The rumor about Ye Chen killing Fan Wujin, the prodigy of the Fan clan of the Chiyang Divine Kingdom, is still spreading throughout the entire royal city at an extremely crazy speed.
As time went on, not only the middle and lower classes of the royal city knew about this, but even the Four Pillars of Heaven had learned of this information.
Everyone knows that although this matter is small, its impact is far-reaching.
Since Ye Chen's sudden rise, he has successively broken through the Zhenbei City and Shattered Ice City of the Chiyang Divine Kingdom, and indirectly led the Xuanbing Army to an epic victory over the Chiyang Divine Kingdom.
In addition, there is now conclusive evidence proving that the contemporary genius and fighting madman Fan Wujin was directly killed by Ye Chen.
It immediately gives people a feeling of being invincible and unstoppable.
It greatly boosted the morale of the entire Xuanbing Divine Kingdom.
The higher Ye Chen's reputation is, the more likely he is to submit to a certain force. That force will be able to gain this potential energy and receive more support.
This is the star effect.
Xuanbing Royal City, inside Xuanbing Palace.
In a huge ice crystal castle that looks like a fairyland, behind an exquisite dragon table, a slender and beautiful woman with supreme majesty sits gracefully on the ice crystal dragon throne.
Her hair was tied up high, showing off her flawless oval face.
Those narrow and long phoenix eyes made her look more majestic without even being angry, while the small teardrop mole under her right eye added a touch of charm to her coldness.
At this moment, she slightly hooked her jade fingers, causing the slim red robe embroidered with the ice phoenix on her body to move slightly.
A memorial book quietly flew from the desk into her hands.
She looked at the story for a long time, as if she had some difficult decision to make in her heart, and her brows couldn't help but frown slightly.
The jade hand rose unconsciously and put the tail end of the heavenly pen in her hand into the sandalwood mouth.
The neat and white teeth kept biting the end of the pen gently, and dozens of tiny tooth marks were left on the end of the pen that day. It was obvious that this was not the first time it had suffered such "abuse".
At this moment, a beautiful woman wearing a light blue dress and a Jinxian crown on her head walked into the hall.
She walked up to the dragon table and reported softly, "Your Majesty, the matter you asked me to do has been completely completed. Your Majesty, rest assured..."
"Um……"
The Xuanbing Empress above nodded slightly without saying anything more. Her phoenix eyes remained fixed on the book fold. A cold and majestic female voice slowly rang out: "Is there any new development outside?"
"Nothing serious has happened yet. Your uncle, Frost Soul Heavenly King, and his clan have not made any unusual moves. They are all under our surveillance, but..."
"but?"
Upon hearing this, Empress Xuanbing raised her snow-white chin slightly, and her narrow and long phoenix eyes moved away from the folds of the book to look at the female official, waiting for the next words.
The female official suddenly felt the powerful pressure of the emperor, which made her heart tremble. She did not dare to hide anything and immediately said, "The young general named Ye Chen summoned by His Majesty has just arrived in the royal city recently, but there are some minor problems..."
"What's wrong with him?" the empress asked softly.
"Not long ago, he was invited to the first branch of the Ling Clan. They seemed to have treated Ye Chen very warmly and even gave him beautiful women, magic weapons, and other things in an attempt to win him over."
"What's the result?"
When the empress heard this, her tone suddenly turned cold.
The female official below could naturally sense the Empress's mood swings and quickly said, "It seems the result was a bad one. Ye Chen didn't accept any threats or inducements from the other party and simply left the branch's residence."
As soon as the female official finished speaking, she felt the imperial pressure on her suddenly lighten.
The empress above seemed to be sitting in a more casual and relaxed posture.
However, there was no change of emotion on the empress's perfect oval face, which remained cold and calm.
Feng Mu returned to the book and spoke sternly and coldly, "This is the proper behavior of a subject. Don't worry about it. What else is there?"
"……yes."
The female official seemed to have understood the empress's temper very well, and continued, "There is another matter concerning Ye Chen. According to reliable intelligence, Ye Chen was ambushed by the Chiyang Divine Nation's prodigy Fan Wujin on his way to the royal city. As a result..."
The female official paused, a smile playing on her lips as she spoke, "In the end, Fan Wujin was killed by General Ye Chen. This incident has now spread throughout the entire royal city, shocking the government and the public. Even the Four Heavenly Pillars families have heard of it."
After finishing her speech in one breath, the female official bowed to the empress above, "Your Majesty has a keen eye for talent, and is wise and valiant. No one can match you!"
"Alright, I don't want to hear these flattering words. Besides, it's too early to judge whether this person can help me or whether he has real talent..."
The empress waved her jade hand gently and rose gracefully. Her phoenix robe set off her noble and majestic appearance. "I am going to retreat to the forbidden area. Tell him to come see me after noon tomorrow!"
After saying this, the empress turned around and turned into ice crystals and disappeared.
The female official below bowed again in the direction where the empress disappeared and said "Yes, Your Majesty."
…
Blazing Sun Divine Kingdom.
In the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.
The Marquis of Zhenbei was practicing with his son Fang Rui.
In the huge training room, flames roared and the temperature was extremely high, just like purgatory.
After a while, the Marquis of Zhenbei gently knocked Fang Rui away again, and then signaled Fang Rui to rest for a while.
"Father, I feel like I've already reached the fourth level of the True Martial Heart Sutra. Just give me another month, and with the elixir you begged from Master Zhu for me, I'll definitely be able to break through!"
Zhenbei Hou nodded with satisfaction and said with a faint smile: "As long as you have confidence in yourself."
Fang Rui nodded heavily, his eyes filled with determination as he said, "When this prince meets that damned Fan Wujin again, I will make him taste my might. I will beat him back just as hard as he beat me before!"
Marquis Zhenbei nodded slightly. Seeing his son regain his confidence was naturally the best thing.
Immediately, he looked outside the room and asked majestically, "What's the matter?"
Then, a figure appeared in the room, knelt on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, we have urgent information from the Xuanbing Divine Kingdom!"
"speak!"
Zhenbei Hou shouted coldly.
"……yes."
The figure did not hesitate and immediately reported: "Fan Wujin sneaked into the Xuanbing Divine Kingdom to assassinate Ye Chen... and failed."
"Failed??"
Before the Marquis of Zhenbei could speak, Fang Rui impulsively ran over, grabbed the man in front of him, and demanded, "This prince asks you, what does failure mean?"
