C4436 Secret and Open Attacks!
Li Zhan said sternly.
“Yes, Your Highness, you can rest assured that we have already made arrangements,” Wu Gan replied.
“That’s right. I am very assured when you do things.”
Li Zhan thought for a moment, then said, “As for Purple Cloud City, I have already reached a verbal agreement with Marquis Zi Jin. We will not interfere with each other’s business. There should not be any major problems. However, Purple Cloud City’s strength has been expanding rapidly recently, which makes me uneasy.”
Wu Gan said, “Although that is the case, as long as Your Highness is here, Heavenly Battle City will be forever peaceful. We will be able to separate ourselves from Purple Cloud City. Purple Cloud City will not be able to interfere with Heavenly Battle City.”
“Mm, that’s reasonable. Right now, the one I am most worried about is Ol’ Three. He came here personally, so I’m afraid that he has no good intentions.”
Li Zhan said.
Wu Gan rolled his eyes and said, “You can rest assured, Your Highness. As long as Heavenly Battle City is not in chaos, no matter how capable Third Highness is, he will not be able to stir up any trouble.”
He had absolute confidence in Li Zhan’s strength.
Li Zhan shook his head and said, “I am not worried about Heavenly Battle City. I am worried about something else.”
“Something else? Your Highness is referring to the three great Fifth Border Families?” Wu Gan recalled and said.
Li Zhan said in a deep voice, “Yes. Back then, I was sent to Heavenly Battle City. My big brother even sent three of his subordinates to supervise me here. They claimed that they would guard the Fifth Border for generations and maintain peace. However, everyone in the dynasty knew that these three people were clearly here to supervise me. Haha, unfortunately, my big brother was not as good at divining as the heavens. He did not foresee that I would actually break through to the Immortal Realm, so he relaxed his supervision. Hmph.”
Even after thousands of years had passed, the old matters were still deeply engraved in Li Zhan’s heart, and he hated it to the point of itching.
Every time he thought about it, he felt extremely resentful, and the killing intent in his heart arose.
However, Wu Gan sneered and said, “Your Highness, you worry too much. Those three great clans aren’t all that tough. They’ve already lost their temper after so many years, and we’ve bought them over. We even have their weaknesses in our hands, so they wouldn’t dare to act recklessly.”
“Hehe, I hope so. If they’re tactful, then that would be for the best.”
Li Zhan’s eyes were gloomy as he spoke coldly.
At this moment, a figure walked out from the shadows in the distance. He flashed and arrived before Li Zhan and Wu Gan, and it was a middle aged man with a cold expression. His imposing aura was very heavy.
But even more strange was that the Third Prince and the others had actually not noticed him earlier, and this person had been hiding in the shadows and eavesdropping.
“Chen Quan, you heard everything earlier, right?” Li Zhan glanced at the other party and spoke indifferently.
It turned out that this person was actually Chen Quan. He was the Patriarch of the Chen Clan, one of the most powerful clans in the Unparalleled Dynasty. He’d been heavily injured by the experts of the Darkness Shrine when he was ambushed, and he’d luckily survived. But at this moment, he’d appeared in Battle Heavens City.
At the same time, he was the uncle of the current Seventh Prince of the Unparalleled Dynasty, Chen Fei’s older brother.
Chen Quan nodded with an expressionless face and said, “I heard it. Third Brother came rather quickly, and he actually only sent a divine decree before leaving? He didn’t force you, and it seems like he doesn’t walk the path of doing things.”
Thinking of this, Chen Quan frowned.
Li Zhan said nonchalantly, “It doesn’t matter. We’ll deal with it when the time comes. Third Brother won’t be able to cause any trouble. I’m most worried about the guy called Blood Rogue. He’s probably an immortal-level who has yet to transcend his tribulation. I don’t know where this guy came from, but if we don’t get rid of him, we’ll be in deep trouble.”
Chen Quan sneered. “I don’t know, but if anyone dares to block the way, kill them all. Leave no one alive.”
Li Zhan snorted. “That’s what I said, but this guy isn’t that easy to kill.”
Chen Quan’s face stiffened. “What? Your Royal Highness, you don’t trust me?”
Li Zhan frowned and was a little displeased. The other party’s tone was a little too arrogant.
Even he, who was confident in his strength and could easily control this person, wasn’t completely confident.
After all, if the other party didn’t want to fight and just wanted to escape, he wouldn’t be able to do anything to him.
Chen Quan’s tone was a little too arrogant.
Wu Gan saw that the atmosphere was a little off, so he interrupted and asked, “Clan Leader Chen Quan, is there any way to deal with that person?”
Li Zhan pricked up his ears and listened carefully, but he didn’t say anything.
Chen Quan chuckled and said rather complacently, “When that person attacked just now, he used a clear blood essence divine ability. It was a body-refining technique, and his physique was strong enough to take Li Haoran’s sword intent head-on. He’s a cultivator who is proficient in body-refining. The greatest weakness of such a cultivator is his soul. If he used a secret technique to attack the other party with his soul, he would definitely die.”
So this was the reason why Chen Quan was so confident.
“Oh, a soul attack?” Li Zhan was intrigued.
Chen Quan nodded proudly and said, “Yes, I have my ways. If I keep that immortal-level rank-3 expert named Blood Rogue alive, he will definitely be a disaster. Clearly, he is the helper that Ol’ Three brought. If I kill him, Ol’ Three will have no helper, and he will be able to intimidate Ol’ Three.”
“This…” Wu Gan was silent.
Li Zhan did not object to this. He only said, “Isn’t it too risky?”
“How can I not be risky? There are already some movements in Divine Capital. Ol’ Three has come personally. Do you really think that you can continue to delay? It’s been 200 years. Delaying for so long is almost the limit.”
Chen Quan said coldly.
Hearing that, Li Zhan understood. Since the arrow was already on the bow, he had to fire it. There were some things that needed to be done.
Finally, he made up his mind.
“Alright, I’ll leave this matter to you. If it succeeds, I’ll reward you.”
Li Zhan said in a deep voice.
“Thank you, Your Royal Highness. I’ll do my best to kill that person and clear the path for Your Royal Highness,” Chen Quan replied.
After saying that, Chen Quan turned around and left.
Looking at Chen Quan’s figure, Li Zhan was a little uncertain. At this moment, his heart was also wavering.
When Wu Gan saw that, he said worriedly, “Your Royal Highness, are you worried that if this matter is exposed, it will cause the rage of the Divine Emperor?”
“Yeah, my big brother is a person who kills without batting an eye. I was able to survive until now because I was able to live in a slum and was neglected by him. Now that he is about to die, it is the most dangerous time.”
Li Zhan let out a long sigh as he recalled some unpleasant memories.
Wu Gan’s face darkened as he said, “According to the scouts, the Divine Emperor has not appeared for more than 20 years. He is probably about to die. Right now, it is the best time for His Royal Highness to achieve something. If we miss this opportunity, there won’t be a next time.”
Li Zhan’s face was gloomy as he said, “Yeah, I know that time isn’t on our side.”
“Then what are you hesitating for, Your Royal Highness?”
“No, I am indecisive. We have already come this far and there is no turning back. Haha.”
Li Zhan laughed heartily and suddenly became clear-headed. He no longer hesitated.
