Rapid footsteps reverberated in the corridor outside Qianji Agency. After hearing that, Guan Minjun, the president of Earthly Treasures Department who was on duty in Qianji Agency, knitted her brows. Closely after that, she moved her eyes away from the document unpleasantly.

“Honglei, take a look outside who’s making such a loud noise. That’s too rude! It’s the hub of the immortal palace. How could it be so flurried?”

Noticing that Guan Minjun was furious, her assistant bowed towards her and trotted out of Qianji Agency immediately.

Seeing her assistant off, Guan Minjun didn’t want to review the document anymore. She put it down and looked outside through the window while heaving a deep sigh…

It was a bright and beautiful spring day outside the window. She could smell a faint fragrance. Some little birds were chirping on the trees. The crape myrtle was in full blossoms. Additionally, there were some crimson twigs. At the sight of them, Guan Minjun felt relaxed.

However, she didn’t feel good at all. As Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace was in its tough period, the immortal generals of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace couldn’t feel pleasant or relax at all despite facing such a good scenery.

Since Elder Wang Laisheng who was on duty in Qianji Agency was killed by Versatile Demon Emperor 7 years ago in a sneak attack, none of the rest elders of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace were on duty in Qianji Agency anymore; because Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace couldn’t stand such a great loss anymore.

As for the 7 elders of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu were killed by Zhang Tie as they worked for Dark Emperor Immortal Palace. After Elder Wang Laisheng was killed, there were only 4 elders. It was hard for 4 fire immortal generals to support Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. If another elder was killed, the morality of all the immortal generals of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace would be severely weakened. By then, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace would fall apart completely. Therefore, from then on, the remaining four elders chose to cultivate independently and secretly; instead of being on duty in Qianji Agency anymore. Later on, only the presidents of the five major departments were on duty in Qianji Agency.

Guan Minjun was on duty today. Given that Versatile Demon Emperor had raided Dragon Emperor City for three times, Guan Minjun always remained highly vigilant. She had captured the rapid footsteps from 2,000 m away. Therefore, she instantly assigned someone to stop it.

Over these years, such rapid footsteps always implied bad news. They had even formed a conditional reflex. Once they heard such rapid footsteps, their hearts would palpitate once as they realized that something bad had happened?

Soon after that, various gossips would spread over the Dragon Emperor City, making people flurried.

‘Since when has Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace become so weak? How could I be shocked by such rapid footsteps of a messenger?’

Guan Minjun mocked herself.

At the same time, Guan Minjun started to miss the vigorous scene facing Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace when Zhang Tie was here. Although some immortal generals and elders of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace doubted whether Zhang Tie was qualified to be the new Dragon Emperor, Guan Minjun was still one of the powers who supported Zhang Tie firmly.

As the president of Earthly Treasures Department, Guan Minjun was in charge of the finance of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. She understood Zhang Tie’s value to the entire Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace much better than anyone else. On one hand, Zhang Tie had already acquired the secret skills of Grand Dragon Emperor; on the other hand, Zhang Tie could produce Dragon Emperor Medicament. Even though Zhang Tie was not an immortal general, Guan Minjun would also stand on his side. The reason was very simple. If Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace was taken as a business group or boite, of course, the one being qualified to be the boss of the business group or boite should be the person who could afford his subordinates. Only such a person could maintain the cohesiveness of a business group or boite and further develop the business group or boite in case of bankruptcy.

Besides Zhang Tie, nobody else in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace could do it.

Without Zhang Tie’s benevolence, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, which had been severely damaged, couldn’t sustain.

Without Zhang Tie’s help, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace would have long perished instead of maintaining this situation hardly in Dragon Emperor Big Domain.

It was the greatest contribution that Zhang Tie had made to Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace; as for how Zhang Tie ascended to the throne of Dragon Emperor, it was not important. On that occasion, how could Zhang Tie enhance the cohesiveness of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace without any tricks?

Even Guan Minjun felt that Zhang Tie’s performance of disguising as Grand Dragon Emperor was such wonderful. She admired Zhang Tie very much. She couldn’t think through how Zhang Tie made it.

‘What if His Majesty has not died in Infinite Immortal Prison!’

Guan Minjun heaved a deep sigh. Closely after that, she knitted her brow again because the rapid footsteps became louder. Just now, only one person was trotting in the corridor; but now it seemed that her assistant was pulling someone’s arm and running towards Qianji Agency.

Even though she didn’t walk out, Guan Minjun could also imagine the eye-catching situation outside the door.

Without notice or asking for instruction, her assistant directly broke into the door while pulling the arm of a low-rank official in the uniform of Supervision Department.

The two people looked pretty thrilled with red faces. It seemed that they had something important to report; instead of being flurried at all. Watching their expressions, Guan Minjun finally became a bit reassured.

“Honglei, why are you so rude? How can you run outside?” Guan Minjun watched her assistant and denounced her.

After taking in a deep breath, the assistant didn’t speak; instead, she just watched that official of Supervision Department who was quivering all over and oozing sweat heavily due to excitement.

“President Guan, something big happened in Dragonsea City!”

“Take easy. Go ahead!” Guan Minjun said calmly.

“According to our agents in Dragonsea City, the missing His Majesty Dragon Emperor appeared in Dragonsea City. He killed Two Blackblood Sages and cleaned up all the bandit backbones of Blackblood Alliance in Dragonsea City…”

“What?” Guan Minjun who denounced them just now instantly sprung up. She then asked her with an unbelievable look while giving out a shrewd light through her eyes, “Who appeared in Dragonsea City?”

Two Dragon Emperors of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace were missing. One had been missing for over 900 years; the other had been missing in Infinite Immortal Prison for a few years. After hearing that official’s words, Guan Minjun became dumbfounded at once.

The official of the Supervision Department instantly realized it as she hurriedly made it clearer, “It’s His Majesty Zhang Tie. His Majesty Zhang Tie appeared in Dragonsea City and killed all the bandits and heads of Blackblood Alliance…”

After hearing her words, Guan Minjun felt hot blood rushing straight to her scalp as if being struck by lightning. She slightly quivered once. “Is that intelligence reliable? Who saw His Majesty?”

“The one who sent back the message was an agent that Supervision Department assigned in Dragonsea City. According to him, it was a maiden in the branch of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Dragonsea City who recognized His Majesty. When that maiden followed Ying Zigui to Dragon Emperor City, she once saw His Majesty far away. She witnessed the whole process in the palace of Dragonsea City. She even had a brief talk with His Majesty. After killing those bandits of Blackblood Alliance, His Majesty left there, leaving an especially strong punch qi of Dragon Emperor Immortal Fist, causing the entire Dragonsea City chaotic…”

“What about other cities that Blackblood Alliance has occupied?”

“According to the agents of Supervision Department in those cities, some big cities occupied by Blackblood Alliance are already in turmoil and chaos…”

Guan Minjun’s breasts undulated as she closed her eyes. After a short while, she opened her eyes with some calmness and intelligence in her eyes. She then delivered two orders consecutively, “Fetch Commander-in-Chief Huang and the other presidents of departments here. We’re going to negotiate with something vital. Additionally, assign immortal general scouts of the Military Department and Supervision Department to Dragonsea City and the other cities occupied by Blackblood Alliance to check whether the intelligence is true or not…”

The current Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace couldn’t endure any hardships anymore. Although the intelligence was sent by an agent of the Supervision Department in Dragonsea City and Guan Minjun hoped this intelligence was true, she must take precautions against it. Two Blackblood Sages were always tricky and so many powers were casting greedy eyes on Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in the surroundings. What if it was a trap that Blackblood Alliance set for Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace?

…

Only after a short while, those presidents of the five departments and Huang Baimei who was in charge of Dragon Teeth Army had already gathered in Qianji Agency.

Among the five presidents of the departments of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace that Zhang Tie appointed, as Tang Shenghou and Huo Xianlai stood on the side of Shi Zhongyu and Xia Yangming, they had been sentenced to death on the same year. Later on, two more were killed by Versatile Demon Emperor in three sneak attacks. Therefore, besides Guan Minjun the president of Earthly Treasures Department and Xue Zhongkai the president of Heavenly Craftsmanship Department, all the others were fresh.

As for Huang Baimei, his face had become more wrinkled and tenacious after 7 years. He had completely lost his left arm, which witnessed the hardships that he had experienced in the past 7 years.

Guan Minjun then exposed the intelligence to them.

In the beginning, they were in hubbubs. After gradually recovering their composure, they also doubted that it was a trap.

“I suggest waiting until our immortal general scouts send back intelligence from Dragonsea City. If it’s true, we will notice those elders…” Xue Zhongkai the president of Heavenly Craftsmanship Department said in an experienced and reserved way, “Additionally, if that man is His Majesty, why doesn’t His Majesty return to Dragon Emperor City or contact those elders first after getting out of Infinite Immortal Prison?”

All the others nodded!

When he heard this news, Huang Baimei’s eyes sparkled as his heart palpitated faintly due to excitement. However, at this moment, he had to admit that Xue Zhongkai’s method was safer. If Dragonsea City was indeed in great chaos and Zhang Tie had killed Two Blackblood Sages and left the strong punch qi of Dragon Emperor Immortal Fist in Dragonsea City, their immortal general scouts could definitely send back the news…

…

However, before these moguls of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace left there, they had heard rapid footsteps again from outside. According to this agent of Dragon Emperor Immortal, the base of Five Elements Immortal Palace in Heavenly Dragon City of Dragon Emperor Big Domain was suddenly raided by a powerhouse just now. One deputy president, three grand justices and over 50 immortal generals in Five Elements Immortal Palace were killed in a split second. The headquarters of Five Elements Immortal Palace in Heavenly Dragon City was destroyed. The attacker even left a powerful punch qi being similar to that of Dragon Emperor Immortal Fist. Heavenly Dragon City was already in chaos…

…

Closely after that, they received the third news…

Yun Clan which transferred its battlefield to Dragon Emperor Big Domain from Nine Heavens Big Domain and occupied a large area of Dragon Emperor Big Domain in the north 7 years ago was raided and suffered great casualties. Yun Tianhao the grand owner of Yun Clan, also a well-known supreme-level immortal general in Motian Realm was punched into pieces by the attacker in the eyes of many people…

…

“His Majesty, His Majesty is back…” Huang Baimei sprung up at a stroke out of excitement…
