In truth, given Yang Xuan's current status, he didn't need to explain anything to anyone. He was just speaking casually, so how could he have thought of Qing Jie's Nine Spirals You Bowels?
"Is there anything I can help you with?" Yang Xuan asked Qing Jie.
Qing Jie sorted out her thoughts, and the cold expression returned to her face. "Thank you, Your Highness."
Yang Xuan knew that she was referring to the boat ride, so he waved his hand and said, "It's fine. After all, we are acquaintances. If you need any help in the future, don't hesitate to ask."
Just as Qing Jie was about to calm down, Yang Xuan added, "If anyone bullies you, just tell them my name and say that you're my slave."
"You …" Qing Jie nearly choked to death. To think that she had a good impression of Yang Xuan just a moment ago, all of that was destroyed in an instant.
"Hahaha!" Yang Xuan laughed when he saw the ugly expression on Qing Jie's face. He turned around and entered the cabin.
After that, the two of them didn't say anything else. Everything was fine.
When the boat finally reached the shore, Qing Jie didn't even bid farewell to Yang Xuan before leaving in the dark.
Yang Xuan didn't think much of it and disembarked from the boat with the four guards.
After leaving this mysterious seaside town, Yang Xuan set off for the Sun Nation.
Not long after he left, Yang Xuan's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he came to a stop.
Feng Shisan came over and asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"
Yang Xuan had a strange look in his eyes. He said, "Wait here. I'll be back soon."
After saying that, he flew to the left.
Even though the four guards didn't know what was going on, they heard Yang Xuan's orders loud and clear. Thus, they stayed where they were and waited for further orders.
After flying for a while, Yang Xuan stopped.
Qing Jie's face was pale, and her eyes were filled with killing intent. She was staring coldly at the person standing in front of her.
The person standing opposite her was a black-robed young master. He was a Semi-Divinity realm cultivator, and his eyes were filled with evil intent.
There were more than a dozen people behind him. They seemed to be that person's guards.
Yang Xuan landed beside Qing Jie and asked with a frown, "What's wrong?"
Qing Jie didn't say anything, but Young Master Hei Zi opened his mouth. "Who are you?"
Yang Xuan ignored him and asked again, "What's wrong? Who was he? Didn't I tell you to report my name? "
Qing Jie looked at him angrily and said, "I'll deal with it myself."
Yang Xuan smiled. "I don't think you can solve it yourself."
After that, he looked at the young master in black and asked, "Who are you?"
The black-clothed young master's expression turned cold. He looked coldly at Yang Xuan and said, "You're also from the Sacred Mountain? Why haven't I seen you before? "
Yang Xuan looked at him but didn't say anything.
Anger flashed in the eyes of the black-clothed young master. Then, he waved his hand.
When the guards behind him saw the signal, their faces turned cold as they surrounded Yang Xuan.
"He's one of the commanders of the Battle Hall," Qing Jie said from the side.
Yang Xuan nodded. When he saw the crowd surrounding him, he suddenly took out an item from his bosom and said loudly, "I am the Azure Sky Saint. I am now exercising my authority to relieve you of your duties as guards. I order you to immediately return to the Sacred Guard Camp and await further orders."
As his voice rang out, an extremely unique fluctuation spread out from the token.
The people surrounding him were stunned when they saw the token in Yang Xuan's hand. But after a while, they reacted.
"We obey the Azure Sky Saint's order!" They all half-knelt and saluted, then flew away without looking back.
No one doubted Yang Xuan's identity.
The tokens of the Sacred Mountain weren't ordinary items. Every token had its own unique fluctuation. So when Yang Xuan took out the token and activated it slightly, everyone immediately knew his identity.
Yang Xuan didn't expect the removal of authority to be so useful. He was a little surprised.
"Subordinate Jin Kui of the Battle Hall greets the Azure Sky Saint."
Just as Yang Xuan was sighing about the removal of authority, the black-clothed man was half-kneeling on the ground, not daring to raise his head.
"Qing Jie is one of my people." Yang Xuan looked at him and said indifferently, "Do you understand?"
"Subordinate understands. Subordinate promises that such a thing won't happen again." Jin Kui's body began to tremble, fear appearing on his face.
If Yang Xuan killed him now, he would have died in vain. There wouldn't even be a place for him to plead for justice.
Fortunately, Yang Xuan didn't seem to have such an intention. He only said to Qing Jie, "I think you should come with me."
For some unknown reason, Qing Jie thought about it and agreed.
Ignoring Jin Kui, who was still half-kneeling on the ground, Yang Xuan took Qing Jie and her two maids and flew into the sky.
After Yang Xuan left, Jin Kui slowly stood up from his kneeling position. The fear and respect in his eyes had completely vanished, replaced by a smear of extremely well-hidden resentment.
Ignoring Jin Kui's complicated thoughts, Yang Xuan returned to the fourth guard with Qing Jie. Without any hesitation, he ordered them to continue on their way.
The fourth guard didn't mind that Yang Xuan had brought Qing Jie back. Anyway, that was the matter of the Azure Sky Saint. It had nothing to do with them.
Nothing else happened along the way. Very soon, they entered the territory of the Sun kingdom.
The Sun kingdom was the personal organisation of the Azure Sky Saint, so he obviously wouldn't be allowed to stay in inns.
Yu Jiu brought Yang Xuan to a huge, luxurious residence in Qingyang city of the Sunwheel capital.
They sat down in an extremely luxurious hall. Before long, someone knelt before Yang Xuan.
"Subordinate Zhong Shu, the leader of the Sun branch, greets your highness, the Azure Sky Saint." The person was extremely respectful, even slightly humble. Due to his excitement, his entire body trembled.
"Zhong Shu?"
Yang Xuan sank into his thoughts. He seemed to have heard of this name before. After thinking for quite a while, he suddenly recalled it.
"You're the richest person in the Sun kingdom, Zhong Shu?" Yang Xuan was slightly surprised.
"I dare not. This is your wealth, your highness. How can I accept such a title?" Zhong Shu bowed even lower as he trembled.
Yang Xuan smiled. Zhong Shu really was right. All of his wealth really did belong to Yang Xuan. He was only temporarily managing it.
"Alright. Stand up and talk," Yang Xuan said indifferently.
Zhong Shu kowtowed again with that before standing up.
"Tell me about the situation here," Yang Xuan said to Zhong Shu.
Zhong Shu said politely, "Not long ago, two sacred emissaries and a Saint came to the Sun kingdom together. After receiving them, I stayed the night. The next day, the three of them went out together, but they never returned. I sent people to search for them. They found their clothes outside the city, including storage rings and all their belongings. Only when I discovered that something was wrong did I report it."
Yang Xuan nodded. It seemed like the three of them were probably dead, or they would not have left their storage rings where they were.
"Alright then. Lead the way. Let's go take a look," Yang Xuan said.
Zhong Shu obviously agreed. He led the way. Yang Xuan did not bring many subordinates with him. He only brought Feng Shisan and Lei Shijiu out of the city with Zhong Shu.
Zhong Shu had reached the Five Qis Unifications realm. By the looks of it, he had already reached the peak.
Yang Xuan followed behind him. He felt rather emotional.
When he came to the Sun kingdom that day, he inadvertently heard people talking about the richest person in the Sun kingdom, Zhong Shu. He was so rich that he could rival a country. He did not think much of it.
But who would have thought that such a reputable rich man was actually the leader of the Saint Mountain, and he had reached the Five Qis Unifications realm. The changes in the world made people feel emotional.
At that time, he thought that the strongest person in the Sun kingdom was Su Zhenguo. Now, it seemed that was not the case.
Not to mention others, Zhong Shu's cultivation was above Su Zhenguo's.
While sighing, Zhong Shu stopped.
"Your highness, this is the place."
