A blind man cultivates immortality and witnesses the great secret of the holy maiden in her bridal c

Su Nuanyun did not notice anything unusual about Chen Yang.

She explained, "The three major academies in the capital are still recruiting. Regular admissions have ended, and now we can only use recommendations! The Su family is a first-rate family, so recommending Qingxia for admission will be easy for them! Tomorrow, Qingxia can enter Wanxing Academy. You're also very strong, so you should be able to get in too. However, with your eyes, I'm afraid you won't pass the entrance exam… I'll have someone ask around and try to get you into Wanxing Academy too!"

Chen Yang nodded and said gratefully, "Mom, thank you so much! It would be wonderful if I could get into the academy!"

After saying that, a surge of anger welled up inside him—he remembered that there was a former wife with whom he had a blood feud at Wanxing Academy!

I heard before that she made rapid progress and was a star student in the academy!

"How could such a vicious woman, who was pregnant, advance so quickly?"

"If I can get into Wanxing Academy, I should definitely have a good 'talk' with her!"

Liu Qingxia, standing nearby, naturally understood Chen Yang's meaning. She stepped forward and gently took Chen Yang's hand: "Chen Yang, don't get agitated. You will avenge yourself eventually. There's no need to rush!"

Chen Yang nodded, snapping out of his reverie: "Yes, these are all minor matters. Planting flowers is the important thing now! Qingxia and I will help Mother continue planting flowers!"

The three of them were once again immersed in laughter and joy.

It wasn't until evening that Chen Yang finally took his leave.

After all, Su Nuanyun has lost all her cultivation and has little say in the Su family. The Su family is currently on high alert and busy preparing for the return of that Su family immortal!

Chen Yang also didn't want Su Nuanyun to have to ask for help because of his accommodation problem.

After leaving the Su family and returning to the guesthouse, Chen Yang couldn't wait to take out the Five Elements Ring!

The Fire Ring has now been upgraded to a mid-grade spiritual weapon, and its power is already extremely strong when used alone!

After thinking about it, he finally chose the yellow earthen ring for the upgrade!

This earthen ring may seem ordinary, but after Chen Yang tested it, he discovered that its binding power was the strongest!

As long as the trapped person stands on the ground, the earthen ring will continuously use the power of the earth to trap the person, making it impossible for them to break free!

[Ding! Consuming 5,000 spirit stones, the Five Elements Cloud-Locking Vine - Earth Vine has been upgraded to a mid-grade spiritual weapon!]

Chen Yang was even more captivated by the Five Elements Ring before him, muttering to himself, "I need to get the remaining five thousand spirit stones from Su Quan and Su Youtong as soon as possible!"

After playing with it for a while, Chen Yang suddenly stood up, feeling a pang of self-reproach: "How could I forget about that young woman, Gu Yingqing? Her family's caravan is still waiting outside the city; I need to go and talk to her husband, Zhang Hengyang, first!"

Chen Yang immediately left the room and inquired about the whereabouts of Zhang Hengyang, the Commander of the Nine Gates, from the eunuch.

The Nine Gates Governor's Mansion is very close to the Imperial Palace, and naturally not far from the City Lord's Guesthouse.

The eunuch was very respectful to Chen Yang and quickly led him toward the Nine Gates Commander's Mansion.

It's only a few kilometers away.

A huge mansion appeared ahead.

As Chen Yang stood at the door, he immediately sensed the presence of over a hundred Golden Body Realm cultivators in the courtyard!

The eunuch addressed the guards at the door, "Quickly, announce that Lord Chen wishes to see the Commander of the Nine Gates! Lord Chen is a favorite of the Emperor, his most favored person!"

The guards immediately went to report.

Before long, two trusted confidants led Chen Yang into the Nine Gates Admiral's Mansion.

There are many guards in the governor's mansion, but there are even more guards hidden in the shadows.

Chen Yang's concealment detection technique could naturally detect everything.

He was speechless. It seemed that Zhang Hengyang knew he was vulnerable to assassination, which was why he had arranged for so many people to be assassinated.

Upon entering the study in the middle, a man in his thirties, somewhat handsome, with a full beard, was waiting for Chen Yang.

Upon seeing Chen Yang, he stood up, cupped his hands in greeting, and then looked Chen Yang up and down before saying, "City Lord Chen, what brings you here?"

Zhang Hengyang was not close to Chen Yang, mainly because he couldn't determine whether Chen Yang was a friend or foe.

More importantly, ever since Zhang Hengyang took up the position of Commander of the Nine Gates, he has been frequently assassinated for no apparent reason.

The position of Commander of the Nine Gates was extremely important. He was responsible for commanding the defense of the entire capital and ensuring the safety of each city gate.

Although the garrison in the capital is not considered top-tier, its sheer numbers make up for it. There are several thousand garrison soldiers in the entire capital, each with strength above the Blood Transformation Realm, and all under the command of the Nine Gates Admiral.

Therefore, the Prime Minister's office was desperate to get rid of Zhang Hengyang and replace him with one of their own.

Chen Yang sensed that there were still Zhang Hengyang's secret guards in the room. He suddenly realized that Zhang Hengyang must feel quite aggrieved in his position.

Chen Yang simply cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Lord Zhang, I've come on behalf of your wife."

Then, Chen Yang took out the jade pendant that Gu Yingqing had given him and handed it to the guard.

The guard quickly handed the jade pendant to Zhang Hengyang.

Upon seeing the broken jade pendant, Zhang Hengyang quickly pulled out another broken jade pendant from his neck.

The two jade pendants fit together perfectly!

Zhang Hengyang looked at Chen Yang excitedly and hurriedly asked, "It's my wife! Where is she now?"

Chen Yang said, "They are safe now, in an inn more than 30 kilometers outside the capital."

"Because now the entire outskirts of the capital are guarded by people from the Prime Minister's Mansion. They want to check any caravan or pedestrian. And those people are hostile to the Gu family's caravan. So your wife gave me this jade pendant so that I could explain the situation to you. They are waiting outside."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hengyang's eyes reddened. He waved his hand at those around him and said, "You all step back! This Lord Chen is my friend!"

The surrounding guards immediately and quickly left.

Zhang Hengyang closed the door and said to Chen Yang, "Lord Chen, please don't be offended. There have simply been too many assassination attempts lately, so I have to be careful."

Chen Yang smiled, sat down, and said, "I understand."

"Actually, on the way here, some men from the Tiger and Leopard Battalion of the Prime Minister's Mansion tried to disrespect your wife, but I have already killed them."

"You can see from that incident that the Prime Minister's Mansion is very hostile towards you, so you should be careful."

Zhang Hengyang nodded, then gritted his teeth and said angrily, "This Prime Minister's residence is becoming increasingly lawless!"

"Here, I express my sincere gratitude to Lord Chen for saving my life!"

"Alas, during the day, I was thinking about my wife's itinerary and was planning to ask someone about it. But unfortunately, those people from the Blood Shadow Pavilion are so cunning. I've been so busy chasing them that I completely forgot about my father-in-law's family's relocation. I'm truly ashamed, so very ashamed!"

Upon hearing about the Blood Shadow Pavilion, Chen Yang was somewhat puzzled and casually asked, "What trouble has the Blood Shadow Pavilion gotten into this time?"
