Everyone's eyes were focused on the tall and thin man at the same time.
The tall and thin man thought of Ying Qingqing and sighed inwardly.
His eyes were calm and full of spirit. He looked around at the people around him and said, "The Supreme Being has ordered that he has no time to care about the affairs of the younger generation.
It is Chen Luoyang's fate that the Tomes of Arcane are in his hands. If he is unable to protect them, he is a good-for-nothing.
If he wants to inherit the Supreme Being's mantle, he should accept all kinds of experiences and sharpen himself. "
Hearing this, everyone looked at Chen Luoyang with playful eyes.
The Hierarch Jiang Yi of the Human World Ancient God and the Lord of Azure Dragon Island, who looked like an old woman, did not look disappointed. Instead, they looked more relaxed.
Emperor Chu, the Lord of Fusang Island, Abbot Pu Hui of the Western Paradise, and even the two Lords of Tianhe and Xuehe, did not show any joy. Instead, their eyes were slightly serious.
The words that Zhu Yi passed on behalf of the Supreme Being seemed not to care about Chen Luoyang at all.
But in their ears, the most important thing was four words.
Inherit the mantle!
This was tantamount to admitting that Chen Luoyang was his disciple.
At least, he was a person who was recognized and valued by him. After going through tempering and passing some tests, he would become a formal disciple and the successor of his mantle.
The confirmation of this point was more important than anything else.
Although the Supreme Being had said that he wanted Chen Luoyang to accept more experiences and sharpen his character and ability, everyone present could clearly understand the core concept of the words.
Experience.
Basically, they also had their own disciples. They would give young people experiences and tests. They knew very well that the best flowers did not grow in a greenhouse.
At the same time, they were all very clear about one thing.
Gaining experience and watching others die for nothing were two different things.
Nine deaths and one survival could be called experience, but ten deaths and no survival was sending people to die.
When Supremes tempered Chen Luoyang, they could watch him suffer setbacks, fail, or face powerful enemies that were difficult to fend off. However, there was a bottom line to all of this. At the very least, there had to be a chance of success.
If there was no chance at all, then there was no point in training.
This also explained why Zhi Zun finally intervened and saved Chen Luoyang's life when he was facing the old Sword Immortal's sword. Other than that, she completely ignored it.
For them to make a move against a mere Emperor Wu, it was not something that could be explained with just the words "the strong bullying the weak".
At this moment, everyone's hearts were filled with awe.
But he also relaxed a little.
The Supreme Martial Artist had said that if Chen Luoyang could keep that page of the Tomes of the Arcane, then he would. If he couldn't, then he was a good-for-nothing.
To a certain extent, it was equivalent to tacitly admitting that the old sword immortal had taken action. The ignorant were not to blame.
In order to sharpen and test Chen Luoyang, he even allowed others to continue to target that page of the Tomes of the Arcane.
However, after this reminder, if giants like them were to attack again, it would be completely insensible.
It was hard to predict how Zhi Zun would react at that time …
However, there were also people who had doubts.
After all, Zhuxiao had helped Chen Luoyang before.
Although he was not good at pretending, but what if?
Just as they were thinking about this, everyone found that although Zhuxiao had reappeared, Ying Qingqing had not reappeared.
And at this time, Zhuxiao solemnly cupped his hands towards Chen Luoyang. "Regarding Zhi Zun, please say a few good words for Miss Qingqing, and ask Zhi Zun to be lenient."
Seeing Zhuxiao's appearance, those who had doubts were mostly dispelled.
Sword Master North Sea seemed indifferent, but in fact, he was proud of himself. With his character, it was impossible for him to act like this. He would rather fight to the death alone with his sword than to do this.
"Miss Qingqing is also my friend. You don't need to say anything, I will also plead with my master." Chen Luoyang looked at the tall and thin man in front of him and said, "I will try my best."
Zhuxiao still insisted, "In that case, thank you in advance."
Seeing this, the others couldn't help muttering in their hearts.
It was true that Zhuxiao was helping Chen Luoyang.
The same was true for Ying Qingqing, but now she was being captured by Zhi Zun, and it was unknown whether she was dead or alive …
However, the possibility of them joining forces to put on an act could not be completely ruled out.
But if they were to boldly question Zhi Zun like Zhuxiao just now, and if they really angered Zhi Zun, they might not be as lucky as Zhuxiao to be able to escape unscathed.
Chen Luoyang secretly observed everyone's reaction.
The clues that a group of old sly foxes could observe were relatively limited.
But for the time being, the effect seemed to be pretty good.
But he still couldn't let his guard down.
Activating all of them at once but not capturing them was relatively weak, and the deterrent effect was insufficient.
Capturing them one by one was easy to arouse suspicion.
If he could only capture one person to intimidate everyone, that would naturally be the best result, but the possibility of success was slim.
Because he couldn't really do anything to these big guys in front of him.
The cultivation of these big shots was too strong, and it was extremely difficult to keep them under the starry sky for a long time.
Once they sensed that the restraint was weakening and that they could gradually break free, they would naturally become suspicious.
But Ying Qingqing was different.
This girl was only at the sixth realm …
He could detain her for as long as he wanted.
Detaining her did not have any deterrent effect, but while detaining her, he could also capture Sword Master North Sea, and then Sword Master North Sea would not return and return without accomplishing anything. The effect was much better.
This would give people a subtle psychological hint, as if Sword Master North Sea could also be easily manipulated by him.
From this to the other, it could naturally make the other big shots feel insecure.
That was why Chen Luoyang thanked Ying Qingqing and Fusang Island Master.
This sudden accident made things much easier for him.
Of course, there was still no absolute insurance, and it was not enough to completely dispel the suspicions of these big shots in front of him.
After all, whether it was Sword Master North Sea Zhu Xiao or Ying Qingqing, they were both helping him on the surface.
This could not completely rule out the possibility of collusion.
Even if it was only one percent, one thousandth, or one ten-thousandth, suspicion would still exist.
If possible, the best way now was to capture that Sky River Old Sword Immortal again.
There was no need for much, first there was Zhu Xiao, and then there was the only big shot who had truly attacked the Demon Lord's disciple, Chen Luoyang. With these two, the effect would be completely sufficient.
But unfortunately, it was too difficult to operate.
Eight "Giant Stars" gathered together, except for Azure Dragon Island Master, who he had captured before, Chen Luoyang could not tell who the others were at all.
It was all thanks to Ying Qingqing that he could accurately locate Zhu Xiao.
The extremely small "star" that represented Ying Qingqing was connected to the aura of a "Giant Star" under the starry sky of the "left eye" of the black mirror.
That was because Zhu Xiao wanted to protect Ying Qingqing with his sword qi.
With this, Chen Luoyang was able to distinguish Sword Master North Sea Zhu Xiao from the other six "Giant Stars".
And Sky River Old Sword Immortal...
Who the hell knew which "Giant Star" represented him?
Moreover, this big shot had lived long enough, and had come into contact with the real Demon Lord in the past.
Only God knew how much he knew about the real Demon Lord.
If they were alone, he might be exposed if he said something inappropriate.
So Chen Luoyang could only give up on capturing the Old Sword Immortal.
This would more or less arouse suspicion.
So Chen Luoyang had been secretly observing everyone's movements, so that he could judge whether he should carry out the next step of his plan.
Frankly speaking, he did not want to go.
Because the next step was also a risky move, and he did not have enough confidence.
At this time, the more he did, the easier it was for him to make mistakes.
If what he did just now was enough to fool the opponents, it would be the best.
Because of this, when he pretended to be the Demon Lord, he deliberately said that everyone could get the Heavenly Tomes, and would not protect him too much. He only hinted to the big shots not to bully the weak.
On one hand, it was to show off and increase the credibility of him pretending to be the Demon Lord. On the other hand, it was to leave some hope for his opponents, so that they would not be unwilling to take risks and continue to test him.
Of course, Chen Luoyang knew that every family had experts stronger than the sixteenth realm Martial Sage, but facing those people was much better than facing the super big shots.
Just as the Demon Lord had said.
Experience was fine, but not a dead end...
Chen Luoyang laughed at himself.
At this moment, he suddenly sensed a vicious aura emanating from the River of Blood.
Alarm bells immediately rang in his mind.
Of everyone present, the one who posed the greatest threat was this Blood River Ancestor.
His seniority was high enough, he was strong enough, his methods were vicious enough, and he was lawless.
He did not necessarily want to take Chen Luoyang's life, but had come for the Netherworld Sword Technique.
In the current situation, the one who was most likely to cause trouble was this old demon.
Laughter came from the River of Blood. "The Sovereign has decreed that we......"
Before he finished speaking, his voice suddenly paused.
As for the other powerhouses, they seemed to have sensed something and looked to the other side.
The air there seemed to tremble slightly.
Then, a figure suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
The newcomer was tall and had a handsome face, but there was an unconcealable viciousness and ruthlessness on his face.
It was the "Mad Emperor" Bie Donglai!
"......" Chen Luoyang almost had the urge to roll his eyes when he saw the other party.
The fact that the other party had arrived at this time not only did not make him feel more confident, but also gave him a bad feeling.
As expected, the madman did not seem to be aware that he was late at all. He shouted at Chen Luoyang, "You bastard, you tricked me so hard!"
He spoke carelessly, and there was no anger or killing intent in his tone. It sounded more like he was simply complaining.
Chen Luoyang steadied himself and calmly asked, "Are you trying to find an excuse for going back on your word?"
Bie Donglai waved his hand. "I didn't come late on purpose, I just ran into something I had to do."
His expression became somewhat unsightly. "I ran into that damned old ghost, but unfortunately, I wasn't able to find out the whereabouts of my wife."
Damned old ghost?
The others frowned slightly.
They all acknowledged Bie Donglai's strength.
Someone who could make him feel helpless had to be at least a super big shot like them.
Just as everyone was guessing, Bie Donglai's words were earth-shattering.
"Right, that damned old ghost also mentioned that the Sovereign died long ago. You can't be the Sovereign's successor!"
