Of course, the journey from Moon Trace City to the imperial capital was very long. Naturally, they couldn't ride a carriage all the way. Instead, they used a teleportation array.
In the Tianhe Continent, teleportation arrays were extremely common. Almost all the larger cities had teleportation arrays. In the Moonless Empire, there were a total of thirty-two cities with teleportation arrays. In Blackmountain City, which was less than a day's journey from Moon Trace City, there was a teleportation array. Everyone rode a carriage to Blackmountain City, and then used the teleportation array to go to the imperial capital. In this way, they only needed a day to reach the imperial capital.
It had to be said that in many aspects, the Tianhe Continent was much more advanced than the Heavenly Chen Continent. Take teleportation arrays for example. The Tianhe Continent was much more advanced than the Heavenly Chen Continent. Because of the existence of teleportation arrays, the entire Tianhe Continent had built a huge teleportation network. Thus, it was much easier for cultivators to travel. At the same time, because of the teleportation arrays, the major forces of the Tianhe Continent didn't need to tame those flying demonic beasts. Compared to flying demonic beasts, teleportation arrays were much more convenient and faster.
In the Tianhe Continent, there were very few forces that used flying demonic beasts. In one day, everyone rushed from Moon Trace City to Blackmountain City.
Because of Chu Wuming's lead, everyone naturally had a smooth journey. The Blackmountain City Lord personally welcomed them and accompanied them all the way to the teleportation array.
Naturally, it couldn't be compared to the teleportation array that Xiao Sheng had built. The teleportation array in Blackmountain City was a short-distance teleportation array. There was only a single array pattern that emitted a faint light. With the activation of the array, it could open up a spatial passage to the imperial capital. This way, people could be sent to the imperial capital.
"Senior Burning Heaven, please …" Respectfully, he made a gesture to the Burning Heaven Ruler, indicating that he should first step onto the teleportation array.
Seeing that Chu Wuming was actually so respectful to the Burning Heaven Ruler, the Blackmountain City Lord to the side also looked at the Burning Heaven Ruler in surprise.
Without any formalities with Chu Wuming, the Burning Heaven Ruler took the lead and stepped onto the teleportation array. Behind him, Chu Wuming and Xiao Chen followed closely. After the three of them stepped onto the teleportation array, the rest of Zhang Qi, Du Chengfeng, Wu Yun, as well as a group of imperial guards, horses, and carriages, entered the teleportation array one after another.
The teleportation array was very large. There was no problem in teleporting over a thousand people at once. After everyone stepped onto the teleportation array, Chu Wuming shouted in a clear voice, "Activate the array."
Following Chu Wuming's shout, the array was activated. Immediately, everyone's figures were quickly enveloped by the white light emitted by the array. After a few breaths, the light disappeared, and the figures of Xiao Chen and the others also disappeared.
In just the blink of an eye, Xiao Chen and the others arrived at the imperial capital. Walking out of the teleportation array, they saw a bustling city. This city was more prosperous than any city that Xiao Chen had ever seen. The large cities in the Heavenly Chen Continent couldn't be compared to the imperial capital of the Moonless Empire.
