41 Chapter 32

Xie Lian knew,

This must be something left behind by Hua Cheng. He held it in his hand,

After pondering for a moment, he thought, "What is this?"

When he was the crown prince, Xie Lian grew up in the imperial palace of Xian Le Country. Xian Le Country had always loved beautiful and precious things, and the imperial palace was even more extravagant.

Gold was the pillar,

Jade was the step,

There were countless rare treasures, and the children of nobility often played with all kinds of gems like marbles.

Xie Lian was used to seeing treasures,

Looking at this ring, it seemed to be polished from diamond.

However,

The shape of the ring was beautiful,

Even the most skilled craftsman would not be able to polish such a natural beauty. It was more sparkling and translucent than all the diamonds he had seen.

It was even more resplendent and bright, captivating people.

He couldn't tell what it was either.

However, even if he couldn't tell what it was,

In any case, it was definitely something very valuable and important. Moreover,

Since it was worn on his neck, it couldn't have been accidentally left behind. It could only be a keepsake that Hua Cheng gave him before he left.

Receiving the keepsake,

Xie Lian was somewhat surprised. He smiled slightly and decided to keep it. The next time he met, he would ask the youth why he gave it to him. He only had a small and shabby Taoist temple and no place to hide treasures. After thinking about it, the safest way was to keep it close to his body. Thus, he put this extremely thin silver chain back on.

After making two trips to Mount Yu Jun and Ban Yue Pass, Xie Lian lay paralyzed in the Pu Qi Temple for a few days. If it wasn't for the overzealous villagers coming over from time to time with some steamed buns and porridge, he was afraid that he would have been paralyzed like this for the past few days. After a few days, Ling Wen suddenly informed him, "Hurry up and ascend."

Listening to her tone, it seemed that something bad had happened. Xie Lian more or less guessed it and was already prepared. He asked, "Is it about Ban Yue Pass?"

Ling Wen said, "That's right. After you return to Immortal Capital, come directly to Divine Martial Hall."

Hearing Divine Martial Hall, Xie Lian was startled. He knew that Jun Wu had returned.

Ever since he ascended for the third time, he had never seen Jun Wu. As the number one martial god, he was either in seclusion all year round, patrolling the border, or going to Zhenshan Sea. He had to make this trip no matter what. Hence, Xie Lian did not rest for a few days before he returned to the Immortal Capital.

The divine palaces of various immortals and gods were gathered in the immortal capital. They formed a city, each displaying their own strengths. One side was richly ornamented, while the other side was a small bridge with flowing water. Celestial winds blew all around, and clouds filled the air beneath his feet.

There was a main street in the Immortal Capital, the Divine Martial Street. Although the human world had also built many Divine Martial Streets in memory of Jun Wu, as mentioned before, many things in the human world were just imitations and projections of things in the Heavenly Realm. Therefore, only this street in the Immortal Capital was the real Divine Martial Street. Walking along this wide street, Xie Lian walked towards the Divine Martial Hall. Along the way, he encountered many God Officials who were in a hurry, but none of them dared to pay attention to him.

In fact, in the past, when Xie Lian walked in the Heavenly Palace, no one paid attention to him. However, at that time, "no one paid attention" referred to the fact that none of the immortal officials would come up to walk alongside him, nor would they take the initiative to chat with him. However, they would still nod and greet him politely. Now, they really pretended not to see him, as if looking at him one more time would bring disaster upon themselves. Those in front of him walked quickly, while those behind him walked slowly. They only hated that they couldn't keep a distance of eight feet from him. Xie Lian had long since become accustomed to this, so he didn't think much of it. After all, he had just dragged down a powerful upstart General Pei. It would be strange if he didn't walk further away. Who knew that as he walked, he would suddenly hear someone shout from behind him, "Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Hearing this, Xie Lian was surprised. He thought to himself that the person still dared to call out to him at this time was truly courageous. However, when he turned around to look, the young God Official who had called him "Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince" had hurriedly passed him and ran towards another person in front of him. As he ran, he said, "Aiyo, my Royal Highness the Crown Prince! You went to the Divine Martial Hall to discuss matters, how could you forget your waist tag? How are you going to get there?! "

Only then did Xie Lian react. No wonder, this "Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince" wasn't addressed to him. In the Heavenly Court, there were originally quite a few Crown Princes, so calling them out wasn't anything strange.

However, when his eyes swept over and swept over the other Crown Prince in front of him, he was slightly startled.

That youth had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and a smile on his face. This smile was different from the smiles of the other Heavenly Officials in the Heavenly Court. It was a kind of hearty smile without any scheming, causing that clearly handsome face of his to carry a kind of childishness. If it were a slightly harsher Heavenly Official to evaluate him, such as Mu Qing, they would probably say that this was an idiocy.

He was dressed in military attire, looking extremely handsome. However, what he exuded wasn't the murderous aura of a soldier on the battlefield. Instead, it was the bright and open noble aura of a royal family. Xie Lian stopped walking and stared at that youth in front of him. Meanwhile, the two people in front of him sensed that he had stopped walking and also turned around to look at him. When that young God Official saw him, his expression immediately changed. Xie Lian nodded slightly and said to that youth with a smile, "Hello, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

That Crown Prince was obviously someone who normally didn't care about matters and didn't recognize his face. Seeing that someone was greeting him, he immediately smiled brilliantly and replied loudly, "Hello!"

The young God Official beside him quietly pushed him and said, "Let's go, let's go. Your Royal Highness, we still have to go to the Divine Martial Hall to discuss matters."

That youth was completely unaware and didn't react at all to why his subordinate suddenly pushed him. He asked strangely, "Why are you pushing me???"

Xie Lian burst out laughing. That young God Official pushed him even harder and urged, "I'm afraid that the Emperor has been waiting for a long time. Your Royal Highness, let's go!" That Crown Prince could only look back at Xie Lian in confusion as he walked forward.

After they left, Xie Lian remained in the same place. Not long after, the whispers of a few Heavenly Officials drifted into his ears from afar.

"… This is really awkward. It's a small world, ah."

"We're all in the Heavenly Court, this day will come sooner or later. In my opinion, General Nan Yang and General Xuan Zhen are more interesting to watch. "

"Haha, what's the rush? Aren't we going to fight soon? They're all waiting for him in the Divine Martial Hall. "

Suddenly, someone said, "It's a small world, it's not a big deal. It's true that comparing oneself to others is infuriating. Everyone is different. They are all Crown Princes. His Highness Tai Hua has the aura of nobility. If it was him, he would not do such a shameful thing even if he is down and out. "

"The Yongan Kingdom is stronger than the Xian Le Kingdom, so of course the Yongan Kingdom's Crown Prince is also stronger than the Xian Le Kingdom's. It's such a simple principle. "

The Northern Martial God was Pei Ming of the Bright Light Palace; the Western Martial God was Quan Yizhen of the Extraordinary Heroic Palace; the Southeastern Martial God was Feng Xin of the Southern Yang Palace; the Southwestern Martial God was Mu Qing of the Profound Truth Palace; and the Eastern Martial God was Lang Qianqiu of the Tai Hua Palace.

Lang Qianqiu was the same as Xie Lian, he was also a Crown Prince. Moreover, he was the Crown Prince of Yong An Country. And Yong An Country was the country that replaced the Xian Le Kingdom. The founding ancestor of Yong An Country was the leader of the rebel army that broke through the Xian Le Imperial City.

When Xie Lian wandered the mortal world, he had also been to the East. Naturally, he knew that this Crown Prince of Yong An Country had also ascended. Since they were both gods, he had long anticipated that the two Crown Princes would sooner or later bump into each other in the Heavenly Court, so he didn't think much of it. Those gossiping little Heavenly Officials said they were whispering, but in reality, they weren't so quiet. If it was someone else, they might be afraid of being heard. But even if Xie Lian heard them, they probably wouldn't be afraid. It would be better to say that it was more exciting to be heard by him. Xie Lian pretended not to hear anything and walked forward without consulting anyone. At this time, another person called out from behind, "Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Xie Lian thought to himself, "It can't be, again?" This time, when he turned his head, he discovered that the person calling him was really him. Ling Wen had two dark circles under her eyes, and in her hands were a few scrolls. She walked over and said, "Everyone who has returned has gone to the Divine Martial Palace to discuss official matters. When you arrive at the palace, you have to be careful."

Xie Lian naturally knew what was going on and said, "What do you reckon will Little General Pei be sentenced to this time?"

Ling Wen replied, "Exile."

Xie Lian thought to himself, "That's actually not bad, it's not considered heavy."

Exile was considered a "temporary demotion". It was equivalent to the Heavenly Officials committing a crime. However, this matter wasn't completely non-negotiable. There was still a chance for them to be reinstated. If they performed well one day, who knows, they might be able to fish their way back. There was a chance for them to be reinstated for thirty to fifty years, or even one or two hundred years. However, when he said "not bad", that was naturally according to his standards. For General Pei, it wasn't the same.

Xie Lian thought of another matter and said, "Oh right, Ling Wen, last time I told you about the youth on Mount Yu Jun who was infected with the Human Face Plague. How is your investigation going? Is there any news? "

Ling Wen replied, "I'm truly sorry, Your Highness the Crown Prince. For the time being, there isn't. We will continue to speed up our investigation."

Even if it was a Heavenly Official from the Heavenly Realm, it wouldn't be easy to find a single person in the boundless sea of people. Their speed had indeed increased, but it was only at the level of ten years in the mortal world and one year in the Heavenly Realm. Xie Lian said, "It's been hard on you." At this moment, he just happened to reach the end of the path. A majestic palace appeared in front of him.

This palace had been tempered by the passage of time. However, one could only see the vicissitudes of time, yet one couldn't see any signs of age. The glazed golden roof of the palace flickered with a dazzling radiance. Xie Lian raised his head to take a look. Under the golden roof, the three words "Divine Martial Palace" were bold and forceful. They were still the same as they were several hundred years ago, without the slightest bit of change. Lowering his head again, he lifted his foot and entered. Inside the main hall, several Heavenly Officials had already gathered. Some stood in twos and threes, while others stood alone without speaking.

Those who were able to stand in this hall were all Heavenly Officials who had experienced ascension. Not a single one of them wasn't a proud son of heaven, an overlord of a region. Each and every one of them was brimming with spiritual energy, looking down on others with disdain and disdain. Xie Lian was dazzled by the sight of them. At this very moment, all of them were concentrating their attention, not daring to raise their voices. A white-armored Martial God sat on a throne at the end of the hall.

This martial god had a handsome face. His eyes were closed and he didn't speak, appearing extremely solemn and serene. Behind him was the brilliant Divine Martial Palace, and beneath his feet was the summit of pure white clouds. After Xie Lian entered the palace, he seemed to have sensed the martial god's arrival and opened his eyes.

Those eyes were extremely black and extremely clear, as if they were formed from the snow of a ten thousand year cold pond. After opening his eyes, this martial god faintly smiled and said, "Xian Le, you've come."

Xie Lian slightly bowed his head towards him, not saying a single word.

When Jun Wu opened his mouth, he didn't make any sound, yet his deep voice resounded throughout the entire Divine Martial Palace. The gazes of the other Heavenly Officials in the palace all converged on him. He was well aware of what was going on. It‌ ‌appeared‌ ‌this‌ ‌meeting‌ ‌wasn't‌ ‌for‌ ‌discussing‌ ‌General‌ ‌Pei‌ ‌Junior‌ ‌and‌ ‌the‌ ‌Banyue‌ ‌Pass‌‌ scandal.‌The‌ ‌spotlight,‌ ‌it‌ ‌seemed,‌ ‌was‌ ‌on‌ ‌him.
