Su Chen finally stayed with Li Qingyue. Many people saw that in just half a cup of tea, the identity of King Zhentian spread throughout the entire imperial city.
"Why is he only in the late Xuanxian stage?"
In secret, someone was silently watching Su Chen's back. Using his spiritual sense, including other secret treasures he had explored, he could only see that Su Chen's cultivation was only at the late stage of Xuanxian.
What's going on?
Could it be that Li Qingyue felt that there was no way to solve the problem in Lingxu County, so she just found someone to go through the motions?
Although the power of King Zhentian is indeed very great, if he is only in the late stage of Xuanxian, he will not be able to do anything even if he goes to Lingxu County, and he may even die there.
After all, Lingxu County is often plagued by evil cults. Su Chen, a late Xuanxian, died in such a place. Even the royal family could not say anything. They could only send people to encircle and suppress the evil cult again.
Su Chen did not bring anyone else with him and just quietly headed towards Lingxu County. He noticed that many people were looking at him along the way, but he didn't care.
This time I went to Lingxu County, on the one hand to deal with troubles, but mostly for sightseeing.
He was not fast and it took him nearly ten days to reach Lingxu County.
In the Nine Star Empire, each county has its own territory. As soon as Su Chen arrived in Lingxu County, he was stopped by three people.
"Stop, what are you doing?"
The three men were wearing armor and were obviously the ones guarding the border of Lingxu County.
Su Chen took out his identity token of the Heavenly King: "I am the Heavenly King, responsible for coming to Lingxu County to deal with the affairs of the Demon Cult."
The King of Heaven?
The three people's expressions changed, and then quickly returned to normal. One of them looked Su Chen up and down, and then shouted coldly: "Catch this lunatic who forged the identity of the Heavenly King!"
Su Chen frowned slightly.
The man continued, "The status of the Heavenly King is so noble, how could he be a mere Xuanxian?"
The three men immediately surrounded Su Chen, looking like they were ready to attack at any time.
"stop!"
A figure suddenly appeared through the air. He was wearing a simple robe and exuded an extremely powerful aura. He was a cultivator at the level of Immortal King.
The three of them immediately bowed and saluted: "Greetings, Grand Commander!"
The Grand Commander looked towards Su Chen, frowning slightly: "You said you are the Heavenly King?"
Su Chen nodded and looked at the few people with interest. At first, he thought that these three soldiers did not know his identity, but after the commander-in-chief came, he noticed something unusual.
This is intentional.
But he didn't know what these people were going to do next.
The Grand Commander's expression was somewhat serious: "How do you want to prove your identity?"
Su Chen pointed to the Heavenly King Token in his hand and asked curiously, "Isn't this enough?"
The Grand Commander shook his head. "Of course, tokens can be forged. Besides, you are only at the Xuanxian realm. His Majesty would not allow a Xuanxian cultivator to hold such an important position."
"But since you hold the token of the Heavenly King, I will assume that you are truly the Heavenly King. However, the judiciary in Lingxu County is strict, so I need to confirm the authenticity of your identity token first."
Su Chen didn't say anything, just handed over the token and made a gesture of invitation, but there was always a hint of amusement in his eyes.
The Grand Commander took the token in his hand and examined it carefully.
Soon, he bowed again.
"The workmanship of the token is fine, but your identity still needs to be verified. Please rest in Baiyun City for a few days. I will send someone to the royal family to verify your identity."
"How many days of rest?" Su Chen's mouth curled up slightly: "How many days of rest should I take? Do you have an accurate answer?"
The Grand Commander shook his head. "It's not my job to report this to the Imperial Family. I need to inform Her Excellency the Princess first, and then Her Excellency the Princess will arrange for the message to be delivered. However, I will expedite this matter. I don't think it will take long, perhaps ten days or half a month."
Su Chen narrowed his eyes. In ten days or half a month, all the clues of the previous demonic massacre in the city might have been cut off, right?
"Please."
The Grand Commander spoke again. He had no intention of discussing with Su Chen. The royal family sent a cultivator at the Xuanxian realm. Doesn’t that mean they have no intention of dealing with their Lingxu County?
In this case, why should he give face to this Heavenly King?
If King Zhentian really barged in with all his might, he would kill him on the spot as an invader.
Su Chen glanced at King Zhentian. As a cultivation empire, the Nine Star Empire had a very simple matter of sending messages, and it would only take one or two hours at most to confirm his identity.
But they are so good at procrastinating.
Su Chen smiled faintly, "I remember one thing. The Heavenly King has the power to inspect all officials. I guess I'm the only one who can manage others, and no one else has the right to manage me, right? As the Grand Commander of Lingxu County, you made me wait for ten days or half a month just because you have doubts about my identity."
"Who taught you to do this?"
At this point, he had actually already realized that the Grand Commander and the princess were probably in cahoots.
The Grand Commander frowned slightly, his expression turning cold. "Your identity hasn't been confirmed yet. What if it's a fabricated one? Also, ten days or half a month isn't a long time. If by then you're indeed the Heavenly King, I'll personally apologize to you."
Su Chen looked at him deeply, then changed the question: "What is the name of the place where the demons massacred the city?"
The Grand Commander's expression was indifferent: "Before your identity is confirmed, these things are not something you should know."
"Why."
Su Chen couldn't help but sigh. He originally wanted to talk nicely, but these people just didn't give him a chance.
He silently glanced at the Grand Commander. The other party was an Immortal King cultivator, so when facing Su Chen, he had no fear at all and kept looking at Su Chen coldly.
The next moment.
The Grand Commander's expression froze, and his vision began to spin, as if someone had thrown him into the air, and then he rolled to the ground.
The Grand Commander wanted to control his body, but found that he was unable to do so, or rather, he no longer had a body.
His head kept spinning in the air, then fell down, his immortal soul was quickly annihilated, and the face of the Grand Commander was filled with disbelief and fear.
His thoughts became extremely slow, but he was still confused.
Why?
Could he possess such terrifying strength?
You should know that I am the Immortal King. If someone wants to kill me so easily, he must be at least at the Immortal Lord level. In order to deal with Lingxu County, the royal family actually sent out a strong man at the Immortal Lord level. This means that they intend to completely cleanse the entire Lingxu County.
It’s over!
