Seeing this scene, Cheng Fei's originally confident expression changed. He suddenly had a thought that he did not even dare to think about. Cheng Fei quickly walked up to the two Grand Elders and nervously asked, "Grand Elders, what is the result?" Cheng Fei had already guessed the answer from the Grand Elders' expressions, but he did not dare to believe it.
One of the Grand Elders sighed and guiltily looked at Cheng Fei. After a long silence, he finally said, "Cheng Fei, from today onwards, you are no longer the sect master of the Huayun Sect." The Grand Elder's words were extremely heavy, and his face was filled with helplessness. The Huayun Sect had stood in the Kingdom of Gesun for several hundred years and was known as the number one sect in the Kingdom of Gesun. In the past, they were only slightly weaker than the imperial family, but now that they had three Heaven Saint Masters, they were even stronger than the imperial family. Yet, with such strength, they had actually been forced to resign in front of all the disciples of the Huayun Sect. To the Huayun Sect, this was definitely a humiliation that could never be washed away.
Ever since the Huayun Sect had been established, it had experienced countless storms. What kind of storms had it not seen before, but it had never been in such a miserable state like today, especially when the opponent was a young man in his twenties. This was something that no one in the Huayun Sect could accept.
Cheng Fei's face instantly paled, and he was completely dumbfounded. His face was filled with disbelief. Two Grand Elders and three Heaven Saint Masters had actually been defeated by the fourth young master of the Changyang Prefecture, Changyang Shōten!
"No … no … how is this possible? This is impossible!" Cheng Fei was at a loss. He truly found it difficult to accept this fact. This was because he knew that Changyang Shōten was even younger than his son, Cheng Mingxiang. Moreover, he had only condensed a Saint Weapon and become a Saint six years ago. But now, in just a few short years, this little Saint had leaped over the dragon gate and become a Heaven Saint Master. Moreover, he had defeated three Heaven Saint Masters without being injured at all. This was just too shocking. Cheng Fei even began to suspect that the Supreme Elder and Saiya's trio were acting together.
All of the Huayun Sect's disciples were stupefied. Many of their mouths were wide open as they stared at the main characters in disbelief. Even ordinary disciples like them were unable to accept this result.
"Alas!" One of the Grand Elders raised his head and sighed. His expression was dispirited, and he seemed to have aged greatly. He said in a low voice, "Changyang Shōten, you should be satisfied now, right? The matters of the past have been written off. I hope our Huayun Sect and Changyang Prefecture can still maintain the friendship of the past." After this battle, the two Supreme Elders had a clear understanding of Jianchen's strength. Jianchen's unprecedented talent and unparalleled battle prowess had already caused them to feel a deep sense of fear. In the future, they had every reason to believe that Jianchen would definitely be able to become a Saint Ruler.
Jianchen stood proudly with his arms crossed. He looked at the gloomy Saiya and said, "Supreme Elders, you seem to have forgotten one thing. There is still an arm that hasn't been removed."
The two Supreme Elders' expressions changed. Saiya was already a Heaven Saint Master, and this was an extremely important asset to the Huayun Sect. They definitely did not wish for Saiya to be injured in the slightest. If his right arm was cut off, Saiya's strength would be greatly reduced. Even if he was a Heaven Saint Master, he would still be an existence at the bottom, unable to use his full strength.
"Changyang Shōten, Changyang Prefecture and our Huayun Sect have already been friends for several hundred years. I hope you can be lenient. Although Saiya was in the wrong yesterday, it did not lead to a disaster. Please let him go." One of the Supreme Elders gave in and used a pleading tone. Jianchen was just too strong. The two of them had already lost their previous might.
"No!" Jianchen said without any hesitation. A cold light flickered in his eyes as he said, "You should rejoice that yesterday's matter did not lead to a disaster. Otherwise, even if your Huayun Sect was the founding hero of the Huayun Sect, I definitely would not have held back. I will definitely take Saiya's arm. If you don't do it, then I'll do it myself. At that time, it won't be so easy. I can't guarantee that I'll be able to keep his life."
The two Supreme Elders' expressions became extremely unsightly. They dilly-dallied for a long time, but still did not do it. They really could not bear to see the Huayun Sect lose a peak expert. As for Jianchen, he was also someone they did not dare to offend. They were afraid that they would vent their anger on Jianchen and cause the Huayun Sect to suffer even greater losses.
Suddenly, Saiya shouted, "Fine! Changyang Shōten, you want my right arm, right? I'll give it to you." As he said that, Saiya's left hand formed a palm. Saint Force surged out of his body, and he directly chopped at his right arm.
Pfft! Blood filled the air as Saiya's entire right arm was chopped off. The intense pain caused Saiya's facial muscles to twist. He resisted the urge to make the slightest sound.
"Changyang Shōten, is this enough?" Saiya's eyes were bloodshot as he glared at Jianchen with hatred.
A cold smile appeared on Jianchen's face. "Saiya, I won't ask about what happened in the past. But in the future, you'd best know your place. If you dare do anything harmful to my Changyang Prefecture, I'll make you regret it. I hope you won't implicate the Huayun Sect."
Saiya tightly clenched his teeth, not making a sound. He did not have the strength to speak. At this moment, Saiya suddenly felt that this scene was extremely similar to what had happened in Changyang Prefecture yesterday. He was the Jianchen in front of him, and the Huayun Sect disciples around him were the upper echelons of Changyang Prefecture as well as the guards.
If he hadn't gone overboard yesterday, perhaps he wouldn't have ended up like this today.
"Changyang Shōten, are you satisfied now?" asked the Grand Elder with a gloomy expression.
Jianchen smiled freely and cupped his hands. "Since this matter has been resolved, then I should leave. Goodbye."
Just as Jianchen finished speaking, a figure flew over from the distance, quickly landing in front of Jianchen. This person wore a set of blue robes. It was the housekeeper of Changyang Prefecture, Chang Wuji.
Chang Wuji was worried that Jianchen would cause too much of a ruckus, so he had hurriedly rushed over from Changyang Prefecture in an attempt to stop him. But when he saw the scene in front of him, he immediately relaxed. Although the Huayun Sect was in a sorry state, the result was still acceptable.
"Chang Bo, why have you come?" Jianchen looked at Chang Bo with a puzzled expression. He respected Chang Bo from the bottom of his heart.
Chang Wuji examined Jianchen. Seeing that Jianchen hadn't suffered any injuries, he couldn't help smiling. "Fourth young master, may I ask how the matter has been resolved?"
Jianchen told Chang Bo how the matter had been resolved. After hearing it, Chang Bo sighed, "It seems that this old servant has come for nothing. Fourth young master already knows how to act appropriately." Saying that, Chang Wuji glanced at Saiya, who had lost his right arm. A trace of schadenfreude appeared in his eyes.
The Huayun Sect had just recently gained a Heaven Saint Master, and all the disciples of the Huayun Sect were extremely proud of it. But now, only a few days had passed, and this Heaven Saint Master had died. This was not only a blow to the Huayun Sect, but also a humiliation.
Jianchen chuckled and said, "Chang Bo, if there's nothing else, let's go home."
Chang Wuji nodded and clasped his hands towards the two Huayun Sect Grand Elders. He smiled and said, "Tiancheng Saber, Tiancheng Jian, if you have time in the future, you're welcome to visit our Changyang Prefecture. Farewell!"
"We won't see you out!" The two Grand Elders' expressions were very ugly as they expressionlessly said.
Afterwards, Jianchen and Chang Wuji shot through the air, leaving behind the Huayun Sect's disciples who stood there in a daze. Today's matter had dealt a heavy blow to all of them. This was especially true for the disciples who were incomparably proud of the fact that their sect had gained three Heaven Saint Masters. This was an unacceptable reality.
Although the news of the Fourth Young Master of the Changyang Prefecture bravely charging into the Huayun Sect by himself hadn't spread, the imperial family who had spies all over the country had received the news immediately.
That afternoon, in the imperial palace of the Kingdom of Gesun, the prime minister of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom had found the king of the Kingdom of Gesun for the second time. He had once again brought up the matter of a marriage alliance with an extremely sincere attitude.
The king was extremely moved by the marriage alliance with the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom. The Heavenly Eagle Kingdom was the largest country in a radius of several tens of thousands of kilometers. Its strength was even greater than the Kingdom of Gesun's peak. If they could form a marriage alliance with the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom, it would be a great help to the weakened Kingdom of Gesun that had just ended the war.
However, with the revelation of Chang Wuji's strength, the status of the Changyang Prefecture in the king's heart had also risen. Adding on the fact that the Fourth Young Master was a peerless genius and the missing Changyang Ancestor who was very likely to have connections with the Qin Empire, it was very difficult for the king to make a decision on who to marry his precious daughter to.
If he betrothed his daughter to the Changyang Prefecture, it would be equivalent to making a bet. No one could predict the final outcome, and there was a chance that he would offend the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom. The gains would not make up for the losses. However, if he were to form a marriage alliance with the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom, the Kingdom of Gesun would immediately receive limitless benefits. These were two completely different concepts.
A guard in black armor ran in without being reported by anyone. He carried a red flag on his back. This flag possessed special authority in the imperial palace of the Kingdom of Gesun. Only when there was an extremely urgent matter that required an immediate meeting with the king would this flag be carried on his back. Under any circumstances, he could directly meet the king without having to report anything. No one dared to stop him.
"Your Majesty, an urgent letter has come from the Huayun Sect. It's extremely urgent!" The guard in black armor quickly ran into the hall and knelt on one knee as he reported.
Gazing at the flag on the back of the black-armored guard, the King's expression instantly turned solemn. The palace maid by the side quickly walked over, received the letter, and presented it to the King respectfully.
The king received the letter from the palace maid. He did not even have the time to exchange pleasantries with the prime minister of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom. He immediately opened the letter and began to read it.
Suddenly, His Majesty the King stood up from his chair. His hands trembled as he held the letter in his hands. His face was full of shock, and his eyes were wide open.
"Your Majesty, what happened?" The prime minister sitting across from him asked curiously.
The king acted as if he did not hear the prime minister's words at all. He repeatedly read the contents of the letter several times before exhaling deeply in order to suppress the shock in his heart. He then quickly walked out of the hall and ordered, "Men, prepare a large gift. This king will immediately make a trip to Lore City. Tell the commander of the Black Armored Army, Bi Dao, to come see me immediately."
The prime minister also stood up. Looking at the king's back, he said, "Your Majesty, the marriage alliance between our two kingdoms …"
