At this moment, the Southern Chu people were so depressed that they wanted to vomit blood. Their hearts had fallen to the bottom of a valley.
But they had no other choice but to try their best to help conceal the truth.
The Old Prince Cheng Jiongting immediately sealed the cave residence and ordered everyone to stay here to unify their statements.
After going out, he had to pay attention to everyone.
According to the orders left behind by Emperor Chu, Cheng Hui, the various representatives of Southern Chu headed to Eastern Zhou, the Manchurian Lands, and the Northernmost Lake to make early contact and negotiations, and they only hoped that His Majesty would be able to keep his word and return in time.
At present, everyone could only hope for the best.
Since His Majesty could come out of seclusion to find Han Mei, it meant that his current condition was good. It was very likely that his seclusion had really produced results.
Of course, it was also possible that an accident had occurred during seclusion, resulting in such an abrupt action. However, the Southern Chu crowd could only hope for the best, wishing their Emperor success in advance.
Otherwise, when Chen Luoyang came to visit, they would end up like the Blackwater Extreme Palace.
At the same time, some people had malicious guesses. In the Northernmost Lake and the Wilderness, the Heavenly King and the Overlord, the two great spear masters who had also announced their seclusion, were also long gone.
But for the Southern Chu people, such thoughts were just joy in the midst of sorrow.
General Zhang Tong looked at Cheng Jiongting and said hesitantly, "Your Highness, what I'm most worried about is whether or not this situation has something to do with that person …" Then, he pointed at Cheng Jiongting and said, "Your Highness, what I'm most worried about is whether or not this situation has something to do with that person …"
The surrounding people were all silent.
Almost all the masters who were nominally in seclusion had encountered problems.
His Majesty was still fine. At least he had left a message. But the Ancient God Jiang Yi, the Blackwater Extreme Palace's Ji Tianqiong, and the Green Bull Temple Master had all mysteriously disappeared.
It was as if everyone had made an appointment.
It was so strange that people could not help but wonder if there was an external influence.
To be able to influence so many masters at the same time, the first person that came to everyone's mind was naturally the legendary Supreme.
Now that the person who had suddenly swept through the entire mortal world was the Supreme's disciple, people could not help but think.
If this was the truth, it would be extremely frightening. Could it be that the Supreme had changed his previous plan of ruling by doing nothing and was ready to take full control of the mortal world?
Right now, Chen Luoyang's actions were merely following the orders of the Supreme Martial Artist, and he was making preparations for the Supreme Martial Artist?
"I won't." The Old Prince, Cheng Jiongting, said weakly, "If the Supreme Martial Artist really has such an intention, he should be frank and tell the world. There's no need to play tricks and lose his identity for no reason."
Hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought.
Supremacy couldn't compare to Demon Ye.
Against Heavenly Demon Ye of the past, all of the Human Realm could join forces and fight against him. But against a legendary Supreme Being, it was better to forget about it.
"Anyway, let's find Han Mei as soon as possible. That way, we might be able to find out where Your Majesty is," Cheng Jiongting said slowly. "If necessary, we can also cooperate with Your Majesty."
After the battle in the Yongyue Mountain Range of the Western Qin, the relationship between Han Mei and Han Zheng had been exposed. Although Han Mei's martial arts did not seem to be from the Black Dragon Island, if anyone wanted to lay a finger on her, they had to consider the relevant issues.
"The Master of the Black Dragon Island is following the Supreme Martial Artist's order to hunt down Xu Peng together with Xu Ruotong of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the North Sea Sword Master. He can't be distracted. Now that Your Majesty is here, I think it will be a piece of cake." General Zhang Tong bowed to Cheng Jiongting. "I'll bring Gao Xuan to welcome Your Majesty right away."
"Thank you, General." Cheng Jiongting watched Zhang Tong leave, saying nothing.
After a long while, the old man said to Cheng Longyuan, "When Jinjun returns, ask him to go to meet His Majesty immediately and follow Zhang Tong and the others."
"Yes, Old Granduncle." Cheng Longyuan's expression changed slightly.
He vaguely sensed something unusual from Cheng Jiongting's arrangement for Cheng Jinjun, the Lord of Cloud Capital.
Cheng Jiongting glanced at Cheng Longyuan with his cloudy eyes and said, "Our Great Chu is different from places like the Ultimate Black Water Palace and the Yanran Mountain."
Cheng Longyuan fell silent.
Of course, he knew the difference.
In the face of the imposing Chen Luoyang, the others in Southern Chu might submit to him, but it was hard to say the same for the sovereigns.
Among the original four peak Martial Saints, Cheng Ye, Duke of Qing Ling, died in the Innate Tomb, leaving only Cheng Jiongting, Cheng Jinjun, and the Cavalry General Zhang Tong.
With Sovereign Chu here, there would be no problem.
But without Sovereign Chu, it was hard to say if Zhang Tong would have other thoughts.
What if Zhang Tong became disloyal and leaked the secret of this place to the outside world?
In terms of strength, Cheng Jiongting was confident that he could take down Zhang Tong. But first, it was just a suspicion, and second, he needed to stay in Anyuan City.
To be safe, he could only ask Cheng Jinjun to come back as soon as possible to meet Sovereign Chu and keep an eye on Zhang Tong, lest he ruin Sovereign Chu's plan.
As long as Sovereign Chu returned safely, there was still a chance of success.
"Should we contact the Xian Tian Palace as well?" Cheng Longyuan asked softly, "Chen Luoyang's Emperor Xi Ancient Array Formation came from the Innate Tomb, while the Heavenly Phoenix resides in the Xian Tian Palace, it might be able to restrain the Emperor Xi Ancient Array Formation. Without the Emperor Xi Ancient Array Formation, Chen Luoyang's threat will be reduced by at least half …"
"You are right, but since the Heavenly Phoenix hasn't taken the initiative to attack, I'm afraid they won't care about this matter unless Chen Luoyang takes the initiative to attack the Xian Tian Palace." The Elder Prince sighed. "However, it is still a ray of hope. It's good to send someone to ask. It's okay to lower our stance. As long as we can invite them, we don't care if we have to bleed. With the current situation, we can't care too much."
The relationship between the Xian Tian Palace and the Southern Chu had always been turbulent, and after the Xian Tian Tomb incident came to an end, the relationship between the Xian Tian Palace and the Southern Chu had always been tense.
Now that the Xian Tian Palace was almost sealed off from the outside world, it was hard for the Southern Chu Dynasty to persuade them.
The main reason was that the Heavenly Phoenix resided in the Xian Tian Palace for Ji Zhong, who had no intention of getting involved in the worldly affairs.
Occasionally, he would leave the Xian Tian Palace with the Heavenly Phoenix, but he was very mysterious and returned after a few days. There was no news about him in the outside world, it was as if he was wandering alone and didn't interact with anyone.
The new Palace Lord, Nie Guanhe, could do nothing about it. He was already thankful that Ji Zhong didn't leave.
Thus, the Southern Chu returned without any results.
With nothing in the Xian Tian Palace, the situation in other places was not good either.
The people in the Northern Heavenly Lake were just playing around, they had no intention of inviting the Heavenly Lake Master to come out in advance.
The Heavenly River Sword Immortal was recuperating in seclusion with Crane Deity as his protector. The Empress was not even in the Eastern Zhou, and the Eastern Zhou people only said that they would inform her as soon as possible.
In the Wilderness, the Queen received them personally, but when the clan king was mentioned, she was also in seclusion and no one dared to disturb her.
Although everyone was worried about the aggressive Chen Luoyang, they didn't say anything for the time being.
Obviously, this kind of problem needed Sovereign Chu to come out personally.
The other forces were also suspicious of Sovereign Chu who was in seclusion.
If it weren't for the fact that the various giants were busy, there might be others who would attack Anyuan City before Chen Luoyang did anything.
The Southern Chu people had no choice but to negotiate with the other forces while secretly looking for Sovereign Chu, Cheng Hui, hoping that their Majesty would show up as soon as possible.
What was delightful was that news soon came back.
However, the content of the news was shocking.
Their Majesty fought with Swordmaster North Dark Zhu Que at the coast of the East Sea.
The Southern Chu people were all confused when they heard the news.
Was there a misunderstanding somewhere?
Han Mei was the younger sister of Azure Dragon Island's heir, Han Zheng.
Although they didn't know the reason, it was also true that Swordmaster North Dark helped Azure Dragon Island Lord to repel the Eastern Zhou Empress.
But was it necessary for Swordmaster North Dark to fight with Sovereign Chu just for the family of a disciple of Azure Dragon Island?
Wasn't this twisting and turning of the relationship a little too far?
It was reasonable for Azure Dragon Island Lord to take care of Han Mei, but what did it have to do with Swordmaster North Dark?
The Surging Waves Mountain where he lived was in the territory of Southern Chu. For so many years, he had never interfered with Southern Chu's affairs.
Although they didn't know why he suddenly decided to join forces with Azure Dragon Island, he shouldn't have helped Azure Dragon Island to this extent, right?
Or was it Han Mei who was related to him from beginning to end, and he took care of Azure Dragon Island because of Han Mei?
The Southern Chu people were completely confused, but they didn't have time to find out the truth. They only hoped that their Majesty could come back as soon as possible.
However, after the battle, Sovereign Chu didn't return to Southern Chu.
The Southern Chu people couldn't get in touch with him.
Everyone was instantly dumbfounded.
When the news spread, the world was shaken again, and people were discussing it animatedly.
Many people's gazes turned to Chen Luoyang again.
Swordmaster North Dark Zhu Que rarely interacted with others, but he had some friendship with Chen Luoyang. After his battle with Sovereign Chu, Sovereign Chu disappeared, which directly benefited Chen Luoyang.
In fact, when Chen Luoyang had just received the news, he was also quite surprised.
He didn't know that Sovereign Chu had gone to find Han Mei, and naturally didn't know why Sovereign Chu had suddenly fought with Zhu Que.
The other party was really bold. He didn't care about Chen Luoyang's challenge, and even dared to make another enemy to fight with Swordmaster North Dark.
Although Zhu Que did have some friendship with Chen Luoyang, it was impossible for Zhu Que to fight whoever he wanted.
The other party's autonomy was far greater than that of Azure Dragon Island Lord and the Lord of Misery Sea.
To some extent, Zhu Que and Ji Zhong were similar in nature.
But after meeting Han Zheng, this aspect had vaguely changed. But in essence, Swordmaster North Dark Zhu Que was never a person who took the initiative to fight for supremacy in the world.
On the other hand, Chen Luoyang didn't intend to let Zhu Que help him exhaust Sovereign Chu Cheng Hui.
Since he took the initiative to challenge the other party, he naturally had enough confidence.
After coming to the world of mortals, he had been working hard for a long time, whether openly or secretly. More than half of the current situation in the world of mortals was formed because of his work. Now, it was finally time for him to reap the fruits of his labor.
Others said that he had suddenly stirred up a storm, and his steps were too big and too radical. But he knew in his heart that the time was ripe. Now, he was using the battle to nurture the battle, and the more he fought, the stronger he became, and the further he accumulated, the more he fought.
On the other hand, Sovereign Chu Cheng Hui's sudden action was slightly unexpected, and it aroused Chen Luoyang's interest.
