Chapter 251: Welcoming President Jiang

Jiang Changkong released his grip: “Speak.”

“The Immortal Palace came here because they discovered something in the starry sky—a palace.

Legend has it that beyond Top-Rank Martial Artists lies the Immortal Deity Realm. This Immortal Palace is a palace left behind by a powerhouse of the Immortal Deity Realm,” the middle-aged man hurriedly explained.

“Celestial Gods?”

The expressions of many Martial Artists changed, and Heng Moxuan and the others flew over directly.

Currently, Earth’s ceiling was only at the Top-Rank Martial Artist level, with no Celestial Gods having emerged yet!

When it came to powerhouses of the Celestial God level, no one could remain unmoved.

Jiang Changkong remained calm: “Continue.”

The middle-aged man dared not hide anything and spoke truthfully: “Back then, the Immortal Palace was pursuing an Ancient Ruins and discovered a Spatial Passage…”

The Martial Artists of the Immortal Palace arrived in the Sin Domain through the Spatial Passage. However, as soon as they appeared in the Sin Domain, the Immortal Palace Martial Artists fled.

Stellar Body Martial Artists could not stay in the Sin Domain, as the upper limit here was the Stellar Body level. Entering would be detected by Federation instruments.

Afterward, the Immortal Palace sent Star Embryo Martial Artists instead—that was them.

They brought a large number of weapons and equipment to win over the people of the Sin Domain.

Of course, they were not so kind-hearted as to genuinely care for the people of the Sin Domain.

The Immortal Palace regarded everyone here as cannon fodder.

Once the location of the Blood Qi Palace was confirmed, these people would be used as scouts, and all their instruments would be replaced with the Immortal Palace’s.

By relying on the instruments and sending these people inside, they could learn about the situation within.

With one of them at the late Star Embryo stage and the other at the peak Star Embryo stage, even if these people encountered accidents and advanced to the Star Embryo level, they could still suppress and kill them.

However, like Jiang Changkong, they had not anticipated that the palace would also move.

Thus, they buried instruments underground to search for the palace and explore its movement patterns.

They wanted to handle this matter quietly underground.

Just like my own idea.

Jiang Changkong silently thought to himself—everyone wanted to keep the spoils for themselves.

But this was something one person couldn’t swallow alone; it would be overwhelming!

“So that’s how it is. Then why did you save people and bring them out?” Jiang Changkong asked.

“To give them hope. Besides, many among these people were once prodigies. With a little nurturing, almost all of them could step into the High-Rank Martial Artist level,” the middle-aged man explained. “Once properly nurtured, the Immortal Palace could gain several more High-Rank Martial Artists.”

“What else do you know about the Immortal Palace?” Jiang Changkong asked indifferently.

“The Immortal Palace…” The middle-aged man opened his mouth but fell into silence.

Jiang Changkong frowned, about to activate the Divine Control Art again.

The middle-aged man’s scalp tingled, and he hurriedly spoke: “I am only part of one small team in the Immortal Palace. The Immortal Palace has many exploration teams.

They pursue various objects that have fallen from the starry sky. As for the rest, I truly don’t know.”

“You don’t know?” Jiang Changkong’s expression turned cold.

“I really don’t know. We belong to the Exploration Palace. We only handle the investigation of these things. Everything else is not our responsibility, and we are not allowed to inquire about it,” the middle-aged man said in terror.

“Exploration Palace? Are there other palaces?” Jiang Changkong asked.

“I don’t know. Those in the Exploration Palace, from the moment they enter the Immortal Palace, only know about the Exploration Palace. We are not allowed to meddle in anything else.”

“Then you truly are of no use at all.”

Jiang Changkong sighed softly. Divine Control Art!

“No, no, don’t—”

A piercing scream echoed as the middle-aged man’s eyes widened, his face contorted in agony, and he collapsed limply.

A translucent figure of the middle-aged man flew out of his body, rapidly shrinking before landing in Jiang Changkong’s hand.

“Soul Seizure!”

Heng Moxuan and the others retreated in terror. They were no weaklings, so naturally they could see that this illusory middle-aged man was a Soul Body.

He had been forcibly dragged out by this guy!

“Even for a High-Rank Martial Artist, the soul is quite fragile.”

Jiang Changkong looked at the soul in his palm and sighed softly.

The soul was dissipating and could last at most another hour, unable to withstand any disturbance.

The Divine Control Art could forcibly prevent the soul from dispersing, but doing so would require him to expend a great deal of power to sustain its existence.

“Well then, farewell.”

A golden blazing sun rose, the Holy Sun appeared, and the Soul Body let out a piercing scream before vanishing in an instant.

“It disappeared a bit too quickly. The Holy Sun Technique seems to somewhat suppress souls,” Jiang Changkong pondered.

“Soul bodies belong to the yin aspect, so Solar Star Force naturally suppresses them,” Fourth Uncle Nan explained.

“Extreme yin and yang, yet I don’t see you suppressing each other,” Jiang Changkong glanced at him and Heng Moxuan.

“When two forces are roughly equal, neither suppresses the other,” Heng Moxuan said coldly. “I’ve seen some soul techniques before, but none were particularly strong. Yet you can forcibly seize souls alive. Such a method—this is the first time I’ve seen it. Could it be that you have a major power backing you?”

“I have learned much. How much of it could you possibly comprehend?”

Jiang Changkong spoke indifferently, “Let’s go save people. Wang Ruiqing must be getting impatient.”

“How did you find the person buried in the ground just now?”

Heng Moxuan, Fourth Uncle Nan, and Professor Yu all followed him.

Jiang Changkong remained silent. Knowing the exact location, he simply swept the Divine Control Art over it.

Wherever the Divine Control Art passed, everything was seen with his own eyes. Finding them naturally wasn’t difficult.

Jiang Changkong collected their Spatial Equipment, which indeed contained Star Stones.

The soil automatically parted, revealing a passageway.

A vast underground space, intricate instruments, and a dense, endless crowd of sinners from the Sin Domain.

“They’ve broken in!”

The Martial Artists of the Sin Domain cried out in panic.

We’ve already hidden here—why, why won’t they let us go?

The Sin Domain has already been leveled. For a few Star Stones, is it really worth it?

The criminals felt like crying—this was just too bullying.

Jiang Changkong stepped into the underground space. It was spacious, divided into several layers to accommodate the Martial Artists of the Sin Domain.

“Welcome, President Jiang.”

Five overlords immediately rushed over, respectfully offering their Spatial Equipment. “Here are some Star Stones and Sin Tokens. Please accept them.”

“Welcome, President Jiang, for eradicating the Immortal Palace demons from the Sin Domain and restoring peace to the Sin Domain.”

One Martial Artist shouted loudly, bowing his head in reverence.

“Welcome, President Jiang. Thank you, President Jiang, for taking action to eradicate the Immortal Palace demons and restore peace to the Sin Domain.”

“Wel…”

The other criminals quickly caught on, hurriedly handing over their Sin Tokens and the few remaining Star Stones.

Heng Moxuan and the others turned green at the words “restore peace to the Sin Domain.”

Well, it was indeed peaceful now—flattened into peace!

Immortal Palace demons? Why didn’t they dare call them demons before they died?

Jiang Changkong smiled as he looked at these people. They were truly talented, with quite the skill for adapting to the situation.

However, he had already taken what he needed. These sinners should be left alive, as a legacy for future generations.

If he killed them all, even the Federation would be furious with him. After finally finding such fat pigs, killing them all would leave nothing for the future.

Jiang Changkong said calmly, “Take them all out. Leave Professor Wang Ruiqing behind. Also, bring Xu Hengzhi and the others here.”

“You’re ordering me?” Heng Moxuan’s expression turned cold.

Jiang Changkong remained motionless, making no move.

Heng Moxuan stiffened, then walked outside on his own initiative, unleashing Star Power to forcibly condense a silver-white moon bridge: “You…”

“Your body is still quite honest, isn’t it?” Jiang Changkong turned around, smiling as he looked at him.

Heng Moxuan was horrified—just now, Jiang Changkong had been controlling him!

“Let’s go help.” Fourth Uncle Nan and Professor Yu hurried out to assist.

Being with this guy is terrifying!
