Geniuses Remember Love in One Second? We provide you with wonderful novels to read.

(The Mid-Autumn Festival is here. The Dominator of Six Realms wishes the brothers a happy and healthy family reunion. As for the Dominator of Six Realms, it is said that the biggest typhoon since the founding of the country is coming.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. It was quiet and serene.

The bonfire burned fiercely, and the light from the fire illuminated the area for hundreds of meters.

"The Third Prince is a man of great talent and vision. He is the best candidate to be the Crown Prince." Yang Sanchi said. His face was dark and gloomy under the illumination of the bonfire.

"Not only is the Third Prince's talent outstanding, but his knowledge and experience are also incomparable to ordinary people. He is also ambitious. If he becomes the Emperor of the dynasty in the future, he will definitely make the dynasty even stronger. Who knows, he might even be able to conquer the two neighboring regions and make them our Longtu Dynasty's territory." Long Gang added.

"Vice Commander Chen, the Third Prince is a wise ruler." Long Tie said to Chen Zong as if he was concluding.

In the first half of the month, the three of them isolated Chen Zong. Then they changed their attitude. Since Yang Sanchi took the initiative to send roasted deer legs to Chen Zong, the three of them would take the initiative to talk to Chen Zong from time to time. They talked casually with Chen Zong and slowly talked about the Third Prince. In short, they were trying their best to say good things about the Third Prince.

Gradually, Chen Zong also understood that this was probably the Third Prince's instruction.

First, they targeted him and isolated him. Then, they took the initiative to approach him and make him feel flattered. These were all tricks. Unfortunately, regardless of whether he was isolated or approached, Chen Zong was not affected in the slightest. Just like the willow branch, it swayed in the wind and remained silent, unaffected by the outside world.

Chen Zong's attitude made Long Tie and the other two very angry, but there was nothing they could do about it.

That's right, they had received the Third Prince's instructions. The Third Prince had wanted to get rid of Chen Zong before, but changed his mind later on. He felt that it was better to subdue Chen Zong rather than get rid of him. This was because Chen Zong's talent was indeed astonishing. If he could sincerely submit to the Third Prince, he would be a great help.

Moreover, if Chen Zong submitted to the Third Prince, it would also be a blow to the Ninth Prince to a certain extent.

Because of this, the Third Prince had used many connections in secret and finally had the Emperor issue an imperial edict to make Chen Zong the Dragonteeth Guard's vice Commander...

In the Third Prince's eyes, making Chen Zong the vice commander of the Dragonteeth Guard was giving Chen Zong enormous benefits. He naturally couldn't do it so easily, or else he wouldn't cherish it. On the contrary, he had to think of ways to attack Chen Zong within a certain range and grind away at Chen Zong's edges, making it easier to subdue him.

All in all, everything that had happened now was the Third Prince's efforts to thoroughly subdue Chen Zong. One had to say, the Third Prince had put in a lot of effort, but unfortunately, the results hadn't been obvious.

Of course, the Third Prince had also instructed that if they really couldn't convince Chen Zong, then they had to find an opportunity to get rid of Chen Zong. This was also why Chen Zong had come out to carry out this mission. It was always more secretive to get rid of him in a place far away from the capital.

In the blink of an eye, the second half of the month had passed. The three repeatedly praised the Third Prince, but unfortunately, Chen Zong wasn't moved. They had also arrived at their destination.

The Ascending Heaven Region was adjacent to the western part of the Longtu Region. Its name meant to reach the heavens in a single step. It was rumored that in ancient times, a peerless genius had appeared in this region. In a short period of time, he had gone from an ordinary person to a Transcendent Realm cultivator. He had skyrocketed and became a Sky Profound Realm Martial Emperor. It was a classic example of reaching the heavens in a single step.

There was a city adjacent to the Ascending Heaven Region called Ascending Dragon City. It wasn't under the jurisdiction of the Longtu Region or the Ascending Heaven Region.

In fact, a long time ago, the two regions had fought several wars over the sovereignty of Ascending Dragon City. The casualties were heavy, and Ascending Dragon City had been destroyed many times. It had been rebuilt again and again. Later, the two regions began to trade.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page.)

They came up with a plan, which was to each take charge of the city for a period of ten years.

As for who would take charge first, it was decided after a series of battles.

This lasted for more than a hundred years, but every time it was the turn of the other regions to take charge, they would take the opportunity to plunder the resources of Ascending Dragon City as much as possible, making it difficult for the other regions to gain any benefits. In the long run, the benefits to Ascending Dragon City were huge, to the point of being fatal. It also caused many people from the two regions to be dissatisfied, and conflicts inevitably broke out again.

In the end, the two regions reached a consensus after many negotiations. They decided to make Ascending Dragon City an independent city of the two regions. It would also serve as a bridge between the two regions.

On the surface, Ascending Dragon City was indeed no longer under the jurisdiction of the two regions. There were also rules that forbade the forces of the two regions from directly entering the city. However, the various forces in Ascending Dragon City were inextricably linked to the forces of the two regions.

Ascending Dragon City looked very big, but it was relatively new because it had been rebuilt after many wars.

There were four True Martial Realm guards at the gate of Ascending Dragon City. Anyone who wanted to enter or leave had to pay a corresponding fee.

The amount of the fee was related to the person's cultivation. In short, the fee for Qi and Blood Realm was lower, the fee for Energy Refining Realm was higher, and the fee for True Martial Realm was higher. However, for most cultivators, such a fee was nothing. [Love ↑ Go △ Xiao ↓ Say △ w]

However, the fee could only last for a month. After a month, if one wanted to enter or leave Ascending Dragon City again, they would have to pay the fee again.

After Chen Zong and the other three had paid a certain fee, each of them received a wooden token. The wooden token had a unique aura fluctuation that couldn't be imitated. The token would last for exactly one month.

If the wooden token was lost during this period, there was no way around it. It was an anonymous token. If one wanted to enter or leave Ascending Dragon City again, they would have to apply for a new one.

Of course, if one was a Transcendent Realm master, they could enter and leave Ascending Dragon City at will without paying any fee. This was the privilege of the strong.

Chen Zong and the other three didn't wear the Dragonteeth Guard's martial robes. Therefore, it wasn't easy to recognize them. Even so, soon after the four of them stepped into Ascending Dragon City, they were secretly watched.

The forces in Ascending Dragon City were complicated and there were many eyes and ears.

"Vice Commander Chen, in my opinion, why don't we find an inn to stay for the time being and then track down the culprits?" Long Tie seemed to be asking for Chen Zong's opinion, but his tone was very firm. He had already made a decision and strode towards a restaurant.

In this regard, Chen Zong didn't care.

The lack of information put Chen Zong in a passive position. He could only deal with the situation as it came.

… …

"Those people have already stayed in the Long Sky Restaurant."

"Make all the preparations. We'll act tonight."

In the room, the four of them sat around a table. On the table was a fragrant and delicious dish. There was also a large jar of fine wine. There were also four simple bowls in front of the four of them. The bowls were filled with amber-colored fine wine, giving off an intoxicating fragrance.

"Vice Commander Chen, a straightforward person does not resort to insinuations. The Third Prince is thirsty for talented people. Vice Commander Chen, you are indeed outstanding. If you are willing to assist the Third Prince, the Third Prince will definitely not treat you unfairly." Long Tie opened his mouth and spoke directly. He was not beating around the bush like before.

After all, a month had passed, and they had arrived at their destination, Ascending Dragon City. It was time to make a decision.

Long Gang and Yang Sanchi also stared at Chen Zong with shining eyes, waiting for Chen Zong's response.

"The Ninth Prince treats me like a brother." Chen Zong gave a very short answer.

His words revealed everything.

(This chapter is not finished. Please turn the page.)

He revealed Chen Zong's intention and refused the Third Prince's invitation.

From the moment the Third Prince attacked Chen Zong, it was destined that Chen Zong would not assist the Third Prince. Moreover, the Third Prince was ruthless and not a wise ruler. Even if Chen Zong really assisted him, he would probably be killed after he had outlived his usefulness in the future.

"Chen Zong, don't fail to appreciate my kindness!" Long Gang was furious and slammed his palm on the table. The wine and dishes splashed everywhere. Yang Sanchi also stared at Chen Zong with an unfriendly expression.

If they could persuade Chen Zong, then the three of them would be rewarded by the Third Prince. This was closely related to their own interests.

"Well, everyone has their own ambitions. You can't force them." Long Tie spoke, suppressing Long Gang's anger. A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes, and he immediately said to Chen Zong, "Since Deputy Commander Chen has his own plans, I can't interfere. However, don't regret it in the future."

Chen Zong just smiled when he heard this. He got up and walked to the door.

If they were not on the same page, there would be no point in saying anything. If they had different aspirations and paths, there would be no taste in drinking.

Seeing Chen Zong walk out of the door and close it, the three people's faces suddenly darkened.

"Too arrogant." Long Gang was furious.

"Captain, what's next?" Yang Sanchi looked at Long Tie and asked.

"Since he doesn't know how to appreciate kindness, then we will proceed according to the original plan." Long Tie said firmly.

In Ascending Dragon City, the influence of the Dragon Diagram Imperial Family had been weakened to a certain extent. Even the Dragon Eye Guard, who claimed to monitor the entire region, was seriously affected.

Late at night, after Chen Zong finished cultivating, he was ready to have a good rest to make up for the lack of rest he had in the past month.

Cultivation was often about balance between tension and relaxation. Proper rest could relax the whole body and was more beneficial to future cultivation.

In the dead of night, Ascending Dragon City seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.

"Who is it?"

"It's you. You killed Deputy Commander Lin. How dare you come alone? You are courting death."

Suddenly, a loud shout came from the room next door. It was Yang Sanchi's room.

Chen Zong instantly got up. Sword light broke through the air, directly splitting the wall of the room and rushing into Yang Sanchi's room.

Chen Zong heard Yang Sanchi's voice very clearly. He also heard the content of the words clearly. It was the murderer of Deputy Commander Lin.

Chen Zong's mission was to catch or kill the murderer. Since the murderer took the initiative to appear, he could not let him go.

At the same time, Long Tie and Long Gang also broke through the wall and rushed into Yang Sanchi's room.

They saw Yang Sanchi fighting fiercely with a short man in black. Every move was fatal. Swift and fierce saber lights were everywhere, and all the furniture was smashed and turned into powder under the attacks of the two men.

Chen Zong saw the situation of the battle at a glance. His two swords pierced through the air to kill the black-clothed man without mercy.

Long Gang also pulled out his long saber and slashed at the black-clothed man with killing intent. The black-clothed man's figure was very agile. He easily avoided Chen Zong's two swords and Long Gang's long saber, and then fiercely slashed at Yang Sanchi with the short saber in his hand.

The swift and fierce black light drifted up and down like a ghost, making it difficult for Yang Sanchi to distinguish it for a while. He could only wave his long saber with all his strength to lay down a heavy defense. Unexpectedly, the short saber suddenly turned and slashed at Chen Zong without warning.

Chen Zong's perception was very sharp. He immediately reacted and locked the trajectory of the black light with his superb swordsmanship. His two swords pierced through the air, one to resist the black light and the other to stab the black-clothed man's heart.
