Chapter 843: Among the people of Great Xia, there are good people

The little girl and Chen Yan have always shared the same qualities.

That is, stubbornness and caring too much for their family.

For instance, in the past, after Chen Yu learned that Luo Chen had been blockading the Yunmeng Chen Clan, she did not choose to tell Chen Yan at the first opportunity, but instead intended to shoulder it herself.

Upon learning that the Gong family was targeting Chen Yan, she actually chose to go undercover in the Gong family under the identity of Wen Xin.

At that time, Chen Yu was only fifteen years old.

Chen Yan was initially helpless in his heart.

It was not until Chen Yu told Chen Yan that pursuing her brother was her own martial path.

Therefore, Chen Yan later chose to respect Chen Yu and brought her into the Five Clans Dispute.

Chen Yu also did everything she could for Chen Yan's safety.

She even endured her physical body being completely corroded by malice just to complete the task Chen Yan had entrusted to her.

Chen Yu is a younger sister who makes Chen Yan worry, yet has never disappointed him.

However, as an older brother, he still worries about his younger sister's safety.

"That's right, Xiaoyu is a bit too monstrous.

In front of monsters like you, Lu Xunyang can only bow his head and act as a little brother," Xia Hanzhou laughed.

"How are his injuries?" Li Zhiyi asked.

Xia Hanzhou narrowed his eyes:

"According to his own words, after entering the third realm of the Path of Will, he still needs more than two months.

He is recovering using the very foundation of my Xia Clan.

If not for the resources provided by the Xia Clan, he might need a year to recover."

The methods of the Chen Lord are still too terrifying.

This was the first time Xia Hanzhou had seen Lu Xunyang get injured to the point where his foundation nearly collapsed during a battle with a powerful enemy.

If it weren't for Li Zhiyi creating the third realm of the Path of Will.

Lu Xunyang naturally entered the realm-breaking stage, and the recovery intensity of the Immortal Will was even greater, which is why he could significantly shorten the time for recuperation.

"But for now, he still cannot fight."

Xia Hanzhou shook his head slightly:

"The Black Dragon King dares to establish a state within a state inside our Great Xia precisely because of this."

Li Zhiyi narrowed his eyes.

In Qi Province, at the Qilong River, an eighth-rank ancient divine beast has established a state within a state.

During this period, almost the entire Qi Province has fallen.

Great Xia is now facing absolute internal trouble and external aggression.

"Perhaps, there are also five ancient divine beasts waiting in Qi Province," a cold light appeared in Li Zhiyi's eyes.

"If there were no five ancient divine beasts, how would a single eighth-rank ancient divine beast dare to do this?!" Xia Hanzhou said coldly.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room solidified.

"I will lead troops to handle the matter at Qilong River; as for the front line, I will leave it to you."

Li Zhiyi, dressed in red, looked at Xia Hanzhou and said.

"Only you can go," Xia Hanzhou sighed softly:

"As for the front line here, with Zhang Xing present, it can be held."

"Zhang Xing..."

Li Zhiyi nodded in contemplation, his eyes waveless, leaving only bone-chilling calmness:

"This person is not trustworthy and needs to be guarded against."

"I know," Xia Hanzhou nodded:

"It's just that this person is indeed currently of help to our Great Xia."

Li Zhiyi lowered his eyes in thought, his brows cold and sharp, and nodded.

"By the way," Xia Hanzhou continued:

"The Heavenly God Armor and the Ember Evil Spear have been inside the Xia Lord Temple receiving the cleansing of the Xia Clan's Dragon Pool.

That Zhang Xing is quite covetous of these two divine artifacts."

"The Heavenly God Armor and the Ember Evil Spear are my personal belongings; others cannot use them even if they want to."

Li Zhiyi laughed:

"If there is a need, I will summon them directly."

Li Zhiyi paused:

"That Zhang Xing is not easy to control; he must be kept on a leash. Give him whatever he wants for now."

Xia Hanzhou nodded:

"That goes without saying. I have already sent Jiang Yuan to get close to him. Jiang Yuan is smart and knows what to do."

Li Zhiyi nodded and prepared to leave the room.

"Don't be in such a rush to leave," Xia Hanzhou hurriedly called out:

"Give me that cognitive-altering technique one more time; I will definitely enter the Path of Will today."

Li Zhiyi was speechless.

As the Xia Moon King of Great Xia, Xia Hanzhou has never entered the Path of Will.

Even when Li Zhiyi previously used 【Royal Decay - Holy Will Delusion】 to make Xia Hanzhou suffer, Xia Hanzhou still did not enter the Path of Will.

"Are you sure?" Li Zhiyi asked.

"Naturally!" Xia Hanzhou gritted his teeth:

"Right now, within the Eighth Rank of Great Xia, I am the only one who hasn't entered the Path of Will. What kind of decorum is this!"

Even if it is just entering the first realm of the Path of Will, the Speech Realm.

It would directly grant a twofold increase in combat power; this point is far too tempting.

Xia Hanzhou's face was full of seriousness at this moment, already prepared to give it another shot.

"Open your mouth," Li Zhiyi said directly.

"Huh?" Xia Hanzhou was stunned.

The next moment.

Li Zhiyi flicked his hand, and a peak Seventh Rank Malice Crystal was thrown directly into Xia Hanzhou's mouth by him.

With a gulp, he swallowed it.

Xia Hanzhou's expression changed instantly.

Boom!

Terrifying malice exploded from within the room.

"Holy shit!"

Xia Hanzhou's expression changed drastically:

"Save me!!!"

Boom, boom, boom!

In an instant.

Above Xiaoyang, pillars of blood-Qi light erupted, and figures with powerful auras appeared.

Everyone looked toward where Xia Hanzhou was.

"Forget it, it's nothing, everyone go back," the Grand Minister draped in white robes glanced over and waved his hand.

"I think... I think he's going to die," the Blood Sword Saint said.

The Little Fate Master glanced at the Blood Sword Saint:

"He scolds you every day; if he dies, aren't you happy?"

The Blood Sword Saint was stunned:

"Why is what you said so... correct!"

"Heh." The Director of the Astronomical Bureau, holding his large belly, sneered:

"Back then, he forced me to swallow a Malice Crystal; he was so self-righteous at the time. In my opinion...

He deserves it!"

Above the void, the Zhang family's Eighth Rank, Zhang Wang, watched this scene, completely dumbfounded.

"King Xiayue has been assassinated, you... you..."

Zhang Wang didn't understand at all.

Xia Hanzhou clearly had such terrifying malice erupting within his body; this was about to turn into an Ancient Divine Beast.

Why were the Grand Minister and these people acting like nothing happened?

"Small situation, don't mind it. If he dies, we'll just pick another King Xiayue," the God General of Suppressing Peaks said with a smile, patting Zhang Wang on the shoulder:

"Secretly telling you, I also have the surname Xia."

Zhang Wang turned his head, saw the God General of Suppressing Peaks' innocent smile, and shivered.

Xia Yuan arrived, saw Xia Hanzhou at this moment, then shifted his gaze to Li Zhiyi beside Xia Hanzhou, and waved his hand:

"Everyone disperse. If King Xiayue dies, it is the malice acting up.

I, Xia Yuan, am determined to wipe out all the malice in the world in this life to avenge King Xiayue!

By the way, have everyone nearby stay away from King Xiayue; don't let King Xiayue harm others."

Xia Yuan sneered in his heart.

In the past, when Lu Xunyang was in seclusion, Xia Hanzhou was the boss.

Therefore, Xia Hanzhou was bossy toward everyone.

Especially toward him, Xia Yuan; despite being the acting ruler, he was more like a lackey.

He had long been dissatisfied in his heart.

Now, Li Zhiyi had appeared, and Xia Hanzhou could finally be dealt with by someone.

Everyone was happy in their hearts.

Below, Xia Hanzhou's body overflowed with malice as he looked up at the Grand Minister and the others:

"You... you all really deserve to die!"

Below, Zhang Xing, being in the Creation Realm, dared not spy on the Eighth Rank.

But watching this scene, a chill emerged in Zhang Xing's heart.

His original intention was to become a new God General of Great Xia and be able to influence Great Xia.

Originally, everything was developing extremely smoothly.

His, Zhang Xing's, prestige in the army was also growing higher and higher.

Ever since Xia Yuan issued the 【Order to Kill Traitors】 and set indicators and methods for how to become a God General.

Zhang Xing felt he was getting closer and closer to his goal.

But now, Li Zhiyi had appeared.

Although the army was still convinced by him, Zhang Xing, anyone with a discerning eye could see.

The upper echelons of Great Xia favored Li Zhiyi even more.

It had even reached a point that Zhang Xing could not comprehend.

Zhang Xing clenched his fists tightly.

He had to make Li Zhiyi leave the front lines; otherwise, if Li Zhiyi met the requirements to become a Divine General ahead of time, all of his plans would be ruined.

It was at this very moment.

"Brother Zhang." A gentle smile sounded out; it was Jiang Yuan walking over.

"Brother Jiang." Zhang Xing looked at Jiang Yuan, his face instantly beaming with a smile.

"Is Brother Zhang worried that Li Zhiyi will block your path to becoming a Divine General?" Jiang Yuan said with a smile.

Zhang Xing did not speak, only slowly shaking his head.

He did not feign anything; after all, everyone knew that he, Zhang Xing, wanted to become a Divine General.

Jiang Yuan said in a low voice:

"Brother Zhang, you need not worry. I have been whispering in the ear of the Acting State Ruler these past few days.

The Acting State Ruler intends to send Li Zhiyi to Qi Province to handle that matter regarding the state within a state."

A sharp glint appeared in Zhang Xing's eyes:

"Truly?"

"Naturally." Jiang Yuan laughed:

"Once Li Zhiyi is gone, who can snatch your position as Divine General?"

Zhang Xing looked at Jiang Yuan:

"Why are you helping me?"

Jiang Yuan sneered:

"Brother Zhang, have you still not seen it clearly?

With Li Zhiyi around, Brother Zhang will be restricted; do you think I, Jiang Yuan, am not restricted?

I, Jiang Yuan, am a genius without peer throughout the ages, and the Yan Party internally has even endorsed me to become the next Divine General.

Yet, there are those who do not wish to see my Yan Party grow so strong."

Jiang Yuan narrowed his eyes:

"And that person trusts Li Zhiyi so much, which also carries the intent of suppressing my Yan Party."

Zhang Xing's eyes narrowed slightly.

The backbone of Great Xia consisted of the Xunyang Faction, the Yan Party, and the Xia Clan.

The Yan Party was actually in cahoots with the Xunyang Faction.

Which is to say, the primary power controlling Great Xia was the Yan Party.

But the appearance of Li Zhiyi broke this.

Li Zhiyi was not of the Yan Party.

As the head of the Xia Clan, Xia Hanzhou could not watch the Yan Party become the sole power.

Was this Great Xia, in the end, the Great Xia of the Xia Clan, or the Great Xia of the already deceased Chen Yan?

Or was it that Chen Yu was about to inherit everything that belonged to Chen Yan?

And completely allow the Yunmeng Chen Clan to replace the Xia Clan.

That was why Xia Hanzhou had pushed forward a Li Zhiyi.

In an instant, all of Zhang Xing's long-held doubts vanished.

No wonder Xia Hanzhou valued a Li Zhiyi who had suddenly popped up so highly.

So the drunkard's heart was not in the cup.

Every word Jiang Yuan spoke was about Li Zhiyi, but every word was actually about Xia Hanzhou.

So that was it.

The Yan Party had long been dissatisfied with Xia Hanzhou's favoritism toward Li Zhiyi.

"Brother Jiang, you mean..." Zhang Xing looked at Jiang Yuan, his breathing becoming rapid.

Jiang Yuan laughed:

"Within my Yan Party, we will vigorously assist Brother Zhang, but after Brother Zhang becomes a Divine General..."

Jiang Yuan was extremely earnest:

"If you become wealthy and noble, do not forget me!

I, Jiang Yuan, also wish to witness the demeanor of a First-Rank Divine General!"

A sharp glint appeared in Jiang Yuan's eyes, his entire body radiating an aura of looking down upon the world.

Zhang Xing looked at Jiang Yuan in this moment, extremely sincere:

"If you become wealthy and noble, do not forget me!"

The next moment, Jiang Yuan smiled.

Zhang Xing also revealed a smile.

He sneered in his heart.

He had always thought that Jiang Yuan already harbored suspicions toward him, which was why he had always been wary of Jiang Yuan.

Now it seemed that he, Zhang Xing, had thought wrong.

Among the human race of Great Xia, there are good people indeed.

Foolish human race!

Even at this point, they are still thinking about the struggle for power.

Wait until I swallow you one by one into my belly, then you can continue to struggle.

At this moment, Jiang Yuan and Zhang Xing locked eyes, both of them wearing faint smiles on their lips.

Their sincere gazes collided, as if they were old friends who had not met for many years.

"Hahahaha!"

"Hahahaha!"
