Chapter 45: The Destined Son-in-Law (7)
Inside the Eastern Martial Secret Realm, a gilded token materialized in Su Chen's hand. This was none other than the legendary Command of the King. With this token, he could unconditionally command the Li Clan to fulfill three requests.
Outside the Eastern Martial Secret Realm, a towering path of light stretched straight toward Eastern Martial City. The entire city trembled. Every citizen bowed their heads in reverence. The one who had arrived was the current ruler of the Heavenly Origin Dynasty.
Heavenly Origin King, Li Xuanyuan.
"What matter could possibly summon His Majesty the King here?"
The crowd buzzed with astonishment. But soon the sharper minds among them reacted, their expressions turning to shock as they realized: "Could it be… the legendary Command of the King has reappeared?"
Only something of monumental importance could disturb King Xuanyuan. When the Eastern Martial Secret Realm opened once more, and the many young prodigies emerged, the suspicions of the crowd were finally confirmed.
Li Xuanyuan's figure appeared beside Su Chen. A rare smile softened the stern lines of his majestic face. "Young one, are you the one who obtained the Command of the King left behind by Grand Ancestor?"
Seeing Li Xuanyuan again—and being addressed as "young one"—left Su Chen feeling slightly out of place.
In his vague memories, little Xuanyuan had once trailed behind him, calling him "Great-Grandfather" with wide-eyed admiration. He had watched the boy grow step by step. Now he stood before him as a dignified king. Truly worthy of being his descendant.
