Return of the Ancient Gods

After a struggle, King Kang was finally defeated. He fell on the armchair in despair, his eyes were lifeless, and he kept muttering:

"Why, why did I lose to that little wolf cub? I'm obviously much stronger, and I'm obviously the orthodox one, but no one supports me..."

Because of the failure in the competition for elixirs, Prince Kang's palace became more desolate than ever before. Only the young man in the cloak stood by Prince Kang all the time:

"Your Majesty, the time is only halfway through. There may be a chance of turning defeat into victory. You must be strong..."

"You don't need to persuade me! Even when I was in my prime, I couldn't crush that little wolf cub to death. Now the situation is reversed. Tell me, how can I beat him?" King Kang roared in frustration.

"Your Highness, I have a way that can help you turn the tide..." The cloaked young man was silent for a moment, then leaned close to King Kang's ear to offer advice.

After hearing what the cloaked young man said, King Kang shuddered and immediately became alert. He drew his sword and put it on his neck, questioning:

"You want me to cooperate with Beiyan. You are asking me to betray my country! Who are you and what are your intentions?"

Although King Kang and Chu Nan were at odds and they were confronting each other openly and covertly, he was only targeting the lineage of the Chu Emperor. But it was impossible for him to betray the Chu Dynasty and abandon his ancestors, something that would touch the bottom line!

"Your Highness, you are overthinking. I just want to help you. Besides, Beiyan is just lending us money. We have to pay it back with interest. It's not free..."

The young man in the cloak tried to persuade the king, observing his words and expressions. Noticing that King Kang's murderous intent was gradually weakening, he slowly felt relieved, with an indescribable smile on his lips.

"Okay, I agree, you go make the contact." King Kang was finally persuaded, and waved his hand to signal the cloaked young man to do it. He looked into the distance, his eyes full of malice, and muttered:

"You forced me to do all this. I'm just taking back what originally belonged to me!"

……

After getting through the most difficult time, the tension finally eased. Everyone took turns on duty. Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, Xue'er and Xia Chan received bad news:

"Something bad has happened, sir. According to the latest intelligence, Prince Kang's Palace has purchased Xuanshuang leaves and purple spirit grass on an unusually large scale. The entire market will experience a shock tomorrow morning..."

"Isn't Prince Kang's Mansion already penniless? How come they still have so much financial resources to do this?" Xia Chan wanted to help Chu Nan change his clothes, but he didn't move for a long time.

"Young Master, I'm sorry. It must be Qiulu's miscalculation of the data of Prince Kang's Mansion that led to the current situation!" Qiulu, who was under Chu Nan, said timidly, taking the initiative to reflect on herself, and patted him lightly with one hand to try to wake him up.

At this time, Chu Nan had not fully woken up yet. He was breathing rapidly and sucking something with his mouth.

He was really exhausted during this period of time. He finally had some time to spend with the beauty, but he didn't expect it to be interrupted like this.

"You should have more confidence in yourself in everything!" Chu Nan comforted her softly, slowly opened his eyes, teased the shy woman, and kept stroking the strange rune on her forehead.

"It's not that you miscalculated, but a big fish has been hooked."

After cleaning up, Chu Nan called everyone together to discuss the latest intelligence:

"Uncle He Zhi, you really have foresight and have kept a trick up your sleeve. Since Prince Kang and his men have crossed the line, you can't blame us for being so ruthless!"

"I just don't know what their true relationship is. Since they are still determined to steal, let's beat them up and make them spit out what they took from us!" Chen Hezhi swept away his usual kindness and became a bit ferocious.

"We won't know the specific situation until the morning, but the other party is definitely well prepared. Can we deal with it with our current strength?" The head of the Wen family expressed his concern, but he didn't know what to say. The heartstrings that had finally relaxed became tense again and he felt a little uncomfortable.

Chu Nan directly took out the small exquisite world, which was filled with endless black frost leaf purple spirit grass. Some of them were native to this place, and some were planted recently and happened to be used now:

"It's not possible to cultivate higher-level spiritual herbs here for now, but it's more than enough to grow Black Frost Leaves and Purple Spirit Grass. Tomorrow I'll arrange for a group of trustworthy people to come pick them, and sell the excess in the market. I'll use the same trick again, haha!"

"..."

With this trump card, everyone's hearts were completely settled, waiting to see the joke of Prince Kang's Mansion:

"The quantity of Black Frost Leaves is much larger than that of Purple Spirit Grass, and based on the current sales volume, our raw materials will be enough for three months. I want to see how big their appetite is and how much they are willing to invest!"

……

The news that the Kangwang Mansion had purchased a large number of black frost leaves spread like wildfire. The spiritual plants that were not usually used in large quantities were also hyped up. The meaning was self-evident, but the effect was minimal:

There are too many Xuanshuang leaves in the market, so the Kangwang Mansion cannot raise the price. Moreover, as soon as the supply in the market becomes tight, someone immediately releases a large amount of stock to stabilize the price.

"King Kang doesn't have our recipe. The Xuanshuang leaves can only be made into a very low-profit cooling pill. It can be said that this batch of goods has completely rotted in his hands!"

Looking north,

Northern Yan Crown Prince Ye Renjie looked northward. Although he had been in seclusion for many days, he was well-informed and had a face full of resentment:

"My stupid brother, you are so blind that you have ruined the future of Beiyan. Beiyan still needs me to take charge of the overall situation!"

Somewhere in the capital, a young man in a black cloak met with someone privately.

"Didn't you say that this time you could help us plunder and weaken Nan Chu's strength? What's the situation now?

Do you know how much we lost this time? Several years of fiscal revenue were lost! ! "The middle-aged man dressed as a waiter questioned, and although he tried his best to lower his voice, the anger in his words was indeed clear.

"Ah, King Kang, that useless waste. I didn't expect that he would be defeated so miserably..." The cloaked young man sighed helplessly and didn't care about the other party's anger.

"That's enough. I don't have time to listen to your excuses and bickering. I just want to know how you're going to make up for our losses and fulfill your original promise. If I didn't know about your grudge with that dog emperor, I would have thought that you teamed up with King Kang to harm us."

"At this point, nothing can be faster than robbery. Everything is ready, and the plan can begin!" The cloaked young man's cheeks twitched, and he suppressed his anger and gave orders.

"Boy, you are so arrogant! You have caused us Beiyan to suffer such a great loss, and now you dare to speak to me in this tone and give me orders?" The middle-aged man was immediately unhappy and said in a sarcastic tone:

"Have you forgotten what our methods are?"

The man wanted to teach this arrogant guy a lesson, but the cloaked young man subdued him with just one finger, ready to crush him to death at any time.

“How could it be possible? Although my talent is not as good as that of the young genius, I have also been immersed in the Tianxuan Realm for many years. How could I be so easily controlled by this kid?”

"It is true that I have cooperated with you, but even your Second Prince has to be polite to me, what the hell are you, a dog slave?

I advise you to get things done for me, otherwise, not to mention me, even Beiyan will not let you off easily! You know your methods better than me, and I will return this to you without changing anything!"

……

There is still more than a month left until the deadline, but judging from the current situation, Chu Nan has already won, so he can take some time to practice.

In addition to being in the limelight, Chu Nan opened up the fifth secret treasure, but was unable to break through the Tianxuan realm and encountered some minor troubles.
