The blazing Yan Imperial Sword shocked everyone present.
Kneeling on the ground were the three princes bound by lightning chains, and Tower Master Yang, who was forced to apologize.
There was also the Smiling Daughter Pavilion's ceiling crack, which no one knew when it would be repaired.
No one expected a mere 1-Vein Sovereign Emperor to cause the three princes to suffer, forcing the Smiling Daughter Pavilion to apologize and make amends.
The Heavenly Alliance's envoy inspector, Xiao Chen, would definitely shake the imperial capital tonight.
It was hard to imagine that if not for the Yan Imperial Sword that flew over, this storm would not have happened. If not for the flying Yan Imperial Sword, what would have happened in the end?
The white-haired old man looked at Xiao Chen and asked, "Lord Xiao, what do you think?"
After all, it was only Su Ye who expressed her opinion. The imperial ancestral temple's Imperial Ancestor needed Xiao Chen's opinion first.
"Pavilion Master Su's opinion is my opinion as well."
Xiao Chen managed to survive a certain death situation and even made the veiled woman suffer and apologize.
Xiao Chen did not feel any dissatisfaction. This already exceeded his expectations.
In reality, even if Xiao Chen wanted to ask for more, he could not ask for too much.
After all, it was the Yan Imperial Sword that was stabbed into the ground. The ones in control of the situation were the imperial ancestral temple's Imperial Ancestor. The imperial capital Yan City belonged to the Royal Court, after all.
Although Xiao Chen was righteous, this was a world where the strong ruled. It was already not easy to gain such benefits.
This time, the Smiling Daughter Pavilion and the three princes went for wool and came home shorn.
They would definitely become a laughingstock and would not dare to make a move on him for the time being. The seven merchant associations would also have to reconsider.
However …
Xiao Chen looked at the dejected Ling Yu. He had wronged his martial nephew. He could not interfere with headliner Ling Long's matters.
If Xiao Chen used this opportunity to force the veiled woman to give up on the wedding, it would be too rude.
Xiao Chen remained rather calm. The accumulations of the Pleasure Quarter Alliance were not as simple as he imagined.
This time, the Smiling Daughter Pavilion's apology was to give the imperial ancestral temple's Imperial Ancestor face, not Xiao Chen.
If Xiao Chen pushed too hard, it might have the opposite effect.
Even now, Xiao Chen did not know how many trump cards the Smiling Daughter Pavilion had revealed.
"Goodbye. Many thanks to Senior for upholding justice. This Xiao will remember this."
Xiao Chen cupped his fists at the white-haired old man.
The white-haired old man smiled faintly and said, "Take care. The Yanwu Dynasty has always had a good relationship with the Heavenly Alliance. This little favor is nothing."
Xiao Chen's group left the Smiling Daughter Pavilion in a grandiose manner.
Of course, they didn't go through the main entrance. Instead, they went through the hole that the Hundred Fairies of the Pear Garden created with their musical instruments.
Yuan Zhen thought for a moment before following them.
Then, the three presidents who had signed a new contract with Xiao Chen left at the same time.
"Tower Master Yang, I have wronged you this time."
The imperial ancestral temple's patriarch asked softly as he glanced at the veiled woman.
This time, everyone could tell that the Smiling Daughter Pavilion took the blame for the Royal Court, pushing away all responsibility.
The Smiling Daughter Pavilion could only apologize and swallow their anger.
The veiled woman said indifferently, "Ancestor is too serious. This time, I was rash and didn't handle things properly. Let's drop this matter for now. I still wish for Sect Ancestor to preside over the wedding of the First Prince and headliner Ling Long. "
The white-haired old man hesitated for a moment before nodding. "I agree to this."
This could be considered a form of compensation. The imperial ancestral temple was on the same side as the First Prince in the first place. However, it was inconvenient for them to preside over the wedding.
If not for today's matter, the white-haired old man would not have appeared in public for this matter.
"Take the three princes away. After whipping them, ground them for half a month."
"Yes."
The Royal Court's people left. Before they left, the white-haired old man drew the Yan Imperial Sword. Just as he was about to put it in the sword box, his expression changed.
Unexpectedly, a tiny crack appeared on the Yan Imperial Sword. The crack looked unremarkable, but it was clearly new.
It was normal for a Soul Tool to crack. As long as one fought, it would be hard to avoid damage.
Even the Yan Imperial Sword was no exception. Historically, the Yan Imperial Sword had even shattered. However, as long as the dynasty's Luck did not decline, it could always be repaired.
However, the problem was … when had anyone clashed with the Yan Imperial Sword in this place?
The veiled woman looked suspiciously at the white-haired old man. However, the other party hid his expression well and left in a rush, not saying a word.
After the Royal Court's people left, the extraordinarily bustling Smiling Daughter Pavilion slowly quietened down.
The veiled woman instructed. Then, she quickly headed for the depths of the Smiling Daughter Pavilion with a rushed expression.
Unlike what many people imagined, the outside world was filled with lush mountains, clear waters, and drifting white clouds. The depths of the core seemed to be filled with a sinister aura that made one shudder.
A moment later, at the core of the small world, the veiled woman saw nine old men guarding the core of the formation.
There was a total of nine people. The leader was a Peak Sovereign Emperor, and the other eight were peak 6-Vein Sovereign Emperors.
With these nine people guarding this place, as long as the core formation was not completely destroyed, the Smiling Daughter Pavilion would not fall.
This was just the Smiling Daughter Pavilion's strength. The accumulations of the entire Pleasure Quarter Alliance were even more terrifying.
The veiled woman looked at the black-clad old man leading the group and said, "Senior Feng, I already told you to kill him at all costs, even if he really has the Buddhist sect's Golden Letter. Why did you not do so?"
When Yuan Zhen appeared earlier, although the veiled woman was startled for a moment, she still made up her mind to kill Xiao Chen.
She had already reached the point where she had to kill him. If she did not kill him now, she would not have another chance to do so.
It was as the veiled woman expected. First, the Fiendish Saber disciple Lu Benwei appeared. Then, Su Ye led the Hundred Fairies of the Pear Garden to charge over. When the imperial ancestral temple's Imperial Patriarch appeared, she lost her chance.
If Senior Feng had listened to the veiled woman, there might not have been so much trouble.
At that time, Xiao Chen would have died, and everything would have been set in stone. Even if the imperial ancestral temple's Imperial Patriarch arrived, no matter how angry he was, he could only bear the burden in the end.
As for how much rage the Heavenly Alliance would feel for a 1-Vein Sovereign Emperor, it might not be as terrifying as one imagined.
At most, the Heavenly Alliance would come to a compromise and give some benefits to the Heavenly Alliance in the Yanwu Dynasty.
"Pu ci!"
The black-clad old man, who was about to speak, vomited a mouthful of blood, instantly turning incredibly pale.
The veiled woman immediately felt shocked. She quickly asked, "Senior Feng, when were you injured?"
Senior Feng was a 7-Vein Sovereign Emperor, a bona fide Peak Sovereign Emperor. How could he have gotten so severely injured without anyone noticing?
The veiled woman immediately felt somewhat afraid.
Although she felt angry from the start to the end, she had never felt afraid. This was because she knew that the situation had been under her control all along. However, Xiao Chen's resistance was much more intense than she had imagined.
However, no matter what, even if Su Ye led the Hundred Fairies of the Pear Garden over and fought, the veiled woman would not be able to defeat Xiao Chen.
She was confident that she would be the winner.
But now, Elder Feng had been severely injured without anyone noticing, which made her feel that it was too inconceivable.
The black-clad old man shook his head and sighed, "I was severely injured the moment Yuan Zhen appeared. I did not scatter my aura because Yuan Zhen appeared. My soul was injured, and I could barely protect myself. If I had not retreated, my Divine Seal would have been destroyed. "
"Who attacked?"
"I don't know … I really don't know …"
Shock flashed in the veiled woman's eyes. To think that a bona fide 7-Vein Sovereign Emperor did not even know who injured him.
Could it be that an expert stronger than a 7-Vein Sovereign Emperor had been in the small world of mountains and rivers from the start to the end?
"I will report this matter to the Saintess and let her handle it. Elder Feng, you should focus on recuperating. There is no need to think too much."
For the first time, the veiled woman felt that things were out of her control. Tonight's events were more unusual than she had imagined.
However, it did not matter.
The wedding between Ling Long and the First Prince had already been announced. All that was left was for the Holy Daughter to complete her task.
Most importantly, the First Prince's betrothal gift was in his hands.
A key appeared in the veiled woman's hand. It was the key to the Immortal Palace!
"We can forget about today's matter. But no matter what, we cannot allow anything to happen to this wedding."
Outside the Smiling Daughter Pavilion:
Xiao Chen took out the Ethereal Immortal Palace key and handed it to Yuan Zhen. He said softly, "As you wish. I'll return this key to you."
Yuan Zhen smiled faintly as he received it and carefully put it away. "Benefactor Xiao is indeed straightforward. I did not accompany you to the Smiling Daughter Pavilion in vain. This little monk will take his leave first."
After glancing at Xiao Chen, Yuan Zhen pressed his palms together and chanted a Buddhist name before turning to leave.
"This monk is a little odd."
Su Ye commented softly as she watched Yuan Zhen leave from the side.
Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "He is indeed very strange. He is different from all the monks I have seen. Sometimes, he does not seem like a monk. Sometimes, he seems more like a monk than anyone else. I cannot understand him. However, I have to thank you this time. The Hundred Fairies of the Pear Garden really put in a lot of effort for me. "
"Hahaha! If it were someone else trying to kill you, I might not have helped you so much. However, if it were that little bitch from the Smiling Daughter Pavilion, I would help you even at the cost of my life. "
Xiao Chen thought to himself, Speaking of strange people, you are actually rather strange as well.
Speaking of strange people, there is actually a very strange person beside me.
"Uncle, stop pretending to be drunk."
Xiao Chen looked at the beggar that Ling Yu was supporting and shook him. In the end, the beggar fell to the ground like mud.
Xiao Chen bent over and checked the other party's breathing. Then, he frowned slightly. "You are really drunk …"
