Chapter 179: Looks Like We Can Fight

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

In the imperial city of Dashang, many people were discussing.

There were people who didn’t like Marquis Champion, but there were also his supporters.

In the crowd, everyone argued obstinately.

For a moment, no one could convince the other.

In the end, everyone’s gaze fell on the golden chariot.

Wherever the carriage went, the pedestrians on the streets unanimously gave way, tacitly lining up on both sides.

Just as the golden chariot was slowly moving forward under the lead of the golden-haired eunuch, at the end of the road, an uproar sounded.

Over a thousand people stood together up ahead, completely blocking the way.

Only the two sides of the road remained passable for just two people abreast.

“They are here!”

The blonde eunuch looked at the chaos ahead, the corners of his mouth curling into a cold smile as he muttered softly.

If the Dashang Empire was compared to a sect, then its imperial city under their feet was the headquarters of the sect!

There were a lot of Nirvana Realm experts here, and there were even a few Quasi-Saint Realm experts.

Moreover, deep within the imperial city, there was even a Saint Realm expert standing guard!

Marquis Champion’s status could be seen as the Holy Son of this massive faction!

Su Chen defeating Marquis Champion was equivalent to slapping the faces of all the younger generation of Dashang.

If Su Chen thought he could enter his residence smoothly today, he would be dreaming!

“Young Friend Su Chen, there seems to be some chaos ahead. We may not be able to pass through for some time. Why don’t I take you on a detour, what do you think?”

The golden-haired eunuch turned around and looked at the golden chariot, speaking very considerately.

He was only responsible for leading the way and did not care about anything else.

Now, he was only reminding Su Chen.

If Su Chen really had a conflict with the people in front of him, he would have his own explanation.

After all, he had already advised against it.

If a conflict really occurred, it could only mean Su Chen insisted on going his own way.

Of course, if Su Chen had agreed to take a detour, everything would have been fine today.

However, by tomorrow, Su Chen probably wouldn’t be able to move freely in the imperial city.

If he conceded the first time, then he would have to concede a second time!

One after another.

The news of the Great Mystery Holy Son being unable to move an inch in the imperial city of Dashang would spread to the surrounding factions.

At that time, the reputation of the Great Mystery Holy Sect as a new holy land would become a complete joke.

And no one would take the Great Mystery Sacred Sect seriously.

The air froze slightly.

The golden chariot also stopped.

Atop the carriage, curtains fluttered as a slender figure in purple robes sat within.

He was like an immortal descending into the world, his pitch-black eyes shining with a divine light.

“Who are the people blocking the road ahead?”

Su Chen asked calmly.

He had long expected something like this today.

Let alone Marquis Champion, even if he was the one defeated and the victor openly entered the Great Mystery Sacred Sect, he would probably encounter a similar situation.

“To be honest, the people who caused the commotion on the road ahead are the Junior Duke Qi, Qi Poyue, and some other young marquises. The other is Yang Kai, the illegitimate son of Duke of the Valiant!”

The blonde eunuch explained with a smile.

What was happening ahead could be discerned by anyone with eyes.

It was like a group of princes bullying another prince.

Due to the high statuses of both sides, no one on the street dared to step forward to mediate. They could only watch the commotion from the sidelines.

“Oh? So that’s how it is!”

Su Chen said meaningfully.

Before coming to Dashang, Su Chen had done some research on the various experts within the Dashang borders.

Especially those bestowed with the title “Duke.”

After all, the empire was different from sects.

At its core, the imperial court was just a replica of the mundane imperial court.

The power struggles and machinations in court were no less intense than in the mundane imperial courts.

And because these people all had long lifespans, the competition was naturally even more ruthless.

The Duke of the State of Qi represented the founding nobility, while the Duke of the Valiant represented the newly promoted aristocracy.

These two factions did not like each other.

Before Su Chen arrived, the two factions had been fighting each other.

Now that Su Chen was here, Junior Duke Qi probably wanted to find some trouble for Su Chen while suppressing Yang Kai.

“By the way…”

The blonde eunuch seemed to have thought of something and continued, “If I remember correctly, Marquis Champion used to be the subordinate of Duke Qi, and Marquis Champion and Junior Duke Qi are close friends.”

“Oh? Is that so?”

Su Chen looked at the blonde eunuch.

Was he hinting that he had to take action today?

Duke Qi and the Champion Marquis were close friends.

He could yield to others, but absolutely not Su Chen.

“I wonder if we can fight in the imperial city?”

Su Chen pondered for a moment and asked.

As soon as he finished speaking, the blonde eunuch didn’t even have time to answer.

Bang!

At this moment, a loud bang rang out.

Within the crowds up ahead, a pitch-black figure shot out like a cannonball.

Its speed was extremely fast.

Before anyone could react, the figure quickly smashed toward the golden chariot that Su Chen was in.

“Oh. Looks like we can now.”

Su Chen looked at the scene before him and said in a low voice.

As his voice fell, crimson blood and Qi erupted from his body. Boundless radiance illuminated the night sky as his mighty aura enveloped all directions like an ocean.

Everyone could not help but tremble.

When they looked at the golden chariot, their eyes couldn’t help but reveal a touch of fear.

It was as if a supreme deity able to obliterate countless lives with a thought was sitting within.

Su Chen looked at the figure flying backward and flicked his finger.

Buzz…

An invisible force spread out and caught the figure that was flying backward. Then, he placed it on the ground.

His feet landed on the ground.

Only then did Yang Kai come back to his senses.

He took a deep look at the golden chariot in front of him. His eyes were filled with endless gratitude. He cupped his hands slightly and said, “I’m Yang Kai. Thank you for saving me!”

“It was nothing.”

Su Chen replied casually.

As he finished speaking, a jade box flew out from the carriage, wrapped in endless flowing radiance that blocked all divine sense probing, making it impossible for outsiders to see what was inside.

“Meeting by chance is fate. I’ll give you what’s inside.”

Since the people around Marquis Champion were looking for trouble… Su Chen did not mind playing with them and disgusting them at the same time.

They bullied Yang Kai, then he would help Yang Kai!

As his calm voice fell, the jade box slowly floated in front of Yang Kai.

“This…”

Yang Kai suddenly froze in place.

At this moment, he looked very disheveled. The crown on his head had been knocked off, and there was an especially eye-catching footprint on his chest.

He tidied his clothes and cupped his hands at the golden chariot again.

“The Sage said that it is easy to breed greed by accepting rewards without merit. This is only our first meeting, Holy Son. How can I just casually…”

“Oh, you’re a Confucian cultivator!”

Su Chen chuckled..
