Ye Chen walked out of the Mu Mansion, unable to resist turning back once more to look at the plaque of the Mu Mansion.
Thirteen Daoist Artifacts on the plaque; truly too enticing!
However, it’s only for thinking about, not for taking action.
The task given by Su Yun was completed, and Ye Chen wasn’t planning to linger in Celestial Cyan City. It was important to return, report the task, and then focus on cultivating!
Last night, Mu Qingqing ntioned that as a One-star True Martial Guard, he could already receive so special cultivation resources. He must make good use of them and convert cultivation resources into strength!
Ye Chen marched forwards in large strides, when suddenly, a middle-aged man approached quickly, his face breaking into a smile, saying: "Young Master Ye."
Ye Chen: "Who are you?"
"I am an official from the Celestial Soldier Pavilion, ordered by Pavilion Elder Qi to invite Young Master Ye to visit our Celestial Soldier Pavilion. Pavilion Elder Qi has already arranged food and wine, just waiting for your esteed presence."
So, it was Elder Qi from the Celestial Soldier Pavilion. That guy has a Heaven-Reaching Realm cultivation, which grants him so status there.
But it’s not worth it; too low in rank. If the red-haired, red-bearded Nine Pavilion Master Luo Hong were to invite , that would be more fitting.
Before Ye Chen could refuse, an unforeseen change occurred.
Clang, clang, the sound of armor clashing echoed.
Suddenly, a group of well-trained soldiers rushed over and surrounded Ye Chen!
"Capture him!"
Qi Chuan, standing off to the side, shouted loudly!
In Ye Chen’s eyes, cold light flashed sharply.
Damn bastard, it seems I shouldn’t have just cut off your arm, but should cleave your head off as well!
"I am a True Martial Guard from the True Martial Hall; let anyone who dares try!" Ye Chen shouted coldly, directly invoking the na of the True Martial Hall.
The corners of Qi Chuan’s mouth curled into a sinister smile, saying: "In Celestial Cyan City, the order cannot be disrupted even by the True Martial Hall. Ye Chen, I suspect you are involved in so recent thefts in Celestial Cyan City. You’d better accompany us to the prison for investigation; if you dare resist, there will be no rcy!"
Ye Chen glared at Qi Chuan, his murderous intent completely unmasked.
Qi Chuan felt a jolt inside, his hair standing on end, and quickly stepped back a few paces.
Ye Chen sneered and showed a contemptuous smirk, then looked at the man from the Celestial Soldier Pavilion, saying: "I’m interested in those foods and drinks, so please bring them to the prison!"
After saying this, Ye Chen approached Qi Chuan, saying: "Let’s go!"
Want to play, huh? I’ll play along!
With the relation from the Celestial Soldier Pavilion, Ye Chen knew there would be no real trouble.
He also intended to take this opportunity to test the reliability of the True Martial Hall!
Qi Chuan, claiming to be conducting an investigation, ca to arrest Ye Chen, but with Ye Chen’s status as a True Martial Guard, in broad daylight and under public scrutiny, he couldn’t put Ye Chen in chains, instead he just had a group of soldiers surround him to prevent any chance of him fleeing halfway.
anwhile, Qi Chuan remained at the rear.
He dared not stand at the front, fearing Ye Chen might suddenly attack him with a sword.
The middle-aged man from the Celestial Soldier Pavilion stood frozen in place, then snapped out of it, hurriedly running back to report to Pavilion Elder Qi.
After the middle-aged man relayed the details to Pavilion Elder Qi, his face imdiately lit up with joy.
This was a great opportunity to assist Ye Chen, naturally drawing their relationship closer.
"I’ll go to the prison first, and you head to the True Martial Hall’s branch in Celestial Cyan City to inform them." Pavilion Elder Qi stood up, instructed, and then quickly headed out.
Such matters shouldn’t need to trouble Nine Pavilion Master Luo Hong; just a re Prison Director, Pavilion Elder Qi could handle it by himself.
At this mont, Mu Mansion.
Young Master Mu ran out nervously from the artifact refining room and grabbed the old butler’s arm, asking: "Where is the Ye Chen who just ca from the True Martial Hall?"
The old butler quickly replied: "He... he’s left."
Young Master Mu released the old butler’s arm and said: "I’m going to the True Martial Hall!"
Earlier, he had botched another weapon, casually tossing it aside, just as he noticed the sword he ruined before.
Upon seeing it, he was completely dumbfounded.
The sword had been repaired!
He knew very well how difficult it was to repair a ruined item. Moreover, on the repaired sword’s blade, he found so unique markings!
They were marks that could only be crafted using the complete set of Chaotic Cloak Celestial Spirit Hamr!
A complete set of Chaotic Cloak Celestial Spirit Hamr... this discovery was too astounding. Keep in mind, at Mu Mansion, they only had thirty-five hamrs; the thirty-sixth hamr had long been lost.
If they could continue the legacy of the thirty-sixth hamr, Mu Mansion’s status in Cangzhou’s artifact refining world could be boosted to a higher level!
His dad, known to everyone as the Grandmaster Mu Yi, was in an embarrassing situation due to the lack of the thirty-sixth hamr, easily forging top-grade Daoist Artifacts but unable to create Sacred Artifacts.
And he is already revered as the premier Artifact Refiner in Celestial Cyan City.
If he obtained the thirty-sixth hamr, there’d be a chance to forge sothing beyond Daoist Artifacts, creating Sacred Artifacts, opening a whole new world!
He was completely convinced that the person who repaired the sword must be Ye Chen, because only Ye Chen had entered his artifact refining room!
With his father absent, Young Master Mu felt obligated to shoulder this matter himself.
"Young Master, are you heading to the True Martial Hall to find Ye Chen?" The old butler finally realized.
"Yes." Young Master Mu urgently made his way outside.
"Young Master, Ye Chen... he was taken to the prison by the Qi Family?"
"What?" Young Master Mu paused for a mont, then imdiately said: "Gather all the strongn in Mu Mansion and co with to the prison!"
The old butler was stunned.
What in the world is happening?
Why is Young Master so frantic?
Gathering all of Mu Mansion’s strongn... well, though not particularly formidable, since Grandmaster Mu Yi prefers peace and hasn’t recruited guests.
But Young Master’s action signified a different aning; it ant Mu Mansion was going all in. In Celestial Cyan City, many people had benefitted from Mu Mansion’s favors, and this was an incredibly terrifying force!
On the other side.
The True Martial Hall’s office in Celestial Cyan City.
Tian Bugui, with a cropped beard, straddling a golden blade, was chatting with the office manager.
"Inspector Tian, you’ve wrapped up your tasks recently, not returning to the True Martial Hall; staying here, are you perhaps afraid of Su Yun?"
Tian Bugui snorted, saying: "I am the Hall Master of Bright Hall, she’s just a deputy; why should I fear her?"
"I’ve heard that Su Yun had Grandmaster Mu Yi craft a top-grade Daoist Artifact long whip for her. You better be cautious."
Tian Bugui nearly stumbled off his chair, swearing and said: "I suddenly rembered, it seems so Celestial Eye Race folks slipped away; I must hurry to take another trip, to avoid a major disaster!"
Just then, a middle-aged man sent by Pavilion Elder Qi from the Celestial Soldier Pavilion hurriedly entered. Upon seeing Tian Bugui, his eyes imdiately lit up.
This guy’s tough.
And, Ye Chen is now a mber of Tian Bugui’s Bright Hall.
"Greetings to Inspector Tian!" The middle-aged man from the Celestial Soldier Pavilion quickly saluted, then relayed the situation about Ye Chen.
After hearing it, Tian Bugui was stunned.
Ye Chen?
The lad who helped him slay the Ninth Princess of the Celestial Eye Race?
Didn’t expect he’d really successfully pass the assessnt.
"Inspector Tian, I forgot to ntion earlier, Ye Chen has been recruited into your Bright Hall by Su Yun." The True Martial Hall’s branch manager in Celestial Cyan City added.
If it was him handling it, it would indeed be tricky, but with Tian Bugui here, things were easy.
Upon hearing this, Tian Bugui flew into a rage, his long knife swishing out of its sheath.
"Have the Qi Family grown lion-hearted and dared to arrest my Bright Hall’s man? If I don’t unleash my fury, they’ll think the Bright Saber King Tian Bugui is a paper tiger?!"
With that, brilliance filled the room, and Tian Bugui’s figure vanished in an instant!
