Jianchen had already left the inn. He was currently flying through the air, hurrying toward the imperial palace of the Qiangan Kingdom. He had no idea that his actions in the inn had already caused a lot of trouble for the innkeeper and her son.
Two hours later, Jianchen finally arrived above the imperial palace. He hovered five hundred meters in the air as he coldly stared down at the majestic halls below.
The Qiangan Kingdom had once enjoyed a glorious period of time. It was extremely powerful. Although it was nowhere near as powerful as the eight great kingdoms of the Tian Yuan Continent, it was still an existence that reigned supreme in the region. It possessed a great status and had the longest history among the surrounding kingdoms. It had existed for several thousand years, far longer than the Kingdom of Gesun which had only existed for a few hundred years.
However, the Qiangan Kingdom suffered a great calamity afterwards, almost being destroyed. Although they managed to survive, they had lost a great deal of territory and their strength had declined. They had never recovered since then, becoming a small, nameless kingdom. As a result, the imperial palace of the Qiangan Kingdom was extremely majestic. Although it could not be compared to the Qin Empire, it was still the most luxurious and majestic among the kingdoms in the region.
Jianchen hovered in the air as he stared down at the halls below. In the end, his gaze locked onto the largest hall in the center. He slowly opened his right hand and suddenly, the fire-attributed energy in the surroundings began to surge violently, gathering toward Jianchen as visible streaks of fire-red light. They quickly condensed into a twenty-meter-long sword of fire. The surging waves of heat seemed to set the surrounding space ablaze, causing the surrounding space to become faintly red. The temperature of the surroundings rapidly rose as well.
"There's someone in the air. It's a peak Heaven Saint Master."
"Oh no, he wants to attack the imperial palace. Go get the Imperial Protector." “
Go get the Imperial Protector to deal with him immediately. "
The numerous elite soldiers patrolling the palace noticed the abnormality in the air and their expressions changed drastically. Cries of alarm rang out incessantly. The numerous elite soldiers in the palace were in an uproar.
Jianchen gently waved his right hand and the sword of fire turned into a red streak of light. It shot toward the largest hall with lightning-like speed.
"Boom!"
Following a violent explosion, the flames engulfed the huge palace. The intense heat that was enough to melt steel directly melted a large part of the palace. Rolling heat waves spread out with the palace as the center, forcing the elite soldiers guarding the palace to continuously retreat, not daring to approach the palace at all.
Dong! Dong! Dong! * Dong! *
The dull sound of the bell echoed throughout the entire palace. This was the highest summons of the Qiangan Kingdom, and it had not been rung for a long time.
The quiet imperial palace immediately became lively. A large number of elite soldiers surged out of the various halls like a flood. They moved extremely quickly, but when they saw the figure in the air, they were all stunned. A Heaven Saint Master was not someone they could deal with.
Jianchen controlled the energy of the world with a thought and condensed it into a sword of fire again. He shot it toward the largest hall in an attempt to completely destroy it.
At this moment, a powerful sword Qi shot over from afar. It moved as fast as lightning, shattering Jianchen's sword of fire. The explosion caused waves of fire to cover the sky, dyeing it red. A few scattered sparks shot toward various parts of the imperial palace, leaving behind a meter-wide hole wherever they hit.
A white-robed old man with white hair and a ruddy complexion flew over from afar. He hovered five hundred meters in the air and stared at Jianchen from a hundred meters away. His face was filled with anger.
"Sir, who are you? Why have you destroyed the imperial palace of my Qiangan Kingdom?" The old man glared at Jianchen and asked with a deep voice.
"I'm from the Kingdom of Gesun. I've come to exterminate you." Jianchen replied emotionlessly. The old man was taken aback.
He said, "What did you say? You're from the Kingdom of Gesun? That's impossible. We know exactly how many experts there are in the Kingdom of Gesun. There's definitely no one like you. Who are you? There's no need to make up an excuse to fool me."
Jianchen sneered. He ignored the old man and looked into the depths of the imperial palace. He called out, "Qian Yun, get out here and accept your death." Jianchen's voice was thunderous, echoing through the surroundings. The same response was constantly repeated. Everyone in the imperial palace was alarmed. Their expressions changed drastically. Qian Yun was a member of the imperial family of the Qiangan Kingdom. He was an ancestor of the king. He had an extremely high status. No one had ever dared to call him by his real name.
In the depths of the Imperial Palace, in a luxurious hall, a white-robed old man with a transcendent air was sitting cross-legged on a bed. However, his left sleeve was empty, and there was no arm there at all. This was an old man with a broken arm. In front of him, three middle-aged men stood respectfully. At this moment, all of them had angry expressions on their faces.
"Sigh!" The old man sitting cross-legged on the bed sighed and muttered, "He still came in the end. It's all because of the Heaven Tier Battle Skill. If I hadn't interfered in this matter because of my greed, I'm afraid this matter could have been completely avoided."
"Teacher, is that person outside from the Kingdom of Gesun? Is he the one who severed your left arm? "One of the middle-aged men gritted his teeth. His eyes were filled with hatred and anger.
"Right now, the Kingdom of Gesun is facing the attack of the four-nation alliance. Instead of defending against the four-nation alliance, their experts have come to our Qiangan Kingdom to cause trouble. This is ridiculous. Does he really think that our Qiangan Kingdom has no experts?"
"Teacher, we must avenge our severed arm. We must tear that person to pieces to vent our anger."
The three middle-aged men spoke righteously one by one. Their expressions were extremely agitated.
The old man sighed and said, "Don't mention this matter again. That person is very strong. Back then, I joined forces with four experts from the Pingyang Kingdom but we couldn't hurt him at all. Instead, we were seriously injured by him. Our Qiangan Kingdom is no longer as strong as it used to be. We can't afford to provoke such a powerful enemy. You three stay here, teacher will be back soon." As soon as his voice fell, the old man, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, turned into a white afterimage and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"How is this possible? Even with teacher's strength and four experts working together, we couldn't harm him at all. Even if he's a Sixth Cycle Heaven Saint Master, he shouldn't be able to do this."
The three middle-aged men were stunned by the old man's words. Their faces were filled with disbelief.
Outside, Qian Yun, who was missing an arm, had already arrived in front of Jianchen. He stood side by side with the other Heaven Saint Master from the Qiangan Kingdom.
Jianchen stared at Qian Yun coldly, "Qian Yun, I thought you wouldn't dare to come out. That day, I said that I would let you witness the destruction of the Qiangan Kingdom with your own eyes."
Jianchen's words caused the two old men's expressions to change. The old man beside Qian Yun was filled with killing intent as he yelled, "Sir, do you think you're a Saint Ruler? How dare you boast like that? Be careful not to cut your tongue."
Qian Yun pulled the old man back and stopped him from speaking. He then said to Jianchen, "Sir, I've already said that my actions have nothing to do with the Qiangan Kingdom. If you have any problems, you can come at me. Don't involve others. Once the Qiangan Kingdom is involved in this war, I'm afraid it won't be a good situation for the Kingdom of Gesun."
Jian Chen sneered, "Hmph, what a good excuse of having nothing to do with the Qiangan Kingdom. You're lying with your eyes wide open. Then what about the experts from your Qiangan Kingdom joining forces with the Blue Wind Kingdom to attack the Gesun Kingdom's Eastern Fort? Could it be that those experts weren't from your Qiangan Kingdom?"
"That's impossible." Qian Yun's expression turned serious. He was about to quibble, but before he could say anything, the old man beside him pulled on his clothes and whispered, "Your left arm was cut off. In order to avenge you, His Majesty contacted a few forces in the Kingdom of Gesun and asked them to personally attack the Kingdom of Gesun."
"What? That actually happened?" Qian Yun's expression froze. Clearly, he didn't know that the Qiangan Kingdom had already sent experts to attack the Gesun Kingdom. However, his expression immediately turned angry as he shouted in a deep voice, "Nonsense! This is simply nonsense! Why didn't you discuss such a big matter with me beforehand?"
The old man beside Qian Yun sighed and said, "Although we sent experts to assist the Blue Wind Kingdom in attacking the Kingdom of Gesun, the result was very unsatisfactory. Three of our experts died, and we didn't even bring back their corpses. The remaining two were also heavily injured."
Hearing this, Qian Yun's expression became very ugly. This kind of loss was unbearable for the Qiangan Kingdom because every single Heaven Saint Master was a pillar of support for the kingdom. This was directly related to the status of the kingdom.
"Hmph, now you have nothing to say, right? You just want me to destroy the palace of your Qiangan Kingdom." Jianchen sneered. His eyes flashed with a strong killing intent. With a thought, the energy in a fifteen kilometer radius suddenly became violent. The fire elemental energy quickly gathered around Jianchen and formed three fire elemental swords. They seemed to be able to burn the air as they shot towards the palace below.
"Stop!" The two Heaven Saint Masters on the other side yelled out and struck out at the same time. They sent out three Sword Qi to block Jianchen's fire elemental swords. With a boom, the fire elemental swords condensed from the energy of the world immediately exploded. They turned into waves of fire that swept through the surroundings and dyed the sky red.
"Sir, this is a misunderstanding. Our Qiangan Kingdom will definitely not interfere with your battle. Please show mercy." Qian Yun said. He knew that Jianchen was very powerful. In order to protect the Qiangan Kingdom from being attacked, he had no choice but to lower his voice and beg for mercy.
"Don't even think about it!" Jianchen sneered. If it weren't for his strength, he probably would have been killed long ago. How could he be so easy to talk to?
"Since you've interfered, I'll kill you first." Jianchen growled. The origin energy of the Sword Spirits shot out from his right hand and condensed into a one-meter-long Sword Qi that did not disperse. It then quickly shot towards the two Heaven Saint Masters.
