Return of the Ancient Gods

Luofengpo outside Xuancheng,

For this great battle, Chu Xiu specially built a square arena that was dozens of feet long. The arena was paved with fine iron and engraved with profound runes. Even a full-strength attack from a peak Tianxuan realm powerhouse could not shake it in the slightest.

Everything is ready.

The guests of this duel are also luxurious:

Not only were there people from Heaven hiding behind the void and ready for battle, but the three people from the Fox Sect who had previously fought with Chu Nan in Xuancheng were also present, and there were countless others.

Chu Xiu and the 20 Northern Yan troops lined up early to meet them.

Then Chu Nan and Xue'er came slowly towards them on white horses, holding a jar of fine wine in their hands.

His eyes swept over Chu Xiu and the solemn and mighty Northern Yan army, and finally fell on King Kang, who looked not too miserable beside Chu Xiu. Chu Nan dismounted and walked onto the stage alone, and the two sides confronted each other from the north and the south.

"The Crown Prince is indeed worthy of being the son of the Demon-Suppressing King. He is so courageous that he dares to come alone to fight against our 20-strong army. I really admire him!" Northern Yan commander Liu Zhun spoke first.

"Of course. I am enough!" Chu Nan sneered and said nothing more. He turned his gaze to King Kang beside him and shouted:

"Things in life are unpredictable. I never thought that the prince of Nanchu would one day become a prisoner of another country.

Uncle King Kang, are you okay? Your nephew risked his life to save you. Are you touched?

You don't need to give me any gifts this time, just say thank you in person!"

Completely ignoring Chu Xiu and the Northern Yan army, Chu Nan joked and played with Kang as usual, looking cheerful and seemingly forgetting what the situation was.

"..."

It didn't matter that he was framed by Chu Xiu and fell into the hands of Beiyan. The most important thing was that he was branded as a treason. King Kang thought of many situations when he met the Emperor of Chu, Chu Nan and others, and his face looked strange.

But now that Chu Nan said this, all the guilt and grievances were put away, and King Kang muttered stubbornly;

"This king does not need a little wolf like you to save me..."

"But without me, Uncle Kang, can you save yourself?" Chu Nan laughed and retorted, sitting cross-legged on the ground without any hurry, opening the wine jar and taking a sip.

"Could it be that you, Uncle Kang, are addicted to being a prisoner? If so, when I return, I will report to the Emperor of Chu to treat you well and give you a luxury package. Isn't your own cell more comfortable than other cells?"

King Kang was speechless and choked up for a long time. He finally squeezed out a few words from between his teeth and said:

"Chen Ping'an should have told the king about my treason. Can you and the King of Chu still tolerate me?"

"Then Uncle Kang, have you really betrayed your country? Traitors and surrenders should be treated with courtesy, but Uncle Kang, you don't look like that at all."

Chu Nan looked towards Chu Xiu with a slightly amused look, and then said earnestly:

"When my grandfather accepted the throne, he established the ancestral precepts to treat the Chai family well. Those who violate the precepts will be punished by heaven and earth. The King of Chu and I are both the kind of people who are afraid of death, so we naturally dare not disobey."

King Kang understood what Chu Nan meant. They wanted to put the blame of treason entirely on Chu Xiu alone. He was just being coerced by them. But as a condition, he would lose the throne and power forever.

"I will never tell you that the future will be the same as the past. It's not because of this incident, but because you have already lost everything, the army, the family property - now the three-month deadline has come, you have completely lost to me.

But don't worry, Uncle Kang, the King of Chu and I will make sure you live a life of wealth and prosperity." Chu Nan teased, taking another sip, his cheeks flushed.

"After you go back, have a good talk with your son's family, and spend the rest of your life peacefully as a romantic prince."

King Kang was originally resentful of Chu Nan for saving him and absolving him of treason. He asked unwillingly:

"After I learned about this, our family has no chance of becoming emperor. No matter how much we struggle, it will be useless. But I am unwilling to give up. You want me to be a romantic prince and fade out of the center of power. Why didn't you do the same in the first place?"

"Uncle Kang, you are wrong. I would rather be a romantic prince than an emperor." Chu Nan corrected him. Although he was young and naive, he was clear about some things.

"But the premise is that the person sitting on the throne is not you. Otherwise, with your character, you will definitely kill us all. How can you hug the beauty if you don't even have your life left?"

King Kang remained silent, his expression gloomy but gradually calmed down.

"There is nothing to hide now. The truth about me being deposed three years ago was not caused by your people, but by myself.

At that time, you seized the opportunity and sent people from the Mingshe Organization to ambush and kill me. There were countless strong men. Indeed, if it weren't for someone who risked his life to save me, I might have really died on the spot.

Although I was saved in the end, I also lost my most cherished friend. I was disheartened, so I followed your wishes and destroyed my Xuanmai and Dantian..." Chu Nan added,

"So you must have secretly hated your men for being too lenient, and thought about how they risked their lives to get such a result, right?

It is certainly a relief to lose a genius, but you are doomed to failure from that moment on."

King Kang suddenly realized that he had finally settled this confusing account and understood the gains and losses.

When Chu Nan said this, the soldiers on the Beiyan side couldn't help but gasp. Even the existence hidden in the void was moved by his words.

"Uncle Kang, you can continue to make trouble, but the matter of treason will be brought up again and become a stain that you will never be able to erase in your lifetime." Chu Nan continued to fan the flames and provoke King Kang.

“Even if we go down to the underground, you are the only one who has no Yan Zu. You have nothing to do with us.”

As expected, after hearing Chu Nan's words, King Kang could no longer tolerate it and uttered:

"You little wolf, you are slandering me. I was coerced by others, but I have never committed treason. Why can't I see my ancestors?"

Although King Kang hated his uncle and hated his foolishness in the past, he also respected heroes like his uncle in his heart. He respected him for pacifying the world. People live by their dignity, but now he is being insulted by Chu Nan like this. Why?

"It's done. It's really tiring!" Finally hearing King Kang say what he wanted to hear, Chu Nan let out a long breath, took out a communication crystal from his arms, stretched his waist, and talked to Chu Xiu:

"King Kang is useless in your hands. Shouldn't you let him go?"

The soldiers of Northern Yan looked at each other in hesitation, but Chu Xiu made up his mind and kicked King Kang in the butt, kicking him back.

"You're pretty ruthless." Chu Nan said to King Kang after catching him.

"Next time, be more careful when you look at people, and be nicer to your subordinates!"

King Kang wanted to say something, but Chu Nan inserted the communication crystal into his thigh without saying a word.

"Ah-ah, you little wolf cub, I'm not done with you!" King Kang roared, but before he could even put up a fight, Chu Nan kicked him hard and sent him flying back to the capital.
