After Chen Qingyu received the platinum-colored letter:
The strange luster flashed across the heavens and earth once more, and all things regained their color, becoming vibrant again from black and white.
The power belonging to Emperor Yuan came suddenly and disappeared just as suddenly.
Um?
The Ninth Ancestor paused for a moment, seemingly sensing something, and his expression changed:
What just happened?!
In his mind, it was as if several moments of his own time had been forcibly reduced.
The previous moment and the next moment seemed to be cut off, and there was no way to connect them.
call!
Chen Qingyu took a deep breath and said:
It was the Emperor Yuan Palace that sent me an invitation to attend the Dragon Gate Dharma Assembly.
As he spoke, he raised his arm and showed the platinum-colored letter in his hand to the Ninth Ancestor.
Emperor Yuan Palace?
The Ninth Ancestor's expression shifted slightly as he carefully examined the platinum-colored letter, nodding slightly as he said:
Yes, it is indeed an invitation from the Emperor Yuan Palace.
When I was young, I also received an invitation to the Dragon Gate Dharma Assembly, and it was exactly the same as this invitation.
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu looked at the Ninth Ancestor and asked:
So, how does one get to the Saint Yuan Minor Realm, as stated on the invitation?
The Ninth Ancestor answered:
This invitation also carries a trace of the Emperor Yuan's power, serving as both a decree and a certificate for entering the Saint Yuan Minor Realm.
As long as the holder of the card is within the territory of the Central Heaven Prefecture, they can open a small world gate by channeling True Essence or True Gang into the card.
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu nodded slightly and said:
Ancestor, I understand.
The Ninth Ancestor pondered for a moment, his gaze becoming quite profound:
This Dragon Gate Dharma Assembly is being held more urgently than I expected; it seems our time is running out.
Chen Qingyu paused for a moment:
Time is running out? What does that mean?
The Ninth Ancestor shook his head slightly, not answering directly, but instead changing the subject:
Qingyu, now that the Dragon Gate Dharma Assembly is about to begin, you no longer need to serve as an inspector.
After you've finished dealing with things here, return to Central Capital as soon as possible. I'll be waiting for you in the Floating Heavenly Palace.
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu nodded:
Okay, I understand.
The invitation from the Emperor Yuan Palace arrived far too hastily.
His conversation with the Ninth Ancestor was thus interrupted, and even the matter of the Saint King's unexplained disappearance had to be temporarily put on hold.
And he could also sense it:
The Ninth Ancestor was clearly hiding many secrets from him; this Dragon Gate Dharma Assembly was probably not as simple as he imagined.
boom!
With a flick of his sleeve, the Ninth Ancestor tore through space, stepped into the void, and vanished.
Chen Qingyu withdrew his gaze, put away the platinum-colored letter, and sighed as he looked at the devastated Seven Springs Mountain and the numerous unconscious figures.
Now I'm in for a busy time.
A moment later.
Chen Qingyu used his True Gang and the Primordial Golden Crow Flame to forge numerous bluestone bricks on the spot, restoring the damaged Saint King's tomb to its original state.
Regarding the disappearance of the remains of the Saint King Chenliu, he decided to keep it a secret for the time being. It was best that no one else besides himself and the Ninth Ancestor knew about it, so as not to cause any disturbance.
After he restored the Saint King's tomb, he summoned Chen Yuanhe, Chen Zhenghong, and others to the Seven Springs Mountain, and woke up his cousin Chen Qingjie and the others.
The father and son were overjoyed to be reunited. Chen Zhenghong hugged his son tightly, which left Chen Qingjie somewhat at a loss.
After Chen Qingjie's account:
Only then did everyone realize that when he was patrolling outside Central Capital, he suddenly went black and fainted. When he woke up again, he was on the Seven Springs Mountain.
He had no idea what had happened.
Qingyu.
After everyone calmed down, Chen Yuanhe recalled what had just happened and said with a serious expression:
What exactly happened just now?
Why did you suddenly unleash a sword strike at Seven Springs Mountain, and even summon the Ninth Ancestor?
Chen Qingyu shook his head and said:
This matter is of utmost importance; please allow me to keep it a secret for now, and Uncle, please don't ask any further questions.
All right.
Chen Yuanhe nodded, but did not insist.
Given Chen Qingyu's status, he must have some secrets that are not suitable to tell these relatives.
Oh, there's one more thing.
Chen Qingyu paused, looked at Chen Yuanhe and the others, and asked solemnly:
I have received an invitation from the Emperor Yuan Palace and will be attending the Dragon Gate Dharma Assembly soon.
Therefore, I can no longer serve as the inspector of Central Capital and must resign as soon as possible and return to Central Capital.
Huh? This
Chen Yuanhe and the others were taken aback by his words, caught off guard.
Their thoughts were similar to those of the rest of Central Capital:
Chen Shaojun is destined not to stay in Central Capital for long, but he'll probably be in office for at least two or three years before stepping down. At the very least, it'll be a year and a half.
But unexpectedly:
He had only been in Central Capital as the inspector for half a month when he was about to return to Divine Capital, as if his visit was just a sightseeing trip.
Oh well.
Chen Yuanhe had mixed feelings, but he didn't try to stop him. Instead, he gave him some advice:
Please give my regards to your father. If he has the time, I would still like him to come to Central Capital to see us in person.
That's not necessary.
After I return to the Divine Capital, I will personally propose to the Golden Hall that you, my uncles, be reinstated and allowed to be listed as members of the direct line again.
Get ready, and in a few days you can return to life in Divine Capital.
What?
Chen Yuanhe, Chen Zhenghong, and the others were immediately shaken to their core, their bodies stiffening.
Honestly:
After learning that Chen Shaojun was their relative, they had similar thoughts.
However, restoring their status as direct descendants is a matter of great importance and will certainly be very difficult. They have already troubled Chen Qingyu a lot, so they are too embarrassed to bring it up again.
What they didn't expect was...
Chen Qingyu suddenly decided to leave, but before leaving, he took the initiative to offer to petition the Golden Hall to restore their status as direct descendants.
this
Chen Yuanhe took a few deep breaths, his voice trembling slightly:
Is this really feasible? I mean, that happened so many years ago.
Chen Qingyu shook his head and said:
It is precisely because so many years have passed that those who deserve punishment have been punished enough.
Furthermore, since I'm the one who spoke, I'm sure the clan leader and the elders in the Golden Hall won't refuse to give me face.
Hearing his words:
Chen Yuanhe and the others felt as if they had been given a reassurance. They exchanged glances, their faces beaming with joy and excitement.
Restoring their status as direct descendants and returning to the Divine Capital were long-cherished wishes they had cherished for many years.
now
This wish is finally about to come true.
My great-uncle, several uncles, and my cousins.
Chen Qingyu bowed respectfully and said in a deep voice:
I have urgent business to attend to in the Divine Capital, and cannot delay any longer. Let us part ways now.
Please inform the City Lord's Mansion about Mr. Zhang's matter and the news of my resignation as Inspector, so that they can handle it on my behalf.
