343: Old Deng, I don't like your tone.
But just then, a loud bang came, followed by a violent tremor.
"What's going on?!"
The old man quickly got up and asked.
A soldier immediately rushed in and knelt on one knee.
"Report to Grand Elder, there was a violent explosion in the VIP registration room of the registration office. The specific cause is unknown."
"Go investigate immediately!" Wu Xiong's expression changed. Could it be that Chen Heng had gone mad in the Imperial Capital?
"Yes!"
The soldier responded and immediately left to investigate the cause of the explosion.
Wu Xiong's face was a little unsightly. He had just finished bragging about Chen Heng, so why did something go wrong?
...The VIP registration room, oh no, the VIP registration room that had already turned into ruins.
Chen Heng patted the girl who was squatting with her head in her arms, and put away his Mouth of Taotie.
More than 80% of the energy generated by the explosion just now was absorbed by him, which was why the girl wasn't blown to death.
No one expected that the latest instrument, which claimed to have an extremely high threshold, couldn't withstand Chen Heng's blood and directly caused a big explosion.
"Burp."
Chen Heng burped and exhaled a puff of black smoke from his mouth.
The energy generated by the explosion just now was not absorbed by Chen Heng, but was confined in his stomach, ready to be used at any time.
"Are you alright?" Chen Heng asked, looking at the girl whose face was covered in dust.
"I'm fine, it's just..." The girl looked up at the instrument that was nothing but slag, and her face became even more unsightly.
Among the ruins, Bai Jun and Luo Shuo also pulled their heads out of the rubble, looking at Chen Heng in a daze.
"Big Brother Chen, what's going on now?"
"It's nothing, their stuff is of poor quality." Chen Heng waved his hand, signaling the two not to worry.
"Alright, this isn't your fault either. Go clean yourself up quickly." Chen Heng picked up the girl and placed her aside, then walked towards Yi Xing not far away.
"Your quality is too poor. How can it just explode?"
Yi Xing originally wanted to ask what happened, but he didn't expect Chen Heng to launch a preemptive strike.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, it's our mistake."
But to stabilize Chen Heng, Yi Xing had no choice but to swallow his pride.
"Alright, it's not really your fault. Let's leave it at that."
As soon as Chen Heng pulled his foot out of the ruins, a figure descended from the sky and landed in front of Chen Heng.
"Senior Chen." Yi Qiaoer took off her helmet and greeted him somewhat fearfully.
"Qiao'er, why are you here?" Yi Xing looked at Yi Qiaoer in surprise, then stepped forward to brush the dust off her.
"What are you doing here?" Chen Heng felt annoyed when he saw Yi Qiaoer. This silly woman looked good, but her intelligence was a bit low.
"Uncle Wu just sent a message, saying that the Council of Elders has finished speaking and wants me to take you there now."
Yi Qiaoer trembled as she spoke, afraid of irritating Chen Heng.
"What, do I eat people?"
"Are you so scared?"
Chen Heng's playful mood was piqued by Yi Qiaoer. He took a step forward and approached Yi Qiaoer.
"No, it's not..." Yi Qiaoer instinctively wanted to ride her Sky Steed and run, but she couldn't not do what Uncle Wu had told her.
And she didn't know if this Senior would get angry if she ran, so it was better to stand still.
Seeing Yi Qiaoer standing still like a statue, Chen Heng's playful mood instantly disappeared.
"Boring, let's go." Chen Heng waved his hand, losing interest in Yi Qiaoer.
"Qiao'er, do you know Mr. Chen?" Yi Xing asked in surprise.
"Brother, don't ask what you shouldn't ask." Yi Qiaoer glared at Yi Xing, intending to take Chen Heng and ride the Sky Steed.
"No need, you just lead the way." Chen Heng glanced at the Sky Steed, which looked like a motorcycle, and waved his hand in disdain.
It wasn't that he didn't like motorcycles in his previous life, but this thing in front of him was really too ugly.
"Okay, then please Senior Chen, follow me." Yi Qiaoer nodded and started the Sky Steed.
"You two find a place to rest. I'll come find you when I get back."
Chen Heng turned his head and informed Bai Jun and Luo Shuo, then started the engine in his legs and followed.
Chen Heng didn't plan to bring Bai Jun and Luo Shuo to the Council of Elders this time.
There was no other reason; Chen Heng just had some questions he wanted to ask them.
And the questions Chen Heng wanted to ask them were not suitable for Bai Jun and Luo Shuo to know.
Hearing Chen Heng say this, Bai Jun and Luo Shuo naturally didn't think much of it, just nodded and agreed... The two flew into the air, and the Central Great Tower in the distance was clearly visible.
However, although it was clearly visible, the distance was still not close.
Chen Heng had jumped down when he first entered the Imperial Capital, and there was still a considerable distance to the Great Tower in the very center of the Imperial Capital.
After about half an hour, the two stopped at the entrance of the Central Great Tower.
"Senior Chen, I cannot enter the rest of the way. Someone will come to pick you up."
After saying this, Yi Qiaoer finally felt relieved.
Yi Qiaoer had endured the past half an hour by gritting her teeth.
That feeling of being followed by a fierce beast was truly unpleasant.
Chen Heng ignored Yi Qiaoer and walked straight in, disregarding the guards standing at the entrance.
The two guards wanted to stop Chen Heng, but Yi Qiaoer's glare sent them back.
From then on, Chen Heng had a smooth journey. After asking about the location of the Council of Elders, Chen Heng walked directly to the top floor.
"It's so modernized, yet there isn't even an elevator. How trashy."
Looking at the seemingly endless stairs, Chen Heng directly activated the engine in his legs and flew up the stairs.
The Great Tower was about seven hundred meters high, and the Council of Elders was at the very top of the Great Tower.
But Chen Heng's jet engine was not to be underestimated; it took him less than a minute to stand in front of the tightly closed door of the Council of Elders.
"Stop, who are you, to dare trespass..."
The soldier at the door was quite clueless, raising the spiritual energy gun in his hand and aiming it at Chen Heng.
Chen Heng completely ignored him and kicked open the tightly closed door of the Council of Elders.
"You..." The soldier still wanted to shoot, but the moment he met Chen Heng's eyes, he rolled his eyes and fainted.
"Really, what kind of trash is this?"
Chen Heng shook his head in disappointment.
So far, the Chengtian Empire, apart from its excessive modernization which surprised Chen Heng a little, truly failed to pique Chen Heng's interest in terms of strength.
"You're looking for me?"
As soon as Chen Heng entered the Council of Elders, he saw Wu Xiong standing in the center.
After greeting him, he casually found a chair and sat down.
"You are Chen Heng?"
The Grand Elder at the very top asked in a condescending tone.
"Old man, I don't like your tone." Chen Heng looked up at the Grand Elder, releasing all the Devilish Qi and Evil Qi that were sealed within his body.
"You'd best think carefully before you speak your next sentence, as this is an important matter concerning whether your old life can be preserved."
