But it seemed that this matter had truly vexed Ji Zhong.
He had been thinking about the codename "Wutong," which he had finally managed to free up, but he had forgotten to ask Master Zun for it.
Chen Luoyang smiled and withdrew his consciousness from the Divine Tree of Creation.
He played with the Greenwood Seal with his fingers and smacked his lips.
Although it was a genuine Human Emperor relic, too much time had passed and the seal was already very weak.
It was truly difficult to capture Xu Peng and Bie Donglai at the same time. It was all thanks to Chen Luoyang's own cultivation that he could help the Greenwood Seal. Otherwise, the Divine Tree of Creation would probably collapse.
He studied the seal, wondering if it was possible to strengthen it.
At this time, a disciple of the Blue Dragon Hall of the Ancient God hurried in. "Reporting to the Hierarch, there is an urgent report!"
"Speak." Chen Luoyang didn't even raise his eyelids.
"Yes!" The disciple hurriedly replied. "We have received a message from Master Bie, the Mad Emperor. Heavenly Demon Ye might be in the Wilderness. He has already rushed over and contacted our disciples in the Wilderness to speed up the investigation. If there is any news, we will immediately report it to the Hierarch."
Chen Luoyang calmly said, "Investigate carefully and contact Fellow Daoists to ask about the source of the information."
His calmness infected the disciple of the Blue Dragon Hall. The disciple also calmed down and said in a low voice, "Yes, we will follow the Hierarch's orders."
After the disciple left, Chen Luoyang grinned.
He naturally knew where the source of the information was.
Back then, he had felt that the King of the Wildlands, Crouching Dragon Sand's obsession with finding Heavenly Demon Ye was too abnormal.
Bystanders might not be able to see any clues, but for Chen Luoyang, who had interacted with Bie Donglai a lot, he felt that the two's behavior was somewhat similar.
Of course, this was not referring to Bie Donglai's usual nonsensical thinking.
The King of the Wildlands, Crouching Dragon Sand, was ambitious and ambitious, completely different from Bie Donglai. However, his attitude toward Heavenly Demon Ye was somewhat strange.
Chen Luoyang had a faint guess in his heart when he connected it to the mysterious and legendary rise of private lotteries.
Could this guy be like Bie Donglai, a successor that Heavenly Demon Ye had secretly trained?
Sure enough, Ye Tianmo admitted it himself.
Although he didn't know why the old devil had fallen out with all his disciples, this didn't stop him from letting Bie Donglai try Crouching Dragon Sand.
For Chen Luoyang, it didn't matter if the other party wasn't Heavenly Demon Ye's disciple.
In any case, he and Wolong Sha were enemies, not friends. After dealing with Heavenly Demon Ye, if Wolong Sha was still alive, he would be one of the first targets that Chen Luoyang had to deal with.
Chen Luoyang didn't feel any psychological burden sending Bie Donglai off and causing trouble for the Crouching Dragon Sand.
Based on Crouching Dragon Sand's attitude towards Demon Ye, he would definitely have something in common with Bie Donglai in the end. This would not affect the plan to kill Demon Ye together.
Now, he would let Bie Donglai probe him and see what he had been pondering in seclusion for so long.
Don't be like Emperor Chu, who is actually playing the empty fort strategy.
Chen Luoyang stretched his neck.
It was time for his Taoist Half Sea clone to move out again.
Wei Chaoran had already sent a letter asking for help.
The pressure on the Wei Clan of East Zhou was rising rapidly.
To any faction, having an expert ranked among the top ten Martial Sages was a matter worthy of celebration.
But for the Wei Clan, this made their already awkward situation even worse.
The Old Prince of East Zhou, Xu Qizhen, had been paying close attention to the Wei Clan.
Wei Ling had successfully come out of seclusion and broken through to the eighteenth level. This was still a secret in the mortal world, and the news had not yet spread, but the Old Prince of East Zhou had already begun to suspect it.
Wei Ling had reached the eighteenth level, and his cultivation was above Wei Chaoran, Xu Qizhen, and the others. Apart from the Empress and 'Rain Master' Cheng Shuzhi, no one in the East Zhou Dynasty could deal with him.
In short, he didn't have a chance to stir up trouble in East Zhou yet.
The Empress could kill him with one slap, and Cheng Shuzhi could suppress him.
But what if the East Zhou Dynasty encountered a major change?
Just like last time, the Empress and Cheng Shuzhi would both leave Tianfeng City.
In that case, Wei Ling's personal strength would be invincible in East Zhou.
The Old Prince, Xu Qizhen, might be able to control the city defense formation, but with Wei Ling causing trouble, it would be difficult to defend against external enemies.
This made Xu Qizhen, Xu Mo, and the other experts of the East Zhou Dynasty worried.
There could be a great battle with the Extraterrestrial Demons at any time, and His Majesty would definitely participate in the battle.
After the battle, even victory did not mean the end.
The old Extraterrestrial Demon had fallen, and the new Extraterrestrial Demon had risen.
The ambition of the Demon Emperor Chen Luoyang was already recognized by the entire mortal world.
The middle and lower levels of the East Zhou Dynasty might not feel it, but in the hearts of the upper levels, the current situation was already dark.
With such a serious external threat, if internal trouble was added, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The Wei Clan was also under great pressure, as if they were walking on thin ice.
Strictly speaking, the biggest difficulty in front of them was not Xu Qizhen and the others.
It was the Empress Xu Ruotong herself.
This fatuous ruler did not have the capacity to tolerate people at all. He did not even bother to put up a facade.
Ever since the marriage proposal, she didn't treat Wei Ling and the entire Wei Clan well.
Ever since she ascended to the throne, nothing good had happened to the Wei Clan.
Although she didn't suppress the Wei Clan personally, it wasn't because she valued them or was wary. It was purely because she couldn't be bothered.
But everyone understood that if the Wei Clan did anything out of line, the Emperor would slap them.
Even if they wanted to pledge their loyalty, the Emperor wouldn't change his mind.
There was no way they could risk their lives, and this made people feel helpless.
The Wei Clan seemed to be respected in the East Zhou Dynasty, but in reality, they had been hanging in the mud for many years.
Faced with the suppression of Xu Qizhen, Xu Mo, and other experts of the royal family, they didn't dare to resist.
The Wei Clan father and son were already dissatisfied with such days of being bullied.
Few martial artists didn't have a temper.
However, the Wei Clan had been tolerating it before, but now, with the growth of their strength and the fierceness of the other party, this tolerance was gradually reaching its limit.
The royal family didn't make a move because the Empress didn't care, and Cheng Shuzhi didn't want to get involved.
The Wei Clan didn't make a move because they were worried that it would attract the Empress and Cheng Shuzhi.
Everyone was in a delicate balance.
If the Wei Clan wanted to leave East Zhou, they would definitely receive a thunderous attack from the royal family to prevent them from turning against them in the future.
"The Xu Clan has gone too far. They want to force us to turn against them."
In the Wei Clan residence, Wei Chaoran let out a long breath.
"The Rain Master opens the umbrella, the top three Martial Saints." The third son of the Wei Clan, Wei Zheng, said solemnly, "Even if His Majesty doesn't act, we shouldn't act rashly in the current situation."
Wei Chaoran nodded. "If San Lang also broke through to level 18, we might not win, but at least we would have the strength to deal with them and find an opportunity while Xu Ruotong is fighting the Sky Demon or the Demon Emperor."
Then, he shook his head lightly. "Unfortunately, time waits for no man. The Xu Clan definitely won't give us this opportunity. When they confirm that Da Lang broke through to level 18, their pressure will be even tighter. They will slowly bleed us, forcing us to fight back, or let us slowly bleed to death."
"Father, let's endure for a few more days. Perhaps there will be a turn for the better."
At this time, Wei Ling's voice sounded.
He walked into the room and looked at his father and brother. Slowly, he said, "Before that, let's endure and not be angry."
"What do you mean?" Wei Chaoran looked at his eldest son, who had already surpassed his father.
Wei Ling's voice condensed into a line and entered the ears of his father and third brother, pausing between each word.
"There might be a God of the Netherworld in Heavenly Seal City!"
Wei Chaoran and Wei Zheng's expressions changed at the same time.
Because of the storm caused by Xu Peng, the topic of the Netherworld God had been the focus of the world in recent years.
The father and son of the Wei Clan naturally knew what this meant.
Wei Chaoran took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He asked calmly, "Where did the information come from? Also, is this God of the Netherworld a member of the Imperial Family? "
Wei Ling shook his head. "The source of the information should be reliable. I found the Sky Stone with the guidance of that senior.
But I don't know the identity of this God of the Netherworld. I will investigate it later. "
"If he isn't a member of the Imperial Family, I'm afraid it won't work," Wei Zheng said regretfully.
Wei Ling's gaze was deep. "As long as the news that a God of the Netherworld has appeared in Eastern Zhou is true, whether or not he is a member of the Imperial Family is enough for us.
What the world needs is an excuse, a name.
Others can't threaten Emperor Zhou, but someone can.
With the Demon Emperor Chen Luoyang's character and judgment, I believe he will grasp this opportunity.
But it depends on the specific situation after the battle with the Heavenly Demons. "
Wei Zheng nodded.
Wei Chaoran looked at Wei Ling. "Dalang, you want us to join the Ancient God together?"
After a short pause, he corrected himself. "Join the Demon Emperor?"
Wei Ling recalled the time when he met Chen Luoyang and used the Sky Stone to practice his spear arts.
He had gained a lot. He cultivated in seclusion and finally succeeded in breaking through to the eighteenth level, the peak of the Martial Saint Realm.
But who would have thought that Chen Luoyang, who was also in the seventeenth level at that time, had already crossed the heavenly moat and reached the Martial Venerable Realm, leaving him far behind.
Back then, he thought that they were rivals. But now it seemed that they were no longer on the same level. He might even have to submit to the other party for protection.
With such a difference, if Wei Ling's will wasn't strong enough, he would have lost all his confidence.
Even so, after he successfully cultivated in seclusion, it was as if the world had changed. He felt that he had fallen behind, which made Wei Ling feel lost.
But the crisis his family was facing forced him to pull himself together again.
"At least, he is stronger than Emperor Zhou. As long as Emperor Zhou is alive, we will never be able to stand out. We can only be a yes-man forever and keep our edge in check. The Demon Emperor is domineering, but he can accept us working for him. We have a chance to fulfill our ambitions, and our family can prosper." Wei Ling looked at his father and brother.
Wei Zheng looked excited and turned to look at his father.
Wei Chaoran was silent.
Wei Zheng looked at Wei Ling. "Big Brother, what are the chances of us contacting the Ancient God now and switching allegiance to them?
We just received news that in order to fight against the Heavenly Demons, the Righteous and Evil Paths are united, and the Demon Emperor is the leader.
If he is willing to come forward, East Zhou might give in. We don't want to take the risk and leave East Zhou. "
