Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 191, Eldest Prince

"Sir, do you know Inspector Bai?"

At this moment, the waiter walked slowly to Chu Ming’s side, saw Chu Ming staring at Bai Hanyan, and asked curiously.

"No, I don’t!"

Chu Ming said plainly, taking up the wine glass he had put down again, without any ripples in his eyes. The waiter was about to leave but was stopped by Chu Ming.

"Why do you call her Inspector Bai?"

"Sir, you might not know this, but it’s said that this person is actually an Inner Sect Disciple from the Celestial Travel Sect, especially assigned to investigate certain matters. Throughout Yellow Moon Kingdom, although it’s nominally under the royal family, the Inspectors have even more representative power, even the elders of various sects fear and respect Inspector Bai greatly!"

The waiter didn’t know much, but he shared all he knew. After listening, Chu Ming nodded slightly, although he had already guessed about Bai Hanyan’s master from the Realm of Transcendence, knowing now that Bai Hanyan was indeed a disciple of the Celestial Travel Sect felt completely different.

In fact, there are not many individuals in the Celestial Realm who have reached the Realm of Transcendence, and none are unknown. The Celestial Travel Sect stands at the top in the Celestial Realm, and most martial artists in the Realm of Transcendence are within the Celestial Travel Sect. Bai Hanyan’s master being an elder of Celestial Travel Sect is reasonably acceptable.

Bai Hanyan represents the Celestial Travel Sect, and behind her stands an unparalleled expert in the Realm of Transcendence. Neither the royal family of Yellow Moon Kingdom nor any sects within Yellow Moon Kingdom can afford to offend her, or catastrophe would befall them.

As if sensing Chu Ming’s gaze, Bai Hanyan turned and scanned the second floor of the inn.

"Hmm?"

Bai Hanyan let out a soft exclamation, noticing Chu Ming’s presence, a hint of surprise flickering in her eyes. Truthfully, since joining the Celestial Travel Sect, she had completely forgotten about matters in the Great Yan Kingdom. Comparing the Great Yan Kingdom to the Celestial Realm, it’s merely a tiny speck, and the Celestial Travel Sect is a titan in the Celestial Realm, holding vast resources. Combined with her innate talent, her strength had quickly reached the True Dao Third Layer, placing her within the top five hundred in the Inner Sect of Celestial Travel Sect.

"How is this possible?!"

But she was soon shocked again, as she realized that Chu Ming has now become a martial artist in the True Dao Realm. She had seen many martial artists of the True Dao Realm, and Celestial Travel Sect had plenty of them, but regarding Chu Ming, her impression was still based on a year ago.

"Inspector Bai, what’s wrong?"

Just as Bai Hanyan was lost in thought, a well-dressed youth came forward and asked attentively. The youth had rosy lips and white teeth, appearing handsome, adorned with yellow silk accessories highlighting his wealth; his gaze at Bai Hanyan flickered with lewdness.

"It’s nothing. Just saw an acquaintance!"

Bai Hanyan responded coldly, returning to her aloof demeanor. Despite being shocked that Chu Ming is now a martial artist in the True Dao Realm, she didn’t think Chu Ming had any further potential for advancement, only assuming that Chu Ming had encountered some kind of fortunate event.

The youth wasn’t foolish. He didn’t believe Bai Hanyan’s words, thinking it was just that simple. His gaze followed Bai Hanyan’s previous line of sight, instantly spotting Chu Ming’s figure, his eyes gleamed with coldness.

Bai Hanyan continued forward, her steps unwavering, but the youth deliberately slowed his pace, in no time, opening a gap of more than ten meters between them, ensuring Bai Hanyan wouldn’t hear his conversation. The youth slightly waved his hand, and immediately a black-robed martial artist emerged from the crowd.

"Eldest Prince, what are your orders?"

The black-robed martial artist appeared expressionless, his arms robust like aged tree trunks, resembling a man in his forties possessing cultivation at the True Dao Sixth Layer, absolutely strong power within Yellow Moon Kingdom. For this reason, he had been assigned as the Eldest Prince’s personal bodyguard.

It’s known that the Eldest Prince, despite his luxury and depravity, doesn’t engage in political affairs, but is destined to ascend the throne as king, thus the royal family pays great attention.

"Keep an eye on that white-robed youth on the second floor of the inn!"

The Eldest Prince said gloomily, feeling somewhat frustrated.

Initially, when Bai Hanyan arrived in Yellow Moon Kingdom, merely glancing at her once, he was astounded by her beauty and began his frantic pursuit, though the two were vastly different in all aspects, the royal family watched this phenomenon with one eye open and the other closed, even quietly supporting it.

After all, Bai Hanyan has too great of a background. If the Eldest Prince fails, so be it, but if he succeeds, he would undoubtedly gain the secret support of a supreme expert in the Realm of Transcendence, within ten years, not necessarily become a high-grade nation, but certainly developing into an intermediate nation.

"Understood!"

The black-robed martial artist, though reluctant, knew he could not disobey the Eldest Prince’s orders, nodded in agreement and quickly vanished into the crowd, heading towards the inn.

...

Inside the inn room, Chu Ming held two middle-grade Spirit Stones, frantically absorbing the spiritual power within them. However, Chu Ming’s dantian was too vast, the spiritual power entering his body was like water seeping into the ocean, creating no ripples at all.

Crack!

Crack!

Both middle-grade Spirit Stones shattered completely, their spiritual power wholly absorbed by Chu Ming without any residue.

Chu Ming opened his eyes and sighed slightly, now two middle-grade Spirit Stones could only sustain him for half a day.

Tossing the spiritual power fragments aside, Chu Ming took out two more middle-grade Spirit Stones from his storage ring to continue cultivation, luckily he had plenty of middle-grade Spirit Stones in his storage ring, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to sustain his consumption rate.

The "Fire Burning True Skill" had reached the Seventh Layer, now the spiritual power in Chu Ming’s dantian was extremely pure, equivalent to normal True Dao Seventh Layer.

For two consecutive days, Chu Ming continued to cultivate in the inn, in his spare time, he would drink and eat on the inn’s second floor. Initially, everything seemed normal but gradually, he sensed something was off, vaguely noticing eyes monitoring his every move from the shadows.

On this day, Chu Ming left the inn, wandering aimlessly in the streets, seemingly unintentionally, he turned into a complex alleyway.

Just as he entered the alley, a black-robed martial artist appeared in the crowd behind him, following closely with an expressionless gaze.

But, shortly after entering the alleyway, the black-robed martial artist’s face changed, realizing he was in a dead-end, there was no sign of Chu Ming’s presence; he understood he had been tricked.

"Speak, who sent you?" freewebnøvel.com

At that moment, behind him, a calm voice sounded, containing boundless coldness amidst the plainness.
