As long as there were people, there would be strife, let alone a place with power and influence. Jiang Chen was very clear about this. The strife of the imperial clan was unavoidable even if they were from the same sect. In fact, it might even be more tragic.
Jiang Chen could almost imagine that the King-Conferring Ceremony would be as Yang Bufan had predicted. At that time, both King Ping and Prince Bai wouldn't let the ceremony go smoothly. As for what kind of trouble they would look for, Jiang Chen had no idea. Even Yang Bufan didn't know. After all, Yang Bufan had been away for more than a decade. He needed to familiarize himself with everything in the Imperial Capital.
Jiang Chen didn't speak, but he was sure that he would stand on Yang Bufan's side as long as Yang Bufan needed it. However, Jiang Chen felt that given his current ability, he might not be able to help much. After all, he was only a late Golden Immortal, not even an Immortal King.
"What's the cultivation base of the Crown Prince and King Ping? Could it be that they are stronger than you?"
Da Huang Dog asked curiously.
"Of course. The cultivation base of the Crown Prince and King Ping has already reached the Immortal Emperor realm," said Yang Bufan.
Even though they were opponents, he had to admit that the Crown Prince and King Ping were indeed very strong. Putting aside the strength of their forces, their cultivation base alone was already frightening enough.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen and Da Huang Dog exchanged a glance and saw the astonishment in each other's eyes. It seemed like the geniuses of the eleven major powers in East Xuanyu were much more powerful than they had imagined. They had no idea how many true Immortal Emperors there were.
To be able to reach the Immortal Emperor realm at such a young age wasn't just a matter of talent, but also a matter of great perseverance.
In the following time, Jiang Chen, Wu Ningzhu and Da Huang Dog were cultivating in King Fan Prefecture, living a peaceful and comfortable life. King Fan Prefecture was brightly lit day and night. It was very busy. Everyone was busy preparing for the King-Conferring Ceremony. At this time, Jiang Chen really couldn't provide any help.
Eastern Profound Domain had been in a state of unrest recently. While the King-Conferring Ceremony was busy, Nanbei Family didn't calm down either. The entire Eastern Profound Domain was filled with the shadows of Nanbei Family's experts. Those with discerning eyes could already feel the abnormal atmosphere, but since the people of Nanbei Family didn't say anything, no one knew what was happening in Nanbei Family.
Apart from that, the death of Young Master Futian had also caused a great upheaval in that area, because not only Young Master Futian had died, but many other geniuses had also died. It could be said that all the major powers in that area were infuriated. They couldn't wait to eat Jiang Chen alive, but as Old Man Bai Weng had already taken Jiang Chen away, there was nothing they could do.
After Jiang Chen left, Fu Kui went to Corpse Yin Sect and begged the higher ups of Corpse Yin Sect to avenge his son. However, after hearing that Jiang Chen was Yang Bufan's friend, the experts of Corpse Yin Sect didn't give a clear answer. They only said that it wasn't the time to provoke King Fan yet, but they would certainly avenge Jiang Chen's death. As long as they had the chance, they would definitely kill Jiang Chen. After all, the people of Corpse Yin Sect weren't people that anyone could kill or get away with it.
The attitude of Huangquan Gate was the same. The death of Huo Ying had infuriated them. In other words, regardless of whether they would provoke Yang Bufan or not, it was a fact that Jiang Chen had offended these two major powers.
Perhaps, it could be said that Young Master Futian and Huo Ying were nothing to Corpse Yin Sect and Huangquan Gate. Losing such geniuses wasn't a big loss, but this was a matter of face. In any case, Young Master Futian and Huo Ying represented the face of Corpse Yin Sect and Huangquan Gate. Killing them was equivalent to slapping the faces of these two major powers.
What did the major powers care about the most? It was face. A puny Golden Immortal dared to provoke these two major powers. If they let this matter go, wouldn't they become a laughing stock in the future?
Fu City!
A white cloth was hung outside the City Lord Mansion. The atmosphere of the entire mansion was incomparably oppressive. Everyone in the mansion was as silent as a cicada in winter. They didn't even dare to speak loudly. Ever since the death of Young Master Futian, this place had never been peaceful. The roar of Fu Kui could be heard every day.
At this moment, in the main hall of the City Lord Mansion, a green-robed youth was standing there with a face full of anger. Standing opposite him was Fu Kui. Fu Kui's eyes were still glowing with red light. He hadn't calmed down from his anger. Not being able to kill Jiang Chen that day was the thing he regretted the most. What he regretted even more was that he didn't arrive a step earlier. Even if he did, his son wouldn't have to die.
Of course, he didn't know that if Jiang Chen was determined to kill Futian, even if he, Fu Kui, arrived earlier, Futian would still be dead.
"Dad, we must avenge Second Brother. So what if they are King Fan's men? Our Divine Line Sect isn't afraid of them. "
The green-robed youth spoke angrily. He was none other than the eldest son of Fu Kui, Fu Wei. He was a genius of Divine Line Sect. His cultivation base was much more terrifying than Futian's. At such a young age, he had already reached the late Immortal King realm. Such a cultivation base would give him a certain status even in Divine Line Sect.
This was because such a genius had the highest chance of breaking through to the Immortal Emperor realm. Every young Immortal Emperor was the hope of a major power.
After Fu Kui felt that it was hopeless to rely on Corpse Yin Sect, he summoned his eldest son back. When Fu Wei heard that his brother was killed, he was naturally infuriated to the extreme.
"Ah Wei, just like what you said, we must avenge this. We can't rely on Corpse Yin Sect anymore. For the time being, they won't offend King Fan for a dead man. So if we want to avenge our brother, we can only rely on ourselves."
Fu Kui spoke.
"Dad, don't worry. Leave this matter to me. I will certainly kill him with my own hands to avenge my brother."
Fu Wei clenched his fists so hard that cracking sounds could be heard. He had a belly full of anger that he had nowhere to vent. He felt that if he met Jiang Chen now, he would definitely tear him into pieces.
"Ah Wei, do you have any ideas? That brat should be hiding in King Fan Prefecture. Even if you are from Divine Line Sect, you won't have the chance to kill him. "
Fu Kui spoke. He had never thought that Jiang Chen would have a relationship with King Fan.
"Dad, King Fan's King-Conferring Ceremony will be held in a few days. This will be my chance. With White Tiger and King Ping present, the ceremony won't be peaceful. I have a good relationship with King Ping. When the time comes, I will follow King Ping into King Fan Prefecture. As long as that Jiang Chen appears, I will find a chance to kill him."
