Jianchen and Changyang Hu returned to their mothers. Accompanied by two other aunts, they walked to the Conference Hall of Changyang Prefecture.
"Ah Hu, you've suffered in the academy. Look at the scar on your face …"
On the way, Jianchen's Eldest Aunt, Linglong, looked at the scar on Changyang Hu's face with a distressed expression. Her eyes gradually became moist and tears kept rolling in them.
Changyang Hu didn't care at all. He smiled and said, "Mother, it's just a small injury. It's not a big deal. Fortunately, my fourth brother saved me. Otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get out of bed and walk now."
Hearing this, Linglong turned to look at Jianchen with a gentle smile on her face. She said, "Xiangtian, thank you so much for saving Ah Hu this time."
Jianchen smiled and said, "Eldest Aunt, what are you talking about? My eldest brother is in trouble. It's my duty to help him. Moreover, this matter was caused by me. My eldest brother was just implicated. As long as you don't blame me, I'm very happy."
Linglong smiled and said, "Xiangtian, you're becoming more and more sensible. You're much better than us and Ah Hu."
"You're flattering me, Eldest Aunt!" Jian Chen chuckled. He could clearly feel that Ling Long's attitude towards him was much better now. At the very least, she was no longer as indifferent as she had been in the past.
"Mother, you're right. My fourth brother is very powerful. When he was not a Saint, he could hunt second-level demonic beasts alone. When he reached the Saint Realm, even Cheng Mingxiang, who was known as a cultivation genius in our Kargath Academy and had reached the Senior Saint Realm, was no match for him. He was knocked down to the ground in a few moves. At that time, there were more than a dozen students who were above the Saint Realm besieging him. In the end, they were all easily injured by him." Speaking of this, Changyang Hu looked particularly excited. He said excitedly, "Mother, you didn't see the scene at that time. It was spectacular. My fourth brother beat those people up in the blink of an eye. They were all primary and intermediate Saints. They couldn't fight back at all."
Hearing this, Jianchen's mother, Bi Yuntian, smiled happily and looked at Jianchen with affection.
"Hmph!"
At this moment, a cold snort sounded from the side. Jianchen's third aunt, Bai Yushuang, coldly said, "You're powerful, but you're powerful enough to offend the Huayun Sect. You've brought great trouble to our Changyang Prefecture."
Jianchen frowned. His third aunt, Bai Yushuang, had always had a prejudice against him since he was very young. Jianchen's mother, Bi Yuntian, was also very dissatisfied with Bai Yushuang's words. However, because it was her son who had caused trouble, she also felt that she was in the wrong. Moreover, his relationship with Bai Yushuang was not good, so she couldn't say anything. Otherwise, it would only escalate this small conflict.
Jianchen's second aunt, Yu Fengyan, tried to mediate. "Forget it, third sister. What's done is done. It's useless to talk about it now. What we should do now is to properly think about how to deal with this matter."
"Forget it, third sister. After all, Jianchen caused this trouble in order to save Ah Hu. This matter can't be completely blamed on him." Ling Long also spoke up for Jianchen.
Seeing that there were two people speaking up for Jianchen, Bai Yushuang lightly snorted and immediately shut her mouth.
Bi Yuntian lightly sighed. Her gaze was both affectionate and worried as she looked at Jianchen. She said, "Xiang 'er, we all know of your achievements in the Kargath Academy. Mother is proud of you. But how could you be so impulsive? You actually chopped off the Huayun Sect's current sect master's son's arm. Do you know that not only have you caused great trouble for yourself, but you've also implicated the entire Changyang Prefecture."
Jianchen revealed a trace of guilt. He said, "I'm sorry, mother. I've brought so much trouble to the family."
"Xiangtian, this matter has already happened. Don't blame yourself. Right now, let's hurry to the Conference Hall and discuss how to deal with this matter." Second aunt, Yu Fengyan, spoke up.
Afterwards, the group gradually quickened their pace and headed to the Conference Hall.
At this moment, in a dazzling palace, the king of the Kingdom of Gesun was reading the letter in his hand. His brows were tightly knitted together. After a long while, the king slowly sighed. He said, "This Changyang Shōten is far too impulsive. He actually made such a huge mistake and chopped off the right arm of the Huayun Sect's sect master's son. This matter has become huge. The Huayun Sect is not something that the current Changyang Prefecture can contend against."
The king slowly placed the letter on the table and shouted, "Men, tell the commander of the Ironclad Army, Bi Dao, to immediately come here."
"Yes, your majesty!"
As soon as the king finished speaking, a eunuch immediately ran out.
Very soon, a middle-aged man in black armor who seemed to be in his forties walked in from outside. The middle-aged man's appearance was nothing special. He had a resolute expression and a pair of bright eyes. However, the most eye-catching thing about him was the extremely sinister scar on his forehead. The scar ran across his entire forehead, causing people to shudder in fear.
The middle-aged man only stopped when he was ten steps away from the king. He clasped his hands and said, "Your majesty, may I ask why you've summoned me?"
The King slowly stood up and took the letter from the desk to the middle-aged man, saying, "Take a look!"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man in black armor took the letter from His Majesty's hand, opened it, and began to read. But after he finished reading, his face became very dignified.
"Sigh, I never thought that he would actually cause such a huge mess." The black-armored man deeply sighed as a sliver of worry appeared on his face.
"Young people are always so arrogant. They're just too impulsive." The king sighed, "Bi Dao, ever since you joined the Ironclad Army twenty years ago, you've never returned. Use this opportunity today to go back and take a look."
"Yes, your majesty!" A complicated expression flashed through the young man's eyes.
The king suddenly became stern, "Bi Dao, you have to convince the people in Changyang Prefecture to send Changyang Shōten away as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the people from the Huayun Sect find us, we'll be in deep trouble. Only by sending Changyang Shōten away and mediating between us can we temporarily stabilize the conflict between Changyang Prefecture and the Huayun Sect. Right now, the surrounding countries have become restless. It looks like they haven't given up on the idea of invading our Kingdom of Gesun. At such a critical moment, we can't allow any accidents to happen in our Kingdom of Gesun, or the consequences will be unthinkable."
"Changyang Shōten's talent is supreme and his potential is limitless. His future is limitless. He might be the only hope of our Kingdom of Gesun in the past several hundred years, so we have to protect Changyang Shōten. Although we can't guarantee that his future growth will be smooth, we can't let anything happen to him in our Kingdom of Gesun." The king's voice was extremely stern.
A sliver of pride and joy appeared on the young man's face when he heard that. He forcefully suppressed his excitement and said, "Your majesty, Bi Dao understands. I know what to do."
The king slowly nodded, "Bi Dao, there's no time to lose. Immediately set off for Changyang Prefecture. With your strength, I believe you'll be able to reach Changyang Prefecture before daybreak."
"Yes, your majesty."
… …
In the discussion hall of Changyang Prefecture, Changyang Ba sat boldly on the main seat. Below him sat Jianchen, his aunts, and a few core members of Changyang Prefecture. Below Changyang Ba sat caretaker Chang Bo.
Changyang Ba's face was filled with worry as he looked at Jian Chen with a complicated gaze. He then said, "I'm sure everyone knows about what happened to Xiang 'er in the academy. The Huayun Sect's current sect master's arm was cut off by Xiang' er. The Huayun Sect will definitely not let this matter rest. Do you have any good methods to deal with this?
Everyone fell silent when they heard that. The Huayun Sect was the greatest power in the Kingdom of Gesun aside from the imperial family. Its strength was something that even the imperial family feared. It was not something that the current Changyang Prefecture could handle. Cheng Mingxiang was the only son of the current sect master and had been extremely talented since he was young. Now that his right arm had been cut off by Jianchen, his future would be greatly affected. Without any exaggeration, Jianchen had completely destroyed Cheng Mingxiang. Everyone present knew that the Huayun Sect definitely wouldn't let this matter rest.
After a moment of silence, an old man in his sixties finally said, "Right now, the best solution is to ask a Radiant Saint Master to regenerate Cheng Mingxiang's severed arm. However, only Class 7 Radiant Saint Masters have the ability to regenerate severed limbs. They are not people that we can ask. Furthermore, Class 7 Radiant Saint Masters are extremely rare on the Tian Yuan Continent. They do not have a fixed residence, and finding one is as difficult as ascending to the heavens. So, the chances of Cheng Mingxiang's severed arm being regenerated are basically zero."
"Sigh, that's right. In my opinion, this is the only way to quell the Huayun Sect's anger. There's no other way. Even if the imperial family is willing to support us, I don't think the Huayun Sect will let this matter rest. However, one thing is for sure: the fourth young master will be hard to protect," a middle-aged man analyzed.
The middle-aged men and old men present were all people of great authority in Changyang Prefecture. They had long heard of Jianchen's performance in the academy, and they had already placed the hopes of Changyang Prefecture on Jianchen. As a result, although Jianchen had caused great trouble for Changyang Prefecture, no one blamed him. Everyone was thinking of ways to protect him. In addition, Jianchen was now engaged to Princess Glan of the Kingdom of Gesun. If this marriage went through, Changyang Prefecture's status in the Kingdom of Gesun would rise.
"If only the ancestor was here," an old man helplessly sighed.
Hearing that, Chang Bo's eyes brightened. He sighed, "That's right. If master was still here, we wouldn't have to gather here to discuss this matter. Unfortunately, master has already been gone for several decades without any news. I wonder if he has failed."
Hearing that, everyone in the hall fell silent.
Jianchen's heart trembled. Although he had never heard of the ancestor or Chang Bo's master, he was able to infer some things from these words. He already knew that the ancestor everyone was talking about and the master Chang Bo was talking about should be the same person. Not only was this person incomparably powerful, not fearing the Huayun Sect that had two great experts, but this person was also his ancestor.
This question didn't hover in Jianchen's mind for long. Jianchen quickly threw it aside. Looking at the silent people in the hall, Jianchen hesitated for a moment before suddenly saying, "Father, how about we have Chang Bo send me out on a flying Magical Beast? As long as I'm not in Changyang Prefecture, I believe that even if the Huayun Sect really comes, they won't do anything excessive."
"No!"
"No!"
Just as Jianchen's words fell, Bi Yuntian and Changyang Ba's voices rang out at the same time.
