Chapter 129: Pardon Me For This Disturbance, Your Highness

A massive revolution happened in the South Immortal Commandery in the span of a few days. It involved over 400 officials and a total of 109 sects.

Those who knew about this matter kept their mouths mum, whereas the common populace knew next to nothing about this at all. They only sensed that the trouble around them seemed to have greatly lessened.

The martial artists who usually demanded protection fees from them were nowhere to be seen, and even if they occasionally passed by them on the streets, those martial artists would put up a humble and respectful attitude.

The Auspicious King Manor was located in the South Immortal Commanderys most affluent Soaring Light City, which was around fifteen kilometers away from the Profound Saber Sect.

As a half-sibling of the Great Xias emperor, the Auspicious King was ninth in terms of seniority. He had displayed outstanding talent in managing military affairs back in his younger years, so the previous emperor bestowed the entire southern region to him.

Thirty years had passed since.

The Auspicious King anxiously paced around his solemn and dignified manor. His consort and eight good-looking sons and daughters nervously looked at him.

Your Highness, is there no chance to turn things around? the Auspicious King Consort couldnt hold it in anymore and asked.

Turn things around? The Auspicious King looked at her with a vexed smile. Fang Chen killed thousands of martial artists with a single strike. How do you expect us to turn things around? His means far exceeds my imagination!

There was a brief pause before he lamented. I thought that an Earth Profound martial artist would still be no more than a mere martial artist, but who could have thought that he possesses such overwhelming means?

No matter how powerful he is, he is a subject, whereas youre the Ninth King. The southern region is your conferred land. The Great Xias emperor is your older brother! Fang Chen might be bold, but surely he wouldnt dare to lay his hand on you? the Auspicious King Consort said with a frown.

He is the Xia Imperial Duke; my older brother personally conferred the title to him. That is a transcendental position. If we get down to the semantics, his standing is half a rank higher than my Auspicious King! the Auspicious King grimly replied. Given my brothers personality, he wouldnt have bestowed this title to Fang Chen unless he was cornered. Even my brother cant curb Fang Chen, let alone me!

But father, so what if hes the Xia Imperial Duke? Hes still an outsider. I dont believe hed dare to kick a fuss in our Auspicious King Manor! one of the youths spoke up.Follow current novels at novelhall.com)

He was the Auspicious Kings eldest son, Xia Song.

Big brother is right! Killing a member of the imperial family is equivalent to revolting. No matter how bold Fang Chen is, he wouldnt dare to do that! Xia Songs younger siblings voiced their agreement for his words.

He wont kill me. The Auspicious King shook his head. But all of the arrangements I have made over the years will be going down the drain. Well have to live with our tails between our legs in the southern region from this day onward.

Jue Panshis face darkened. He turned to Fang Chen and muttered, Imperial Duke Fang, Linghu Xu was from the Carefree Palace. While Xian Wuchang was the one who headed the revolution, and the Carefree Palace never made an appearance from the start to the end, that doesnt prove that they werent involved in it.

Be patient. The Auspicious King will meet me. Fang Chen smiled.

Jue Panshi decided to keep quiet and wait patiently.

Soon, a person came out and told Linghu Xu, General Linghu, His Highness invites Imperial Duke Fang into the manor.

This way please, Imperial Duke Fang. Linghu Xu stepped aside.

Under the escort of the hundred elite guards, Fang Chen was brought to the Auspicious King Manors main hall, where he was warmly welcomed by the Auspicious King.

Imperial Duke Fang, it has been many years! Pardon our lack of hospitality.

The Auspicious King Consort stood beside the Auspicious King with a bright smile.

Xia Song and the others stood behind them, and they couldnt help but assess Fang Chen. They had never met Fang Chen before; they had only heard about his affairs.

He is indeed very young Xia Song thought with a slight frown. He was older than Fang Chen, as well as a member of the imperial family, yet his reputation in Great Xia didnt even amount to a thousandth of Fang Chens.

Youre too courteous, Your Highness. Fang Chen clasped his fist with a smile. He eyed Commandery Chief Li, who sat by the corner with a hanging head, and chuckled. Youre here as well, Commandery Chief Li.

Commandery Chief Li shook as if he had been struck by lightning. He awkwardly raised his head and looked at Fang Chen with a strained smile. Imperial Duke Fang

Take him down, Fang Chen ordered.

Jue Panshi and his subordinates rushed at Commandery Chief Li and tied him up. The latter screamed in horror.

Linghu Xu tried to make a move, but the Auspicious King stopped him with a raise of his hand. The crowd watched as Jue Panshi and the others carried the bound Commandery Chief Li over to Fang Chens side.

Pardon me for this disturbance, Your Highness. Fang Chen smiled.
