Chapter 222: Chapter 122: The Nation of Daqi (Part 2)

Just like that.

Su Chen strolled leisurely, walking through the Daqi Imperial City.

The portly noble followed behind him.

After a long while.

The Crown Prince’s Mansion was already in sight. Seeing that no assassins had appeared, the portly young man gradually relaxed and let out a sigh of relief.

’It seems...’

’They don’t dare assassinate me here in the Imperial City!’

’If I’d known...’

’I wouldn’t have forked over those twenty Spirit Stones. It would have been wonderful to spend them at a brothel listening to music.’

The portly man wore a pained expression.

At the same time.

The sky began to dim.

In the distance, atop a pavilion, several terrifying figures in black armor and Ghost Face masks stood with their hands on their blades. Their auras were Merging with heaven and earth; each one was an Innate Realm expert, the pinnacle of the Daqi Country.

They were the assassins!

For the three of them, killing the mere Daqi Crown Prince should have been as easy as turning over a hand.

They even dared to fight their way in and out of the Daqi Imperial Palace seven times over.

But at this moment, they didn’t dare to make a move. They didn’t even dare to stir.

They had locked onto their target at the Reception Platform, but they had followed him all the way here with their hands still gripping the hilts of their blades, not daring to draw them.

"Dammit!"

"Where in the world did that useless Crown Prince find the young man beside him?"

"How can he be so terrifying!"

"He clearly has no Qi aura, just like a mortal, but the moment I think about drawing my blade, I feel a sense that I will die!"

The Three Life-taking Monarchs were renowned as some of the top cultivators in the Daqi Country, yet they had never felt so weak and helpless.

It was as if *they* were the mortals.

And he was a terrifying Innate Realm expert!

"Why haven’t you struck yet!"

"The noble in the pavilion has long since grown impatient."

A Eunuch urged them on angrily.

"This..."

The Three Life-taking Monarchs looked at each other, but still decided to force a move and test the young man’s depth.

The Daqi Dynasty was in the midst of a palace upheaval.

Now.

The one in the pavilion was currently in a position of scorching power. Favored by the Profound Celestial Sect, he was sure to ascend to the throne.

They couldn’t afford to offend him.

"Kill!"

The three drew their blades, and a terrifying Innate Blade Dao Realm erupted from their bodies.

BANG!

But their blades had only just been drawn when, in an instant, they exploded into dust!

In that moment, it was as if, through their blades, they saw the immortal-like young man walking on the distant street disappear, replaced by a terrifying, sky-piercing Giant Sword!

"What?!"

"Sword Heart Clarity!"

"We’re leaving!"

Without a moment’s hesitation.

The Three Life-taking Monarchs turned and fled, riding the wind, without a trace of hesitation. They completely ignored the noble in the pavilion.

’Are you kidding me?’

’The Great Zhou Palace has the deep-seated power of the Royal Race and Supreme Tributors, all of them cultivation titans at the Innate Life-taking level.’

’But Sword Heart Clarity!’

’Out of a hundred Innate Life-taking cultivators, you might get just one with Sword Heart Clarity!’

’Forget about us Three Life-taking Monarchs; not even the Great Zhou Royal Family could suppress someone like that. The only one who could is the Foundation Establishment Immortal Master who guards the mortal world of Daqi.’

What they didn’t know was...

...that quite a few experts at the Foundation Establishment Great Realm had already died at Su Chen’s hands.

"Bastards."

"How dare you ignore His Highness like that..."

「In the pavilion.」

The young Eunuch was annoyed and wanted to say something in anger.

"No matter!"

But the young man in the Silver Robe by the window was smiling.

"A top-tier Innate Great Cultivator with Sword Heart Clarity."

"No wonder they were scared out of their wits!"

"How interesting."

"I wonder where my foolish elder brother met such a prodigy."

What?!

’A top-tier Innate Great Cultivator with Sword Heart Clarity?’

’Who?!’

The young Eunuch was so startled he nearly jumped out of his skin.

’Since when did such a mighty dragon arrive in our Daqi Imperial Capital!’

"In my life, what I love most is meeting heroes and prodigies to drink and talk with. How could I not go and meet such a person?"

The Silver-robed Prince rose and headed downstairs.

「The Crown Prince’s Mansion.」

Two stone dragons stood tall.

Su Chen turned his head, looked at the Daqi Crown Prince, and said one thing.

"The twenty Spirit Stones have been repaid."

’What does he mean?’

The Daqi Crown Prince didn’t understand. He could only stare blankly as Su Chen walked away.

’What a lucky guy.’

’He was caught sneaking in and should have been executed by the Foundation Establishment Immortal Master who came, but I saved him with twenty Spirit Stones. I saved your life, and you don’t even know how to be grateful.’

’Such an insolent madman...’

The Daqi Crown Prince frowned to himself.

However.

None of that mattered anymore.

He was back at his mansion!

He would definitely make that royal brother of his pay!

It was time to let him know the terrifying, deep-rooted power of the Noble Families.

And just what kind of influence his mother’s clan had in the Profound Celestial Sect.

’The bastard son of a Palace Maid dares to compete with me for the throne?’

’How absurd!’

RUMBLE!

From the distant pavilion, a silver carriage came speeding over.

"Oh no!"

"Is that my royal brother’s carriage?"

"He’s coming to kill me himself!"

"Bastard!"

"How dare he?"

The fat on the Daqi Crown Prince’s body, accumulated through a Secret Skill, burned away rapidly, revealing his original handsome appearance. He scrambled and crawled pathetically toward his Crown Prince’s Mansion, shouting at the top of his lungs.

"Protect this Prince!"

Unexpectedly.

Just as the mansion guards surrounded him in a protective circle.

The silver carriage swooped in front of him, then turned and headed toward Su Chen in the distance.

The Silver-robed Prince’s mocking laughter could be faintly heard from the carriage.

"It’s true."

"With that cowardly display, even if the heavens favored you and sent an expert right to your doorstep, you wouldn’t be able to recognize him."

’What does that mean?’

’An expert!’

At the same time.

The carriage caught up to Su Chen on the street.

It slowly came to a stop.

"I am the Third Prince of Daqi, Snow!"

"Sir, I wonder if you might have time to join me at my residence for tea?"

The voice came from the carriage.
