Saint Sovereign of Nine Heavens

The convoy travelled towards the capital for two full months, and they were finally not far from it.    

    

Chen Yu had been training most of the way. Although it was inconvenient to train in the carriage, the effect wasn't too big.    

    

Occasionally, Chen Yu and Gongsun Zhiwei would ride together to explore the road ahead of the convoy. When they were far away, they would sit by the roadside, drinking and waiting for the convoy to catch up.    

    

After a few times, Chen Yu and Gongsun Zhiwei became more familiar with each other.    

    

The speed of the caravan wasn't slow, but in the end, there would be local Martial Tao Aristocratic Family coming to welcome them whenever they got to the area. Those clan leaders of the Martial Tao Aristocratic Family would meet with Ling Yuxuan with an extremely fervent attitude.    

    

No one knew what exactly Chen Yu was talking about, but looking at the complex expressions of apprehension and hope on the faces of the Martial Tao Aristocratic Family Patriarchs as they left, Liu Tie reckoned that it had something to do with Cyan Sky Origin Monarch's dwelling. After all, there were too many Martial Tao Aristocratic Family s on the way here that dealt with Ling Yuxuan.    

    

Chen Yu and Gongsun Shun chatted a few times. From the information Gongsun Shun revealed, Chen Yu guessed that Ling Yuxuan was using the Cyan Heaven Jade Seal as a bargaining chip to make a big plan.    

    

Of course, this had little to do with Chen Yu. He planned to arrive at the capital and familiarize himself with the situation there before parting ways with the caravan.    

    

What was worth mentioning was that there were also some Martial Tao Aristocratic Family Patriarchs who talked with Ling Yuxuan and angrily left. However, with Luo Hantian overseeing the convoy, they didn't dare to be rash in the end.    

    

Luo Hantian had been in the largest and most luxurious carriage in the caravan, but he had never left the carriage.    

    

When the convoy left Shuntian, they were only a few days away from the capital city. On this day, the convoy proceeded onward, dust rising up into the air.    

    

"Welcome back Madam!" The leader, a man with a deep aura and a peak Profound Dark Stage, jumped down from his horse and spoke loudly.    

    

Over a hundred riders jumped off their horses and said in unison, "Welcome back Madam!"    

    

Afterwards, the middle-aged man brought a few warriors of the late stage Profound Dark Stage with him and walked towards Ling Yuxuan's carriage at the front.    

    

Ling Yuxuan didn't get off the car but said, "So, it's the head deacon. I didn't expect that when I returned to King's City, the head deacon would come thousands of miles away to welcome me!"    

    

"This is only natural!" The middle-aged man who appeared to be in his forties had slightly sunken eyes and an aquiline nose. With a kind of benevolent temperament, he cupped his hands towards the carriage Ling Yuxuan was sitting on and spoke in a deep voice.    

    

On the surface, this middle-aged man's attitude was very respectful.    

    

However, Ling Yuxuan's attitude was thought-provoking as he said, "If that's the case, then I'll have to trouble Chief Deacon to lead the way!"    

    

The middle-aged man stared blankly for a moment before saying, "I've heard that Lord Luo and Mr. Liu from the Wu Steel Manor are in the caravan. Madam, please allow me to greet them first!"    

    

"Lord Luo doesn't need to, he doesn't like to be disturbed. Mr Liu is in the third carriage! " Ling Yuxuan's voice rang out, "Let's go!"    

    

The horse carriage started moving again.    

    

The middle-aged man had an ugly expression on his face, but he still walked towards Liu Xuan's carriage, which was in the third car.    

    

Very quickly, the middle-aged man received Liu Xuan's invitation and entered the carriage.    

    

Chen Yu retracted his gaze, and sighed to himself about how complicated the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce was.    

    

Regarding the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, Ling Yuxuan had explained to Chen Yu before that the middle-aged man that Ling Yuxuan called the Great Deacon should be Feiyun Chamber of Commerce Great Elder Xie Renzu's blood related younger brother.    

    

Even though Feiyun Chamber of Commerce was only a merchant guild, because it was once so large that it was not inferior to a royal merchant guild, the internal affairs were extremely complicated.    

    

In a merchant guild, the one with the most authority was naturally the leader. The leader could decide everything in the merchant guild. However, since the disappearance of Gongsun Feifei several years ago, there had not been any new candidates for the position of the Guild Master.    

    

Under the leader were the three great elders, the ten great deacons, the guest elders, and the ordinary stewards.    

    

The guest elder was not in charge of the company's affairs, but most of them had deep insights in pill refining or array formations, and could be considered a special talent cultivated by the company.    

    

Ordinary stewards were usually the elite and elites of the upper echelons of the chamber of commerce.    

    

In the Chamber of Commerce, the ones who held the true power were the Third Elder and the Ten Deacons.    

    

The three Great Elders were the strongest other than Gongsun Feiyun, and the Great Elder Xie Renzu was the strongest. He had already broken through the Deity Entering Stage for more than twenty years, so his strength could be said to be unfathomable. Second Elder Qin Jiming and Third Elder Wei Duo were slightly weaker, but they were only half a step away from Deity Entering Stage.    

    

As for the ten deacons, they were all experts who could manage their own business.    

    

When Feiyun Chamber of Commerce was at its peak, other than going to the Wilderness, there were also the few other Subordinate Countries that established their own trading routes and went into the Grand Xia Empire to do business.    

    

As for Ling Yuxuan, as the wife of the missing leader, Gongsun Feiyun, she currently held the position of vice president. This position was something that she did not hold before Gongsun Feiyun disappeared.    

    

Xie Renzong's answer to Ling Yuxuan seemed simple and normal, but in reality, it could be seen that the conflict between Ling Yuxuan and the Great Elder's bloodline was very deep.    

    

The caravan continued its journey. Chen Yu did not want to cause any trouble, so he stayed inside the carriage.    

    

Half a day later, people came to greet them. It was the other deacons of the Chamber of Commerce who represented the second and third elders.    

    

Ling Yuxuan was a lot more polite to these people. He got off the carriage and chatted with them for a while before letting the group continue their journey.    

    

Two days later, the convoy arrived at the capital.    

    

The walls towered into the clouds, and the pale-black walls gave off a metallic luster. Chen Yu jumped off the carriage, and by looking at it with his Bloodfire Eye Technique, he could see the marks of array patterns.    

    

A huge visual impact followed. In front of this huge city, a person's strength seemed insignificant.    

    

Looking around, he saw that in the air above the capital, strands of spirit light would occasionally flash, carrying with them a sealing force.    

    

Compared to the Qin Country King, the Bright Moon City was only a small city, and the Imperial City that was governed by the Ruling Spirit Sect could only be considered as a small village.    

    

If the capital was like this, how old would the imperial capital be?    

    

Chen Yu was secretly impressed with the fact that he did not enter the stage and did not know the vastness of the heaven and earth.    

    

People flowed outside the huge city gate, and the caravan was much slower as they slowly entered the southern city gate.    

    

"Meng Yang, how do you feel?" Gongsun Zhiwei had come to Chen Yu's side at some point and asked with a smile.    

    

"A very big city!" Chen Yu smiled and said.    

    

"After entering the city, I'll take you on a tour around!" Gongsun Zhiwei laughed.    

    

"Alright!" Chen Yu obviously wouldn't refuse and nodded.    

    

As he was waiting in line to enter the city, several people on horseback came through the entrance.    

    

The one in the lead was slender, had a valiant face, dressed in embroidered robes, and carried a noble and graceful bearing. However, his imposing manner was not particularly strong, and was most likely at the seventh level of the Spirit Accumulation Stage. However, the few people behind him all had a vigorous and deep aura, each and every one of them were extremely powerful.    

    

"Lady Gongsun!" The newcomer arrived at the front of the convoy and saw Gongsun Zhiwei getting off the carriage. He clasped his hands at her and said, "Congratulations on your safe return, Madam!"    

    

"I see, it's His Highness the Eleventh Prince. I am here to pay my respects!" Gongsun Zhiwei cupped her hands and bowed.    

    

"Greetings, Prince Eleven!" The rest of the team also cupped their hands and bowed.    

    

"Forget it!" The Eleventh Prince waved his hand and smiled: "Madam, I heard that you obtained the Cyan Heaven Jade Seal. Is that true?"    

    

Ling Yuxuan said with a laugh, "Indeed!"    

    

"Can I have a look?" Prince Eleven said without a trace of politeness.    

    

"This place is a little inconvenient, after we arrive at the Chamber of Commerce, how about letting His Highness play with it?" Ling Yuxuan said with a smile.    

    

"Good, good!" The Eleventh Prince was overjoyed. "Madam is magnanimous!"    

    

"Prince Eleven wins!" Beside Chen Yu, Gongsun Zhiwei said to Chen Yu, "She is the young son of His Majesty the king. She has a free and unrestrained personality!"    

    

Chen Yu nodded and asked, "How old is he?"    

    

"Nineteen!" Gongsun Zhiwei said.    

    

Chen Yu couldn't help sighing in his heart.    

    

A nineteen year old martial practitioner of the seventh level of the Spirit Accumulation Stage, in terms of Ruling Spirit Sect and Langya Sword Sect, was simply unimaginable.    

    

In fact, even the sect that Chen Yu remembered as Bloodfire Emperor's origin had never appeared before. Compared to the Qin Country's martial resources, Bloodfire Emperor's innate Profound Heaven Sect was far inferior.    

    

As he spoke, Prince Eleven walked in front of Luo Hantian and started talking to him.    

    

Luo Hantian, who had always been a straightforward person with a proud expression, revealed a rare amiable expression and started to chat with the Eleventh Prince.    

    

Right at this moment, another person spurred his horse over from outside the city gate.    

    

The person in the lead was a man of around forty years of age. His clothes were similarly luxurious, and his bearing was deep. Behind him were a large group of servants with extraordinary strength.    

    

Gongsun Zhiwei's face suddenly changed when she saw this person coming over. She scolded, "It's that old bastard Third Prince, I have to hide for a bit!"    

    

With that, Gongsun Zhiwei quietly walked to the back of the caravan and entered the pile of goods on top of a horse carriage.    

    

Chen Yu was stunned. Then, a trace of pity flashed across his eyes. He and Gongsun Zhiwei could already be considered friends. Seeing Gongsun Zhiwei show such a rare flustered expression made him feel quite uncomfortable.    

    

In the blink of an eye, Third Prince had already arrived.    

    

Ling Yuxuan didn't dare to be slow and went forward to greet them. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Third Prince walked towards Luo Hantian.    

    

After another round of pleasantries, Third Prince was very respectful towards Luo Hantian.    

    

After greeting each other, Luo Hantian said, "Your Highness' request has been completed. I will leave first!"    

    

"Thank you for your trouble, sir. I will go to sir's residence to express my gratitude later!" Third Prince said.    

    

"No need!" However, Luo Hantian said, "I have to go into seclusion for a period of time. If there's nothing else, don't disturb me!"    

    

With that, Luo Hantian nodded towards Ling Yuxuan, who was thanking him. He suddenly turned his head towards Chen Yu and loudly said, "Meng Yang, if you encounter trouble that cannot be solved, you can come to the Eastern Sword Divine Palace to find me!"    

    

With that, Luo Hantian left.    

    

However, the moment Luo Hantian said this, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.    

    

Including Ling Yuxuan, everyone looked at Chen Yu in surprise.    

    

Watching Luo Hantian leave, Chen Yu's astonishment did not lose to that of Third Prince and Ling Yuxuan.    

    

Chen Yu knew that just Luo Hantian's words alone were enough to make him run amuck in the capital!
