Chapter 157: Behind Chen Yan's Words

"Secretarial Xia, that is not what I meant!"

Ge Zhangyou spoke up in a hurry, as if a stone were blocking his heart.

"Not what you meant? Didn't you just say that Chen Yan is merely a Seven-Tier General Star?"

Xia Chiyi's expression was calm, her short, pitch-black hair fluttering in the wind:

"Even if he is only a Seven-Tier, that was written by the hand of the Sovereign. Xia Zhangguo said it himself: Chen Yan is a genius like a dragon.

Yet when it reaches you, it becomes 'merely'."

Xia Chiyi glanced at Shen Yiwei, only to see that the man, who looked extremely fatigued, showed no trace of a smile upon her arrival.

Xia Chiyi's Mu Jin darkened slightly, then she looked at Ge Zhangyou with even greater sharpness:

"Ge Zhangyou, why not come with me to Jinzhou to meet the Sovereign and ask exactly what this 'Seven-Tier General Star' is supposed to mean?"

Ge Zhangyou was instantly rendered speechless; he gritted his teeth.

Damn it!

Damn it!

Xia Chiyi had chosen the perfect time to arrive; he himself had no heart left to stay here.

He had intended to say a few good words for Chen Yan and then just get the hell out of there.

Xia Chiyi just had to come here and force him to play the villain.

"I, Ge Zhangyou, absolutely did not mean that!"

"You, Ge Zhangyou, only don't mean that because I arrived."

Xia Chiyi's Mu Jin was cold:

"If I hadn't come, you would likely have made a move against Chen Yan."

Ge Zhangyou's expression changed instantly:

"This is a misunderstanding!"

Xia Chiyi's Mu Jin was indifferent as she cast a sidelong glance at the youth who had Fell to Ground.

She was secretly horrified in her heart.

She had been watching the whole time, and she hadn't expected this Chen Yan to be so ruthless and decisive.

No wonder that even with the surname Chen, he was still so highly regarded by Shen Yiwei.

Moreover, hadn't he also independently created a True Intent method?

Useless?

"I will report today's events," Xia Chiyi said in a low voice.

Ge Zhangyou's face turned deathly pale.

He truly had grievances he could not voice.

At this moment, he could only lower his head, a great bitterness surfacing in his eyes.

Once a high and mighty big shot.

In the blink of an eye, he had become like this.

The crowd was incomparably shocked.

"And you lot, the Gong Family," Xia Chiyi said indifferently.

Gong Wu spoke up instantly:

"It was Chen Yan who came to my Gong Family to kill, my Gong Family..."

Beside him, Shen Yiwei said faintly:

"Regarding the Chu Family affair, your Gong Family has yet to clear its name.

Chen Yan coming here to kill is a matter between Chen Yan and others; if your Gong Family wishes to report it, you are free to do so."

Gong Wu's face turned livid.

Did he dare to report it?

If he were to report it, wouldn't he be admitting that the Gong Family was involved in the domestic affairs of the Five Clan Chen Family?

"My Gong Family knows nothing; it was just that Li Hou and my son Gong Tuo met a few days ago and came to visit."

At this moment, Gong Wu suddenly forced a smile:

"There was some conflict between Chen Yan and Li Hou, which my Gong Family was completely unaware of; today was also just... just a misunderstanding."

As Gong Wu's voice fell, the body of Gong Hangwen beside him stiffened.

He slowly looked toward the distance at Gong Tuo, who was covered in blood and lay on the ground with a face like dead ash.

At this moment, he felt a sense of relief.

Father had found a Scapegoat at the very first moment, and that Scapegoat was not him.

Human hearts are cold indeed.

In the distance, Gong Tuo, whose Bone was fractured and who could not even move, gave a bitter smile and said nothing.

He found it laughable; he had asked Chen Yan over and over if he could handle it.

In the end, it was him who was being handled.

This was his own father and his own Brother.

Xia Chiyi frowned, glanced at Gong Tuo, and let out a cold snort:

"How things actually happened still requires investigation; the more you say now, the more it looks like you are just defending yourself."

Gong Wu did not speak; the hundred-year-old Elder slowly closed his eyes.

Today could be called a total defeat.

Who knew that this Chen Yan had Xia Chiyi backing him?

It seems, it is not just Xia Chiyi.

Gong Wu slightly opened his eyes, and his Mu Guang trembled as he looked toward the horizon.

Yet he saw a figure standing in the clouds the whole time, looking toward him indifferently.

That is...

Yixian City, Lu Xiliang!

The situation developed too quickly, and the power balance between the two sides reversed in an instant.

The group of Heavenly Pride from the Gong Family all had their expressions change.

The impression Chen Yan gave them changed again in this instant.

Chen Yu let out a heavy sigh of relief.

Along the way, Brother has also gotten to know quite a few big figures and many friends.

She looked toward the Pavilion not far away.

On the balcony over there, several figures wearing military uniforms stood quietly.

They were all geniuses from the New Dragon Guard.

They all came for Brother.

A sense of pride could not help but emerge in Chen Yu's heart.

At the same time.

Aboard the Warship.

Chen Bo, who was still playing chess, and the Woman sitting opposite him had their expressions change.

"I..."

Chen Bo's expression became difficult:

"I really didn't expect that Chen Yan had such forces behind him!"

The black chess piece held between his two fingers could not be placed down; Chen Bo's Mu Jin flickered as he began to think about how this matter should develop.

Damn Li Hou.

The only thing to be glad about now is that Li Hou is dead.

Opposite him, that young Woman also had a sullen expression:

"To have to stir up this kind of thing before Min Di's Hundred Meridians, it really is..."

A fierce Color emerged in her eyes:

"Annoyance."

One Shen Yiwei is fine.

But Xia Chiyi has appeared, and this matter is not easy to handle.

If the Xia Clan wants to intervene, the Luo Chen will instantly be at a disadvantage.

"So, what do you want to do?"

An indifferent Elder voice suddenly resounded inside the cabin.

The young Woman and Chen Bo were both stunned for an instant and hurriedly looked at the seat to the side.

An Elder with a full head of white hair had appeared, though no one knew when.

"Chi Yi..., Chi Lao!"

Chen Bo Stood Up instantly, becoming terrified:

"Why are you also in Yunmeng City?"

He was very stunned, but he understood in an instant.

Shen Yiwei!

"Don't worry about what I'm doing here."

Chi Lao glanced at Chen Bo and the young Woman:

"Let's talk about this matter first; let's not consider the Five Clan Chen Family, nor the Xia Clan.

I will just ask..."

Chi Lao narrowed his eyes:

"Do you think Lu Xunyang is dead?"

Chen Bo opened his Mouth, his expression changing:

"He went to the Ancient God Forbidden Land, I fear..."

"But he is Lu Xunyang." A trace of annoyance emerged in Chi Lao's eyes:

"Even if I dislike that guy, I have to admit that he is the existence I have seen most likely to break through the Limit of the Flesh."

Chen Bo and the young Woman fell into Silence.

The arrival of Chi Lao was like a giant Stone smashing directly into their hearts.

Although Chi Lao was talking about Lu Xunyang.

But how could they not understand.

The arrival of Chi Lao was still because of that Youth named Chen Yan.

Herb!

How exactly did Li Hou seal Chen Yan?

Setting aside why Chen Yan possesses such strength.

But just regarding the big figures Chen Yan has gotten to know, before today, they only knew of one Shen Yi.

"What kind of person Lu Xunyang is, you also know clearly; he was able to go to the Ancient God Forbidden Land, on one hand, because he was forced."

On the other hand, this person is mentally ill; he does not believe the Ancient God Forbidden Land can do anything to him.

So..."

Chi Lao slowly looked at Chen Bo:

"Although Chen Yan cannot go head-to-head with your Lao Chen right now, you had better not resort to underhanded tactics.

Before Chen Yan achieves unity, once anyone surpassing the Origin Realm troubles Chen Yan, I will hold your Lao Chen responsible for all of it."

Chen Bo's complexion sank completely, and at this moment, he stared fixedly at Chi Lao:

"Are you threatening our Lao Chen?"

"Yes."

Chi Lao said calmly.

Chen Bo was speechless.

"What kind of people did I see back in the day? Lu Xunyang, the one who held the reins of the nation, Chi..."

Chi Lao stopped mid-sentence:

"Your Lao Chen has produced an Invincible Son; are you all a bit too excited?

If you have the ability, take this title of 'Invincible' before Lu Xunyang enters the Ancient God Forbidden Land."

Chi Lao's arrival instantly plunged the entire cabin into deathly silence.

Even Xia Chiyi, outside the Warship, was slightly surprised.

After looking at Chen Yan, his gaze locked onto Shen Yiwei.

Chi Lao...

He was actually in Yunmeng City as well.

It seems that even though that person from the Chi Family had such a falling out with Lu Xunyang, he is still helping Lu Xunyang.

Xia Chiyi's Mu Guang looked toward Gong Wu and Gong Hangwen.

Poor Gong Family.

As for above the ground.

That Youth stood quietly the entire time, not participating in the discussion between these people.

But that does not mean Chen Yan had no ears.

He was discerning.

And also pondering.

However, all around, the gazes cast toward Chen Yan had completely changed in meaning.

…………

Time flowed slowly by.

The next day.

Lao City.

Between the vast and boundless Heaven and Earth, one cold peak after another stood abruptly, like giant ice hairpins left behind by gods, piercing straight into the clouds.

Roar!

A low beast roar resounded through Heaven and Earth, stirring up endless waves of snow.

Hiss!!!

The sound of metal clashing rang out.

Chains driven into the mountain peaks swayed, shattering the heavy Ice Seal covering the peaks.

A giant beast, shaped like a Tiger and standing a full hundred meters tall, with a body white as snow, lay prone between the mountain peaks.

A pair of beastly pupils stared at the figures flying down from the sky, its Gaze like a torch, its pressure overbearing.

"I really don't understand why the Xia Imperial Clan would send this Ice Bi over."

Luo Puxin, wearing the uniform of the Martial Officer, stood in the void, his eyes meeting the Ice Bi's.

"I heard there was a trade; in recent years, Lao Chen's business has reached beyond Lao City."

Another person spoke, arms crossed, exclaiming:

"This Ice Bi's Dragon Transformation roar is about to ascend directly to the fifth rank."

Luo Puxin's complexion was dark; endless Cold Intent overflowed from the Ice Bi's body, and even the Yun Xu high above were frozen into Ice Crystal.
