Upon hearing that voice, the body of the Otherworldly Demon stiffened, and his body trembled uncontrollably. He hurriedly raised his head.
"You are … my teacher?"
This voice was simply too familiar to him. It had appeared in his dreams day and night, so he knew who it belonged to!
"That's right. How did you become an Otherworldly Demon? Why are you here? "
Zhang Xuan frowned in bewilderment.
The Otherworldly Demon before him had disguised himself well, and the killing intent emanating from him seemed to be pure and authentic. However, with his Eye of Insight, he could tell with a single glance that the other party was the student who had left the Qingyuan Empire without bidding farewell, Liu Yang!
Due to the other outstanding students of his, the other party had been unable to withstand the pressure and left without bidding farewell. Zhang Xuan had asked Zhao Ya, Zheng Yang, and the others to send men from the Glacier Plain Court, Combat Master Hall, and even Mingshi Tang to look for him, but there had been no news at all.
Who could have thought that he would be taken in as Wu Chen's student and brought to the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe?
"I'll talk to teacher about this matter later. Sovereign Chen Yong doesn't know of my true identity, so I'll have to ask teacher to keep it a secret for me," Liu Yang said telepathically.
"Un." Zhang Xuan nodded.
He could tell what was going on, so he had only sent a telepathic message to Zhang Xuan.
"You know each other?"
Even though the two of them were communicating telepathically with one another, Wu Chen still noticed something amiss, and a hint of doubt surfaced on his face.
"It's just that I think that your student possesses extraordinary talent, so I secretly asked him about some cultivation problems," Zhang Xuan replied with a smile.
"Problems with cultivation?" Wu Chen was taken aback for a moment, but seeing that Zhang Xuan was unwilling to talk about it, he decided not to pursue the matter any further. Instead, he asked, "What's the current situation in the city?"
This was what he was most concerned about at the moment.
"Sovereign Chen Ling and Sovereign Chen Xing returned to the city a month ago, and they announced to the world that you have been killed by the humans, and they have sustained injuries as well. Currently, Your Majesty's army is under their control, and many of the powerful generals have been replaced. Even if they were to return, it would be impossible for them to follow your orders!"
Liu Yang said.
Wu Chen's face turned livid. He did not think that the two Sovereigns would really cut off all of his escape routes.
"Where are the generals who have been replaced?"
These people were all experts loyal to him. If he could find them, he might have a chance to turn the tables.
"After they were transferred out of the army, they were all murdered within a month. All of them … are gone!"
Liu Yang said.
"Killed?" Wu Chen's body swayed.
He knew that this Spirit Emperor was ruthless, but he didn't expect him to be this ruthless!
This was really cutting the weeds and pulling out the roots, not leaving him any chance at all.
"How are the two of them right now?" Wu Chen calmed the anger in his chest and continued to ask.
The two of them had been severely injured by his sneak attack. Even though their injuries were not as severe as his, their foundations had definitely been damaged. It would not be easy for them to recover.
As long as he was injured, there was a chance.
To put it bluntly, at their level, one's own strength was the most important thing. The so-called military and political power were all nothing.
As long as he could kill these two traitors and announce his return, wouldn't his subordinates be obedient again?
"I'm unable to find out anything about their physical condition at the moment. Their physical condition is a top secret at the moment …" Liu Yang shook his head.
Wu Chen wasn't surprised. If such a secret could be found out so easily, the two of them wouldn't have put him in such a difficult position.
Turning his gaze back to Zhang Xuan, he said, "You should know roughly how many Ancient Sages they have in their ranks, right?"
In order to ensure that he was still alive, Sovereign Chen Ling and Sovereign Chen Xing would surely try to win over a large number of Ancient Sages.
This was the crux of their strength.
"Based on the news I have gathered, King Ji, King Huai, King Hegemon, and the other Kings have been recruited into their faction, and they will listen to their commands …"
Liu Yang said.
"King Ji, King Huai, and King Hegemon? Humph! "Wu Chen flung his arm.
There were fourteen Kings under the Three Sovereigns of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe. King Ji, King Huai, and the others were the strongest of them all. Every single one of them had reached Ancient Sage, and the strongest of them had even reached Blood Reincarnation realm!
As they were vassal kings, they usually didn't follow orders. Who could have thought that they would be colluding with Sovereign Chen Ling and Sovereign Chen Xing?
"Eight Kings and two Sovereigns are equivalent to ten Ancient Sages … Your Majesty, you mustn't act recklessly, or else you will be in grave danger!"
Liu Yang said anxiously.
If Sovereign Chen Yong was at his peak, he might not have dared to make a move against ten Ancient Sages, but in his current state … if he were to make a move against them, the one who would die would surely be Sovereign Chen Yong.
"I know," Wu Chen replied with a deep frown on his forehead.
He had returned to exact vengeance, but the other party had gathered so many Ancient Sages. In his current state, if he were to make a move against them, he would be walking right into the jaws of a tiger.
"I'm going to the Primal Lodestone Mountain!"
Wu Chen said after a moment of silence.
"Primal Lodestone Mountain?" Liu Yang asked doubtfully.
Since he was already here, why would he head to such a place instead of trying to seize power?
The Primal Lodestone Mountain was one of the treacherous lands of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe. Even when Sovereign Chen Yong was at his peak, he would not have dared to venture there.
"Indeed. The Primal Lodestone Mountain is indeed a treacherous land, but it's also where Ancient Sage Hao Xun cultivates. I can only wait and see if he'll lend me a hand or not … His strength is comparable to mine when I was at my peak. Only if he makes a move will I stand a chance!"
Wu Chen paused for a moment before replying.
Given his current strength, it was impossible for him to defeat ten Ancient Sages. Thus, he could only seek help from others.
"Ancient Sage Hao Xun? I've heard of that Ancient Sage before. Didn't he die three thousand years ago? "
Liu Yang asked in astonishment.
"He didn't die. Instead, he entered the depths of the Primal Lodestone Mountain and never came out. Back then, he was already on par with me, but no one knows how powerful he is now. Perhaps, he might have already surpassed the Blood Reincarnation realm! "
Wu Chen nodded.
"Since he's unwilling to come out, it should be difficult to get him to help us, right?"
The fact that Ancient Sage Hao Xun has been in hiding for three thousand years shows that he doesn't want to get involved in worldly affairs. Even if you were at your peak, you might not be able to get him to come out.
"Even if it's difficult, we'll have to get him to come out. Otherwise, we'll be doomed. Even you won't be able to save us!"
Wu Chen shook his head.
If Ancient Sage Hao Xun were to die, everyone in Sovereign Chen Yong's lineage would be massacred. Thus, there was no time for hesitation.
"Wu Chen is right. Where is the Primal Lodestone Mountain? What do we have to do to get him to come out? "
Zhang Xuan asked.
In order to ensure the long-term stability of mankind and find Lozosy, Sovereign Chen Ling and Sovereign Chen Xing had to die. Since they had followed Ancient Sage Hao Xun all the way here, there was no turning back.
"The Primal Lodestone Mountain is around a hundred thousand li away from here. It's not too far away, so it won't take long for us to make a return trip. However, Ancient Sage Hao Xun has an eccentric personality, so I'm afraid that it won't be easy to persuade him!"
Wu Chen said as he rubbed his glabella.
