Repugnant Gateway Chapter 94

In fact, An Zhe felt more relaxed with his current situation. Everyone felt that he was just an inexperienced youngster.

Therefore, this kind of contempt would often allow An Zhe to take the initiative in many times.

In addition, with the heaven-defying power of the Heaven Defying Seal, he didn't have any worries when it came to cultivation.

The Heaven Defying Seal's effect was indeed heaven-defying, but in reality, this effect was an accumulation of numbers.

Although the time within the 'Heavenly Seal' was much slower than the time in the outside world, the origin energy within the 'Heavenly Seal' was thin. Therefore, the growth of one's cultivation was not as terrifying as one's ideal.

Perhaps there was no such thing as a heaven-defying existence in this world. After obtaining the time, it had also lost its rich vitality.

However, time could make up for it. After all, when he advanced to the purest realm, the time he spent cultivating in the Heaven Defying Seal was pitifully little.

Compared to cultivation, the Heaven Defying Seal's greatest effect towards An Zhan and his friends was actually to protect them.

After entering the Heaven Defying Seal, unless one was a great cultivator whose strength had reached a certain level, it would not be easy to find them.

Although Qu Liuxi was not as eccentric as Gu Qianye, she was not stupid at all.

After she brought Gu Qianye back to the sect, she immediately entered the Heaven Defying Seal.

It was already two days after An Zhe returned to the Heavenly Awakening Sect, and the result was already decided.

Chen was promoted to the rank of Soldier Department and began to investigate whether there were any spies from the enemy countries in the Soldier Department by means of the attack on the Soldier Department.

Of course, this was only a perfect excuse to get rid of the empress dowager's henchmen, but Old Sun's attack on An Zaiyue and Gu Qianye's one finger of bone killing him had been assaulted by Chen Zaiyan as an assassin from an enemy kingdom.

As a result, there was a large scale investigation of the non-Yan country's population in the entire capital city of Yan.

Wang Kai-tai was straightforward, but he did not say it quickly. The reason he told An Zaihai this was because he was certain that An Zaihai would be his comrade in the future, someone who could hand over his back to the other party on the battlefield.

Thus it was certain that Chen Zaiyan was not one of the empress dowager's men.

Since that was the case, An Zaiyan started to doubt his own feelings. Could it be that the death of Lord Shang Shu had nothing to do with Chen Zaiyan?

However, the words Old Sun had said before he died still lingered in An Zhe's mind.

""You don't understand, and you don't understand even if you said it.

""No one killed anyone. Only one deserves to die.""

What did Old Sun mean by this?

Along with An He, there was also half a small team's field officer Qianji.

Anjou did not know these cold men, but he was sure they were the best warriors.

Within the military, there were two famous teams. One of them was the commanding officer, who was the commander of the army. The commanding officer was the commander who took action when the soldiers were checking up on people.

The military garrison in the capital, as well as the entire army of Great Yan, had the authority to arrest the commanding officer. As long as he held the iron order issued by the Ministry of War, any officer under the fifth rank could take him away.

The other was the field officer, and other than the few important personages in the military, no one knew how many people and functions he had.

However, he knew that when Hao Ping had first created the Thousand Revolution Squad, these people had been carefully selected from the six hundred thousand soldiers in the Great Yan Army.

These officers were all like mutes, and most of the time, they did not say a word.

They had four standard weapons on them … the Mysterious Umbrella, the Marquis Crossbow, the Blood Drain Saber, and the short blade with a ringed head.

In addition to these four weapons, there were a few defensive and auxiliary items, a round shield on his left arm, and a ladder to the heavens that hung behind him.

The so-called Heaven Stairway was a flying claw.

Half of the small team had a total of six officers. For a person with such a status, dispatching six of them to protect was already an extraordinary treatment.

At this time of crisis, the newly appointed Military Affairs Officer Zhang Zian had only brought a small team of officers and two or three trusted aides.

After An He fought his way in, the six officers walked around the yard. After thoroughly inspecting the yard, the three went to the backyard, and the three stayed in front.

As soon as An Zeng entered the room, Xiao Qidao ran over quickly. ""Brother An Zeng, what happened?""

An Zhan rubbed Xiao Qi's head and said, ""It's fine, it's just that some accidents happened in the military. I'll tell you about it later.""

""I came back to take a bath and change my clothes, and also to enter Heavenly Temple.""

Old Huo handed An Zui a glass of water and asked, ""Why do you still want to enter the palace?""

An Xuan said, ""Yan Wang Mu and Mu Changyan wanted to see me. It just so happens that I have something to say about whether or not a girl can enter the Martial Arts Academy to study.""

Old Huo sighed: ""You came to the Martial Arts Academy for Little Liu'er, and this matter ended up in such a big mess.""

An Zhan shook his head. ""No one used me, but someone used the power I created.""

This meant that there were contradictions within the army. Someone wanted Hao to die peacefully.

This was the reason why this matter could not be controlled and started to ferment. By now, everyone in the city was already aware of this fact.

""The biggest accident was the death of Lord Shang Shu. No matter what, I don't believe that he committed suicide. He is a person with the ambition and heart to avenge his country. How could he simply commit suicide?""

Old Huo said, ""This has always been the case in government affairs.""

Those people have such a keen sense of smell that if they had the slightest chance, they would seize it and put their opponents to death.

""The military is in such a mess right now, I'm afraid the empress dowager won't let this chance go either.""

An Zaixin said, ""The empress dowager's moving too slowly, unless … they want to win over Chen Zaiyan.""

Ann asked for a dress and went out. ""Don't go anywhere these days. Just stay at home.""

""After nightfall, I will enter the Heaven Defying Seal. I will leave the bronze bell here.""

Old Huo was stunned. ""You left the bell here. What if you encounter danger?""

An Zhan pursed his lips and said: ""Half a team's field officer Qian Ji is following me, unless it's a lunatic who dares to attack me.""

""Let Little Liu'er and Thousandleaf rest in the Heaven Defying Seal for two days, and after I return, they can come out.""

When he reached the door, he looked back at the good man who was still fast asleep on the bed.

It had been almost four years, and the good lord had been unable to awaken from his slumber.

He was a little bigger than he had been, and his hair was whiter.

An Zhan remembered the magical beast he had killed earlier. He took out the magicite core and handed it to Old Huo. ""Keep it safe for now. Give it to the Kindness to eat when he wakes up.""

Old Huo turned around and looked at the cat. ""I don't know how long this little sleepyhead will be sleeping for.""

""The monster cores you've collected for it in the past few years and the food you eat three times a day should be enough to last you half a month.""

Beside the good sir, the ordinary-looking blue cloth was quietly placed there as well.

After that, he went to take a bath and change into a set of dry clothes. Under the protection of the six officers, he then left the Heavenly Awakening Sect and got into the carriage arranged by the Military Department and went straight to Heavenly Temple.

The Imperial Guards guarding the Heavenly Temple were usually above the masses. Those who could join the Imperial Army were not ordinary commoners.

But when they saw Lieutenant Qianji, the arrogant Imperial Guards subconsciously turned their heads, not daring to even look at him.

The Heavenly Temple was not particularly grand; there were no abnormally tall buildings.

On the other hand, the brocade palace that had been continuously expanding on one side of the Heavenly Temple for three years now looked even more like the center of power than Heavenly Temple.

With the government spending money so tight that the soldiers at the border could not even fill their stomachs, the brocade palace continued to expand, spending money like running water.

After passing through one alley after another, he let out a sigh of relief as if he had returned to the past.

In the Great Xi's palace.

An Zhan subconsciously took a deep breath, and let himself out of the irritable thoughts.

What they entered through was not the main entrance. If they entered through the main entrance, they would not be able to walk very far before they would arrive at a large flat public square.

The King of Swallow resided in the Heavenly Peace Palace at the back of the Heavenly Temple. There were countless harem ladies, but Mu Changyan had never stayed in any of them.

Of course, this didn't mean that Mu Changyan wasn't close to women.

On the contrary, Mu Changyan was a contradictory person. He could leave Fang Shoucheng in pursuit of Aunty Ye, but he did not lack women by his side.

It was the same with the harem's harem, who took turns at the East Warm Pavilion every night.

He didn't know whether Mu Changyan was comforting him or something else. Could he feel better doing this and reduce his guilt towards Aunty Ye?

At the end of the day, the Yan Country was still a tired and small country. The Heavenly Temple was far from the royal palace of the Da Xi Empire.

The imperial palace of the Da Xi Empire could be considered an independent city.

When he was a few hundred meters away from them, Captain Qian Ji could no longer continue walking forward.

All of them were wearing white brocade clothes. A young eunuch wearing a royal blue eunuch uniform was waiting at the corner.

""This is Young Master An?""

The young eunuch said with a smile, ""I am the official eunuch who served before the king, An Chengli. Five hundred years ago, I was perhaps the same family as Prince An.""

""However, our surname is rarely seen in the Great Yan.""

An Zhe was startled. A young eunuch who looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old was actually one of the most important figures by the side of the monarch of a nation. This meant that this person was very special.

""Thank you, father-in-law.""

An Zhe saluted with clasped hands.

An Chengli quickly waved his hand. ""Don't say that. The reason I'm waiting here is because of your heavy weight, Young Master An.""

If I were an ordinary person, would I have to wait here myself?

""So there's no need for Young Master An to be so courteous. If you keep moving around the palace in the future, just say whatever you need my help with.""

This person's words were interesting, direct, and unpleasant, but he didn't put on an act.

This was beyond anyone's wildest imaginations. Logically speaking, wasn't this sort of eunuch supposed to be the type who talked nonsense to others?

An Chengli led An Zhan forward, then turned around and said, ""The King has been waiting for you for a while. You can go in. I need to go to the several lords' residence to read out the orders.""

""The matter with the Infantry Division has truly broken the king's heart.""

An Xuan nodded, then lifted the curtain and walked in.

The room was empty, and there was no one in it except the King of Swallow, who wore a bright yellow robe.

""I never thought that we would meet again so suddenly.""

Mu Changyan smiled. ""You've grown a lot taller.""

An Zhan laughed as well. ""Your Majesty is thinner than he used to be.""

Mu Changyan said, ""Although living in a city in the Illusory Realm is annoying, there are still fewer things to do.""

""When you come back, you'll worry about everything. It's no wonder you're not skinny.""

He pointed to the stool opposite him. ""Sit down and talk. There was a four-year appointment. I thought it was just a joke.""

You know that your coming means that there are others who want to follow you.

Originally, I wanted you guys to stay outside.

""However, since you've come, I can take care of you all within my line of sight.""

This was not the attitude that a King Yan should have. Therefore, An Zaiyue was certain that this King Yan was in short supply of manpower.

His attitude was obviously trying to win her over.

Mu Changyan replied, ""However, this also shows that you are someone who keeps your promises. What I admire the most is someone who keeps his promises and is loyal and reliable. You have done a good job.""

He just arrived in the Great Yan and already rendered meritorious service for the Great Yan. ""

""It's just that it's been a coincidence that this happened,"" An Zaiyue replied. ""It's really upsetting for the King.""

Mu Changyan waved her hands, ""Nothing can be done. You did the right thing.""

It was indeed time for the Martial Arts Academy to move.

Hao Ping mentioned you to me when he was there, and Chen mentioned you shortly before he left.

Don't belittle yourself for being such a person who can make both the military documents of the former and the latter divisions praise you profusely.

""How is it … Have you ever thought about staying by my side to work?""

An Zaiyue lowered his head and said, ""I might as well stay outside while I stay by your side.""

An Zaixin couldn't help cursing... Mu Changyan, you really aren't a qualified powerhouse.

Are you reminding your opponent to watch me when you see me alone with not a single person by my side, and send away all the eunuchs with the brush?

He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to feel at ease in the future.
