Chapter 441: Da Qian Palace

The extreme west of the Da Qian World, Sheng Yuan Continent.

"As expected of the front line against the Outer Realm Evil Clan, the level of the defensive grand array of Sheng Yuan Cheng must be the pinnacle of the Da Qian World, right?"

Gazing at the light barrier enveloping the entire magnificent city in the distance, with surging spiritual energy and a chilling pressure radiating from it, Bing Di sighed subconsciously.

Since the two left the Heiyuan Yiji, they did not stop for even a moment, heading straight for Sheng Yuan Continent; coupled with the presence of Xiao Han, a Grandmaster of Spirit Arrays, their travel speed reached a shocking level.

Regarding Bing Di's sigh, Xiao Han remained silent, because when he first saw such a powerful Spirit Array, his reaction was no better.

A Saint Grade Spirit Array had almost reached the pinnacle of the Da Qian World, and he was still a long way from that level.

"Is that the Demon Slayer Board?"

At this moment, Bing Di's exclamation interrupted Xiao Han's thoughts, causing him to look up at the stone stele tens of thousands of feet tall standing in the center of Sheng Yuan Cheng, upon which three blood-red characters were filled with a chilling murderous aura, as if poured with fresh blood.

"Demon Slayer Board!"

Although he had already been briefed on the intelligence regarding the Da Qian Palace and the Demon Slayer Board, Bing Di's reaction was still immense.

"There's nothing good to see here."

Xiao Han smiled slightly; without needing to turn his head, he could guess Bing Di's intense curiosity, which was like a savage entering a city, and signaled:

"The real good stuff is inside Sheng Yuan Cheng."

As the two approached, the full view of Sheng Yuan Cheng gradually revealed itself to them; passing the identification of the defensive Spirit Array, the bustling streets came into view.

Just as they entered, Bing Di beside Xiao Han had a stern expression.

The Earth Sovereign powerhouses seen everywhere gave one an illusion, an illusion that this realm, which could almost dominate a region in the Da Qian World, seemed worthless.

However, both Bing Di and Xiao Han were very clear that it was not that Earth Sovereign powerhouses were worthless, but that the strength of Sheng Yuan Continent was too great; as the front line against the Outer Realm Evil Clan, there was simply no room for the weak to survive.

"I say..."

Bing Di could not help but call out to Xiao Han, saying in a deep voice:

"Huan Continent shouldn't be this terrifying, right?"

Huan Continent was the continent where Blade Demon City was located, a continent situated near Sheng Yuan Continent.

The shock Sheng Yuan Continent brought him could not be described in words; perhaps the only thing Bing Di could be glad about was...

Heavenly Sovereigns were not yet rampant in Sheng Yuan Continent; he was still relatively strong.

Hearing this, Xiao Han could not help but laugh, waving his hand as he said:

"I have no intention of throwing my life away."

Xiao Han was just a bit overconfident, not brain-damaged. If the Evil Clan on Huan Continent possessed power comparable to Sheng Yuan Continent, they could completely drown the two of them just by numbers alone.

Let alone just the two of them, even if the entire current Dou Qi Continent were thrown in, it would be of no use.

"Also..." Bing Di still wanted to speak.

"Whatever it is, we'll talk about it later."

Perhaps annoyed by the questioning, Xiao Han grabbed Bing Di's sleeve, and the two stumbled forward along the wide central avenue in a strange posture; the street, which did not look long, took the two of them nearly a quarter of an hour to walk.

"This is the place."

Glancing casually at the tall black pavilion at the foot of the Demon Slayer Board, Xiao Han let go of the large hand that was pulling Bing Di's sleeve.

Just standing in front of the pavilion, a strong sense of oppression and palpitations arose spontaneously.

"Da Qian Pavilion, an organization located throughout the Da Qian World to monitor the movements of the Outer Realm Evil Clan, also responsible for the registration of Demon Slayers; it can be seen as a branch of the Da Qian Palace."

"This Da Qian Pavilion in Sheng Yuan Continent counts as one of the more important ones among all the branches."

Xiao Han introduced the information about the black pavilion in front of them to Bing Di at his side.

"This Da Qian Pavilion... eh!" Just as Xiao Han was about to continue his introduction, he was pulled away, stunned, by an excited Bing Di.

"Let's go."

Passing through the bustling hall, the two's strange posture drew curious gazes from the crowd; to this, Xiao Han could only deceive himself by silently chanting in his heart:

"Can't see me, can't see me..."

Perhaps there was nothing interesting about two grown men, or perhaps their strength was somewhat unfathomable compared to the crowd of Earth Sovereigns, so these gazes were quickly and tactfully withdrawn.

Bing Di pulled Xiao Han to a stop in front of a counter deep in the hall, where the light screen on it kept flickering with characters, clearly corresponding to the Demon Slayer Board outside.

An old man in a blue robe had his legs propped on the counter, lying back on a rocking chair, with a book covering his face, emitting clear snoring sounds.

Seeing this, Xiao Han curled his lips; a dignified Heavenly Sovereign could actually fall asleep in the Da Qian Pavilion, he was afraid he would have his performance bonus deducted.

Familiar with the process, he stepped forward and knocked on the counter, making a "thump-thump" sound, and said quite familiarly:

"Lao Lan, time to work!"

"Who is so inconsiderate... Oh, it's you!"

The blue-robed old man was woken up, and with morning grumpiness, he first angrily pulled the book off his face; upon seeing the figure of the visitor, he paused slightly, and then his attitude took a 180-degree turn.

"You brat, you haven't been gone for three months yet, finished your business? You're back quite fast!"

The old man's smiling attitude stunned everyone in the hall; they were all old hands who hung around the Da Qian Pavilion, so who didn't know that this blue-robed old man was notoriously difficult to talk to, usually wearing a face that looked like he was owed billions of Supreme Spiritual Liquid.

Seeming to sense some "disrespectful" gazes, the old man swept his eyes over the crowd and snorted coldly:

"What are you looking at?"

"Go stay somewhere cool!"

As soon as the words fell, the hall instantly returned to its original clamor, a seamless transition with no sense of incongruity.

"Tsk tsk..."

At this, even Bing Di and Xiao Han, the two outsiders, could not help but twitch the corners of their mouths.

"Yo, are you introducing a newcomer to this old man?"

The old man whom Xiao Han called Lao Lan only then noticed Bing Di following behind Xiao Han, his gaze sharpening.

Experienced as he was, he naturally could see that Bing Di's strength was already at the Heavenly Sovereign level; his heart shook, and he looked deeply at the two for a long time before sighing.

"Tell me the truth, are you two here to fleece my Da Qian Palace?"

Lao Lan was even more puzzled in his heart; he prided himself on having fairly well-informed intelligence, so how could he not know when a Heavenly Sovereign had quietly emerged in the Da Qian World?

If not for the fact that the two had passed through the great formation in front of Sheng Yuan Cheng safely and soundly, he would have suspected whether these two were spies sent by the Outer Realm Evil Clan.

"Look at how you put it."

Xiao Han did not take it to heart, his smile remaining unchanged.

"One more person means one more bit of strength, doesn't it?"

"That is also true."

Lao Lan nodded in agreement; one of the main purposes for the establishment of the Da Qian Palace was to absorb and integrate the super powerhouses of the Da Qian World to jointly resist the Outer Realm Evil Clan, not to mention that it was currently a time when people were needed.

"Follow this old man up."

Lao Lan greeted them and turned to walk toward the stairs behind him; Xiao Han and the Imperial Sovereign exchanged a glance and each followed.

After the three left and disappeared from everyone's sight, the originally noisy hall went quiet for a moment, and then suddenly boiled over.

"Lan Laotou actually went upstairs; who are these two people?"

"Who knows, but their identities must not be simple."

"Nonsense, as if you needed to say that."

"Could they be Heavenly Sovereigns?"

"Perhaps they are."

This showed the discernment of the powerhouses of the Da Qian Pavilion on the Sheng Yuan Continent.

Unlike other places that worshiped super powerhouses like Heavenly Sovereigns, the Da Qian Pavilion was not at all unfamiliar with Heavenly Sovereigns and often discussed and speculated about them as gossip; after all, Lan Laotou, this Heavenly Sovereign, was constantly wandering before their eyes, so they were long since accustomed to it.
