Chapter 882: Chapter 48: Xie Xuanyi!

Amidst the chaos in the Imperial City.

A fiery streak plummeted into the Da Sui Sword Palace Mountain Gate.

This fiery streak came at an extremely fast speed, like a meteor falling, yet the Da Sui Mountain Gate did not raise its great array barrier to block it. A wisp of Divine Thought swept out from the back mountain of Golden Turtle Peak, and Tongtian Law Enforcement personally sent a message to let it through. True Hidden Peak dared not make any obstruction, so this streak of light fell smoothly into the mountain gate.

The fiery meteor landed and spread like a waterfall, revealing a lean man draped in a long red robe.

The next moment.

The surrounding scenes changed, and the scattered fiery light was enveloped by Sword Qi.

Thus, the Fire Master was invited into a small pavilion at the back of Golden Turtle Peak.

“Thank you, Law Enforcement, for receiving me.”

Mist swirling around, smoothing the scorching fiery aura, the Fire Master respectfully bowed to Zhao Tongtian in the distance, his voice respectful.

The Fire Master had long been executing tasks in Da Li.

But back when he was young, he followed by Chen Jingxuan’s side.

Inside the territory of Da Chu, there were still some who knew his true identity—

Zhao Tongtian was one of them.

“I’ve heard about the matters in the Imperial City.”

Zhao Tongtian stood in the pavilion, looking at the Sword Qi Forest not far away, and asked with no expression: “How is the Little State Preceptor?”

Surrounded by mist, it was hard to discern his expression, but a biting coldness emanated from his body.

It seemed, at this moment, his mood was not very good.

Zhao Tongtian and Yan Xin had been quite good friends a long time ago.

All these years, he had been accumulating idle Qi Fortune at Golden Turtle Peak… After Lian Venerate died on the Northern Border Battlefield, a minuscule chance of reincarnation was left behind. To discern this “possibility,” one would need to use the Roundness Instrument, and Zhao Tongtian sent a Qi Fortune Golden Box to the Book Tower every year, but never attempted to peel away the last Cause and Effect Barrier.

Every year, he contemplated whether to use the Qi Fortune Golden Boxes he had saved over the years to activate the Roundness Instrument and confirm the remains of Lian Venerate’s Qi Fortune.

Every year, this thought would be suppressed.

Some truths are best left unseen.

Once seen… there would be no room for maneuver.

The question he pursued…

Life, death.

There was but one answer.

But this upheaval in the Imperial City made Zhao Tongtian realize a more severe problem.

He was a fortunate man, as the answer regarding “Lian Venerate” had already been written on paper, just waiting for him to uncover it.

There were not many papers containing answers in this world.

Chen Jingxuan left the Imperial City, Yan Xin disappeared… The storm stirred by Ren Shou Palace had not yet risen when the “paper” he had treasured for decades was shredded.

If matters developed in the worst direction.

It was likely that the “Qi Fortune” he had saved over the years would be devoured, and the truth about Lian Venerate would become elusive.

“Little State Preceptor…”

The Fire Master gave a wry smile and said helplessly: “Sir can no longer bear this title. He has been demoted, left the Imperial City, and is likely to be gone for a long time.”

“That doesn’t seem very good then.”

Zhao Tongtian mused, glancing at the man in the red robe: “But being able to send you to the Sword Palace means he hasn’t fallen to that extent.”

Da Sui Sword Palace had disciples from True Hidden Peak under Si Qi collecting intelligence across the Four Realms.

The moment the changes erupted in Qingyang City.

Information flowed into the Sword Palace.

Though confined in Golden Turtle, Zhao Tongtian had a grasp of all the happenings outside.

The conflict between Chen Jingxuan and Yan Xie erupted rapidly and ended even quicker… On the surface, it seemed Chen Jingxuan retreated in defeat. The Book Tower, Fangyuan Square, the position of National Master, all were handed over to others, but Zhao Tongtian knew very well that the “titles of office” one held were not important.

The Book Tower Master, the Fangyuan Square Master, the future National Master, were all empty titles.

Just like Zhao Tongtian himself.

If he resigned from the position of Golden Turtle Peak Master, what effect would it have?

Even if he also resigned from Law Enforcement of the Sword Palace, what difference would it make?

Since Chen Jingxuan could dispatch the “Fire Master,” it indicated that the young man still held many important “bottom cards.” The Book Tower, Fangyuan Square, those lost things… would be regained sooner or later.

Zhao Tongtian judged people very accurately.

The turbulent undercurrents in the Imperial City, seemingly ending with Chen Jingxuan’s silent exit, appeared to have concluded.

But Zhao Tongtian knew deep down…

This contemporary dual paragon along with Xie Xuanyi was not someone who conceded defeat voluntarily.

Yan Xin once told Zhao Tongtian that Chen Jingxuan was an “astounding talent appearing once in a millennium.” In merely over ten years of apprenticeship, Yan Xin felt overwhelmed and realized he had nothing left to teach Chen Jingxuan, which is why he entrusted the entire Book Tower to him.

This disciple, Chen Jingxuan, had actually long surpassed his master, Yan Xin.

Little State Preceptor, National Master…

Just titles, just passing clouds.

“Sir sent me to the Da Sui Sword Palace, saying that I must deliver this order to the hands of Law Enforcement.”

The Fire Master respectfully took out a Jade Order.

Although Chen Jingxuan resigned from the position of the Book Tower Master, the two top Yin Gods, the Fire Master and the Snow Master, still only followed his commands. This Jade Order was carved with Divine Thought by Chen Jingxuan on his way out of the city, recording some trigrams he used with the Roundness Instrument.

“…Hmm?”

Zhao Tongtian raised an eyebrow, piqued with interest.

He took the Jade Order.

With just a glance, Zhao Tongtian’s already somber face immediately darkened further with more ominous clouds.

“Ren Shou Palace wants to collect the Da Sui Dragon Vein?!”

The Da Chu Dynasty has a total of four Dragon Veins.

The Imperial City occupies two. The Taoist sect and the Sword Palace each occupy one.

In recent years, Qi Fortune had withered, except for the “Martial Vein Qi Fortune” guarded by Qin Ancestor, which was still fairly good. The Imperial City, Taoist sect, and Sword Palace were all rather bleak. The outcome corresponding to the withering of Qi Fortune was that in a whole sixty-year cycle, only “Wu Zhexian,” a Martial Vein heir, succeeded in promoting to Yang God.
