Chapter 932: When you were spreading lewd rumors, why weren't you scared?

"Done!"

Jiang Yuan entered Xia Hanzhou's office with a grin.

Xia Hanzhou, Xia Yuan, Xia Long, Li Zhiyi, Shen Yiwei, Wu Song, Hong Mi, and other high-ranking officials of Great Xia were all in the room.

"Is everyone unhappy?" Jiang Yuan looked at the group.

Instead, he saw a crowd of people looking at him coldly.

Hum!

Green light erupted from Ke Qingxuan's body, condensing into a terrifying offensive.

"Calm down."

Wu Song looked at Ke Qingxuan and spoke in a deep voice:

"The Heavenly God General hasn't said anything yet."

Everyone looked at the red-clad figure standing before the window.

Sunlight poured in at an angle, passing through fluffy red hair, plating the tips of Li Zhiyi's hair with a golden-red halo; tiny specks of light danced between the strands, making that splash of red appear even more intense.

Jiang Yuan was stunned and looked at Xia Hanzhou:

"What's wrong?"

"You spread lewd rumors, and you're asking what's wrong?" Hong Mi swept a cold glance at Jiang Yuan and made a throat-slitting gesture.

Earlier, the conversation between Zhang Xing and Jiang Yuan had already been heard by everyone in the office.

Jiang Yuan's face twitched, and he looked at Li Zhiyi, saying hurriedly:

"Zhiyi, Chen Yan, you have to understand, I..."

Li Zhiyi's figure turned abruptly, red hair swept across their cheek, and red eyes instantly met Jiang Yuan's gaze.

"Brother Chen!" Jiang Yuan spoke quickly.

Li Zhiyi gave Jiang Yuan a faint look.

To Jiang Yuan, Chen Yan was a stumbling block that had fallen from the sky.

All of Jiang Yuan's future and reputation had been suppressed by Chen Yan, so there was certainly some resentment in his heart.

"I know you have resentment in your heart," Li Zhiyi said indifferently.

"I don't!" Jiang Yuan stood exceptionally straight.

"I know you want to obtain the title of God General."

"I don't, holy shit!" Jiang Yuan looked at the crowd, but no one chimed in.

"Scared? When you were spreading lewd rumors, why weren't you scared?" Hong Mi watched the show.

Jiang Yuan was taken aback; he realized.

"Chen Yan, you really misunderstood; wasn't I doing this for the cause?" Jiang Yuan chuckled.

"Mm," Li Zhiyi nodded:

"After this, when we exterminate the Unprecedented Void Sacrifice, you, Jiang Yuan, shall be a major general of my Great Xia!"

A smile appeared on Jiang Yuan's face:

"That goes without saying."

"The heavy responsibility of surrounding and killing the Unprecedented Void Sacrifice is handed to you," Li Zhiyi said flatly.

"Huh?"

Jiang Yuan was stunned, frozen in place.

He wanted to curse internally.

His earlier tactic of playing hard to get hadn't earned him a single word of praise.

Now, Li Zhiyi wanted him dead.

Wanted him dead!

Jiang Yuan looked at Xia Hanzhou.

Xia Hanzhou raised his brows slightly and turned his head away.

Jiang Yuan felt numb.

Li Zhiyi looked at the crowd:

"Surrounding and killing the Unprecedented Void Sacrifice and the Yuanchu Hundun is our current grand plan.

Lord Chen will definitely step in to stop us, so we must make Lord Chen act in advance."

As Li Zhiyi's voice fell, everyone listened.

"Step one: The Lord of Yu abdicates to Zhang Huizhi, and we, the high-ranking officials of Great Xia, secretly head to Yu Province; this news needs to be inadvertently leaked to Lord Chen."

Xia Hanzhou nodded:

"Wu Yuan and Zhang Xing are both human incarnations of the Unprecedented Void Sacrifice; news between the two must be connected, and the information will certainly reach the Five Clans."

Zhang Ting frowned:

"Because Lord Chen wants to kill the Lord of Yu, if we head to Yu Province, is Lord Chen worried that he will never be able to kill the Lord of Yu again?"

Shen Yiwei nodded:

"Exactly."

"But what if Lord Chen still doesn't act?" Zhang Ting said in a deep voice.

"That is where the second step comes in," Li Zhiyi looked at Xia Hanzhou:

"King Xia Yue will use the Soul of the Fate Chapter to ascend to the Ninth Rank while we are heading to Yu Province.

Lord Chen will appear no matter what."

Zhang Ting fell silent.

This is a conspiracy that forces one step after another.

Lord Chen must take action to stop Xia Hanzhou from advancing to the Ninth Rank.

"What about the Yuanchu Hundun and the Unseen Void Sacrifice? Surely they aren't really going to be handed over to Jiang Yuan?" Hong Mi chuckled softly.

"What do you mean?" Jiang Yuan looked at Hong Mi:

"Hong Mi, I have tolerated you for a long time."

"They are to be handed over to Jiang Yuan," Li Zhiyi said calmly.

Jiang Yuan's body stiffened, then he pursed his lips and said nothing more.

"Lu Xunyang will take action; he is about to advance to the Ninth Rank," Xia Hanzhou took a deep breath, feeling quite desolate.

He hadn't expected that in the end, he was merely the bait, and Lu Xunyang's advancement to the Ninth Rank was the real point.

No one cared about him, this King of Xia Yue.

Even Xia Yuan felt that he was the most suitable person to act as bait.

Could it be that he, Xia Hanzhou, had not treated everyone well in the past?

The hearts of the crowd trembled, and they all looked at Li Zhiyi.

This is a chain of schemes.

The high-level officials of Great Xia entering Yu Province, combined with Xia Hanzhou's advancement, forces Lord Chen to take action.

The Yan Party and Zhang Xing pretend to conspire, then annihilate the Unseen Void Sacrifice and the Yuanchu Hundun.

And the final key.

Is actually Lu Xunyang advancing to the Ninth Rank.

One plan after another.

Insidious.

"When that time comes, it will be the moment for a great war across the world!"

Li Zhiyi looked at the crowd:

"With the Five Clans and the Great Xia's Eighth Ranks all coming out, it will evolve into the most tragic battle in the history of the human race.

Whether it can succeed depends entirely on you all."

Li Zhiyi's voice was resonant, carrying a powerful force.

Everyone's expression turned stern.

Indeed.

If the plan proceeds.

One can only imagine how many human Eighth Ranks will fall.

Perhaps even one or two of the Five Clans' masters will fall.

The Five Clans' army marching into Great Xia seems like child's play in the face of this plan.

The wind and rain are coming, filling the pavilion.

At this moment, merely arranging the plan made everyone feel a strong sense of urgency.

If it succeeds, the world will be settled, and the human race will have only one person in charge.

If it fails, Lord Chen will be invincible in the world, and Great Xia will no longer have the foundation to contend with the Five Clans.

Everyone present could potentially die.

The one most likely to die is Xia Hanzhou.

After all, Xia Hanzhou, like the Lord of Yu, is bait.

Li Zhiyi bowed to the crowd.

Xia Hanzhou stood up, a trace of melancholy appearing in his eyes, and bowed to Li Zhiyi.

Ke Qingxuan, Shen Yiwei, and the others all bowed in return.

Everyone knew what they were about to face.

Jiang Yuan's face trembled slightly; looking at Li Zhiyi at this moment, he gave a bitter smile and bowed.

He was always melancholy.

Why did the world not give him time to develop?

Clearly, his future was destined to surpass Lu Xunyang.

Alas, such is time, such is fate.

He, Jiang Yuan, encountered such an era at this cultivation level and this age; to be late by a little is to be late for a lifetime.

Slap.

Suddenly, someone patted Jiang Yuan on the shoulder.

Jiang Yuan looked up and saw a pair of blood-red eyes.

"Brother Chen, you..."

Jiang Yuan was in the middle of speaking.

Boom!

A massive force struck; Jiang Yuan's body shattered the wall, turning into a streak of light in the void, heading straight toward the Qiong Heaven.

This scene was witnessed by everyone.

Fast, fast to the extreme.

Below, Zhang Xing watched this scene, his figure flashed, he flew into the Qiong Heaven and caught Jiang Yuan.

"Brother Zhang!"

Lingering fear appeared in Jiang Yuan's eyes, and only after seeing Zhang Xing catch him did a sense of security emerge.

"Brother Jiang, what is wrong?" Zhang Xing asked hurriedly.

"Brother Zhang, you must leave quickly!" Jiang Yuan sent a voice transmission, his tone urgent.

"What is it?" Zhang Xing frowned.

Then he saw.

Below, amidst the shattered building, Li Zhiyi walked out in a set of red robes.

Following behind Li Zhiyi were Shen Yiwei, Ke Qingxuan, and others.

"Jiang Yuan, at such a critical moment of life and death, you actually drink and neglect your duties!"

Li Zhiyi's eyes were indifferent:

"If the army's grand strategy is defeated, I will hold you accountable!"

Li Zhiyi's voice was vast, filled with terrifying majesty.

Xia Yuan appeared and frowned, saying:

"It is just a bit of wine, why treat Jiang Yuan like this?"

Li Zhiyi looked at Xia Yuan indifferently.

Xia Hanzhou spoke up hurriedly:

"Xia Yuan, go stand aside and cool off."

Xia Yuan wanted to say more but stopped.

"Ke Qingxuan," Li Zhiyi said calmly.

"Present!" Ke Qingxuan replied, her voice cold, yet carrying a hint of something else.

"This afternoon, draft new military discipline and announce it to the Great Xia!" Li Zhiyi stood with his hands behind his back, then turned and left.

"Yes!" Ke Qingxuan replied hurriedly.

Upon the earth.

A crowd of Great Xia soldiers watched this scene, looks of admiration appearing in their eyes.

"The Lord of Will is mighty!"

"Supreme!"

"An army without discipline is a useless army!"

Voices of reverence rang out one after another, like boiling water churning.

"Jiang Yuan, you are about to lose all the face of our Yu family!"

Someone laughed aloud, sneering, and flew into the sky.

It was Yu Sixian.

Jiang Yuan frowned; why had Yu Sixian come over?

"My dear brother, look at you, how did you end up in such a state?" Yu Sixian looked at Jiang Yuan mockingly.

Jiang Yuan stared at Yu Sixian.

The next moment.

Boom!

A fist of fire fell from the firmament, directly slamming Yu Sixian into the earth.

"Damn it, who gave you the right to speak here?"

Jiang Yuan cursed under his breath:

"Idiot."

He was already full of rage, and Yu Sixian had arrived at just the right time.

When I was hacking through thorns and brambles, you were behind me cursing me.

When I am a tiger fallen on the plains, you are here barking like a mad dog.

Beside Jiang Yuan, Zhang Xing watched all these scenes unfold.

Li Zhiyi warned Jiang Yuan, but in reality, he was warning him.

Ke Qingxuan, though cold, was enamored with Li Zhiyi.

Shen Yiwei, Zhang Ting, and other members of the Yan Party were dissatisfied with Li Zhiyi punishing Jiang Yuan, but they dared not speak more.

Xia Hanzhou's favoritism and trust toward Li Zhiyi.

Furthermore, Xia Yuan and the entire Yan Party had long been dissatisfied with Xia Hanzhou.

Good, good, good.

What a human race.

The more people there are, the more interesting it gets.

A trace of a smile appeared at the corner of Zhang Xing's mouth:

"A bit interesting."

Only Jiang Yuan gave a bitter laugh:

"Brother Zhang, you are going to be implicated by me."

Zhang Xing looked at Jiang Yuan and said earnestly:

"Together, we shall be immortal!"

Jiang Yuan was stunned, a glimmer of tears appearing in his eyes:

"Together, we shall be immortal!"

At the same time.

The Ninth Refining of the Emperor Realm!

Boom!

The instant the blazing star collided with Chen Yan's body, the next moment, hundreds of millions of fire waves erupted.

Chen Yan had passed the fourth refinement of the Nine Refinements of the Emperor Realm, the extreme of defense.

As Chen Yan stepped out with one foot, he arrived in a chaotic space.

Suspended between heaven and earth were countless brilliant energy crystals, each containing enough violent power to shatter a star.

The fifth level, the extreme of energy!

It tests a person's physical energy.

Chen Yan's eyes were indifferent, and malice overflowed from his entire body.

Energy?

What Chen Yan lacked the least was energy.

Malice is energy.

True Martial is also energy.

The power of will is still energy.

With a thought from Chen Yan, black mist of malice surged out from his robe sleeves, pouncing toward the cluster of crystals like a hungry giant python.

In an instant.

The pitch-black malice transformed into hundreds of millions of black rays of light, traversing the void and pouring into each of these crystals.

The next instant.

A powerful force swept by, and this world vanished right before Chen Yan's eyes.

Chen Yan had cleared the level.

It was clearly Chen Fazheng who had taken action.

The other party did not want Chen Yan to leave too much malice within the Nine Refinements of the Emperor Realm.

This was Chen Fazheng begging Chen Yan to clear the level.
