On the official road of Wangcheng, a group of people are walking side by side.

However, the clothing, colors, and breath exuded by this group of people are distinct.

Apparently from two different families.

The North Han family and the South Yan family!

The Tianjiao of the two families, Bei Han Wu and Nan Yanlong, are also among them.

At this time, they were discussing what happened at the gate of King Zhou's mansion a few days ago.

And the protagonist of that thing: Loose cultivation Li Chen!

Since the Gu family's ancestor left, the situation in the Yanlong Dynasty, which had just stabilized, suddenly became tense again, and many people were worried that the tragedy of sixty years ago would be repeated.

After all, the ancestor of the Gu family has passed away, and the overall strength of the Gu family has dropped significantly.

Although the current monarch Gu Tianchun is not a mediocre lord, his strength and influence are far inferior to his father.

Of course, in a short period of time, the Gu family was still able to rely on their previous prestige to maintain their hegemony and maintain this delicate balance.

However, all of this changed because of the sudden appearance of that loose cultivator named Li Chen!

The most intuitive change is that Du Yidao, the head of the Du family, was killed.

Du Yidao was originally loyal to the royal family Gu family, but now he was killed by Li Chen, which greatly weakened the already precarious royal family.

The Zhou family, which had risen strongly, became even stronger.

The most important thing is that this Li Chen was invited back by the Zhou family, and he has an inexplicable and inexplicable relationship with the Zhou family.

Although the Zhou family is trying their best to clear up their relationship with Li Chen, no one can guarantee that what they said is true or false.

Perhaps, Li Chen's forced killing of Du Yidao was secretly instructed by the Zhou family!

Say Li Chen, Li Chen will arrive!

Just when Nan Yanlong and Bei Han Wu were discussing Li Chen, Li Chen's figure suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Li Chen, why are you here?"

Nanyan Long's eyes were sharp, and he was the first to see Li Chen.

Beihan Wu's eyes also widened in shock, full of shock.

The guards of the two families, seeing Li Chen's sudden appearance, were worried that he would be unfavorable to their master, so they sacrificed their swords and magic weapons one after another, and waited for them.

After a while, Nan Yanlong waved his hand left and right, signaling them not to be so nervous.

Immediately, he stepped forward and walked a few steps, faced Li Chen and asked, "Li Chen, what are you doing?" ”

Li Chen's face was expressionless, and he responded: "I want to negotiate a deal with the two of you!" ”

Nan Yanlong and Bei Han Wu glanced at each other, and both of them saw doubts in each other's eyes.

After a while, Nan Yanlong asked, "What deal?" ”

Li Chen replied casually: "It's about the Beichen Emperor Grotto, I think you will definitely be very interested!" ”

When they heard the "Beichen Emperor Grotto", both Nanyanlong and Beihanwu showed shock.

Nan Yanlong asked, "How are you going to talk about it?" ”

Li Chen replied unhurriedly: "It's very simple, hand over the tortoise shell fragments of the two of you, and the seven pieces will be combined into one, and you can open the entrance to the Beichen Emperor Cave!" ”

Nan Yanlong looked puzzled and asked, "Although this method is good, do you think the royal Gu family will agree?" ”

Without waiting for the other party's voice to land, Li Chen gave an affirmative answer.

"They have already agreed, now there are seven pieces of tortoise shell, and I already have five pieces, and there are only two of you left!"

Hearing Li Chen's words, Bei Han Wu and Nan Yanlong couldn't help but be stunned.

After a long time, Beihan Wu, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "What if we don't agree? ”

Li Chen smiled harmlessly on his face, and said lightly: "In this case, the problem is also very simple, destroy both of you, and just rob it directly!" ”

Hearing Li Chen's wild words, including Nan Yanlong and Bei Han Wu, everyone's faces changed drastically.

The atmosphere that had just eased was again tense.

Nan Yanlong and Bei Hanwu exchanged another look.

Immediately, Nan Yanlong asked in an extremely serious tone: "Li Chen, I want to know, are you representing yourself or the Zhou family?" ”

If it is the latter, it means that the Zhou family can no longer sit still and wants to take the lead.

However, Li Chen did not give a clear answer to this question, but replied very vaguely.

"This question is not important, the important thing is that you two families only have these two paths to take, and there is no third one. Of course, if you think that I, Li Chen, am talking wildly, and I don't have the strength to destroy the two of you, you can also give it a try! ”

Nan Yanlong and Bei Han Wu, seeing that Li Chen spoke very easily and casually, they kept beating the drum in their hearts.

They couldn't figure out whether Li Chen was bluffing or confident!

After all, this matter is too much to implicate, and they can't help but be cautious.

"Li Chen, this matter is very important, I can't be the master, I need to go home and ask the ancestor!"

Nan Yanlong opened his mouth and said, and after he finished speaking, he glanced at Beihan Wu.

Bei Han Wu didn't speak, and acquiesced in his proposal.

Li Chen glanced at the two of them successively and smiled slightly.

"Okay, I'll give you three days to think about it!"

After Li Chen finished speaking, without waiting for Nan Yanlong and Bei Hanwu to answer, his figure began to blur until it disappeared completely.

Seeing Li Chen's inadvertent supernatural powers, Bei Han Wu and Nan Yanlong were all shocked.

Originally, they all took it for granted that they were the proud sons of the sky, and they could even compare with the holy sons and saints in the Seven Great Holy Sects.

But now it seems that they were very wrong.

Not to mention the Holy Son and Holy Daughter of the Seven Great Holy Sects, even the casual cultivator Li Chen in front of him, in terms of cultivation talent, he can throw out the two of them for 108,000 miles.

This really responds to the old saying: there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the people!

……

At the same time, the Zhou family:

No one in the Zhou family would have thought that Li Chen's cultivation would be so strong, and with just one sword, he would kill Du Yidao, the head of the Du family.

Moreover, because Li Chen was the guest invited back by the Zhou family.

Now, Li Chen killed Du Yidao, and this account will definitely be counted on their Zhou family's head.

In fact, it has already been rumored outside that the city is full of wind and rain, saying that their Zhou family secretly instructed Li Chen to forcibly kill Du Yidao, the head of the Du family. The purpose was to cut off the wings of the royal family and prepare for the army.

The royal family was frightened, and the Zhou family was also very disturbed.

This has made the already delicate situation even more volatile.

In the past few days, Zhou Zheng, the head of the Zhou family, has been busy with anxiety. Convened the family leaders overnight to urgently discuss what might happen next and what to do.

The hawks advocate that while the royal family is not ready, the first strike is strong. Strike ahead of time, control the entire dynasty, and control the initiative.

The doves believe that now is not the time, and they should still follow the original plan and play steadily. Only in this way can we plan to succeed.

Otherwise, if you blindly raise an army against the royal family, the chance of failure is far greater than the chance of success.

Even if it succeeds, it will be a lose-lose situation.

You must know that the entire dynasty is not only their Zhou family and Gu family. There are also Nanyan and Beihan, who are staring at each other.

If you are not fully prepared, then it is very likely that you are making wedding clothes for others.

The hawks and doves are arguing, and the reasons put forward by both seem to be very strong.

In the end, the two sides did not fight for a definite result, so they had to kick the ball to the head of the family, Zhou Zheng, and he made the final plan.

Zhou Zheng is also the first two big ones in this regard, and he is in a dilemma.

After all, it's a matter of life and death for the entire family.

With the slightest negligence, the entire Zhou family will be completely destroyed like the Xia family sixty years ago......
