In the square, everyone was fixated on Si Huang’er.
A Saint Monarch, a powerhouse standing at the pinnacle of the Canglan Continent’s pyramid, knelt before a Divine Infant Realm Peak cultivator for the sake of his family’s younger generation. Even though she is the daughter of the Great Emperor, this was enough to shock everyone.
A Saint eting the emperor’s daughter doesn’t have to salute — this was proclaid by the Canglan Great Emperor himself, aid at highlighting the Saint’s status, and encouraging everyone to cultivate diligently.
The Saints and Saint Monarchs present gave respects to Si Huang’er to honor her as the favorite daughter of the Canglan Great Emperor, and now with a Saint Monarch kneeling, even Si Huang’er must carefully weigh the pros and cons!
Should she continue with her iron-handed suppression, or let the Qin Family off to gain the gratitude of a Saint Monarch family?
"Qin Wanlin, are you challenging my sister? A Saint Monarch strong one kneeling to a Divine Infant Realm empress, trying to stir sympathy from the crowd?"
A cold voice sounded, and two figures appeared in the air above the square.
"Brother!"
Si Huang’er’s expression brightened, and she called out.
In the air above the square, a middle-aged man wearing a golden dragon robe stood with his arms crossed, looking coldly at Qin Wanlin below. Beside him, a sleepy-eyed elder seed to be dozing.
"Greetings to the Crown Prince!"
Everyone in the square was astonished for a mont, quickly bowing in respect, not expecting even the Crown Prince to appear — today’s events had indeed escalated greatly!
Jiang Chen also followed the crowd’s gesture, while keeping an eye on Si Wenkang.
Si Wenkang gestured to the crowd, glanced at Jiang Chen, and showed a hint of helplessness.
He had rely heard that this kid was participating in the Alchemy Dao competition, wanting to see his alchemy skills, but unexpectedly had to clean up after him again.
"Greetings, Crown Prince. This old man dare not coerce the little princess, only seeks a thread of survival for my Qin Family!"
Qin Wanlin’s face turned unsightly.
The Canglan Great Emperor had not interfered with worldly affairs for years; for nearly a millennium, it was this Crown Prince governing, his iron-fisted reputation spread across the Canglan Continent. To say who the various forces of the continent least wanted to et, it would definitely be this Crown Prince. Seeing him ant soone was destined for bad luck.
"Does going to the Extraterritorial Battlefield necessarily an death? Are you shaking the courage of our Canglan Continent’s cultivators?"
Si Wenkang snapped coldly.
Qin Wanlin felt his heart quiver, it was over, the Qin Family was done for, the Crown Prince’s attitude explained everything!
"Qin Wanlin, I’m giving you three days for all your Qin Family mbers to return to either the Lieyang Domain’s Sect Master or the Elixir Divine City’s branch. Three days later, the Canglan Army will arrive; any missing person and the Qin Family will be eradicated! Ten years later, the Qin Family can return without penalties!"
Si Wenkang looked at Qin Wanlin coldly, speaking decisively.
The hearts of people in the square sank — the matter had been solidified, with Si Wenkang personally announcing it, no one dared to plead for the Qin Family!
"Yes!"
Qin Wanlin responded with a pale face; not responding would an defiance, and with Si Wenkang’s style, he would definitely put the Qin Family on the Decree of Execution list!
"Jiang Chen."
Si Wenkang turned to look at Jiang Chen: "Due to your matter, we lost a Saint Expert, though the person was killed by Jin Ang, you were the cause. If you cannot demonstrate your value, there will be a spot for you in the Extraterritorial Battlefield’s Vanguard Army!"
Everyone paused and turned to look at Jiang Chen, confusion apparent in their eyes.
"Brother!"
Si Huang’er’s face changed, calling out.
"Huang’er, leave this matter to !"
Si Wenkang glanced at Si Huang’er.
The people from the Feng Family showed joy, while those from the Long and Lei families appeared worried. Lei Ling’er again took out the ssage Transmitting Jade Slip, staring intently at Si Wenkang.
"Crown Prince, the person was actually ..."
Jin Ang frowned, clasping his fists as he spoke.
"Grandpa Jin!"
Jiang Chen softly called out, stopping Jin Ang, and looked up at Si Wenkang.
"Kid, you have quite the courage, daring to kill Lin Zhong. Though you weren’t wrong, he was nonetheless the commander of the Canglan Army, and the bond among the Canglan Army is deep. So commanders are secretly investigating Lin Zhong’s death, and so suspect you, knowing you will compete, waiting for you in Canglan City."
A voice quickly resonated in Jiang Chen’s mind:
"If you don’t want to be targeted, showcase your abilities and let them fear you, giving Huang’er an excuse to help you. For instance, if news of Huang’er’s punishnt spreads, it will influence her, but if you’re exceptionally gifted, that influence will be minimized!"
Jiang Chen paused, glanced at Si Huang’er on the high platform, pondered slightly, and clasped his fists towards Si Wenkang: "May I inquire, Crown Prince, how should I display my worth?"
"I heard not only are you to participate in the Alchemy Dao competition but also the Formation Dao competition and Canglan City’s final competition, is that correct?"
Si Wenkang smiled, showing a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
He knew Jiang Chen’s backing — the Gold-devouring Rat Clan, Changlin Academy, and even that person from Changling Academy.
If Jiang Chen asked that one from Changling Academy, he might not need to face any punishnt. Although that person was of the sa generation as him, he did not want to provoke him — that was a madman who was both unreasonable and protective, and if he found out about today, he might just slaughter the Qin Family outright!
With these supports yet willing to accept punishnt, Si Wenkang’s opinion of Jiang Chen increased slightly.
However, he did not know Jiang Chen was unaware of the identity of the black-robed teacher.
"Yes!"
Hearing this, Jiang Chen looked a bit surprised at Si Wenkang and nodded slightly.
He wasn’t surprised that Si Wenkang could find this out. After all, he was the Crown Prince; if he wanted to investigate him, it was a very easy task, just bewildered as to why Si Wenkang was so fixated on a Divine Infant Realm cultivator like him.
Was it because of Si Huang’er? No way, right?
After thinking about Si Huang’er for a mont, Jiang Chen started to have doubts.
"He understands formation techniques!?"
"He is also planning to participate in the final competition of the Canglan Domain?"
"No wonder the little princess values him so much, he is a polymath!"
"But, studying so much at once, can he truly master it?"
"At just Divine Infant Realm, dabbling in so much; isn’t he afraid of biting off more than he can chew!"
Whispers rose, and those around him regarded Jiang Chen with eyes full of surprise.
"Good, if so, I’ll set a standard for you — in the Alchemy Dao competition, secure a top five position, in the Formation Dao competition, secure a top ten position, and in the final combat competition, secure a top three position. If you achieve this, you’ll be exempted from Vanguard Army duty; if not, don’t bla . In the current situation, a Saint on the Extraterritorial Battlefield is a rare combat power!"
Si Wenkang nodded, speaking with deep implication.
Jiang Chen, since you are the Life Origin Star’s commander, your leadership skill must be exceptional, strive to showcase it. When on the Extraterritorial Battlefield, I can also place you directly into a command and combat position, offering you so protection.
Young man, don’t hide anymore!
