Jiang Chen took a few breaks along the way. While enjoying the scenery of the Southern Region, he continued his journey toward the Nangong family. When he arrived at the Nangong City, including the time he spent leaving the Nangong family, it had been exactly two days.
There were still twelve days left until the duel with the Nangong family. After arriving at the Nangong City, Jiang Chen went straight to the Nangong family. Since Nangong Yunfan had personally arranged for Jiang Chen to be the Nangong family's esteemed guest, he was allowed to come and go as he pleased. Therefore, Jiang Chen didn't encounter any obstacles, and he went straight to Nangong Wentian's courtyard.
Just as Jiang Chen expected, Nangong Wentian had yet to break through to the Combat Soul realm. The step from the Divine Core realm to the Combat Soul realm was extremely easy, and not everyone was like Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen's path of cultivation could be said to have no bottlenecks, but it was different for Nangong Wentian. The transition from the Divine Core realm to the Combat Soul realm was the biggest hurdle for any cultivator.
However, Jiang Chen was very confident in Nangong Wentian. As long as Nangong Wentian could master the essence of cultivating the Ten Thousand Everlasting Elephants skill, he would have a high chance of breaking through to the Combat Soul realm before the duel.
Late at night, the sky was filled with countless stars. The Southern Continent's night sky was much more beautiful than the Eastern Continent's, and the moon seemed rounder and bigger. Jiang Chen threw his glance toward the eastern horizon. He didn't miss his hometown, but he couldn't stop worrying about what was happening in the Eastern Continent.
Five days later! Eastern Continent, Martial Saint Dynasty, Crown Prince Palace!
On this day, the Commander of the Golden Guards, the Crown Prince, came out from his secluded cultivation.
"Wu Cong, why are you in such a hurry to see me?"
Within the Crown Prince Palace's main hall, the Crown Prince was wearing a golden robe. He was well-dressed, and he had a tall stature. His face was like a piece of jade, and his eyes were like the stars in the sky. He was a handsome man. Furthermore, the Crown Prince had broken through to the Late Combat Soul realm at such a young age, and he was the next Crown Prince.
"The crown prince's cultivation has improved after going into seclusion. It looks like he's getting closer and closer to the Battle King realm. Congratulations!"
Wu Cong hastily flattered the Crown Prince and saluted him. Although the two of them were uncle and brother, there was a huge gap between their statuses. Wu Cong was only an heir, so when he saw the Crown Prince, he still had to salute.
The Crown Prince's lips curled into a smile. It was obvious that this flattery was very effective on him. He had always been extremely confident in his cultivation and combat abilities.
"You brat, you don't come without a reason. This prince has just come out of seclusion and you're already here. There must be something. Tell me."
The Crown Prince seemed to be in a good mood.
"His Highness, the Crown Prince, has been busy cultivating in seclusion recently. He doesn't know that a monstrous genius has appeared in the Eastern Continent recently. That genius is known as the Eastern Continent's number one genius."
Wu Cong said. He narrowed his eyes and observed the change in the Crown Prince's expression. As expected, the Crown Prince's expression froze when he heard the words' number one genius'.
"Number one genius? Tell me about it. "
The Crown Prince's interest was piqued.
"This man's name is Jiang Chen, and he has done many big things recently. He killed many geniuses and elders from the Shangguan Clan and Myriad Sword Sect. During the trip to the Island of Ice, I was nearly killed by him. He's a proud and arrogant man, and he doesn't even put the Imperial Emperor in his eyes …"
Wu Cong told the Crown Prince everything he knew about Jiang Chen, including how Jiang Chen killed the geniuses from the Myriad Sword Sect and Shangguan Clan, how the two superpowers brought the matter to the Imperial Emperor, how Jiang Chen knelt down in front of the Imperial Emperor, and how Jiang Chen sealed the dimensional crack with a formation. Of course, some of the details were exaggerated.
The reason why Wu Cong came to the Crown Prince was very obvious. Currently, the Ninth Emperor was protecting Jiang Chen, and Jiang Chen was hiding in the Martial Palace. They had no chance to create a new conflict with Jiang Chen, and in the entire Martial Saint Dynasty, perhaps only this young man in front of them had the ability to create a new conflict. Furthermore, the Crown Prince had always thought that he was the number one genius among the younger generation of the Martial Saint Dynasty. Wu Cong purposely made Jiang Chen sound like a god in order to attract the Crown Prince's attention.
"Hmph! A brat who came out of nowhere dares to disrespect my father? He's courting death! "
The Crown Prince coldly harrumphed. In his mind, the Imperial Emperor's position was extremely high, and he would never allow anyone to disrespect the Imperial Emperor's prestige.
"That's right, this brat is extremely arrogant and lawless. Right now, both the Shangguan Clan and Myriad Sword Sect wish they could eat him alive. But too bad, the Imperial Emperor's golden words made all the resentments in the past disappear. Now that Jiang Chen is hiding in the Martial Palace, there's no way for us to deal with him."
Wu Cong sighed.
"Little brother Cong, it looks like you want me to deal with this Jiang Chen."
The Crown Prince was a smart man, how could Wu Cong's little scheme hide from him?
"Crown Prince, you're a wise man. It's not like I don't have a way to deal with him. In the entire Martial Saint Dynasty, only the Crown Prince can deal with him. Besides, if this brat continues to grow, he will threaten the Crown Prince's position sooner or later."
Wu Cong said.
"Hmph! He's just a Divine Core warrior! I, the Crown Prince, am going to be the Imperial Emperor in the future, how can a nobody like him compare with me? However, since my Imperial Father has given his golden words, and the Martial Palace is the Ninth Emperor's territory, it won't be appropriate for me to interfere. Besides, with my status, if I take the initiative to cause trouble with a Divine Core brat, it will just bring shame to my reputation. "
The Crown Prince coldly harrumphed and said. He still had to give some face to Wu Jiu. More importantly, the Crown Prince was a proud man, and he didn't take Jiang Chen seriously at all.
"Of course, with that Jiang Chen's status, how could the Crown Prince take him seriously? The reason I came here today isn't to ask the Crown Prince to deal with that Jiang Chen, I have something good to tell you."
Wu Cong said with a smile on his face, as if the Crown Prince's reaction was within his expectations.
"Oh? What is it? "
The Crown Prince looked at Wu Cong and said.
"That Jiang Chen has a girl next to him, her name is Yan Chen Yu. She is an outstanding beauty, pure and holy like jade, she is a real fairy that descended from the heavens! Only someone like the Crown Prince is worthy of such a beauty! Who does that Jiang Chen think he is?"
Wu Cong said while gnashing his teeth in anger.
"Brother, I think you're exaggerating. I, the Crown Prince, have seen all kinds of beauties in my life."
The Crown Prince said with a smile.
"If the Crown Prince doesn't believe me, there's nothing I can do about it. After all, when I saw Yan Chen Yu, I was shocked like a goddess. If the Crown Prince doesn't believe me, you can go to the Martial Palace and have a look. I'm not going there to cause trouble, and I don't think I'm going to offend the Ninth Emperor."
Wu Cong said. He knew the Crown Prince's problem very well. Jiang Chen couldn't attract the Crown Prince's interest, but this Yan Chen Yu would definitely be able to.
Indeed, after hearing what Wu Cong said, the Crown Prince's eyes immediately lit up. He slowly stood up from his seat and said, "Let's go, let's go to the Martial Palace and have a look. If that Yan Chen Yu is just an ordinary girl, I won't forgive you."
"Don't worry, the Crown Prince. I can guarantee with my head that she is definitely the girl that the Crown Prince likes."
Wu Cong smiled. The first step of his scheme had succeeded.
Following behind the Crown Prince, both men left the Crown Prince Palace and flew toward the Martial Palace. With their speed, it wouldn't take them too long to reach the Martial Palace from the Martial Saint Dynasty.
Soon after, both men arrived at the Martial Palace. With their status and identity, no one would stop them from entering the Martial Palace.
"Where is that Jiang Chen? Since I'm here, I might as well meet him. "
The Crown Prince said.
"Over there."
Wu Cong had already found out where Jiang Chen and the others were staying. He brought the Crown Prince and flew toward one of the courtyards.
Right at this moment, within the courtyard, Yan Chen Yu and Da Huang Dog were bathing in the morning sunlight. Han Yan wasn't here, as he had gone into secluded cultivation to break through to the Combat Soul realm. Only Yan Chen Yu and Da Huang Dog were here.
Suddenly, the dispirited Da Huang Dog suddenly stood up from the ground. Two bright lights immediately shot out from his eyes as he stared at the two men who had suddenly appeared in the courtyard.
He didn't know the handsome man who wore the imperial robe, but Wu Cong was no stranger to him. Back on the Island of Ice, Wu Cong had tried to make things difficult for him several times. Since the man in the imperial robe was with Wu Cong, he couldn't be a good person either. This was Da Huang Dog's first impression of the Crown Prince.
When the Crown Prince landed in the courtyard, he immediately saw Yan Chen Yu. After that, he couldn't move his eyes away from her.
Pure and holy like the snow, dressed in white like a fairy, her entire body was spiritual, and her beautiful face was flawless. How could there be such a beautiful woman in this world? In just an instant, the Crown Prince's heart had been completely conquered by Yan Chen Yu. He admitted that he had seen countless women, but he had never seen anyone as beautiful as her.
"What a beautiful woman!"
The Crown Prince couldn't help but praise.
The Crown Prince's gaze was extremely passionate. This kind of gaze made Yan Chen Yu feel extremely disgusted. She slightly frowned.
Right at this moment, an incomparably majestic Da Huang Dog blocked in front of Yan Chen Yu. His long tongue kept spitting saliva at the Crown Prince and Wu Cong. The beautiful scene was immediately interrupted. Only now did the Crown Prince notice that there was a dog next to him. Instantly, he had an urge to tear this dog into pieces.
"Who are you two? What are you doing here? "
Da Huang Dog asked impatiently.
"Presumptuous! You stupid dog, do you know who you are talking to? This is the Crown Prince!"
Wu Cong shouted loudly.
"Can a Crown Prince trespass into private property? This is the Martial Palace! If you have something to say, say it! If not, just leave! "
Da Huang Dog scolded impatiently, but he didn't forget to wave his hooves in the air like a human.
"You're courting death!"
Wu Cong was infuriated on the spot. His impression of this dog could be said to be extremely bad. Back when they were on the Island of Ice, he wished he could skin this dog alive. This dog's mouth was extremely vicious.
Just as Wu Cong was about to make his move, the Crown Prince stopped him and said, "Be a gentleman, we are not here to fight."
The Crown Prince tidied up his clothes in a gentlemanly manner. Of course, this gentlemanly behavior was only what he thought, Yan Chen Yu didn't agree with him. In Yan Chen Yu's eyes, there was only one man, Jiang Chen.
"Where is Jiang Chen? Tell him to come out, the Crown Prince wants to see him! "
Wu Cong said loudly. No one knew that Jiang Chen and Nangong Wentian had secretly left the Martial Palace for the Southern Continent.
