Chapter 2238 Raw 2345, Raw 2344 Nonexistent : The Misty Rain Pavilion Cannot Be Touched; Even More So, Xiao Chen Cannot Be Touched
After sending Su Ye off with her eyes, Mo Chen smiled and murmured, “Speaking in riddles, Big Brother Xiao?”
Xiao Chen replied softly, “I’m not used to speaking that way, but sotis, I do not have much choice.”
There were hidden anings within the casual words. If one were stupid, one would not only misunderstand the other party’s aning but even fall for the other party’s trap, ending up a scapegoat.
Naturally, Xiao Chen was unused to this. However, it was as he said; it was unavoidable.
This was their first eting. Neither trusted the other. Even if one spoke the truth, the other might not believe it. It might even send the wrong ssage.
A casual remark might end up arousing hostility in the other party.
For example, Xiao Chen had sensed the horrifying sword intent in the other party’s body and casually asked about the Sword God’s Noble Clan.
Although Su Ye did not change her expression, her tone clearly turned stiff. She even warned Xiao Chen off discreetly.
Fortunately, he made up for it in the end.
Xiao Chen’s line of hoping that the other party would pull him out if he fell into the river ant that he had no enmity for Su Ye. This made her expression warm.
Speaking of which, Xiao Chen seed to recall that Fiendish Saber Xi Mu ca from the Sword God’s Su Clan.
The Sword God’s Noble Clan possessed deep accumulations and had the Sword God to oversee them.
The Sword God’s existence in the Yanwu Dynasty was like the sun in the sky. The Su Clan had a hand in the establishnt of the dynasty. As long as the dynasty did not fall, the Su Clan would never enter into decline.
Such a Noble Clan could not defeat the Heavenly Alliance with the entire Great Thousand Realms as a stage. However, any super faction had to be wary of them while within the Yanwu Dynasty.
Now, Xiao Chen sowhat understood why a pleasure quarter beca the headquarters of the Heavenly Alliance in the Yanwu Dynasty. It was because the Pavilion Master was Su Ye.
“Nangong Feng, you all go and investigate the ten largest subordinate rchant associations. I want to know the real situation of these ten rchant associations.”
Sending Sovereign Emperors to do such work was making a mountain out of a molehill. However, this would guarantee that nothing went wrong and that the information was true.
“Alright.”
Since Nangong Feng and the others were here, they had to listen to Xiao Chen’s instructions. They had already made the ntal preparations for this.
“Wu ng, please stay behind.”
“Do you have another task for ?”
Xiao Chen nodded and said, “If you were to tail Su Ye, how confident are you of not being discovered?”
Wu ng thought for a while before answering, “About thirty percent. The sword intent in her body is extrely sensitive. I estimate that she can sense any slight movent within one kiloter of her. Given my saber intent, I am not confident of approaching her undetected.”
“You can borrow this for one night.”
Xiao Chen took out the Death God Mask and passed it to Wu ng.
After hesitating for a while, Wu ng put on the Death God Mask. Then, his aura imdiately withdrew.
If not for Xiao Chen physically seeing Wu ng, he would not sense the other party’s presence. The Death God Mask’s effect of isolating all aura remained effective for Sovereign Emperors.
“How confident are you now?”
“Fully confident.”
“Alright. I’ll trouble you with this, then. I need to know who she is eting tonight and what she says.”
“Yes.”
After Xiao Chen made all the arrangents, he left the private room with Mo Chen and Bao`er, going to the residence that Su Ye arranged for them.
The residence was not far away, a detached courtyard just behind the Misty Rain Pavilion.
The imperial capital Yan City was destined not to be peaceful tonight.
Soone had killed Duke Yun’s son in the Misty Rain Pavilion, and Monarch Yu’s group was tossed out instead. News of this matter spread throughout the capital within half a day.
All the top-ranking factions quickly sought information about this. They soon discovered that the youth was the Heavenly Alliance’s Xiao Chen.
These factions dug out the various events featuring Xiao Chen in the Faux God World and even his past in the Divine Dragon Empire.
However, few knew that Xiao Chen was the Rank 6 envoy inspector overseeing the Heavenly Alliance factions in the Yanwu Dynasty.
Only the factions with extrely vast accumulations could find out about this crucial information.
This matter was considered a secret of the Heavenly Alliance. Even within the Heavenly Alliance, only a few of the higher-ups knew about it.
It would be extrely challenging to uncover this detail quickly.

Fla Cloud County, one of the one hundred counties of Yan Province, was Duke Yun’s conferred land.
By the ti Senior Feng rushed back to the Duke’s Residence with his group, the sky was already dark. Heavy clouds covered the sky, reflecting his sullen mood.
“What? Ling`er died?!”
Duke Yun was shocked upon hearing the news, feeling disbelief.
Who would not show so face to the Royal Clan disciples in the Yanwu Dynasty? Even if Wang Ling ignorantly and recklessly offended soone he should not offend, the other party would likely not kill him.
“Young Master...Young Master really died. He died in the Misty Rain Pavilion.”
Senior Feng could imagine Duke Yun’s rage. However, he still explained what happened at the Misty Rain Pavilion in detail.
“Bang!”
Unable to contain his rage, Duke Yun slamd his palm on the thick wooden table, shattering it, as his killing Qi surged out.
Everyone in the huge Duke’s Residence sensed Duke Yun’s rage and murderous intent and trembled.
“n! Bring my command token and gather the Divine Writ Army. I want to wash the Misty Rain Pavilion in blood!”
Duke Yun’s eyes seed like they would spew fire. Even now, he still felt disbelief.
To think that Wang Ling died, my most precious son. I had him made Monarch Yu long ago in preparation for his succeeding my dukeship.
This son of mine gained glory for , becoming the leader of the seven true inheritors of the Divine Sword Pavilion. He even managed to enter the tutelage of Sovereign Emperor Dao Yan.
Wang Ling beca a heaven-defying Sovereign Personage at rely fifty. He would definitely have beco a Sovereign Emperor before the age of one hundred.
However, soone actually killed the son that I dote on the most. Furthermore, the Misty Rain Pavilion even turned things around and wanted to apologize.
How unbearable!
“Duke, you cannot do that. You cannot touch the Misty Rain Pavilion.”
The startled Senior Feng quickly advised against that course of action. He even paled sowhat.
Why are both father and son the sa, going crazy in anger?
Had that Monarch Yu listened to and left, Xiao Chen would not have rembered him. Then, he would not have died so miserably.
“Lord Duke, you cannot do that. You cannot touch the Misty Rain Pavilion,” the two Vice Generals advised from the side in unison.
Duke Yun showed a sullen expression, not speaking for a long ti. After a while, he said, “Activate the ergency transportation formation. I want to et the Eighth Prince.”
“Yes.”
Senior Feng released his bated breath. As long as Duke Yun did not go to the Misty Rain Pavilion, anything else would be fine.
The ergency transportation formation was originally for the Eighth Prince to use when his life was threatened. If the Eighth Prince did not call, Duke Yun was not supposed to activate it.
However, Duke Yun could not care much today.
A light flashed at the transportation formation, and Duke Yun’s group disappeared. Then, they appeared at the Eighth Prince’s imperial residence in Yan City, radiating a strong, murderous intent.
“Duke Yun, the Eighth Prince has been waiting for so ti already. I’ll bring you over.”
Soone was waiting outside the transportation formation of the imperial residence. When that person saw Duke Yun, he showed a strange expression but not one of surprise.

“Eighth Prince, today’s matter...” Duke Yun imdiately said upon seeing the Eighth Prince, wanting the Eighth Prince to get justice for him.
Wang Feng, the Eighth Prince, showed a regal appearance, possessing dashing eyebrows and sharp eyes and exuding a heroic spirit. Despite his youth, he was experienced. His eyes were like deep pools of water, appearing unfathomable.
“Royal Uncle, there’s no need to say anything. I know about that matter. Before you ca, the patriarchs of the imperial ancestral temple already punished . Monarch Yu spoke rudely at the Misty Rain Pavilion, challenged a Sovereign Emperor, and attacked to kill. This resulted in his death. His actions shad the royal family. Due to my connection to you, I got implicated and will be confined for seven days. As for your punishnt, I asked the patriarchs for rcy, and they spared you.”
“What?!”
Duke Yun was stunned after he took in the Eighth Prince’s interruption. The revelation ca like five peals of thunder roaring right above him. This was not the result that he wanted. Even if he could not do anything to the Misty Rain Pavilion, he wanted to kill Xiao Chen.
The Eighth Prince said calmly, “The punishnts of the patriarchs have always been fair. Your son spoke arrogantly and rudely before thousands of people. He even daringly attacked a Sovereign Emperor. The evidence is ironclad; even I cannot overturn it. The Royal Clan disciples are not to be arrogant or egotistic, and should not kill casually. These are the ancestral precepts of the imperial ancestral temple’s patriarchs. Your son broke all of them. I cannot do anything about it.”
Aside from possessing a large portion of the Martial Epoch’s Luck, the Yanwu Dynasty flourished because the imperial ancestral temple’s patriarchs strictly upheld the ancestral precepts, rigorously disciplining the Royal Clan disciples.
No matter what one did in secret, everything would be fine if there were no evidence.
However, if one broke the ancestral precepts, one would be punished no matter what, even if one were a prince.
Duke Yun felt so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. He showed a pale complexion and breathed heavily, panting.
After a long ti, he said with bloodshot eyes, “Alright, I’ll admit to all that. It is my son’s fault for implicating Your Highness. However, I have followed you for so many years. My most beloved son died, but you don’t even make any token actions. He is soone who grew up with you.”
Duke Yun’s aning was very obvious. He did not care about the patriarchs. While it was acceptable to offer compensation and apologize openly, it should be fine to kill soone covertly.
Even if Xiao Chen were a 3-Vein Sovereign Emperor, if the Eighth Prince wanted to, the Eighth Prince had ten thousand ways to kill him in the imperial capital.
As long as the Eighth Prince did not get discovered, everything would be fine.
Duke Yun knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily, the skin on his forehead breaking and bleeding. “Eighth Prince, please take revenge for my son!”
Wang Feng, the Eighth Prince, closed his eyes and said, “If it were soone else, even if he were a 4-Vein Sovereign Emperor or 5-Vein Sovereign Emperor, I would take revenge for you at all costs. This matter impacts my prestige. I cannot possibly ignore it. However, Royal Uncle, you cannot touch this person.”
“What?!”
The kneeling Duke Yun raised his head and stared at the Eighth Prince in stupefaction. If he could not do it overtly or covertly, was he to just swallow this anger?
The Eighth Prince said sullenly, “You cannot touch the Misty Rain Pavilion or Xiao Chen. Even if you do, you have to plan for the long term. Wait for to be proclaid the crown prince first.”
Duke Yun imdiately turned ashen. The Eighth Prince’s words were as good as a dismissal of this matter.
Not only that, but the Eighth Prince wanted Duke Yun not to do anything.
Duke Yun held back his anger. After a long ti, he stood up and said, “This old man understands. This old man has disturbed the Eighth Prince and will leave now. However, this old man needs to understand. Why?!”
He asked the question “why” while practically spitting out blood.
Duke Yun refused to submit. His son had died, but he could not do anything. Furthermore, he had to swallow his anger obediently.
He had wanted the Eighth Prince to help him seek justice. However, he ended up crashing into a wall.
“Because there is a great power behind him!” the Eighth Prince replied, feeling sowhat fatigued. Then, he waved his hand and said, “Please leave. This matter ends here. I repeat myself: you cannot touch the Misty Rain Pavilion and, even more so, Xiao Chen.”
After Duke Yun left, the old man beside the Eighth Prince said, “Duke Yun is probably not resigned to this. Sothing unexpected might happen.”
The Eighth Prince said coldly, “Just leave him be. Let’s see which prince in the imperial capital dares to offend the Heavenly Alliance for him. What an absurd disaster! How could he have such a stupid son?!”
“Pa!”
The Eighth Prince closed the book in his hand and flung it to the floor in frustration. A wind blew, and the fla in the lantern on the table flickered.
The imperial capital would not calm down tonight, just like this flickering lantern fla.
