Eternal Saber-Chapter 353 - 74: Power of Flame

Guest Hall.

Shen Yu called the attendants to carry the unconscious Shen Yuanjie and the severely injured Eight Great Vajra away, sending them to the medical clinic for treatment. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Brother Chen, thank you so much for earlier."

Shen Yu turned around and looked at Chen Tang with gratitude.

"It’s nothing."

Chen Tang waved his hand.

"By the way."

Shen Yu remembered something and asked, "Sister Shangguan, why did you give me that look just now?"

Ye Yushi asked, "What’s your usual relationship like with this cousin?"

"It’s mediocre."

Shen Yu said, "He’s just a loafer, always stirring up trouble, and I don’t like him. Brother Chen, by teaching him a lesson today, you’ve helped him remember a bit."

Chen Tang said, "In the future, besides disliking him, you should also be wary of him."

"Huh?"

Shen Yu was stunned for a moment, not immediately understanding.

Ye Yushi said, "Remember to tell your father everything that happened today, including Shen Yuanjie questioning you."

After all, it was a matter concerning the Shen Family, and as outsiders, it wasn’t appropriate for Chen Tang and Ye Yushi to say too much.

Otherwise, it would seem as if they were sowing discord among the family.

Moreover, it was just their suspicion, and they had no evidence.

Shen Yu nodded, seemingly understanding.

In the following three days, Chen Tang and Ye Yushi stayed at the Military Commander’s Mansion without incident.

However, throughout the mansion and the city, rumors of Shen Yuanjie being scared to wet his pants spread everywhere.

Almost everyone knew that the Military Lord had invited someone to prepare for the genius battle in the Old Capital.

At first, the rumors were plausible.

But later, they became more exaggerated.

Some said that not only did Shen Yuanjie wet his pants in fear, but he also soiled them completely, creating a terrible stench.

Others claimed that the person named Murong Haitang was originally a woman, but due to a mishap during training, turned into an ugly-faced brute, thus scaring Shen Yuanjie unconscious.

Still others said Murong Haitang had a green face and fangs, like a fierce ghost.

During these three days, Shen Yu brought Chen Tang and Ye Yushi multiple times to visit Ming Yue Wanderer.

They were told that Ming Yue Wanderer was traveling and not at home.

According to Shen Yu, Ming Yue Wanderer would leave here every so often, without a known destination.

Three days later.

The group from Chuansi Country left the city, a procession of about a thousand marching grandly toward the Old Capital.

This time, Shen Jin and his son were part of the group too.

However, the father and son did not speak to Chen Tang or Ye Yushi, and Shen Yuanjie deliberately avoided Chen Tang.

Shen Yu was quite excited, talking non-stop along the way, introducing the scenery, geography, and culture of the route and the customs of the Old Capital to Chen Tang and Ye Yushi.

The reason this place is called the Celestial Cauldron Continent is that the entire island resembles an overturned wine pot.

On the Celestial Cauldron Continent, there’s a great river named the Celestial Pot River, running north to south, like wine pouring from a pot.

The country founded by the Shen Family is called Chuansi, precisely because it’s located on the west side of the Celestial Pot River.

As the Celestial Pot River flows to the center of the Celestial Cauldron Continent, it splits in two, bypassing an ancient city.

This ancient city is the Old Capital of the Celestial Cauldron Continent!

Therefore, to the people of the Celestial Cauldron, the Old Capital is significant; it’s not only the geographical center but also the transportation hub, the cultural, trade, and political center of the Four Nations.

After traveling for nearly ten days, the group from the Shen Family finally reached the boundaries of the Old Capital.

Before even entering the real ancient city district of the Old Capital, Chen Tang felt the bustling atmosphere, the crowded, bustling scene.

In Qianzhu City of Hermit Continent, there were also many people, but the entire city felt lifeless and dull.

The Old Capital, however, was entirely different.

Especially in this season, the Old Capital was bustling to its peak, gathering the young samurai from the Four Nations, a group of people from all walks of life showing exceptional talent.

Entering the ancient city district felt like a wave of heat rushing toward them.

The streets were broad and straight, with vast crowds visible at first glance.

The road surface was paved with giant green stones, each about a yard in length and width, bustling with traffic and pedestrians, along with an endless stream of merchant caravans carrying rare and exotic goods from various places, gathering here for exchange.

Both sides of the North-South Street were lined with shops, offering a dazzling array of goods, from exquisite silk and brocade to sharp swords and bows, all showcasing the prosperity of this city.

In some streets and alleys, there were also various vendors and people from all walks of life mingling together.

Because the Old Capital is not under the jurisdiction of the Four Nations, it is incredibly open here, with bold customs, and its own set of rules.

In the Old Capital, resolving disputes is simple: by duel!

Primitive, brutal, straightforward!

Nobody listens to your reasoning or judges right from wrong for you.

The strong are respected.

Of course, the premise is that both parties are in the same realm.

If they are in different realms, they can hire someone else to fight on their behalf.

There are two types of duels: a regular duel, where life and death need not be decided.

The other is a death duel.

Only when one side dies does the conflict truly end.

Generally, when one side initiates a duel challenge, the other has the right to refuse.

But doing so would lead to ridicule from the entire Old Capital, bringing disgrace.

The people of the Old Capital highly value martial arts, showing utmost respect only towards the Three Great Divine Artifacts, while exalting martial arts above all else!

Chuansi Country has its Palace Mansion in the Old Capital, located towards the west of the city, with an extensive area, easily accommodating over a thousand people.

After the group from the Shen Family settled in Chuansi Palace, Shen Yu eagerly pulled Chen Tang and Ye Yushi, wanting to show them the Three Great Divine Artifacts, for an experience.

And to register for the competition along the way.

"Let’s go north first."
