When Chen Luoyang heard this, he glanced at Jiang Yi.
The elder of Ancient Gods Clan, “Sunset King” Zheng Chi, had once competed with Jiang Yi for the position of the Hierarch but failed.
Before the appearance of the ‘Deputy Sect Leader’ Chen Luoyang, this Elder Zheng could be said to be the second person of the Ancient Gods Clan to a certain extent.
His relationship with Jiang Yi was similar to the relationship between Yan Mingkong and Chen Luoyang back in the Divine Lands, or the relationship between the previous Xian Tian Palace Lord Shan Jing and Gantian Elder You
Hao.
However, compared to You Hao of Xian Tian Palace, Elder Zheng of Ancient Gods Clan was much more low-key.
After all, You Hao’s strength was not inferior to Shan Jing’s.
However, although Zheng Chi and Jiang Yi could be said to have a moment of brilliance, he was left behind by Jiang Yi.
In terms of cultivation realm, Zheng Chi, Shan Jing, You Hao, Xue Cangsheng, and the others were all at the peak of the Martial Saint’s eighteenth realm.
In the world of mortals, they were all famous.
However, compared to Mister Revelation, Patriarch Blood River, Jiang Yi, and the other giants of the mortal world, the difference in cultivation level was an objective existence.
However, the reappearance of ‘Nuwa’ had made up for this natural chasm to a certain extent.
Even if it wasn’t filled up, the ravine would eventually become shallow.
Besides, who knew if Zheng Chi had other preparations besides Nuwa?
He could try to contact Mister Tianji for help, but he could also contact others.
Of course, Chen Luoyang felt that Jiang Yi wasn’t as simple as he appeared to be. This person had more secrets than Zheng Chi and was even more well-hidden.
Zheng Chi had fought with Jiang Yi for more than a hundred years and knew him quite well.
If it was possible, Zheng Chi naturally hoped to have more time to make more stable preparations.
However, when the news that Mister Tianji had fallen at the hands of Jiang Yi came back from South Chu, Zheng Chi would definitely be alerted.
He wasn’t sure what Mister Tianji and Jiang Yi were talking about.
However, his secret contact with Mister Tianji and the existence of ” Nuwa ‘ were at risk of being exposed.
Zheng Chi would definitely feel uneasy.
Now, it seemed that he might have revealed more flaws and had already been discovered by Jiang Yi.
It was just that Chen Luoyang had not expected that Jiang Yi would hand over Lneng cnrs matter to mm.
Of course, he was the Deputy Patriarch in name.
If the sect leader didn’t show up, it would naturally be him, the vice sect leader, who would handle the sect’s affairs.
For example, purge, or even quell rebellions.
From another point of view, the traitor that a sect leader needed to be wary of the most was the vice sect leader…
Although Chen Luoyang had many thoughts in his mind, he didn’t show any hesitation on his face. As soon as Jiang Yi finished speaking, he nodded calmly.”Alright.”
He collected his chaotic thoughts.
Regardless of whether Jiang Yi had the good intention of helping him cultivate his prestige or the evil intention of killing him with a borrowed knife, it did not make much of a difference to him.
‘ Senior Brother Zheng is highly respected in the sect. His influence is extraordinary. It won’t be easy to resolve this matter peacefully. ” Jiang Yi smiled and said, ” I’ll return to the headquarters to take charge of things. I’ll have to trouble Luoyang to run around outside. You can use the people in the sect at will. ‘
The key point was that it was stable and did not lead to large-scale civil strife.
The Ancient Gods Clan had many enemies outside the sect.
Although the West Qin Empire, Xian Tian Palace and the western paradise were all overwhelmed, there were still others eyeing them covetously.
Chen Luoyang and Jiang Yi were waiting to see the Chu Emperor and Cheng Yingtian make a fool of themselves in South Chu, but they also had to be careful that others would take advantage of them.
This involved whether Jiang Yi himself would suddenly launch an attack and suppress it with the force of thunder and Mount Tai. This way, it was more likely to solve the problem in a short period of time.
However, why was he not showing himself now?
He had indeed obtained the treasure he wanted from Blood River Patriarch, and he was busy refining and recuperating.
Was it because he had suffered internal injuries during the battle with Blood River Patriarch, but he could not show them?
Or was it because of other reasons?
Many thoughts flashed through Chen Luoyang’s mind.
“Alright.” He acted as if nothing had happened and simply nodded.”What’s the exact situation now?”
Jiang Yi smiled and handed over a jade slip.
After reading the contents of the jade scroll, Chen Luoyang nodded to himself.
Jiang Yi had a very strong grasp of the Red Dust Ancient Gods Clan.
Even if he was not in the headquarters, with Zheng Chi’s ability, he could not cause much trouble. After a series of undercurrents, the final result was that Elder Zheng and a few of his subordinates fled. Their whereabouts were currently unknown.
Jiang Yi had previously said that he would be overseeing the headquarters while Chen Luoyang was running around outside. This was to investigate Zheng Chi’s whereabouts and find a way to eliminate him.
This also included being wary of Zheng Chi having any connections with enemies outside the sect.
“Give me a name list.” Chen Luoyang looked at Jiang Yi.
The other party had already said that he could do whatever he wanted with the people in the cult. This list was not about wanting people, but about eliminating Zheng Chi’s group. It was about controlling the area and whether there was anyone who needed to be specially spared.
What Chen Luoyang was particularly concerned about was that the current Azure Dragon Hall’s Chief Lian Buyi didn’t seem to be affected by Zheng Chi. He was steadily carrying out his duties and work in his position.
Jiang Yi didn’t touch her, and she didn’t follow Zheng Chi.
As far as Chen Luoyang knew, Lian Buyi was Zheng Chi’s successor.
Before Lin Yan was personally killed by Chen Luoyang, the Vermillion Bird Palace Hall’s Chief seat was the only vacant seat.
Whether Lian Buyi could fill this position was still a controversial topic in the sect.
After hearing Chen Luoyang’s question, Jiang Yi smiled and nodded. ‘”‘Naturally.”
He wrote in the air, and the dark golden light condensed into words that floated in the air.
It was one name after another.
Chen Luoyang soon saw the words ‘Practicing Step One’.
Then, Jiang Yi sealed the dark golden characters into a jade slip and handed it to Chen Luoyang.”These people can be trusted.” “Alright.” Chen Luoyang nodded thoughtfully.
The two of them didn’t hide anything as they spoke.
Xie Buxiu, who was listening at the side, gasped.
Elder Zheng had been keeping a low profile all these years. To outsiders, he seemed to have completely submitted to Jiang Yi.
However, some of the more knowledgeable people in the sect could vaguely feel the undercurrents surging.
However, Xie Buxiu had never expected that the problem would suddenly erupt without any warning.
Normally, Little Xie would have stayed far away from the whirlpool of questions.
A Level 15 Martial Emperor at the peak of Martial Emperor Realm had a significant influence in the Ancient Gods Clan, a sacred land of the Devil Dao.
However, Xie Buxiu’s past actions might cause both the rebellion and the rebellion to exclude him.
But now, it was probably impossible.
Student Xie was very perceptive.
Jiang Yi and Chen Luoyang didn’t avoid anyone when they were conversing. Jiang Yi listened to them clearly from the side. He definitely had a part to play in this matter, so he just had to obediently listen to Deputy Sect Leader Chen’s instructions.
Even if Chen Luoyang didn’t instruct him to do anything, it was impossible for him to withdraw.
After going back and forth a few times, he had already been labeled as a trusted aide of a certain vice sect master.
Since Chen Luoyang had accepted this task, Xie Buxiu would naturally be brought along as well.
Even if he did not do anything, others would not believe him. They would only think that he had a secret plan.
Student Xie Buxiu also slowly became calm, he was at ease, quietly waiting for the orders of a certain vice sect leader.
In short, if there was an order, we would do our best to complete it. It was useless to think too much about other things.
It was good that he accepted his fate.
A certain someone sighed in his heart.
Chen Luoyang looked at Ying Qingqing and said, “”Return to the Heavenly
Abode, or visit our sect?”
Ying Qingqing looked at Jiang Yi and Xie Buxiu before replying to Chen Luoyang, “”Your sect seems to be busy at the moment. I’m sorry to disturb you.
Let’s return the way we came.”
“Alright.” Chen Luoyang nodded and looked at Jiang Yi. “”Senior and Buxiu, please return to the headquarters first. I will return later.”
“No problem.” Jiang Yi smiled.
The four of them parted ways.
Jiang Yi returned to the Red Dust Ancient Gods Clan’s headquarters with endless thanks.
As for Chen Luoyang, he brought Ying Qingqing back to the dark grotto-heaven.
After leaving Ying Qingqing behind, Chen Luoyang went to see the Demon Venerable’s remains.
It was as if he was facing himself. After standing there quietly for a moment, Chen Luoyang slowly exhaled.
Would anyone be unable to hold back and barge in or sneak in?
He exhaled, then inhaled lightly.
Finally, he turned around and walked out of the hall where the Demon Venerable’s remains were. He left the Dark Grotto-heaven and headed to the Red Dust Ancient Gods Clan’s headquarters.
The entrance to the Paradise twisted and swayed behind him. The door that looked like a black hole disappeared in the air.
After Chen Luoyang returned to the headquarters, he began to carry out his tasks.
More detailed and large amounts of information gathered on his desk, allowing him to read and use them at will.
Not only in the Ancient Gods Clan, but also outside the sect.
Among them, the South Chu Empire’s movements were slightly out of his expectations.
“The Chu Emperor didn’t touch Cheng Ying Tian?” Chen Luoyang raised his eyebrows slightly.
Jiang Yi, who was sitting across from him, said, ” I was surprised too. At first, I thought that it was our side that caused Cheng Hui to delay his actions and wanted to take advantage of our sect. But so far, we haven’t found any movement in this direction. South Chu is very quiet. ‘
.”Chen Luoyang tapped his fingers on the table. ‘”‘Something happened to the
Chu Emperor himself? Back then, when we surrounded and killed Mister
Tianji, was he still injured?”
“Azure Dragon Hall is already trying to investigate.” “While we’re on guard, let’s take care of our own side first,” said Jiang Yi with a smile.
‘ Alright. ” Chen Luoyang nodded slowly. ” In that case, I’ll set off. ‘
The Chu Emperor, Cheng Hui, was not injured.
He was in deep seclusion.
However, few people in South Chu knew about this news. At least, it would be difficult for others to find out about it in a short period of time.
The Chu Emperor didn’t wait for the battle between the Heavenly River and the Blood River to end before he went into seclusion.
It was as if he didn’t care about the outside world and was completely focused on himself.
At this moment, in the Chu Emperor’s secluded meditation grounds, he took off his dragon robe and changed into a set of light clothes. He sat cross-legged quietly with his eyes closed.
In front of him was a white jade cup. On it was an existence that looked like a human heart. It emitted a faint demonic blood aura.
Apart from that, there was a ball of light floating above the Chu Emperor’s head.
In the light, it was clearly a fragmented page of a book.
After a long time, the Chu Emperor opened his eyes and silently examined the two supreme treasures in front of him..
