Chapter 597

The Dean perceived it clearly; the power radiated by the young man in front of him was unfathomable, far beyond what he could compare to. The Sage Realm also had its ranks, and the other party was definitely the type standing at the peak!

What's more, the other party was also a high-ranking Holy See official with a monstrous background; a head-on collision would definitely lead to a dead end. Only by lowering his posture immediately could he have a glimmer of survival.

Seeing that his master, whom he considered invincible, didn't even have the thought of making a move and knelt down to plead guilty, the Emperor was stunned, his mouth open wide enough to stuff an egg in.

Li Chen looked down at the kneeling Dean, his tone flat but carrying heart-palpitating pressure: "Oh, it's nothing big. I just saw that there are a few people in your country who have quite a bit of wisdom and want to introduce them to the Holy See to serve the holy light, such as the daughter of Prime Minister Su. Unfortunately, your Emperor seems to not give me much face."

Once the Dean heard this, he turned his head abruptly and glared fiercely at the Emperor who was shrinking behind the dragon chair!

He was in the Sage Realm and was the Emperor's master; reprimanding the Emperor was a matter of course!

That gaze was as sharp as a knife, full of anger at the Emperor's failure to live up to expectations.

The Emperor was scared out of his wits by his master's glare, crawled out from behind the dragon chair, and knelt down with a "thump," kowtowing like pounding garlic:

"It is this Emperor... no, this junior who spoke wrongly! It is this junior who had eyes but failed to recognize the truth! I offended you, Lord! Please forgive me, Holy See Lord! Forgive me!"

Seeing this, Li Chen nodded slightly with satisfaction, and the terrifying pressure that enveloped the entire city quickly receded like a tide, and the phantom of the angel in the sky also dissipated accordingly.

Only then did the Dean secretly breathe a sigh of relief, hurriedly accompanying him with a smiling face, carefully making excuses for the Emperor, and at the same time probing: "Sage Lord, please calm your anger, calm your anger. The new Emperor is young, ascended the throne not long ago, doesn't understand things, and offended you, Lord. Please be magnanimous and don't hold it against him."

He changed the subject and asked extremely respectfully: "I don't know how I should address you, Lord?"

"My surname is Li," Li Chen said indifferently.

The Dean's mind turned rapidly. Surname Li? Which big shot with the surname Li is there among the high-ranking Holy See officials?

He tried to ask again: "You, Lord, don't seem to be from Eternal Day? I don't know where your immortal hometown is?"

"Tian Ce," Li Chen spat out two words.

The Dean's pupils shrank suddenly, and the horror in his heart increased tenfold.

Tian Ce Empire?! His voice even carried a hint of imperceptible trembling, and he almost held his breath as he asked the most critical question: "Forgive this junior for being presumptuous, are you, Lord, of the Tian Ce Li imperial clan?"

Li Chen glanced at him, the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Yes."

"Boom!" The Dean's head felt like it had been hit by a heavy hammer, and he instantly confirmed the identity of the person in front of him!

Tian Ce Empire, Li imperial clan, so young, possessing such unfathomable Sage Realm cultivation—besides that Tian Ce Emperor Li Chen who unified the northern territory and shook the world with his might, who else could it be?!

No wonder he had such momentum! No wonder he even carried the Holy See's purple crystal token with him! Everything could be explained!

The Dean's waist instantly bent lower, and the smile on his face became incomparably fawning and awe-filled, even carrying a hint of excitement: "So... so it is the Tian Ce Emperor! I have long admired your heavenly might; it is like thunder in my ears! To see you today is truly a great honor in three lifetimes! I don't know which lucky person in my Qinglin Kingdom could actually be favored by you, Emperor, personally?"

He immediately turned his head and sternly reprimanded the Emperor who was still kneeling on the ground in a daze: "Stupid! What are you still doing here! The Tian Ce Emperor has come in person; this is the supreme glory of my Qinglin Kingdom! Why don't you go and prepare the grandest state banquet immediately to welcome the Emperor! If there is the slightest negligence, I will never spare you!"

The Dean was naturally deliberately pointing out Li Chen's true identity so that his incompetent disciple could thoroughly recognize the reality.

Hearing this, the new Emperor of the Qinglin Kingdom felt as if he had been struck by another thunderbolt, and he suddenly felt a jolt. Only then did he thoroughly react—the person in front of him was not some ordinary high-ranking Holy See official at all, but the supreme Emperor of that behemoth, the super empire Tian Ce in the north!

"Tian... Tian Ce Emperor! This junior is dull! This junior deserves to die!" The Emperor was scared out of his wits, and the last trace of unwillingness and resentment vanished, leaving only boundless fear.

He crawled up and promised incoherently: "This junior will go and arrange it! This junior will go and prepare the grandest state banquet! I absolutely dare not have the slightest negligence!"

Hua Rumeng on the side had already been shocked, her beautiful eyes wide, her slender hands covering her lips, looking at Li Chen in disbelief.
