High-Level Martial Era - Chapter 780

Chapter 780: Chapter 412: Demigod Eight Star Veins! First Meeting Jing Kui
 

“Jiang Shan?”

Li Yuan said, “I have heard of the Princely Heir Jiang Shan’s fame, but I do not know why the Princely Heir would invite me?”

“If you do not state the reason, I am afraid I will not go.” Li Yuan said indifferently.

Jiang Shan, the brother of Jiang Xuan, is also a top-tier genius with the God Level Seven Star Veins… but what does this have to do with Li Yuan.

The servants standing by were all somewhat surprised upon hearing this… His Highness Jiang Shan, he is a significant figure in the Royal Capital.

Their own master actually refused?

“What? Not going?” A servant from the Royal Mansion was also startled.

Though he addressed him as ‘Young Master Xu Yuan’, he actually appeared quite arrogant.

In his view, an invitation from their lord is coveted by many in the Royal Capital, and a member of Divine Fire Palace at Flying Heaven Level would probably be thrilled to accept the invitation.

“Young Master Xu Yuan.” The servant frowned and said, “Don’t blame me for the harsh words, but our lord is…”

“Shut up!”

Suddenly, a reprimanding voice arose, followed by a flash of silver light flying in through the mansion’s main gate: “I asked you to respectfully invite Xu Yuan, what are you doing?”

“Your Highness! How did you come here?” The servant was stunned.

The person who arrived was Jiang Xuan, her face full of anger.

“Jiang Xuan.” Li Yuan showed a hint of a smile, “You’re back?”

Seeing Jiang Xuan, Li Yuan roughly understood the reason behind Jiang Shan’s invitation.

“Brother Xu, I apologize.” Jiang Xuan looked remorseful, “There are many things I can’t fully explain to my brother, please don’t blame… just now I was worried about this servant’s strange behavior, so I rushed over immediately.”

“It’s alright,” Li Yuan smiled.

Li Yuan knew that Jiang Xuan was kind but also extremely clever; she probably wouldn’t reveal too much even under the commands of Jiang Yuan True God.

“Brother Xu saved me, and my brother has already come to know of it, thus he wants to host the banquet to express his gratitude, that’s all.” Jiang Xuan said expectantly, “I hope Brother Xu can honor us with his presence.”

The bystanders were all agape.

Jiang Xuan? Many here did not actually recognize her, but that did not prevent them from understanding that she must be Jiang Shan’s sister, assuredly also a royal lady.

So polite towards Li Yuan.

“Who is this Xu Yuan, and what is his significance?” The Royal Mansion servant was even more flustered.

“Fine.”

“Jiang Xuan, then lead the way,” Li Yuan smiled.

He just happened to have some matters to inquire about.

Though capable of asking Jiang Xuan True God for help… if he needed her assistance for everything, he would likely be looked down upon.

“Brother Xu, please.” Jiang Xuan smiled, “I’ll lead the way.”

Saying this, she glanced at the servant, “Go back to the mansion and accept your punishment!”

“Yes, thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Young Master Xu Yuan,” the servant quickly responded, secretly relieved.

This was already the lightest punishment.

Following this, Jiang Xuan led the way, and Li Yuan flew out of the mansion, heading outside the Divine Fire Palace.

But they did not notice.

Within the Divine Fire Palace, several pairs of eyes were fixated on Li Yuan’s mansion.

“Quickly report to the Princely Heir, tell him that Xu Yuan has left the mansion, following ‘Princess Jiang Xuan’ from the Mist Mountain Mansion, unknown where they are heading.”

“Send someone to follow.”

…

Yuan Country Capital, immensely vast.

Each street was extremely wide, and the ground was lavishly paved, all emanating strong spiritual energy, while many luxurious buildings were built upon the clouds, filled with a mystical beauty.

A massive black dragon, moving along the cloudy streets, with many smaller black dragons following.

“I’ve been rushing these past few days, purposely taking a God Level Warship, just to rush back to the Royal Capital.” Jiang Xuan said, “I didn’t expect Brother Xu to have arrived much earlier, and even directly joined the Divine Fire Palace.”

“With Brother Xu’s strength, taking the first place on the Flying Heaven List would be effortless.” Jiang Xuan smiled, “Being merely tenth on the Flying Heaven List is an understatement.”

Jiang Xuan had personally witnessed Xu Yuan in action.

“It was directly arranged, just a nominal status.” Li Yuan said, the difference between ranking first and tenth was not significant.

“This Black Dragon Puppet Mount is quite nice,” Li Yuan stood on the Black Dragon, smiling.

“This is one of the mounts gifted by the King to my father, its value is comparable to a Top-Grade Virtual Divine Artifact.” Jiang Xuan explained at one side, “Within the Royal Capital, only princes and commanders can use it.”

Li Yuan slightly nodded, having read many reports, he also knew the strict hierarchy within the Divine Palaces.

Even if one owned treasures, one must have high enough status to use them.

“Brother, someone is following us,” Gu You’s voice suddenly echoed in Li Yuan’s mind.

“Hmm?” Li Yuan, sitting on the Jade Platform, glanced back, the person, despite hiding their presence, was still noticed.

“What is it, Brother Xu?” Jiang Xuan asked, puzzled.

“A small matter, someone is following us,” Li Yuan smiled.

“Following?” A hint of anger appeared on Jiang Xuan’s face, her mind moved, and she quickly lifted the ‘Sound Barrier Formation’ from their area, turned her head, and said, “Commander Mo, someone is following us, please check immediately.”

“Yes.” A Half-God Commander standing behind them immediately bowed.

“Third squad, follow me.” Commander Mo commanded.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two Half-Gods and several dozens of Flying Heaven Peak individuals immediately turned into streaks of light and rushed towards the back of the group.

After a short while,

Commander Mo returned with his troops, his face quite solemn.

“Reporting to Your Highness, we have found out that the followers are from the Virtual True Marquis Mansion, as for the reason for following, they did not reveal, and I did not dare to confront them, I await your punishment, Your Highness,” Commander Mo bowed.

“Virtual True Marquis Mansion?” Jiang Xuan’s expression changed slightly, she waved her hand, “I understand, it’s correct not to confront, Commander Mo, you may step back now.”

“Yes.” Commander Mo retreated quite a distance.

The formation was once again activated, making these guards unable to hear Li Yuan and Jiang Xuan’s conversation again.

“Brother Xu, it’s probably targeted at you,” Jiang Xuan spoke softly.

“Targeted at me?” Li Yuan was curious, he had just arrived at the Royal Capital and should not have offended anyone.
