Chapter 1900 - 1466-1467: Rumors Abound! The Regent King’s Game!

There was a wealth path opened by the He Family that shocked the Holy Dynasty. Jiang Dali either traveled by water or rode the Fire Qilin through mountains and cities, reaching the He Family located in the largest prefecture of the Divine Continent, Dragon Cloud Mansion, in just four days from Hukou City in the Huwei Continent.

Arriving at Dragon Cloud Mansion, it could be said he was on the He Family’s turf.

Dragon Cloud Mansion, benefitting from the He Family’s exceptional commercial influence, is also the richest prefecture in the entire Divine Continent. The economic tax revenue of the Holy Dynasty each year is one-tenth contributed by Dragon Cloud Mansion, which means the economic benefits Dragon Cloud Mansion creates for the Holy Dynasty almost compare to an entire continent as poor as the Yunmeng Continent.

When Jiang Dali arrived, the welcome ceremony of the He Family was still grand.

The ceremonial procession beating gongs and drums lined from the city gate of the prefecture to the gate of the He Family Mansion. The residents of the prefecture welcomed him with rapture outside the safe line, the scene resembling a triumphant general returning from victory.

The master of the He Family, He Jin, personally awaited at the mansion gate to welcome the esteemed guest, while the three flowers of the He Family all rushed to the city gate to join the ceremonial band and the Lord of Dragon Cloud Mansion in the reception.

When they saw Jiang Dali, clad in gold armor and riding the Fire Qilin like a heavenly god descended, the expressions of the three sisters of the He Family varied.

The eldest of the He Family, He Lingxu, was regarded as a top-tier beauty in appearance and figure, features and skin. Yet, usually cold as ice, she seldom showed herself in public. This time, she came out of the city actively to welcome, even though wearing a mesh veil, it still made people’s heart pound.

However, at this time, as this cold and aloof beauty looked at the heroic figure riding the Fire Qilin, her eyes seemed to follow with heat, her heart also heated up, her entire being was about to ignite, yet soon seemed to recall something, her gaze dimmed slightly.

Next to her, He Hongzhi was very curious and admired Jiang Dali. Seeing her sister like this, she couldn’t help but secretly find it amazing.

But seeing that imposing figure sitting awe-inspiring atop the fearsome beast in the fire, exhibiting a grand demeanor of heroic manliness, she also felt that such a great man, it’s no wonder even the always aloof elder sister was enamored. Alas, earlier her father matched the third sister with him, not the eldest sister.

Stealing a glance at the third sister He Lingyue’s demeanor, He Lingyue seemed to sense it immediately, retracting the fleeting complexity in her eyes, turned and glared at He Hongzhi, snorted, and turned away.

Seeing Jiang Dali had already dismounted from the Fire Qilin and began exchanging pleasantries with the Mansion Master, the three women also advanced to greet and offer their regards.

Jiang Dali returned the courtesy as usual, then settled the Fire Qilin before mounting a handsome horse led by city officials proudly entering the city to rounds of cheers.

On the way riding towards the He Mansion in the city center, Jiang Dali also secretly observed this prefecture acclaimed as the richest in the Holy Dynasty and discovered it indeed lived up to its name.

The streets in the city were wide enough for eight carriages to run side by side, and the buildings in the city, many even over three stories high, some as tall as more than ten stories, demonstrated extremely beautiful architectural craftsmanship, showcasing the city’s profound financial strength and style. Among the crowds welcoming along the way were also some martial artists, and occasionally he could sense the qi mechanism of several Heavenly Experts.

Jiang Dali lamented in his heart, in any city of a vassal state, it would be impossible for Heavenly Experts to appear so casually.

But in this Holy Dynasty’s Dragon Cloud Mansion, it was unexpectedly a clustering situation.

Out of curiosity, he moved his primordial spirit slightly, extending in a concealed manner towards those clustered Heavenly Experts, and soon in his mind appeared several images of men and women sitting in a street-side table at a teahouse, their conversational debates also drifted into his ears.

"Marquis Wei Wu, truly lives up to his reputation. Just now, seeing from afar the Fire Qilin he tamed, I feel that even if the three of us went together, we’d definitely not be its match."

"That’s merely a mount under his saddle."

"Marquis Wei Wu is indeed powerful, but after all, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. How many days has he been in the Holy Dynasty now? Already several cities are spreading rumors he emerged from the Sky Abyss. Clearly, someone doesn’t want him to have it easy."

"Hm?"

Jiang Dali’s expression tensed, never expecting by chance overhearing, he’d so coincidentally hear such important information. He immediately concentrated, continuing to listen to the few people’s exchanges.

"... Those, after all, are just rumors, who has the capability to come out from the Sky Abyss? For all these years, there’s been none. Although Marquis Wei Wu is very strong, it’s yet to this extent, right?"

"I don’t believe it either, many people don’t believe it, but once such a thing spreads, even if only a small part believe, it’s very detrimental to Marquis Wei Wu."

"Heh heh... to have the gall to spread such news, and so swiftly letting such seemingly improbable news spread across several cities, this energy is not small. Alright, let’s not talk about it, our main visit to Dragon Cloud Mansion wasn’t just to watch the spectacle..."

With this, they changed the topic, beginning to discuss personal matters.

Jiang Dali listened to a few sentences, not bothered to listen more, directly using primordial spirit transmission to the minds of the three.

"You three, come to He Residence before 7 p.m."

...

In the teahouse opposite, the two men and one woman immersed in a heated conversation were all struck with fright, their skin crawled. One person instinctively sprang up and shouted, "Who is toying with us three..."

Before finishing, all three felt a gaze as solid as real fall upon them from the window, involuntarily overwhelmed with palpitations and weakness, all of them staring towards the window in trepidation.

Only to see down the street, Jiang Dali’s imposing figure riding a tall steed, his eyes sharp with a mesmerizing and menacing charisma, instilling a bone-chilling intimidation.
