The moment Ling Yun appeared, his domineering presence was palpable.
He had also come to help Jiang Chen, and what’s more, he was extremely respectful toward him.
This made Tang Na realize that Jiang Chen seemed to possess an extraordinary background.
‘It seems shutting down Chenxi Pavilion is impossible this time,’ she thought.
Tang Na knew when to advance and when to retreat.
She immediately said, “President Ling, since you’ve personally come forward, I will give you face.”
“However, Chenxi Pavilion has not been certified by our Artifact Refiner Guild. No matter what, it is in violation of our rules.”
“Therefore, it must first obtain our Artifact Refiner Guild’s certification. Otherwise, it will face an endless stream of trouble.”
“Farewell!”
With that, Tang Na left with the dejected-looking Luo Quan and Zuo Tu.
Chenxi Pavilion had clearly weathered the crisis.
The crisis at Chenxi Pavilion was resolved, for now.
Jiang Chen thanked Ling Yun and Feng Hu profusely.
Ling Yun asked, “Young Master, I have Artifact Refiners who could be stationed at Chenxi Pavilion. That way, the Artifact Refiner Guild won’t be able to nitpick and cause trouble for you.”
After all, the Artifact Refiner Guild was also a major power, and Ling Yun had no desire to start a war with them over something trivial.
Therefore, he decided the best course of action was to have a certified Artifact Refiner stationed at Chenxi Pavilion.
That would be the safest approach.
“For now, having Elder Tang from the City Lord’s Mansion help me is enough.”
“However, I’ll go to the Artifact Refiner Guild myself to get certified.”
Jiang Chen didn’t want to trouble others too much, so he decided to make a trip to the Artifact Refiner Guild after all.
He would get his status as an Artifact Refiner certified.
“That works too.”
After staying for a while longer, Ling Yun and Feng Hu took their leave one after another.
As they left, however, both invited Jiang Chen to visit the Alchemy Master Guild and the City Lord’s Mansion often.
Jiang Chen agreed to both invitations.
Elder Tang remained at Chenxi Pavilion.
Meanwhile, Jiang Chen planned to find some time to visit the Artifact Refiner Guild.
After arranging matters at Chenxi Pavilion, Jiang Chen decided he would go to the Artifact Refiner Guild the next day.
Fortunately, he now had another ally: the Xingyuan City branch of the Alchemy Master Guild.
「That afternoon, inside the City Lord’s Mansion.」
An urgent, secret letter from Lion Heart City, the capital of the Tang Kingdom, was swiftly delivered to the City Lord’s Mansion.
The City Lord, Feng Qi, who had been in seclusion, was forced to emerge immediately.
In the City Lord’s Hall, the father and son pair, Feng Qi and Feng Hu, sat facing each other.
Feng Hu asked, “Father, what on earth happened that required an urgent secret letter?”
“And why all the secrecy?”
Feng Qi’s brow was also furrowed slightly.
He remained silent for a moment before suddenly saying, “According to the letter, something major has happened.”
Feng Hu grew anxious and pressed, “Father, stop keeping me in suspense! What is it?”
Since the secret letter came from Lion Heart City, it had clearly originated from within the Tang Kingdom’s Royal Palace.
If it was a major event for the Tang Kingdom, it was definitely no small matter.
Only then did Feng Qi say, “Legend has it that an Angel has fallen from the mythical Upper Realm. It landed within the borders of our Tang Kingdom, somewhere in the vicinity of Xingyuan City.”
“The Divine Wind Empire has ordered our Five Great Dukedoms to immediately dispatch forces to find this fallen Angel.”
Feng Hu was stunned.
‘An Angel?’
He asked in confusion, “Father, what exactly is an Angel?”
Feng Qi clearly didn’t know the specifics either.
He shook his head. “I’m not sure myself. However, in a few days, Prince Tang Feng will be arriving in Xingyuan City.”
“We’ve been ordered to cooperate with the Prince in every way possible.”
Although they didn’t know what this so-called Angel was, they understood it must be of immense importance to have alarmed even the Divine Wind Empire and prompted a direct order.
At that moment, Feng Hu sucked in a sharp breath.
“For the Divine Wind Empire to issue a command… this Angel is definitely no simple matter.”
“Even the Prince is coming. It looks like the situation in Xingyuan City is about to get tense again.”
Feng Qi readily agreed with this sentiment.
He added, “It won’t just be people from our Tang Kingdom. Experts from the other four nations, and even people of noble and distinguished status, will be showing up in Xingyuan City.”
“Therefore, we must act with the utmost caution. We absolutely cannot afford to provoke any of these unfamiliar experts.”
It was obvious that Xingyuan City was about to descend into chaos.
Once the various factions established themselves, they were bound to come to blows.
All for the sake of this so-called Angel.
Feng Hu suddenly asked, “Father, should we tell Chenxi Pavilion about this?”
After some thought, Feng Qi shook his head.
“Chenxi Pavilion’s origins are mysterious, and this matter is of grave importance. It’s better not to tell them.”
“During this time, take the men from the City Lord’s Mansion and search everywhere. Since this so-called Angel fell in the Xingyuan City area, there are bound to be traces of it.”
“If we actually manage to find the Angel, we’ll have performed a great service.”
Feng Hu grew excited.
Without bothering to figure out what an Angel was, they urgently set their plans in motion.
Meanwhile, Jiang Chen was preparing for his trip to the Artifact Refiner Guild.
In the afternoon, Xiao Jun rushed in from outside.
He said to Jiang Chen, “Young Master, a letter has arrived from the Fire Sparrow Kingdom.”
Jiang Chen took the secret letter.
The letter was from Wen Shiren, the current Sovereign of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom.
The contents of the letter were simple.
The Divine Wind Empire had recently issued an order stating that an Angel had fallen in the Xingyuan City area, and it commanded the Five Great Dukedoms to use all their resources to find it.
This was a direct command from the Divine Wind Empire.
Both the Tang Kingdom and the Fire Sparrow Kingdom were dukedoms subordinate to the Divine Wind Empire.
They were under the rule of the Divine Wind Empire.
Therefore, the Five Great Dukedoms had no choice but to obey the Empire’s command.
After reading the letter, Jiang Chen fell silent.
‘An Angel?’
‘A real Angel?’
Jiang Chen actually knew about Angels.
He had even seen an Angel once before.
Angels were born with Light Divine Power, a power that could even resurrect the dead.
Furthermore, Light Divine Power had the inherent ability to purify evil forces.
Any evil person who encountered Light Divine Power would be automatically purified and turned to ash.
In his letter, Wen Shiren stated that although he had already dispatched people who would arrive in Xingyuan City in the coming days, he was actually asking Jiang Chen to keep an eye out for the Angel and to seize it immediately if he found it.
In truth, the Angel’s abilities were immensely powerful. While the Five Great Dukedoms appeared to be acting on behalf of the Divine Wind Empire, they all secretly wanted to claim the Angel for themselves.
Wen Shiren was no different.
‘Interesting. To think an Angel would actually appear in the Lower Realm.’
A glint flickered in Jiang Chen’s eyes.
This news was truly unexpected.
An Angel’s abilities were also extremely important to Jiang Chen; he needed one.
However, Angels were of mysterious origin and could even be shapeshifters. No one knew an Angel’s true form, so for now, everyone was just searching blindly.
“Young Master, what is it?”
Xiao Jun and Mr. Jiao both came over to ask.
Jiang Chen didn’t keep it a secret. After all, news like this would spread far and wide soon enough.
He gave the two of them some instructions.
“For the next few days, the two of you are to search the Xingyuan City area for that Angel.”
“If you find it, bring it back immediately.”
