Chapter 616: Breaking the martial calamity in seconds
When Xia Yuanlong and his entourage were led by the guard to the Xiyuan Hall of the Imperial Capital Academy where the dean was located, Chen Shen was asking Liao Cangmang for advice on alchemy problems.
Of course, the so-called "problem" is just an excuse for the young man to find something to say: there must be some special reason for coming to find him late at night.
"Oh, we finally found him... If it were a little later, I wouldn't have any questions to ask." Chen Shen had long expected that the King of Great Xia would try every means to find him. At this moment, he finally got his wish, but he still had to pretend to be surprised on his face.
Feeling, I opened my mouth wide and was speechless.
However, after Liao Cangmang recognized the visitor, he immediately leaned over and bowed: "I am here to see your majesty! I didn't know that your majesty was coming in person, but I missed you from afar. I hope your majesty will atone for your sins!"
After saying that, he didn't forget to nudge Chen Shen with his elbow, as if to say: "Don't be stunned, are you polite?"
As the direct son and grandson of the Chen family, Chen Shen had the privilege of not kneeling before the saint, so he just held his fists in a gesture, with a trace of disguised fear in his tone: "The common people pay homage to Your Majesty."
The King of Daxia held his hand slightly and signaled the two of them to stand up. He thought to himself: "So this boy is here to ask Liao Cangmang for advice. Hmm... He is so sleepless and forgets to eat and sleep. He is not at all like the playful nature mentioned by the eldest elder of the Chen family.
It’s not even relevant.”
"Then why does that guy Chen Jinyang want to ridicule his young master in front of Gu Gu?"
This question flashed through the mind of the King of Daxia.
In the past, he might have looked into it more deeply, but now, with Chen Zangfeng's jade shattered and people dead, how could Xia Yuanlong have the heart to care about such a trivial matter?
With a wave of his hand, he flicked the spacious golden sleeves of the dragon robe, and a burst of wind-based mysterious energy came out, condensing the force into a wall, creating a translucent mysterious energy barrier to separate people's ears and eyes, and then he said quietly: "Chen
Shen, I just want to ask you, did your grandfather leave a soul-sending jade with you before he left?"
"Soul Jade? No." Chen Shen shook his head decisively: "Back to Your Majesty, grandpa was ordered to go to Huainan. I only heard about it in the past two days. Before that, I had been practicing hard in seclusion."
"Oh? Is that so..." Xia Yuanlong frowned slightly, originally thinking that Chen Zangfeng might leave a soul jade to his close relatives.
After all, close relatives who are related by blood, when the soul jade is broken, can not only prove the unfortunate death of the other person, but also rely on the unique connection of the direct bloodline to roughly sense the place where the deceased person met the misfortune.
Now it seems that Xia Yuanlong's trip was in vain.
He was about to turn around and leave, but he didn't think about it, but was stopped by Chen Shen: "Your Majesty, you suddenly asked about the soul jade. Could it be... Could it be that something happened to my grandfather?"
The boy's voice trembled slightly and his tone was urgent.
The King of Daxia paused, and after weighing it in his mind, he felt that since Chen Shen was the only direct descendant of the Chen family, he also had the right to know about Chen Zangfeng's death.
As a result, the strong man in the dragon robe slowly turned around, looked at Chen Shen with mixed eyes for a moment, and sighed softly: "The soul jade your grandfather left in the Shenwu Palace is broken.
"
Chen Shen was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly shook his head: "No, it won't happen! Your Majesty, please don't make such a joke with ordinary people!"
"Chen Shen, calm down! Your Majesty means what you say, how can you say nonsense? You...you should express your condolences!" Dianlong suddenly said.
In fact, after learning the news that the veteran Chen Zang's Soul Jade was broken, this man with skin as dark as charcoal and a face as resolute as a mountain was really sad.
Looking across Daxia, the person he respects most is General Chen.
Dianlong asked himself that his current high position was not only due to His Majesty's trust, but also to the support and cultivation of the old general when he followed Chen Zangfeng in his early expeditions to the east and west.
"Don't believe it, I don't believe it! I want to go back to the Chen family. The family elders should have another soul jade. The explosion of the soul jade in the Shenwu Palace might just be an accident."
Chen Shen was just about to rush out of the room, but was blocked by the eunuch Li Zongming, who whispered: "Your Majesty came here from the Chen Mansion. The soul-carrying jade that General Chen left for the family was also broken...
"
"What? This..."
Chen Shen was stunned for a moment. In fact, he was just acting.
In order not to be noticed by everyone present, the young man squatted decisively on the ground, held his head in his hands, lowered his face and held his chest, so that no one could see his expression.
The King of Daxia sighed again and said comforting words: "Chen Shen, don't be sad, your grandpa..."
"Ahhhhhh!"
Before Xia Yuanlong finished speaking, he suddenly heard a heartbreaking roar coming from Chen Shen's mouth.
Then, the young man's fingertips flashed with white light, as if he took out a mysterious pill from the space mysterious ring, and swallowed it wholeheartedly.
"Chen Shen, what are you doing?" Liao Cangmang was afraid that he would commit suicide, so he was about to rush over and use his soul power to see what the young man had swallowed.
Unexpectedly, Chen Shen raised his head fiercely and let out a long roar. At the same time, his whole body suddenly aroused violent thunder-type profound energy——
"Zira...Zira..."
The King of Daxia raised his eyebrows slightly, with an unhappy look on his face.
It was just because in Xia Yuanlong's eyes, Chen Shen was too arrogant and out of character. He dared to unleash his mysterious energy without reservation in front of the king of a country, roaring angrily, without any respect for the king or the saint.
If it weren't for his grandfather's sake, the King of Great Xia might have punished him for the crime of not being above the throne.
"Chen Shen, what are you doing? Calm down quickly!" The eunuch Li Zongming was also startled by Chen Shen's abnormal behavior at this moment.
"Is it possible that this kid is overly sad and has inner demons consuming his soul?" Liao Cangmang became more and more nervous: "Your Majesty, please allow me to knock him out, so that Chen Shen will not offend the monarch while he is unconscious."
Xia Yuanlong nodded slightly to show his acquiescence.
Liao Cangmang was just about to take action, but he didn't think about it, but was stopped by the young man's intermittent words: "Wait, wait a minute! I'm fine, all of you, don't move..."
"Huh?" From what he said, it seems that this kid still has a little bit of sanity?
The King of Daxia narrowed his eyes slightly, waved his hand lazily, and motioned for Liao Cangmang to step back: "I want to see what he is up to."
After a short breath——
"Buzz...chi!"
"Eh? Your Majesty, Chen Shen's profound energy power has actually reached the peak of the Nine-Star Xuanshi?" the great eunuch Li Zongming suddenly shouted.
"That's true. He is only sixteen years old, right? It is extremely rare to reach the peak of Xuanshi at the age of sixteen." A trace of relief flashed in the eyes of the King of Great Xia.
After another breath——
"Buzz! Sizzle..."
The purple-red thunder all over the young man's body became more and more powerful, and his power increased a lot again!
"One star... Master Xuan?" Liao Cangmang was shocked.
Dian Long and Li Zongming were also stunned: "This kid can break through a human's martial calamity in an instant? How is this possible?"
