Repugnant Gateway Chapter 263

Chen Shaobai used the war chariot that An Zaiyue had come from to send An Zaihe back to Fang Bancheng. When the war chariot stopped above Fang Bancheng, An Zaibai was still waiting for the so-called Thirteen Sword Slave to send him down. Swordsman Thirteen grabbed An Zhe and threw him down.

Some people say that the difference between falling from high alt.i.tude is the difference between falling from high alt.i.tude and falling from high above is the difference between falling from high alt.i.tude and falling from high above is the difference between falling from high alt.i.tude.

He still had time to think about a lot of things when he fell from such a high place.

If I was a watermelon, how big would it be if I fell on the ground and broke into pieces?

Bang!

An Zhan landed heavily on the ground.

A huge crater was directly blasted into the solid streets of Fang Gengcheng, and a cloud of smoke shot up into the sky.

The broken rocks started to shake, and waves of air swept out in two directions.

The peddlers on both sides of the street were out of luck. They basically couldn't buy anything they sold.

The dust dispersed.

An Zaixin walked over with his hands on the edge of the crater. He looked extremely handsome.

Steel tendons and iron bones were only mediocre.

In the next second, An Zaixian rushed out while nodding and bowing, accompanied by laughter. One by one, he started to compensate the peddlers.

Thankfully, he was already used to carrying silver notes when he went out, so he handed them out one by one …

Not long after, the news of An Zhe dropping from the sky to spread. By the time a group of people arrived without knowing the truth of the matter, An Zhe had already ran back to the Heavenly Avenge Sect like a wisp of smoke.

It was only when he returned to the sect did he realize that not much time had pa.s.sed.

Although the Heaven Defying Seal was good, it made one's cultivation rise a bit too slowly.

Even though he had stayed there for a long time, he had relied on endless cultivation to increase his cultivation level.

To cultivators, the cessation of time was a good thing. Their hearts would become restless.

Therefore, to An Zaiyue and the others, the Heaven Defying Seal seemed more like an extremely safe haven.

""When did you leave?""

I saw you sitting there in a daze last night. ""

An Zeng placed the breakfast on the table, ""I'll tell you in detail later. Did anything happen since last night?""

""Where's Xiao Qidao?""

""He's still in the Heaven Defying Seal. Didn't you say that he won't let Little Seven out?""

""What's wrong?""

An Zhan shook his head. ""It's good that you're fine.""

Qu Liuxi and Gu Qianye walked in hand in hand, and when they saw An Chou, Gu Qianye jumped over and hugged An Chou's neck, ""Aiyah, our sect master heard me talking in my sleep. He knew that I wanted to eat greasy tofu this morning, so he went out specifically to buy it.""

""Explain yourself,"" he said with a thin smile. ""How could you sleep and talk in your sleep?""

Gu Qianye's face reddened, ""If I didn't miss it, I would have slapped this bowl of tofu onto your face.""

Du giggled.

Qu Liuxi sat down next to An Zaixin, occasionally glancing at him. ""Did something happen?""

""What is it?""

Qu Liuxi quietly held on to An Zhan's hand under the table, and then her face turned bright with joy: ""You broke through last night?""

Why was there no sound at all?

""Furthermore, I can feel that your body seems to have changed and become stronger.""

Lean tilted his head and looked under the table. Then he sighed.

Gu Qianye sat there and ate a big mouthful of breakfast, as if he hadn't heard anything.

Qu Liuxi wanted to retract her hand, but An Chou didn't let go.

The two of them held hands and finished eating breakfast. Qu Liuxi looked a bit uneasy, but her hands were getting warmer and warmer.

The size of the Heavenly Enlightenment Sect was growing bigger and bigger, and many things needed to be done peacefully.

Anjou let Madman Qu and Rang-Jing stay in charge for a while, then brought Skinny Du and the others to the Heavenly Enlightenment Sect.

He narrated the matter of going to the secret realm to Gu Qianye, who was unhappy, ""This is such a fun thing, next time bring me along.""

An Zhan took out all the treasures he had picked up and said, ""Let's see who these items are suitable for. Everyone can split them now.""

He found a very high-grade Wolf Fang Blade and a piece of Mysterious-Iron s.h.i.+eld from within it. ""I will give these two items to you.""

While the few of them were studying the magic tools, a person wearing the uniform of a young eunuch from Heavenly Temple came to the entrance. He said that it was the King summoning An Zou.

Old Huo called the eunuch out and had him take a look. He didn't know this young eunuch.

""Who are you?""

""My lord, have you asked this servant to ask Sir, but have you met Eunuch An?""

Since that day when Eunuch An left the Heavenly Imperial Palace, he hadn't returned.

""He said he was here to look for you, my lord. My lord is a little anxious, so he asked this servant to come over and take a look.""

An Zhan frowned slightly. ""An Chengli?""

""I've never been here before.""

The young eunuch's expression clearly changed. ""Since that's the case, then I'll have to trouble you to follow this servant to Empyrean Terminus Palace. You should personally go and report to the king.""

An Zaixin thought for a moment, sooner or later, she would see Mu Changyan out.

Now that he knew Mu Changyan was under control, it was good to meet him in the area and see what he was up to.

Thus, he agreed and went back to change into his official uniform before returning to Empyrean Terminus Palace with the young eunuch.

Halfway there, he calmly asked the young eunuch, ""When did you enter the palace? How come I've never seen you before?""

The eunuch said humbly, ""Your servant only entered the palace yesterday. Since Eunuch An is not here, your servant has done a lot more.""

""Your servant is called Xiang Chun. If Your Lords.h.i.+p has any orders in the future, just say them.""

Even though he had never seen this young eunuch before, he still felt that there was something familiar about him.

Later, Anjou found out that it was the smell.

It was as if someone had smelled it, but for a moment he couldn't remember it.

This smell was very faint. If it wasn't for the fact that Anfey had fought for so many years in the Great Yue State, and was already used to being sensitive to details, others wouldn't be able to detect it.

If it was anyone else, they would have thought that the young eunuch was suppressing the smell of the powdered fat.

An Zaiyan followed Spring into Empyrean Terminus Palace, and when he entered, he saw Chen Zaiyan walking quickly towards the outside.

An Zaixin's heart skipped a beat, and he said to Chun, ""Go back and report to the king. Tell him that I will be right there. I have a few words to say to His Excellency Chen Zaiyan.""

Since that Xiang Chun was new to the palace, he didn't dare to say anything. He simply nodded and left.

An Zaixin chased after Chen Zaiyan, lowering his voice to tell him that Duke Yan, Mu Changyan, was most likely already under the empress dowager's control.

It was not easy for Chen Zeyan to maintain his composure. He did not say anything else and left in a hurry.

An Zaiyan was worried that Chen Zaiyan would be honest in front of Mu Changyan, but all the words he said would be known by the empress dowager.

Currently, the only people in the Yan Dynasty's imperial court who were truly doing anything were Chen Zaiyan and his men. If Chen Zaiyan and the others were truly defeated, the Yan Kingdom would not be far from being destroyed.

Now, they had spent a huge amount of financial and material resources to fight against the You Country. So far, the Yan Country had yet to collapse. Firstly, it was because of the general's ability to know his friends, and secondly, it was because of the warriors of the Military Department.

When An Zizheng entered the Heavenly Protection Hall, he saw Mu Changyan sitting on a chair in a daze.

""Greetings, King.""

An Zaixian said.

Mu Changyan turned to the side and looked at An Zaiyue with a strange expression.

It was precisely because of the fact that An Zaiyue already knew about it that he had paid close attention to it.

He was shocked, because Mu Changyan's eyes were different from how they were a few days ago.

Could it be that something had happened to Mu Changyan during this night?

""Where's An-Cheng-Li?""

""Where's Nie Qing?""

Mu Changyan asked with a strange tone.

An Zaiyue knew that Mu Changyan was no longer sitting opposite him, but he still pretended that he didn't see anything.

""This subject doesn't know.""

""An Chengli said he was going to see you and didn't come back.

""Gu sent Nie Qing to look for him, but Nie Qing also didn't return … You really don't know?""

""This subject doesn't know that Eunuch An came to find me, but when this subject was at the Martial Arts Academy, his family said that Nie Qing had come, but by the time this subject rushed home, Nie Qing had already left.""

""As for where Nie Qing went later on, this subject really doesn't know.""

Mu Changyan's expression changed. After a slight grunt, she turned her head to the window and said, ""Have a peaceful fight … The people around me who can use it are getting fewer and fewer.""

An Chengli must have felt that there was no good future ahead of him, so he ran away.

As for Nie Qing, perhaps he will return, perhaps he won't.

""Therefore, you are the only one who can trust me. There are some things that I can only rely on you to do.""

""Your Majesty commands.""

""Bring Little Seven here.""

""Huh?""

An Zaiyan looked at Mu Changyan, ""Didn't the King say that it would be safer for Xiao Qidao to stay with us?""

Mu Changyan said, ""Now that the environment has changed, I intend to let Xiao Qidao come to my side so that I can feel more at ease.""

""Gu will personally teach him to become a qualified King of Swallow in the future.""

An Zaidao remained silent for a while before saying, ""This subject understands. After this subject returns, I will personally bring Xiao Qidao to Heavenly Temple.""

Mu Changyan's expression became friendly as she replied, ""Yes, I know your loyalty.""

""Duan Ren, come in.""

Duan Ren, who was standing outside, quickly walked in and bowed, ""Your Majesty, please instruct me.""

Duan Ren was the original commander of the Black Tortoise Camp. Later on, Mu Changyan replaced him with An Zhan.

Last time when the Gao Family attacked Heavenly Temple, Duan Ren left at the last moment.

Because Mu Changyan was under control, all the power under his command was detected by the empress dowager, so Duan Ren was called back.

However, what Duan Ren did not know was that Mu Changyan was no longer the Swallow King that they regarded as their spiritual leader.

""Go back with An Zaidao, and protect Little Qidao and bring her back.""

Duan Ren said, ""This subject obeys your command.""

He stood up and looked at An Zeng, deliberately straightening his posture so that An Zeng could clearly see the official uniform on his body.

The official uniform of the third rank imperial bodyguard looked exceptionally bright and fresh.

At first, An Zhe didn't think this person was annoying, but at this moment, he felt a little disgusted.

Even if Duan Ren was able to escape from the Heavenly Temple, An Zhe did not think that Duan Ren was committing treason.

Everyone was afraid of death, and it was only natural for them to cower in the face of death.

Not to mention, Duan Ren had already done a good job that day.

There were few who could last longer than him in that situation.

""Now?""

An Zeng asked.

Mu Changyan nodded, ""Now.""

Duan Ren smirked and said, ""Deputy Commander An, let's go.""

He turned around and walked away.

Duan Ren followed behind him and spoke loudly as they walked, ""In the future, we will be officials of the same court. We will also need the a.s.sistance of Deputy Commander An.""

There are a lot of things you need to do. I hope you can cooperate. ""

Just as An Zhan was about to say something, Duan Ren lowered his voice and said, ""Don't turn around, keep moving forward … .If you keep fighting, there should be a problem with the King.""

I don't know if you can tell, but the king sitting in there... doesn't seem to be the original king.

I didn't know what to do, and I didn't know who to talk to.

""That's right, I'm jealous of you, and I even hate you. But right now, the only person I can trust is you …""

After saying this, he continued speaking loudly, ""What, it seems Deputy Commander An isn't happy?""

An Xuan said: ""Just give the command.""

Then he lowered his voice and replied, ""You … You are right, the King is no longer the King."""
