Chapter 1432
Being located right under the emperor's nose, the prices are relatively affordable.
Along the way, Chen Xuan and Bai Li ate and drank heartily, and soon arrived at a vast open area, a square that was a thousand miles in circumference. In the center of the square was a stone tablet a hundred feet high, with a phoenix with outstretched wings carved on it, and a line of pictographic characters clearly visible.
As soon as Chen Xuan saw the characters, he felt a lingering pressure from a celestial being.
Of course, Chen Xuan, the Celestial Immortal, had also come into close contact with it before, but he didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, he scanned the huge mansions and buildings around the square. These more than three thousand huge palaces and mansions surrounding the edge of the square were all branches of the three thousand vassal lords in the capital, which could also be called temporary offices.
Of course, among the three thousand mansions, two stand out. These two mansions, in terms of both scale and area, far surpass the mansions of other feudal lords.
Chen Xuan's divine sense could cover an area of four thousand miles in a single thought. His expression changed as soon as he swept his divine sense across the area, and a murderous intent filled the air. The largest mansion on the east side had three large, elegant characters written on its plaque: Beishan Clan.
The mansion on the west side belongs to another super clan, the Nalan clan, which has a celestial ancestor in charge.
"Nalan clan, just wait. This time at the Immortal Destiny Conference, I'll see how I slaughter all your participating clansmen." Chen Xuan coldly stared at the eight Myriad Manifestation Realm guards at the main gate of the Nalan clan's residence.
“Master…” Bai Li looked at Chen Xuan with heartache and comforted him, “I believe Linglong will be alright.”
Just as Chen Xuan was about to pass through the Nalan family mansion, a divine sense transmission suddenly sounded in his ears: "You brat, why are you so late?"
Bai Rong's second primordial spirit arrived in the capital ten days ago, but Chen Xuan never appeared despite his waiting. Coupled with the news he learned from his master about the upheaval that had befallen the Nalan clan on the Divine Mine Continent, Bai Rong gasped in shock—he hadn't expected Chen Xuan to be so audacious.
wow——
A figure in black landed directly beside Chen Xuan; it was none other than Bai Rong's second primordial spirit.
"Chen Xuan greets Senior Bai Rong." Chen Xuan had a very good impression of Bai Rong. Not only had she helped him many times, but she had also used her privileges to give him a Level 2 God-Slaying Guardian identity card, directly upgrading him to Level 4, and allowing him to obtain the Xuanxiao Fortune Dragon Disc for a short period of time to protect his tribe.
"You brat, did you cause the upheaval in the Nalan clan on the Divine Mine Continent?" Bai Rong asked cautiously as she pulled Chen Xuan away.
"N-no, I don't know. What kind of change are you referring to, senior?" How could Chen Xuan admit it so easily? Unless someone finds out, he will never admit it.
"That's good. I doubt you were qualified to kill twelve immortals of the Nalan clan all by yourself." Bai Rong had of course suspected that Chen Xuan was responsible, but there was no reason for it—didn't he know Chen Xuan's strength?
He would believe it if you said he could sweep through the Myriad Manifestations Realm cultivators of the same level, and he would believe it if you said he could fight a weak third-level immortal alone, but he would never believe it if you said that Chen Xuan could single-handedly traverse the Immortal Rank Formation and kill twelve immortals, a thousand primordial spirits, and tens of thousands of Myriad Manifestations Realm cultivators from the Nalan Clan.
Although it wasn't Chen Xuan who did it, he had personally handed over the information about the Divine Mine Continent to Chen Xuan before, so he was still very worried. Therefore, he gave all sorts of instructions along the way, telling him not to mention any information about the Divine Mine Continent to anyone.
Chen Xuan pretended to be stupid and asked Bai Rong what major event had happened, but Bai Rong remained evasive and said, "Junior, don't ask. You are not qualified to know about this matter."
Chen Xuan smiled upon hearing this, nodded, and did not ask any further questions.
Soon, Chen Xuan was led by Bai Rong to the main hall of the God-Slaying Guard headquarters to report for duty and personally wrote a report on the ranking competition for the God-Slaying Satellite Lord of Qingtian County.
Seeing the noisy hall where many people were reporting for duty, Chen Xuan smiled and said to Bai Rong, "It seems I'm not the only one who's late."
Bai Rong had no intention of answering Chen Xuan's question. Instead, she looked intently at another group of people filling out registration forms and said, "Kid, do you see that boy in red and that girl in blue?"
Chen Xuan turned his head and focused his gaze on the girl in green, saying, "Senior Bai Rong, as you know, I already have five or six Daoist partners, and I really can't take any more. Even though this girl is pretty, it's a pity that I have no interest in romance. I only want to avenge my clan!"
Although Chen Xuan's voice was not loud, it was very penetrating, instantly silencing the originally noisy hall. Many of the monstrous geniuses of the God-Slaying Guard who were filling out their applications frowned and turned to look, including the girl in red and the girl in green.
Turning her head, she saw Chen Xuan's gaze fixed on her, which made the girl in green's phoenix eyes flash with a chilling coldness. The boy in red beside her, seeing that the person Chen Xuan was staring at was the one he admired and pursued, immediately sneered and strode over.
"Funny little guy."
"Isn't that slovenly old coffin-like creature the one who came in last place in the Star Lord ranking competition, Bai Rong?"
"Oh, it really is. But this time they've learned their lesson and only sent a primordial spirit avatar to participate in the event."
The elderly man and middle-aged man leading the group were all among the three chief officers of the three thousand county-level God-Slaying Guard branches. Clearly, they had all met before, and in a sense, the so-called Star Lord Ranking Competition was a contest among the three thousand God-Slaying Guard branches for the cultivation resources allocated by His Majesty the Emperor each year.
Seeing himself become the focus of his peers once again, Bai Rong's face turned pale and then red. If he weren't still counting on Chen Xuan to help him get a higher ranking, he would really want to strangle Chen Xuan right now—it was too embarrassing.
"Hey kid, what's your name?" At this moment, the red-clad youth whom Chen Xuan had unintentionally provoked, along with his group of young Myriad Manifestations Realm God-Slaying Guards, approached Chen Xuan with unfriendly expressions.
Bai Rong, a mere Earth Immortal, couldn't interfere in such a struggle between juniors, so he simply told Chen Xuan to leave as quickly as possible.
But Chen Xuan was a man of great ambition; how could he possibly run away?
Chen Xuan was the only one among the God-Slaying Guards of his generation.
In reality, Chen Xuan was late. He was the last to report to the Qingtian County God-Slaying Guard branch, and no one was there to support him.
However, so what?
Facing dozens of God-Slaying Guards from other prefectures alone, Chen Xuan still stepped forward, a natural smile on his face, looking down at the group of young people, and said: "Before asking others' names, you should first introduce yourself."
Although he was alone, Chen Xuan's demeanor and aura made it seem as if he had a million cultivators backing him up.
