Chapter 60: Greetings first.

By the time Chen Yan reached the Imperial Palace, the news had already spread throughout the entire Imperial City.

The arrival of one of the Chen Family's three High Lords was not something that could be kept quiet, especially when that High Lord had entered the city alongside the Second Princess and an Imperial Envoy while wearing torn robes and carrying visible injuries.

Numerous forces had already been alerted.

The major cultivation families that maintained representatives in the Imperial City had quickly received the news as well.

Several representatives who had been occupied with their own affairs immediately put aside whatever they had been doing and made their way toward the palace, hoping to understand why a High Lord of the Chen Family had suddenly appeared.

The streets surrounding the Imperial Palace were cleared before the group arrived.
