Shocking World War Emperor-Chapter 464: Long Time No See

Two days later.

Ling Chen and his group finally arrived at the Academic Palace.

Stepping into the familiar place, all the students felt relieved.

Especially since they had encountered an assassin on the way.

These past two days, they had been incredibly tense, but now they were finally safe.

Once they disembarked from the Flying Divine Ship, Ling Chen returned to the Bamboo Garden to continue planning the rescue of his father.

Master Lin reported the training in the Northern Border and the assassin encounter involving Ling Chen to the higher authorities.

Unfortunately, even after searching the assassin’s storage ring, Master Lin found no useful clues.

Ling Chen didn’t pin his hopes on the Academic Palace either.

Ten days later.

Liu Qingcang returned.

Only then did Ling Chen leave the Academic Palace and head into King City.

As night fell.

Ling Chen arrived at a residence in the southern city district.

"Young Master Ling?"

Lord Zhang was very excited to see Ling Chen coming to visit.

During this period, he naturally heard some of Ling Chen’s exploits.

He planned to visit Ling Chen once he was free from his busy schedule.

After all, the current Ling Chen was completely different from before, much stronger than himself.

"Lord Zhang!"

Ling Chen gave a slight smile.

"Young Master Ling, please come in!"

Lord Zhang hastily invited Ling Chen inside.

The two took their seats.

"Young Master Ling, your fame has really resonated throughout King City recently. I had planned to visit you, but governmental duties kept me busy," Lord Zhang laughed.

"Lord Zhang, you flatter me," Ling Chen said with a smile and a wave of his hand.

"May I ask what brings Young Master Ling here?" Lord Zhang inquired.

Ling Chen’s sudden visit must have had a purpose.

"Indeed, there is something I need Lord Zhang’s help with!" Ling Chen grinned.

"Young Master Ling, please feel free!"

Lord Zhang nodded emphatically.

From the current situation, Ling Chen’s talents were undoubtedly closest to those of the Crown Prince. He had no connections to befriend the Crown Prince.

But befriending Ling Chen could be very beneficial for his future.

Now, as Ling Chen seemed to need something from him, it was the best time to forge a closer relationship.

"Great!"

Ling Chen nodded, his eyes suddenly chilling as a wave of Divine Soul Telekinesis blasted directly towards Lord Zhang.

The two sat opposite each other, only three feet apart.

At this distance, the Divine Soul Telekinesis almost instantly penetrated into Lord Zhang’s Sea of Consciousness.

"Boom!"

Lord Zhang’s Sea of Consciousness shook, and then he passed out.

Although Ling Chen’s Divine Soul was in the mid-stage of transformation, his Divine Soul Telekinesis surpassed the Divine Soul Realm by a level due to his possession of the Sunlight Holy Body, completely comparable to an exceptional high-level Divine Thought Master!

Moreover, Lord Zhang was utterly unguarded and naturally succumbed immediately.

"Nine-Star Seal!"

Ling Chen once again unleashed a wave of Divine Soul Telekinesis into Lord Zhang’s Sea of Consciousness, forming a Divine Soul Mark to control him.

"Have you ever heard of Ling Tianxing?" Ling Chen asked.

"I have not," Lord Zhang responded bluntly.

Ling Chen frowned slightly, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.

He had anticipated this outcome.

Though Lord Zhang was a Ghost King Guard, his rank was not among the top in the Ghost Guards. The top rank belonged to the Ghost Divine Guards.

It was said that Great Xia had nine Ghost Divine Guards.

Each one was a powerful expert at the peak of the Primordial Pill Realm!

"Do you know where the top-level Super Spiritual Bodies, the donors, are held in the Ghost Palace?"

Ling Chen asked.

Since Lord Zhang hadn’t even heard of Ling Tianxing, it was unlikely he knew about the Sacred Bodies. Therefore, Ling Chen inquired about the top-level Super Spiritual Body.

"I know; they are in the dungeons of the Ghost Palace," Lord Zhang said.

A flash of joy swept through Ling Chen’s eyes, "Can you take me there?"

If Zhang Yan is eligible to contact those donors, he might have a chance to see his father.

"Okay. The Ghost King Guards go in every day to inspect the condition of those donors."

Zhang Yan said.

"When do you go for inspections?"

Ling Chen asked excitedly.

"Three days later."

Zhang Yan replied.

"Good!"

A hint of joy surged on Ling Chen’s face.

Then, Ling Chen asked about some special physique transplantation matters.

It turns out, special physique transplantation is done by extracting the Source Energy from the body of the owner of the special physique, then using it to induce changes in the recipient’s body, creating a special physique.

This man-made special physique still has some differences from a genuine special physique.

Additionally, all man-made special physiques must periodically inhale some Source Energy from the same type of special physique donor to ensure that the induced special physique does not degenerate.

Therefore, many captured special physique donors are generally not killed.

Instead, their Source Energy is extracted periodically.

The Source Energy in these donors continuously regenerates.

However, with each extraction, the donor’s Source Energy weakens until it is depleted.

At that point, when the donor becomes useless, they will be executed.

A Spiritual Body owner generally has about ten years before their Source Energy is depleted.

As for a Super Spiritual Body, Top Tier Super Spiritual Body, or a Sacred Body, their Source Energy can last even longer.

"It seems, father should be temporarily safe!"

Ling Chen thought to himself.

Then, Ling Chen left.

In three days, he would come again and personally follow Zhang Yan into the Ghost Palace to investigate his father’s whereabouts.

After all, Zhang Yan was already under his Divine Soul control.

After leaving, Ling Chen found an inn to stay.

These three days, he could handle some other matters.

The next day, early morning.

Ling Chen appeared in front of the Jiang Family Mansion.

"Excuse me, please inform that I am looking for Elder Jiang Wuyan!"

Ling Chen said to the guard at the door.

Originally, Jiang Wuyan had attacked him, and he still held this grudge in his heart.

Additionally, considering the previous circumstances of the Jiang Family hiring the Moon Shadow Killer, Ling Chen naturally despised the Jiang Family.

However, he had no evidence.

To want trouble with the Jiang Family, naturally, he needed an excuse.

And Jiang Wuyan could provide just that opening.

"Young Master, please wait a moment!"

A guard hurriedly went inside to report.

Although Ling Chen’s reputation had risen lately, not many had actually seen Ling Chen.

And these two, were merely gatekeepers.

Naturally, they did not recognize him.

However, seeing that Ling Chen was dressed in the Academic Palace attire, the gatekeepers dared not offend him.

Inside the Jiang Family Mansion.

"What, an Academic Palace student is looking for me?"

A one-armed old man said in confusion.

It was Jiang Wuyan, whose arm had been destroyed by an arrow from Liu Qingcang.

"Yes."

The guard who came to report hurriedly spoke respectfully.

"What’s his name?"

Jiang Wuyan asked.

Their Jiang Family’s young master usually studied in the King City Academic Palace.

And if he was a young master of their Jiang Family, why would there be a need for notification?

"I don’t know."

The guard said tremblingly.

An Academic Palace student was not someone a cultivator of his level could afford to offend.

Moreover, that person’s cultivation was clearly higher than theirs.

"Useless!"

Jiang Wuyan glared fiercely at the guard.

"Never mind, I’ll go and see for myself."

Jiang Wuyan then went out.

Before long, Jiang Wuyan arrived at the gate and looked with suspicion at the Academic Palace student standing with hands behind his back.

"This Young Master, may I ask who you are?"

Jiang Wuyan smiled.

"Elder Jiang, long time no see!"

Ling Chen turned around, grinning at Jiang Wuyan.
