Chapter 798 - 798 He Chuan's Condition
“I am Zhang Changan from the Zhang family of Great Zhao. May I know how to address this Brother?” Countless thoughts flashed through Zhang Changlong’s mind in an instant, but his expression remained unchanged. He cupped his hands at He Chuan with a smile on his face.
“He Chuan!”
“Since you are Master Sheng Kang’s friends, you are Great Zhao’s friends. There’s no need to be reserved.” Zhang Changlong immediately turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation.
Zhang Changlong immediately turned around and led them into the Imperial Palace.
“Who are these people? How could he swagger into the palace?”
“Shh! The leader is the Fourth Prince and the old man beside him is the pride of Great Zhao, Master Sheng Kang, one of the Three Great Alchemy Grandmasters of the Eight Treasures Pavilion!”
“Even Master Sheng Kang is here? No wonder the Fourth Prince came out to welcome him personally.”
“I’ve never heard that Master Sheng Kang has a son. Especially that white-robed youth. From the looks of it, Master Sheng Kang was smiling at him. Could he be a new disciple?”
“Have you ever seen Master being polite to his disciple? The Prince’s respectful attitude towards him did not seem like he was treating a disciple at all. There was an 80% chance that he was the Young Master of some ancient family!”
“The white-robed youth, if I remember correctly, is called He Chuan!” A sharp and sinister laughter suddenly sounded from the crowd that was discussing animatedly.
“He Chuan?” It attracted countless curious gazes.
“Yes, He Chuan should be from the East Continent.” The sharp voice explained again.
“Yesterday, when the Little Immortal Doctor, Tian Hanshu, challenged the Little Pill God, Xing Yuyan, this brat exposed Tian Hanshu’s little trick in front of everyone and helped the Little Pill God win the competition. He also helped our Great Zhao’s Pill Dao leave some face.”
“However, based on his performance yesterday, his knowledge was definitely extraordinary!”
Hearing this, everyone around them instantly understood.
The matter of the Little Immortal Doctor Tian Hanshu challenging the Little Pill God Xing Yuyan yesterday had stirred up a huge wave in the city.
Especially at the last moment, the appearance of the mysterious youth and the story of him directly turning the world around was even more legendary.
He did not expect that it was this white-robed youth in front of him!
Even so, Master Sheng Kang and the Fourth Prince would not be so polite, right?
Could it be that yesterday’s matter had alarmed His Majesty, and he had personally invited him?
The crowd outside the palace had the same question.
Zhang Changlong led He Chuan into the palace.
Although the imperial palace of the border country of Great Zhao was not as grand and treacherous as the Shengyang City, it was still vast and magnificent.
Palaces and pavilions were everywhere, and in terms of area, they were many times larger than the Shengyang Palace.
He Chuan had never been interested in these things.
He held the hilt of his sword and followed behind Master Sheng Kang and Zhang Changlong. They walked into the imperial palace of Great Zhao, which was decorated with carvings of dragons and paintings, as if they were taking a leisurely stroll in the courtyard.
As Zhang Changlong walked, he kept chatting with Master Sheng Kang.
However, although Master Sheng Kang responded, his attention was still on He Chuan.
“If Young Master He needs any help, I will do my best to help!” Zhang Changlong became even more curious about He Chuan’s identity. He deliberately took a step back and stood side by side with He Chuan.
“Fourth Prince, you don’t have to worry about people from a small country.” He Chuan said with a cold expression.
Zhang Changlong frowned.
He might not have known if He Chuan had said that he was from Nanhua, Xihui, Dongyue, or even the Northern Underworld.
However, Yanyang Empire was the only country that had unified the entire Eastern barren territory for thousands of years.
Ten thousand years ago, when it first rose up under the leadership of Emperor Chu Yu, it almost became one of the strongest powers in the Central Plains. He was able to compete with the five great sects and suppress the other countries in the Central Plains.
It was a pity that the Yanyang Empire was short-lived and died before it could even take over the Central Plains.
They could not even maintain their status as a country and quickly declined.
It was said that it had become the last empire and was on the verge of extinction in the East Continent.
He didn’t expect He Chuan to come from there. His background shouldn’t be too high.
Since that was the case, why did Master Sheng Kang care about this person?
Zhang Changlong was confused.
“As for my trip to Great Zhao, I have two main things to do.” Seeing that Zhang Changlong was silent, He Chuan said to him.
“It was difficult to help even if I told the prince about my private matters.”
“However, the second matter is related to your Zhang royal family. The Fourth Prince might be able to help.”
“I’ve heard about the treasure on the border of Great Zhao. It was called the Nine-Turn Reincarnation Thousand-Faced Mirror. It could reflect the past and spy on the world.”
“You came here today to ask for the Thousand-Faced Mirror.” Zhang Changlong was instantly stunned.
The Nine-turns Reincarnation Thousand-faced Mirror was obtained by their ancestor, Long Jianshen, Zhang Jianjiu, in a secret realm when Great Zhao was founded.
It was said that even the master of the ancestor, Zhang Jianjiu, the Sword Emperor, was full of praise and exclaimed in amazement.
In the Sword Sect, it was definitely a top-notch treasure.
Now, on the border of Great Zhao, it was one of the two national treasures of Great Zhao, along with their ancestors, the natal weapon of his.
How could such a treasure be borrowed just like that?
“The Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Thousand Faces Mirror is a national treasure after all. Not just anyone can borrow it!” Although he tried his best to suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart, there was still a hint of sarcasm when he spoke.
Even though he didn’t mention his name, his tone wasn’t friendly.
After all, just as he said, the Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Thousand-Faced Mirror was the most precious treasure of the Great Country. It was a relic left behind by the Long Jianshen. It was not only the symbol of the border country but also the symbol of the Zhang royal family.
How could such a treasure be borrowed by others?
“As a reward, if Great Zhao can’t do it in today’s competition, I can help defeat Buddhist Dhyana Jing An!” He Chuan naturally heard the displeasure in Zhang Changlong’s words, but he was not angry. Instead, he said indifferently.
Master Sheng Kang was pleasantly surprised.
Although he had sincerely invited He Chuan to make a move yesterday, and He Chuan had said it in a righteous manner.
However, he did not agree, nor did he say that he would fight for Zhao.
At this moment, he actually agreed to fight just to borrow the Thousand Faces Mirror.
Wouldn’t he win today’s competition without a doubt?
“Defeat Buddhist Dhyana Jing An? What an arrogant tone!” Zhang Changlong said in a completely disapproving manner.
Regardless of whether it was true or false, how could they determine that Great Zhao would lose today’s competition?
“I didn’t say that Great Zhao will lose. If Xing Tunyue can’t win, I can help Great Zhao win the competition.” He Chuan said lightly.
“If Great Zhao wins, I’ll agree to any conditions that the State of Zhao has as a reward for borrowing the Thousand-faced Mirror!
Master Sheng Kang’s expression changed again.
Old Chen, Liu Qingcheng, Yao Qiankun, and a few others were shocked.
The Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Thousand Faces Mirror seemed extremely important to He Chuan.
Otherwise, why would he retreat again and again and directly promise the conditions of the State of Zhao?
Others might not understand He Chuan, but they knew him very well.
He Chuan’s conditions were definitely priceless and more precious than any treasure.
After all, He Chuan could even kill a martial artist with three illusions.
However, when these words fell into Zhang Changlong’s ears, it was like a huge joke.
He was from a small empire that had declined for ten thousand years and was about to die. He was only a Primordial Realm cultivator, but for some reason, he had gained Master Sheng Kang’s favor. He was so arrogant and arrogant.
First, he shamelessly said he would help Great Zhao defeat Buddhist Dhyana Jing An, and then he started talking about conditions. If this wasn’t nonsense, then what was it?
How ridiculous!
However, Master Sheng Kang was beside him so that he couldn’t say anything. He just couldn’t be bothered with He Chuan, so he turned around and continued to lead the crowd forward.
A wide square was built around the arena.
Soldiers in black armor stood around them. They were fully armed and looked majestic and domineering.
The originally empty and pleasant hall was now filled with killing intent and a little oppressive!
Countless officials and nobles exchanged greetings in the slightly depressing atmosphere, creating a lively scene.
“This is the seat that Imperial Father has specially reserved for you. Please take a rest here. The competition will begin soon. If you have anything to do during this period, you can tell me at any time!” Zhang Changlong came to the right side of the arena and cupped his hands in greeting.
Master Sheng Kang didn’t say much and sat down with He Chuan and the others.
At this moment, a commotion suddenly broke out in the crowd. Immediately after, two figures stepped onto the arena at the same time and confronted each other from afar!
Although his face could not be seen clearly, judging from his broad back and body shape, he should be a rather robust middle-aged man.
