Within Changyang Prefecture, Bi Yuntian and her three sisters sat in the garden and chatted. Laughter would ring out from time to time, and they chatted very happily. Their topic of conversation basically revolved around Jianchen. Their words were filled with undisguised envy, as well as some jealousy. They all secretly regretted not being able to give birth to a son as outstanding as Jianchen.
Bi Yuntian was grinning from ear to ear as she listened to her sisters talk about her son. She felt extremely proud of her son's talent, and because of her son, her status in Changyang Prefecture had skyrocketed. Even the senior figures in Changyang Prefecture treated Bi Yuntian politely now.
Changyang Ba was currently conversing with the leader of a large clan in the Kingdom of Gesun in the discussion hall of Changyang Prefecture.
"Brother Changyang Ba, what do you think of my suggestion? Although Changyang Shōten is engaged to the princess of Glan, it's normal for a man to have multiple wives on the Tian Yuan Continent. I'm willing to marry my second daughter, Kadiqiuli, to young master Changyang Shōten so that she can become one of his concubines," said the leader of the clan. He spoke extremely modestly and seemed to be pleading.
Changyang Ba chuckled, "Patriarch Kadiqiuli, I'm really sorry. Xiang 'er has already grown up. As his parents, it's not our place to make a decision about his marriage. Let's discuss this matter with Xiang' er after he returns."
"Then I'll have to trouble brother Changyang Ba to put in a few good words for your young master. Although my second daughter, Kadiqiuli, is not as outstanding as the princess of Glan, she's still a beauty that outshines the moon. She's publicly acknowledged as the second most beautiful woman in the Kingdom of Gesun," said the patriarch confidently.
Changyang Ba nodded with a smile, "Of course, of course!"
At this moment, a tremendous pressure appeared in the surroundings, enveloping the entire Changyang Prefecture. Under the influence of the pressure, everyone in Changyang Prefecture immediately felt like a boulder had fallen on their chests, making it difficult for them to breathe.
The sudden change shocked everyone in Changyang Prefecture. However, before they could understand what was happening, a voice boomed out. The voice was old, but it was filled with vigor.
"Where is Jianchen? Come see me immediately!"
Above Changyang Prefecture, five old men in their seventies had appeared at some point. They hovered a hundred meters in the air, looking down from above.
All the people in the Changyang clan silently endured the pressure as they made their way out of their rooms with great difficulty. They all raised their heads and stared at the five old men in the sky in both surprise and doubt. This was because they knew that the five old men had come with ill intentions, but they could not figure out just who would dare to offend the Changyang clan that was at the peak of its power.
Changyang Ba, Bi Yuntian, and the other old men in the prefecture all gathered in the square in front of the hall. They stared at the five old men in the sky with serious expressions. A while later, Changyang Ba said loudly, "May I ask who the five seniors are and why you're looking for Xiang 'er?"
The five old men immediately focused their gazes on Changyang Ba with his words. Old man Situ waved his hand gently, and Changyang Ba's body seemed to be enveloped by an invisible force. He actually flew into the air quickly.
"Patriarch!" All the guards and old men below cried out. They were extremely worried about Changyang Ba's safety, afraid that something would happen to him.
"Let go of the patriarch!" At this moment, an explosive cry rang out from the crowd. An azure figure flew into the air with lightning speed, attempting to save Changyang Ba.
Seeing the azure figure shoot up from below, one of the Fifth Heavenly Layer Saint Rulers in the air could not help but sneer, "Hmph, you really don't know what's good for you!" Then, with a light wave of his arm, an invisible and powerful force immediately surged toward the cyan figure, ruthlessly slamming into the cyan figure's chest.
Spurt! The azure figure spat out a mouthful of blood, which turned into a bloody mist that drifted through the air. He then powerlessly fell down, crashing into the ground heavily.
"Chang Bo!"
"Steward!"
The people of Changyang Prefecture all cried out. They all began to panic. Chang Bo was a powerful Heaven Saint Master, yet he had been injured by the five old men so easily. All of them found it hard to believe.
The restrained Changyang Ba paled in fright when he saw how Chang Bo had been injured in a single exchange. Shock filled his eyes as he looked at the five old men. The strength of the old man who had just attacked him made him shiver because Changyang Ba knew extremely well that even a Sixth Cycle Heaven Saint Master would not be able to injure him so easily with Chang Bo's strength, let alone the fact that the old man had only waved his hand casually.
Afterward, Changyang Ba seemed to think of something. A few words came out of his mouth with difficulty, "Saint Rulers!"
Situ Gui stared at Changyang Ba with a sneer, "Not bad, not bad. You're quite knowledgeable to actually be able to guess our strength. You should be the patriarch of Changyang Prefecture, right? You're also Jianchen's father. Tell me, where is Jianchen?"
"Patriarch of Changyang Prefecture, as long as you obediently answer our questions, we won't harm you. After all, not only will we not gain anything from killing you, we'll even increase our sins and cause the Celestial's Decay to descend earlier," Ma Teng sneered. He had captured Jianchen's father, so he refused to believe that he could not find Jianchen.
Changyang Ba already understood that the five old men were Jianchen's enemies. Without any hesitation, he said, "Seniors, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. Xiang 'er likes to travel and has already left home for many days. As his father, I don't know where he is right now."
"Looks like you don't want to talk." Situ Gui's face darkened. He grabbed Changyang Ba's neck with one hand and sneered, "I don't want to kill you, but don't force me. I'll give you one more chance. Tell me where Jianchen is, or I'll have to break your neck."
Changyang Ba had always been a tough man. He was not someone who was afraid of death. Not only did Situ Gui's threat not have any effect, but it even provoked Changyang Ba. He said, "Kill me if you want. Even if I know where Xiang 'er is, I definitely won't tell you."
