Chapter 419: The Grand Drama Begins!
Chen Qi was stunned; the words of the Clan Head Chen revealed a heaven-shaking secret.
But, Clan Head Chen still chose to save Chen Yan.
Clan Head Chen is wise.
Such a genius is a heaven-shaking bomb, but also a heaven-shaking treasure.
Since the other party is surnamed Chen, then it is possible for them to become a treasure.
"I understand," Chen Qi said.
"Mm," Clan Head Chen said:
"The Clan Head Lu has pressured that little Sovereign; the little Sovereign lacks the mettle and dares not protect Chen Yan. Now, the only ones who can make a move are our Chen Clan."
Chen Qi frowned:
"Has Xia Qi abandoned Chen Yan?"
He did not understand, yet he also understood.
That little Sovereign is too young and is nearing death; having finally brokered the marriage between the Lu Clan and the Xia Clan, this would be the biggest event before his death.
The appearance of Chen Yan disrupted the little Sovereign's plan.
The other party is worried that the Lu Clan will completely flip the table, so they abandoned Chen Yan.
There is another reason: Chen Yan is surnamed Chen.
Clan Head Chen said:
"The little Sovereign has not spoken and has not expressed any opinion, but has already indicated the Xia Clan's stance.
Currently, there is conflict with the Overseer of the Heavenly Observatory and the God General of Suppressing Peaks.
The God General of Suppressing Peaks even wants to bring out the Xia Sovereign Sword to hold Xia Qi accountable."
Chen Qi narrowed his eyes; it seems there are those in the Xia Clan willing to protect Chen Yan.
Isn't the Overseer of the Heavenly Observatory in seclusion?
They have come out too?
Because Chen Yan appeared.
And there is the God General of Suppressing Peaks; the other party is a good friend of Lu Xunyang and will certainly protect Chen Yan—this is not surprising.
It is just too overbearing.
Because of Chen Yan, they actually want to bring out the Xia Sovereign Sword to make Xia Qi bow his head?
"Did Xia Hanzhou not show himself?" Chen Qi asked.
"He did not appear; he has not appeared for a long time, and I do not know what he is doing," Clan Head Chen said; Xia Hanzhou is a terrifying opponent.
Many people are furiously denouncing Xia Hanzhou for forcing Lu Xunyang to go to the Forbidden Land of Ancient Gods.
But Clan Head Chen does not believe it; Lu Xunyang would absolutely never be forced to do something.
"Go and bring him back; I promised the Clan Head Lu that I would not intervene, so be careful in what you do."
Clan Head Chen said:
"Bring him back; the existence of the Path of Will is going to change the future world."
Chen Qi nodded; his figure flickered and vanished into the night sky.
…………
This night.
Many people were furious.
The commotion caused in Jin Province was even greater!
As the Sovereign, Xia Qi still did not reveal anything because of Chen Yan's outburst.
Even when facing the Clan Head Lu, he chose silence.
This move drew out many people.
The Overseer of the Heavenly Observatory.
The God General of Suppressing Peaks!
Because Xia Qi did not choose to protect Chen Yan—at least on the surface, Xia Qi abandoned Chen Yan for the sake of the marriage between the Xia and Lu clans tomorrow.
This made many people's hearts grow cold.
Even the roar of the God General of Suppressing Peaks reached outside the Sovereign's Mansion.
Xia Hanzhou did not show himself.
He knew that Xia Qi was still bearing the pressure.
Because there is only one last day left.
There is only one last day left.
In one day, Chen Yan will be appointed as a general, the Lu and Xia clans will marry, and the Tie Province will march.
There is only one last day left.
Those who ought to be kept in the dark must indeed be kept in the dark.
Including some people within the court, including the Overseer of the Heavenly Observatory and the God General of Suppressing Peaks.
Let those two be angry if they want.
The angrier they are, the more convincing it looks.
Xia Hanzhou's breathing was extremely rapid all night long.
He was still ruminating on that battle between Chen Yan and Lu Fusang; he was somewhat shocked.
The world was also shocked, which is why it caused such a massive wave.
And it was at this very moment.
The communication came through.
It was King Xiachen.
"King Xiayue, the opinion from the side of the State Controller..." King Xiachen spoke with some caution.
Xia Hanzhou frowned:
"I don't know, what are you trying to do?"
King Xiachen spoke:
"Nothing, is the State Controller really not planning to protect Chen Yan anymore?"
Xia Hanzhou's heart suddenly turned gloomy; he looked at King Xiachen:
"Xiachen, I am your royal uncle. I told you long ago that as a King of the Xia Clan, you cannot have too much contact with the outside world."
A chill emerged in Xia Hanzhou's heart.
He had given King Xiachen countless chances.
Even when Lu Xunyang almost blew the other's head off back then, it was he who pleaded for mercy.
But he discovered that he was wrong.
King Xiachen had ulterior motives; the other had helped the Aristocratic Family Alliance several times and had contacted spies from the Ji Clan several times.
Now, even Xia Hanzhou could not trust the other.
If trust collapses, it is very difficult to rebuild.
Even if the other is an Eighth Rank.
But does the Xia Clan lack Eighth Ranks?
What the Xia Clan lacks is an Eighth Rank who can turn the tide, not an Eighth Rank who already has ulterior motives.
"Royal Uncle, are you still not at ease with how I do things?" King Xiachen laughed, chatted for a while longer, and hung up the communication.
Inside the room, Xia Hanzhou's expression was cold; he clicked on the communication again.
From the other side came the sound of rapid breathing.
"You are very nervous, why is your face red?" Xia Hanzhou barked coldly.
"No, not at all!" Blood Sword Saint shook his head hurriedly:
"I am doing just fine!"
Xia Hanzhou's gaze softened.
No matter how muddled Blood Sword Saint might be, his heart was good; he possessed a heart of innocence.
The other was also a person of the Xia Clan, called a stupid pig by others since childhood.
Yet, in such an environment, Blood Sword grew into an Eighth Rank.
Not bad at all.
"I was too strict with you in the past, Blood Sword." Xia Hanzhou smiled.
On the other side, Blood Sword Saint was stunned.
Xia Hanzhou felt he had been too wrong; compared to King Xiachen, Blood Sword Saint was much better. He said softly:
"Carry out the plan; you can sweep the snow in front of your own door."
Blood Sword Saint was taken aback:
"It's not snowing."
Xia Hanzhou's expression darkened almost in an instant.
"The plan I told you about, did you forget it?!"
Blood Sword Saint's body trembled, and he hurriedly spoke:
"I remember!"
Xia Hanzhou nodded, took a look at the cautious Blood Sword Saint, and asked:
"What plan, tell me."
But he saw that Blood Sword Saint's body had stiffened; he stammered, and sweat was seeping out on his forehead.
"This... heh, it's just me pretending to be Chen Yan, hi, it's easy... um... later... hi, simple!"
Xia Hanzhou's brows lifted slightly, his expression stiffened, and the next instant he roared:
"Damn it!"
After a long while.
The communication ended.
Blood Sword Saint's body was drenched in sweat.
He took a deep breath, and the next moment his figure flickered, appearing in front of the door to Chen Yan's cultivation room.
A smile appeared on the corner of Blood Sword Saint's mouth.
He was going to step forward; Chen Yan would probably be extremely grateful when he saw him.
After all, he had been secretly protecting Chen Yan for a long time.
Blood Sword Saint knocked on the door of the cultivation room, then put his hands behind his back.
The door opened, and a nun appeared inside the cultivation room.
"Grand Master of Ceremonies, why is it you? Where is Chen Yan?"
The little nun Master of Ceremonies was stunned for a long while, and the next moment she hurriedly took out a notebook and began to write, reciting as she wrote:
"Blood Sword Saint's fourteenth crime: as Chen Yan's Dao protector, he doesn't even know when Chen Yan left.
I appeared in the cultivation room, and he is actually asking me..."
"Stop!" Blood Sword Saint spoke hurriedly, his face turning black.
So, it had been the Grand Minister of the Clan all along who was reporting me.
So, it had been you all along.
The Grand Minister of the Clan looked at the Blood Sword Saint:
"What did you go do just now?"
"I just went to buy a bottle of wine. Chen Yan bolstered our Xia Clan today, I was happy..."
The Grand Minister of the Clan continued to write:
"Blood Sword Saint's fifteenth offense, went to buy wine again today..."
The Blood Sword Saint's face turned completely black.
After a long while, he sighed softly.
The Grand Minister of the Clan had long since consulted with Chen Yan, and Chen Yan had left Xiaoyang City under the escort of the Little Minister of Fate.
After all, there was still a King Xia Chen within Xiaoyang City.
This was an Eighth Rank, and even the passage of the Celestial Pestle Tournament could not block King Xia Chen's perception.
Every part of the plan had long been finalized, only the Blood Sword Saint, the second executor, had arrived late.
The Blood Sword Saint's heart was bleeding; he felt he was done for.
After a while, the Blood Sword Saint's appearance changed, his aura changed, and he transformed into the likeness of Chen Yan.
He wore a black garment and, turning into a stream of light, rushed out of the Military Martial Guard and entered the Celestial Pestle Tournament.
In terms of the Martial Dao, the Blood Sword Saint almost never made mistakes.
This was a matter that gave even Xia Hanzhou an immense headache.
If you say he is stupid, his natural talent is ten thousand times better than Lu Xunyang's.
If you say he is smart, sometimes he cannot even remember the way.
At the same time.
Within the void, a pair of eyes opened.
"Such strong concealment ability!"
King Xia Chen narrowed his eyes; he had been waiting for the rabbit to strike the tree stump for a long time, and he himself had thought Chen Yan had already left.
It turned out he hadn't; he was only leaving now.
This kid is not stupid; he knew the Lu Clan had already issued a bounty, and he could not stay long in the Military Martial Guard.
The Lu Clan's bounty was terrifying: ten Sun-Level precious medicines.
Ten of them!
An Eighth Rank was only worth this much.
The Lu Clan had given enough face; even an Eighth Rank would come to kill Chen Yan.
Therefore, Chen Yan could only flee.
And what the Lu Clan gave King Xia Chen was even more!
Because now, King Xia Chen was the strongest person in Xiaoyang City.
The Lu Clan was also worried that the Chen Clan would send someone to protect Chen Yan.
A smile appeared at the corner of King Xia Chen's mouth:
"Peerless genius, you cannot blame me; you can only blame that Little State-Governor for having no eye for talent, you can only blame him."
He even thought Xia Qi was an idiot.
But he would not remind Xia Qi; he would only go with the flow to seek the greatest opportunity for himself.
As for status?
He did not care; whatever King of the Xia Clan or not, those who live in Jin Province are the true Kings of the Xia Clan.
King Xia Chen followed Chen Yan's aura, tracking him continuously.
He kept perceiving until Chen Yan left Xiaoyang.
He reached out with one hand, using a powerful pressure to suppress Chen Yan.
In an instant, that Chen Yan's body was frozen in the void.
And at this very moment.
Boom!
In the sky.
A powerful blade shadow struck in an instant!
This blade shadow split the sky and covered the earth, filled with dominance.
In an instant, all of Xiaoyang City was alarmed.
The Star General faction all looked toward this direction together.
It was Chen Musheng, who had struck from a great distance away.
He had sensed Chen Yan's aura, so he had been tracking him.
But he had not expected that King Xia Chen, a dignified King of the Xia Clan, would actually make a move against Chen Yan.
King Xia Chen's expression turned cold:
"Damn it!"
He growled, crushing the blade light with one hand.
The next moment, with a boom.
He reached out with one hand, forming a giant hand in the sky, and grabbed Chen Yan into his palm.
This scene was earth-shattering.
In an instant.
The General Stars outside Xiaoyang City saw it, and the Military Guards inside Xiaoyang City saw it.
The one grabbed by the blood hand was Chen Yan.
"King Xiachen, you are seizing a heaven-gifted talent of the Chen Clan; what are you trying to do?!"
Chen Musheng roared.
"King Xiachen, you are courting death!!!"
Jidao Wu roared in fury, already rushing toward this side with Li Muyun and the others.
"Let him go!" Zong Heng roared.
King Xiachen's eyes were turning red; he had been discovered.
He had been discovered in broad daylight as the one who had snatched Chen Yan away.
It was all Chen Musheng's fault.
Chen Yan currently possessed great prestige.
Although he craved the fortuitous encounter, he did not want the world to know.
It was all Chen Musheng's fault!
King Xiachen gritted his teeth, thinking in an instant.
In any case, the Xia Clan had long since abandoned Chen Yan, and now Chen Yan was a hot commodity!
Thinking of this, he stopped lingering, and the next moment his figure flickered and vanished directly.
In his hand, the Blood Sword Saint, disguised as Chen Yan, had a violent look in his eyes; he was wondering when he should strike.
King Xiachen was, logically speaking, the grandson of his grandfather's younger brother's cousin.
He was his relative.
Forget it, it's not like he hadn't killed relatives before.
Let it be.
Behind.
"Damn it!!!"
Chen Musheng roared.
He was only at the Seventh Rank, so how could he catch up to King Xiachen, an Eighth Rank expert?
Jidao Wu roared in fury, Zong Heng roared in fury, and Tan Yishi bellowed.
All of Xiaoyang City was in terror.
Chen Yan had been abducted by King Xiachen!
This was the invincible heaven-gifted talent who had just killed Lu Fusang in seconds; how could the Xia Clan do this?
"King Xiachen, you are making yourself an enemy of the whole world!!!"
Jidao Wu roared, his eyes bloodshot, and at the same time, he sent a voice transmission to the furious Zong Heng beside him:
"My acting is not bad, right?"
"Xiachen, I will destroy you!!!" Zong Heng roared, sending a voice transmission:
"Continue!"
Tan Yishi narrowed his eyes; he wanted to cry to death.
Originally, this play was meant to be performed for the spies of the Ji Tribe.
Because they had learned through an unknown channel that an Eighth Rank expert from the Ji Tribe hiding in the Great Xia was about to strike.
Chen Yan was destined to be snatched away.
But they had not expected that the one who struck was not a Ji Tribe spy, but King Xiachen.
This man was crazy.
The Xia Clan was acting, but he was coming for real.
And he acted so decisively, so righteously.
Tan Yishi really wanted to cry to death.
PS: Stop scolding, brothers, I'm truly scared; I really can't finish writing it in a short while.
It's not that I'm trying to get stuck on the plot.
It's not that I'm intentionally writing less.
It's just that with this book of mine, Dongzi, currently being read, I must write another one simultaneously, otherwise I don't even know if I'll be able to afford the New Year.
Plus, learning cannot be interrupted.
As for getting stuck on the plot, I don't know; I haven't practiced it, but readers of every book are blasting me because of this.
I don't know if you blast every book, or if I'm just particularly bad at getting stuck.
If it's my fault, then maybe it's a talent... damn, I don't know why either.
I'm not doing it on purpose.
If I'm stuck, then as I said before, you can let the book accumulate chapters.
In the future, there will be fewer PSs; sorry about this time, this will be the last PS.
End of Chapter
