As soon as he said that, everyone immediately stood up and looked at the royal family’s ancestor with wine cups in their hands.
Of course, it wasn’t that statue. It was Zhou Muchun, who was standing to the right of Human King Zhou Tianke.
When Zhou Muchun saw this, he smiled as he raised his wine cup and said with a friendly expression,””Your Majesty, you flatter me. This old man only did what 1 should have done.”
“The Zhou Consortium nurtured this old man and allowed this old man to step onto the stage. This old man returned the favor and used his entire life to repay the Zhou Consortium.”
“There’s no need to mention gratitude.”
“Sigh, ancestor, please don’t be too modest.” Zhou Tianke smiled and said,” Anyone with eyes can see that if it wasn’t for the ancestor’s support, my royal family would have been bullied.””
“Let’s not talk about the distant events. If it weren’t for the Patriarch who went to suppress the demon tide in Jiang Prefecture decades ago, I’m afraid that the flood dragon demon emperor would have slaughtered our Jiang Prefecture.” “Speaking of this, Sect Master Wang has the most right to speak.”
Wang Shuo heard this and quickly stood up.” That makes sense. Although I was young, I also experienced the demon horde. I don’t want to experience that kind of despair again.”
“It’s also fortunate that the ancestor was here that the Jiang Prefecture wasn’t damaged. Just based on this, everyone in the Jiang Prefecture has to toast the ancestor.”
“If all of you give me a toast, I’ll drink myself to death.”After Zhou Muchun teased, he downed the wine in his cup in one gulp.” Alright, this old man will accept everyone’s cup of wine.”
Seeing Zhou Muchun gulp down the wine in one gulp, the others did not hesitate either and also drank the wine in their cups.
After everyone finished drinking, Zhou Muchun smiled and said,””Alright, this kind of banquet should belong to you young people. This old man won’t participate.”
“Everyone, please enjoy yourselves.”
After saying that, Zhou Muchun turned around and left. As for the people at the banquet, under Zhou Tianke’s lead, they shouted in unison,””Farewell, Patriarch.”
After the ancestor left, Zhou Tianke smiled at everyone.” Everyone, enjoy your drinks.””
The banquet officially began. As the lights intersected, there was laughter and joy.
As for Yang Chen, who was one of the seventh-rank forces, everyone toasted him. No one dared to look down on the patriarch of an eighth-rank aristocratic family.
Moreover, the Chen Family’s momentum was getting stronger and stronger. Almost everyone believed that Rank-7 was definitely not the Chen Family’s limit.
Everyone naturally tried their best to befriend this future star.
After the ceremony ended, Zhou Tianke sent Chen Yang and the other two off in a flying carriage, returning to Chen City.
After returning to Chen City, Chen Yang said to Zhou Tianli,””Master, let’s split up. I’ll go to the Endless Mountain Range.”
“As for you, Master, you will do as we said earlier and reveal a little bit of information about your Deshun Prince’s mansion.”
“The Piercing Guard of my Chen Clan will also assist master in his actions.”
“Don’t worry, I know what to do.”Zhou Tianli said.
Hearing this, Chen Yang nodded and secretly left Chen City. He rode the Underworld Dragon and rushed to Chen Jiao’s lair.
At the same time, in Zhou Muchun’s manor in Yingzhou.
Glancing at Sect Leader Xu, Zhou Muchun said indifferently,””I’ve probed a few things. First, Li ‘er has already broken through and entered the stage.”
“What?”
Sect Master Xu suddenly stood up and said with an incredulous expression,”How is this possible? How did Zhou Tianli break through? Where did he get the resources?”
“What a fuss.”
Zhou Muchun glanced at Sect Master Xu and continued unhurriedly,””Everyone has their secrets. Maybe Li ‘er grasped some secrets, which is why she broke through and went on stage.”
“You don’t have to worry, Li ‘er’s cultivation is only at the first level, it won’t affect our plan.”
Seeing Zhou Muchun’s words, Sect Master Xu heaved a sigh of relief. He immediately guessed,””Then is this Deshun Commandery Prince their trump card?”
“From Yang Chen’s words, I can sense that Li ‘er is their final trump card.”
“Of course, we can’t act so arbitrarily. We still have to investigate.
How about this, you send our most elite scouts into Chen City and investigate Chen City for me.”Zhou Muchun said.
Hearing this, Sect Master Xu nodded.” Don’t worry, sir. Leave this matter to me.””
“If it’s confirmed that their trump card is only the Deshun Commandery Prince, then should I go and destroy Chen Cheng?””
“After all, if it can save some trouble, then it can save a pill for Milord.”
Zhou Muchun glanced at Sect Leader Xu and immediately smiled.””I’m very satisfied with your filial piety.”
“But still, don’t be anxious. Even if their trump card is Li ‘er, you don’t need to make a move.”
“You don’t need me to do anything?”
Sect Master Xu frowned and asked tentatively,”Sir, do you mean that someone will help us deal with the Chen family?”
“Of course.”
Zhou Muchun’s eyes revealed a hint of viciousness.” A certain fellow is greedy and wants to extort something from me.”
“Humph! How can I, Zhou Muchun, take my things so easily?”
“Now, I hope that the Chen family is still hiding some secrets. In that case, we can make that damn guy pay the price!”
Looking at the gloomy expression on Zhou Muchun’s face, Sect Head Xu steeled his heart and slowly said,””There’s no need for the Chen family to hide their strength. We just need to injure that person.”
“When the time comes, we’ll let him destroy the Chen family for us. When he comes back, I’ll kill him.”
“Two birds with one stone. We have to dig out the remaining value of this person.”
Hearing this, Zhou Muchun laughed.” You’re a good fellow. You’re actually using your brain too.” Alright, we’ll do as you say.”
“If this matter is really done, when the people of the upper clan arrive, I will personally ask for your reward.”
Excitement appeared on Sect Master Xu’s face as he hurriedly stood up and said,””Thankyou, my lord!”
“Yes, it’s nothing. Go do your work. The premise of all these plans was that the information had to be transparent.”Zhou Muchun waved his hand, indicating for Sect Head Xu to leave.
“This subordinate will take his leave.”
In the Endless Mountain Range, Chen Jiao’s lair.
Yang Chen brought the Spirit Eared Fox to the pond and shouted,””Chen Jiao, your old friend is here. Why don’t you meet him?”
As soon as Yang Chen’s voice fell, the pool began to boil. Immediately after, Chen Jiao’s dragon head appeared above the pool.
“Roar!”
The Spirit Eared Fox quickly translated,”Yang Chen, why are you looking for me?””
Listening to the Spirit Eared Fox’s translation, Yang Chen smiled and said,””I have a small matter to ask a friend for help.”
“We’re all allies. There’s no need to invite me or not. If there’s anything, just say it.”Chen Jiao said.
“It’s like this. There are two things.”
“First, I need you to organize a wave of demons to attack my Chen City.
Of course, it wasn’t a real attack. It was just a show to test Chen Cheng’s bottom line.”
Chen Jiao tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said,”This matter is simple.. What about the second matter?”
