The heavens had taken pity on them. Hearing the Chu Emperor Cheng Hui’s voice, everyone from the South Chu Empire heaved a sigh of relief.
Jiang Yi of the Ancient Gods Clan, Ji Tianqiong of the Black Water Absolute Palace, and the Abbey Dean of the Green Bull Temple were all in closed-door cultivation in na. However, when a powerful enemy ca to their doorstep, they were nowhere to be found.
It wasn’t that such a thing had never happened in the past, but Jiang Yi and the others had disappeared without a word to any of their disciples or subordinates, keeping everyone in the dark. When everyone found out the truth, they were completely caught off guard.
The Ancient Gods Clan, Black Water Absolute Palace, and Green Bull Monastery were all tricked until they vomited blood. Other than the Ancient Gods Clan having Chen Luoyang appear out of nowhere to salvage the situation, the Black Water Absolute Palace and Green Bull Monastery were also in great trouble.
It was fine if it was one or two, but there were consecutive big shots playing this trick. This made the South Chu Empire, whose big shots were also in seclusion, feel uneasy.
Now that the Chu Emperor was in seclusion, the people of South Chu might not be cheering and celebrating, but at least they could eliminate the uneasiness in their hearts.
Of course, it was far from reassuring.
After all, Chen Luoyang had single-handedly killed King Fuyao, Han Shang, who was on par with the Chu Emperor.
Perhaps this was due to the fact that the Han rchants had yet to recover from their old injuries in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. However, the problem was that Chen Luoyang had killed the Han rchants without suffering any injuries. This was shocking.
It wasn’t to boost the enemy’s morale and diminish their own prestige, but as for whether the Chu Emperor, Cheng Hui, would be able to resist the most brutal Martial Saint in history, everyone was uncertain.
Chen Luoyang had Emperor Xi’s ancient formation in his hands, which forced the Chu Emperor to face the battle head-on. Furthermore, he couldn’t use the protective formation of the royal capital, Anyuan City, unless the Chu Emperor was willing to destroy Anyuan City.
The hopes of the Southern Chu side were originally placed on the results of the Chu Emperor’s seclusion this ti.
If the Chu Emperor, Cheng Hui, could take a step forward and oversee the
Anyuan City’s grand array, he might be able to try to wrestle with Chen Luoyang’s Emperor Xi’s ancient array. However, he wouldn’t be confident enough. At the very least, he would have more confidence.
But now, His Majesty was forced to break out of seclusion ahead of ti. This last hope was also shattered.
Chen was truly vicious. He chose the right timing to make South Chu uncomfortable.
Right now, they could only place their hopes on the other factions of the world of mortals. As Chen Luoyang’s actions were too big, they were all wary and could unite to punish him.
If he wanted to communicate with the other magnates, he would need the Chu Emperor to step forward.
Even if they joined forces, South Chu couldn’t stay out of it, and they had to be on the front lines.
Without the Chu Emperor taking the lead, how could the other big shots easily help South Chu to block the disaster?
“We are afraid to disturb Father’s seclusion, but the situation is urgent and we have no choice. Father, please allow to report…” The eldest son, Cheng
Longyuan, knelt outside the cave abode and reported the frenzy that Chen Luoyang had stirred up in the mortal world to the Chu Emperor, Cheng Hui.
After Cheng Longyuan reported, the old prince Cheng Jiongting said with a trembling voice, “”Your Majesty, please make a decision.”
After a mont of silence, the voice of the Chu Emperor, Cheng Hui, rang out,
Contact the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the Heavenly River, and the Crane
Immortal in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. At the sa ti, contact the Wildlands ‘Sleeping Dragon Sand and urge him to co out of seclusion early to discuss this matter. ‘
Most of the seven demonic sacred lands had already submitted to Chen Luoyang. Even if Misery, Azure Dragon Island, and Hibiscus Island were dissatisfied, they wouldn’t imdiately turn against Chen Luoyang. Instead, they would observe the situation first.
The forces that were most likely to beco allies of the South Chu Dynasty were actually their two great enemies, the north and south.
The East Zhou Empire and the Wilderness.
In particular, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty had Empress Xu Ruotong, the
Heavenly River Sword Immortal, and the Crane Immortal, Li Hushuang.
And the Manhuang Tribe Leader had just beco enemies with Chen Luoyang and the Ancient Gods Clan not long ago.
As soone who had personally experienced Emperor Xi’s ancient formation, his experience in this aspect was also very important.
‘ Zhang Weiyu has been in seclusion for many years and has not made any movents at the Heavenly Lake. However, we have to inform him. ” The Chu Emperor continued to instruct.
Zhang Tong, the general of the hussars of South Chu, said respectfully, “”We will imdiately inform the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the Wilderness, the Heavenly River, and the Heavenly Lake in the extre north. However, this matter is of great importance. I’m afraid we still need to trouble Your Majesty…”
The Chu Emperor said, ” Chen Luoyang will be in Anyuan City for close to a month. I have reached a crucial point in my cultivation. I will need a little more ti to complete my cultivation.
When the ti cos, I will completely break out of seclusion and personally head to the Eastern Zhou to et Elder Yun, Xu Ruotong, and the others. I will officially discuss the matter of facing Chen Luoyang.
You all communicate with him first and make preparations. Don’t disturb during this period.”
When the people of South Chu heard this, they were pleasantly surprised.
“Yes, Your Majesty.” Everyone bowed.
However, at this mont, the old king Cheng Jiongting, who had always looked like a doddering dragon, suddenly flashed and rushed into the cave abode.
Everyone was stunned on the spot.
Great General Zhang Tong was first stunned, then his expression changed. He followed behind the old king and rushed into the Chu Emperor’s seclusion grounds.
When the others saw this, they ca back to their senses. An ominous premonition rose in their hearts. They could not care less and hurriedly followed him in.
However, when they entered the cave abode, they were all dumbfounded.
The skinny old king raised a burly man with one hand. General Zhang Tong stood at the side with a dark expression.
Other than the three of them, there was no one else in the cave. Where was the Chu Emperor Cheng Hui?
Cheng Longyuan’s hands and feet were cold. He glared at the burly man who was captured by the old king and shouted angrily,”Gao Xuan, how dare you pretend to be the heavens ‘might? Where’s Imperial Father?”
Everyone present recognized the burly man. He was one of the generals of South Chu, a trusted aide of the Chu Emperor, and one of the generals who commanded the imperial guards.
But from the looks of it, he was the one pretending to be the Chu Emperor and conversing with everyone?
“Old Prince, please calm down. Your Highness, please calm down. Great General, please calm down.” Gao Xuan replied with a bitter face, ” I am also acting on His Majesty’s orders. How would I dare to deceive the Emperor and commit sucn a treasonous act’ ”
The old prince Cheng Jiongting did not put him down. Instead, he asked in a deep voice, “Your Majesty, where did you go? What exactly happened?”
The old man’s usual lethargic appearance was gone. He was like a volcano that could erupt at any mont. His aura was terrifying, and the golden light in his eyes kept flashing.
On the other hand, the old man had cald down. The golden sea of fire enveloped the cave abode and surrounded everyone inside. It was obvious that it was to prevent information from leaking out.
Faced with the question, the High Scholar hesitated slightly.
Great General Zhang Tong sighed. ” It’s good that you’re loyal to His Majesty and do your duty. However, the situation is urgent now. Let’s think about it together. If you hide anything again, it will be disadvantageous to our Great Chu. If His Majesty blas you in the future, I’ll bear the responsibility together with you.
Gao Xuan was helpless. ” I really don’t know where Your Majesty has gone. It’s just that Your Majesty instructed two days ago that if anyone disturbed Your Majesty’s seclusion, I would temporarily deal with them. I have Your Majesty’s personal edict here as proof. If it wasn’t for Your Majesty’s personal edict, how could I hide it from you? It’s just that the old prince’s eyes are like torches, and he still saw through this matter.”
The Southern Chu people looked at each other, and for a mont, they felt as if the world was spinning.
Nothing, nothing…
His boss had actually gone into seclusion!
All of you discussed this together, right?
The old prince Cheng Jiongting looked at the imperial edict left behind by the Chu Emperor without saying a word. After a long while, he sighed.”lt’s indeed His Majesty’s doing.”
He returned to his old and decrepit appearance, as if he could be buried at any mont, and waved his hand weakly.
Zhang Tong, Cheng Longyuan, and the others took the edict from him and browsed through it. Gao Xuan put it down and heaved a sigh of relief.
The contents of the edict weren’t anything special. It only instructed the High Selection to keep it a secret and act according to their own discretion. At the sa ti, it instructed them to contact the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the Heavenly River, the Wilderness, and Fusang Island after Chen Luoyang swept through the Black Water Absolute Palace and Mount Yanran.
Your Majesty, you don’t know that Fusang Island is already leaning toward Chen Luoyang and that Chen Luoyang is coming to Anyuan City? ” Great General Zhang Tong asked.
” I can’t contact Your Majesty at the mont, so I can’t send a ssage.
However, Your Majesty once said that after Chen Luoyang takes down Mount
Yanran, his next target is likely to be the Wilderness, Fusang Island, or our Great Chu. We need to be on high alert. He will return after a few days. ” Gao Xuan replied.
The old prince, Cheng Jiongting, waved his hand weakly.”When exactly did Your Majesty co out of seclusion, and why did you keep it a secret? Tell the ins and outs of the matter in detail from the beginning.”
Since they had already started, the High Scholar no longer hesitated.”Old Prince, His Majesty summoned in secret about a month ago and ordered to find soone. It’s Han i, who has the na of ‘Crimson Asura’ in the mortal world.
His Majesty did not say the specific reason, so I did not dare to ask. I could only order people to secretly investigate. Finally, I found out about Han i’s whereabouts recently, so I reported it to His Majesty.
At the sa ti, I will also report the major events that have happened in the mortal world to Your Majesty. However, Chen Luoyang suddenly challenged Your Majesty after Your Majesty left, so I didn’t have ti to report it. After Your Majesty left a handwritten edict, he left and said that he would return in a few days. However, I really don’t know the exact situation and whereabouts.”
The people of South Chu looked at each other, their heads full of question marks.
What the hell?
What did it have to do with Chi Xiuluo?
Even if they had never seen Red Asura Han i before, they had at least heard of her na.
At such a young age, he had transcended the mortal world and entered the divine realm. He was now a famous rising star in the mortal world.
Last year, in the Yongyue Mountain Range of West Qin, the Misery Sea had spread the news that Han i was the younger sister of Han Zheng, the Jade Dragon, the direct descendant of Blue Dragon Island.
She was also involved in the theft of a large number of Heavenly Velvet Stone Brocade in Southern Chu. Therefore, Southern Chu had been looking for her for a long ti, but they could not pinpoint her exact whereabouts.
This ti, they had finally locked onto a rough range, but there was no need for the Chu Emperor to personally co out, right?
“Why is Your Majesty looking for that little girl surnad Han?” Great General Zhang Tong asked.
“It seems to be related to the Withered Heart Stone. His Majesty first ordered to find this treasure. Later, there were rumors that Han i had this treasure, so His Majesty ordered us to find Han i’s whereabouts.” Gao Xuan answered honestly.
However, everyone was still at a loss.
The Heart-Withering Stone was also a rare treasure, but it was mainly rare. It didn’t have many uses. At least, the South Chu royal family didn’t use it during their cultivation.
” Could it be that Father will need this Heart Withering Stone during his seclusion? ” Cheng Longyuan frowned.
” Continue to keep an eye on Han i. We can’t just focus on the general area.
We must find her and contact His Majesty. ” Zhang Tong said decisively..
