Chapter 2380 The Coronation Ceremony of the City Lord of Tianguang City Begins

The city lord of Tianguang City slowly turned his gaze to Chen Xuan.

In that instant, Chen Xuan felt as if all his secrets were about to be exposed under the gaze of the City Lord of Tianguang City.

An indescribable sense of terror and oppression welled up from the depths of Chen Xuan's heart.

However, the city lord of Tianguang City seemed to have noticed Chen Xuan's discomfort, and immediately laughed and looked away.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, although this is our first meeting, Qin'er speaks highly of you. I also know that Qin'er has received many favors from you."

"This time, I'll have to trouble you again, Fellow Daoist Chen, to be Qin'er's protector at the coronation ceremony. I owe you a favor!"

The city lord of Tianguang City looked at Chen Xuan with satisfaction in his eyes.

He was a true Grand Luo Golden Immortal at the late stage of the Great Perfection realm.

He is one of the top experts in the entire Tiannan True Immortal Realm.

His cultivation level was significantly higher than that of the five patriarchs of Yaoguang Cave.

Unexpectedly, the city lord of Tianguang City was giving Chen Xuan a lot of face at this moment.

He even specifically mentioned that he owed Chen Xuan a favor.

This surprised Xiao Qin.

However, Chen Xuan dared not be careless.

“Senior, I am also an old friend of Fairy Xiao. Helping her with a small favor is nothing,” Chen Xuan said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Chen, you are indeed quite remarkable. If it were anyone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't have your composure. How about this, Qin'er said that you also follow the path of the Ten Sword Cultivators. I happen to have a Sword Pavilion, which can be of some use for sword cultivation. After this coronation ceremony, you and Qin'er can go to the Sword Pavilion to cultivate for a while, how about that?"

"Thank you very much, senior. I will certainly not refuse!"

"very good!"

The city lord of Tianguang City nodded in satisfaction.

Seeing this, Xiao Qin, who was standing to the side, also smiled happily.

"Brother Chen, I've called you here today to give you some instructions. Not long ago, we compiled a list of the young powerhouses who came to participate in the coronation ceremony. The others are fine, but some people need to be closely monitored. For example, Jiuxiao, the son of Emperor Guangwu, although he is a mid-stage Golden Immortal, he may not attack us himself, but we cannot rule out the possibility that he will send his servants to do so."

"Besides Jiuxiao, there is also Blood Red Mountain from Blood Red City. As the son of Blood Red City Lord Xue Weng, although he is only at the early stage of Golden Immortal, his strength is absolutely outstanding among his peers. Fellow Daoist Chen, you should know Young Master Jian, right? It is said that before Blood Red Spirit advanced to the early stage of Golden Immortal, he fought with Young Master Jian, and the two were evenly matched."

"Besides Crimson City and Radiant Martial City, there are many other geniuses we need to be wary of!"

"I had someone compile a detailed list of these people and rank their abilities for your reference, Brother Chen."

As they spoke, Xiao Qin personally handed a jade slip to Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan nodded and picked up the jade slip to examine it carefully.

Soon, he saw the names of many famous geniuses and powerful figures in the Tiannan True Immortal Realm.

"The fairy's coronation ceremony is quite lively. However, although these people are extremely talented and have considerable combat power, I am fairly confident in dealing with them if they are only at the early stage of Golden Immortals," Chen Xuan said with a smile.

Chen Xuan would never do something that diminishes his own prestige while boosting the morale of others.

Besides, Chen Xuan was also well aware that he was no ordinary person.

At least among the powerful individuals of the same realm that he has encountered, he has rarely met a worthy opponent.

That's why Chen Xuan really wanted to have a go at this coronation ceremony with these true geniuses from the Tiannan Immortal Realm to see just how big the gap was between his strength and theirs.

"Hehe, I do believe in you, Brother Chen. However, Brother Chen, don't put too much pressure on yourself. It's okay if you lose."

"I became the young city lord because of the connections I've built up over the years and my own strength, not because of the sycophancy of these people!"

Seeing the seriousness in Chen Xuan's eyes, Xiao Qin immediately smiled and comforted him.

Seeing this, the city lord of Tianguang City smiled and comforted Chen Xuan for a few words.

This immediately put Chen Xuan in a great mood.

"Thank you, Fairy. Thank you, City Lord. But if there is anything I can do to help you at tomorrow's coronation ceremony, I will do my best."

"Haha, if that's the case, then thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Chen, for protecting my daughter. Now, the coronation ceremony is not far away. Fellow Daoist Chen, you should go and rest in the side hall first. We'll attend the coronation ceremony together later!" the City Lord of Tianguang City said with a smile.

"Yes!"

After agreeing, Chen Xuan said goodbye to Xiao Qin and then left alone.

However, not long after Chen Xuan left, the city lord of Tianguang City looked at Chen Xuan with a more solemn expression.

"Qin'er, this Fellow Daoist Chen is indeed a dragon among men. I see that he is about the same age as you, and you have a very good relationship. Have you considered making him your dual cultivation partner?"

"father!"

Xiao Qin looked shy.

Seeing the City Lord of Tianguang City looking at her seriously, seemingly unwilling to speak casually, Xiao Qin quickly said, "Father, although I don't know if Fellow Daoist Chen has a cultivation partner, I feel that there will be no future between Fellow Daoist Chen and me?"

"Why?"

"For Fellow Daoist Chen to be able to get to know me and become friends is already a very good thing for me. How could a genius like him lack admirers? Besides, if Fellow Daoist Chen were to become my cultivation partner, wouldn't our Heavenly Light City become a burden to him?"

"Hehe, Qin'er, what you said has surprised me somewhat. However, I understand what you meant. I must say, you have a very good eye for people."

The city lord of Tianguang City nodded with a smile.

Soon, he looked at Xiao Qin very seriously and said, "Qin'er, this Fellow Daoist Chen is indeed not suitable to be your cultivation partner. His future is not limited to the Tiannan True Immortal Realm. In fact, even I cannot see through the secrets he hides. It is already a blessing in life to know such a genius and become friends with him. If you ask for more, it would be going too far!"

"father!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qin seemed to understand something and rolled her eyes at the City Lord of Tianguang City.

"So you were testing me just now?"

"Haha... Actually, it's not really a test. I think you're right. Besides, even if this Fellow Daoist Chen is exceptionally talented and his future achievements are limitless, he's still only at the early stage of Golden Immortal. He has a long way to go. If you and he become cultivation partners, I can lend him a hand. But right now, there's no such opportunity."

……

Chen Xuan was unaware that after he left, the City Lord of Tianguang City and Xiao Qin had this conversation.

When he left the main hall, he saw Elder Bai waiting outside.

After exchanging brief greetings, Elder Bai led Chen Xuan directly to the side hall.

There were already quite a few early-stage Golden Immortals waiting for Chen Xuan here.

It was the protector that the City Lord of Tianguang City found for Xiao Qin.

Chen Xuan's gaze swept over these people.

Although these people possessed a powerful aura, they seemed to have all the cultivation they needed.

When they looked at him, everyone's eyes were very clear.

It seems they have experienced very few battles.

Chen Xuan asked himself, if he were to fight these people, he could easily win, even if it were one against three, let alone one against two.

If it were a life-or-death struggle, even if these people joined forces, they probably wouldn't be his match.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, these fellow Daoists are the protectors that the City Lord has found for Miss. Tomorrow, you will be with them. If anyone challenges Miss, Fellow Daoist Chen, do not make the first move; let them make the first move!" Elder Bai said with a smile.

Before Chen Xuan could speak, the burly man leading the group said with displeasure, "Elder Bai, what do you mean by this? Are you looking down on us? We are the protectors appointed by the City Lord."

As soon as he finished speaking, the other protectors also looked furious.

"Elder Bai, this Fellow Daoist Chen is only at the early stage of Golden Immortal. Why should he be the last one to perform?"

"That's right, there's bound to be a lot of fighting at tomorrow's coronation ceremony. We haven't even seen his strength yet, how can we let him be the grand finale?"

“That’s right. This matter concerns the reputation of Miss and our Tianguang City, so we cannot be careless in the slightest. Please consider it carefully, Elder Bai.”

Old Bai chuckled and looked at Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan understood Bai Lao's meaning perfectly well.

He immediately smiled and took a step forward.

"Fellow Daoists, although you are the chosen ones of the City Lord's Mansion, you have never experienced a true life-or-death battle!"

"Naturally, I can't understand why, even though we're both at the early stage of Golden Immortal, your combat power is inferior to mine!"

"I know you're all very dissatisfied. In that case, how about we have a friendly spar?"

Chen Xuan's words were instantly met with everyone's approval.

The leader, an early-stage Golden Immortal, snorted coldly and said directly, "Fellow Daoist Chen, you brought this up yourself. If you feel you've done anything wrong later, don't blame us."

"Hehe, fellow Daoist, don't worry. If I lose, you can arrange the protection for me tomorrow as you see fit. But let's not waste time on the next sparring session. Why don't you all come at me together?" Chen Xuan said with a smile.

Everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment.

They are all early-stage Golden Immortals.

He was still the pride of the city lord's mansion.

There are a total of six people.

If they join forces, wouldn't it be six against one Chen Xuan?

Even if they defeat Chen Xuan, they will not feel honored.

Thinking of this, everyone's expression turned solemn.

Chen Xuan, however, smiled and said, "Don't worry, even if you guys join forces, you can't hurt me."

"Hehe, since Fellow Daoist Chen has put it that way, then let us experience your skills!"

The leading early-stage Golden Immortal waved his hand, and everyone simultaneously unleashed their immortal power to attack Chen Xuan.

However, their attack has not yet fully erupted.

Chen Xuan suddenly blurred and disappeared from the spot.

Immediately afterwards, screams rang out, and everyone, including the leading early-stage Golden Immortal expert, fell to the ground.

This scene made Old Bai shake his head.

"Sigh, our City Lord's Mansion has really not experienced enough battles over the years. You young people really should go out and gain more experience."

"After Miss's coronation ceremony, all of you should go to Flying City for some training!"

Upon hearing this, all the early-stage Golden Immortal experts fell silent.

However, at this moment, when they looked at Chen Xuan, there was no longer any provocation in their eyes, only inexplicable awe.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan smiled and said, "Fellow Daoists, a bet is a bet. The order of attack at tomorrow's coronation ceremony will be as Elder Bai wishes. You have no objections, right?"

Having experienced Chen Xuan's methods firsthand, the early-stage Golden Immortals present naturally dared not voice any objection and nodded in agreement.

Soon after, everyone quickly became friends with Chen Xuan.

We'll just have to wait until the next morning.

As a melodious celestial melody rang out, everyone followed Xiao Qin and appeared on a cloud platform that had been set up in advance.

The coronation ceremony of the young lord of Tianguang City finally began at this moment.
