C4684 Time Was Running Out!
C4684 Time Was Running Out!
"Sigh."
"Forget it, report this matter to the Divine Emperor truthfully."
"I have no choice but to do so. Let's go."
The two of them moved and disappeared from where they were.
In the backyard of the Third Prince's mansion, Chen Xiao sat on the roof of the tall palace and looked down at the entire Divine Capital. It was a bustling scene, beautiful to the extreme.
Chen Xiao's expression was calm. He took out a jade slip and wrote on it. After that, he formed a seal with both hands and the jade slip instantly turned into a ray of light that flew out of the city. The direction was the Purple Cloud City.
At this time, Xi Luo jumped onto his shoulder and asked, "Are you reporting to your family?"
Chen Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, after coming out for so long, I have to return to report that I am safe and sound. Otherwise, something might happen."
"Heh, you are from the Gu Clan. In that case, you are planning to stay in the Divine Capital for a while?"
Xi Luo was a little surprised.
Chen Xiao did not deny it and replied, "If it's possible, I would like to leave as soon as possible. However, it seems that someone doesn't want me to leave. Heh."
"Oh?"
Xi Luo was stunned for a moment as if he had thought of something.
In the secret realm, Chen Xiao killed Li Xuan and eliminated all future troubles. At the same time, he had completely offended Li Zhan. Although Li Zhan did not personally witness it, he had long recognized this matter from the bottom of his heart.
It was good that they knew each other well and did not expose it.
"Woof."
At this time, Hei Zi, who was lying on the steps below, raised his head and called out. The other two Hell Hounds also raised their heads and looked outside the hall.
There was a black dog beside the Third Prince. It was a Hell Hound. Chen Xiao had promised to give one to him and keep it by his side so that it could protect him.
This could be considered as fulfilling his promise.
"Woof."
The Hell Hound beside the Third Prince cried out and quickly rushed to its companion, playing with it.
The Third Prince moved and rushed to Chen Xiao's side with an exceptionally serious expression.
Chen Xiao said with a cold smile, "It seems that the matter is very serious?"
Hearing that, the Third Prince was shocked and said in surprise, "Brother Chen Xiao, you already know?"
Chen Xiao shook his head and said, "I guessed it. This Divine Capital City has not been peaceful for a while."
The Third Prince's expression was incomparably serious as he nodded and said, "Yes, I heard some rumors. In order to deal with you, Li Zhan has already secretly gathered people and laid out a net outside the city. Once you leave the Divine Capital City, he will surround and kill you. This is too terrifying. Brother Chen Xiao, what are your plans?"
Chen Xiao laughed coldly and said, "It really is Li Zhan. This old thing can't think of any other way."
The Third Prince looked very anxious and said, "Li Zhan is very strong and his power is deeply rooted. If he wants to deal with Brother Chen Xiao, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Chen Xiao was indifferent. "If Li Zhan is really that powerful, why didn't he make a move in the Divine Capital?"
"This..." The Third Prince paused and said uncertainly, "He should have some misgivings. After all, the Divine Capital is the power of my father. Even someone as powerful as Li Zhan wouldn't dare to act recklessly. But what does that have to do with it?"
Chen Xiao laughed and said, "The relationship is big. At least the Divine Capital is safe now."
The Third Prince's heart trembled. "Brother Chen Xiao, are you planning to continue staying in the Divine Capital?"
"Yes, why not?" Chen Xiao asked.
The Third Prince thought for a moment. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with it. No matter how arrogant Li Zhan was, he wouldn't dare to make a move in the Divine Capital.
If that was the case, it would be equivalent to giving the Divine Emperor an excuse to order the entire Divine Dynasty to kill the traitor.
At that time, no matter how ambitious Li Zhan was, he wouldn't be able to stir up any trouble. Li Zhan was sure of this point, and he wouldn't be stupid enough to do such a thing.
Right now, the best way to deal with Li Zhan was to wait for the death of the Divine Emperor and then support the Seventh Prince to ascend the throne. Then, he could maximize his own benefits.
In this way, half of the Divine Dynasty would fall into Li Zhan's hands.
"This doesn't seem to be a problem. If Brother Chen Xiao can stay, it would be a good thing. However, won't it delay Brother Chen Xiao's cultivation?"
The Third Prince asked.
Chen Xiao shook his head and said indifferently, "Don't worry. I have obtained your father's treasury and a lot of treasures on me. These resources are enough for me to break through to the next stage."
It was precisely because he had things on him that he had such confidence.
Even if he didn't do anything now and only cultivated in seclusion, the treasures on him would be enough for him to use for a long period of time.
Moreover, with the Third Prince around, he could provide him with a lot of things, so there was no need to worry.
Hearing this, the Third Prince's eyes lit up, "Yes, then as Brother Chen Xiao said, just stay in the Imperial Residence and no one will dare to disturb you."
Right now, the lives of the two, as well as their interests, were tied together tightly, inseparable from each other.
The more powerful Chen Xiao was, the more benefits the Third Prince would have.
Thinking of this, he glanced at the hellhound who was running amok everywhere and immediately knew what to do.
Chen Xiao laughed out loud and said with a carefree expression, "That's great. I want to see how long Li Zhan can wait and how calm he can be."
When the Third Prince heard this, he also laughed.
After chatting for a while, the Third Prince left.
Chen Xiao flashed and appeared in the underground secret room. After carefully examining the array formation and barrier around him, he was relieved.
"Since I've made up my mind to fight Li Zhan here, I can also take this opportunity to cultivate and consolidate my strength."
Chen Xiao said indifferently.
"That's right. This is a good time." Xi Luo agreed.
"Okay."
Chen Xiao sat down. A blood-colored figure walked out of his body. It was the Blood Devil's clone. It looked very weak. It had been injured too heavily in the secret realm, and it would not be easy for it to recover in a short period of time.
Coincidentally, Li Zhan had set up a killing formation outside the city, but he did not jump in. He could take the opportunity to recuperate and gain many things in one go.
Chen Xiao casually took out a dozen bottles of pills and placed them in front of the Blood Devil's clone.
The clone glanced at them and picked up a bottle of pills on the ground. He poured all of them into his mouth, then picked up the Life Spirit Liquid and gulped it down to moisturize his throat.
Suddenly, the Blood Devil's clone's aura became stronger and more condensed. It began to heal and cultivate.
Chen Xiao smiled when he saw this. "It seems that the effect is not bad. It should be able to recover in three to five years at most."
"Yes, the Blood Devil's clone's recovery ability is extremely strong. It will take more than this much time. If an ordinary human cultivator were to suffer such a heavy injury, not only would they need excellent healing pills, they would not be able to recover in less than thirty to fifty years."
Xi Luo said indifferently.
"Yes."
Chen Xiao nodded and looked at the Blood Devil's clone a few more times. Seeing that it was all normal, he retracted his gaze.
Since he was prepared to fight with Li Zhan, he was in no hurry. He would take his time.
