Sole Sword Supremacy-Chapter 564 - 568: Entering the Capital

Less than a month remained until Prince Yu’s royal wedding.

Wang Junze did not delay further and, after consulting with Jing Yuan and the others, set off directly for the Capital City.

Before leaving, Wang Junze actually thought about saying goodbye to Qu Lishang, but ultimately decided against it.

Firstly, because Qu Lishang was in closed-door cultivation, and secondly, Wang Junze did not want to involve Qu Lishang in this matter.

Since escaping from the Inverted Mountain, Qu Lishang had not mentioned visiting Eldest Princess Ningyu in the Capital City, and Wang Junze understood that it was probably inconvenient for Qu Lishang to enter the capital. In such a situation, Wang Junze naturally did not wish to trouble Qu Lishang.

Moreover, once Qu Lishang entered the capital, it would certainly arouse the vigilance of the Saint Realm powerhouses there, which might not necessarily be a good thing.

Unlike previous entries to the Capital City, this time, Wang Junze made no attempt to cover his tracks. Even before he reached the Capital City, news of Wang Junze’s arrival had already spread.

In an instant, all eyes were drawn to the Capital City.

Ten days later, Wang Junze officially entered the Capital City!

Now, Wang Junze had nothing to do with the Judgment Department, yet upon entering the Capital City, his first stop was still at the Judgment Department.

This time, however, it was not to report but to officially meet the Judgment Department as the Lord of the Nether Sea.

It was still the Fate Envoy, Yin Guangling, who was responsible for receiving Wang Junze.

"Nether Sea, Wang Junze, greets Lord Fate Envoy!"

Upon entering the room, Wang Junze did not put on any airs and immediately bowed to Yin Guangling.

"It’s been less than half a year since we last met, and you’ve already caused such a commotion."

With a smile, Yin Guangling gestured to the chair in front of them and softly said, "Sit."

"You’ve seen through me, but it was just a struggle to survive."

Sitting down as instructed, Wang Junze replied, "Though I’ve left the Judgment Department, I still remember the help you and the Judgment Department gave me. This visit is to express my gratitude to you."

"It was merely a transaction, not worthy of gratitude."

Yin Guangling replied flatly, "Moreover, you are here in the capital not just for pleasantries, are you?"

Hearing this, Wang Junze couldn’t help but smile wryly and said, "Nothing escapes you, sir. I’ll get straight to the point: I’m here for the marriage between Princess Changlin and Prince Yu."

Arching an eyebrow slightly, Yin Guangling replied nonchalantly, "The marriage of Prince Yu is a royal decree personally granted by Your Majesty. If you come to celebrate, you are welcome. But if you harbor other thoughts, I advise you to abandon them."

"You must be joking, sir. How could I dare defy the royal decree?"

Shaking his head, Wang Junze replied in a soft voice, "However, as they say, ’the weather is unpredictable, and misfortunes may strike at any moment’... As long as the wedding day hasn’t arrived, anything is possible, isn’t it?"

"Hmm?"

In an instant, a chill flickered in Yin Guangling’s eyes as he gazed coldly at Wang Junze.

"Rest assured, I have no such intentions."

Shrugging his shoulders, Wang Junze replied immediately, "With Lord Chief here, no one dares to cause trouble in the Capital City."

After a moment of silence, Yin Guangling responded blandly, "The capital has its own rules. Do not bring your Nether Sea ways here, or no one will be able to save you."

"I understand!"

Without hesitation, Wang Junze replied immediately, "By the way, I would like to meet Lord Chief again, is that..."

"Lord Chief is in closed-door cultivation and does not see outside visitors."

Before Wang Junze could finish speaking, Yin Guangling had already refused.

"In that case, I will take my leave."

Hearing this, Wang Junze immediately stood up.

"Remember my words!"

Without raising an eyelid, Yin Guangling spoke softly, then picked up the teacup on the table.

After leaving Yin Guangling, Wang Junze couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although Yin Guangling was not polite, he had implicitly indicated that the Judgment Department would not get involved in this matter.

Of course, the premise is that Wang Junze doesn’t do anything outrageous.

For Wang Junze, this was already sufficient.

"Brother, you’re back!"

Just having come out, Wang Xin had hurried over upon hearing the news, greeting him with a joyful expression.

"Come, let’s have a meal together!"

With a gentle smile, Wang Junze patted his sister’s head and spoke softly.

...

Fan Building!

Wang Junze directly booked the best private room, and as they sat down with Wang Xin, before the wine and dishes were fully served, Ni Gang arrived upon hearing the news.

As the local authority in the Capital City, Ni Gang’s information was faster than anyone else’s.

"Young Master Wang!"

With a slight bow, Ni Gang laughed heartily and said, "Long time no see, Young Master Wang, now renowned throughout the world. Allow me to offer you a toast as a gesture of admiration."

While speaking, Ni Gang had already lifted the jug on the table and, without waiting for Wang Junze to reply, tipped his head back and drank the entire jug.

"Master Ni, you’re too kind."

Following with a cup of wine, Wang Junze finally spoke, "I’m in the Capital this time and have many things to trouble Master Ni with. I wonder if Master Ni still considers me a friend?"

"Haha, you’re joking, Young Master. I’m just a rough man; how dare I claim to be your friend! However, I still remember my previous promise: wherever you need me, or the Cyan Robe Gang, Ni Gang will assist without a word!"

Ni Gang expressed his stance once again with a bow.

If, when Wang Junze last entered the Capital, he appeared somewhat weak, his return now was entirely different, giving Ni Gang more confidence and, naturally, a humbler demeanor.

"True friends understand each other, Brother Ni, as long as you recognize me, we are friends!"

With a soft smile, Wang Junze stood and returned the courtesy, earnestly replying.

This also warmed Ni Gang’s heart.

The dignitaries of the Capital looked down on lower-tier gangs like the Cyan Robe Gang and did not regard Ni Gang highly, but Wang Junze addressed him as a friend. Just this gesture moved him deeply.

"Rest assured, Young Master; I have always kept your instructions in mind," Ni Gang stated.

"Sit, please sit!"

With a smile, they both sat together, and Wang Junze continued, "Let’s not talk shop today. It’s been a long time since we met; let’s drink until we drop!"

Of course, Wang Junze trusted Ni Gang, but even so, he wouldn’t rashly reveal his purpose for entering the Capital. Moreover, Jing Yuan and Pei Haoran had also entered the Capital and needed to gather information through other channels to ultimately decide if Ni Gang and his Cyan Robe Gang were truly trustworthy.

Today, drinking and chatting, connecting over emotions, and casually inquiring about the recent situation in the Capital is already enough.

After a while, as the wine and dishes were fully served, Wang Junze and Ni Gang began drinking heartily. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

However, at the same time, news of Wang Junze’s arrival in the Capital had already spread throughout. Everyone concerned with Wang Junze was already on the lookout for his every movement.
