62: Departure from Jianyuan Pavilion

Heavenly Origin Palace, Palace Master Hall.

“I hereby announce that from today onwards, Yang Lingchen will serve as the Vice Palace Master of Heavenly Origin Palace. Seeing him is the same as seeing me. He will be in charge of arranging the upcoming battle plans,” Dongfang Yunbing’s voice was crisp and majestic.

At this moment, Yang Lingchen walked directly to Dongfang Yunbing's side with steady steps.

“Greetings, Vice Palace Master.” Everyone bowed one after another, offering a respectful salute.

The people of Heavenly Origin Palace fully acknowledged Yang Lingchen's strength; moreover, since he was the Palace Master's intimate partner, no one dared to stand up and voice opposition.

Yang Lingchen's voice was steady and powerful as he said, “Elder Sun, Elder Ling, each of you lead a team to assist Feng Zijun and Luo Qimeng. You must firmly take control of the Diyin Sect and Rakshasa Palace, and transform them into branch palaces of our Heavenly Origin Palace.”

“Yes, Palace Master,” Sun Tiancheng and the Law Enforcement Elder responded with respectful bows.

Subsequently, Yang Lingchen made a series of arrangements regarding the defense of Heavenly Origin Palace and dispatched hidden guards to strictly monitor the entire Southern Province. This way, if any outside forces quietly infiltrated, he would be able to find out immediately.

Next came the interrogation phase.

In the dungeon of Heavenly Origin Palace, Huang Dingtian, whose four limbs were broken, was imprisoned along with Duanmu Ce, whose Dantian had been crippled, and a masked man whose legs had been severed.

Yang Lingchen was quite skilled in interrogation, and before long, Duanmu Ce honestly confessed everything.

It turned out that before the Four Great Sects prepared to attack Heavenly Origin Palace, people from the Crown Prince's Residence had approached them and sent two masked men to assist. The task assigned to the Four Great Sects was to deliver Dongfang Yunbing to the Crown Prince's Residence unharmed.

“Daring to target my woman, I will definitely see the Northern Profound Empire completely destroyed.” At this moment, Yang Lingchen's eyes were filled with a sharp, fierce light.

Looking at the enraged Yang Lingchen, Dongfang Yunbing did not speak, but warmth flowed through her heart.

Afterward, Yang Lingchen did not hesitate to send Huang Dingtian and the other two straight to Hell... Northern Profound Empire, Crown Prince's Residence.

“Your Highness, this is bad. The soul tablets of Tiansha and Disha have been extinguished, and news from the Southern Province says that Heavenly Origin Palace has already wiped out the Diyin Sect and Rakshasa Palace,” a middle-aged man said with an anxious expression.

“Were there other forces assisting Heavenly Origin Palace?” Zhou Yuxiang's voice was as calm as water.

“Reporting to Your Highness, no other forces were involved,” the middle-aged man hurriedly replied.

“Logically speaking, with Dongfang Yunbing's strength, it's impossible for her to be a match for the Four Great Sects, especially with Tiansha and Disha assisting from the side.” Zhou Yuxiang frowned, perplexed.

“Your Highness, your Subordinate has received a piece of news, but I don't know if I should say it,” the middle-aged man said hesitantly.

“Speak freely,” Zhou Yuxiang said.

“According to reports from spies, Yang Lingchen is not only Dongfang Yunbing's Disciple but also her man. He has now become the Vice Palace Master of Heavenly Origin Palace,” the middle-aged man said cautiously.

“Clatter...”

“What did you say? Say it again.”

The teacup in Zhou Yuxiang's hand instantly shattered into pieces as he stared at the middle-aged man with incredibly sharp eyes.

“Your Highness, please calm your anger. This matter has already spread throughout the Southern Province. It was announced publicly by Dongfang Yunbing, so it should not be false,” the middle-aged man said with a trembling voice.

“That bitch, in what way is this Crown Prince inferior to that kid? Since you are so ungrateful, then don't blame this Crown Prince for being ruthless,” Zhou Yuxiang said with a gloomy expression.

“Your Highness, how should we proceed next?” the middle-aged man asked.

“We don't need to do it ourselves. Now that Heavenly Origin Palace has wiped out two major Sects and even killed the Sect Master of Demon Cloud Sect and the Tiantian Sect Leader, other forces will certainly be in a state of panic. We only need to instigate trouble from within and turn other forces against Heavenly Origin Palace,” Zhou Yuxiang laughed sinisterly... Time flew by like a white horse passing a crevice, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

Under Yang Lingchen's meticulous coordination, the entire Southern Province, except for Sword Origin Pavilion, was completely under his control.

At the same time, Yang Lingchen also dispatched many experts to Hanyang City to guard his Family.

Green Cloud Pavilion.

After a bout of intense battle.

Dongfang Yunbing lay weakly and softly in Yang Lingchen's arms, her voice as tender as water: “Chener, what are your plans next?”

“I plan to go to Sword Origin Pavilion to propose marriage and strive for their support. Then, I'll launch an attack against the Demon Cloud Sect in the east and the Tiantian Sect in the north,” Yang Lingchen said in a low, firm voice.

“Are you aware of the consequences of doing this?” Dongfang Yunbing asked softly.

“The consequence is that I will unify the Northern Profound Region.” A hint of an Aura that looked down upon the world emerged in Yang Lingchen's eyes.

“As expected of my man. I am fond of a man as full of ambition as you,” Dongfang Yunbing laughed with eyes like silk.

“Slap...”

Yang Lingchen gave Dongfang Yunbing's buttocks a gentle slap and said with a smile, “Then if I had no ambition, would you stop liking me?”

“If you had no ambition, I would find ways to create trouble for you to push you to become ambitious. If a man has no ambition, he is destined to achieve nothing,” Dongfang Yunbing said slowly, her red lips parting slightly.

“Actually, my ambition was also sparked because of you,” Yang Lingchen said slowly.

“Because of me?” Dongfang Yunbing's beautiful eyes blinked, full of confusion.

“Naturally. It’s mainly that hateful bullshit Crown Prince who actually dared to target you. Behind him is the Northern Profound Empire. To put him to death, I can only make myself more ambitious,” Yang Lingchen said with determined eyes.

“Do you really care about me that much?” Dongfang Yunbing asked with a flirtatious smile.

“Of course. You are my woman. If anyone dares to target you, I will definitely eliminate them completely,” Yang Lingchen said categorically.

“When do you plan to go to Sword Origin Pavilion?” Dongfang Yunbing asked.

“I will depart tomorrow morning,” Yang Lingchen said after a brief thought.

“Do you want me to accompany you?” Dongfang Yunbing said.

“No need. You just stay in the palace to oversee the overall situation. I will return as soon as possible,” Yang Lingchen said.

“As you say, but you must be careful and cautious,” Dongfang Yunbing carefully exhorted.

Heavenly Origin Palace indeed needed Dongfang Yunbing to preside over it to prevent other forces from taking the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

Furthermore, after suffering such a huge loss, the Crown Prince's Residence would certainly not let the matter rest.

Early the next morning.

Yang Lingchen rode a Scarlet Fire Bird specially trained by Heavenly Origin Palace and left the palace alone.

The flying speed of the Scarlet Fire Bird was extremely fast. Although the Entering Profound Realm already allowed for short-distance flight, using it for long-distance travel would still consume a large amount of Profound Energy.

At this time, Yang Lingchen directly tied the Vast Heaven Jade to the back of the Scarlet Fire Bird, then slipped into the haotian jade space and began to Cultivate diligently.

The Scarlet Fire Bird was a flying Yao Beast with relatively high intelligence. As long as it was told the destination, it would fly in that direction and stop on its own once it arrived.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

The Scarlet Fire Bird stopped outside Jianyuan City. Yang Lingchen walked out of the haotian jade space and then stored the Scarlet Fire Bird inside it.

The location of Sword Origin Pavilion was within Jianyuan City, and the people inside Jianyuan City were basically all Disciples of Sword Origin Pavilion.

Jianyuan City could be called the largest city in the Southern Province, and its prosperity far exceeded that of Tianyuan City at the foot of the Heavenly Origin Palace mountain.

After Yang Lingchen entered Jianyuan City, he walked steadily toward the location of Sword Origin Pavilion according to the map.

Not long after, Yang Lingchen arrived at the gate of Sword Origin Pavilion.

This place was a magnificent and vast complex of buildings.

After Yang Lingchen submitted his visiting post, it didn't take long for Nangong Yan to rush out with great excitement.

“Yang Lingchen, you've finally come. I thought you had forgotten me again,” Nangong Yan said with an excited expression, tightly hugging Yang Lingchen's arm.

“How could I forget you? Haven't I come to propose marriage?” A hint of apology appeared on Yang Lingchen's face.

“At least you still have a conscience. Come, I'll take you inside.”

Ever since establishing a relationship with Yang Lingchen, Nangong Yan had often felt insecure, deeply afraid that Yang Lingchen would no longer want her.
