"Eight-generation Immortal… a man-eating old monster who has lived for ten thousand years…"
Emperor Yan, Zhou Fangzun, and Xi Butui all wore solemn expressions.
Even Gong Liexian trembled upon hearing this. She had never imagined that a martial artist could eat people and live for ten thousand years!
Zhou Fangzun's expression was somewhat grim: "No wonder King Yan only managed to repel this old monster and not kill it…"
Chen Jiuyang's revelation of Lian Sheng Lao Mu's origin drew the attention of these Human Kings.
"This old monster, in the current world, no one can kill her except Wu Mu…" Chen Jiuyang stated frankly.
"However, she cannot enter the Dragon Country, so there is no need to worry too much."
Emperor Yan nodded slightly: "Thank you for informing us. From now on, we will know how to guard against this old demon."
"I did not expect to find a hidden talent like you among the common folk."
"King Yan, you are too polite." Chen Jiuyang said with a smile, "I happen to have something to ask King Yan for help with."
"What is it? Please, speak freely…"
"I am fond of Han Shiyi Qiu, the daughter of the Han clan from the True Demon Sect in Suhang. I wish to ask King Yan to act as a matchmaker, to have the True Demon Sect's Han clan expel this daughter from the clan and marry her to me." Chen Jiuyang thought of a way to win over Yi Han and have the Han clan promote another Saintess.
The Heavenly Charm Sacred Body, from the moment of its birth, was the Saintess of the True Demon Sect. The current True Demon Sect was merely a few insignificant entities, but once the Dragon Country's destiny revived, it would be different.
Chen Jiuyang was thinking ten steps ahead, solidifying this matter so that it would not cause any further ripples.
After the spiritual energy revived, Emperor Yan remained very strong. After much consideration, Chen Jiuyang chose to let Emperor Yan take the blame.
Emperor Yan's expression was slightly taken aback. Was it just for this matter?
Zhou Fangzun and Xi Butui's eyes flickered.
Chen Jiuyang smiled and said, "I only ask for this matter, I trouble King Yan."
"Alright, I will handle this for you." King Yan said, "You just wait for the news."
Then he stood in place, ascended, and left in a helicopter.
Only then did Zhou Fangzun speak: "Next, it's our turn to talk."
"How did you know about that matter?"
First, Chen Jiuyang had leveraged King Yan's influence, then his investigation into the Suhang matter had yielded clues, and now this incident. Zhou Fangzun felt that Chen Jiuyang was very mysterious.
Chen Jiuyang said, "King Zhennan, this matter cannot be discussed further. What has passed is past."
"In the future, you and I will have more dealings. Also, your noble son is quite arrogant in his actions; it would be best to discipline him."
"?" Zhou Fangzun.
Why, out of the blue, was his son being mentioned?
Zhou Fangzun looked at Chen Jiuyang deeply: "Fine, you were able to save King Gong and pass King Yan's test. For now, I believe you."
He had misjudged Chen Jiuyang's identity, thinking Chen Jiuyang was King Yan's disciple, but it turned out he wasn't. This made things even more troublesome. This time, by saving King Gong, both King Gong and King Yan would owe Chen Jiuyang a favor, and he himself would also owe Chen Jiuyang a favor.
After some thought, before leaving, he instructed Xi Butui: "Try not to make an enemy of this person."
Then he also flew away in a helicopter.
Chen Jiuyang looked at Gong Liexian and said, "There are a large number of martial artists from the Seal God Country潜入ing into City 318, seemingly intending to cause trouble. King Yan's trip this time might serve as a deterrent, but City 318 is also very prone to disaster."
"Now that King Gong has woken up, you can return as soon as possible to sort out internal affairs in City 318."
Gong Liexian's expression tensed. She cupped her fists and bowed to Chen Jiuyang: "This matter… I have not heard of it, but I believe Mr. Chen would not deceive or harm us. Liexian will now take my father back to City 318!"
Whether King Gong could wake up was the most important matter. For his subsequent recovery, good medicinal pills would naturally be sent to compensate.
Afterward, Gong Liexian also left, leaving only Chen Jiuyang and Xi Butui at the scene.
Chen Jiuyang said, "Chief Constable Xi, why are you still here? Is there anything else?"
Xi Butui asked, "Who exactly are you?"
Chen Jiuyang chuckled, "I am merely a vulgar person who is greedy for wealth and lustful. Chief Constable Xi and I should mind our own business, and we will have fewer dealings in the future."
"Nonsense." Xi Butui did not believe Chen Jiuyang's words at all. He waved his hand and left the Yao family with his men.
He now had to completely resolve the matter of the Nine Yin Devouring Yang Array and restore vitality to the Yao family.
With this matter settled, Chen Jiuyang would have no more pressing matters for a while. Having returned from rebirth, he had gained the favor of King Gong, King Yan, and Zhou Fangzun through this incident.
The matters concerning his several confidantes were also being handled in an orderly fashion.
As for that girl Yi Han, he would have to wait a few more days to see her. Once King Yan had handled the matter and removed the people from the demonic sects around Yi Han, clarifying the karma, it would be better for Chen Jiuyang to approach that girl.
For now, with some matters settled, it was time to go to the Han clan's forbidden area in Suhang to obtain the Yan Sheng Saber.
Chen Jiuyang immediately booked a flight to Suhang and then headed to Suhang.
Exiting Suhang Airport, he took a taxi to the remote Han clan's territory.
Outside the quiet and secluded Han clan's forbidden area, Chen Jiuyang cast a spell and then slipped through a loophole in the Han clan's forbidden area, sneaking in.
Returning to the Han clan's forbidden area, Chen Jiuyang felt a mix of complex emotions.
He was also pondering how he had become the tribulation-causer for the Heavenly Charm Sacred Body.
It seemed to be because Yi Han had recognized him before her awakening, and also because he could wield the Yan Sheng Saber.
If his guess was correct, Yan Sheng must have possessed a 'path' within him, which allowed him to kill people and devour life essence in his previous life, rapidly increasing his cultivation in a short period.
In this life, he intended to remove this path and also alter Yan Sheng's appearance and form, so that no one would recognize him as the tribulation-causer of Yi Han.
Skillfully avoiding the dangers within the Han clan's forbidden area, he arrived at the island in the center of the lake.
A section of the mountaintop had been cut out, allowing sunlight to penetrate and nourish the lush vegetation within.
The mountain walls were carved with numerous characters and paintings, but they were obscure and difficult to understand. Chen Jiuyang surveyed the surroundings.
In the center of the mountain was a small wooden house, and in front of the wooden house grew a peach tree of unknown age.
There was a stove, a stone table, and stone chairs.
It seemed that hundreds or thousands of years ago, someone had lived here for a period.
Chen Jiuyang slowly walked forward, reached the front of the wooden house, and pushed open the wooden door.
As in his previous life, he touched the jade slip.
Chen Jiuyang reached out to touch the jade slip.
"Rumble!"
The spiritual power within Chen Jiuyang was being frantically devoured by the jade slip.
A moment later, a young man in a black robe, with long hair cascading over his shoulders, and a handsome, devilishly charming appearance, emerged from the jade slip and sat on a futon on the tea table. His eyes looked at Chen Jiuyang with a hint of complexity, and his voice was calm: "Are you the tribulation-causer of the current Heavenly Charm Body?"
"Indeed." Chen Jiuyang nodded slightly.
"Since you are the tribulation-causer of the Heavenly Charm Body, please have a seat." The phantom of the devilishly charming man made an inviting gesture.
