The Emperor of the Three Realms

chapter 45

Jiang Chen still came home with quite a large catch after the trip to this palace.    

Firstly, although this sword did not look much, it gave Jiang Chen the feeling of meeting an old friend.    

In addition, Princess Gouyu's plan to arrange for some men for her can overcome her critical condition, one of which is a fire that burns her eyebrows.    

Although his personal strength had improved greatly lately, his personal strength was not fully capable of handling the huge vortex in the capital, which could deteriorate at any moment.    

If some good people could be sent, at least it could free Jiang Ying and allow her to stay inside the palace and lead the matter with a calm mind.    

It was already night time when he returned to the palace.    

Jiang Chen sat down cross-legged. The nameless sword was propped up in front of him.    

A man and a sword sat facing each other under the moonlight.    

Circulating the huge waves of true qi within his body, the current Jiang Chen was a gigantic whale that crossed the vast ocean.    

Great waves of true Qi were constantly being pulled by him and circulating around him, like waves of the ocean, expanding layer by layer.    

Under the starry sky, Jiang Chen's huge wave of true qi was engulfed in a silvery-white radiance of splendor, adding radiance and luxury to each other with the crescent's arch. A layer of silver light glittered, giving off a mystical feeling.    

Right now, Jiang Chen was truly like a little dragon playing around in the waves, as he circulated his original qi nonchalantly. His soul was like a god dragon traveling to the ninth heaven, free from obstacles and without burdens.    

The splendor emanating from the numerous stars in the sky was actually indistinctly forming a strange flow, forming a kind of strange circulation with huge waves of true qi being guided by Jiang Chen.    

At that moment, the orbiting stars looked like the eyes of the ancient gods, sending warm glances to this public place in unison.    

Suddenly, a strange thing happened!    

The nameless sword that was propped up in front of him, like a ninth heaven precious jewel hidden in the dark ages, suddenly released a stunning beam of splendor.    

When this splendor shot forth, it went straight towards the sky dome like a towering beam and hung upside down from the Milky Way!    

It was as if the world from ancient times had hurriedly glanced at – at a glance as if an ancient god had opened his eyes once more.    

This brilliant splendor was like a lightning strike in the sky – faded after passing by.    

At the next moment, this nameless sword emitted a low resonance wave and buzzed. The whole scabbard started to shake.    

Waves of terrifying strength, as if uncontrollable, burst out from its scabbard.    

It was as if enormous ancient demons broke through their seal – as if an earth-splitting light was also erupting from earth – as if tens of thousands of ferocious beasts were going to come out of their enclosure…    

At this moment, Jiang Chen suddenly opened his eyes and used his right hand to lightly press the scabbard. “Mean, does this mean you're awake?”    

Jiang Chen's press was like a powerful and mighty seal, suppressing all impulses at once – of his aura and wildness.    

The glove in Jiang Chen's hand slightly moved a few times, and then paused obediently.    

Then, a strange circle of light radiated rapidly from the sword hilt as it covered Jiang Chen's entire body.    

At that moment, the man and the sword became one.    

It was as if a solemn and dignified ceremony had been completed, the perfect union had been completed.    

In the next moment, a thought flashed across Jiang Chen's mind. This blade had established him as his master and had acknowledged him as his master!    

When this thought flashed through his mind, a wave of quiet self-possession passed through Jiang Chen's entire body; it was as if a protective talisman had been planted in his body. An overwhelming sense of security permeated his entire being.    

In an extremely secretive place in the Eastern Kingdom, a shocked expression suddenly emerged from the eyes of a mysterious elder. Looking at the brilliant splendor that crossed the sky like a meteor, his eyes were filled with shock, astonishment, and even a hint of fear.    

“Scary splendor; could there be a very strong person passing by?”    

If Eastern Lu was present, he would definitely recognize this old man. He was a dao spirit practitioner who had been a hermit for hundreds of years, the legendary figure of the Eastern Kingdom!    

The next day, Princess Gouyu did bring four people. More precisely, four strong people. They were all practitioners in the advanced realms of true qi.    

“Jiang Chen, these four people are all from the Sheng battalion of Commander Tiandu. You can call each of them, Sheng One, Sheng Two, Sheng Three, and Sheng Four.”    

Sheng One was average-bodied, roughly thirty years old. His eyes are experienced and his movements are sharp. It was obvious from one view that he was the leader among the four, and was actually a true qi practitioner of nine meridians.    

Sheng Two and Sheng Three were a pair of twin brothers, all strong at the hips, and with a springy back like a tiger. Their bodies were filled with wild power and had eight meridians of true qi.    

Sheng Four was a young man in white, no more than two or three years older than Jiang Chen. Her personality is the same as her appearance, cold and aloof – gives the impression of others as unapproachable and not talkative.    

“Do the four of you know your duty?” Gouyu asked.    

“Obey the orders of young duke Jiang, even if it means venturing into the mountains of blades and seas of fire or nests of dragons and nests of tigers. To protect young duke Jiang, with our deaths before the failure.” The fourth response was sharp and sharp.    

"Very good. Young Duke Jiang was an important person for the royal family. The four of you are now on a royal mission. Remember, don't lose face for your Sheng battalion; don't lose face for your Tiandu Commander.”    

“We'd rather die than lose face!”    

Gouyu was quite satisfied with his fourth appearance. His eyebrows shot up, and with a slight smile, “Jiang Chen, what do you think of these four people?”    

“Their strength is quite good and they listen to the commands. I think I can use it.” Jiang Chen also did not avoid giving face to Gouyu.    

Princess Gouyu was actually afraid that Jiang Chen would say silly things again. The worry in his heart was resolved after hearing his words.    

“Oh right, Jiang Chen, I received an invitation from the Hall of Healing this morning, inviting me to see some sort of pill exhibition tomorrow. What the hell is going on? Didn't the Pill King Garden hold a pill exhibition? What does this have to do with the Hall of Healing?”    

Jiang Chen chuckled, “Heavy grade spirit medicine in the capital is not limited to just Pill King Garden. After all, when was the turn of Pill King Garden leading the way in the capital?”    

“How is the situation?” Gouyu was very curious.    

“You'll know the specifics tomorrow, won't you? You have to go, there will probably be a big red envelope.” Jiang Chen smiled and was unwilling to say more regarding the matter.    

“What red envelopes, I'm not interested in that. But, it seems that once again there is a good show to watch. That, I can't miss it. Are you leaving tomorrow?”    

Jiang Chen waved the invitation in his hand. “How can I be absent at a pleasant moment?”    

As they were talking, Jiang Fu led someone with a sullen and grim face. Jiang Fu knew how to behave in a difficult situation and bowed when he saw Princess Gouyu, speaking to Jiang Chen afterwards. “Young Duke, this guy says he's from Pill King Garden. He said they would hold a pill exhibition tomorrow, and they invited our Jiang family to witness it.”    

The person's face was smart and displayed a smile of a despicable person who was aware of his ambition. His voice was loud and audible, “Young Duke Jiang, in the end, your Jiang family once partnered up with Pill King Garden. We'll have a large-scale event tomorrow. What do you think, will you show us your face?”    

Jiang Chen glanced at the invitation he had brought, but did not accept it. He nodded, gesturing for Jiang Fu to accept the invitation.    

Jiang Fu was also a smart person. When he received the invitation, he respectfully opened it and placed it in front of Jiang Chen.    

Jiang Chen looked at it for a while and smiled faintly. “I am someone who does not give face, and only denies it. Are you sure you welcome me?”    

"Welcome? We will surely welcome you. Heh heh, but tomorrow, our Pill King Garden will deny the face of others. If the young Duke likes pleasant moments, be careful not to miss them.”    

The man smiled proudly and left while turning around. He did not seem to recognize Princess Gouyu, and would naturally not pay attention to the proper greetings for a princess.    

“Pill King Garden, indeed a despicable person who embodies his ambitions.” Jiang Chen observed that this person did not even have basic politeness, ignoring a princess, of all people.    

It had to be said that the Pill King Garden had become too arrogant, a bit too arrogant.

Inside Pill King Park.    

Court Chief Wang and several high-ranking executives from the Pill King Garden were also present.    

Among them, Lord Violet sat in the middle, surrounded by a crowd.    

“Mr Violet, everything is ready. All we're waiting for is to amaze the world with one brilliant feat at tomorrow's pill fair.” Court Chief Wang looked like a cat that ate a canary, and the overwhelming excitement characterized his traits. “This Dragon and Tiger Blood Pill has such potential that, once circulated in the market, it will definitely occupy half the market, and it is not even difficult to open a market in sixteen neighboring countries. Plus our three-pronged approach with our Qi Charging Pills and Stork Heart Pills, and with enough time, our Pill Killing Garden will definitely replace the position of the Healing Hall.”    

“Yes, tomorrow, we can first slap the face of the Hall of Healing hard.” The other Garden executives laughed. “Hall of Healing has always maintained its grip on the healing elixir market. When our Dragon Pills and Tiger Blood are available, let's see what other pill medicines do they expend to compete with us in the future?”    

The impact on the Hall of Healing if it defeated them in three different arenas would definitely be huge.    

The senior executives of the Pill King Garden could almost see the day that the Pill King Garden replaced the Hall of Healing. Even thinking of such a scene alone was enough to make their emotions uneasy.    

Master Violet said weakly, “ Refusing face to the Hall of Healing is just the first step. Moreover, the Hall of Healing was an extremely large figure, and their Lord Hallmaster was no easy character. Don't think everything is that simple. We must cooperate with the Duke of Soaring Dragon, otherwise, it is impossible to replace the Hall of Healing in the short term.”    

Master Violet's gaze was extremely cruel. He knew clearly that if the Duke of Soaring Dragon could not replace the Eastern clan, then the Pill King Garden would absolutely be unable to replace the Hall of Healing in the short term.    

This is the bigger picture.    

However, Master Violet was also very confident that this bigger picture would definitely turn around with the arrival of her, Master Violet. And, such a reversal will definitely start with the pill exhibition tomorrow!    

Everything was prepared, the day that the Pill King Garden had long awaited had finally arrived.    

The weather is great, the sun is bright without clouds in the sky. This seemed to illustrate that the future of Pill King Park would be truly smooth and bright    

Jiang Chen came out of the secret training room in the morning, and walked to the largest market, the Myriad Treasure Palace in the capital, after he finished enjoying breakfast, while being escorted by four practitioners from the Sheng battalion.    

The Pill King Garden had long appointed a greeter at the entrance of the Myriad Treasure Palace. When they saw Jiang Chen's arrival, all the greeters in the Park showed shock.    

In the eyes of the Pill King Garden, as long as the head of the Jiang family was still properly installed, it was impossible for them to attend the event today.    

If they came, no doubt they would make things unbearable for themselves. After all, the Pill King's Garden was to increase their prestige and deny the faces of others today. If the Jiang family came, wouldn't that mean entering the lion's den?
