Chapter 288: 287. The Second Edict
Translator: 549690339
In the mortal world, the relationship between the Ancient Gods Clan and the South Chu Dynasty had never been harmonious.
Although they were not as irreconcilable as the Heavenly River and the Blood River, the Ancient Gods Clan and the South Chu were old rivals.
For many years, there had been constant fights between the two sides. There had been constant big and small battles, and conflicts and friction were often seen.
Therefore, the Ancient Gods Clan had always been wary of the South Chu Empire.
Not long ago, South Chu had sent an envoy to the Ancient Gods Clan’s headquarters regarding the Fourth Prince Cheng Huyuan. Both sides had argued and spat at each other.
In the end, South Chu didn’t start an all-out war. Instead, they targeted the main culprit of the Divine Lands, Chen Luoyang.
Meanwhile, a new round of internal strife was triggered within the Ancient
Gods Clan because of the matter of Situ Gonghong, the Sixth of the Azure Dragon Clan. They were happy that Southern Chu would not disturb them, and they could not care less about the Divine Lands.
Of course, there was still the necessary attention.
The Third Prince of South Chu, Cheng Qiyuan, and the other experts of the mortal world had disappeared without a trace in the Divine Lands.
The Ancient Gods Clan was also surprised.
More than ten powerhouses at the peak of the Martial Emperor Realm were actually stewed by someone without a sound?
Even if ten stones were thrown into the water, they could at least make a sound and splash, right?
What was going on with Chen Luoyang of the Divine Lands?
Did he have the ability to take on so many experts at once?
There wasn’t even a single person who could escape back to the mortal world to report the situation?
Just as everyone was feeling bewildered, the South Chu Empire suddenly launched an attack.
The scale was beyond imagination!
The Ancient Gods Clan, which had always been on bad terms with South Chu and was always on guard against each other, was not caught off guard.
However, the ferocity of the other party’s attack clearly exceeded his expectations.
Especially when there was news that the Chu Emperor had personally led the army.
This put a lot of pressure on the Ancient Gods Clan.
His sect master was still in seclusion.
If he broke out of seclusion early, not only would his previous efforts be wasted, but it might even be harmful and harmful.
The Ancient Gods Clan quickly understood why South Chu had suddenly gone crazy and targeted them.
It was just that although they understood, the people of the Red Dust Ancient Gods Clan were really feeling wronged.
The heavens had taken pity on them. This matter in the Divine Lands had nothing to do with them!
They were also curious about what had happened in the Divine Lands.
In the end, instead of looking for Chen Luoyang from the Divine Lands, the South Chu actually came to their side.
It was true that people were at home, and the pot came from the sky.
The helpless Ancient Gods Clan could only mobilize all their forces to fight against the South Chu Empire.
“What the hell is that Chen guy doing in the Divine Lands?”
Tang Hao was flustered and exasperated, which was a rare sight. His expression seemed to have darkened a little.
Tang Gengming, who was in front of him, also looked depressed.” Xin Ming isn’t sure what happened either. He was left in Luoyang and didn’t go to Donghai.
Tang Hao sat on the chair with a gloomy face and raised a hand.
A disciple of the Ancient Gods Clan was treating the wound on his arm. One of the old man’s arms had almost been chopped off by someone. He was in an extremely sorry state.
This was a gift from the Southern Chu warriors.
The two sides had just erupted into a huge battle, and the intense battle lasted for a long time before it temporarily came to an end.
The enemy was still eyeing them covetously. After Tang Hao healed his injuries, he had to rejoin the battle according to the situation.
To him, this was an undeserved calamity. He had been happily monitoring
Chen Luoyang’s movements.
In the end, he suddenly became like this and almost lost his life.
” That doesn’t make sense. Even if he broke through to the 15th realm, even if he had a way to stay in the Divine Lands and not be rejected, he would at most be at the level of Cheng Qiyuan of the Southern Chu Kingdom. ” Tang Hao frowned.
‘ He could defeat Yuan Chen and Yan Hui at the 14th level, and he could defeat Cheng Qiyuan at the 15th level. This old man believes that, but Cheng Qiyuan isn’t the only one. With so many 15th level experts going down together, this shouldn’t be the result..
The old man was puzzled. ” The one who went down from the western paradise is that fake monk Li Yanjing. The one from the Heavenly River lineage is ‘Milky Way Sword’ Yang Xuan. In terms of strength, he isn’t inferior to Cheng Qiyuan.
With the three of them leading the way and so many helpers, no one at the fifteenth level should be able to resist.
Even if that Chen Luoyang is truly formidable and can defeat all of them by himself, does he have the ability to ensure that none of them can escape back to the mortal world alive?”
Tang Hao really could not understand.
Defeating an opponent and killing an opponent were completely different concepts.
Yes, that’s right. In the previous battle on the Snow Plateau, Chen Luoyang had also killed many opponents while outnumbered.
However, the lineup of that battle could not be compared to this one.
Moreover, the Blood River Swordsman had betrayed him, and Tu Shanyi, an expert from the Red Dust Sect, had helped to resist King Jing of South Chu.
Otherwise, the outcome of that battle would be another story.
In the current situation, was there someone who had changed sides and helped Chen Luoyang deal with Cheng Qiyuan and the others?
“Uncle, do you think it’s actually the other way around? It’s that kid with the surname Chen…Did that Chen Luoyang secretly side with South Chu?” “Southern Chu is basically a thief crying ‘catch thief Tang Gengming said hesitantly.
Tang Hao remained silent.
Perhaps someone had really changed sides.
It was just that Chen Luoyang had betrayed the Ancient Gods Clan.
The South Chu Empire betrayed the Heavenly River, the Blood River, the Western Paradise, and the Bitter Sea.
In the Divine Lands, they had conned the others together.
And Chen Luoyang had even leaked the news that the Red Dust Ancient Gods Clan’s Sect Master was in seclusion. Immediately after, the Chu Emperor personally led an expedition, using his son’s revenge as an excuse to attack the Red Dust Ancient Gods Clan.
Although Cheng Huyuan had indeed died in Chen Luoyang’s hands, was it possible for the Chu Emperor to temporarily put aside his hatred for the sake of greater benefits?
“It’s possible, but it’s unlikely.” The old man slowly said, ” Because this is like asking a tiger for its skin to Chen Luoyang. He is drinking poison to quench his thirst. After our sect encounters a fierce attack, the Chu Emperor can end him and take revenge for his son.
Tang Gengming immediately smiled bitterly. ” Then I really can’t think of anything. What ability does this Chen Luoyang have to be able to deal with so many experts by himself? ‘
As he said this, he looked at his uncle.
Tang Hao understood what he meant. He shook his head and said, “None of the elders moved. It doesn’t seem like someone went to the mortal world privately.
After all, their cultivation and strength could not compare to the sect master, so they would still be affected by the barriers that the supreme expert had set up for the world below the mortal world.
For those who weren’t at the level of the Cult Master or Emperor Chu, the stronger they were, the harder it would be for them to go down.
Even if they managed to find a way, it would not be easy to go down. From the looks of it, it wasn’t those few old men who helped Chen Luoyang.”
“It can’t really be the Cult Master, right?” When Tang Gengming heard this, the bitter smile on his face became even more pronounced.
Although he said that, his expression showed that he didn’t believe it.
The South Chu Empire and the others guessed that the Ancient Gods Clan was secretly backing Chen Luoyang up.
However, the Ancient Gods Clan knew very well that they did not intervene at all.
The Sect Master should be in seclusion right now.
If the Cult Master really came out of seclusion and helped Chen Luoyang in secret, it would be equivalent to hiding it from everyone in the Ancient Gods Clan’s headquarters.
This was completely unreasonable.
Tang Hao and Tang Gengming looked at each other and shook their heads with a bitter smile.
Previously, they had suspected that Chen Luoyang was a seedling that was secretly nurtured by an elder in the sect.
Before the current cult master ascended the throne, he also had competitors. A few of them survived until now, and they were the elders of the cult.
Among them, there might be some who were unhappy with the failure of the competition back then, so they secretly groomed a successor again and competed for the position of the new sect master.
This was not the first time something like this had happened in the sect, and there would never be a last time.
Therefore, Chen Luoyang had appeared out of nowhere and was born in a world beneath the mortal world. However, he had managed to cultivate the Divine Demon Blood in a bizarre manner. Some people guessed that he was secretly nurtured by a certain elder in the sect.
But this time, the Divine Lands was in a life-and-death situation, but the elders of the sect did not move at all.
This made Tang Hao and the other people who had doubts in their hearts mutter again.
Who was behind that young man with the surname Chen?
“I might as well tell Nan Chu everything about him.” ” It’s his own fault, ” Tang Gengming said through gritted teeth. ” He should solve it himself. Why should we bear the responsibility for him? ”
“Do you think South Chu will believe us if we tell her?” Tang Hao glanced at his nephew.
Tang Gengming sighed and closed his eyes gloomily.
The relationship between the Ancient Gods Clan and South Chu was already bad. The other party would not believe their explanation at all.
It might even have the opposite effect.
South Chu had suspected that the Ancient Gods Clan was using Chen Luoyang as bait to dig a huge pit for them.
Now that the Ancient Gods Clan was telling the South Chu Empire that it had nothing to do with them and that they could go down to the Divine Lands to find Chen Luoyang, it would be a wonder if the South Chu Empire would believe them.
” Fortunately, the Chu Emperor still cares about his reputation. Although he personally led the army, he did not personally go down. It seems that he is waiting for the Cult Master’s response. ” Tang Gengming sighed. ” However, it’s obvious that the South Chu wants to take revenge for Cheng Qiyuan and Cheng Huyuan. They even specifically chose to kill the higher-ups of our sect. We still have to inform Big Brother to be as careful as possible. It’s fine if it’s others, but if the Chu Emperor suddenly doesn’t hold back and takes action personally, it’ll be dangerous.
The Ancient Gods Clan had their own territory to protect in the mortal world. They couldn’t possibly hide in the mortal world like Chen Luoyang…
“Anyway, be careful.” ” It’s not the first time we’ve fought with South Chu, ‘
Tang Hao said slowly. ” If they want to fight, then let’s fight! ‘
Although the wording was heroic, his tone was full of depression.
This battle had been fought unjustly…
In the Mortal World, after the Blood River, the Heavenly River, the Western Paradise, and the other forces had almost dragged half of the Mortal World into the war, the South Chu and the Ancient Gods Clan had also invited their own helpers and started the war at the same time, almost dragging the other half of the Mortal World into the war as well.
The entire Mortal Dust World was in a state of war. It was a rare sight to see in many years.
In the Divine Lands, it was a rare moment of peace.
After Chen Luoyang stabilized the underground world formed by his first imperial decree, he began to study the second imperial decree that he had just obtained..
