Chen Lei quickly arrived at the City Lord's Mansion and met Jin Qingtian.
Jin Qingtian had already been waiting in the hall. When he saw Chen Lei coming, he said directly without any courtesy: "Chen Lei, I want you to come here today because of something. The Holy Emperor has a secret decree for you."
Chen Lei asked: "Really? Where is it?"
Jin Qingtian handed a jade talisman to Chen Lei and said, "The jade talisman contains the secret decree of the Holy Emperor. I don't know what is inside. I only know that the Holy Emperor used a channel that he never uses easily to send it. It is obvious that the matter inside is very important. There is also a token, the Holy Emperor's Order, which is also for you."
Chen Lei nodded, took the jade talisman and the Holy Emperor Order, and said, "Thank you, City Lord."
Then, Chen Lei injected his spiritual consciousness into the jade talisman, and immediately, the Holy Emperor's spiritual consciousness was transmitted from the jade talisman.
After the Holy Emperor's divine consciousness entered Chen Lei's sea of consciousness, it spoke directly, "Boy, go back to Eternal City and take charge of the situation. I have some health problems and cannot take charge of affairs. Now I let you take charge of the situation on my behalf. The answers to all questions can be found in the imperial edict of the Golden Palace." After saying that, the Holy Emperor's divine consciousness disappeared.
"What?" Chen Lei was depressed. Before he could say a word, the Holy Emperor's divine consciousness image disappeared just like that. He still had many questions to ask.
However, since the Holy Emperor could leave such an anxious and brief secret message, it was obvious that there was something seriously wrong with his health.
"Chen Lei, is there anything wrong?" Jin Qingtian saw Chen Lei's expression was grim after he knew the secret decree of the Holy Emperor, and asked hurriedly. Then, Jin Qingtian added: "If it is inconvenient, you don't have to tell me."
Chen Lei waved his hand and said, "Lord Jin, there is nothing inconvenient to say. The Holy Emperor is indeed in trouble. Let me go back and take charge of the situation."
Chen Lei could still trust Jin Qingtian. This strong man was loyal to the Holy Emperor, and Chen Lei had saved White Tiger City before. Therefore, there was nothing to hide.
After listening to Chen Lei's words, Jin Qingtian showed a worried look and said, "It seems that the Saint Emperor is really in trouble. What are you going to do? Now in Wangu City, I am afraid it is even more dangerous, and the wind and clouds are gathering."
Chen Lei said: "No matter what, I have to go back."
The Holy Emperor asked Chen Lei to become the Prince of the Central Region, and the future position of the Holy Emperor would be inherited by Chen Lei. Although Chen Lei did not covet the position of the Holy Emperor, since he had promised the Holy Emperor, he had to do his best to ensure that the position of the Holy Emperor would not be taken away by anyone else.
Jin Qingtian nodded and said, "Chen Lei, is there anything else I can do?"
Chen Lei said: "No, the location of White Tiger City is very important, you just need to guard White Tiger City well, but I have a condition, I hope the city lord can agree to it."
Jin Qingtian said: "What conditions are you asking for? Just tell me. As long as I can do it, I will never refuse."
Chen Lei said: "City Lord, I want to take away 500 warriors, the 500 strong men who use the spiritual treasures."
Jin Qingtian said: "Okay, no problem, you can take these soldiers away anytime."
After hearing Chen Lei's condition, Jin Qingtian agreed without any hesitation.
