After the registration, Chu Kuangren left the military camp.
As for the Golden Mystic Great Emperor, he was registered as a prefecture soldier. With his strength as a Great Emperor, he would be very popular no matter where he went in the stronghold. In any orthodoxy, he would at least be a Deputy Commander.
However, he still chose to be a soldier in the General's residence, planning to slowly accumulate battle merits. Chu Kuangren did not ask much about it. Both of them arrived at the fortress at the same time and parted ways without saying anything.
After leaving the military camp, Chu Kuangren walked on the streets.
He suddenly took out a jade pendant and murmured, "I almost forgot about the jade pendant Qi Xing gave me. Perhaps I'll get something good out of it."
This jade pendant was given to him by Qi Xing.
He said that he was familiar with the General of the seventeenth fortress, so if he needed help, he could use this jade pendant to seek help.
Chu Kuangren did not need any help, but it was not impossible for him to pay a visit.
At that thought, he went to the General's residence. The General's residence was located in the center of the fortress, not far from the military camp. There were many soldiers guarding it, and each of them was the best of the best.
Upon seeing that Chu Kuangren had arrived, many pairs of eyes immediately fell on him and scanned him from head to toe.
Chu Kuangren answered honestly, "My name is Chu Kuangren. I'm here to pay a visit to the General. May I trouble you to inform him of my arrival?"
"Do you have an invitation?"
"No, but I have a jade pendant here. You'll understand when you see it." Chu Kuangren took out the jade pendant and said.
The soldier hesitated when he saw the jade pendant, but he still took it and said, "Please wait here."
"Alright."
The soldier took the jade pendant and entered the General's residence.
When he arrived at the main hall and was about to enter to report, he was stopped by two other soldiers. One of them said, "The General is currently discussing important matters with a few commanders. No one else is allowed to enter without permission."
When the soldier heard this, he waited at the side.
Inside the General's residence's main hall.
A middle-aged man in a black robe with his hair tied up was discussing with a few commanders about defending against the Blood Tribe. This person was the General of the seventeenth fortress, also known as … the Ghostly Blade Heavenly Honorable.
"The Chaos Spiritual Origin on the seventh asteroid is about to form, and the Blood Tribe seems to be on the move."
"Yes, we'll send someone to investigate."
"Recently, a small unit of the Blood Race attempted to cross the fortress, but they were intercepted and killed by us. They've been making frequent movements recently."
"Indeed, continue to strengthen the security …"
Inside the hall, Heavenly Venerate Ghost Blade discussed with the commanders for over an hour. Finally, when the commanders gradually left, the prefecture soldier who had been waiting outside walked in.
"General, there's someone outside who claims to be Chu Kuangren. He said that he's here to pay you a visit and that you'll understand once you see this item."
The soldier took out the jade pendant and said.
Heavenly Venerate Ghost Blade's pupils shrank the moment he saw the jade pendant. "How long has that person been waiting outside?"
"General, it's been about two hours."
"What? Damn it, why didn't you bring it in earlier?"
"But general, you're in the middle of a meeting with a few commanders. I don't dare to disturb you." The soldier wanted to cry, but had no tears.
Hearing this, General Ghost Blade calmed down. He quickly got up and walked out of the General's Mansion with a nervous expression.
When the commanders who had yet to leave saw this scene, they could not help but look at each other in shock.
"Who is it that the General is so cautious about?"
"Did he just say … Chu Kuangren? The Chu Kuangren who caused such a commotion in the Firmament Star that everyone knows about? "
"That can't be right. Even if it's that person, there's no need for the General to be so cautious. Could there be some other reason?"
"Is it that jade pendant?"
The few Chieftains were very curious, so they deliberately slowed down their footsteps as they wanted to meet the rumored Chu Kuangren.
Outside the General's Mansion, Chu Kuangren had been waiting outside for more than two hours.
He frowned slightly, feeling a little impatient.
"Could it be that the General doesn't want to see me? If he doesn't want to see me, then so be it. He should at least return the jade pendant to me, "Chu Kuangren muttered.
At that moment, Heavenly Venerate Ghost Blade quickly walked out of the General's Mansion and said, "Brother Chu, I'm really sorry. I was in the middle of a meeting with a few commanders, so I'm sorry for the delay."
He spoke sincerely with an apologetic look on his face.
Chu Kuangren did not want to lose his temper, so he calmed down and nodded slightly. "It's alright. If the General has other matters to attend to, I'll visit another day. I'll take my leave now."
"Please wait a moment, Brother Chu. Nothing is more important than you right now. Come, please come in," Heavenly Venerate Ghost Blade quickly said.
The soldiers at the side were all dumbfounded.
Heavenly Venerate Ghost Blade. Just by hearing that name, one could tell that he was not a good person. In fact, as a general who guarded an area, Heavenly Venerate Ghost Blade was extremely strict with his troops. He was usually serious and unapproachable. Yet now, he was so friendly towards a young man?
The soldiers were all stunned by what they saw.
Was this still the General they were familiar with?
"Then I shall accept your invitation."
Chu Kuangren pondered for a while before he followed him into the General's Mansion.
At the same time, he saw the few commanders of Fort No. 17. The bearded man that he met in the military camp was also among them.
"Brother Chu, we meet again."
The burly man laughed heartily.
"Yes."
Chu Kuangren nodded politely. Then, Heavenly Venerate Ghost Blade introduced the commanders of Fort No. 17 to him.
Chu Kuangren glanced at them and the Spirit of Omniscience began to analyze them.
'Holy sh * t.'
They were all Heavenly Venerates.
"Brother Chu, where did you get this jade pendant from?"
Heavenly Venerate Ghost Blade took out the jade pendant and asked cautiously.
"Elder Qi Xing gave it to me."
"He really is our benefactor. Where is our benefactor now?"
Heavenly Venerate Ghost Blade sighed before he asked.
"He's currently on Firmament Star, guarding the Deity Seal."
"I've long heard that the deities are getting restless. If it weren't for the Blood Tribe, I would've returned to Firmament Star to fight alongside our benefactor and annihilate them all." Heavenly Venerate Ghost Blade snorted.
Then, his expression changed. "If I remember correctly, our benefactor was severely injured during the battle against the Deities. Although many years have passed, his injuries are still terrifying. How is he now?"
"Based on Firmament Star's current situation, he should be able to handle it."
Heavenly Venerate Ghost Blade knew about Qi Xing's injuries.
That was an injury left behind by a deity. Even Heavenly Venerate Ghost Blade could not heal it. However, with Qi Xing's cultivation level, he could suppress it and heal it on his own.
Although the process was very slow.
Then, Chu Kuangren continued to chat with Heavenly Venerate Ghost Blade. From their conversation, he learned that Heavenly Venerate Ghost Blade had also participated in the battle against the Deities. However, he was not even an Emperor back then. He was just a small soldier.
He even almost died during a battle against the deities. It was all thanks to Qi Xing that he was able to survive until now.
That was why he remembered it until now. As for the jade pendant, it was always with Qi Xing, and it was tainted with his energy.
That was why he knew that Chu Kuangren was related to Qi Xing when he saw the jade pendant. Otherwise, Heavenly Venerate Ghost Blade would not have treated him so warmly.
