The Imperial Protector immediately rejoiced when he heard Luo Duo's words. He hurriedly clasped his hands and said, "Luo Duo, Imperial Protector, since the Bloodsword sect has nothing to fear, we might as well go all the way. We'll directly uproot the Bloodsword sect and take revenge for the thousand-year enmity."
A cold light immediately flickered through Luo Duo's eyes. He lowered his head in thought and said, "Right now, the sect master of the Bloodsword sect, Houston, is still alive. We can't force them into a dead end, or we'll probably be met with a full-force counterattack from Houston. If a Great Perfection Holy Emperor decides to throw away his life to take revenge on us, it'll be a devastating disaster for our Felicity Empire. However, it's still possible to kill the Saint Rulers of the Bloodsword sect that have invaded the Kingdom of Longqi. "
Luo Duo's presence suddenly changed. He suddenly turned around and stared at the respectful Imperial Protector of the Kingdom of Longqi with shining eyes. He said, "Immediately return to the Kingdom of Longqi and closely monitor the movements of the experts of the Bloodsword sect. Just in case, I need to see the other Imperial Protector in the imperial palace before I deal with the Bloodsword sect."
"Yes, sir!"
The Imperial Protector of the Kingdom of Longqi immediately returned through a Space Gate in the imperial palace. Luo Duo did not stop at all. He immediately made his way to the forbidden grounds of the imperial palace. A heavy killing intent flickered through his eyes from time to time, "Brother, you died to the hands of the experts of the Bloodsword sect over a thousand years ago. I didn't have the power to take revenge for you back then, but the opportunity has come. I can guarantee you that once the sect master of the Bloodsword sect, Houston, dies, I'll immediately use the power of the Felicity Empire to uproot the Bloodsword sect and take revenge for you."
Back then, when Lodo broke through to the Holy Emperor realm, he could have stayed in the Longqi Kingdom and increased the status of the Longqi Kingdom. However, he didn't hesitate and came to the Felicity Empire to become the Imperial Protector. The main reason was because of the Bloodsword Sect. He had always wanted to use the power of the Felicity Empire to eliminate the Bloodsword Sect.
In the imperial city of the Long Qi Kingdom, the Imperial Protector who had returned from Felicity brought back Luo Duo's orders. As a result, the four of them did not continue to make trouble for the four protectors of the Bloodsword Sect. Instead, they stayed in the imperial palace and carefully sensed the auras of the four protectors, paying attention to their movements at all times.
However, the four of them didn't notice that two uninvited guests had appeared in the Longqi Kingdom's imperial palace. They were quietly hiding in a remote area.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye. These two days were very peaceful. The imperial city of the Long Qi Kingdom was still operating as usual. The bustling streets were bustling with people coming and going all day long. It was a hubbub of voices. It was very lively.
At this moment, several sounds of breaking through the air suddenly rang out. Several silhouettes were rapidly approaching the imperial city of the Long Qi Kingdom. Their speed was extremely fast. A moment ago, they were still far away in the horizon, but in the next second, they were already floating in the air above the imperial city.
"They're in the city." An extremely handsome young man who seemed to be in his twenties stood at the very front of the group. He held a blood-red token in his hand as he indifferently spoke. His eyes were as sharp as unsheathed swords as he slowly scanned the city below him.
These people were Jianchen, Ruijin, Black Fish, and Honglian. After a few days of travelling, the four of them had basically traversed half of the Tian Yuan Continent. They had followed the directions of the token to find this place.
Although they had all travelled through the air, the other three had all reached the Great Perfection of the Holy Emperor aside from Jianchen. Their comprehension of the mysteries of space had reached the apex. With their ability to control space, they were nowhere near as fast as Space Gates, but they were still unbelievably fast.
As a result, Jianchen crossed the distance in an extremely short amount of time with Ruijin leading the way, arriving here from Mercenary City.
Just as Jianchen's group arrived above the city, the four protectors of the Bloodsword sect opened their eyes at the same time. One of them said with a deep voice, "I can sense the presence of the token. The new sect master has arrived. The three of you, come with me to receive him."
Four red blurs flashed by, and the four protectors all flew out of the window. They appeared in the sky like ghosts and just happened to stand before Jianchen.
The four of them first looked at the token in Jianchen's hand before slowly shifting their gazes to Jianchen. When they saw Jianchen's appearance, they became stunned. Even their eyes became rather stunned. Disbelief flooded their faces.
The four of them had never thought that the new sect master would not be one of the founding members of the sect, but the young Jianchen.
Jianchen remained the same as before. He glanced past the four protectors before clasping his hands at them, "I am Jianchen. Greetings, protectors!"
Jianchen still felt gratitude towards the four protectors of the Bloodsword sect. He would never forget that when Changyang Prefecture was in trouble a few years ago, it was because of the timely arrival of the four protectors that prevented Changyang Prefecture from suffering too much damage. Otherwise, the entire Changyang Prefecture would have been razed to the ground by Old Man Situ and the others. At that time, the people who would be injured would not be limited to just Changyang Ba and Bi Yuntian.
The four protectors returned to their senses very quickly. Seeing how the new sect master was actually so courteous to them, they immediately felt flattered. Without any hesitation, the four of them dropped to one knee in the air and called out, "The four protectors of the Bloodsword sect greet the sect master!"
"What, sect master?" Jianchen became stunned when he heard how the four protectors had addressed him, but he understood very quickly. There was probably a rule in the Bloodsword sect where seeing the token was the same as seeing the sect master. Since he was holding the token of the sect, the four protectors naturally mistook him as the sect master.
"Please don't misunderstand, protectors. I, Jianchen, am not the sect master of the Bloodsword sect. Uncle Xiu only lent me this token so that I could use it to find the four of you." Jianchen hurriedly explained, but he muttered inside, "So Houston is uncle Xiu's real name. The reason why his surname changed is probably because he retreated to the continent a thousand years ago. After all, what happened a thousand years ago was just too great of a blow to uncle Xiu."
The four protectors of the Bloodsword sect still did not stand up. One of them lowered his head and said, "Sect master, the old sect master used a secret technique to notify us a few days ago. He told us that he had already passed on his position. In the future, the person who comes to us with the command arrow will be the new sect master of the Bloodsword sect. Everyone in the Bloodsword sect must obey the new sect master."
"What did you say? Uncle Xiu has already passed on the position of sect master?" This time, it was Jianchen's turn to be surprised. No matter how muddle-headed Jianchen was, he understood that uncle Xiu had already passed on the position of sect master to him since the four protectors had spoken so clearly.
However, the news had come just too suddenly, so Jianchen struggled to accept it. He had never thought that his status would undergo a drastic change the moment he received the token from uncle Xiu. He had become the sect master of the Bloodsword sect for no reason.
The Bloodsword sect was one of the three great assassin organizations renowned across the Tian Yuan Continent. They could not be underestimated. Although they were nowhere close to the protector clans, they were no weaker than ancient clans.
"The four protectors have been ordered by the old sect master to await the sect master's arrival. At the same time, we are to keep an eye on the two human traitors. We await the sect master's instructions on what we should do next," the four protectors said together as if they could read each other's minds.
Jianchen sank into his thoughts. Now that the people who had killed his parents were here, he was in no mood to dwell on the matter of the sect master. He immediately put it aside for now and said, "May I ask where the two human traitors are right now? Have you not killed them after chasing them for so many years?"
"Sect master, the two of them are in the imperial palace. Due to the old sect master's orders a few years ago, we did not kill or capture the two traitors. As a result, the two of them are still alive, "said a protector.
"I see." Jianchen came to a realization. He then looked at the majestic imperial palace in the distance and said, "Let's go. Let's go to the imperial palace." With that, Jianchen flew toward the imperial palace first. Ruijin, Hei Yu, and Hei Yu followed closely behind Jianchen. The four protectors walked side by side at the back.
The group arrived outside the imperial palace of the Long Qi Kingdom very quickly. Afterwards, they swaggered into the palace from above. Only when they arrived at the center of the palace did they stop. They hovered several hundred meters in the air and looked down at the resplendent palaces below.
"Bloodsword sect, you've gone too far. How dare you step on the Heaven's Gate of the imperial palace of our Longqi Kingdom? Do you really think there's no one in our kingdom?" A furious roar rang out from below. Although the voice was old, it was filled with energy. The tremendous voice echoed through the surroundings, scattering the clouds above.
With that, four ruddy old men flew out from the imperial palace. They charged into the sky with tremendous presences and faced Jianchen's group from a hundred meters away.
