After Chen Luoyang finished his words, the other three people present all gasped.
There were a total of seven children of Emperor Cheng Hui, five boys and two girls.
The fourth son, Cheng Huyuan, and the third son, Cheng Qiyuan, were both killed by Chen Luoyang.
The second son, Cheng Fengyuan, was killed by Lin Yan.
Among them, Tu Shanyi was particularly clear that Chen Luoyang played a part in Lin Yan's ability to kill Cheng Fengyuan so smoothly.
A piece of Cloudy Ancient Jade was the perfect counter to the Brilliant Chart of the royal family of Southern Chu.
It could be said that the deaths of the three princes of Southern Chu were all directly or indirectly related to Chen Luoyang.
Now, Chen Luoyang was eyeing the eldest son, Cheng Longyuan …
Was he going to die out?
In the Secular World, the Ancient God and the Southern Chu Dynasty often fought with each other and killed many masters of the other side.
But now they were working together to attack the Western Qin, and it was not the time to turn hostile.
Would Chen Luoyang's action affect the overall situation?
Would Jiang Yi, the Hierarch of the headquarters, agree?
Xie Buxiu and Tu Shanyi glanced at Ning Jiuwei while thinking.
Cheng Longyuan, the eldest son of the Southern Chu Emperor, was a Martial Sage in the sixteenth realm, like Chen Luoyang, Lin Yan, and Tang Yiming.
Moreover, among the new generation of experts in Southern Chu, he was recognized as second only to Cheng Yingtian.
In other words, among the descendants of the royal family, he was more powerful than Cheng Fengyuan and the others.
Asking Ning Jiuwei, a Martial Sage in the fifteenth realm, to assassinate Cheng Longyuan was a task that could not be described as "somewhat difficult".
It was already a bit difficult.
Ning Jiuwei took a deep breath and said, "Yes, sir."
Tu Shanyi was a little moved, but he hesitated to speak.
"What do you want to say? Say it." Chen Luoyang said indifferently, "You can say whatever you want, but I only care about the result of the task I have given you."
The bald man glanced at Ning Jiuwei and said, "Since it's Cult Master Chen's orders, we will naturally do our best. It's just that I heard your orders just now were to assassinate a target. This …"
Ning Jiuwei was also moved when he heard that.
Assassinate a person.
Kill a man.
If one really had to pick the words, it was a completely different matter.
But the problem at hand was that Chen Luoyang had the final right of explanation.
It didn't matter what Ning Jiuwei thought. In the end, Chen Luoyang still had the final say.
Chen Luoyang looked at them calmly. "Yes, what's the problem with assassinating Cheng Longyuan?"
Ning Jiuwei heaved a sigh of relief, "No problem."
Tu Shanyi and Xie Buxiu were deep in thought.
From the looks of it, he didn't mean to make things difficult for them, but to send them to their deaths.
As long as they carried out the assassination, they did not necessarily have to kill Cheng Longyuan.
However, was it really that simple?
It was obviously impossible.
In other words, the so-called assassination couldn't be a mere formality. At the very least, it had to pose a substantial threat to Cheng Longyuan.
If they could really kill Cheng Longyuan in the current situation, it might not even be a good thing. It might affect the war on the side of the Western Qin.
The real purpose of the assassination was more like a cover to attract people's attention so that they could hide their true purpose and deceive the world …
Of course, Ning Jiuwei might have guessed wrongly. If the assassination failed, Chen Luoyang might come after him. In that case, Ning Jiuwei could only admit that he was unlucky.
But before that, at least this mission didn't seem so hopeless.
However, it was still not simple.
Emperor Chu personally led the expedition to the Western Qin. Cheng Yingtian and the other top experts of the Southern Chu were dispatched.
According to the intelligence currently held by the Ancient God, the eldest son of the emperor, Cheng Longyuan, was now almost equivalent to the crown prince. He stayed behind in the capital of Southern Chu and oversaw the country.
No matter how empty Southern Chu was, there were still some experts guarding the capital with Cheng Longyuan.
Moreover, just like Zhengyang City in the Western Qin, the defensive deployment in the capital of the Southern Chu was also top-notch.
Assassination was easy to talk about, and it was easy to put on a show. But to really pose a threat, the remaining masters on the side of Ancient God might not be enough.
"Hierarch Chen, should we use all our spies in the capital of Southern Chu to cooperate with Miss Ning?" Tu Shanyi asked for instructions from the side.
Chen Luoyang glanced at him.
The bald man smiled respectfully.
Rather than asking for instructions, it was more like a euphemistic admonition.
In the case of insufficient manpower, even if all the spies were used together, it might not be effective, and they would be sacrificed in vain.
As for letting Ning Jiuwei break into the capital of Southern Chu alone …
There was no need to think about the enemy with force, and it was also difficult to outsmart him.
"One person is enough," Chen Luoyang said calmly, "if you can seize the opportunity."
Hearing the first half of Chen Luoyang's words, the other three people looked slightly unnatural.
But hearing the second half, they looked at each other in dismay, feeling that there was another mystery.
Ning Jiuwei pondered for a moment and tentatively asked, "When evacuating …"
"I will arrange for someone to pick you up." Chen Luoyang glanced at Ning Jiuwei and said, "Leave as soon as possible."
Ning Jiuwei bowed to him and said, "This subordinate obeys."
The woman was straightforward, walking straight out of the hall and out of the Demonic God Palace. Without packing, she left the headquarters of the Ancient God Palace and headed for Southern Chu.
"Not bad." Chen Luoyang smiled and said, "I appreciate courageous people."
Tu Shanyi rubbed his bald head.
In the so-called assassination, sometimes escaping after the assassination was the real difficulty.
The fact that Chen Luoyang had arranged for someone to pick him up and was not inhumane to the end gave Ning Jiuwei some reassurance.
From this point of view, perhaps this Deputy Hierarch Chen did indeed have an original plan and was not really retaliating.
… Of course, it was hard to say. Who knew what he was thinking? Maybe it depended on his mood?
Tu Shanyi and Xie Buxiu secretly criticized in their hearts.
"Hierarch Chen, in case, I mean in case … Uh, no, it's very likely, very likely." Xie Buxiu said with a face full of smiles, "You have a wonderful foresight. It's very likely that the opportunity you created is too good. If Junior Sister Ning really killed Cheng Longyuan, Emperor Chu …"
Chen Luoyang said carelessly, "Doesn't he have a younger son? He doesn't have to worry about who to choose to succeed to the throne. "
"… Hierarch Chen, you are right." Xie Buxiu laughed dryly.
Four out of the five are missing, and almost all of it was handled by you. Hierarch Chen, you have really worked hard and made great contributions to the smooth succession of the throne and to avoid brothers fighting for it.
… Damn it, people who don't know might think that Emperor Chu's youngest son is your son, so you can help him clear the obstacles to the throne and help him to the throne.
If the Fifth Prince of Southern Chu really succeeds the throne in the future, the person he should thank the most is you, right?
Xie Buxiu and Tu Shanyi almost had the same thought, complaining silently and crazily.
Although they complained, they were a little worried.
In addition to Ning Jiuwei, Chen Luoyang obviously had other arrangements.
What was fake was real, and what was real was fake.
Maybe the real plan covered by Ning Jiuwei was another arrangement of Chen Luoyang. Was he really going to kill Cheng Longyuan?
It was certainly good to kill a Martial Sage of Southern Chu, but it might not be helpful for the current situation. It might force Emperor Chu and the Southern Chu Dynasty to turn against each other.
They were old rivals. If they turned against each other, they would turn against each other. Who was afraid of whom?
But it could obviously affect the current situation of Jiang Yi and the Ancient God in the Western Qin.
… Could the real target of Hierarch Chen be the other Hierarch of the Ancient God?
That was what Tu Shanyi and Xie Buxiu were most worried about.
Although they concealed it well, Chen Luoyang could roughly guess what they were worried about.
But he didn't care.
Because Jiang Yi, the Hierarch of the headquarters, knew what he was going to do, and the two had a tacit understanding.
To be precise, there was even a tacit understanding between him and Emperor Chu.
Everyone's attention was actually on the same place.
The Xian Tian Palace.
Now, even if they accidentally killed Cheng Longyuan, Emperor Chu might not immediately lose his temper.
What was more, Chen Luoyang was not in the mood to kill Cheng Longyuan.
Before he was sure that he could defeat the whole Western Qin with one blow, Chen Luoyang and the Ancient God would like to see more internal strife among the princes of Southern Chu.
As for Ning Jiuwei, it depended on her luck.
Chen Luoyang looked as usual and turned to look at Xie Buxiu.
Xie Buxiu was already anxious. Being stared at by Deputy Hierarch Chen at the moment, he suddenly felt creeped out.
"Hierarch Chen, I … am not good at fighting, and my strength is very weak. Although I want to follow you all the time, I will only ruin your plan." Xie Buxiu put on a smile and said, "It's true, it's true. I've failed all my previous tasks. It's common for me to go in and out of the White Tiger Hall to be punished. I know I'm incompetent, and I really want to make contributions to the Divine Sect, but I'm really not made for it …"
Tu Shanyi covered his face with his hands.
Chen Luoyang also didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He now understood what Tu Shanyi meant when he said Xie Buxiu's temperament was indescribable.
If Xie Buxiu's words were true and he had always been so useless, then he was not pretending to be weak, but really so.
However, this made Chen Luoyang click his tongue in wonder.
How did such a person cultivate to the fifteenth level?
Pure inborn talent was not enough.
If one's will was not firm enough and his mind was not confident enough, even the best talent would be wasted.
In this world, a lunatic could be a martial arts expert. So could a madman. It didn't matter if one was a treacherous villain or a shameless person. It didn't matter if one had all kinds of problems, but if one's will was not firm and he lacked confidence, he would never make great achievements in martial arts.
In many cases, martial artists even needed a kind of unreasonable confidence and fearlessness to climb up.
Every breakthrough in the realm was a challenge and a surpassing of oneself.
Just like Heavenly Devil Ye, even after the war more than a hundred years ago, when he was besieged by the whole world, he was still arrogant.
In his dictionary, there was no such thing as "defeating them one by one".
Even now, he was still the strongest existence in the mortal world, except for the Devil Venerable.
From another point of view, this was almost blind arrogance and conceit.
But without this kind of ambition, it was difficult for martial artists to achieve such achievements.
Speaking of metaphysics, the illusory will deeply affected people's reality to a certain extent.
As giants in the mortal world, even Emperor Chu, Jiang Yi, and the Western Qin Emperor, who seemed to be calm or a little gloomy, also had their own pride and even bigotry.
The confidence and pride in everyone's heart might be different, and they might not all be as wild as Heavenly Devil Ye.
But there was no doubt that they were far more arrogant and bigoted than ordinary people.
In the face of the Devil Venerable, it seemed that everyone remained silent.
But when it came to the explosive point in their hearts, most of them would rather die than live in dishonor.
Of course, nothing was absolute.
Was it possible for them to give in?
Yes, but that often meant that there was no possibility for them to make further progress, or even regress.
The longer Chen Luoyang practiced martial arts and the higher his cultivation was, the more he felt it.
He was no exception in this respect.
Therefore, he was particularly interested in Xie Buxiu.
He had failed a lot of errands, but he could still enter the Demonic Palace. Obviously, Jiang Yi, the Hierarch of the headquarters, also valued this person.
"Follow me," Chen Luoyang looked at Xie Buxiu and said calmly.
Xie Buxiu suddenly looked like an eggplant hit by frost.
Then, he rushed to Chen Luoyang as if he wanted to hug his thigh. "Hierarch, please spare my life!"
