Chapter 131: Remnants of the Imperial Relic (Short Chapter, Please Subscribe)
When the rainbow light shone, autumn snow spread across the horizon.
Cheng Guang was taking in the rewards of fusing with the Saint Dao Fruit while calming his own Qi.
He did not know what the Saint Dao Fruit meant to the people of the world, nor did he know what the Ancient Tang Monk had experienced during the primal era.
Yet, in his heart, he was immensely curious about these legendary figures.
Cheng Guang exhaled slowly, aware that after his cultivation improved, he might have the chance to encounter such characters.
As Cheng Guang opened his eyes and was about to push open the door, he suddenly sensed that the sky outside had darkened.
After opening the door,
What caught his eye was the clear moon hanging in the sky, and in the Million Specie Garden, several people stood sparsely.
Qin Yanqiu and Ning Qianxue were sitting in a stone pavilion nearby.
When they heard the sound of the door opening, both shifted their gaze towards Cheng Guang.
At the same time, Cheng Guang's eyes also fell on the two of them.
Qin Yanqiu and Ning Qianxue were beautiful in their own right, and the pale moonlight that fell on them reflected a glow as translucent as white jade.
A sight too beautiful for words.
Cheng Guang only glanced at them briefly, smiled and nodded as a greeting, then turned his gaze towards Qin Beifeng who was standing aside.
"Mr. Qin."
Upon seeing Cheng Guang come out, feeling the aura emitting from him, Qin Beifeng's eyes involuntarily narrowed.
He was shocked.
He speculated that Cheng Guang might have encountered an incredible opportunity in the Secret Realm, with his cultivation having rapidly advanced.
Qin Beifeng opened his mouth slightly but in the end didn't ask anything more; in face of Cheng Guang's call, he nodded slightly, then respectfully said, "Princely Heir."
Cheng Guang asked, "Mr. Qin, what brings you here today?"
As he spoke, a hint of puzzled curiosity appropriately surfaced on his face.
Seeing the confusion that appeared on Cheng Guang's face, Qin Beifeng realized that Cheng Guang might not even know the commotion he had just caused.
If it weren't for him and Cheng Zhihai holding down the fort at Duke Zhen's Mansion, who knows how many powerhouses would have made their way inside at this time to spy on Cheng Guang, the Town-Nation Duke's Heir.
Qin Beifeng forced a smile.
"Princely Heir, I'm afraid it wasn't just me who came today. Cheng Zhihai and even his entire Bureau of the Lamp rushed over because of you, Princely Heir... surrounding the Duke Zhen's Mansion."
"They just didn't enter the mansion, that's all."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Guang's eyes widened slightly, "What do you mean by that?"
No sooner had Cheng Guang spoken, he realized something.
"Could it be..."
Qin Beifeng nodded slightly.
Cheng Guang was taken aback for a moment, then stroked his chin, nodding lightly.
It was not so surprising, after all.
The Heavenly Dao Pill that enabled one to attain the Fruits of Path to Divinity would certainly not cause a small commotion when consumed.
It probably attracted the attention of countless people in the world.
This time, he was well protected by Cheng Zhihai and Qin Beifeng. While he consumed the Heavenly Dao Pill in his bedroom, he was not disturbed in the slightest.
Even the sounds of battle from outside had not reached Cheng Guang's ears.
If he had not stepped outside, he probably wouldn't have known what was happening in the outside world.
"Are there still people outside now?"
Cheng Guang looked at Qin Beifeng, his eyebrows raising slightly as he asked.
Qin Beifeng looked up at the sky, then said to Cheng Guang, "Princely Heir, there should be far fewer people now."
"Unless a Sky-Man steps in, no one can break into Duke Zhen's Mansion."
"Those are just some rats hiding in the shadows, too cowardly to show their faces, that's all the courage they have."
As Qin Beifeng spoke, his tone clearly conveyed his disdain for those powerhouses lurking around, spying on Cheng Guang.
They were intensely curious about the disturbance caused by Cheng Guang.
They wanted to get closer to see what opportunity Cheng Guang had garnered from the Secret Realm and whether there was a chance to share in the spoils.
But,
Most of them were afraid of the power wielded by Duke Zhen's Mansion, only able to cover up their faces and hide their identities, making moves in secret.
While their strengths were not particularly formidable to begin with, now that they were hiding and hesitating to engage fully, their power had been reduced by more than thirty percent.
If they could freely fight, Qin Beifeng would indeed be worried that they might break through the cordon of the Bureau of the Lamp's guards, enter Duke Zhen's Mansion, and make it to this Million Specie Garden.
Though most of them would not be a match for Qin Beifeng himself,
Allowing them to enter the Million Specie Garden and disturb Cheng Guang would not be desirable.
After Qin Beifeng finished speaking,
Cheng Guang slowly nodded.
The majority of Sky-Men in the world were now trapped in the Secret Realm, and apart from the Duke of the State, there was no other Sky-Man in the whole Great Zhou. To have a Sky-Man act against him was not so easy.
On the other hand,
Even if a Sky-Man did make a move against him,
He would not be the least bit fearful.
In fact, he might even be excited to test out the abilities he had acquired from the fusion with the Saint Dao Fruit.
Even if he couldn't defeat the Sky-Man, surviving would certainly not be a problem.
Cheng Guang wished to see how long he could last under the hand of a Sky-Man, with just the Power of the Primordial Spirit of Spirit Dao.
Cheng Guang pondered in his heart.
In the night sky at this moment, faint flashes of white light still twinkled from the explosive sound of Qi.
After Cheng Guang emerged from his room, the visions in the sky gradually began to dissipate, and many of those stirring outside couldn't help but nurse thoughts of retreat upon seeing the celestial phenomena abating.
