You, a living person, are telling me I've served in the underworld for ten years?

Wang Chengcai killed Wang Yuan with a single palm strike, without the slightest hesitation.

He glanced coldly at the corpse on the ground and fell into deep thought.

Although Chen Yang has left, who knows if he left any backup plans?
That man is the Underworld Commander, whose abilities are extraordinary.

Don't be careless.

"Somebody come!"

Wang Chengcai dared not delay and immediately ordered someone: "Dispose of Wang Yuan's body and strengthen security within the clan!"

"Don't cause any trouble for the time being, especially don't discuss anything related to Marshal Chen!"

"Yes!"

A respectful voice came from afar.

The experts from the Wang family had witnessed everything that had just happened, so how could they dare to be negligent?

After dealing with all this, Wang Chengcai sat down in the armchair, his whole body drenched in cold sweat.

"The Heavenly Road...the Celestial Realm..."

Wang Chengcai was distraught, muttering to himself, "What's the use of our ancestors choosing this path and leaving us behind?"

at the same time.

Kyoto Prefecture, Special Administration Bureau Headquarters.

Jiang He sat at his desk, fiddling with a magical artifact.

It was sent by the Li family.

"Minister, after the Li family left, several other prominent families and sects came."

"It is said that quite a few families are already on their way, and more people will arrive in the next few days."

The assistant placed a thick stack of documents in front of him.

"Ah."

Jiang He nodded and couldn't help but smile: "As expected."

"If the Li family has set this precedent, and others still cannot see the situation clearly, then they are unworthy of being called a great family."

"Then... how should we deal with this?"

The assistant stood to the side, seeking a solution: "There will definitely be a lot of people coming, this... won't this affect the person upstairs, and they might blame him..."

"But it wouldn't be right to refuse them or not let them come."

"Take it all! Let them know how powerful the Special Administration Bureau is!"

"These people come here simply to seek the protection of the Special Administration Bureau! To survive in this new era!"

"They thought that a few Golden Elixir manuals and a few pieces of broken copper and scrap iron would not be enough."

Jiang He's eyes were gleaming, and a smile appeared on his face: "I'm going to use their resources to arm ourselves, and the world will change in no time."

"As for the people above, I'll contact them later."

"Only by strengthening ourselves can we protect more people, and I believe they will understand."

"Then what do you mean?"

After his analysis, the assistant looked at him intently.

After all that talk, I still didn't understand his point.

"Make them show real sincerity!"

Jiang He's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice, "Martial arts techniques and Daoist manuals—make them reveal their true strength!"

"We want the most valuable things! If they're stingy, then shut them out! We won't even open our doors to them!"

"Furthermore, all the prodigies in their families and sects who are eight years old or older must be sent to the Special Administration Bureau for unified training!"

"Let's count who doesn't agree to these conditions."

"Send people to investigate thoroughly. Seize all their families and businesses."

"Let them send their prodigies here? This..."

The assistant felt that his appetite was too big.

Would they agree to that?
This is tantamount to putting the future of an entire family in the hands of others.

Who would be willing?
"Wouldn't that cause them dissatisfaction?"

Jiang He interrupted him, scoffing, "So what if we rebound? This era is the cultivation era led by the Special Administration Bureau!"

"If they refuse, then let them think it over. The Li family is a cautionary tale."

"Pass the word down. This isn't a discussion; it's a direct order!"

"Either conform and adapt to the times, or perish and follow in the footsteps of the Li family."

"Yes! I'll do it right away!"

The assistant wiped his sweat and turned to leave.

Jiang He was the only one left in the office.

"The Way of the Human Emperor! To control order!"

A glint of light flashed in Jiang He's eyes as he watched the departing figure: "Any obstacle must be eliminated!"

With that thought in mind, I walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.

Suddenly, I saw a familiar figure.

They were walking up from the courtyard.

This person was none other than Chen Yang, who had left the Wang family.

His brows were furrowed, clearly deep in thought.

"The Heavenly Road... Liu Bowen severed the dragon vein, and Grandmaster Zhang Sanfeng and a group of powerful figures left the Ancestral Star Realm..."

As Chen Yang walked, he pondered what Wang Lin had just said: "It seems that there are still many secrets hidden in this Ancestral Star Realm."

He was very interested in this "sky road".

"If there really is a celestial realm, what would it be like?"

"Where are those powerful figures who left now?"

"This is a good place. Perhaps... I should go and explore this heavenly path."

As he walked, he pondered some plans for the future.

Before they knew it, they had arrived at Jiang He's office.

They were so focused that they forgot to knock.

"Chen Shuai, what brings you to my place?"

Jiang He was waiting by the floor-to-ceiling window early in the morning when he saw him arrive.

So, I'm not surprised at all.

On the contrary, she was very interested in why he had come to find her.

"I heard some news at the Wang family's place and wanted to come here to confirm it."

Hearing Jiang He's question, Chen Yang finally came to his senses.

Without being polite, I sat down directly.

He took a sip of the tea that Jiang He had just drunk.

Jiang He became even more curious about his absent-minded appearance.

"Chen Shuai, what's wrong? Why are you so distraught?"

"Tell me, what did you hear at the Wang family's house?"

Jiang He poured him another cup of tea.

He then sat down and stared at Chen Yang with a curious expression.

"I heard something at the Wang family's house that I found unbelievable."

"The Wang family said that their ancestors went to the Heavenly Road and left the Ancestral Star Realm."

Chen Yang seemed to be murmuring, but he was actually telling Jiang He something.

Upon hearing this, Jiang He's brows furrowed and relaxed at times.

"The Heavenly Road..."

After Chen Yang finished speaking, he slowly said, "Commander Chen, I have also been investigating this Heavenly Road."

"Unfortunately, there has been no result."

"Oh? None of your Special Administration Bureau personnel have any definite information?"

That's why Chen Yang came here to find him.

I wanted to get information out of him.

check it out.

The Special Administration Bureau is a great place to gather information about everything under the sun.

But when they arrived, they found that Jianghe didn't know anything about it.

I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"However... I feel that our mythology is showing some promise."

"For example, the Foolish Old Man Who Moved Mountains. Most people think they were moving mountains, but I feel they were looking for some kind of barrier."

"Or rather, a passageway to certain places."

Jiang He looked serious and began to tell Chen Yang his thoughts.

"Unfortunately, this is just a myth."

"We have no evidence to prove it."

Chen Yang sighed and shook his head.

"Yes, we've been searching for a long time, but we haven't found a way."

Jiang He shared the same sentiment.

"Then what about the thirty-six grotto-heavens and seventy-two blessed lands you mentioned?"

Chen Yang suddenly thought of something and quickly asked.

"The Ancestral Star Realm is far more complex than we imagined."

"The ancestral star itself is like a folded space!"

"You could say... it's a honeycomb, and we're just on the outermost layer!"

Jiang He became interested when he heard the question: "The Thirty-Six Grotto-Heavens and Seventy-Two Blessed Lands are relatively deeper spatial worlds."

"Many people think that these are independent spaces, but I don't feel that way!"

"They should be equal to us! Or perhaps they are beings in a higher space than we are."

"And there, it's more expansive, with more abundant spiritual energy, making it a better place for both cultivation and daily life!" "So, I feel that the so-called Heavenly Road you've heard about... isn't as ethereal as it seems."

"It's very likely that it's right next to us! But we just can't find it."

"Many families and sects have established themselves here."

"Minister Jiang, I agree with what you said."

"But the Wang family didn't say that."

Chen Yang stood up and paced back and forth, saying, "The Wang family said that their ancestor left the ancestral star realm."

"Note that they emphasize leaving, not entering some paradise."

"Oh?"

"I overlooked that."

Jiang He suddenly realized.

"and!"

Chen Yang sat down again, facing him directly: "They explicitly mentioned the Celestial Realm! That's definitely not some blessed land or paradise!"

"No matter how vast the blessed lands are, as you just explained, they are still ultimately on the ancestral planet!"

"Or perhaps, it is still part of the ancestral planet!"

"But the Celestial Realm, I believe, is completely outside the Ancestral Star's domain!"

Jiang He's expression changed slightly after hearing his words.

"Minister Jiang, do you know something?"

Chen Yang narrowed his eyes.

He didn't trust Jiang He, a minister, to be in charge of the overall situation.

They wouldn't know anything about it.

I had a vague feeling that he was playing tricks on me.

Jiang He fell silent upon hearing his question.

He got up and poured tea for the two of them, and then stood by the window for a while.

"Commander Chen, there are some things it's better not to know."

Jiang He suddenly turned his head and looked at Chen Yang seriously: "The Ancestral Star Realm has been peaceful for so many years, perhaps there are other reasons."

"Liu Bowen cut off the dragon vein, and Master Zhang Sanfeng left with his followers... There may be something behind this that we cannot touch."

"Are you really sure you want to go and explore these things?"

"I'm all ears."

Chen Yang clasped his hands in a fist salute.

His face showed a sincere expression.

"If you go to this place, it will be extremely dangerous."

"You have to start all over again now."

"Are you still willing to go?"

Jiang He opened his tiger eyes, revealing a sharp glint in them.

"Oh? You're not trying to scare me, are you?"

“These people from the Wang family are not as strong as me, so they can all go.”

"What harm would it do for me to go?"

Chen Yang was not intimidated by his words.

On the contrary, she felt that he was deliberately scaring her.

I want to make myself give up.

“They are not human beings, and they are not bound by rules.”

"Although you have survived the tribulation of lightning, you are still human after all."

"The rules here will still affect you."

"I think that's why they went here; they were certain you couldn't go."

Seeing his serious expression, Jiang He stopped hiding it and told him directly.

"No matter what, I'm going to visit this place."

"I'd like to see what these people are up to."

Chen Yang was resolute.

This indomitable spirit has kept him going until now.

The same applies in the future.

"Very well, since that's the case, then I'll risk my life to accompany you on this journey."

“I’m making a big show of it so that more people know about it and they’ll give up the idea of ​​using this shortcut to avoid us.”

Seeing his firm stance, Jiang He no longer hesitated.

It can also be used to make an example of someone.

Why not do it.

"When shall we set off?"

This is what Chen Yang cares about.

Set off as soon as possible, resolve your doubts, and find out the truth.

Give me ten more days.

“I’ll deal with all these families before we set off.”

“Otherwise, if you and I both go out on this trip, and there’s no one to suppress them, things might change.”

Jiang He confessed his concerns to Chen Yang.

Currently, the two of them can be considered top-tier individuals.

If these people seize the opportunity, things will get very complicated.

"Ten days is fine."

"I'm going back too, to take care of some things."

Chen Yang didn't haggle, after all, he needed someone's help.

"Then, let's meet here in ten days."

"We'll go to Changbai Mountain then."

Jiang He told Chen Yang his destination directly.

This was also to keep Chen Yang calm.

Show him your determination so that he won't do anything pointless in the next few days.

Changbai Mountain?

Upon hearing this familiar name, Chen Yang showed a hint of curiosity.

"That's right! Don't ask about the specifics for now."

"I will reveal the answer to you in ten days."

Jiang He was also keeping him in suspense.

"Alright then, do you need my help here?"

"I've heard that you've been very busy lately, receiving all sorts of people."

Chen Yang was also being polite to him.

If Jiang He can't solve this problem, then he's not fit to be a minister.

"No need, you just do your thing."

"This is a small matter, I can handle it."

Jiang He shook his head and refused with a smile.

"Alright, I'll take my leave now."

Chen Yang stood up, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and bid farewell to Jiang He: "See you in ten days."

"it is good!"

I won't see you off any further.

With their combined strength, traveling a thousand miles a day wouldn't be a problem.

Send it? How should it be sent, and where should it be sent?

With just one thought, one can travel from south to north.

Chen Yang did not delay any longer.

After saying goodbye, I left their office building.

Having identified the direction of Xixia Prefecture, it soared into the sky.

When he appeared again.

They have returned to Wucheng.

Walking on the familiar streets, I saw familiar shops after only a few steps.

I haven't been back much since I went to the Qingwei Sect.

Ali was busy making paper figures in the shop, having a great time.

The fat cat lay lazily to the side, basking in the sun.

"You're back~"

Ali, with her sharp eyes, saw him enter the room, excitedly dropped what she was doing, and rushed over.

The two embraced.

The fat cat standing nearby rolled its eyes, just like a human.

Clearly, they are not interested in this kind of relationship between men and women.

"Yes, everything was taken care of, so I came back."

After the two separated, Chen Yang finally caught his breath.

“We’ve seen the news about everything you did at Qingwei Sect and at the Li family.”

"So handsome!"

Ali spoke highly of her husband.

Suddenly remembering something, he quickly asked, "Are you leaving again this time?" (End of Chapter)
