Chapter 808: Chapter 242: This Town-Nation Duke’s Heir, Truly No Ordinary Person (Please Subscribe)

The Great Tang Emperor’s words fell into Cheng Guang’s ears, instantly baffling him.

His mind went blank for a moment, and when he heard “Erlang Shen, Yang Jian” from the Great Tang Emperor’s mouth, his eyes widened.

Cheng Guang was stunned for a while but quickly realized that the Great Tang Emperor had misunderstood something.

He had intended for the Great Tang Emperor to take control of the Great Yan Dynasty, but the Great Tang Emperor had done something else.

The Great Tang Emperor had misunderstood, but how had he connected it with Erlang Shen Yang Jian?

Previously, Cheng Guang had been considering whether the True Lord of Pure Origin Painting in his mind was indeed Erlang Shen Yang Jian.

If it really were Erlang Shen Yang Jian, where should he go to find him?

Before Cheng Guang could act, the Great Tang Emperor had already found Erlang Shen Yang Jian, nearly delivering him right in front of Cheng Guang.

Cheng Guang took a deep breath, then fixed his gaze on the Great Tang Emperor and asked, “Did you see Erlang Shen Yang Jian?”

The Great Tang Emperor nodded slightly, his majestic face showing a trace of bitterness.

“I did see him, but I failed to complete the task you assigned me, Princely Heir. I didn’t bring Erlang Shen Yang Jian back.”

“Even though he had just awakened, his strength was beyond what I could contend with.”

After the Great Tang Emperor finished speaking, Cheng Guang’s expression turned even more bizarre.

Well now.

You really thought about bringing Erlang Shen Yang Jian back directly.

Cheng Guang was at a loss for words for a moment.

He had merely wanted the Great Tang Emperor to control the Great Yan Dynasty; who knew how the Great Tang Emperor had misunderstood and unexpectedly encountered Erlang Shen Yang Jian.

“Where did you see Erlang Shen Yang Jian?”

Cheng Guang asked with an odd expression.

The Great Tang Emperor, hearing Cheng Guang’s question, was also slightly taken aback, not expecting Cheng Guang to ask this.

However, the Great Tang Emperor quickly found an answer for himself.

Perhaps Cheng Guang was testing him, wanting to verify whether he had truly seen Erlang Shen Yang Jian.

The Great Tang Emperor inwardly marveled at Cheng Guang’s meticulous thoughts, then he didn’t say much else, only that,

“In the back mountains of the Dayan Imperial Palace.”

“Erlang Shen Yang Jian had awoken there, in the back mountains of the Dayan Imperial Palace.”

After saying this, the Great Tang Emperor thought for a moment and added, “Erlang Shen Yang Jian’s strength is formidable; I was no match for him. If he hadn’t suddenly had other matters and left abruptly, I probably would have perished by now.”

While saying this, the Great Tang Emperor’s tone contained a measure of trepidation and unease.

Cheng Guang could clearly see a hint of fear in the deep, dark eyes of the Great Tang Emperor.

The Great Tang Emperor was indeed scared by Erlang Shen Yang Jian’s strength.

“He suddenly left?”

Cheng Guang muttered to himself doubtfully.

Originally, he had been thinking that if he knew Erlang Shen Yang Jian’s location, he could still go and test Erlang Shen Yang Jian later.

Even if not as an enemy or ally, making initial contact and assessing him would be good.

But now…

Since Erlang Shen Yang Jian had already left,

Cheng Guang truly had no capability or means to find the whereabouts of Erlang Shen Yang Jian in this world.

Moreover…

Cheng Guang had truly not expected Erlang Shen Yang Jian to possess such immense power just upon awakening.

Such that even the Great Tang Emperor could not stand against him.

To know…

The Great Tang Emperor had already awakened long ago and even strategized for many years.

His cultivation and strength had also improved a lot.

Generally, newly awakened Immortals and Deities, or Buddhists, simply couldn’t match the Great Tang Emperor.

Even Cheng Guang himself wouldn’t dare claim he could stand against the Great Tang Emperor without the support of Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha.

With the support of these two, he was certain he could subdue the Great Tang Emperor.

Apart from the aid of Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha, his own emergence, capable of controlling Tang Chang’an City, might just be the final straw to completely overpower the Great Tang Emperor.

With this thought, Cheng Guang inwardly exclaimed,

“Truly worthy of being Heavenly Court’s greatest war deity…”

“Even just after awakening, his cultivation and strength are so exceptional.”

Cheng Guang sighed internally, then casually patted the Great Tang Emperor on the shoulder, comforting him with,

“You’ve done very well.”

“You don’t need to worry about what comes next.”

The Great Tang Emperor, upon being comforted by Cheng Guang in this way, felt his heart, which had been tense, not only fail to relax but also felt faintly as though he had died there and then.

It was his first time carrying out a task assigned by Town-Nation Duke’s Heir Cheng Guang, and he hadn’t done it successfully.

The Great Tang Emperor had already prepared himself for Cheng Guang’s punishment.

However, he truly hadn’t expected Cheng Guang to treat him this way.

Instead of blaming him, Cheng Guang had patted his shoulder, saying he had done very well.

This feeling made the Great Tang Emperor feel a chilling sensation creeping into his body.

He always felt that Town-Nation Duke’s Heir Cheng Guang was merely comforting him on the surface while, in reality, he was very disappointed.

And the Great Tang Emperor’s own life and property were now entirely in the hands of Town-Nation Duke’s Heir Cheng Guang.
