Chapter 6303: Material Crystal

“It seems her death has indeed drastically changed your temperament!”

The figure on the opposite side slowly rose and walked to the window, where he paused before smiling faintly. “The current progress is still too slow. You need to hurry up, or even when the Great Luo descends, it won’t meet your requirements!”

“The branches of the Chiyang Sect are constantly converging, and soon they will be gathered. There will be a batch of celestial energy tonight. I must trouble the Celestial Master later!”

At this moment, Tang Huang actually bowed respectfully to that person, his expression filled with utmost reverence.

…

At the Zhanxian Tower.

Chang Feng brought Han Gong to the top floor. After glancing at the Grand Commander, he wisely retreated.

“The matter of Yang Xiao is not my concern. I can’t handle it, nor do I want to. If you have the ability, go outside the city and kill him yourself. I won’t stop you!”

Han Gong’s expression changed. He hadn’t even stated his conditions, yet this domineering Grand Commander of the Zhanxian Guards had already relented.

For a moment, Han Gong was at a loss and uncertain. “Really?”

“Have I ever lied?” The Grand Commander sneered.

The two of them had nothing more to discuss. Having received the answer he wanted, Han Gong immediately vanished from the Zhanxian Tower.

His figure dashed towards the outskirts of the city.

Intercept and kill Yang Xiao!

Yet, deep down, he couldn’t understand why the Grand Commander would do such a thing. What benefit did it bring him?

This opportunity, even if it didn’t bring down the entire Chiyang Sect, at least a few eyesores could be eliminated. Yet, without any conditions, he had agreed directly.

The more Han Gong thought about it, the more puzzled he became. But just as he passed through the third city gate, he sensed a team of Chiyang Sect cultivators and immediately understood.

“Not good!”

At this moment, nine teams of Chiyang Sect cultivators entered the imperial city in succession.

But as soon as they stepped into the city, hundreds of presences appeared around them, all of whom were Golden Core stage cultivators.

Additionally, two squads of Jinwu Guards personally intervened.

“Haha, I’ve been waiting for you!”

Chang Feng descended from the sky, squinting as he scanned the Chiyang Sect members and roared, “Capture them all! Anyone who dares resist, kill them on the spot!”

“Yes, sir!”

Hundreds of Golden Serpent Guards and dozens of Jinwu Guards immediately took action.

By the time the belated Han Gong rushed back, it was already too late.

This battle had alarmed many.

It also left Han Gong astonished at the Grand Commander’s tactics and his ability to conceal so many Zhanxian Guard presences.

The person seated across from him smiled faintly. “What now? Can’t even control your own subordinates? Want me to eliminate him for you?”

“Hmph, do you think this is a game? Killing whoever you want?” Tang Huang’s expression shifted, and he said in a deep voice, “That old man was a close confidant of the former emperor, and his influence is entrenched across the entire Eastern Land. Even though I’ve clipped his wings over the years, I can’t bring him down yet. If this were three years ago, I might have acted against him, but I can’t forget the lesson I learned three years ago!”

The wind and rain tonight grew even stronger!

Within the Princess’s mansion, however, there was a scene of song and dance.

The hidden back garden where Jian Wushuang resided remained pitch black, but he was already quite satisfied. Being able to settle in Tai’an City and incidentally using Chen Yuan to resolve matters in the Eastern Land’s cultivation world meant that obtaining treasures in the future would naturally follow.

At this moment, he was playing with a black square object.

“A crystallized material, could it be left from when that cultivation world shattered back then?” Jian Wushuang wondered in his heart.

This was something he had found on the body of a Xian Guard.

Two days had passed since then, and those two Xian Guards had been thrown onto the street by him. He originally thought that the Princess’s mansion would have been searched by now, but after waiting for two days, no one came.

Just now, he sensed the turmoil outside again, indicating that Tai’an City was indeed unstable, so no one paid attention to him.

Therefore, he turned his attention back to studying the crystallized material.

The thought power he had burned last time had already recovered, so he was no longer afraid of being probed by any Nascent Soul experts, which was why he could act so fearlessly.

“The power within this crystallized material is indeed substantial, enough to bring me to the Golden Core perfection stage. However, just the power within the material alone can’t help me reach the Nascent Soul stage!”

Jian Wushuang’s heart stirred as he gripped the crystal in one hand, unabashedly devouring the violent power within.

The power of the material world was indeed formidable. Just this small piece, weighing two to three jin, was enough to bring him to the Golden Core perfection stage.

If he could obtain one hundred thousand jin, he would be invincible in the human realm.

Moreover, this method of devouring was something only he could accomplish. Others simply couldn’t do it, not even Xiang Yang.

“A small Xian Guard actually possessed such a precious item, and it was merely used to conceal his aura? What a waste of a treasure!” Jian Wushuang was quite satisfied as he held the now fully absorbed crystallized material.

Where there’s one, there might be two. Perhaps others also had such crystallized materials on them.

This was far more useful than any of those natural treasures.

“Brother Wushuang, you’ve really struck it rich this time, directly reaching the Golden Core perfection stage. When will you get me a piece to absorb as well?” Xiang Yang’s eyes gleamed with greed as he stared at the absorbed crystallized material, his eyes almost popping out of his head.

He had personally witnessed Jian Wushuang’s aura surge significantly in the short time it took to burn a stick of incense, and he was immensely envious.

Jian Wushuang casually tossed the crystal over and said indifferently, “You can’t absorb it. This is a unique secret technique I created back then. Although my power is gone, I still remember the principles clearly. If I can get two more pieces like this, I can reach the Nascent Soul stage. By then, no one in the Tang Dynasty will be able to stop me, and natural treasures will be yours to choose as you please!”

“That’s true. If you’re invincible, that means I’m invincible too. Haha, I have to admit, I’m really looking forward to the day you regain all your strength!” Xiang Yang said with a face full of envy.

He had seen how powerful Jian Wushuang was at his peak.

Unfortunately, what he saw wasn’t Jian Wushuang’s true form.

If Jian Wushuang’s true form appeared, this world wouldn’t be able to withstand it, and it would have been shattered by a single sword long ago.

Jian Wushuang also smiled and, in the calmest tone, said the most domineering words, “When I regain my peak strength, I will make this world regret being created!”

The next day, at dawn.

Outside the Princess’s mansion, a carriage had already been prepared.

The consort attended court daily, and although he lived in the imperial city, it was still more than ten miles away, so naturally, he needed to take a carriage.

Chen Yuan walked out of the mansion, adjusted his clothes, and boarded the carriage.

Sitting inside the luxurious carriage, he mentally rehearsed the matters he would report during the morning court session.

In recent days, he had repeatedly impeached the Shanhai Prefecture several times.

Moreover, it had already yielded significant results. A court commissioner had been sent to receive the refugees from the Jiang Kingdom.

Everyone knew that those who crossed thousands of miles of the sea weren’t mere refugees; it was essentially a luxurious fleet.

Each of them carried gold and silver treasures.

Anyone who went could gain benefits. The advantages that originally could only be taken by the local aristocratic families of Shanhai Prefecture had now been directly taken over by the court due to Chen Yuan’s actions.

This was only the first step, far from enough.

But court affairs couldn’t be rushed; they had to be tackled step by step.

Outside the palace gates, dozens of court officials were slowly gathering, heading to court together.

Chen Yuan, as the consort, held the rank of a third-grade censor, a prestigious position. Though it was a subordinate third grade, in the outside world, it would make him a top official, far surpassing the status of a local governor.

“Consort, you’re quite early today!”

“In recent days, the consort has been in the spotlight. Shanhai Prefecture is going to experience an earthquake this time!”

The group of officials made remarks, some teasing, some flattering.
