Jianchen, Chang Wuji, Changyang Zu Yunxiao, Changyang Zu Yunkong, Changyang Zu Yeyun, Changyang Zu Xiao, and a few other Saint Rulers from the protector clans gathered together. They mainly discussed what had happened in the protector clans and how they would develop in the future.
Changyang Zu Yunkong was the most furious out of all of them. He indignantly declared that he would completely break away from the protector clans and that Changyang Prefecture would become independent. He would no longer have anything to do with the protector clans.
Changyang Zu Xiao had brought a group of people from the Zu branch to Lore City. Their actions had already explained everything. They just lacked an official announcement.
The atmosphere in the hall became stifling. Changyang Zu Xiao and the others all felt extremely heavy inside. None of them said anything at that moment.
A while later, Changyang Zu Xiao finally made up his mind. He said through gritted teeth, "I now declare that I, Changyang Zu Xiao, will break away from the protector clan of Changyang Prefecture. I will no longer have anything to do with the protector clan of Changyang Prefecture."
"I declare that I, Changyang Zu Yunxiao, will also break away from the protector clan of Changyang Prefecture …" Changyang Zu Yunxiao was the second to declare his position.
"I, Changyang Zu Yeyun, will also break away from Changyang Prefecture …"
The people of the Zu branch all declared their departure from Changyang Prefecture. In reality, they had already made preparations for this ever since they had come to Lore City with Changyang Zu Xiao.
Only a small portion of the people from the Zu branch had left Changyang Prefecture this time. Most of the people from the Zu branch had chosen to remain in the protector clan, but the people who had left the protector clan were the most powerful.
They were the most powerful force in the Zu branch.
After the meeting, Jianchen went to visit his parents first. He chatted with them for a while before visiting his three aunts.
The first aunt, Ling Long, and the second aunt, Yu Fengyan, were not in a very good mental state. Their children had already been gone for many years without any news, so they missed them very much.
Yu Fengyan was still fine. Although she had not seen her daughter for many years, she knew in her heart that her daughter had become the Saintess of a powerful force. She was more or less gratified.
However, Ling Long spent her days in fear. The words of the Pavilion Master of the Pure Heart Pavilion were still deeply engraved in her mind. Although Changyang Hu had become a disciple of the Pure Heart Pavilion and was highly regarded by the Pavilion Master, she couldn't feel the slightest bit of happiness in her heart. She was extremely afraid that Changyang Hu would abandon his family and friends and forget about her, his mother.
Jianchen's aunt, Bai Yushuang, had lived a very satisfied life in the past few years. Her son, Changyang Ke, had undergone a complete transformation with Jianchen's assistance. Although he was nowhere close to Jianchen's level, his cultivation speed had increased drastically, and he had become an Earth Saint Master half a month ago.
Changyang Ke had held a wedding several years ago. His wife was a princess of the Kingdom of Gesun, and the king of the Kingdom of Gesun had personally come to propose the marriage.
Afterward, Jianchen left Changyang Prefecture with You Yue, strolling through Lore City on foot.
"Jianchen, where are we going?" You Yue hugged one of Jianchen's arms as she looked at Jianchen affectionately. Her eyes were filled with gentleness.
"You'll know very soon," Jianchen faintly smiled.
Very soon, Jianchen and You Yue arrived at the center of Lore City. This was also the most bustling area of the city.
Before Jianchen was a four-story restaurant. It was extremely luxurious and extravagant. In the eyes of outsiders, it was definitely a restaurant that only the rich could enter, but the situation was the exact opposite. Not only were there merchants and young masters in luxurious robes, but there were also careless mercenaries as well.
"Yue 'er, let's go in. It's been so long, so it's about time for me to visit aunty," Jianchen gently said before entering the restaurant with You Yue.
Even though it was not meal time yet, there were many people in the restaurant. The first floor was almost full, and the loud noise was like thunder, deafening people.
The level of consumption in this restaurant was clearly segregated. The majority of people sitting on the first floor were mercenaries who spent all day fighting with magical beasts and enemies. Naturally, their bodies emitted a valiant aura. Only a small number of merchants dined here.
As for those wealthy merchants and young masters wearing luxurious robes, they all went to the second floor of the restaurant and did not stay on the first floor.
The restaurant was a place where conflicts happened the most. Often, there would be some hot-tempered mercenaries who would get drunk and go crazy. They would fight in the restaurant, and in the end, bloodshed would occur.
Not long after Jianchen and You Yue entered the restaurant, two groups of mercenaries started arguing.
"Damn it, can't you guys be a little quieter? It's so noisy that your grandpa doesn't even have the mood to drink." A tall and sturdy mercenary with a head of fiery red hair smashed the wine jar in his hand heavily on the table and shouted at the mercenaries at the table next to him.
The originally noisy restaurant immediately quieted down. Everyone's gaze was focused on the mercenary with fiery red hair.
The table that was yelled at by the red-haired mercenary also quieted down. There were a total of four people at the table, and all of them were drunk. Their faces were red, but each of them was emitting an unusually fierce aura.
This was something that only people who had experienced slaughter would possess. The four of them had clearly been baptized in blood as well, and were ruthless characters who often wandered through slaughter and battle.
Bang! One of the four viciously slammed the table, shattering it with great force. He glared at the mercenary and said coldly, "How dare you speak to us, the four brothers of the Exploding Bear Clan, like that? You must be tired of living."
"How dare you speak to us, the four brothers of the Exploding Bear Clan. This person cannot be forgiven. Take his life as an apology to us." Another one of the four brothers called out sternly. He had a fiery temper as well, and his Saint Weapon had already condensed in his hand. It was a huge axe.
The mercenary sneered, "How dare you speak such arrogant words? You really don't know how to write the word 'death'." As he said that, the mercenary clenched his hand and surging fire-attributed Saint Force immediately surged out. It quickly condensed into a huge, fire-red sword in his hand.
"An Earth Saint Master!"
"It's actually the most powerful element out of the six, fire-attributed Saint Force!"
A deep cry immediately rang out in the restaurant. An Earth Saint Master could already be regarded as a rare expert in Lore City.
The mercenary and the four brothers of the Exploding Bear Clan were already on the verge of a battle.
At this moment, a middle-aged man who seemed to be a merchant stood up. He clasped his hands at them with a smile and said, "Everyone, you must not be from the Kingdom of Gesun. I am Fang Yinhua, so let me give you a piece of advice. You've come to the wrong place to fight. Do not cause trouble in this restaurant, or you'll be in trouble even if you're Heaven Saint Masters."
Whether it was the mercenary or the four brothers of the Exploding Bear Clan, their faces all changed. Heaven Saint Masters were peak experts in their eyes. Even with the entire Kingdom of Gesun in perspective, there were only around a dozen of them.
Of course, this was excluding the hidden strength of the Changyang Prefecture.
The red-haired mercenary calmed down very quickly after his surprise. He did not believe Fang Yan Hua's words and sneered, "Even Heaven Saint Masters are in trouble. Is the owner of this restaurant a hermit Saint Ruler?"
Fang Yinhua knew that the mercenary would react like this. He faintly smiled, "That's not the case, but it's close because this restaurant is under the protection of the Changyang Prefecture. The Changyang Prefecture has Saint Rulers."
"Hmph, do you think I'll believe that a mere restaurant can be protected by the great Changyang Prefecture? If that's the case, you're better off tricking three-year-old children," the four brothers sneered. They did not believe Fang Yinhua at all.
Fang Yinhua glanced at them in pity before sitting back down. He no longer paid any attention to them.
The temperature in the restaurant suddenly skyrocketed. The sword in the mercenary's hand glowed with a red light as he pointed it at the four brothers.
The four brothers did not back down. They all drew their Saint Weapons. The four of them were Earth Saint Masters as well, but they were not as strong as the mercenary individually. As a result, they could only work together.
At this moment, a group of people in black robes silently walked in. There were a total of twelve of them, and all of them were emotionless. The leading middle-aged man was a Heaven Saint Master.
Quite a few people in the restaurant immediately cast gazes of admiration and respect at the sight of the group. They were the enforcers of the Changyang Prefecture, and even the weakest of them was an Earth Saint Master. The seemingly ordinary black robes had become a symbol of strength, status, and glory in their eyes.
"Take away all those who dare to cause trouble here!" The middle-aged man in the lead coldly stared at the four Exploding Bear Brothers and the red-haired mercenary. Just a single glance was enough to make the red-haired mercenary and the four Exploding Bear Brothers tremble and lose all will to fight.
"A Heaven Saint Master!" The mercenary and the four brothers even wanted to die. They had never thought that they would actually provoke experts, and they would come so quickly. Was this restaurant really a place protected by the Changyang Prefecture?
They did not even have the thought of resisting against a Heaven Saint Master. The mercenary and the four brothers were all taken away by the enforcers of the Changyang Prefecture.
"Everyone, please continue eating. I am the captain of the enforcers, Jiang Cheng. Please forgive me if I have offended you." Jiang Cheng did not put on any airs of a Heaven Saint Master. He seemed very approachable. It was not that he did not have any pride, but that pride could only be seen outside. In this restaurant, even he had to lower himself because he knew just how close the restaurant's owner was to the Changyang Prefecture. As a result, he did not even want to offend the customers in the restaurant.
At this moment, Jiang Cheng's expression suddenly froze. He stared blankly at Jianchen and You Yue who were about to go up to the second floor. His face was filled with disbelief, but it soon turned into ecstasy and excitement. There was also unconcealable admiration and respect.
Jiang Cheng quickly walked over and suddenly knelt down in front of everyone. He said with a trembling voice, "Jiang Cheng of the enforcers of the Changyang Prefecture greets the fourth young master and the princess!"
Jianchen smiled. He waved his hand and an invisible force lifted Jiang Cheng up. He said, "Fifth Cycle Heaven Saint Master. Not bad. Jiang Cheng, guard this restaurant well. You can become a Saint Master within a hundred years."
Jiang Cheng was overjoyed. He said excitedly, "Don't worry, fourth young master. I will use my life to protect this restaurant. As long as I am alive, I will not allow anyone to cause trouble here."
Jianchen nodded and then went up to the second floor with You Yue. A moment later, the first floor of the restaurant exploded with noise.
"Fourth young master? Was that young man just now the fourth young master of the Changyang Prefecture? "
"He is the Imperial Protector of the Kingdom of Gesun. He is a genius of the Tian Yuan Continent. He has already become a Saint Ruler at such a young age …"
"I'm afraid it's more than that. I heard that the fourth young master of the Changyang Prefecture is already a Holy Emperor …"
"I never thought that I would actually meet the elusive fourth young master …"
