Chapter 1402 Artifacts of Sages
Chen Yang naturally agreed with the War Lord's words.
But there was a very important matter that Chen Yang had to consider.
The War Lord's current actions were too hasty in Chen Yang's eyes.
Chen Yang indeed wanted to use the War Lord's strength to overthrow the Luo Sheng Dynasty.
But since the Luo family had already obtained so many Sage Paths, their true strength behind them was likely far beyond their imagination.
The War Lord's eagerness to confront the Luo family head-on was clearly not a suitable time.
Seeing Chen Yang's gaze, the War Lord immediately discerned Chen Yang's hesitation.
"Chen Yang, if you have any thoughts, just say them."
"Even if we are not on the same boat now, we are on the same battlefield."
"I know that the Qin family of the Tian Qin Domain has a close relationship with you."
"You are the only one who can go to the Qin family at this time."
The War Lord's thoughts had already formed a coherent line.
Since he had led his men to blockade the entire Tian Qin Domain, very few dared to break through the blockade.
He did not believe that Chen Yang had no deep connection with the Qin family.
"Luo Yunkai is determined to obtain both the Chen family and the Qin family. Relying solely on you or your Chen family, do you really think you can handle everything?"
"I have dozens of Nascent Soul realm cultivators at my disposal, and unlike the Nascent Soul realm cultivators Luo Yunkai relies on, my men are all survivors of battles."
"Only by cooperating with me will you have the greatest chance of protecting your Chen family and the hidden Qin family!"
The War Lord's words were sonorous and powerful; he truly wanted to win over Chen Yang.
Seeing the other party's attitude, Chen Yang could only shake his head with a wry smile. "War Lord, to be honest, although we have only just met, I believe your words."
"I believe you have a grudge against Luo Yunkai, and I believe you will definitely act!"
The War Lord impatiently interrupted Chen Yang, "Then why don't you choose to cooperate with me?"
"Could it be that you have already found someone to cooperate with?"
"I heard before that the Chen family had already made some contact with the Imperial Tutor Wu Yunhan, and even your sister mentioned this matter to me. Are you going to cooperate with them?"
"You'd best be careful with Wu Yunhan. If you cooperate with him, you might not even leave behind a corpse."
"Do you know why Luo Yunkai handed over all the power in the court to Wu Yunhan?"
"Because Wu Yunhan is from the Luo family, and he knows everything about the Luo family!"
"And the Luo family will protect their members from generation to generation. Their Wu family will not have any more Three Dukes, and they will stand tall forever. This rule has been in place for thousands of years."
This was the first time Chen Yang had heard of this. Previously, when he heard about the relationships within the Luo Sheng Dynasty, Chen Yang was somewhat surprised.
After all, no matter how foolish Luo Yunkai was, he knew that he couldn't control the court at the moment.
And all of this was due to his indulgence.
Now, it seemed that this was all Luo Yunkai's scheme.
"Currently, in the court, although many people seem to be restraining Luo Yunkai, in reality, they are all under Wu Yunhan's control."
"I told your sister about these matters before, but perhaps because she still didn't trust me entirely, she didn't heed my advice."
As the War Lord spoke, he stared at Chen Yang and said sternly, "Does the Chen family choose to cooperate with me, or with Wu Yunhan? Regardless of the outcome, I want to hear your answer."
If he couldn't win over the three Nascent Soul cultivators of the Chen family, he would at least win over Chen Yang.
As for Chen Ning and the head of the Chen family, the War Lord had his own plans.
These two did not fully trust him, but he could be considered a valuable asset in their hands.
No matter the outcome, the two sides would not fall out.
But there was one thing: this Chen Yang had too many secrets!
Perhaps he could use Chen Yang as a bridge to contact the Qin family!
The Qin family still had many Nascent Soul realm cultivators.
If all these people were combined, Chen Yang would become exceptionally important.
At this moment, Chen Yang hadn't thought that far ahead. He was wondering what his sister and mother were thinking.
After all, they were the ones who had been living in the Luo Sheng Dynasty all along.
Chen Yang would not easily trust the War Lord.
"I understand what you mean. If we cooperate, I think our cooperation will be very successful."
"Let me think about it. We will discuss it in detail after returning to Luo Sheng City."
The War Lord felt a bit helpless. He had said everything he could, but the final answer was like this.
However, fortunately, Chen Yang did not directly refuse.
"Alright, you can contact me anytime."
The War Lord did not tell Chen Yang how to contact him. After all, if Chen Yang truly wanted to find him, he could inquire with Chen Ning.
When the two arrived at the War Lord's encampment, the Nascent Soul realm cultivators under him looked somewhat strange.
The War Lord did not explain anything to them and instead said to Chen Yang, "I cannot go to Luo Sheng City. Luo Yunkai has people watching me!"
"And he also knows about the situation in the Tian Qin Domain. I will try to delay for some time, but I don't know how long I can hold out."
The War Lord was actually putting pressure on Chen Yang.
Hearing the implied meaning, Chen Yang chuckled and nodded before heading in the direction of Luo Sheng City.
Watching Chen Yang's receding back, the War Lord fell into deep thought.
Returning to his tent, the War Lord met with his strategist and said thoughtfully, "The person from earlier was a descendant of the Chen family, Chen Yang, Chen Ning's younger brother. He is in the Nascent Soul realm!"
"In just over a decade, the Chen family has produced three Nascent Soul realm cultivators."
"I suspect they have mastered the Sage Path."
The War Lord's strategist had a handsome face, appearing like a delicate young scholar at first glance.
However, those who truly knew this fair-faced strategist would not think so.
The combat power of this fair-faced strategist was even above the War Lord's!
The fair-faced strategist put down his folding fan and said calmly, "The Chen family's Sage Path?"
"That is a very special Sage Path. At least I have never sensed the presence of a Sage Path on Chen Ning and her mother."
"It's that young man named Chen Yang who just left; there's something about him that's hard to describe."
Seeing the War Lord's puzzled gaze, the fair-faced strategist remarked, "Luo Yunkai occupies the throne and is protected by Golden Dragon Qi, which can even prevent Sages from prying."
"And the armor you are wearing is also an artifact of a Sage, possessing the same function."
