Chapter 263: The Secret Behind the Person Who Strangled the Dragon Martial Soul

Yi Zhuyue had discovered Luo Shen's unusual behavior early on; when faced with the pressure from the Fourth Elder and Fifth Elder, she had not taken any action to handle it.

At first, she was curious about why Luo Shen would do such a thing, but now she had completely figured it out.

Luo Shen was creating an opportunity for Su Chen to establish his authority.

After all, although Su Chen had many powerful subordinates by his side, he himself was merely in the Great Saint Realm, making it difficult to get everyone to submit.

Although everyone had submitted to Su Chen on the surface, there were inevitably those who had complaints in private, feeling that Su Chen's strength did not qualify him to be their superior.

But now it was different; they discovered that Su Chen was a Bole capable of discovering thousand-li horses. Throughout history, wise monarchs rarely possessed great strength themselves; they primarily relied on having many capable and ambitious people among their subordinates.

If one only relies on their own strength and never cares for the assistance of others, they will eventually perish due to being outnumbered.

Serving such a person also allows one to realize their greatest life value.

It seems that the people around Su Chen are truly hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

"Now, do the two Elders have anything else to say?"

Su Chen looked at them with a smile, the Spirit Fire in his hand burning fiercely, flickering on and off as if it could hardly wait to burn the two of them to ashes.

How could the two of them dare to have any objections? Things had already reached this point; even if they said anything more, they could not stir up the emotions of the crowd.

They could not win in a fight, and they could not win in an argument.

What else could they do?

"Young Master is wise; this old man is willing to assist Alliance Leader Liu."

The Fourth Elder was the first to express his stance.

The Fifth Elder also expressed his stance, albeit unwillingly.

"Rest assured, both of you. Since you are truly capable people with both courage and strategy, I naturally will not treat you unfairly. What is happening now is only temporary; there will be opportunities to be entrusted with important tasks in the future."

Seeing this, Su Chen also said with a smile.

He did not close off their options, letting them see hope.

After all, in Su Chen's view, it was normal for the two Elders to have objections to setting Liu Ruyan as the Alliance Leader; it would be abnormal if they didn't. After all, people in the cultivation world value strength above all else, and few are willing to accept someone with a lower cultivation level riding on their heads.

Moreover, the two of them were at most a bit opportunistic, but that did not necessarily mean their natures were evil.

As soon as these words were spoken, a fanatical light flashed in the eyes of the Fourth Elder and the Fifth Elder.

Naturally, the two of them were unwilling to be subservient to Liu Ruyan for the rest of their lives, and now that they had heard these words from Su Chen, they were naturally full of fighting spirit.

The first thing to happen was that the two of them began to compete with each other, determined to do better than the other.

As for Lv Luo, watching Su Chen's domineering words, her eyes sparkled with stars. She had been so anxious she was about to cry just a moment ago, but she hadn't expected Su Chen to resolve this matter without any effort at all.

"Young Master, you did very well."

Seeing this scene, Luo Shen could not help but say.

She had always intended to temper Su Chen, and now, seeing this satisfactory result, she could not help but praise him.

Su Chen did not hesitate and laughed twice.

With this, the farce was completely over.

And as the agreed-upon time had arrived, Su Chen went to find Yi Zhuyue alone.

"How have you been feeling these past few days?"

Su Chen's gaze swept over Yi Zhuyue's belly, a roguish smile on his face.

This appearance was like a completely different person from the calm and steady man from just a moment ago.

Yi Zhuyue could not help but roll her eyes at him, thinking to herself that Su Chen was a truly interesting person; although he didn't look like a serious person on the surface, he handled major matters flawlessly. "Fine."

Yi Zhuyue replied with a cold face, "The sect is being governed quite well, much stronger than Shi Zhengxiong."

She had stayed in the Qingyun Alliance for so many years, so she naturally knew the internal situation like the back of her hand.

In the past, the class concept in the Qingyun Alliance was extremely severe; as long as you had a good family background or strong connections, you could do whatever you wanted, and it could be said that there was no law or order.

And those disciples who cultivated in poverty, no matter how high their talent was, had to be suppressed; not only would they not get good cultivation resources, but they would also be bullied by others.

"Can this Young Master take that as you complimenting me?"

Su Chen chuckled, his eyes fixed on Yi Zhuyue.

"Don't be so narcissistic; I'm just stating the facts."

Yi Zhuyue rolled her eyes at him, snorted coldly, and said.

"The time has come; what have you decided?"

Su Chen curled his lips into a smile, not bothering to argue with her about these trivial matters.

There was no point in winning a momentary war of words; the key was to get the intelligence behind her, which was more practical.

Yi Zhuyue did not answer Su Chen's question directly, instead giving an answer that had nothing to do with the question.

"I cannot let the child have no father."

But as soon as she said this, Su Chen immediately understood what she meant.

Su Chen pulled Yi Zhuyue directly into his arms and said, "This Young Master will let you know how wise your choice is."

"Smooth talker."

Yi Zhuyue could not help but say, but for some reason, she felt a bit happy in her heart, "Words are useless; prove it to me and let me know that my choice was right."

"That goes without saying."

Su Chen nodded in agreement.

"What do you want to know?" Yi Zhuyue said.

Since she had already made up her mind to follow Su Chen, there was no need to hide the previous matters.

They were now grasshoppers on the same rope; they would prosper together and suffer together.

Now that she was pregnant, even if she didn't follow Su Chen, once her master found out about this, the only end left for her would be death.

"The master behind you is the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor, right? As far as I know, he shouldn't be from the Tianxuan Continent. Why did he send you down, and what is he plotting?"

Su Chen immediately asked, getting straight to the point.

"You have been to that Ancient Tomb and should have seen the letters inside; the decree issued by the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor several hundred years ago was to find anyone with a Dragon Martial Soul, and once encountered, to strangle them without leaving any room for mercy."

Yi Zhuyue said slowly, "The reason he went to such great lengths to send us down here is also because of this person."

As soon as Su Chen heard something concerning himself, he immediately became twelve times more alert; after all, this Dragon Martial Soul was his own.

What the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor was doing was undoubtedly forcing him onto a path to death, and having done so much, what exactly was his goal? Thinking of this, Su Chen asked, "Why must he find someone with a Dragon Martial Soul? Does this person have some connection to him?"

Even though Yi Zhuyue was his person now, he still did not tell her everything about himself without reservation.

"This brings us to an enemy of the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor, the Dragon Great Emperor. I also do not know why he wants to find someone with a Dragon Martial Soul, but the former Dragon Great Emperor possessed a God Grade Divine Dragon Martial Soul; it is just that due to an accident, the Dragon Great Emperor went missing. He is likely doing this to thoroughly stifle the possibility of the Dragon Great Emperor being reincarnated and reborn."

Yi Zhuyue said slowly, her expression solemn.
