Chapter 1400 The Key
“Of course, I am not from the Tian Qin Domain. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving.”
Chen Yang did not want to clash with the other party. The most important thing now was to return to the Luo Sheng Imperial Dynasty and take away the Chen family members.
However, just because Chen Yang was unwilling to make a move did not mean the Lord of Soldiers would agree to Chen Yang’s departure.
The Lord of Soldiers flickered and directly blocked Chen Yang’s path.
Chen Yang’s brows furrowed tightly, and he said in a deep voice, “Are you intending to make a move, sir?”
Chen Yang was not at all afraid of the other party, as they were both at the Nascent Soul realm.
“Hm? You don’t know who I am?”
The Lord of Soldiers looked at Chen Yang strangely.
Even if this person was not from the Luo Sheng Imperial Dynasty, they should have recognized him by his armor.
This young man seemed to not recognize him at all.
This truly made the Lord of Soldiers feel a sense of strangeness.
“Why should I recognize you?”
However, just as Chen Yang was about to use the Heavenly Movement Secret Art to leave, he suddenly heard the voice of the Lord of Soldiers: “I am the Lord of Soldiers of the Luo Sheng Imperial Dynasty.”
“This is the Tian Qin Domain, and the surroundings have been sealed off by my men a long time ago. You must be that mysterious person who broke out of the Luo Sheng Imperial Dynasty a few days ago, right?”
“Besides that, I cannot think of any other possibility.”
“Where did you send the people of the Tian Qin Domain?”
Chen Yang looked at the Lord of Soldiers before him, sizing him up from head to toe.
He had heard of this person’s existence when he was in the Luo Sheng Imperial Dynasty.
Not only was his strength formidable, but he also commanded quite a few Nascent Soul realm cultivators.
Even Luo Yunkai of the Luo Sheng Imperial Dynasty did not dare to deal with him directly.
When dealing with the Tian Qin Domain, the Nascent Soul realm cultivators under the Lord of Soldiers were his entire force, a force that even Luo Yunkai could not control.
“Hm? You and I are both at the Nascent Soul realm. Are you sure you want to fight me?”
“If I recall correctly, you were also not interested in dealing with the Tian Qin Domain, right?”
“Even if the disappearance of these people from the Tian Qin Domain is related to me, so what?”
“Luo Yunkai’s objective has nothing to do with these ordinary members of the Qin family. Or, do you want to obtain these things behind Luo Yunkai’s back?”
Chen Yang’s mind suddenly flashed with a thought: why could the Lord of Soldiers be so unrestrained in the Luo Sheng Imperial Dynasty? Was it because of his Nascent Soul realm cultivation?
No!
It was because this person’s bloodline was very special!
Chen Yang had learned some things about the Lord of Soldiers from his sister before. The Chen family, back then, was like him, a blade in the hands of the Luo Sheng Imperial Dynasty!
It was very likely that they also possessed a Saint bloodline.
The people behind the Lord of Soldiers supported him precisely because of this connection!
This was also why the Lord of Soldiers wanted to win over the Chen family.
“Actually, I don’t want to fight you. You helped my sister, which means you helped me.”
“If you truly want to obtain the Qin family’s Saint Path, honestly, I can’t help you, because if such a thing truly existed, I would have taken it myself.”
Chen Yang had no intention of fighting him, because this person could be used as a pawn!
With so much power at the disposal of the Lord of Soldiers, wouldn’t it be a wonderful thing if all of it were used to deal with Luo Yunkai?
As soon as these words were spoken, the gaze of the Lord of Soldiers towards Chen Yang changed.
He had a feeling that this young man looked familiar!
The Lord of Soldiers rarely interacted with outsiders. If anyone had been helped recently, it seemed to be only Chen Ning.
“Are you from the Chen family?”
“Is Chen Ning your sister?”
“I’ve never heard her mention you before.”
There was a hint of surprise in the Lord of Soldiers’ tone. After all, Chen Yang was now considered a force under his command. Two Nascent Soul realm cultivators were no small matter!
“Yes, we haven’t been together all these years, and I only returned not long ago.”
“I’m going to the Chen family now, why don’t you come back with me?”
“No one can stop what happens in the Tian Qin Domain.”
“If you don’t want to lose your life here, it’s best to leave with me!”
As Chen Yang spoke, his gaze inadvertently swept towards the ancestral mansion in the distance.
The spiritual power of the Qin family saint was still there!
The Lord of Soldiers was someone Chen Yang wanted to win over. Chen Yang’s words were clear; he hoped the Qin family saint would preferably not make a move.
The Qin family saint, who was within the scroll world, heard this and couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
At this moment, the bronze coffin had already emerged from the water, but its ancient aura had not spread out.
The Qin family saint sighed and said, “See? This brat is talking to me!”
“I am a dignified saint, and never has anyone below the saint realm dared to speak to me like this.”
“It’s only your son; if it were anyone else, I would have thrashed them long ago!”
As his memory recovered, the Qin family saint had already recognized the person inside the bronze coffin as the Chen family saint.
Although he didn’t know if it was the main body or something else, it was definitely related to the Chen family.
The Lord of Soldiers, standing opposite Chen Yang, scanned the entire Tian Qin Domain with his spiritual power and indeed found no signs of life.
Although he didn’t know how Chen Yang had done it, Chen Yang was the key.
Only Chen Yang could unravel this mystery!
“Since you’re going to the Chen family, then I’ll return with you.”
As for what had happened in the Tian Qin Domain, the Lord of Soldiers was naturally curious, but he was not worried that the other party would not tell him.
When it came down to it, they were on the same side.
On the way back, the Lord of Soldiers inquired about another matter.
“Who told you about the Qin family’s Saint Path?”
“Luo Yunkai wants to compete for the Saint Path, and it seems only a few people know about it, right?”
“Could it be that your Chen family received this news a long time ago? Your sister never mentioned it to me before!”
The Lord of Soldiers had many doubts, but the biggest one was the Saint Path.
The Luo family had been collecting Saint Paths scattered across various regions for many years.
Even a fragmented Saint Path could allow a person to become a saint.
This kind of power was something everyone yearned for!
And no one knew how many the Luo family had collected by now!
Therefore, the Lord of Soldiers wanted to contend for the Qin family’s Saint Path.
This was precisely why he had been surrounding it without attacking and disobeying Luo Yunkai’s orders.
Throughout the Luo Sheng Imperial Dynasty, the only one who likely knew about the Saint Path was the Imperial Tutor Wu Yunhan!
The Chen family, having declined for hundreds of years, should not have known about this matter.
Chen Yang smiled and said, “My sister Chen Ning indeed doesn’t know about these things. The reason I know about the Saint Path is because my Chen family is a Saint lineage.”
The Lord of Soldiers’ mind instantly cleared: “So that’s how it is. No wonder Luo Yunkai has been so eager to arrange the marriage, even more so than the Qin family matter!”
