"Young miss, you've guessed correctly. This is the patriarch of the Tian Yuan clan from the Dong 'an province," said commander Peng. As soon as he thought about how the young miss had spoken to him eagerly before she had even understood his identity, commander Peng smiled bitterly inside.
The young miss was usually quite smart, so why had she suddenly become so careless? Did she not realise from the reactions and actions of the Royal Divine Army that he had not come to capture someone?
Xuan Rourou immediately became stunned after confirming Jianchen's identity. She stared at Jianchen's young, masculine face blankly as disbelief filled her face.
She had already guessed that Jianchen's background was definitely extraordinary. It was extremely likely that he came from an organisation with an Overgod. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to have so many divine crystals to buy a high quality saint artifact.
However, she had never thought that the person who had asked to buy a supreme quality saint artifact right from the start in the True Sword Pavilion and had even been misunderstood as just trying to attract her attention would actually be the legendary Jianchen from the Tianyuan family who had caused quite a stir in the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian.
For a moment, Xuan Rourou felt rather disbelief over the sudden change in identity.
The mouths of the guards beside Xuan Rourou hung agape as disbelief flooded their faces.
Just like how Xuan Rourou and the others were shocked, the captain felt like he had fallen from the mortal world to hell. Not only did his entire body tremble violently, but even his legs trembled. "It's over.
It's over. It's over. How can this person be from the Tianyuan family? Yang Tie, oh Yang Tie. Of all the people you could have provoked, you just had to provoke the patriarch of the Tian Yuan clan. You've done me in, "the captain wailed inside as his face paled.
Although he was the captain of the royal capital's guards, the royal capital was so large that there were naturally many guards. Who knew how many captains there were like him in the royal capital. Although he had an official background, his status was not particularly great. Once someone like him offended an Overgod, no one would be able to protect him.
Even if he had the backing of a Lord-Level force, very few Lord-Gods would speak up for him.
After all, purposefully provoking an Overgod and having the Overgod purposefully make things difficult for you were two completely different matters.
Suddenly, the guard captain dropped to his knees and kowtowed to Jianchen. His forehead collided with the floor, producing thumping sounds. He did not use origin energy to protect himself, so in just a few kowtows, his forehead was already dripping with blood.
"Lord Patriarch, it's my fault. I didn't know that Lord Patriarch would personally come to the Imperial City …" The guard captain's attitude immediately changed. He kept kowtowing and begging for forgiveness with a face full of regret.
Even with the entire Divine Kingdom of Pingtian in perspective, there were only around a dozen Overgods. Every single one of them possessed an important status in the kingdom, so he understood just how severe the consequences of offending an expert like that would be.
Although he was related to the Yang family and had married a cousin of Yang Tie's, his wife did not have any status in the Yang family either. The Yang family would never speak up for him.
Ten-thousand-man commander Peng stared at the guard captain coldly. He showed no sympathy at all. He looked at Jianchen and asked, "Patriarch, may I ask how we should deal with this person?"
Jianchen waved his hand. He stared at the guard captain whose forehead had been reduced to a bloody mess and sighed gently, "You can go. However, as the guard captain, I hope you can carry out your duties seriously in the future. Do not use your position for personal gain."
The guard captain felt like he had been pardoned. After expressing his gratitude, he left as if he was fleeing for his life.
"Patriarch, the commander has invited the patriarch to the general's estate. May I ask if the patriarch …" Ten-thousand-man commander Peng clasped his hands.
"I just happen to want to visit commander Xuan at the general's estate as well, but it's just too eye-catching to be with your Royal Divine Army. You can go back first. I'll go to the general's estate afterwards," said Jianchen.
"Yes sir," Ten-thousand-man commander Peng clasped his fist at Jianchen before leaving with the two thousand-man commanders.
With Ten-thousand-man commander Peng's departure, Xuan Rourou naturally would not remain in the room as a woman. She immediately bid farewell to Jianchen extremely politely and left.
In the blink of an eye, Jianchen's room became empty once again. Only some bloodstains remained on the ground as evidence of what had happened earlier.
Jianchen glanced at the puddle of blood on the ground and sighed gently, "I never thought that something like this would happen under the emperor's rule. It looks like the royal capital isn't as perfect as I imagined it to be. The rules of the royal capital can restrict regular cultivators, but they can't restrict the people from large clans and organisations."
With that, Jian Chen leapt out of the window as well. He turned into a faint blur as he shot off into the distance. His movements were as swift as the wind and as fast as lightning. None of the cultivators on the streets below sensed him at all.
There were a total of five general's estates in the royal capital of the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian. They were located in the north, south, east, west, and centre of the royal capital. The four general's estates were the generals who guarded the borders of the divine kingdom. They spent most of their time there and rarely returned to the royal capital.
The central general's estate was the residence of the commander of the Royal Divine Army, Xuan Dou.
Not only was Xuan Dou a late Overgod, but he was also the commander of the Royal Divine Army. He controlled the most powerful army in the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian. In terms of status, he definitely stood above everyone else in the divine kingdom.
However, Xuan Dou always kept a low profile and rarely showed off. As a result, his reputation in the divine kingdom paled in comparison to the Yang family.
After leaving the inn, Jianchen directly made his way to the general's estate. Even though the royal capital was extremely large, he only used a short while to arrive at the entrance with his speed.
"Hahaha, brother Jianchen, you've finally come. Looks like my estate is a little too small. I've waited for you for several decades, and you've finally come," at this moment, Xuan Dou emerged from the estate in simple clothes and chuckled aloud.
"I wanted to visit commander Xuan a long time ago, but I've always been in seclusion, so I've only just emerged," Jianchen clasped his hands at Xuan Dou before being invited into the estate warmly by Xuan Dou.
Jianchen and Xuan Dou conversed freely in a guest room of the estate. They talked about everything from cultivation to what they had learned from cultivation to all sorts of interesting matters in the Saints' World. Only after over twenty hours did they show signs of stopping for a breather.
"Oh right, commander Xuan, I have something to ask," Jianchen suddenly became serious and said to Xuan Dou.
"What is it, brother Jianchen? Just tell me. There's no need to talk about asking," Xuan Dou said generously.
