Above the official road of the royal city, a group of people were walking side by side.

However, the clothes, colors, and the aura emitted by this group of people are clearly distinguished.

It obviously comes from two different families.

Beihan Family and Nanyan Family!

The geniuses of the two families, Bei Hanwu and Nan Yanlong, are also among them.

At this time, they were discussing what happened at the gate of the Zhou royal mansion a few days ago.

And the protagonist of that matter: Li Chen, a casual cultivator!

Since the Gu family’s ancestor immortal went, the situation in the just stable Flame Dragon Dynasty has suddenly become tense again, and many people are worried that the tragedy that would repeat sixty years ago.

After all, the Gu family’s ancestor has gone to immortality, and the Gu family’s overall strength has dropped significantly.

Although the current monarch Gu Tianchun is not a foolish lord, his strength and influence are far inferior to his father.

Of course, in a short period of time, the Gu family can still rely on their previous prestige to maintain their dominance and maintain this delicate balance.

However, all this was changed because of the sudden appearance of the casual cultivator named Li Chen!

The most intuitive change is that the Du family leader Du Yidao was killed.

Du Yidao was originally loyal to the royal family, but now he was killed by Li Chen, which greatly weakened the already precarious royal family's strength.

One rises and the other falls, and the Zhou family, which was already rising strongly, is even stronger.

The most important thing is that Li Chen was invited back by the Zhou family, and he has an indescribable and unclear relationship with the Zhou family.

Although the Zhou family is trying hard to distinguish between themselves and Li Chen, no one can guarantee whether what they said is true or false.

Maybe Li Chen forced Du Yidao to kill Du Yidao, and the Zhou family was secretly instructing him!

Speaking of Li Chen, Li Chen will arrive!

Just as Nan Yanlong and Bei Hanwu were discussing Li Chen, Li Chen's figure suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Li Chen, why are you here?"

Nan Yanlong had sharp eyes and was the first to see Li Chen.

Bei Hanwu was also so shocked that her eyes widened, full of shock.

When the guards of the two families saw Li Chen appearing suddenly, they were worried that he would be unfavorable to their master, so they all used weapons and magic weapons to be on guard.

After a while, Nan Yanlong waved to the left and right, signaling them not to be so nervous.

Then he stepped forward and walked a few steps, faced Li Chen and asked, "Li Chen, what are you doing?"

Li Chen responded with a blank expression: "I want to negotiate a deal with you two!"

Nan Yanlong and Bei Hanwu looked at each other, and both of them saw doubts in each other's eyes.

After a while, Nan Yanlong asked, "What deal?"

Li Chen replied casually: "It is related to Beichen Emperor Cave, I think you will be very interested!"

When I heard the "Northern Emperor Cave", both the Nanyan Dragon and the Beihanwu showed shock.

Nan Yanlong asked, "What are you going to talk about?"

Li Chen responded slowly: "It's very simple. If you hand over the tortoise shell fragments of your two families, and combine seven pieces, you can open the entrance to the Beichen Emperor Cave!"

Nan Yanlong looked puzzled and asked, "Although this method is good, do you think the royal family Gu family will agree?"

Before the other party could finish his speech, Li Chen gave a positive answer.

"They have agreed. Now I have seven tortoise shells. I have five of them, and I am the only one of you two!"

Hearing Li Chen's words, Bei Hanwu and Nan Yanlong were stunned.

After a long time, Bei Hanwu, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke, "What if we don't agree?"

Li Chen smiled harmlessly and said lightly: "In this case, the problem is very simple. If you destroy both of you, just rob them!"

When everyone's faces changed drastically when they heard Li Chen's crazy words, including Nan Yanlong and Bei Hanwu.

The atmosphere just eased, and the situation became tense again.

Nan Yanlong and Bei Hanwu exchanged glances with each other.

Then, Nan Yanlong asked in an extremely serious tone: "Li Chen, I want to know, are you representing yourself or the Zhou family?"

If it is the latter, it means that the Zhou family can no longer sit still and wants to take the lead in attacking.

However, Li Chen did not give a clear answer to this question, but replied very vaguely.

"This question is not important. What is important is that you two have only these two paths to go, and there is no third one. Of course, if you think that I, Li Chen, are talking nonsense and do not have the strength to destroy you two, you can try it!"

Nan Yanlong and Bei Hanwu saw Li Chen talking very relaxed and casually, and he kept beating his heart.

They couldn't figure out whether Li Chen was bluffing or confident!

After all, this matter is too much involved, so they can't help but be careful.

"Li Chen, this matter is of great importance. I can't even make the decision. I need to go home and ask for instructions from the ancestor!"

Nan Yanlong said, and after he said that, he also glanced at Bei Hanwu.

Bei Hanwu didn't say anything, which was considered to be accustomed to his proposal.

Li Chen glanced at them one after another and smiled slightly.

"Yes, I'll give you three days to think about it!"

After Li Chen finished speaking, before Nan Yanlong and Bei Hanwu could answer again, his figure began to fade until it disappeared completely.

Seeing Li Chen's magical powers inadvertently revealed, Bei Hanwu and Nan Yanlong were both shocked.

They originally took it for granted that they were the pride of heaven and could even compare with the saints of the seven sects.

But now it seems that they are really wrong.

Not to mention the saint son and saint of the seven great holy sects, even the casual cultivator Li Chen in front of him can get rid of the two of them in terms of cultivation talent.

This really corresponds to the old saying: There is heaven beyond heaven, and there is someone beyond man!

...

At the same time, the Zhou family:

No one from the Zhou family would have thought that Li Chen's cultivation was so powerful that he killed Du Yidao, the head of the Du family with just one sword.

Moreover, since Li Chen was the guest of honor invited by the Zhou family.

Now that Li Chen killed Du Yidao, the account will definitely be settled on their Zhou family.

In fact, the city has been rumored to be full of wind and rain outside, saying that the Zhou family secretly instructed Li Chen to force the Du family leader Du Yidao. The purpose is to cut off the royal wings and prepare for the uprising.

The royal family was frightened by it, and the Zhou family was also very uneasy.

This made the already subtle situation even more turbulent.

In the past few days, Zhou Zheng, the head of the Zhou family, was busy with great difficulty. He summoned the senior management of the family overnight to urgently discuss what might happen next and corresponding countermeasures.

The hawks advocated that when the royal family was not ready, they should take action first. They should attack in advance, control the entire dynasty, and take the initiative.

Doves think that it is not the time yet, and they should still follow the original plan and make steady progress. Only in this way can they have the plan to succeed.

Otherwise, if you blindly raise an army to resist the royal family, the chance of failure is much greater than the chance of success.

Even if you succeed by luck, it will be a situation where both sides suffer losses.

You know, the entire dynasty is not only the Zhou family and the Gu family, but also the Nanyan and Beihan families are staring at each other.

If you are not fully prepared, it is very likely that you are making wedding clothes for others.

The hawks and doves were quarreling, and the reasons raised by both sides seemed to be very sufficient.

At the end of the argument, both sides did not make a sure result, so they had to kick the ball towards the head of the family Zhou Zheng, and he would make the final plan.

Zhou Zheng was also in a dilemma for this and was in a dilemma.

After all, this is related to the life and death of the entire family.

If there is a slight negligence, the entire Zhou family will be completely destroyed like the Xia family sixty years ago...
