Into The Sky

In the imperial palace of the Southern Tang Empire, Xu Chen was holding an oil umbrella as he walked down the long jade steps.

He arrived at the palace at the very top, put away the oil umbrella, and pushed open the door to enter.

Upon entering the hall, Xu Chen saw Lin Yueting, dressed in a white robe, sitting at a round table made of white crystals. She was flipping through books like a prideful fairy.

Xu Chen walked to her side and sat down. He picked up the tea set on the table and prepared to brew the tea.

"Why did you suddenly think of this place? I remember that I haven't been here since I left last time." Lin Yueting was a little curious about Xu Chen's arrival.

"If I told you that I was here to avoid my enemies, would you believe me?" Xu Chen calmly said.

"Really? I would like to see it for myself." Lin Yueting disapproved.

As Xu Chen was cleaning the tea set, he looked at Lin Yueting and said, "You should have let me go."

"Do you really hate me that much?" Lin Yueting wrinkled his brow.

"You know that's not what I'm talking about." Xu Chen said.

"Is that so?" Lin Yueting flipped through the book, but it was unknown what he was thinking. "I'm a little curious about what kind of person your enemy is."

"Let's wait and see." Xu Chen smiled, then began to make tea seriously without saying anything else.

To make tea, one needed to be calm, or to be meticulous and steady. If one had a bad disposition, to make tea, they would only be like a tiger drawing a cat, appearing to be ostentatious.

On the other hand, Xu Chen was calm, so when he made tea, he was very pleasant to watch.

After Xu Chen finished brewing the tea, he poured a cup for Lin Yueting.

Lin Yueting picked up the cup of tea, took a sip, and carefully savored the taste.

"Good tea!" Lin Yueting drank a lot of tea, but none of the tea she drank was as delicious as Xu Chen's. She couldn't help but praise it.

Meanwhile, in the tallest building of the Northern Sky Bearing House, Jiang Baiqiu had just told Yang Yanjue about the news of Li Qinghou's return.

"Xu Chen isn't dead?" Yang Yan Jue's sword-like eyebrows were sharp as a blade, but at this time, his face was somewhat grave!

"Yes, it is said that he has already gone to the Eastern Divine Region, and Qinghou has already rushed there." Jiang Baiqiu said with an ugly expression on his face.

"How could Xu Chen not die?" Yang Yan Jue's eyes flashed with a bright light.

Yang Yan didn't know what had allowed Xu Chen to survive, but he was sure that Xu Chen had obtained a Heavenly Grade cultivation technique.

This was what Yang Yan Jue feared the most, because the female emperor was a former example after all!

Jiang Baiqiu naturally understood what Yang Yan was implying, but there was still a big problem at hand.

"What should we do about the Xu Clan?" Although Jiang Baiqiu was asking about the method of handling it, he was actually asking about how it would end!

"Wait a little longer." Yang Yan Jue's meaning was clear. If they waited any longer, they would fall into his trap!

However, as they were speaking, a paper crane flew over from the east, directly flying into the tallest building!

Yang Yan Jue frowned and grabbed the paper crane in his hand.

When he opened up the paper crane to take a look, his expression became even more solemn.

Because this letter was very heavy, so heavy that even Yang Yan Jue could feel the pressure!

This letter was not long, only two sentences!

"If you don't touch me, I won't touch you!"

The letter was signed with the word 'Xu Chen' written on it. The word was elegant, but it weighed as much as a thousand kilograms!

Yang Yan definitely understood that Xu Chen was reminding him that he was still alive, so the Sky Bearing Empire should not go overboard!

"Ah, Xu Chen, you must be thinking too highly of yourself!" Yang Yan Jue's face darkened as he crushed the letter into powder.

After which, Yang Yan Jue took a step forward and his silhouette vanished from where he stood.

The next moment, he reappeared in a beautiful mountain.

He took another step forward, appearing above a certain river in the North River.

He did not pay attention to the swift river water beneath his feet as he took another step forward as if strolling leisurely in a park.

Yang Yan Jue was tracking Xu Chen's divine power. As long as he followed the aura Xu Chen left behind, he would be able to find him.

That was why Yangyan Jue had personally come out from the north. Even though he had used up a lot of his divine power by doing this, even he might need to rest for a period of time in the future.

But as long as he could catch Xu Chen, any price would be worth it!

When he reappeared, he was already in the room that Xu Chen lived in.

Yang Yan Jue only took six hours to travel from the Northern Lands to the Eastern Divine Region.

The shop assistant who was cleaning the room was startled when he saw a middle-aged man with a threatening aura suddenly appear in the room.

The waiter nervously looked at Yang Yan Jue, unable to say a word.

"Have you seen this person before?" Yang Yan Jue extended his hand to control his divine power, causing Xu Chen's profile image to appear in his palm!

"Large... Lord, yes. " The waiter stammered as he nodded his head.

"Where is he?" Yang Yan Jue frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"He … He said to go... Central State … "Alright." That shop assistant couldn't take Yang Yan's look anymore. He was so scared that he quickly fell to his knees, thinking Yang Yan was going to kill him.

"Lord, I don't know anything. Don't kill me, don't kill me …"

However, when this little fellow raised his head again, Yang Yan Jue was no longer to be seen.

If he hadn't already wet his pants, this little fellow would have thought that he had just had a nightmare.

After Yangyan Jue left the tavern, he appeared on a bustling street in the imperial city.

A monstrous aura burst forth from his body, and his divine strength was like a massive wave, rippling through the entire imperial city!

"This is!" Lin Yueting, who was in the imperial palace, felt this powerful and unbridled aura. He stood up in shock.

"It seems like my enemy is here." A faint smile appeared on Xu Chen's face, but there was no trace of fear on his face.

"This person is really strong, much stronger than me. Aren't you afraid!?" Lin Yueting felt a sense of power, as well as a sense of fear from the bottom of her heart.

"Why should I be afraid?" Xu Chen calmly picked up his cup and took a sip of tea.

The reason why Xu Chen was so confident was because he wasn't afraid that Yang Yan would definitely notice his existence.

Because the Dusk Spell cultivated the purest divine power in the world, when Xu Chen did not use it, there would not be any divine power in his body.

Thus, no matter who it was, no matter how strong he was, he couldn't find Xu Chen through Xu Chen's divine power!

Sure enough, after that divine force rippled through the imperial city a few times, it stopped moving. It was as if it didn't find the person he was looking for.

Six hours later, Yang Yan Jue returned to the tallest building in the Sky Bearing Empire.

Yang Yan Jue seemed to have overused his divine power as his face turned slightly pale. Even though he was strong, and was a top Ranker in the Eastern Xuan Continent.

However, it was a huge drain on him to travel across a continent like this. He was not as relaxed as he appeared on the surface.

"Inform the other three Heaven Palaces to withdraw the people besieging the Xu family." These were the first words that Yang Yan Jue said when he returned to the Sky Bearing Empire.

"Understood." Jiang Bai Qiu didn't ask where Yang Yan Jue had gone during these six hours, because he knew in his heart.

The Martial House Master, Yang Yan, had returned without any success.

"Go to the Central Region." Yang Yan Jue squinted his eyes and said.

Yang Yan Jue knew that the Xu family was no longer important. What was important was Xu Chen.

Yang Yan definitely knew what the consequences would be if he didn't catch Xu Chen. He was well aware of how much power Xu Chen held in his hands.

And most importantly, Xu Chen had a very high chance of obtaining a Heavenly Energy Stage cultivation technique!

"Then what about the Eastern Divine Region?" Jiang Baiqiu probed.

"Let Marquis Li Qinghou continue his journey to the Eastern Divine Region. He was the one who escaped. If he can't find him, then there's no need to come back!" Yang Yan said.

"Got it." Jiang Bai Qiu bowed respectfully towards Yang Yan, then retreated out of the room.
