"You are stronger than me, are you still afraid that I will take advantage of you and stab you in the back?"
Wu Zhankuang smiled bitterly.
Ye Chen didn't answer, the expression on his face changed.
If a quasi-emperor could be brought under his command, it would be much smoother to pacify the entire southern region.
But after all, he had killed the other party's son and caused such great losses to the Southern Territory Alliance. It was absolutely impossible for the other party to be convinced. Once he found the opportunity, he would definitely bite back.
"Ye Chen, what are you still hesitating about?"
At this time, Cheng Lie flew over and urged: "Hurry up and agree, Senior Wu is a powerful quasi-emperor. Once you swear allegiance, it will be beneficial to you and me without any harm!"
"Thank you Mr. Cheng for your trust!"
Wu Zhankuang hurriedly cast a grateful look.
But Ye Chen asked again: "Are you sure you want to let him go?"
"certainly!"
Cheng Lie pointed at Wu Zhankuang, "He has already chosen to surrender. Do you still have the heart to kill him?"
After a pause, he added: "What's more, we are currently short of manpower to deter the forces in the southern region. If he comes forward, it will save us a lot of time!"
"It seems that you are determined to unify the Southern Territory!"
Ye Chen said thoughtfully.
"How can you achieve great things without any ambition?"
Cheng Lie admitted without hesitation: "It is not so much ambition, but ambition, ambition, dream...etc., anyway, the essence is the same, but the views and perspectives are different, resulting in two extremes.
It’s just a deviation!”
Seeing that Ye Chen still didn't speak, he said again: "Since you don't want it, then let him be loyal to me!"
"This... is okay too!"
Ye Chen only hesitated for a moment before answering, "However, if there are any consequences, it's none of my business!"
"certainly!"
Cheng Lie nodded, then looked at Wu Zhankuang, "Are you willing to be loyal to me?"
"willing!"
Wu Zhan Kuang responded without thinking.
"good very good!"
Cheng Liefei stepped forward, reached out and patted Wu Zhankuang on the shoulder.
Originally, Wu Zhankuang wanted to avoid subconsciously, but after a quick reckoning, he decided not to move, and Cheng Lie's palm patted his shoulder.
"Huh?
It seems you Fanyun Sect people are here!"
Suddenly, Cheng Lie seemed to have discovered something, looked at the sky behind Wu Zhan Kuang and said.
"We are from the Fanyun Sect?"
Wu Zhankuang subconsciously turned around.
As a result, there was not a single ghost shadow in the sky behind.
But when he turned around, there was a "swish" sound, and he only felt a chill on his neck.
The next moment, he suddenly felt that the world around him was spinning, and with every rotation, he could see that his body was getting further and further away from his eyes.
There was no head on his body, only bright red blood like spring water gushing out from his neck.
"He actually took the opportunity to sneak attack me!"
This is the only thing that the martial arts maniac can think of before his consciousness completely disappears.
The next moment, his mind fell into an eternal state of death.
In the sky above, Ye Chen's pupils shrank violently as he looked at Wu Zhan Kuang, whose body and head were missing. "You actually killed him?"
Just now Cheng Lie kept saying that he would accept the allegiance of Wu Zhan Kuang, and even he believed it.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Wu Zhankuang's head was chopped off by Cheng Lie.
"Yes, I killed him!"
Cheng Lie put away the bloody dagger, "He knows some of my secrets. Unless he dies, he will pose a threat to me at any time!"
"in addition……"
He added: "Don't forget, not only did his son die in our hands, but the three major forces in the southern region were also turned upside down by us. Once he finds the right opportunity, he will definitely pose an extremely fatal threat to us. This kind of person,
Do you dare to stay with me?"
Ye Chen didn't answer.
He didn't know this, but the other party chose to surrender. With his behavior, even if he didn't trust the other party, he would not choose to kill them on the spot.
The most important point is that he actually wanted the other party to take the poison he developed just now, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling the other party.
But now that everyone is dead, it is useless to say more.
"By the way, what's your secret?"
As his thoughts whirled, he asked curiously: "It seems that this secret must be very important, otherwise you wouldn't be eager to kill him and silence him!"
"Since you don't know, that's for the best!"
Cheng Lie smiled slyly.
Ye Chen did not ask further questions, but just said: "Then are you going to take down the three giants and then let you control the entire Southern Territory?"
"Roughly the same!"
Cheng Lie did not deny it, but immediately he asked: "What about you, do you want to come with me?"
"I?"
Ye Chen shook his head, "I'm not very interested in power, so I won't participate!"
"This is the country we have built together, and with your strength, even if you want to take the top spot, no one dares to object. Wouldn't it be a pity to just give up like this?"
Cheng Lie smiled.
"Stop testing me!"
Ye Chen stared at Cheng Lie closely, "I am fighting with you for control of the southern region, but I also hope you can treat my friends and Haoshan well!"
"Haoshan?"
Cheng Lie was startled and then suddenly realized, "I forgot that you are from Haoshan Mountain, and if my guess is correct, you came to the Southern Territory over the mountains and ridges just because you don't want Haoshan Mountain to be discriminated against again, and
To resolve the Southern Territory Alliance’s oppression of Haoshan, right?”
"good!"
Ye Chen nodded, "Since the Southern Territory Alliance has been overthrown, it's time for me to leave!"
"Where are you going?"
Cheng Lie asked.
"The abyss of sin!"
"The abyss of sin?"
Cheng Lie's pupils shrank slightly and he asked in surprise: "What are you doing there?"
"Gone to rob some unfinished business!"
Ye Chen said vaguely and perfunctorily.
In fact, as early as in Haoshan Mountain, when he obtained the relics left by Emperor Haoran from the Wanzhang Peak, he had already prepared to take a trip to the so-called Abyss of Sin.
Because not only was the Regicide Sword in his hand stolen from the Abyss of Sin by Emperor Haoran, but even some of the exercises and combat skills he practiced also came from the Abyss of Sin.
In particular, the hostility in the Regicide Sword has not been truly eliminated. It was only suppressed by force because his cultivation level reached the emperor level.
Once he is accidentally seriously injured, the hostility in the Regicide Sword will take the opportunity to fight back, causing him to follow in the footsteps of Emperor Haoran.
To completely eliminate this hidden danger, you need to go to the Abyss of Sin, find the place where the Regicide Sword was originally cast, and recast it with the spiritual fire of heaven and earth.
As long as it succeeds, not only can the hidden danger of the backlash of violent energy be completely eliminated, but the level of the Regicide Sword can also be made higher.
Apart from that, An An is still a member of the Soul Clan!
As for the Soul Clan, I heard they are also deep in the Abyss of Sin!
Therefore, whether it is for himself or to help An Xin control the powerful soul in his body, he must go to the Abyss of Sin.
"Since you don't want to tell me the purpose of going to the Abyss of Sin, I can't ask further, but..."
Cheng Lie gave Ye Chen a strange look and kindly reminded him: "As a friend, I still want to advise that the Abyss of Sin is not a kind place. Many people go there and basically never return!"
