George had been defeated by Jianchen in front of everyone. He flew twenty meters before crashing to the ground in a horrible shape. He rolled a few times before coming to a stop. He spat out a few more mouthfuls of blood as his face paled.
The people from the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom paled in fright when they saw this unbelievable scene. The confident second prince and prime minister paled as well. The second prince began to tremble as his eyes filled with fear.
The reason why they dared to cause trouble in the Gesun Kingdom's imperial palace was because of George, a Heaven Saint Master. But now, George had been heavily injured after just a few exchanges with his opponent. The difference in strength between them was like the difference between heaven and earth. He could barely even protect himself, so how could he protect them?
The people from the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom all had extremely ugly expressions. They all sternly protected the second prince and prime minister as they stared at the people from the Kingdom of Gesun cautiously.
Jianchen had defeated a Heaven Saint Master in such a short amount of time, leaving everyone speechless. Possessing the strength of a Heaven Saint Master at such a young age was just too shocking. Moreover, his battle prowess was extraordinarily great.
Battles between Heaven Saint Masters were often extremely intense. It was very difficult to determine the victor in a short amount of time, yet Jianchen had managed to heavily injure a Heaven Saint Master in just two seconds. His strength was so great that it made everyone tremble.
George coughed violently as he slowly stood up from the ground. He stared at Jianchen's young face in shock. He found it very difficult to believe that a young man who seemed to be in his twenties would possess such battle prowess. In particular, the mysterious power that could destroy Saint Weapons filled George with deep fear.
Grasping such a power would give one an absolute advantage in a battle against Heaven Saint Masters. They could even easily kill them. After all, the collision of weapons was unavoidable in a battle. A Saint Weapon was connected to its master's life force, just like a part of their body. Once a Saint Weapon was damaged, the master would be heavily injured as well.
George used his sword to support himself on the ground. The two finger-sized holes in his sword were extremely obvious.
"What kind of power is that? How can it destroy my Saint Weapon so easily?" George stared at Jianchen sternly. Although he forced himself to remain calm, his voice still trembled slightly. The power of that power had already filled him with fear.
Jianchen had already withdrawn the origin energy from the sword spirits. He crossed his arms as he coldly stared at George, "You don't need to know this. Didn't the people of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom want to capture me? All of you can come at me together. I, Changyang Shōten, will face you alone."
The experts of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom looked at each other. They were stuck between a rock and a hard place. Now that they knew Jianchen's strength, they had already lost their arrogance from before. Even the second prince and the prime minister fell silent, not daring to make a sound. Even a Heaven Saint Master could be easily defeated. Even if these Earth Saint Masters all charged at him, it would be useless. They would just be sending themselves to their deaths. The difference between a Heaven Saint Master and an Earth Saint Master was just too great. One was in the sky while the other was on the ground. The two could not be compared at all.
George let out a long sigh as he became rather dispirited. He put away his Saint Weapon and said to Jianchen, "I never thought that such a genius would appear in the Kingdom of Gesun. Changyang Shōten, you are very strong. We are not your opponent. I apologize on behalf of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom for our rudeness from before." With that, George did not wait for Jianchen's reply and left with the people of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom.
"Stop right there. Where do you think you're going?" Ming Dong's figure flashed as he blocked the path of the people of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom. He sneered, "People of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom, do you really think us brothers are easy to bully? You were just saying that you wanted to capture us and hand us over to your shitty emperor. You were so arrogant that you didn't put anyone in your eyes. Now that you know you're no match for us, you want to slip away. How can it be so easy?"
George's face sank as unconcealable anger filled his face. He growled, "Then what do you want?"
"All of you stay here. Don't even think about taking a single step out of the imperial palace of the Kingdom of Gesun," Ming Dong said coldly and seriously.
Hearing this, the expressions of the group from the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom changed. The Prime Minister opened his mouth and said, "Then do you want to imprison all of us here or kill all of us?"
"A tiny kingdom like the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom dares to be so arrogant." Ming Dong snorted coldly. He looked at Jianchen and said, "Brother, how do you plan on dealing with them? We can't just let go of what happened last night."
Although the assassin's appearance had been disfigured and he had kept his mouth shut, the Kingdom of Gesun had not been able to find out his true identity. However, everyone knew what had happened. It was just that they did not say it out loud.
Jianchen pondered for a moment before waving his hand, "Ming Dong, let them go."
"Jianchen, are you going to let them go so easily?" Ming Dong was unwilling to accept this.
"Let them go. I have my own plans for this," Jianchen said.
Jianchen's attitude was firm. Ming Dong had no other choice. He glared fiercely at the people of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom and said, "You better not let me run into you in the future. Otherwise, things won't be as easy as today." With that, Ming Dong stepped aside and stood behind Jianchen.
The people of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom heaved a sigh of relief. They did not linger and quickly left the place. After what had happened, they no longer had the face to continue staying in the Kingdom of Gesun. They directly led the ambassadors out of the imperial palace and out of the Kingdom of Gesun.
"Jianchen, why did you let them go?" Ming Dong still felt very unbalanced.
"The Kingdom of Gesun has just gone through a great battle and has suffered greatly. It is not appropriate for us to make an enemy out of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom," Jianchen said.
"What are you afraid of? Don't forget your current status. Are you afraid of a small kingdom like the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom?"
Jianchen gently shook his head and said, "Although the Qin Empire is a great deterrent, it is too far away. Sending an army here is simply unrealistic. On the other hand, the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom and the Kingdom of Gesun are very close to each other. Moreover, the Kingdom of Gesun is very strong. It is best not to make our relationship too tense. Although we are not afraid, the Kingdom of Gesun cannot afford to suffer any more."
"So everything you do is for the sake of the Kingdom of Gesun," Ming Dong said with relief. He had always been alone. In the past, he had always done things his own way. He rarely considered the consequences of his actions. Therefore, he did not understand Jianchen's painstaking efforts.
The King came to Jianchen's side and said a few words of concern. His attitude was like that of a father caring for his own child. In his heart, he had long since regarded Jianchen as his son-in-law.
The commotion caused by the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom calmed down very quickly. However, because Jian Chen's strength had been exposed, his name had already resounded throughout the entire palace. He had become a popular person in the palace. At the same time, news of Jian Chen and Princess Glan's marriage had also spread throughout the palace, causing everyone to know about it.
Although this marriage had been decided a few years ago, the news had not yet been announced. Only the two families involved and the Huayun Sect knew about it. It was still a secret in the palace.
After the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom's special envoy left, the King invited Jianchen's family to a private discussion in the Great Assembly Hall. Not long after, an imperial edict was issued from the Great Assembly Hall, shocking everyone in the Kingdom of Gesun.
The Fourth Young Master of the Changyang Prefecture, Changyang Shōten, would henceforth assume the position of Imperial Protector of the Kingdom of Gesun. The authority in his hands was no less than the King's. At the same time, the King also announced the marriage between Changyang Shōten and the Glan Princess, allowing everyone in the Kingdom of Gesun to know about it.
After this incident, the Changyang Prefecture, which had always kept a low profile in Lore City, became one of the most popular families in the Kingdom of Gesun. Everyone knew about it, and it was impossible to keep a low profile even if they wanted to. The Fourth Young Master of the Changyang Prefecture also became a topic of discussion among the people of the Kingdom of Gesun. His deeds were gradually exposed under the efforts of those who wanted to dig up information about him.
The strength that Jianchen had revealed in the Great Assembly Hall was not sealed. Instead, under the King's secret instructions, the news quickly spread. Very soon, the name of a twenty-one-year-old Heaven Saint Master resounded throughout the Kingdom of Gesun, and it quickly spread to the surrounding kingdoms.
However, everyone scoffed at this news. No one really believed it. A twenty-one-year-old Heaven Saint Master was just too much of an exaggeration.
In a luxurious inn in Lore City, Dugu Feng, dressed in flame-red robes, was drinking alone. Everyone around him was talking about Jianchen. Dugu Feng also scoffed at this news. He did not believe it at all.
Suddenly, a conversation at a table attracted Dugu Feng's attention.
"Isn't the Changyang Prefecture one of the four great families of Lore City? I know a little about the Fourth Young Master of the Changyang Prefecture, Changyang Shōten. I heard that his talent was outstanding since he was young. In Kargath Academy, he defeated a Mid Great Saint and a dozen Saints as a Primary Saint. He was very powerful, but he offended the Huayun Sect and suddenly disappeared. No one knows where he went. He only returned recently."
