Chen Zong left quickly as he was worried that those pseudo Transcendent Realm masters would come looking for him again. That wouldn't be a good thing.
The four pseudo Transcendent Realm masters from Ascending Dragon City were very annoyed. Not only did they lose a lot of their men in this operation, they didn't even get any benefits in the end. Compared to them, Long Tie and the scarred man were not only annoyed, they almost vomited blood. They were so close to capturing Chen Zong and getting rid of Chen Zong, but they didn't expect such an accident to happen. Now that Chen Zong had escaped, they didn't know how to find him and kill him again.
Long Tie's heart was filled with deep worry. Chen Zong was such an outstanding genius. The reason why he wasn't strong enough was because he was still young. If he was given more time to cultivate and grow, his future would be limitless. When he came back to seek revenge, it would be quite troublesome.
Since things had already come to this point, there was no turning back. Long Tie could only return to Ascending Dragon City as soon as possible and immediately send a message to the Third Prince to inform him of everything that had happened and see what the Third Prince planned to do.
The two elders of the Nangong Family were very aggrieved. In terms of strength below the Transcendent Realm, the Nangong Family wasn't any worse than a Low Grade Sect. They were even stronger than some of the weaker Low Grade Sects, but because they lacked a master who had reached the Fourth Layer of the Mortal Realm, they couldn't leave the ranks of Unranked Sects.
Now, they were being threatened by a Transcendent Realm master who not only knew about the Nangong Family, but also didn't put them in his eyes.
In order to save their own lives and not bring disaster to the family, the two elders could only choose to compromise and retreat.
…
Dressed in a black robe, it was the Third Prince who had left Ascending Dragon City and was rushing towards the Imperial City.
With the Third Prince's cultivation, it would take him at least a month to return to the Imperial City from Ascending Dragon City. However, the Third Prince's feet were glowing with a yellow light, which doubled his speed. He would be able to return to the Imperial City in half a month.
This kind of treasure that could increase one's speed for a long time was rare. If he wasn't the Third Prince, it would be difficult for him to obtain it.
If it wasn't for hiding his tracks, the Third Prince wouldn't have chosen to act alone. He would have definitely followed the Conqueror Martial Sect.
It had only been less than a day since they left Ascending Dragon City, so they were still far from the Imperial City.
Suddenly, the Third Prince stopped in his tracks. He took out something from his mustard seed bag and placed it between his eyebrows. Not long after, the Third Prince snorted angrily.
"Trash, you can't even do a single thing well."
The Third Prince had already received a message from Long Tie. He had used a special treasure to send messages. It was not easy to forge, so it was very valuable. Ordinary factions would not have such a treasure.
Just as Chen Zong was about to be killed, a Transcendent Realm master had suddenly appeared and intervened. The Third Prince also understood that with a Transcendent Realm master intervening, even if he was present, he probably wouldn't be able to do anything.
Since he couldn't subdue Chen Zong, he wanted to kill him, but he found out that he couldn't kill him. Instead, he let him escape. Once he went deep into the Ascending Heaven Region, it would be more difficult to find him. Moreover, the longer he delayed, the more disadvantageous it would be for him.
"Damn it!" The Third Prince was furious. He smashed a huge rock beside him with his palm, but there was nothing he could do now.
After all, the one in the Imperial City was just a substitute. Even if he tried his best to imitate the Third Prince's actions, a fake was still a fake. If he could avoid appearing in front of everyone, he would avoid any flaws.
However, he couldn't do that now. In order to get rid of Chen Zong as soon as possible, he could only take a risk.
Taking out a communication treasure, the Third Prince sent his own message.
…

In the Imperial City, in the Third Prince's palace.
After receiving the Third Prince's message, the Conqueror Martial Ancestor was shocked. He didn't expect that after setting up so many traps, he still couldn't get rid of Chen Zong. This kid's luck was too good.
Immediately, a dignified look flashed across the Conqueror Martial Ancestor's eyes.
Chen Zong had extraordinary talent. What he lacked was time. Now that he and the Third Prince were like fire and water, if they didn't get rid of him as soon as possible, he might become a big trouble in the future.
Because of this, the Third Prince risked exposing his substitute to send a message to the Conqueror Martial Ancestor.
The Conqueror Martial Ancestor quickly left the palace with the Third Prince's substitute, heading towards the Dragonteeth Guard's headquarters.
The Dragonteeth Guard was in charge of chasing after criminals. In a situation like Chen Zong's, the Dragonteeth Guard naturally had to take action.
The substitute's face was cold, but there seemed to be a trace of anger in his eyes. He looked like he was about to explode in anger. Add to that the fact that the Conqueror Martial Ancestor was accompanying him, and they didn't meet many people on the way, no one suspected his authenticity.
Not long after, the Conqueror Martial Ancestor escorted the Third Prince's substitute out of the Dragonteeth Guard's headquarters.
…
"Brother Chen couldn't have violated the laws of the Imperial City and colluded with criminals." The Ninth Prince's face was ashen, his anger high.
"Ninth Prince, this is the Third Prince's scheme." The Blacksword Master's words were like swords, pointing straight to the heart of the matter.
"Master, I also know that this is Third Brother's scheme. He really put in a lot of effort in order to cut off my wings." The Ninth Prince took a deep breath, calming himself down. "I'm sorry, Brother Chen. I didn't even notice Third Brother's scheme at all."
The Ninth Prince blamed himself. If it wasn't for him, the Third Prince wouldn't have dealt with Chen Zong like this. As the supervisor of the Dragoneye Guard, the Dragoneye Guard had the ability to monitor the entire Dragondiagram Region and was responsible for all information. Yet, he didn't discover the Third Prince's scheme. This was enough to show how secretive the Third Prince's actions were.
"Master, please make a trip to the Ascending Heaven Region and protect Brother Chen as much as possible." The Ninth Prince requested.
Although Blacksword Master was the Ninth Prince's sword teacher, he was still a personal bodyguard. Since he was a bodyguard, he naturally couldn't disobey the Ninth Prince's orders. However, the Ninth Prince respected Blacksword Master a lot, so it wasn't an order, but a request.
"Ninth Prince, my duty is to protect you." Blacksword Master replied calmly, even though he admired Chen Zong a lot.
"I know, but master, the only person with enough strength on my side is you." The Ninth Prince said, "Moreover, I'm in the Imperial City and have a life-saving trump card, so I'm safe."
"Alright, I'll make a trip to the Ascending Heaven Region." Blacksword Master nodded after a moment of silence, "But, Ninth Prince, I can't guarantee anything."
"Master, just do your best." The Ninth Prince said. Of course, he understood what Blacksword Master meant. Entering the Ascending Heaven Region might not necessarily lead to finding Chen Zong. Even if he found Chen Zong, he might not necessarily be able to protect Chen Zong.
After all, Blacksword Master was indeed the number one expert below the Transcendent Realm in the Imperial City. However, there was no lack of experts like Blacksword Master in the Ascending Heaven Region. Not to mention, the Ascending Heaven Region's way of doing things wasn't like the Dragondiagram Dynasty. If they provoked some extreme Transcendent Realm experts, they might be killed.
But no matter what, just do your best.
…
A few silhouettes quickly left the Imperial City and headed in the direction of Ascending Dragon City. They traveled at full speed as fast as lightning.
There were a total of three people. The leader was the Dragonteeth Guard's Deputy Commander, an Eight Star expert.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Long Hongyan, a pseudo Transcendent Realm expert with Level Combat Strength, and the other two were Seven Star Senior Captains.
In the Dragonteeth Guard, other than those rare Transcendent Realm experts, Commander Long Wulie, a Grandmaster Realm expert, was the leader. Next in line was the Deputy Commander with Eight Star Combat Strength, followed by the Five Senior Captains with Seven Star Combat Strength.
Now, in order to pursue Chen Zong, they had dispatched their only Deputy Commander and two Senior Captains. Including Long Tie, who was still in the Ascending Dragon City, there were a total of three Senior Captains.
It had to be said that in order to deal with Chen Zong, the Third Prince had mobilized most of his forces.
Unfortunately, if it wasn't for the fact that it was difficult to command Transcendent Realm experts, the Third Prince would probably have sent Transcendent Realm experts to pursue Chen Zong. That would be faster and safer.
With the three pseudo Transcendent Realm experts rushing at full speed, they would arrive at the Ascending Dragon City in about twenty days. After that, they would enter the Ascending Heaven Region to pursue Chen Zong.
…
Early in the morning, the sun rose slowly. The warm golden red light shone on the earth, bringing vitality to the world.
The dewdrops hadn't been dried yet. They dotted the leaves and petals, making the leaves and petals brighter and more lively.
A figure came from the distance at lightning speed. His feet were a few meters above the ground, and he flew past like the wind. The leaves and petals trembled as the wind blew past them. The transparent dewdrops on the leaves and petals fell, splashing into countless fine pieces. They reflected the morning sun and glowed with a gorgeous seven-colored luster. It was very beautiful.
Chen Zong didn't stop along the way. He saw a city in the distance. It was Morning Dawn City. However, Chen Zong didn't enter Morning Dawn City. Instead, he went around it from a distance and continued forward.
Along the way, he encountered some troubles, such as Monster Beasts and some bandits.
Ascending Heaven Region was more chaotic than Dragon Diagram Region. Cultivators ran amok and bandits appeared. Many bandits were very strong, but compared to Chen Zong, they were nothing.
Under normal circumstances, pseudo Transcendent Realm experts wouldn't become bandits. Even if they did, they wouldn't be ordinary bandits.
Chen Zong didn't know that in order to deal with him, the Third Prince had first accused him of colluding with the Imperial Dynasty to harm the Dragonteeth Guard. He also sent the Vice Commander of the Dragonteeth Guard and two captains to cross regions to kill him. He also didn't know that the Ninth Prince had sent the Black Sword Sect to cross regions to protect him.
After more than ten days, Chen Zong finally stopped because he saw the second city outside of Morning Dawn City.
The scale of this city was obviously several times larger than Morning Dawn City. The city walls were towering and majestic. The entire city was located on the ground with a black mountain behind it. It looked very stable, like an ancient giant beast that was sleeping.
The aura of this city was very ancient.
Chen Zong walked towards the main gate of the giant city. Outside the main gate of the giant city, there was a moat that was a thousand meters wide. The river water was turbulent and he could vaguely see large fish swimming in the river. Each fish was at least two meters long. He could even see large fish that were more than ten meters long leaping up. The fish scales on their bodies shone with a colorful luster under the sunlight. It was very beautiful.
These fish weren't ordinary fish. They were Monster Beasts. However, they weren't strong. At most, they were equivalent to the Training Realm. Moreover, they were gentle and wouldn't take the initiative to attack others.
Chen Zong's gaze fell on the side of the arch bridge of the moat. There was a black stone tablet that was nine meters tall. On the stone tablet, there were three large blood-red words. At first glance, it looked like a golden spear and armored horse, like the light of swords and sabers.
Hundred Battles City!
