“Brother Chen.”

“Brother Chen.”

When Chen Yuan walked in, Zhang Xuan and Shangguan Yu quickly stood up.

Chen Yuan waved his hand, signaling for them to sit down.

After the Immortal Battle had concluded, most of the talents from the Hidden Dragon List had progressively left Martial Emperor City, except for the Shangguan siblings and Zhang Xuan who stayed to face the troubles ahead with him.

Although Chen Yuan had already stated confidently that he could withstand it, Zhang Xuan and Shangguan Yu were still somewhat worried.

During their casual conversation, Chen Yuan told them that he had left earlier due to some matters, though he did not elaborate on the details, but both Shangguan Yu and Zhang Xuan understood.

It was certain that Chen Yuan had left to obtain the Ascending Immortal Fruit.

“When does Brother Chen plan to leave Martial Emperor City?” Shangguan Yu asked anxiously.

“Tomorrow, I suppose.”

With the Ascending Immortal Fruit in hand, the matters of Martial Emperor City could be considered completely finished.

Next would be resolving those lingering threats.

Su Ziyue had visited him earlier, and now even though she seemed to have disappeared without a trace, he had some suspicions that, if nothing unexpected occurred, the people from the Taoist Divine Palace were already prepared.

And he, to avoid protracted nights bringing more dreams, also wanted to eliminate those who were hostile towards him with the help of the Divine Palace before his Core Formation, be it Qingyun Sword Sect, Yun Family, or even the Gu Family, all were included.

Zhang Xuan hesitated in his eyes and once more began to persuade:

“Brother Chen, isn’t this a bit too hasty?”

“Speak plainly, Brother Zhang.”

“Not to hide from Brother Chen, I’ve received a letter from my father, the court has already learned about your feud with the Gu Family, and His Majesty, through the Imperial Factory, has sent a message to the Gu Family.

If they dare to make a move against you, the court will undoubtedly not let it go.”

“But this should not be relied upon as support; even if the Gu Family doesn’t act overtly, they might still use others, perhaps even people from the Seven Killings Hall, to strike at you,

The matter of leaving the city must be approached with caution. My father is currently handling affairs in other state offices, and as it stands, he’s almost done; just seven more days,

and my father will be able to reach Martial Emperor City.”

Zhang Xuan paused for a moment, then continued:

“With my father’s protection, Brother Chen can be worry-free. I know Brother Chen is too proud to rely on such things, but as the saying goes, ‘a gentleman can wait ten years to take his revenge.’

With your talents, Brother Chen, just a few years of dedicated cultivation, and the Gu Family will no longer be a threat to you.”

Shangguan Yu seconded:

“Brother Zhang makes sense, Brother Chen, think it over.”

They were not afraid of death, but they did not want to die in vain. Although Chen Yuan was currently the top talent of the Hidden Dragon List and could rival a Grandmaster, what if the opponent sent a Yang Transformation True Master?

Could he still withstand it then?

Chen Yuan smiled upon hearing this, looking at them intently:

“Do you two believe that the only ones wanting to act against Chen are from the Gu Family?”

“What do you mean by that, Brother Chen?”

“Are there others wanting to take action against Brother Chen?”

Chen Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, looking out the window of the Ascending Immortal Tower at the crowd below, and spoke lightly:

“According to the intelligence I’ve gathered, the Qingyun Sword Sect and the Yun Family have already joined hands to completely eradicate me, to avoid leaving trouble for the future,

The Gu Family… is just one of them.”

“What!”

Zhang Xuan’s eyes sharpened in surprise.

To think that Chen Yuan had stirred up so many powers, he had heard some rumors about the affair with the Yun Family, knowing that Chen Yuan had directly killed Yun Han, the direct descendant of the Yun Family, thereby forging a vendetta.

Previously, there had even been rumors about an ambush against Chen Yuan, but it ended without incident.

Unexpectedly, such a deadly scheme was brewing.

Ironically, both Qingyun Sword Sect and the Yun Family were prominent forces in Jianghu, with a Yang Transformation True Master guarding their gates, capable of dealing with a Reach Profound Martial Artist from the Lower Three Realms; now, however, they had to join forces.

If this got out, it would certainly be laughed off by others.

But upon reflection, it seemed not unreasonable. Chen Yuan was not a rootless weed among the loose cultivators; not only had he caught the eye of Emperor Jingtai as a court official,

but he also had backing.

Not to mention Jiang He, the Golden Envoy of Qingzhou, just the appearance of that Yang Transformation True Master at Mengze Mountain was enough to astonish many, even though there were rumors that the True Master was a precaution Chen Yuan had arranged through the Seven Killings Hall in advance.

To some, it seemed not so, feeling that there must be other powers behind Chen Yuan.

If the Yun Family and Qingyun Sword Sect took action, they would surely consider this aspect, and teaming up to eliminate Chen Yuan, who was subtly becoming a major threat, was not surprising.

Hearing Chen Yuan mention the Yun Family, Shangguan Yu, his good brother, flashed a hint of shame on his face; ultimately, Chen Yuan’s feud with the Yun Family was largely because of him.

Chen Yuan had forged such enmity for him, and yet he had no means to mobilize his family’s power to resolve it; he had also contacted his family elders during these three days.

But his father was unwilling to help, feeling that Chen Yuan’s actions were overly harsh and constantly claimed to be avenging Shangguan Yu, which was somewhat improper.

Upset, Shangguan Yu had argued with his father, who eventually agreed only to help Chen Yuan settle the feud with the Yun Family as far as he could.

As for the Gu Family,

this leading family among the Five Great Families was not likely to show such consideration for the Shangguan Family.

Unable to get much help from his family and lacking in strength himself, Shangguan Yu truly felt deeply ashamed; eventually, ignoring his family’s advice, he decided to face the incoming enemies with Chen Yuan.

This world, after all, still relies on strength to speak; the Shangguan Family’s strength was less than that of the Gu Family, even inferior to the Yun Family, naturally they didn’t have much say.
