Chapter 939: Too Fucking Brutal

Zhang Xing spoke righteously.

This actually left Jiang Yuan and the others stunned.

Zhang Ting looked at Jiang Yuan, the meaning in his eyes a bit too complex.

If one were to say Chen Changyuan was a servant of four families, then Jiang Yuan was another legend.

Back then, he managed to become a top-tier prodigy of the Aristocratic Family Alliance, then went to Ji Province and became a high-ranking official of Ji Province.

Now, he has once again swindled an ancient divine beast into such a state.

It's fucking brutal.

"Everyone!" Jiang Yuan roared out:

"You've all seen it, this is Brother Zhang. When have I, Jiang Yuan, ever misjudged someone!"

Zhang Xing's expression shifted, also becoming solemn, but he saw Jiang Yuan smiling as he said:

"There is still one more review to pass. Once this matter is settled, I will personally speak well of you before the Patrol Sun Divine General."

Zhang Xing was taken aback and hurriedly nodded.

Meanwhile.

Chen Province.

The Chen Lord played a game of chess alone, while Chen Liu, dressed in green, stood respectfully to the side.

"So you mean, Li Zhiyi and the others have already entered Yu Province?" The Chen Lord's brows lifted slightly, but he did not look at Chen Liu.

"Yes," Chen Liu said hurriedly.

A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of the Chen Lord's mouth:

"I have a question."

"Speak freely." A faint smile appeared at the corner of Chen Liu's mouth.

"Chen Liu, how is it that you know of such news?

Your methods are a bit too powerful.

Previously, it was also you who cooperated with the Nether Nightmare Tapir to hunt down Li Zhiyi."

The Chen Lord stood up and paced beside Chen Liu; his aura was calm, but the depth in his pupils revealed an indescribable coldness.

Chen Liu was startled:

"Chen Lord, do you not trust me anymore?"

"It is not that I do not trust you," the Chen Lord said indifferently:

"Chen Liu, I know you. When you became an Eternal, I was still just a young child.

But I remember very clearly that you only cared about eternity, not about worrying over the great affairs of the human world as you do now."

Chen Liu's pupils constricted, and he suddenly felt killing intent from all directions of heaven and earth locking onto him.

"The Dream-Eating Tapir and the Nether Nightmare Tapir have already died, the Primordial Chaos has entered the Evil Realm, and the Turbid Core Wumeng has entered the depths of the universe.

Among the five great ancient divine beasts of this human world, it seems there is still one, the Omen-Void Sacrifice."

The next instant.

Boom!

A powerful aura erupted from Chen Liu's body.

But the next moment, the Chen Lord waved a single hand, and a long sword pierced straight into the top of Chen Liu's head, pinning him to the lakeside.

"Chen Yuan, you don't trust me!" Chen Liu gritted his teeth.

"I do," Chen Yuan said indifferently, pointing a finger, and streams of light submerged into Chen Liu's body:

"But what you don't know is that I, Chen Yuan, am most familiar with my Chen clan bloodline."

Chen Liu's pupils constricted, never expecting that he would have such a slip-up.

"What are you doing?" Chen Liu barked out.

"I am injecting the Chen clan bloodline into your body." Chen Yuan's eyes were indifferent:

"No matter what you intend to do, from now on, you are a person of Chen Province."

A chill went through Chen Liu's heart.

He knew the Chen Lord's methods very well.

Once he was injected with the Chen Province bloodline, he—or rather, the Omen-Void Sacrifice—would be Chen Yuan's puppet.

The next moment.

Chen Yuan waved a single hand.

Ripples appeared in the void, and a man in white robes walked out.

It was none other than the Pool Lord.

"Yu Province wants to bait me into making a move, so you will go with him."

As the Chen Lord spoke, he took out a silver-white iron block, upon which complex secret scripts were engraved.

"If you encounter danger, detonate this piece of secret iron, and Chen Liu will surely die."

Chen Liu's pupils constricted; Chen Yuan was handing his life and death over to the Pool Lord.

The Pool Lord narrowed his eyes and looked at Chen Liu:

"This person is the Omen-Void Sacrifice?"

"A bit like it, but also seemingly not, but with him here, it is enough to lure out the real Omen-Void Sacrifice." The Chen Lord's eyes were indifferent:

"The merger of Great Xia and Yu Province might be for the purpose of baiting me out.

However, having the Omen-Void Sacrifice lead the charge is not bad at all."

The Pool Lord nodded:

"Fortunately, you know so much about the ancient divine beasts; otherwise, my Five Clans would have had a hard time getting through this trial."

Lord Chen did not answer, but merely looked at Lord Chi and said:

"Don't die."

Lord Chi gave a faint smile:

"If I die, then Chi Province shall be under your care."

Lord Chen nodded and bowed to Lord Chi in salute.

Lord Chi waved a hand and stepped into the void, taking Chen Liu with him.

…………

At the same time.

Outside the borders of Yu Province.

Zhang Xing's expression shifted.

He had not expected such a turn of events to occur.

Chen Liu, who was also one of the three human incarnations, had actually been directly controlled by Lord Chen.

This was the thing that caught him most off guard.

In an instant, the initiative in the matter was no longer in his hands.

"Brother Zhang, what is the matter?" Jiang Yuan asked with concern.

"It's nothing." Zhang Xing shook his head.

Jiang Yuan glanced at Zhang Xing, then said to Yu Cheng:

"It should be starting now, right?"

"Mm."

Yu Cheng nodded and tossed out a metal sphere; the sphere hovered in the void, and then a hole appeared in it.

Streams of light shot out from the hole, spreading across the void to form a projection.

On the projection was the scene inside the Yu Clan's great hall at this very moment.

Everyone was unsettled due to the arrival of Li Zhiyi and the others.

Soon, a black-robed figure appeared on the podium.

It was none other than Lord Yu.

The arrival of Lord Yu instantly caused an uproar.

A Yu Province powerhouse, whose eyes burned with scorching light and whose entire body was crafted from pitch-black metal, stood up directly:

"My Lord, what is the meaning of this? Why allow the high-level officials of Great Xia to attend our Yu Province meeting?"

As soon as this person spoke, the entire conference hall exploded in an instant.

"Quiet!"

Lord Yu spoke in a deep voice:

"Do you think that if Lord Chen does not strike at me, he will spare our Yu Province in the future?

I have already met with the Lord of Will; this is the only way out for our Yu Province!"

Lord Yu's voice fell.

The entire conference hall became quiet in an instant.

Even if the crowd had objections, Lord Yu was the core of Yu Province, and many of Lord Yu's loyal subordinates did not speak.

Yet, at this very moment.

A robotic body with a body glowing with golden-red light stood up.

When this person stood up, everyone quieted down.

"Great Elder, what do you have to say?" Two red glimmers flickered beneath Lord Yu's hood.

This person was none other than the current Great Elder of Yu Province, Yu Wen.

"My Lord."

Yu Wen's voice was hoarse:

"All of our Yu Province's resources are currently tilted toward Zhang Huizhi.

Multiple industries have even come to a standstill just to serve him, Zhang Huizhi, alone; there is now much public grievance.

Many people have proposed expelling Zhang Huizhi."

Lord Yu's eyes flashed:

"How many people proposed this?"

"Currently, seven of the eight great families of Yu Province are unwilling to continue providing resources to Zhang Huizhi," Yu Wen said in a deep voice.

Inside the conference hall.

Many Yu Clan powerhouses looked at one another.

Before this meeting began, many people already had their guesses.

Everything in Yu Province now was leaning toward Zhang Huizhi.

Now, opening a full clan assembly was likely related to Zhang Huizhi as well.

But once the importance of any matter rose to the level of a full clan assembly, it was different.

Therefore, many high-level Yu Clan members wanted to force the issue first.

To make Lord Yu swallow the words he was about to say.

In an instant, Lord Yu was actually being cornered.

Yet, at this very moment.

A grey-robed figure walked out, appearing beside the Universe Master.

It was precisely Zhang Huizhi.

"He still has the nerve to come out!"

"Where on earth is he from, and by what right does he consume the resources of our Universe Province?"

"Can he just get lost and leave our Universe Province?"

Voices rang out one after another.

Many people cast dissatisfied gazes toward Zhang Huizhi.

In the second row of the conference hall.

A trace of a smile appeared on the lips of Yu Yi, son of the Universe Master.

Most of those speaking at this moment had been arranged by him beforehand.

He was, after all, the son of the Universe Master, and his elder brother Yu Lai had not died in the Five Clans Conflict.

According to tradition, the position of the future Universe Master belonged to Yu Yi.

However, Zhang Huizhi's constant consumption of Universe Province resources was currently damaging the future resources of Yu Yi.

Moreover, Zhang Huizhi's existence was an extreme threat to Yu Yi.

Yu Yi had long wanted to make Zhang Huizhi get lost.

Zhang Huizhi's expression was calm.

This moment was his first meeting with the upper echelons of the Universe Province in any true sense.

It seemed that in ordinary times, the Universe Master had shielded him from the greatest storms.

The voices within the Universe Province were not unified.

"You all want me to get lost?" Zhang Huizhi spoke indifferently.

"We are talking about you!"

A young Universe Clan powerhouse stood up and roared:

"By what right do you consume the resources of our Universe Province?"

Everyone looked at Zhang Huizhi.

The Universe Master signaled frantically to Zhang Huizhi, but saw Zhang Huizhi merely smile faintly:

"Since you want me to get lost, I will not stay in this Universe Province."

Zhang Huizhi's voice fell.

In an instant, the conference hall went quiet.

Everyone looked at Zhang Huizhi.

Even the Universe Master had not expected Zhang Huizhi to pull this move.

Yet, Zhang Huizhi truly walked down from the podium, and as he actually left.

Li Zhiyi stood up.

And beside him, Xia Hanzhou and a group of other Great Xia upper echelons also stood up directly and left.

Very quickly.

Inside the conference hall, silence fell once again.
