Heavenly King Tongtian, Gu Xuan!
Three days before Yingtian Academy's holiday, Gu Xuan temporarily stopped cultivating and arranged everything properly. Although he had nothing to worry about, some of his friends were still struggling in difficult times.
Gu Xuan had never been afraid of a person's success. In his opinion, it was normal for a person to help his friends and family after he had achieved something. On the contrary, it was shameful to forget his friends for the sake of his own reputation.
Wang Sen, Han Zhong, Chen Mang, Zhao Mayi, these friends were arranged by Gu Xuan. With his reputation, it was enough to deter ordinary people from having any ideas about them.
"Lord Gu Xuan, the Cloud-Piercing Crane has been prepared for you."
Two people stood respectfully in front of Gu Xuan. Behind them was a Pinnacle Venerable Level Cloud-Piercing Crane.
After Gu Xuan was bestowed the title of King, all his treatment was arranged according to a true King Level expert. Because Gu Xuan didn't have a mount, the Second Prince specially chose a Pinnacle Third Level Cloud-Piercing Crane for Gu Xuan.
"Okay, let's go back to Zhenshan County." Gu Xuan nodded and jumped on the back of the Cloud-Piercing Crane.
The two also jumped on the back of the Cloud-Piercing Crane. One of them smiled respectfully at Gu Xuan. "It's no longer Zhenshan County, but Heavenly King Tongtian City."
Gu Xuan smiled faintly. "Let's go."
The two looked dignified and controlled the Cloud-Piercing Crane to soar into the sky. The two of them were the keepers of this Cloud-Piercing Crane and could be considered as Gu Xuan's subordinates. They knew their master's identity. If they didn't serve him well, the consequences would be very serious. But if they could climb up Gu Xuan's branch, the two of them would have endless benefits.
"Tsk tsk, Gu Xuan, the Second Prince really thinks highly of you. He gave you, a Xuan Level expert, with two Venerable Level guards. You must be the so-called leader of the Tianlong Guards." Yun Xi clicked her tongue in wonder.
Gu Xuan shook his head and smiled. Two Venerable Level guards raising a Cloud-Piercing Crane for him. This treatment wasn't something an ordinary King Level expert could get.
…
At this time, Heavenly King Tongtian City had changed greatly.
Although it was still the same citadel, upgrading from a prefectural city to a king-class city was no small change. The original Marquis Mansion had been demolished and rebuilt three times its original size. It was now King Heavenspan Mansion.
A group of people waited respectfully in front of the Heavenly King's residence.
Among this group of people, many of the original forces of Zhenshan County City were present. However, their positions were rather far back. Even the owner of Zhenshan County City, the Duke of Zhenshan, was not at the front.
All of the forces under King Heavenspan's jurisdiction were present, including one royal city and thirteen counties!
There were a total of thirteen people who had been conferred the title of Marquis by the Great Barren Dynasty. There were four second-class Marquises and nine third-class Marquises.
As an ordinary force, the Gu family's ranking was also quite ordinary.
The factions that originally belonged to the Zhenshan County City were also being ostracized at this moment. The establishment of the Royal City and being able to develop in the Royal City was the most promising thing. However, the few major factions in the Royal City were still not strong enough. Naturally, the factions in the other counties had some ideas.
"Tian Mo, let's endure for now. Although the royal city is good, we Gu family don't care about it. When Gu Xuan breaks through to the Venerable Level and is conferred the title of Marquis, we will be the most powerful force in the county." Gu Sen looked at Gu Tian Mo and said in a low voice.
"Second uncle, I understand these principles. I was just angry for a moment." Gu Tian Mo also replied. His expression was somewhat ugly.
The forces in Zhenshan County City were being pushed aside. The Gu family was naturally the first to bear the brunt. Gu Tian Mo was also provoked by a few peak Xuan Rank martial artists.
"King Heavenspan is on his way," Gu Sen said. "As a member of his territory, we have to welcome him with utmost respect. If we make the slightest mistake, and give him a bad impression, it could be a big problem. They provoked you in the hopes that you wouldn't be able to restrain yourself. If King Heavenspan got angry, the Gu Clan would be in grave danger."
"I was too impulsive." Gu Tian Mo nodded. Although the Gu family was ranked first among the three major families in Zhenshan County City, it was still not enough in front of the forces in the other second-class counties.
Suddenly, a loud and clear cry of a crane came from afar. This sound pierced through the clouds and cracked rocks. Many Xuan Rank and Venerable Level martial artists were shocked.
The Cloud-piercing Crane was equivalent to a peak Venerable Level martial artist. To them, it was a terrifying existence.
"King Heavenspan is coming!"
Everyone in front of the King Heavenspan Residence stood up straight with a nervous expression. They would be working under King Heavenspan in the future. Naturally, they had to seize this opportunity to leave a good impression.
Not long after, a huge white crane flew through the clouds and stopped in the sky above the King Heavenspan Residence. Everyone looked up and saw two martial artists in armor. Their bodies were completely black, and there was a fiery-red dragon imprinted on their chest!
"It's the Scarlet Fire Winged Dragon. Both of them are commanders of the Heavenly Dragon Guard. They must be Venerable Level martial artists!"
When everyone saw the ranks of the Heavenly Dragon Guard, they all sucked in a cold breath. Even if a King Level martial artist was assigned a few peak Xuan Rank martial artists as followers, it would be good enough. When one reached the Venerable Level, one would want to be a lord. There were not many people who wanted to be a Heavenly Dragon Guard, let alone followers.
Therefore, not every King could have a Venerable Level follower. But this King Heavenspan had one. This meant that his status was higher than the average King Level martial artist.
The Cloud-piercing Crane retracted its wings and landed steadily, leaving behind a cloud of smoke.
"Welcome, King Heavenspan!"
All the martial artists bowed in unison, then looked at the Cloud-piercing Crane.
"Everyone, be more casual." Gu Xuan said lightly as he jumped down from the Cloud-piercing Crane's back.
"This is King Heavenspan?"
When the martial artists saw Gu Xuan, their expressions froze. They looked at each other. The big shot they were welcoming was actually a teenager?
He was crowned King at such a young age? If it weren't for the two Heavenly Dragon Guard commanders standing respectfully beside Gu Xuan, they would have thought it was a joke.
"What a peerless genius. To be crowned King at such a young age, it will be easy for him to become a true King Level martial artist in the future!" Many martial artists sucked in a cold breath.
If the martial artists in the other counties were just shocked, then the people in Zhenshan County who were familiar with Gu Xuan looked as if they had been struck by lightning. They were so shocked that they couldn't speak.
The King Heavenspan that they looked up to, and even feared, was actually just Gu Xuan?
Gu Sen and Gu Tian Mo were at a loss, as if they couldn't believe their eyes. Was this really Gu Xuan? Wasn't he a young genius who looked like Gu Xuan?
