Fantasy: The Clan Chief Lies Down, His House Is Full of Emperors

Chapter 51 The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows behind

Having dealt with the disciples of the Taixu Sect, Xu Muge had no time to breathe a sigh of relief. His gaze turned solemnly to the empty west.

"After watching for so long, shouldn't it be time to come out?"

There wasn't a single person there, not even a tree or a blade of grass.

But after Xu Muge finished speaking, a ripple appeared in the void, and three people suddenly appeared.

The young man at the head of the group held a folding fan in his hand, looking like a refined gentleman.

"As expected of the disciple known as the most monstrous talent in the Lingyue Sect in ten thousand years, he is indeed amazing."

Although Xu Muge broke the formation with the help of the treasures given by the Supreme Elders, he instantly killed eleven disciples of the Taixu Sect and depleted Huo Jiannan's protective magic treasure.

However, it is true that he killed two Taixu Sect disciples with one palm and defeated Huo Jiannan in two moves.

Most importantly, none of the many people in the Taixu Sect noticed their presence, but Xu Muge did.

Xu Muge asked, "Who are you?"

The only ones who would dare to cause him trouble are the Taixu Sect and the royal family, but he only remembers two or three members of the royal family and has no impression of this person.

The man replied, "My name is Chu Zhengyan, the third prince's cousin."

Xu Muge raised an eyebrow. His understanding of the royal family was limited. He only knew that although the position of crown prince had been established, there were still two princes eyeing the throne.

One is the Third Prince, whose maternal family has a strong background; the other is the Ninth Prince, who is exceptionally talented.

"You've been hiding for so long, you couldn't have just been watching the show, could you?"

Chu Zhengyan smiled.

"Of course not. In order to enter this secret realm, I owe the Third Prince a small favor, and I have to do something for him in return."

"What is it?" Xu Muge asked.

Chu Zhengyan replied briefly, "He wants to win you over; you can name your terms."

The Third Prince needs help to compete for the position of Crown Prince, and Xu Muge's talent is strong enough.

Winning him over would serve two purposes: first, it would provide me with a highly capable henchman; second, it would eliminate the potential threat posed by the growing power of the Lingyue Sect under Xu Muge's leadership.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

“What if I disagree?” Xu Muge replied with interest.

Chu Zhengyan's expression remained unchanged.

"All he ever said to me was, 'Win me over. If you agree, we'll cooperate; if you disagree, I'll kill you.' Now that you disagree, you're going to die."

The Third Prince and the Ninth Prince had the same goal in killing Xu Muge: to use Xu Muge as a performance indicator to impress Emperor Qi.

Father, look, the Lingyue Sect has produced such a prodigy, and I've already dealt with him. Could you please consider me?

Xu Muge asked疑惑地问道, "And what's your trump card?"

I had already shown enough strength, yet he was so confident; he must have something to rely on.

"Snapped!"

Chu Zhengyan closed his folding fan and slapped the ground with his right hand.

"boom!!"

A huge gray light shield rose up around him, enclosing Xu Muge within it.

Chu Zhengyan stood with his hands behind his back, speaking eloquently.

"The higher-ups of the Lingyue Sect must have given you quite a few treasures, but my formation is a little different. It can lock the void, making all the storage magic treasures in this space unopenable."

"Without those things, do you still have the confidence to beat us?"

Xu Muge was slightly taken aback.

"They came prepared, as expected."

He hadn't really considered this; all his valuable items were stored in his storage bracelet.

Chu Zhengyan said loudly, "I'm asking you one last time, do you agree or not?"

Xu Muge shook his head.

"Alright! Then you can die!"

After Chu Zhengyan finished speaking, he and the two people beside him charged towards Xu Muge.

In an instant, all sorts of powerful moves emerged one after another, with constant booming sounds, the earth trembled, and the ground was blasted into trenches dozens of feet deep.

Sensing the approach, some distant monsters retreated and fled.

Xu Muge fought three opponents single-handedly and was evenly matched with them.

This greatly surprised Chu Zhengyan.

"Your talent is indeed high. I am an innate spiritual body, and the other two are pseudo-core cultivators. You were able to fight us to a draw."

Once a cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm forms an inner core in their dantian, they will break through to the Profound Core Realm, experiencing a rapid increase in strength and a qualitative improvement in all aspects.

If a cultivator in the Profound Core Realm loses their inner core, their strength will be greatly reduced, but they will still be much stronger than a cultivator in the Spirit Gathering Realm.

It is a secret known only to the Great Qi royal family that pseudo-core cultivators can enter the Azure Dragon Secret Realm.

Chu Zhengyan was confident because he had two fake Core Formation cultivators with him.

He just didn't expect that Xu Muge's strength exceeded his understanding. He was clearly a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, but he was comparable to a Profound Core Realm cultivator.

Not only is he highly skilled in magic, but he is also adept at various martial arts techniques and movements, and has extremely rich experience in combat.

How could such a monster exist?!

Xu Muge chuckled.

"If Huo Jiannan and the others hadn't used up some of my true energy, you wouldn't have been qualified to fight me to a draw."

Chu Zhengyan was speechless for a moment, and his face turned somewhat ugly.

He had always been praised by those around him for his talent since he was a child, but he never expected to be completely defeated by a peer today, which made him extremely upset.

The most difficult thing is that he's now in a bit of a dilemma.

They couldn't beat Xu Muge in a fight, and leaving would be too humiliating.

Just when he was at his wit's end, someone else came from afar. He was alone, or rather, he was accompanied by a horned lion.

They strolled over leisurely, as if they were tourists.

As the man and beast approached, Chu Zhengyan recognized him; the man was Xu Luo, who had made a name for himself in the selection competition.

This was also the only person who had previously made Chu Zhengyan feel threatened.

But at this moment, Xu Luo was like a ray of hope shining into Chu Zhengyan's world.

He hurriedly shouted, "Xu Luo, if you help me deal with him, I can give you 100,000 spirit stones!"

Xu Luo looked at Xu Muge.

What do you think of this kind of deal?

Xu Muge suppressed a laugh.

“I don’t think it’s a good thing. After all, we got rid of them, and all his things went to us two brothers.”

Xu Luo nodded. "That makes sense."

Brother...the two brothers?

Chu Zhengyan: "..."

He felt like a fool at that moment, asking for help only to find his opponent's brother.

Surprise, embarrassment, fear, and apprehension gradually appeared on Chu Zhengyan's face.

As Xu Luo continued to approach step by step, Chu Zhengyan began to panic. He couldn't even handle Xu Muge, let alone Xu Luo. He had absolutely no chance of winning.

"You can't run away, do you expect me to beg for mercy?"

It now appears that this formation, which locks down the void, has also blocked its own escape route.

Chu Zhengyan was still struggling internally. As the son of a prince, he held a noble position in both the Great Chu and the Great Qi, yet he was begging for mercy from two people his own age. This was something he could not accept.

While he hesitated, Xu Luo had already made his move; the two pseudo-core cultivators were no match for him.

Now only Chu Zhengyan was left, and he had to face two monstrous talents who could kill Xuan Dan realm cultivators all by himself. He panicked completely.

Chu Zhengyan quickly said, "I am the son of the Prince of Zhennan of the Great Chu Dynasty, the Third Prince of the Great Qi is my cousin, the Emperor of Chu is my uncle, and the Emperor of Qi is my uncle-in-law. If you spare me, I can give you everything you want."

Xu Muge and Xu Luo were stunned.

The Great Chu Dynasty and the Great Qi Dynasty were neighbors. The two countries were on good terms, and the Qi Emperor married the Chu Emperor's sister, with whom he had a third prince.

Chu Zhengyan's identity is indeed quite prestigious.
