Listening to the soft whispers in his ears, Chen Peilu couldn't stop feeling panicked. Even his fingers were trembling slightly and his whole body was frozen in place.
At this moment, no matter how stupid he is, he can understand that he has always been a clown, thinking that he had gained Chen Yuan's trust and introduced him to the East Valley.
But in fact, it was... being used as a chess piece, attracting Prince Zhennan to come and creating an opportunity for him to solve Nanzhou in a short period of time.
"You...when did you...find out?"
Chen Peilu asked with a slightly trembling voice.
"Of course it was from the time you first met this king."
Chen Peilu looked shocked:
"At that time...didn't you trust me very much?"
"If I don't trust you, how can I lure Nangong Lie here?"
A slight smile appeared at the corner of Chen Yuan's mouth.
These words were naturally what he said to deceive Chen Peilu. In fact, Chen Yuan did not suspect anything at the time, and even thought that this was a template for a protagonist that could be cultivated in the future.
Maybe he can become his capable subordinate.
but....
Again, Chen Yuan has always been a very cautious person, and he is not only cautious, but also suspicious.
The first time he became suspicious was when he returned to Tangshan to review the entire incident using his past experiences, and then he discovered several doubtful points.
Why did Chen Peilu meet him by such a coincidence?
Why did Nangong Lie, the king of Zhennan, not wait for Nanzhou City? He happened to appear on the border at that time and rescued Bai Niansheng of the Nine-tailed Fox Clan.
why?
Everything sprouted from the doubt in his heart. At first, he thought his feelings were wrong. There were not no coincidences in the world.
Nangong Lie appeared at the border of southern Xinjiang, and it was he who colluded with the demon clan.
But this answer obviously couldn't convince him.
Because he suddenly took action at that time, he showed up when Bai Niansheng was unprepared. After a battle, he severely damaged her and took the Su family as his foundation.
If Bai Niansheng had been prepared and contacted Nangong Lie in advance, then why did he have to flee for his life in a panic? It is obviously more advantageous to besiege him.
This is the biggest doubt and also the beginning.
Since then, Chen Yuan ordered people to investigate Chen Peilu's origins and Wu Ying's affairs, while instructing Su Ziyue to secretly pay close attention to all Chen Peilu's actions.
Then....
No doubts were found. Everything Chen Peilu said was true. Under Chen Yuan, he worked hard to repay Chen Yuan's life-saving grace.
Not a single flaw, everything is perfect.
It stands to reason that such a perfect answer should be enough to dispel his suspicions, but... it is precisely the perfection that makes Chen Yuan even more suspicious.
Because everything was like a script, the situation he investigated was almost the same as what Chen Peilu said.
How could a person tell a person he or she met for the first time everything about his or her life?
From that time on, Chen Yuan began to pay attention to Chen Peilu, and at the same time, he was also planning this day.
Sure enough, when Chen Yuan led Chen Peilu into Nanzhou, he immediately showed his strong ability, eliminating all worries in every detail, and his performance was perfect.
Chen Yuan's goal was also achieved.
Zhu Huai on the side looked horrified. He never thought that there would be such a thing. Dongshan Valley was just an appetizer, but the actual feast was Zhennan King Nangong Lie!
"I...I..." Chen Peilu suddenly stuttered, not knowing what to say.
"Nangong Lie also has foresight. He started to attack me so early. You are indeed a good talent. It's a pity that you found the wrong master."
"No...that's not the case..." Chen Peilu shook his head.
"Oh? There is another hidden secret. Let's talk about it while Nangong Lie hasn't shown up yet. I am happy to listen." Chen Yuan smiled. Even if Nangong Lie went out in full force today, he would not hesitate to use all his strength to give If he plays another game within a game within a game, he is still confident that he can leave.
So, he seemed very confident.
"Subordinate... When I met the prince, I did not plan it out. At that time..." Chen Peilu seemed to have accepted his fate, showing his last sense of existence.
It turns out that it was indeed a coincidence that he met Chen Yuan. He was originally a chess piece that Nangong Lie had thrown around in the world, but he had little contact with him.
Wu Ying betrayed him and asked the people in the East Valley to hunt him down, so he contacted Nangong Lie in advance, hoping that he could help him.
Later, Nangong Lie did send someone, but the focus was not on him, but on the fight between Chen Yuan and the Great Sage of the Demon Clan. Then, he contacted Nangong Lie who was nearby.
Only then did they intercept him in southern Xinjiang.
And it was really just a coincidence that he met Chen Yuan. However, after Nangong Lie discovered that Chen Peilu had been rescued by Chen Yuan, he ordered him to hide in secret.
All help can be provided.
Only then did he make many meritorious deeds, stand out and be valued by Chen Yuan. Later, it was Chen Yuan's battle in Zijin Mountain. At that time, Nangong Lie began to contact him secretly.
Looking forward to this day coming.
No, what is accurate is that both sides are looking forward to this day.
After hearing this, Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows. It turned out that the clues he found were not completely accurate. It was indeed Qiaoer's mother who opened the door for Qiaoer, and Qiao arrived home.
"I see, but it doesn't matter. Both this king and Nangong Lie have achieved their goals. Peilu, you...have done a good job."
Then, Chen Yuan paused, seemed to feel something, and said with a smile:
"Look, he's coming!"
As Chen Yuan's words fell, between heaven and earth, magnificent momentum suddenly came to life from all directions. In the void, rays of light escaped, directly sealing the void for dozens of miles in radius.
At the same time, endless dark clouds began to gather near the east valley.
A thick and majestic voice then resounded between heaven and earth.
"Chen Yuan, since you have come to Nanzhou, how can you not let me, the master, entertain you? Haha... Could it be that you dislike me for not entertaining you well?"
In the void, a middle-aged man wearing the dragon king's robe slowly condensed between the sky and the earth, and his huge aura was revealed without reservation at this moment.
Then, next to Nangong Lie, five figures appeared again, and most of them were very familiar to Chen Yuan.
It was none other than the few people who had made a big fuss in Shushan and fled.
Tongbei from the Huntian Divine Ape Clan, a strong man from the Azure Demonic Ox Clan, the Tianpeng Demon Saint whose claws were torn apart by Chen Yuan, and except for the Soul Eater from the Chiming Blood Tiger Clan, the other three all appeared at this moment. .
In addition, there were two other people. One was a middle-aged woman wearing a black gauze dress. She was somewhat similar to the Nine Spider Demon Saint that Chen Yuan killed, and she was his eldest sister.
The other one was wearing black armor and holding a spear. He was Nangong Lie's adopted son, and he was also his shadow. He had never been seen in the eyes of the world.
It's one of his arms!
Counting Nangong Lie himself, six powerful men at the Yang Shen True Lord level suddenly appeared here, standing between heaven and earth, blocking all roads.
Then, roars suddenly exploded outside the east valley, and tens of thousands of elite Zhennan soldiers appeared in four directions at the same time.
They are divided into four divisions, each with a total of 50,000 troops. They are all elites trained by Nangong Lie with great efforts, no less than the elites of the Central Plains of the Northern Liang Army.
It is almost as good as the two true kings who have just entered the realm of the Yang God!
It was even more powerful than the 300,000 forbidden troops that Jingtai had placed at Purple Mountain.
The royal flag is fluttering and the cold wind is biting.
After the Zhennan Army finished roaring, there was silence. Only the war horses under their crotches were breathing heavily. Some of the war horses were mutated and even larger.
It is more powerful than the best war horses in Northern Xinjiang.
They are the alien war horses that Nangong Lie improved on his own, and are hybrids with alien beasts from the demon clan. They are more terrifying and powerful. These war horses are also covered with armor and stomachs, with formation patterns engraved on them. , exuding an extremely powerful aura, making the battle formation even more terrifying.
But the more this happens, the paler Chen Peilu's face becomes, because this is almost half of the Zhennan King's family fortune. If it is lost here today, there will no longer be a chance to dominate the world!
He...is guilty!
But at this moment, he was suppressed by Chen Yuan and could not move at all.
"Chen Yuan, if you dare to kill Sister Jiuzhu, I will pay with your life today!" The middle-aged woman shouted at Chen Yuan with a fierce look on her face.
"Chen Yuan, it's time to understand the grudges we had at the beginning!"
Tianpeng Demon Saint snorted coldly, his eyes filled with blood red.
Chen Yuan's torn arm almost severely injured him. It took him a long time to recover, and it also used a lot of the Tianpeng clan's foundation.
These grudges and accounts should all be settled!
"Hahaha, Chen Yuan, what other methods do you have? What is the same thing throughout the ages? Today, you must fall under the iron fist of this saint!" Tongbei Demon Saint was full of confidence.
Not just him, to be exact, all of them are very confident!
But no one except Chen Peilu noticed that even after Nangong Lie and others appeared, Chen Yuan still did not panic at all, and neither did the soldiers under his command.
Instead, they quickly gathered everything together and formed a battle formation.
Zhu Huai, who might have been flustered, distrustful, and unaware of what was going on, now feels confident under Chen Yuan's words just now.
The Lord has a plan!
"The world is uncertain. When did Nanzhou become your Nangong Lie's realm?" Chen Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, not at all shocked by Nangong Lie's appearance.
But when Nangong Lie looked at Chen Yuan's expression, he had a vague feeling of something bad.
But he quickly dispersed these mixed thoughts. Chen Yuan's calm and calm expression must be a bluff. This must be it! ! !
This time, six powerful men at the True Lord level have arrived, and 200,000 elite heavy armored cavalry are on standby, far exceeding Chen Yuan's current power.
No matter how you put it, 200,000 versus less than 100,000, six true kings and powerful demon saints versus four powerful demon saints.
The advantage is his!
How did he lose?
Um?
How to lose!
Nangong Lie kept hinting to himself so that he could not be afraid of Chen Yuan. Since he had all the advantages, why should he be afraid of a little Chen Yuan?
"Since the former Chu was destroyed and the Jin Dynasty was established, I have been guarding the frontiers of the Central Plains in Nanzhou. This is a great achievement of the human race, and Nanzhou is my king's fiefdom.
Why can't he be considered the master? "
Nangong Lie asked rhetorically.
But Chen Yuan put his hand on the top of Chen Peilu's head and pressed it gently, turning it into nothingness, like some fragments, floating between heaven and earth.
Nangong Lie didn't even look at it.
He is a chess piece in his own right. Now that his mission has been accomplished, it doesn't matter whether he dies or not. There are so many strong men under his command, including a mere Tiandan Grandmaster.
"You are just a dog thief who rebels against the human race. How can you have the dignity to say that you are a hero of the human race? You have colluded with the monster clan in southern Xinjiang and are completely unscrupulous...
Nangong Lie, you...damn it! "
Chen Yuan's eyes narrowed and he scolded.
"Hahaha, do you think this is the time to judge Jingtai? Do you think you can win by judging my king's crimes? Now, you are already a withered bone in the grave.
I know that the Heavenly Sword True Lord Jiang He and the Underworld Lord Chu Changfeng are in the East Valley, but... so what? You think you can destroy Donggu Valley before destroying this king.
It's just that you are overthinking it. By bringing it here today, you are treating this East Valley as your cemetery, so that you, the world-famous true king of the human race, will die here.
From the moment you killed Jingtai, you became the most famous being in the world, but that's why you deserve to die after you completed your mission! "
Nangong Lie snorted coldly, consciously revealing Chen Yuan's trump card.
But Chen Yuan didn't have any fluctuations. He thought about it and knew that he couldn't bring only Zhu Huai, who had just entered the realm of Yangshen, with him when he entered Nanzhou. There must be others.
Although Chen Yuan hid it, he deliberately revealed it to Chen Peilu's eyes, and then passed it on to Nangong Lie, just to make him understand.
The advantage is his!
But...that's not the case.
"It seems that you know a lot, but... did you expect that you introduced me to the East Valley? How could I, the king, not introduce you to this place?"
Chen Yuan laughed loudly, his laughter shaking the sky.
"What did you say?!"
The expressions of Nangong Lie and the people around him changed drastically.
The next moment, a dazzling bloody light suddenly lit up on the ground and shot straight into the sky. Then, the ground began to shake, and huge cracks suddenly opened.
A huge giant turtle poked its head out. Zhao Danqing stood on the back of the giant turtle with his hands behind his back and a sly smile on his face.
On the left, Jiang He, dressed in white, and Chu Changfeng, dressed in battle armor and holding a divine halberd, slowly appeared. On the right, Monk Xuyan clasped his hands together and recited the Buddha's name.
Behind them, swords roared into the sky, and cracks were opened in the void. Master Lingxu of Shushan held the Immortal Killing Sword and stared at the demon saints with cold eyes.
In front, Taoist Priest Qingxu of Shushan stood with a sword in hand, wary of the other party.
Nangong Lie and others were instantly surrounded by people from all directions, including front, back, left, and right.
There was an unspeakable silence between heaven and earth.
Chen Yuan curled up his lips, stepped into the void step by step, looked straight at Nangong Lie, and said calmly:
"Now, who has the advantage?!"
