When Chen Luoyang finished speaking, the other three people present all drew in a breath of cold air.
The Chu Emperor Cheng Hui had a total of seven children, five males and two females.
The fourth son of the Emperor, Cheng Huyuan, and the third son of the Emperor, Cheng Qiyuan, were personally killed by Chen Luoyang.
The emperor’s second son, Cheng Fengyuan, died in Lin Yan’s hands.
Among them, Tu Shanyi was especially clear that Chen Luoyang played an undeniable role in Lin Yan’s smooth slaying of Cheng Fengyuan.
A Cloud Cold Ancient Jade was restraining the South Chu Imperial Family’s Glorious Scroll.
It could be said that the deaths of the three fallen princes of South Chu were all directly or indirectly related to Chen Luoyang.
Now, Chen Mu had his eyes on the eldest son of the emperor, Cheng
Longyuan…
Was he going to be exterminated?
In the mortal world, the Ancient Gods Clan and the South Chu Dynasty often clashed, killing many of the other party’s experts.
However, right now, everyone was working together to attack West Qin, so it wasn’t time for them to turn hostile.
Would Chen Luoyang’s actions affect the overall situation?
Would Sect Master Jiang Yi agree?
Xie Buxiu and Tu Shanyi thought as they glanced at Ning Jiuwei.
The eldest son of the South Chu Emperor, Cheng Longyuan, was a Martial Saint at the 16th realm like Chen Luoyang, Lin Yan, and Tang Yiming.
Moreover, among the new generation of experts in South Chu, he was second only to the Marquis of Fengxiang, Cheng Yingtian.
In other words, among the direct descendants of the royal family, he was the leader and was stronger than Cheng Fengyuan and the others.
Asking Ning Jiuwei, who was at the fifteenth level, to assassinate Cheng Longyuan was not something that could be described with the word “somewhat difficult”.
This was already a little difficult.
“Yes, sir.” Ning Jiuwei took a deep breath.
Tu Shanyi’s heart skipped a beat. He wanted to say something but stopped.
“What do you want to say?” ” You can speak freely, ” Chen Luoyang said indifferently. ” However, I will only look at the results of the tasks I have given you.
The bald man glanced at Ning Jiuwei and said,”We will naturally do our best for the matter that Cult Master Chen has instructed us to do. However, this subordinate heard your instructions just now to assassinate a target. This…”
Ning Jiuwei’s heart skipped a beat.
Assassinate a person.
Kill a person.
If one really had to pick words, these were two completely different things.
However, the problem at hand was that the final right of explanation was in Chen Luoyang’s hands.
It didn’t matter how Ning Jiuwei understood it. In the end, Chen Luoyang had the final say.
Chen Luoyang looked at them calmly. ” That’s right. What’s wrong with assassinating Cheng Longyuan? ”
“No problem.” Ning Jiuwei let out a sigh of relief.
Tu Shanyi and Xie Buxiu were deep in thought.
From the looks of it, he didn’t seem to be deliberately making things difficult for them.
He only needed to carry out the assassination. He didn’t have to kill Cheng
Longyuan.
But was it that simple?
It was obviously impossible.
In other words, the so-called assassination couldn’t just be a formality. It had to at least cause a substantial threat to Cheng Longyuan.
In the current situation, it might not be a good thing to kill Cheng Longyuan. It might affect the war in Western Qin.
The true purpose of the assassination was more like a cover to attract attention, so that it was easy to hide the true purpose and deceive everyone…
Of course, it was also possible that he had guessed wrongly. If the assassination failed, Chen Luoyang might even seek revenge. Then, Ning Jiuwei could only admit that he was unlucky.
But before that, at least this mission didn’t seem so hopeless.
However, it was still not simple.
The Chu Emperor personally led his troops to Western Qin, and Cheng Ying Tian and the other top experts of South Chu were all mobilized.
According to the information that the Ancient Gods Clan had, the eldest son of the crown prince, Cheng Longyuan, was almost the same as the crown prince. He stayed in the capital of South Chu to oversee the country.
No matter how empty South Chu was, there were still some experts in the Imperial City guarding it together with Cheng Longyuan.
Moreover, just like West Qin’s Zhengyang City, the city defense array of South Chu’s capital was also top-notch.
Assassination was easy to say and easy to do. However, if they really wanted to pose a threat, even the experts of the Ancient Gods Clan might not be enough.
Cult Master Chen, are we going to use all our spies in the South Chu Imperial City to cooperate with Miss Ning? ” Tu Shanyi asked.
Chen Luoyang glanced at him.
The bald man smiled respectfully.
Rather than asking for instructions, it was more like tactful advice.
In a situation where there was a shortage of manpower, even if all the spies were used together, it might not be effective. It would be a waste of time.
As for letting Ning Jiuwei go to the Southern Chu Imperial City alone…
It was impossible to fight with strength, but it was also difficult to win with wisdom.
“One person is enough.” “If we can seize this opportunity,” Chen Luoyang said indifferently.
Hearing the first half of Chen Luoyang’s words, the other three had slightly unnatural expressions.
However, when they heard the second half of the sentence, they looked at each other, feeling that there was something else.
Ning Jiuwei pondered for a moment and asked tentatively,”When we evacuate…’
“I’ll arrange for someone to pick you up.” “Move out as soon as possible.” Chen Luoyang glanced at Ning Jiuwei.
“Yes, sir.” Ning Jiuwei bowed to him.
The woman was straightforward. She walked out of the hall and left the Divine Devil Palace. She didn’t need to pack her luggage and left the Ancient Gods Clan’s headquarters for South Chu.
“Not bad.” “I admire people with guts.” Chen Luoyang smiled.
Tu Shanyi touched his bald head.
The so-called assassination, sometimes, how to escape after the assassination was the real difficulty.
Chen Luoyang allowed people to help him and wasn’t really inhumane. This gave Ning Jiuwei some reassurance.
From this perspective, perhaps this Deputy Patriarch Chen had his own plans and wasn’t really seeking revenge.
Of course, it was hard to say. Who knew what he was thinking? Maybe it depended on his mood?
Tu Shanyi and Xie Buxiu cursed in their hearts.
“Cult Master Chen, what if, I mean what if … Uh, no, it’s very likely. It’s very likely.” Xie Buxiu’s face was full of smiles as he said, ” You have a supreme plan. It’s very likely that you have created a very good opportunity. If Junior Sister
Ning really kills Cheng Longyuan, the Chu Emperor … ‘
“Doesn’t he have a younger son?” Chen Luoyang asked nonchalantly. I don’t have to worry about choosing a successor.”
Cult Master Chen, you’re right.” Xie Buxiu laughed dryly.
Four out of the five are missing, and it’s almost all done by you. For the smooth passing of the throne of South Chu and to prevent the brothers from fighting for the throne, Cult Master Chen, you’ve really worked hard.
. F * ck, those who didn’t know better would think that the youngest son of the Chu Emperor was your son, and that you were willing to go through so much trouble to help him clear the obstacles in his way to the throne.
If the Fifth Prince of South Chu really takes over the throne in the future, the person he should thank the most is you, okay?
Xie Buxiu and Tu Shanyi had almost the same thought in their minds. They were both silently cursing.
Although they were complaining, they were all worried.
Other than Ning Jiuwei, Chen Luoyang clearly had other arrangements.
If it is empty, it should be full; if it is full, it should be empty.
Perhaps Ning Jiuwei’s cover was actually Chen Luoyang’s other plan to get rid of Cheng Longyuan?
Of course, it would be good if he could kill a Martial Saint of South Chu, but it might not be of much use to the current situation. It might even force the Chu Emperor and the South Chu Dynasty to fall out completely.
They were old rivals. If they fell out with each other, so be it. Who was afraid of who?
However, this might affect the current situation of Jiang Yi and the Ancient Gods Clan in Western Qin.
. The real target of Cult Master Chen was not the other cult master of Ancient Gods Clan, right?
This was what Tu Shanyi and Xie Buxiu were most worried about.
Although they concealed it very well, Chen Luoyang could roughly guess what they were worried about.
However, he did not care.
Because Jiang Yi knew what he was going to do, the two of them had a tacit understanding.
To be precise, there was even some tacit understanding between him and the Chu Emperor.
Everyone’s attention was actually on the same place.
Xian Tian Palace.
Even if he accidentally killed Cheng Longyuan, the Chu Emperor might not immediately flare up.
Furthermore, Chen Luoyang didn’t have the intention to kill Cheng Longyuan.
Before they had the confidence to defeat the entire Western Qin Empire in one strike, Chen Luoyang and the Ancient Gods Clan would be happy to see a few more princes of South Chu having internal strife.
Ning Jiuwei, it was all up to her luck.
Chen Luoyang’s expression remained the same as he turned to look at Xie Buxiu.
Xie Buxiu was already feeling uneasy, and now that he was being stared at by this Vice Sect Leader Chen, he felt his hair stand on end.
“Cult Master Chen, I … He’s not good at fighting with others, and his strength is very weak. Although he can’t wait to follow you around and serve you at all times, he will only ruin your plans.” Xie Buxiu’s face was full of smiles. ” It’s true, it’s true. I’ve messed up all my previous tasks. It’s common for me to go in and out of the White Tiger Hall to receive punishment. I know that I’m incompetent, and I really want to make contributions to the Divine Religion. However, I’m really not that material…
Tu Shanyi covered his face with his hands.
Chen Luoyang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this.
He now understood what Tu Shanyi meant when he said that a person’s temperament was difficult to describe in a few words.
If Xie Buxiu’s statement was true and he had always been so useless, then he was probably not pretending to be cowardly, but was really so. However, this made Chen Luoyang click his tongue in wonder.
How did such a person cultivate to the fifteenth realm?
Innate talent alone was not enough.
If one’s willpower was not firm enough, and one’s heart was not confident enough, then even the best talent would be wasted.
In this world, a madman could be a martial arts expert, a madman could also be a madman, a treacherous villain, a despicable and shameless person could also be a person. It was fine if you had all kinds of problems, but if your will was not strong enough, people who lacked self-confidence were destined to not have great achievements in martial arts.
Many a time, a martial artist climbing up even required a kind of unreasonable confidence and fearlessness.
Every breakthrough was a challenge and a way to surpass oneself.
Ye Tian MO, for example, was still as arrogant as ever, even after suffering the wrath of the entire world in that great battle a hundred years ago.
In his dictionary, there was no such thing as “one by one”.
Even now, he was still the strongest existence under the Demon Venerable in the mortal world.
From another perspective, this was almost blind arrogance and arrogance.
However, without this ambition, it would be very difficult for martial artists to have such achievements.
Although it might sound like metaphysics, the illusory will had a deep influence on the reality of people to a certain extent.
Even the Chu Emperor, Jiang Yi, and the Great Emperor of the Western Qin Empire, who appeared to be calm or somewhat gloomy, had their own pride and paranoia in their hearts.
The confidence and pride in each person’s heart might be different, and not everyone was as wild as Ye Tianmo.
However, there was no doubt that it was far more arrogant and paranoid than ordinary people.
Facing the Demon Venerable, it seemed like everyone remained silent.
However, if they really touched the explosive point in their hearts, the result would most likely be that they would rather die than live in shame.
Of course, nothing was absolute.
Was it possible for him to really surrender?
Yes, but that often meant that there was no possibility of improvement, and it might even regress.
The longer Chen Luoyang practiced martial arts and the higher his cultivation, the deeper his feelings towards this matter became.
He was no exception in this regard.
Therefore, he was especially interested in Xie Buxiu.
He had failed many tasks, yet he was still able to enter the Divine Devil Palace. Clearly, the Sect Master Jiang Yi valued this person very much.
“Follow me.” Chen Luoyang looked at Xie Buxiu and said indifferently.
Xie Buxiu was like a frosted eggplant.
Then, he pounced toward Chen Luoyang as if he was hugging his thigh.. “”Sect
Master, please spare my life!”
