After Li Chen left the hotel, he found a remote courtyard to live in.

After releasing Xiao Yan from his sleeve robe and telling him not to run around, he hurried out again and didn't come back until noon the next day.

After spending a day's work, Li Chen finally figured out the current situation in Shining Star City and the general reason for the whole thing.

It all started seven years ago.

At that time, the lord of the entire Heavenly Star Empire was still Wu Qin. The Celestial Star Empire is also in an orderly manner under his rule.

But then an accident happened, and everything changed.

When Wu Qin led the army to suppress a ****, he encountered an accident and was besieged by the enemy.

When General Xuanzi arrived later, Wu Qin was nowhere to be found.

In this way, Wu Qin's younger brother, that is, the prince Wu Tian at that time, served as the acting emperor, and he was in charge of all the affairs of the Celestial Star Empire until he found Wu Qin.

At the beginning, General Xuanzi was naturally very opposed, but unfortunately, Wu Tian had been lurking and unmoved before, secretly accumulating strength.

At this moment, showing his fangs, he was already full-fledged, and Xuan Zi and others who supported Wu Qin opposed defeat.

In the years that followed, Wu Tian continued to buy people's hearts and replace some important official positions with his own. On the one hand, they continue to suppress Xuanzi's forces.

And just two months ago, after several years of preparation, Wu Tian finally felt that the time had come and started a coup d'état.

This coup d'état was huge, and it swept through the entire Celestial Star Empire.

This time, Wu Tian successfully ascended to the throne, but Xuan Zi and others were still not convinced, and tried to raise troops to resist, but they were beaten by Wu Tian and suffered heavy losses, so that even Wu Qin's wife and son, who had protected him for several years, were taken away by the other party.

According to Wu Tian's style of acting, he would definitely not raise tigers for trouble, but just as he was about to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, the 'first emperor' Wu Qin, who had disappeared for several years, actually came back at this time!

Wu Tian immediately sent a strong force to attack Wu Qin, but the result was unexpected.

When Wu Qin came, he only led more than a hundred cultivators in blue robes, but with the strength of more than 100 people, Wu Tian's army suffered heavy losses.

Among them, the high-ranking generals were almost slaughtered, but the low-ranking soldiers suffered few casualties.

Later, after General Xuanzi learned of Wu Qin's return, he immediately led a few people who were still convinced and loyal to Wu Qin.

Since then, Wu Tian has sent many troops to attack Wu Qin, but they were all given to him by that group of mysterious blue-robed cultivators. After a long time, it seems that I have given up.

In this way, the battle between the two royal families in the Celestial Star Empire began.

Today, the confrontation between the two armies has reached a critical moment. There was a tense and depressing atmosphere throughout the Celestial Star Empire.

The two leaders, Wu Qin and Wu Tian, also released their words a few days ago, and a meeting will be held in half a month. All front-line families within the Celestial Star Empire must participate.

The implication of this is self-evident. Of course, the most important thing is to be afraid that the four great families will sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and in the end, the fisherman will benefit.

Therefore, before the decisive battle, I plan to force the four great families to make a choice and stand in line. And some of the rest of the families are just here to join in the fun, just watch from the sidelines.

Li Chen combed through all the information he had gotten and paced around the room.

As far as it seems now, Wu Qin's power is still in a weak position, after all, Wu Tian has been operating in the Heavenly Star Empire for several years, and he is afraid that he has won the hearts of many people. In terms of financial resources alone, it is enough to throw off Wu Qin and several streets.

Therefore, if there are no other hole cards, at the meeting ten days later, the people of the four major families are afraid that they will choose Wu Tian.

After all, no one likes to be with the weak, and if they lose, they themselves are afraid that they will be implicated.

Moreover, the strength of the four great families cannot be underestimated, and it is also a force that cannot be ignored, if it can be co-opted, Wu Qin's chances of winning can also be increased.

Furthermore, what about the group of powerful blue-robed cultivators around Wu Qin?

In terms of quantity, it is very close to those cultivators he demonized, but even if those people are enhanced in talent after being demonized, they will only be promoted to the elder level in a few months.

If it is demonized in battle, I am afraid that it will also reach the sect master level, and it will be too high to the elder level if it breaks through the sky.

But this is the Celestial Star Empire, a High Empire.

There are definitely some generals in Wu Tian's hands who have cultivated beyond the level of the Supreme Elder, but why are they still defeated?

The reason for this is worth Li Chen's attention.

Li Chen initially suspected that the cultivation of these people must be close again, and the reason was Wu Qin.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Wu Qin to control them, and Wu Qin's own cultivation would inevitably skyrocket to a terrifying level.

Judging from the information obtained before, Wu Qin's cultivation should have been sealed before, and this is only the appearance of entering the Xuantian realm for the first time.

Now, I'm afraid he broke the seal.

Also, what was the gray mist that Wu Qin fed Xiao Yan, and why did those excess energy crystals contain such a strong devouring aura?

Many questions were still piling up in Li Chen's heart, even though he had solved them a little after coming to Bright Star City, Li Chen still felt that there seemed to be something hidden behind all this.

He had to try to find out these things, so at this stage, he couldn't meet with Wu Qin, or even contact Wu Qin's forces.

After all, he is now alone, with a small target and is not easy to find, so it is good to take advantage of this opportunity to lay out.

If you get into the middle of the fight and are noticed by the other party, not to mention whether someone will deal with you, I'm afraid it won't be as casual as it is now.

After making a decision, Li Chen first let go of the idea of going to see Wu Qin.

Since he has positioned himself as a dark chess piece, he must not be exposed until then, and even ...... Get inside the enemy!

There was a wise and deep light flashing in his eyes, and Li Chen's next step was to collect information and wait for an opportunity. While practicing swordsmanship, delve into the first form of the sword style -- the sky dance!

Or continue to comprehend the information about the devouring power in your mind, and strive to make it a whole as soon as possible, and then channel the light of heaven to make your strength go further.

In this way, two days passed slowly.

On this day, Li Chen still left Xiao Yan in the courtyard to familiarize himself with the feeling after his strength was improved.

Strive to be able to control that power as soon as possible, so that you can exert more power in future battles.

And Xiao Yan also knew that Li Chen and Wu Qin both needed strong helpers, so they also changed their past frolicking and tried their best to familiarize themselves with their own strength.

As for Li Chen himself, he began to go to the west of Shining Star City.

Now, Wu Qin and Wu Tian are two big guys, one occupies the east of Shining Star City, and the other occupies the west of Shining Star City.

As for the south and north of the city, they are occupied by the four great families.

The west of the city that Li Chen is going to now is Wu Tian's sphere of influence!
