59 Black-armored Man

In the great hall of the Gian Supreme Empire, there was a banquet being held at the moment. With the most promising disciple of the Imperial School breaking through to the Sky Realm, sixth stage, this was really worth a celebration!

The banquet could be said one of the grandest events the empire had held. Many important figures, especially the sectmasters of the behemoth powers and its high elders, were present to show their congratulations and give out extravagant gifts. Of course, they did not do this out of goodwill, they were aiming to get on the good side of that disciple and when he already soared to the sky, they could hug his thighs and lift their position in the entire Shred Case Mortal World.

"Nephew Zilang Mu is really the dragon amongst men. To think he actually reached Sky Realm, sixth stage at the age of fifteen. How terrifying! My best disciple paled in comparison." One of the sectmasters bitterly smiled.

"Of course, with the personal guidance of Mentor Shao Gan, that is not suprising for him to gain such achievement. It would more surprising if he did not reach this." Another sectmaster joined in.

"True. Being guided by Mentor Shao Gan could be said a blessing given by heavens. But still, it was a shocking truth to actually reached Sky Realm, sixth stage at the young age. When I was at the same age as him, I was only Earth Realm, second stage."

"Sigh. Truly, we will be replaced by the younger generation and they will carry our pride banners."

As the sectmasters was in the middle of their conversation, a figure wearing a yellow robesuddenly walked over and joined in, "Sectmasters, I am very glad that you attended this banquet for my disciple." The figure smiled with full of gentleness.

"Principal Kong, no need to say such things. We are here to celebrate with you the grand achievement of your most promising disciple. Who would want to miss this?"

"That's right, Principal. No need to be so modest with us." The sectmasters said politely. Although some sects was just on par with the Imperial School in terms of combat power, when it came to the most promising disciples, they paled in comparison.

Principal Kong was the head of the Imperial School which said to be the brightest powerhouse in this era. Not to mention Zilang Mu, even the past disciples of the school were someone that just slightly paled from Zilang Mu!

Principal Kong only smiled after hearing this. After which, majestic steps could be heard as if the king was walking. Each steps was filled with profoundness as it hit the floor creating melodies. This was such a good sound pleasing to the ears.

They turned their heads and everyone suddenly was brimming with excitement!

"Mentor Shao and Zilang Mu are already here!"

"What a grand and majestic entrance!"

"That's Mentor Shao for you. The current overlord of this world!"

The crowd suddenly beamed with smiles as they watched the two figures walking. Indeed, the old man who was Mentor Shao, walked his way bearing an aura mixed of gentleness and dominance.He was wearing a simple robe like it was for a normal cultivator. One glance of someone who does not recognize him would sized Mentor Shao as an insignificant figure.

Contrary to Mentor Shao, the young man behind him was emitting an aura of arrogance, coupled with his cold gaze that made any young cultivators present shudder. This was a very handsome young man in his fifteen years old. However, he gave off the vibe of your typical playboy. The type of boy who would lust over beautiful and enticing women.

"Zilang Mu, the main character of this event, has finally arrived!" Principal Kong received Mentor Shao and Zilang Mu joyfully. He then turned his gaze to Mentor Shao and cupped his hands, "I pay respect to Mentor Shao!"

Followed suit, everyone cupped their hands and said in unison. "We pay respects to Mentor Shao!"

"Hoho." Mentor Shao chuckled, "I told you to drop this formality and such. But never mind."

"Mentor Shao, Nephew Zilang, this way please." Principal Kong, as the host, has to personally guide these two important figures to their respective seats.

"Very well." Mentor Shao smiled and walked over. Zilang Mu also followed as well, not even giving Principal Kong a glance. This action of Zilang Mu displeased the old figures present.

As a disciple of the Imperial Palace, he should have paid respect to his principal. But not only he did not do this, he even did not bother to give him a glance as if he was just an ant behind his feet. To think this young man was already very arrogant that could almost measure up the heaven? Of course, they knew that he had the power to back it up. But still, as people of the older generation, they found this action very displeasing.

Mentor Shao stopped his steps and faced Zilang Mu and ordered, "Pay respect to Principal Kong, Zilang."

Zilang Mu was indifferent as he cupped his head to Principal Kong, "I pay respect to Principal Kong."

However, the displeasure of the old figures were still there. Because that paying respect was even cold without a hint of respect on it!

Principal Kong smiled bitterly. Of course, as the principal, he knew that this was the natural attitude of the disciple. He just gestured him to his seat, "Okay Nephew Zilang. You seat there."

Buzz!

Mentor Shao already sat on his chair which was placed in the highest stand, Zilang Mu was about to sit when the void trembled suddenly and ripped off. Next, a figure appeared in front of Mentor Shao, which made him immediately lifted his guard.

The figure was wearing a black plate armor that was sparkling with stars glittering on it. The clouds suddenly reverberated and spun in circles as if it was turning crazy. He had a very long silver hair and his age must be in the range of 40 to 50 years old. He was emitting an extreme and violent pressure that this world had not yet experienced! His eyes glit with ice-cold gaze as he roamed his eyes around the great hall. As he got out of the void and stepped on the floor, theground suddenly trembled which made the younger cultivators fall on their butts. Even the proud and arrogant Zilang Mu was no exception since he was the nearest in this unknown figure! His expression was twisted as he fell on his butt.

This caught off guard everyone present!

The sectmasters wanted to draw their weapons and ask 'who are you' to this unknown man. But after seeing him ripping off the void and got out of it. They immediately shook this thought. They knew this man was someone who they could not afford to offend! Although they had tons of questions, they did not even dare to breath loudly, lest to speak.

Mentor Shao who had a paled expression stood up and cupped his hands, and asked, "May I know who is this high-esteemed man visiting my empire?"

The black-armored man ignored the question sized up Mentor Shao and said indifferently, "You must be Shao Gan? I asked the envoy of the Shi Clan observing this place."

"Yes. That is me." Mentor Shao immediately answered respectfully. He had already realized why this man was here and asked another question, "Senior, correct me if I'm wrong, but are you here because of the recent Heaven's Harmony happened in this world?"

"Bright." The black-armored man smiled, "Pardon my late introduction, I am Grenas, the Celestial General of His Majesty, Jin Rou." Indeed, this was Grenas.

Mentor Shao immediately felt his knees trembling and was soon to give in. To actually saw a Celestial General? He was brimming with smile and excitement!

Mentor Shao was already informed by the envoy that a Celestial General will seek his presence. And so, he prepared himself. However, he was still intimidated by the posture and aura of this Celestial General! What's more, he did not expect this general to appear right in their grand event! If he just knew, maybe he had made this event grander than it was.

Grenas ignored this and said dejectedly, "I searched and traversed all the lower worlds within these days without a clue of where to find His Majesty, but coming here. I am sure His Majesty is really here. I can faintly sense him, It would take me days to find and observe him in the dark."

Mentor Shao pondered something for a while and said, "About that, Mylord, I ordered every of my people capable of gathering intel where was the source of the Heaven's Harmony and I received a confirmed one that it was the most felt in the Quu Empire, a low-tier empire very far away from here. Estimating hundreds of millions of kilometers away in East." He even changed his call to Grenas as Mylord from Senior. This was a clear cut of the disparity between them that made the speechless crowd more speechless! It was as if the mouths of them were sealed.

"Oh?" Grenas got hyped up and did not waste any more time and ripped off the void, suddenly, a dark space appeared.

Before entering, Grenas said "Shao Gan, as a thanks for this valuable information, I will personally recommend you to His Majesty once I found him, he might give you some marvelous gift you would not expect."

Although Grenas was tasked to hide and observe in the dark, in the end, he still needed to relay the message of his parents which was giving Grenas a headache of how to do that. He knew that once he was discovered by His Majesty, he would run away again and Grenas would have to search for every corners again finding him again.

Buzz-

The void was entered by Grenas suddenly trembled and disappeared. The dumbfounded and speechless crowd had not yet managed to calmed down. It seemed it would take time to process such fast developments.

After a long while, Zilang Mu was the one who first regained his wits and asked, "Master, who is that?"

Mentor Shao smiled bitterly in disappointment as he could not invite the general to stay for a while. He sighed nad looked at everyone and said in a serious tone, "All you need to know is that it is someone who could make this Shred Case disappear with just a wave of his hand."

Hearing this made the crowd and Zilang Mu stupefied!
