You get Lu Bu as your starting character.

Chapter 392 That Third Prince can give it a try
Big week.

High in the sky.

Of the nine half-saint elders of the Ziyang Sect and Qingyun Sect, seven died and two fled.

This outcome is something that neither the Ziyang Sect nor the Qingyun Sect could have predicted.

A series of subtle auras probed from the distant void.

The battle between demigods was earth-shattering.

Although they didn't shatter the void like saints, the shockwaves of the battle still spread far and wide, alarming powerful figures from all directions.

Even though they were thousands of miles apart, these powerful individuals could still sense the spatial fluctuations of the great battle.

As Zhou Chen watched the Second Elder of the Qingyun Sect and the First Elder of the Ziyang Sect flee, and listened to their angry echoes in the void, a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

These people seem to have become accustomed to being high above others, looking down on the world.

They thought that their strength allowed them to do whatever they wanted and act tyrannically.

I don't know.

What this world has no shortage of is people with strong power and big fists.

No one can truly be invincible under heaven, not even the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Now that these people have suffered a loss, they're making threats and leaving behind harsh words.

But would the Great Zhou be afraid of such a threat?

Perhaps, the current strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty cannot compare to behemoths like the Qingyun Sect and the Ziyang Sect.

But it won't be long before the Great Zhou catches up.

Moreover, this period of time will not be too long.

Once Zhou Chen signs in and produces a person of demigod level or above, then Great Zhou will fear no challenge.

Zhou Chen glanced at the seven half-saints who had died from the Qingyun Sect and Ziyang Sect, but had not yet had time to express his opinion.

at this time.

Roll! Roll! Roll!

A sound like wheels rolling over the void slowly rose up.

The sound of wheels rolling over seemed very distant, yet it resounded clearly in Zhou Chen's ears.

Zhou Chen looked up.

A luxurious chariot, pulled by the nine-headed demon, slowly approached from the distant horizon.

The vehicle was embroidered with five-clawed blue dragons, and the chassis was made of an unknown material, seemingly unaffected by the void.

The nine-headed demons pulling the vehicle were all seventh-tier demons, exuding extraordinary power.

Such a vehicle exudes an aura of unparalleled luxury, making it seem like something to be admired from afar.

The status of the person sitting in the car is evident.

in a blink.

The nine-headed demon pulled its chariot and arrived nearby.

Zhou Chen then noticed that a squad of golden-armored soldiers were following behind his vehicle.

These armored soldiers were few in number, only about a hundred.

However, each of the armored warriors had reached the Reincarnation Realm.

This gave Zhou Chen a slight shock.

It should be understood that a Venerable of the Reincarnation Realm is considered a figure at the very top of the pyramid in any dynasty.

Like the Great Yan and Great Yue, which were destroyed by the Great Zhou, the Venerables of the Reincarnation Realm were all beings who suppressed the foundation of the state.

But the squad of armored soldiers following behind this carriage were all Venerables of the Reincarnation Realm. How could this not be shocking?

Zhou Chen looked at his car.

Zhou Chen was eager to see who had such a grand entourage.

Not only were they able to command a nine-headed, seventh-tier demon to pull the chariot, but they also had a team of armored guards, all of whom were at least Samsara Realm Venerables.

This spectacle is far grander than that of any emperor of any dynasty.

Even Zhou Chen, the emperor of the Great Zhou, cannot compare.

……

below.

Qingfeng Palace.

Mu Yuyan was still in shock.

Mu Yuyan was surprised to find that of the nine half-saint elders from the Ziyang Sect and Qingyun Sect, seven had died and only two had escaped.

This result is extremely astonishing.

When Mu Yuyan saw the nine-headed demon's chariot appear high in the sky, her expression of astonishment immediately changed.

Even Steward Yang, standing nearby, became serious upon seeing the carriage pulled by the nine-headed demon high in the sky.

Because they all recognized the vehicle that the nine-headed demon was pulling.

That was the most unique vehicle in the entire Eastern Region.

While not unique, they are certainly few and far between.

Anyone with a discerning eye would recognize this vehicle.

Because it belonged to the overlord of the Eastern Region, the third prince of the Azure Dragon Dynasty, as his mount.

He was also the person Mu Yuyan was betrothed to in the imperial court.

Mu Yuyan looked at the nine-headed demon pulling its slowly approaching chariot high in the sky, her expression somber; "Uncle Yang, he's here."

When Mu Yuyan made the deal with Zhou Chen, she knew that this day would come.

But Mu Yuyan never expected that this day would come so soon.

"Yes, Miss, don't worry."

"With Lu Bu and the other three invincible demigods around, there shouldn't be any major problems."

"Let's watch first!"

Manager Yang nodded and solemnly gazed at the sky.

……

high in the air.

After the nine-headed demon's carriage came to a stop.

An indifferent voice sounded.

"good."

"Three invincible half-saints, facing the combined forces of four invincible half-saints and five high-level half-saints from the Qingyun Sect and Ziyang Sect, were actually able to kill seven people."

“Your combat strength has probably exceeded the level of a half-saint and reached the level of a saint.”

A young man lifted the curtain on the vehicle and stepped out.

The young man was handsome and extraordinary, with a jade-like face and a purple crown. He was truly a man of exceptional talent.

His fine clothes accentuated the young man's noble air.

The four-clawed azure dragon on the jade robe, in particular, elevated the young man's aura to a whole new level.

After stepping out of his carriage, the young man glanced at Lü Bu, Yang Zaixing, and Long Ju, and said, "Your strength is not bad. Would you like to come and serve my dynasty?"

"The three of you have probably reached the pinnacle of your cultivation. If you have enough resources, you should be able to break through soon."

"My dynasty can provide you with sufficient resources to further enhance your strength."

The young man looked at Lü Bu and Yang Zaixing and said.

"Oh, right."

"I am the third prince of the Azure Dragon Dynasty. As long as you are willing to serve my dynasty, I can guarantee that you will have enough cultivation resources."

"I can even find a way to resolve the matter of you killing seven half-saint elders from the Qingyun Sect and Ziyang Sect."

"Although the three of you are powerful and have surpassed the level of a half-saint, you are not yet true saints."

"Compared to a sage, your strength is still somewhat lacking."

"Qingyun Sect and Ziyang Sect are both top-tier sects. Although their strength is not comparable to that of my Qinglong Dynasty, it is not far behind."

“The three of you killed seven half-saint elders from the Qingyun Sect and the Ziyang Sect. The Qingyun Sect and the Ziyang Sect will not let this go.”

“If they send two saints, the three of you will be in big trouble.”

The young man, taking advantage of the situation, spoke while also introducing himself to Lü Bu and the other two.

The third prince of the Azure Dragon Dynasty—this is a status that is definitely respectable in the Eastern Region.

Even a figure like a demigod must be treated with utmost care.

For an ordinary person, his identity as the Third Prince of the Azure Dragon Dynasty might actually be useful, and his words might have an unexpected effect.

Unfortunately, Lü Bu, Yang Zaixing, and Long Ju were no ordinary people.

All three of them were outstanding individuals selected by Zhou Chen. They were loyal only to His Majesty and served only the Great Zhou.

The identity of the Third Prince of the Azure Dragon Dynasty may seem unattainable to others, but to the three of them, it's nothing at all.

Let alone the Third Prince of the Azure Dragon Dynasty, even if the Emperor of the Azure Dragon Dynasty came, they wouldn't back down.

As for the resources mentioned by the Third Prince of the Azure Dragon Dynasty and the trouble caused by killing the seven half-saint elders of the Purple Sun Sect and the Azure Cloud Sect, Lu Bu and his two companions were even less concerned.

Are they afraid of the retaliation from the Ziyang Sect and the Qingyun Sect?
Will they lack resources?

If they feared retaliation from the Ziyang Sect and Qingyun Sect, they wouldn't have killed the seven half-saint elders of the two sects.

If they lacked resources, they wouldn't have the strength they have today.

"Hmph, does your Azure Dragon Dynasty even deserve our service?"

Lu Bu, Yang Zaixing, and Long Ju all snorted coldly.

Anyone could hear the disdain in his tone.

A hint of gloom immediately flashed across the young man's face.

As the overlord of the Eastern Region, no one has ever dared to underestimate the existence of the Azure Dragon Dynasty.

Even top sects like the Ziyang Sect and the Qingyun Sect wouldn't dare.

However, these three mere half-saints thought they had some strength after killing seven half-saint elders from the Ziyang Sect and Qingyun Sect, so they dared to underestimate the Azure Dragon Dynasty.

They truly have no idea how high the sky is or how thick the earth is.

"presumptuous."

Four powerful auras pressed towards Lü Bu, Yang Zaixing, and Long Ju.

Lu Bu, Yang Zaixing, and Long Ju all unleashed their auras simultaneously, meeting their opponent head-on.

The three of them had just gone through a great battle, but that didn't mean they couldn't handle four invincible demigods.

That's right.

These four powerful auras that pressed towards Lu Bu and his two companions were all from invincible semi-saints.

This must be the power of the strong individuals protecting the Third Prince of the Azure Dragon Dynasty.

The two sides were locked in a standoff.

They seemed ready to take matters into their own hands at the slightest provocation.

The Third Prince glanced coldly at Lu Bu and the other two, said nothing more, and then turned his gaze to Zhou Chen.

at this time.

Zhou Chen's face had already darkened.

Anyone would be upset if their partner was poached right in front of them.

"You are the emperor of the Great Zhou?"

The Third Prince looked at Zhou Chen and asked calmly.

"Third Prince of the Imperial Dynasty, you have come to my Great Zhou, do you not know my identity?"

Zhou Chen also looked at the young man.

The third prince of the Azure Dragon Dynasty—his identity is indeed extraordinary.

Nine-headed, seventh-tier demons pulling the carriage, with Venerables of the Reincarnation Realm serving as guards—this was quite a grand affair.

The Third Prince ignored Zhou Chen's confrontational tone; "I never expected that a mere indigenous dynasty that merged into the Great Wilderness would have four invincible half-saints."

"This really surprised me."

The Third Prince spoke slowly.

"However, your Great Zhou should not rely on its strength to conquer cities and destroy other dynasties, thus disrupting the stability of the Eastern Region."

"In the five regions of the Central Plains, there is a clear imperial decree that no dynasty may launch a war to conquer another dynasty; this is the rule."

"But your Great Zhou broke the rules and disobeyed the Emperor's decree, first attacking Great Yue and then destroying Great Yan."

"Your Great Zhou is provoking war in the Eastern Regions and causing chaos there."

The Third Prince calmly looked at Zhou Chen.

"Such a big hat, my Great Zhou cannot bear it."

"You should go and say this to the emperors of Great Yan and Great Yue, and ask them why they attacked Great Zhou without cause and started a war."

Zhou Chen glanced at the Third Prince indifferently.

When it comes to verbal sparring, Zhou Chen is second to none.

Zhou Chen's meaning was clear: if you want to use the rules as an excuse, then go talk to Da Yue and Da Yan first.

It was the Great Yan and Great Yue that first provoked the war, sending troops to attack the Great Zhou.

Upon hearing Zhou Chen's words, the Third Prince's eyes flickered; "I do not know whether the Great Yan and Great Yue have sent troops to attack your Great Zhou."

"But your Great Zhou has conquered and destroyed Great Yan and Great Yue, which is an undeniable fact. Your Great Zhou's attempts to argue will be useless."

At this point, the Third Prince changed the subject.

"Furthermore, your Great Zhou has four invincible half-saints. If you were the emperor of Great Yan or Great Yue, would you send troops to attack them?"

"Unless the emperors of Great Yan and Great Yue have gone mad and are eager to die."

"otherwise."

"They wouldn't do something so foolish as to destroy themselves."

The Third Prince looked at Zhou Chen.

"I have come to the Great Zhou Dynasty on orders to invite you to the Imperial Court."

"The imperial dynasty has the responsibility to supervise all the major dynasties. Your Great Zhou has conquered the Great Yue and Great Yan dynasties. Your Majesty and all the ministers of the imperial dynasty are waiting for you to go to the imperial dynasty to explain this matter."

Go to the Imperial Dynasty?
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen sneered inwardly.

If he really goes to the imperial court, will he have any chance to come back?

That would be like throwing a meat bun to a dog – it's gone forever.

Zhou Chen wouldn't be so foolish as to willingly go and die.

He will go to the Imperial Dynasty, but not now.

"I am too busy with state affairs to go to the Imperial Court. I'm afraid the Third Prince will have to make a wasted trip."

Zhou Chen said calmly.

"What if I, the Crown Prince, insist on inviting you today?"

The Third Prince stared at Zhou Chen with a somewhat aggressive gaze.

"Then the Third Prince can give it a try."

Zhou Chen narrowed his eyes slightly as he met the Third Prince's gaze.

Their eyes met.

The intense exchange sparked quite a bit of excitement.

The atmosphere became heavy at that moment.

Whether it was Lu Bu and Yang Zaixing, or the four invincible half-saints beside the Third Prince, and hundreds of Samsara Realm warriors, they all stared intently at each other.

It seems like a conflict could erupt at any moment.

"very good."

After a while.

The Third Prince withdrew his gaze and turned back to his carriage.

"Walk."

A sound fell.

The nine-headed demon pulled his vehicle around and left.

The four invincible half-saints and the hundreds of Samsara Mirror Venerable warriors all withdrew their auras and turned to leave with the Third Prince's carriage.

In the blink of an eye, the nine-headed demon's chariot disappeared into the distant void.

It can be said that this third prince of the Azure Dragon Dynasty came quickly and left quickly.

Zhou Chen stared in the direction where the Third Prince of the Azure Dragon Dynasty had left, his eyes gleaming.

Lu Bu, Yang Zaixing, and the others standing nearby all had slightly furrowed brows.

Originally, they thought they were going to have a fight, a real battle!

result.

After a brief standoff, the Third Prince of the Azure Dragon Dynasty uttered a single word, "Very good," and then turned and left.

What does it mean?
This left Lü Bu, Yang Zaixing, and the others completely baffled.

"Your Majesty, should we take action and capture them?"

Lu Bu, Yang Zaixing, and the others all looked at Zhou Chen.
