In the Silver Sword City, where the patrol guards heavily surrounded a mansion shaped like a silver sword.
Inside the sword-shaped silver mansion, the interiors were grandiose, exuding an aura of wealth from every part.
Naturally, it was the city lord of the Silver Sword City, but now inside the hall, the burst of wild laughter of a young man resounded.
"Hahaha, Brother, if it weren’t for you, I would have been kept in the dark for so long."
An arrogant young man with a somewhat smug face said these words as he patted the shoulder of an exceptionally handsome man.
Though the arrogant young man laughed outwardly, inwardly, he was extremely jealous of the young man’s handsome face.
And how could the exceptionally handsome man not be aware of his thoughts? But he didn’t point it out; instead, he didn’t seem to care.
"Hmph, that cunning old rat! He dared to fool me, the crown prince of the Imperial Star Dynasty."
"If it weren’t for him being a family member of the sect leader of the Peerless Sword Heaven Sect, then I would have already had him put to death."
These domineering words said by the arrogant young man would have shocked the people of the Silver Sword City, yet no one in the hall dared to deny his words.
Becaue He is Xing Hao, the crown prince of the Imperial Star Dynasty.
The Imperial Star Dynasty is one of the major forces in the Azure Jade Continent, known to slightly overwhelm the other three major forces.
So, Xing Hao could truly make a mere city lord of the Peerless Sword Heaven Sect disappear with his words.
After all, the Peerless Sword Heaven Sect is at the bottom of the four major forces in the Azure Jade Continent.
Regarding this, we could only praise heaven’s arrangement for Ye Fan to grandstand and slap the powerful forces in the continent to death to make a name for himself.
"Now that I have finished venting my anger, Brother, can you tell me the important information you know about Tang Jingxue?"
Xing Hao naturally had reason to say these words in front of the exceptional young man.
He wanted to let him know that ’even a city lord can’t escape his grasp; if you, a mere disciple of the Peerless Sword Heaven Sect, dare to lie, then you can’t see the sun the next day.’
However, upon hearing these words, the exceptional young man laughed.
"Hahaha, Brother Hao, first let me introduce myself."
"I am Xiao Chen, an inner disciple of the Peerless Sword Heaven Sect."
Yes, the exceptional young man who was talking with Xing Hao was indeed Xiao Chen.
Before, he wanted to visit the Peerless Sword Heaven Sect to see how Tang Jingxue was doing.
However,When Xiao Chen arrived in the Silver Sword City, he found that Xing Hao, the crown prince of the imperial Star dynasty, had been staying in the city for past few days.
After careful consideration, he naturally came to know that it was Tang Jingxue’s doing that made Xing hao to stay in the silver sword city
Furthermore,Xing Hao was left dumbfounded upon learning that Ye Fan had regained his strength.
Xing Hao didn’t doubt Xiao Chen, as he had heard of Xiao Chen’s formidable strength of Divine Awakening Middle Stage from his guardian hidden in the shadows.
However, what he didn’t know was that Xiao Chen’s realm had already reached the Mysterious Platform Realm, and his combat prowess was even more outrageous than rumored.
With a gaze filled with disdain, Xiao Chen looked at Xing Hao like a clown, knowing that he had succeeded in provoking his anger.
Fueling the fire further, Xiao Chen continued, "Brother Hao, did you know that the Saintess is going to attend the annual sect competition?"
Xing Hao was startled, as he was aware of this matter upon his arrival in the Silver Sword City.
Initially believing that Tang Jingxue had finally responded to his pursuit, he now realized that it was Ye Fan behind it all.
A surge of terrifying spiritual power erupted from Xing Hao as he struggled to control his anger.
"Your Highness, please calm down," two voices from the shadows sounded simultaneously.
Hearing their voices, Xing Hao snapped back to his senses and quelled his murderous intent.
"Brother Hao,don’t worry, I naturally have another piece of good news for you," Xiao Chen said with a teasing smile.
Xing Hao, eager for any semblance of good news after the continuous bad news, eagerly listened.
"I killed Ye Fan’s dragon... pfft... hahaha," Xiao Chen couldn’t contain his laughter.
At first, Xing Hao didn’t seem to understand what Xiao Chen meant, but after a moment’s thought, he burst into laughter, his voice resounding throughout the room.
"Hahahahahahaha..haha..hahaha"
After calming down, Xing Hao stood up, approached Xiao Chen, and patted his shoulder with a smile.
"Brother Xiao, from now on, you are my sworn brother," Xing Hao declared, snapping his fingers.
The guardians hidden in the dark were shocked by this revelation, secretly cursing Xiao Chen’s craftiness.
Moments later, Xiao Chen was presented with a middle-grade storage ring filled with treasures.
"Then I shall take my leave, Brother Hao, as I must seek revenge in the upcoming competition," Xiao Chen said, preparing to depart.
Xing Hao didn’t stop him; in fact, he was in a good mood and sent him off with a smile.
After Xiao Chen exited Xing Hao’s residence, he made his way to the City Lord Mansion’s main hall.
Unconcerned about someone following him, as he had informed City Lord Wu to take care of such matters, Xiao Chen sat on the throne, looking at the City Lord kneeling in front of him, ready to report the situation.
City Lord Wu’s heart was gripped with fear as he sensed the aura of the Mysterious Platform Realm emanating from Xiao Chen.
The realization of Xiao Chen’s true power dispelled any lingering dissatisfaction he might have had.
Now, his only concern was to serve Xiao Chen diligently and ensure his favor.
