Han Mei, the true original owner, didn’t interact with Wei Chaoran. Chen

Luoyang’s clone, Daoist Banhai, could freely use the Wind Thunder Mystic Stone in his hand to trade with Wei Chaoran, while his true body didn’t need to come to the front of the stage.

At the moment, it was better for him to ensure that no one suspected the relationship between Daoist Banhai and Chen Luoyang’s main body.

As for splitting the Wind Thunder Mystical Stone into two, Chen Luoyang had only shown half of it to Wei Chaoran today. It wasn’t that Chen Luoyang was afraid that Wei Chaoran would renege on his debt or that he was worried that Wei Chaoran would have thoughts of snatching it on the spot.

The main reason was to give Wei Chaoran a sense of security and give him the impression that the Half-Sea Daoist was apprehensive.

Daoist Banhai was too mysterious, and he was also very resourceful when it came to Jie Xingmang’s whereabouts. It was easy for Wei Chaoran to feel apprehensive and act cautiously.

It wasn’t in line with Chen Luoyang’s expectations to scare him into retreating.

Now, he felt that he had some control over the situation, which was more beneficial for him to accept the deal.

Daoist Banhai smiled and immediately headed to the place where Jie Xingmang was being held.

When he reached the surrounding area, he deliberately alerted the enemy and made a scene to successfully attract the attention of the experts in the wilderness.

Chen Luoyang got Daoist Banhai to lure away the experts of the Wilderness. As for the remaining Wilderness experts, they saw that this place had been exposed and brought Jie Xingmang to change directions.

In the end, Wei Chaoran, the Great General Wei, was waiting for him.

After confirming that it wasn’t an ambush, he immediately acted decisively and intercepted these people from the Wilderness.

The experts of the Wilderness had all been lured away by Taoist Banhai, and the rest of them were not even worth mentioning to Wei Chaoran and his son. They didn’t need to take any risks and easily took Xie Xingmang away alive.

The positions of both sides instantly changed.

The people of the Eastern Zhou began to carefully conceal their tracks and tried to retreat from the Wilderness with Jie Xingmang.

A large number of savage experts surrounded them from all directions. The tribe leader who received the news was relativelv calm and did not rush over personally.

However, when he attacked the old sword immortal and the Crane Immortal, his strength had obviously increased, not giving them a chance to escape.

If he could get Jie Xingmang back, then so be it. If he couldn’t, then these two righteous path giants could forget about leaving the Wilderness.

However, the tribe leader was not worried about Xie Xingmang.

Wei Chaoran and the other experts of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, as well as the descendants of the Heavenly River lineage, were not having it easy.

When the Queen of the Wilderness received the news, she rushed over immediately.

In the Wilderness, it was extremely difficult for the people of Dongzhou and Tianhe to escape from the pursuers.

Time slowly passed.

Not only did the two sides not relax, but the flames of war became more and more intense, and it was difficult to resolve.

At the same time, there were other undercurrents surging in other parts of the mortal world.

The South Chu Empire had been quiet and low-key for the past half a year.

While the Chu Emperor was in seclusion, the Southern Chu people did not have any conflicts with the other factions. Instead, they continued to recuperate.

Although the division of the Western Qin had failed, the South Chu Dynasty had also gained a lot. Now, the entire South Chu was digesting these gains and strengthening itself.

Other than that, be it the decisive battle of the Heavenly River and Blood River, the Misery Sea, the Western Paradise, and the Green Bull Temple, or the internal strife of the Ancient Gods Clan, which had always been hostile to each other, or the recent turmoil in the Wilderness, the people of South Chu didn’t interfere at all.

As long as they were not bullied by others, there was no movement from South Chu. Everyone was quietly waiting for the Chu Emperor to come out of seclusion.

Currently, in the South Chu Imperial Capital, the eldest son of the emperor, Cheng Longyuan, was taking over the responsibility of managing the country and handling daily affairs.

The other imperial experts assisted the supervisor from the side.

“Old granduncle, the commotion between the Heavenly River and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is getting bigger and bigger. The war with the Wilderness has already begun to affect the southern border of our Great Chu.” In the main hall, Cheng Longyuan frowned slightly.

In front of him was an old man wearing a python robe. He looked like he was old and dying.

However, Cheng Longyuan did not dare to be rude in front of the other party.

Because this seemingly old and muddle-headed old man was the King of Qiantang of South Chu, Cheng Jiongting.

He was the most powerful person in South Chu after the Chu Emperor, Cheng Hui. He had lived for more than 600 years. He was the most senior old king in the royal family of South Chu and the strongest Martial Saint in South Chu. He was even stronger than the other top experts in South Chu who were also in the 18th realm.

Among the top ten Martial Saints of the mortal world, the Old King of South Chu, Cheng Jiongting, was ranked fifth.

While the Chu Emperor, Cheng Hui, was in seclusion, King Qiantang was the one who guarded the entire South Chu.

“What does Long Yuan think?” The old man seemed to be dozing off, but he was awakened by Cheng Longyuan’s words. After a moment of confusion, he slowly asked.

Cheng Longyuan pondered for a moment and replied, ” We still have to make our stance known. However, if we don’t go too far, let them cause trouble for now. The fiercer they cause trouble, the more stable our Great Chu will be. We just have to be wary of traps in the dark.

“Alright, we’ll do as you say, Long Yuan.” The old prince nodded slowly.

“Yes, I understand.” Cheng Longyuan hesitated for a moment before continuing,” Old granduncle, there is one more thing. Xian Tian Palace seems to have some strange movements recently, but we are unable to find out the details.

“What do you mean?” asked the old prince.

Xian Tian Palace was one of the five sacred grounds of the righteous path, and its geographical location was within the borders of the South Chu Empire.

No matter how much Southern Chu cared about the outside world, they would not ignore this huge creature on their own ground.

Even though Mister Tianji had fallen, and Xian Tian Palace had a huge internal conflict, they were still very strong.

While the Chu Emperor was in seclusion, the other people of the South Chu Empire did not dare to underestimate the Xian Tian Palace.

Cheng Longyuan said, ” Ever since the huge commotion in Xian Tian Palace half a year ago, the spies that we planted in Xian Tian Palace have all been wiped out. It has been difficult to buy some new pawns and we have only received very limited information. There are some masters in Xian Tian Palace who have not shown themselves for a while and their whereabouts are unknown. ‘

After the old prince heard this, his eyes closed slightly. It was unknown whether he was thinking or dozing off.

Cheng Longyuan stood at the side and waited quietly.

However, before the old king could speak, Cheng Longyuan waited for his subordinates to report other news.

“Cheng Ying Tian has come out of seclusion?” Cheng Longyuan’s expression remained unchanged, but his eyes flashed slightly.

The Marquis of Fengxiang, Cheng Yingtian, was a name that Cheng Longyuan couldn’t help but care about.

Just like how Wei Ling had an awkward relationship with the East Zhou Imperial Family in the East Zhou Empire, Cheng Ying Tian was in a similar situation in South Chu.

As a branch of the imperial family, he had suppressed the princes until they were so dim that they could not raise their heads.

He was slightly stronger than Wei Ling because he was a member of the royal family, so most people admired him more than they hated him.

However, this did not include the current eldest son of the emperor, Cheng Longyuan.

To be precise, all the direct descendants of the Chu Emperor, Cheng Hui, would not find Cheng Ying Tian pleasing to the eye.

Before this, apart from the Chu Emperor, Cheng Ying Tian had also gone into seclusion.

Many people had secretly sent spies to monitor Cheng Ying Tian’s secluded cultivation.

So now, Cheng Longyuan immediately received the news.

Cheng Longyuan couldn’t help but feel complicated when he heard that Cheng

Ying Tian had come out of seclusion.

“What’s the specific situation?” he asked slowly.

Before his subordinate could reply, the old prince Cheng Jiongting, who seemed to be dozing off, suddenly opened his eyes and looked outside the hall.

In that instant, it was as if a boundless sea of golden light exploded in the hall.

The overbearing aura almost suffocated Cheng Longyuan and the others.

Golden flames seemed to be dancing in the old king’s eyes.

At this moment, a figure appeared outside the main hall.

Before Cheng Longyuan could see the other party’s appearance, he saw that there were balls of golden flames surging in the other party’s left and right eye sockets, complementing the old king’s.

When the person walked into the hall, the Light Brilliance disappeared, revealing a handsome young man dressed in luxurious clothes.

It was Fengxiang Marquis Cheng Yingtian.

Cheng Ying Tian walked into the hall and greeted the old king and Cheng Longyuan.”Greetings, Great Uncle, Greetings, Great Prince.”

At this moment, the golden fire in the old king Cheng Jiongting’s eyes also disappeared, and he returned to his old appearance.

He squinted his eyes and looked at Cheng Ying Tian for a while, then said, “Ying

Tian seems to have gained a lot from his retreat this time around…” Cheng Longyuan’s heart immediately sank when he heard this.

Then, the old king continued, . From the looks of it, our Great Chu has gained another peak Martial Saint?”

“Great Uncle’s eyes are flawless. Thanks to the guidance of His Majesty and the other elders, I was lucky enough to overcome that obstacle,” Cheng Ying Tian replied.

The old king nodded. ” This is a joyous matter. We can announce it to the world. Great Chu will have one more person from now on. He can enter the top ten Martial Saints. ‘

“How dare you compare yourself to your granduncle?” “Ying Tian has just broken through. His foundation is still unstable. He needs more time to recuperate,” Cheng Ying Tian said hurriedly.

“Ying Tian is too humble. It is good that you have such a cautious heart, but there is no need to belittle yourself.” The old king spoke, ” Given your talent, it’s hard to say how you are compared to Xu Peng. However, you definitely won’t be weaker than Yanming of the western paradise. I believe that you will soon surpass him and me as well. ”

“I wouldn’t dare.” Cheng Ying Tian said.

Of the Red Dust Ten Heroes, two of them had made the first move.

Moreover, once they broke through to the eighteenth realm, they immediately became one of the top ten Martial Saints, and their names shook the world.

One of them was the Dragon King of the Blue Dragon Island, Xu Peng.

The other was the strongest expert among the younger generation in the buddha holy land of the western paradise in recent years,’Kindness Voyager’ Yan Ming. He was ranked tenth among the ten strongest Martial Saints of the mortal world at such a young age.

Although he was ranked last among the top ten Martial Saints, the people ranked before him, other than Xu Peng, were all peerless experts who had been famous for many years.

“I still need to ask Old Granduncle to give Ying Tian more guidance in the future.” Cheng Ying Tian said respectfully.

“I don’t dare to give advice to these old bones of mine.” The old king said, ” It’s a blessing for Great Chu to have you around. Go and rest first. Take good care of yourself and consolidate your foundation.

“Yes, Ying Tian will take his leave.” Cheng Ying Tian bid farewell to the Old Prince and Cheng Long Yuan before leaving the hall.

Cheng Longyuan, who had been silent, took a deep breath and turned to look at the old king.

Without waiting for the other party to speak, the old king spoke first, “It has been some time since he broke through. His cultivation has long been nurtured and stabilized..”
