A Transcending Tribulation Realm expert was instantly killed by Ye Chen's attendant, Elder Jian Ling.
Elder Jian Ling was an elder of the Immortal Sword Sect. His status and strength were only a hair's breadth away from Grandmaster Jian Xu's. Hence, his strength was not to be underestimated.
And in Ye Chen's group, there was also the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect's Grandmaster Jing Kong. His strength was also extremely powerful.
Therefore, Ye Chen did not need to make a move to deal with these people.
After a Transcending Tribulation Realm expert was killed by Elder Jian Ling.
At this time, Murong Qingxue also cooperated with the other servants of the Mahayana Realm to kill the soldiers who were ambushing them.
Suddenly, the gate of the Heavenly Cloud City was covered in a bright red.
Blood spilled and flowed like a river.
Corpses lay on the ground one by one. The Deva Realm masters, the Mahayana Realm masters, and many ordinary soldiers were all turned into corpses and lay on the ground.
At this moment, Elder Jian Ling landed in front of Ye Chen and bowed to him.
Ye Chen was now the Useless Prince Ye Chen and not Ye Qingfeng. Therefore, he did not put on airs toward the elder of the Sword Mountain. He immediately bowed and said, "Thank you for your help, Elder Jian Ling."
Elder Jian Ling smiled and said, "The chief asked me to protect you to the Imperial City. Even if I have to risk my life, I will protect you to the Imperial City. So, Your Highness, you don't have to be so polite."
It had to be said that this Elder Jian Ling was very good.
He knew that Ye Chen was a Useless Prince who could not cultivate, but he was still so sincere toward Ye Chen.
However, one had to admit that the sky demon technique was indeed too powerful.
Ye Chen had only learned the transformation technique and the concealment technique. After he changed his aura, almost no one could recognize him.
Now, Ye Chen had learned the sky demon technique.
The current Ye Chen, with his transformation technique, probably no one in the world would be able to recognize Ye Chen's true appearance.
A while ago, Ye Chen was still the Alliance Master of the Righteous Path Alliance, Ye Qingfeng.
This Elder Jian Ling even saw Ye Chen every day.
But now, after Ye Qingfeng transformed into Ye Chen, even the Elder Jian Ling would not be able to distinguish him.
The only people who could distinguish Ye Chen were probably Ye Chen's two senior sisters.
However, it was only because they knew Ye Chen's three identities that they were able to recognize Ye Chen.
However, when Ye Chen became a stranger, no one would be able to recognize him.
His transformation technique did not only change his appearance, but even his inner aura had changed. That was why they were unable to recognize Ye Chen.
Ye Chen faced Elder Jian Ling and quickly said, "No matter what, Elder Jian Ling protected me. I have to thank him."
Elder Jian Ling nodded and secretly praised Ye Chen.
Although this kid could not cultivate, at least in terms of etiquette, he was pretty good.
Elder Jian Ling still liked this kid, Ye Chen.
At this time, Yang Xiao and the others also came in front of Ye Chen.
Yang Xiao immediately bowed and said, "Your Highness, we can confirm that it was done by the City Lord of Heavenly Cloud City. Only the City Lord of Heavenly Cloud City can mobilize so many experts and make such a good arrangement."
Hearing Yang Xiao's analysis, Ye Chen nodded.
Then, he said, "The City Lord of Heavenly Cloud City? Let's go and meet him!"
Hearing Ye Chen's words, everyone was somewhat surprised.
Although Ye Chen had two Transcending Tribulation Realm experts protecting him, if they went to the City Lord's residence of Heavenly Cloud City to interrogate him, they would be too arrogant.
If they were Ye Chen, they would not have made such a choice. They would definitely choose to return to the Eastern Imperial Kingdom first and remember the people who assassinated them. After he became the emperor, they would deal with these people.
However, Ye Chen was a prince, and they were escorting him.
Ye Chen's orders were absolute.
"Yes!" Yang Xiao nodded.
They organized their troops, and Yang Xiao shouted, "Set off, head to the City Lord's manor!"
…
At the City Lord's manor of Heavenly Cloud City.
A middle-aged man stood calmly within the City Lord's manor.
At this moment, a spy immediately came in and knelt in front of the middle-aged man.
This man was obviously the City Lord of Heavenly Cloud City.
The spy knelt on the ground and said, "Greetings, City Lord!"
"How's the situation at the city gate? Did they kill the prince?" The City Lord hurriedly asked.
At this moment, the spy immediately said, "No, City Lord. The assassins that you sent out were all annihilated!"
At this moment, the City Lord's expression did not reveal any surprise. It was as if everything was within his control.
"Then, have you found out? How many Transcending Tribulation Realm experts are by the Prince's side?" The City Lord asked calmly.
"Reporting to City Lord, only one Transcending Tribulation Realm expert was forced out," the spy said.
Hearing this…
At this moment, the City Lord's expression changed slightly.
"Only one Transcending Tribulation Realm expert was forced out?"
This was clearly somewhat out of the City Lord's expectations.
"It seems that Ye Chen's guards aren't that simple."
"However, for the future of our Eastern Imperial Kingdom, and for the sake of Prince Ji Xuan ascending to the throne, Ye Chen must die!" The City Lord said coldly.
