Xiao Chen's uncle was an almighty at the Dao Emperor Realm. When Du Chengfeng said that the Heaven Scorching Ruler was an almighty at the Dao Emperor Realm, Chu Wuming's expression instantly changed greatly when he heard this.
He looked at Du Chengfeng with an expression of disbelief as he said, "An almighty at the Dao Emperor Realm? Elder Du, you can't speak carelessly like this. Are you sure? "
Chu Wuming naturally trusted Du Chengfeng completely because Du Chengfeng was his savior. Moreover, Du Chengfeng had always been loyal and devoted to him, so Du Chengfeng naturally wouldn't deceive him. However, Chu Wuming still found it difficult to accept that Xiao Chen's uncle was an almighty at the Dao Emperor Realm. How could this be possible? How could an almighty at the Dao Emperor Realm appear in a place like Xiao Chen's Moontrace City?
When faced with Chu Wuming's surprise, Du Chengfeng felt the same in his heart as well, and he forcefully suppressed the shock in his heart as he spoke to Chu Wuming.
"Your Highness, I'm 100% sure that Xiao Chen's uncle is absolutely an almighty at the Dao Emperor Realm. As for the shock and bewilderment in Your Highness's heart, I don't think it's strange at all. Young Master Xiao Chen had revealed earlier that he and his uncle are independent cultivators that wander the world."
"At the beginning, I was curious as to how Young Master Xiao Chen could possess such combat strength since he's an independent cultivator. Without the fostering of a sect, the combat strength of independent cultivators is generally on the weaker side when compared to cultivators at the same cultivation realm. However, now it would seem like this bewilderment can be explained. With an uncle at the Dao Emperor Realm personally fostering him, it's not strange that Young Master Xiao Chen's combat strength is so formidable."
Needless to say, Du Chengfeng's words had unknowingly helped Xiao Chen greatly. As soon as these words were spoken, the last bit of bewilderment in Chu Wuming's heart instantly vanished into nothingness.
A wisp of excitement instantly appeared in his eyes. As someone who wasn't willing to admit defeat in the battle for Crown Prince, Chu Wuming naturally understood what the appearance of the Heaven Scorching Ruler meant. If he was able to obtain the support of the Heaven Scorching Ruler, then Chu Wuming would obviously possess the ability to go against his two older brothers.
Chu Wuming forcefully suppressed the excitement in his heart as he looked at Du Chengfeng and said. "Elder Du Chengfeng, what do you think I should do now?"
"Young Master, didn't you already make your decision?" Du Chengfeng replied with a smile when he heard Chu Wuming's words. He wanted Chu Wuming to rope in the Heavenly Stellar Residence and Venerable Heaven Scorching Ruler because Chu Wuming's current situation really required the protection of a Dao Emperor Realm expert.
He never expected that he would actually obtain such a harvest. If he was really able to rope in the Heaven Scorching Ruler, then not only would Chu Wuming possess the support of a Dao Emperor Realm expert, more importantly, if he was able to rope in a Dao Emperor Realm expert to join the Moonless Empire's imperial family, then it would absolutely be a great merit to him. In this way, Chu Wuming's hopes in the following battles would be slightly greater.
When Chu Wuming thought about how his father would definitely praise him if he were to introduce the Heaven Scorching Ruler to him in the future, his heart burned with passion. However, he quickly forced himself to calm down and immediately realized a problem. He looked at Du Chengfeng and said with some worry.
"But Brother Xiao Chen didn't specially introduce me to his uncle today. In this way, I wonder if Brother Xiao Chen will have some …"
Xiao Chen didn't take the initiative to introduce the Heaven Scorching Ruler to Chu Wuming. Chu Wuming was naturally worried about this. Would Xiao Chen not want him to have too much contact with the Heaven Scorching Ruler? If Xiao Chen wasn't willing, then his hopes of roping in the Heaven Scorching Ruler would become extremely slim. After all, Xiao Chen was the Heaven Scorching Ruler's nephew, and the two of them were originally family.
Du Chengfeng spoke with a solemn expression when he heard Chu Wuming's worry.
"So Your Highness can't be too hasty. You must know that any almighty Dao Emperor is an overlord of an area. If Half-Saints and Saints don't appear, then almighty Dao Emperors are invincible existences. I've fought all over in my life, and I've seen some almighty Dao Emperors in Danyang County. Every single one of them has their own temperament, so roping in a Dao Emperor isn't an easy task."
It was absolutely not easy to rope in a Dao Emperor Realm expert, and this was something that was beyond doubt. Chu Wuming's face dimmed down slightly when he heard Du Chengfeng. Right, how could a Dao Emperor Realm expert be so easily roped in by me? I was too excited earlier, and that was why I overlooked such an important problem.
Du Chengfeng continued when he noticed the sense of loss in Chu Wuming's heart.
"Your Highness, there's no need for that. If it was under normal circumstances, it would indeed be extremely difficult for Your Highness to rope in a Dao Emperor Realm expert. However, the situation at the Heavenly Stellar Residence is different. Moreover, Your Highness can't directly come into contact with Xiao Chen's uncle. The crux of roping in a Dao Emperor Realm expert is Young Master Xiao Chen. Your Highness must understand this."
Chu Wuming could only rely on Xiao Chen if he wanted to rope in the Heaven Scorching Ruler. He could only make the Heaven Scorching Ruler lend him a hand by having a good relationship with Xiao Chen.
There were some things that the Heaven Scorching Ruler obviously wouldn't care about if Chu Wuming said it. However, if Xiao Chen mentioned it, the Heaven Scorching Ruler might agree. It was just like asking the Heaven Scorching Ruler to help Chu Wuming. If it was Xiao Chen who said it, it would obviously have a much better effect than Chu Wuming.
A wisp of great joy appeared on his face as he said, "Elder Du is right. I'll stay in Moontrace City for the next few days. However, there's one thing that I hope Elder Du can personally handle. Immediately return to the Imperial Capital and bring all the treasures that I've collected. I want to gift them to Brother Xiao Chen to express my sincerity."
In order to rope in the Heaven Scorching Ruler, Chu Wuming was obviously burning his bridges. This was his only hope, his only hope to continue dealing with his two older brothers.
When he heard Chu Wuming's words, Du Chengfeng nodded in response and didn't say anything else. If it was anyone else, Chu Wuming would definitely not agree to take out all his belongings. However, the Heaven Scorching Ruler was an almighty Dao Emperor. He was worthy of this price. Moreover, compared to an almighty Dao Emperor, Chu Wuming's treasures were indeed nothing.
They immediately set off for the Imperial Capital. After sending off Du Chengfeng, Chu Wuming suddenly thought of Wu De. He knew that Wu De had once wanted to kill Xiao Chen. At this moment, Chu Wuming's face sank as he said, "This Wu Clan is simply courting death. Even Brother Xiao Chen was touched. Men, surround the Wu Clan. This King wants to personally make a trip to the Wu Clan. I want to see exactly what kind of courage this tiny Wu Clan has to make a move against Brother Xiao Chen."
Previously, Chu Wuming had taken a fancy to Xiao Chen, but it hadn't reached the point where he couldn't give up. However, it was different now. Xiao Chen's uncle was an almighty Dao Emperor. This was a completely different concept.
He was afraid that Wu Yun would mess things up and cause Xiao Chen to be displeased. So, Chu Wuming intended to personally take a look at the Wu Clan. If Wu Yun was unable to satisfy Xiao Chen, then Chu Wuming would absolutely not hesitate to annihilate the entire Wu Clan in order to curry favor with Xiao Chen.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that the current Xiao Chen was sufficient to make Chu Wuming pay any price besides his life. No matter what, Chu Wuming had to obtain Xiao Chen and obtain the support of the Heavenly Stellar Residence.
