Chapter 707 Zhao Lie Pays Homage to the Mountain
Huang Chao was very anxious, but Zhang Chen was not. He had the eleventh-level Sun True Fire, and he would not be afraid as long as the Great Sage Master did not come.

At worst it can be fifty-fifty, right?

"If you take the opportunity to escape now, Huang Tiandao hasn't heard from you yet. It's not too late for you to escape now." Huang Chao kept comforting him.

However, facing the anxious Huang Chao, Zhang Chen smiled gently and patted Huang Chao on the shoulder: "Don't be afraid, little brother! I am not as weak as you think, and Huang Tiandao is not as strong as you think."

After Zhang Chen finished speaking, he used his escape technique to leave, leaving Huang Chao standing there blankly. He looked at Zhang Chen's back and stomped his feet fiercely: "I admit that you are strong, but you have no idea how strong Huang Tiandao is."

"It's over. He is my biggest supporter. What should I do if he dies?" Huang Chao was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

Inside Chongzheng Academy

Zhang Chen used the art of escape to appear in front of the academy gate. Without noticing anything unusual, he continued to walk into the academy, and then entered the Linglong Tower to comprehend the rules of its operation.

At noon, a voice suddenly sounded from the foot of the mountain and spread throughout the entire academy: "Huang Chao, a monk of the Huang Tian Dao, has been ordered to deliver a visiting card."

Zhang Chen's heart moved when he heard this. He was very familiar with that voice, it was Huang Chao's voice.

"I didn't expect that it would be him who came to Chongzheng Academy to negotiate." Zhang Chen was surprised. No wonder Huang Chao knew the news first.

At this time, Zhou Zhen walked out of Linglong Tower and went down the mountain. After saying a few words to Huang Chao, he walked towards the back mountain with the visiting card.

All the way to the back mountain, Zhou Zhen was sitting in the courtyard organizing his knowledge, and Jiang Nan was silently organizing various documents beside Zhou Qiucheng, assisting Zhou Qiucheng in organizing his knowledge.

"Father, Huang Tiandao sent a letter." Zhou Zhen walked into the yard and handed the letter to Zhou Qiucheng.

Zhou Qiucheng took the note and took a look at it. He couldn't help but frowned. "Huang Tiandao is so bold that he dared to come to Chongzheng Academy to ask for someone. Does he really think that Jinling City is his, Huang Tiandao's, Jinling City?"

"I wonder why Huang Tiandao handed over the note?" Zhou Zhen asked.

"They want us to hand over Zhang Chen." Zhou Qiucheng handed the note to Zhou Zhen. Zhou Zhen opened the note and looked down at it. Jiang Nan, who was sorting documents nearby, paused, with a look of astonishment in his eyes.

"Huang Tiandao has such wild ideas that he actually dares to extend his hand to our Chongzheng Academy. How can we tolerate him?" Zhou Zhen's voice was full of coldness.

"That's right! Huang Tiandao committed such a tragedy in Jinling City, and I haven't settled accounts with them yet. Now they dare to reach out to Chongzheng Academy. We can take this opportunity to compete with Huang Tiandao and let him see who is the controller of Jinling City. Zhang Xiaohua is dead, and the great sage teacher is not here. Who should I be afraid of?" Zhou Qiucheng's eyes revealed a hint of pride.

"Call Zhang Chen here." Zhou Qiucheng said.

Zhou Zhen took the order and left. Not long after, he arrived at Linglong Tower and walked to Zhang Chen's side: "Dean, please come over."

"But is it about Huang Tiandao's matter?" Zhang Chen withdrew his gaze from the pattern on the wall and turned to look at Zhou Zhen.

"You guessed it all?" Zhou Zhen was stunned when he heard that.

"I'm not a fool. Why would Huang Tiandao easily come into conflict with the academy unless it was necessary?" Zhang Chen said.

"Don't worry. It is absolutely impossible for Huang Tiandao to arrest someone in my Chongzheng Academy!" Zhou Zhen gave Zhang Chen a reassurance.

Zhang Chen said nothing after hearing this. He followed Zhou Zhen to the backyard and met Zhou Qiucheng.

Zhou Qiucheng motioned Zhang Chen to sit down, and then handed the note in his hand to Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen was stunned after taking the note and reading it. It was indeed a note from Huang Tiandao asking for someone. He said that he hoped Zhou Qiucheng would give him face and Huang Tiandao would come to pick up the person in three days.

"Huang Tiandao is powerful and has connections with countless dignitaries. Sir, you should really save yourself the trouble and tie up your disciple and hand him over to Huang Tiandao." Zhang Chen glanced at the post and said to Zhou Qiucheng.

"Huang Tiandao is indeed powerful, but he is also the target of the imperial court. Now Huang Tiandao is not far from raising the flag of rebellion, and the imperial court has begun to order the secret suppression of Huang Tiandao. Huang Tiandao committed such a bloody crime in Jinling City, which is simply rubbing my face and the face of the imperial court on the ground. I originally wanted to settle accounts with Huang Tiandao after the discussion, but now that Huang Tiandao has taken the initiative to jump out, I will suppress them first, and then go and have a fight with that old guy Chen Sanliang." Zhou Qiucheng said to Zhang Chen:
"From today on, you must not leave the academy, lest you fall into Huang Tiandao's hands. Wait until I resolve this matter, then you can go down the mountain."

"Sir, why don't you ask Huang Tiandao why he arrested me?" Zhang Chen raised his head and looked at Zhou Qiucheng, his eyes full of inquiry.

Zhou Qiucheng smiled softly when he heard this: "You underestimate me too much."

Just one sentence made Zhang Chen stunned. Then he stood up and bowed solemnly to Zhou Qiucheng: "Disciple knows his mistake."

"This boy is teachable!" Zhou Qiucheng helped Zhang Chen up. "No matter what Huang Tiandao's purpose is, everything was doomed from the moment they started stirring up trouble in Jinling City. The mission of my Chongzheng Academy is to protect the safety of Jinling City. I cannot tolerate any sand in my eyes. Huang Tiandao wants to show off in front of me, but I will not allow it." Zhang Chen was very moved when he heard this. After talking with Zhou Qiucheng for a while, he got up and said goodbye.

"Zhou Qiucheng practices the way of 'impartiality and impartiality'. He is indeed a good person, a man who is as upright as can be. His character is a thousand times better than mine." Zhang Chen sighed quietly.

But before Zhang Chen had walked for long, he heard a burst of hurried footsteps and saw Jiang Nan quickly catching up from behind, blocking Zhang Chen's way.

Zhang Chen glanced at Jiang Nan and tried to walk around, but Jiang Nan held out his hand to stop him: "Zhang Chen, I have something to tell you."

"We two are strangers, and I don't want to listen to nonsense from strangers." Zhang Chen sneered.

Facing Zhang Chen's ridicule, Jiang Nan was not angry, but said solemnly: "Zhang Chen, you should know how powerful Huang Tiandao is. You can't be so selfish and involve the entire Chongzheng Academy. If you still have a conscience, leave the mountain quickly."

"Idiot." Zhang Chen looked at Jiang Nan coldly, then used his escape technique to disappear from the spot.

After three days, when the sun was at three poles high, the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds. No one knew where the majestic black clouds came from, and they covered the entire sky like an overwhelming force. The day seemed to turn into night.

"Gu Mingyue, why don't you stay in your own Yangtze River area and come to my Chongzheng Academy?" At this moment, a dissatisfied voice resounded through the sky, and Zhou Qiucheng walked down the mountain with a gloomy face. He stood in front of the mountain gate, looked at the rolling black clouds in the sky, and shouted.

The next moment, the water vapor in the air gathered and turned into a human figure, which appeared ten meters away from Zhou Qiucheng. He was wearing a light blue dress and a yellow scarf on his head. He was one of the Twelve True Men of Huang Tiandao, the God of the Yangtze River: Gu Mingyue.

"Greetings, Dean." Gu Mingyue bowed angrily to Zhou Qiuzheng.

"Chongzheng Academy is a place personally conferred by Emperor Dasheng. You dare to come here and act so presumptuously. Even if you become the water god of the Yangtze River, the imperial court will not forgive you." Zhou Qiucheng looked at Gu Mingyue coldly.

Gu Mingyue smiled bitterly upon hearing this: "Sir, you have done me a great favor, Huang Tiandao, and you have done me a great favor as well. If it weren't for you blocking the Xiantian Water God that day, I wouldn't have had the chance to be crowned as the Yangtze River Water God. But today I have to come because this matter concerns Huang Tiandao's grand plan."

Gu Mingyue's attitude was very polite, and her voice was full of humility: "As long as the dean hands over Zhang Chen, I, Huang Tiandao, will never dare to offend the laws of the Great Victory Emperor, let alone become an enemy of Chongzheng Academy."

"Do you know my name?" Zhou Qiucheng did not answer the other party, but asked.

"Impartial and impartial." said Gu Mingyue.

"Since you know my name, you shouldn't come here." Zhou Qiucheng said.

Gu Mingyue frowned upon hearing this, with a helpless look on her face: "Sir, can you give me some face?"

"You don't have that much face! I don't even give face to the Innate Water God, let alone you?" Zhou Qiucheng was firm in his attitude.

Hearing Zhou Qiucheng's words, Gu Mingyue's face suddenly turned gloomy, and a murderous look flashed in his eyes. Ever since he became the water god of the Yangtze River, few people in the land of Jiangnan did not give him face.

“After all, the Xiantian Water God is a rootless duckweed, so it’s understandable that you don’t give him face. As for me, it’s okay that you look down on me, after all, the reason why I was successfully conferred the title of Water God is thanks to you. But Huang Tiandao is standing behind me, are you really sure you won’t give me, Huang Tiandao, face?” Gu Mingyue used the Great Sage Master and the entire Huang Tiandao to oppress Zhou Qiucheng.

There is a difference between the twelfth level and the twelfth level. A twelfth level like myself is not good enough in front of the Great Sage Master.

"Even if the king of heaven comes, the result will be the same. No one can get face from me." Zhou Qiucheng said coldly: "If Huang Tiandao doesn't want to fight to the death with my Chongzheng Academy, you'd better go back quickly."

"It's a pity. I don't want to conflict with you, sir, but I can't resist the orders of the great sage master." Gu Mingyue sighed softly.

"You want me to take action?" Zhou Qiucheng's expression gradually turned cold.

"Zhao Lie, how about you and I learn from Dean Zhou's skills together?" Gu Mingyue ignored Zhou Qiucheng's words and looked into the void.

He left the Yangtze River and was only at the eleventh level in the Jiangnan region, so he could not gain an advantage against Zhou Qiucheng. However, if he added Zhao Lie, the star of the Broken Army, he could fight Zhou Qiucheng.

A ray of starlight flickered in the clouds, and Zhao Lie was seen with thick starlight flowing around him, descending from the black clouds into the field.

"Okay, okay, today you will let me learn some of Huang Tiandao's powerful skills. But before you two take action, you must consider the consequences. Once you lose, all the followers of Huang Tiandao in Jinling City must get out!" Zhou Qiucheng's eyes showed murderous intent.
