Chapter 212: You're a Member of the Demonic Sect, Aren't You, Kid?

~8 min read 1,416 words

"Hey! Where are you putting your hands?"

Jun Tianling shouted upon seeing this.

"It's all your own body anyway, what's the harm in touching it?"

Jiang Xun said, and gave it another squeeze.

"Is that the same thing? I'm telling you, take your hands off right now, or I'll deal with you." Jun Tianling threatened.

Not taking direct action was only out of consideration for Jiang Xun having helped her twice.

"Alright, alright, alright." Jiang Xun nodded, took his hands away, and then carefully felt this Saint's body.

Goodness, the Spirit Power inside felt simply inexhaustible, and extremely formidable.

If his own original body had this kind of strength, let alone going to Tianwai Island to win the challenge and protect the Lingerie-Sect, even if he just showed up, the Tianwai Island Master would have to kneel before him, right?

If Jun Tianling were to slap Jiang Xun across the face, being reduced to ashes would be the least of it; having his soul scattered would be a light consequence.

"You listen to me well, if you really encounter someone above the Integration Realm moving against you, immediately let me take control of the body, otherwise the moment you lose focus, you might get me killed." Jun Tianling subsequently instructed.

"Fine, got it." Jiang Xun nodded, then immediately deployed the Crimson Wings.

In just the blink of an eye, he had already appeared above the Imperial Palace.

Jiang Xun then directly released the aura of a Saint; all the cultivators within the Imperial Palace instantly opened their eyes, broken out in a cold sweat from fright.

Cultivators above the Integration Realm also hurriedly released their own auras to provide a weak deterrent, in case the Saint suddenly attacked.

Jiang Xun immediately retracted his aura and headed toward the direction where the aura had been strongest just now.

As the Crimson Wings shifted, Jiang Xun arrived before a majestic palace hall; outside the hall, many soldiers were vigilantly watching their surroundings, each one a cultivator above the Golden Core stage.

Standing before the palace gates were several Nascent Soul stage guards clad in armor.

It seemed that inside was the current Emperor of the Tang Ming Dynasty, that is, Tang Ying's younger brother, Tang Shanhe.

The aura he had emitted just now was that of an Integration Initial Stage Peak.

For the strength of a dynasty's Emperor, it was simply pathetic.

"This Tang Ming Dynasty really has no Saints left, what on earth happened?" Jun Tianling couldn't help but ask.

"The Tang Ming Dynasty had internal strife, the former Holy Emperor went missing, and the current Holy Emperor just took office." Jiang Xun explained, then instantly rushed into the hall.

Everyone in front of the door was caught off guard; they could even be said to have seen nothing at all, only seeing the palace doors suddenly open.

"Quick, protect His Majesty!"

The Nascent Soul guards at the door hurriedly shouted, simultaneously grabbing their weapons to charge into the hall, and the Golden Core soldiers also swarmed up one after another.

"All of you, stand down!"

Inside the hall, Jiang Xun held a soul-suppressing weapon, bracing it against the neck of the man who had just sat up on the bed, forcing the man to shout.

"Your Majesty, are you safe?"

One of the guards asked, also cautiously probing the aura inside.

But with his strength, he was completely unable to detect Jiang Xun's presence.

"It is fine, close the doors and leave."

The man said in a deep voice; feeling the Saint's aura before him that was almost crushing him to the point of suffocation, he dared not act recklessly.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the guards closed the palace doors.

Only then did Jiang Xun slowly move the sword away from the man's neck.

As for the others in the room, they had all been knocked unconscious.

"Who are you, Excellency? Visiting in the dead of night, what is your purpose?"

The man looked at the black-robed figure before him with lingering fear and asked; he couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman, but he could smell a faint fragrance, it should be a woman...

"Tang Shanhe?" Jiang Xun tried his best to lower his voice, speaking in a neutral tone.

"It, it is I." Tang Shanhe, as an Emperor, was being addressed by his full name, yet now he didn't dare to have even a shred of temper.

Jiang Xun yanked Tang Shanhe off the bed, then sat on the bed, resting one foot on the bed frame and propping his arm up.

The feeling of bullying an Integration Realm Venerable was truly satisfying.

"The Tang Ming Dynasty has now become a vassal of the Lingyun Dynasty, right?"

Jiang Xun continued.

Tang Shanhe, who had been thrown off the bed, climbed up from the floor with a look of helplessness and nodded repeatedly: "That is correct."

"Do you want to break away from the Lingyun Dynasty?"

"This..." Tang Shanhe was stunned upon hearing this and began to hesitate; he was wondering if this person before him was sent by the Lingyun Dynasty to test his loyalty...

"How can you say such a thing? The Lingyun Saint Emperor saved my Tang Ming Dynasty from the depths of misery; if not for the Lingyun Dynasty, I fear our dynasty would still be in the midst of internal strife, unable to recover."

Tang Shanhe said.

He neither said he wanted to break away, nor that he didn't want to.

"Rest assured, I am not from the Lingyun Dynasty. I can help you break away from the Lingyun Dynasty, but you must do one thing for me."

Jiang Xun saw through Tang Shanhe's worries and said.

Tang Shanhe was silent for a moment, thinking about many things.

The person before him was undoubtedly a woman; there had been no rumors of any female Saints in the Lingyun Dynasty, so she shouldn't have been sent by the Lingyun Dynasty...

But could she be someone else collaborating with the Lingyun Dynasty...

If he answered incorrectly, the Tang Ming Dynasty would truly be doomed beyond salvation.

But then again, if the Lingyun Dynasty really wanted to deal with the Tang Ming Dynasty, why go to such great lengths? They could just attack directly, and a single Saint Emperor would sweep away the current Tang Ming Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Tang Shanhe took a deep breath and asked: "What matter?"

"Pass a message to all your descendants: if someone says the four words 'Tian Shan Di He' to them, they must unconditionally listen to his words and complete his instructions; when that time comes, the Tang Ming Dynasty will be saved."

Jiang Xun did not reveal the time he arrived, nor did he reveal where he would meet the person he spoke of; if he really said anything about listening to Tian Zeyan, then the Tang Ming Dynasty would certainly keep investigating matters regarding Tian Zeyan.

"Forgive my bluntness, but how should I believe you can save the Tang Ming Dynasty..."

Tang Shanhe looked at Jiang Xun and said hesitantly.

"You don't need to believe that I can save your Tang Ming Dynasty; you only need to believe that I could kill every last one of you in the Tang Ming Dynasty right now."

Jiang Xun shrugged and smiled.

"You..."

Tang Shanhe was stunned; he wanted to curse but didn't dare to. You aren't here to save me at all, you are clearly an unstable factor that could explode at any moment...

"Whether you pass these words on properly for me, I will know. If you don't pass them on, I will come back and make you pay the price. If you complete it well, and I am in a good mood, I will save your Tang Ming Dynasty."

Jiang Xun looked at Tang Shanhe, whose face was flushed with anger as he held back from cursing, and smiled.

"You brat, you must be from the Demonic Sect, right?" Jun Tianling also twitched the corner of his mouth upon seeing this.

"You actually guessed right." Jiang Xun nodded, not denying it.

"I understand." Tang Shanhe finally sighed helplessly; he could only agree to this matter for now, otherwise the Tang Ming Dynasty would not be safe right now.

"Also, do you know where Tang Ying is right now?" Jiang Xun subsequently asked.

"Imperial Sister?" Tang Shanhe clearly did not expect this person before him to bring up his Imperial Sister.
