It's not that Chen Yuan was unrighteous, but that he genuinely needed someone to share the pressure from the Yun family.

Moreover, Shangguan Yu was originally the cause of this. Others didn't know he had I Have a Destiny Altar, and would only think it was because of Shangguan Yu that the two of them were hostile to each other.

Of course, that doesn't mean all the pressure was on him.

Just a small part...

The real pressure was mainly on him, after all, he was the one who was going to make a move against Yun Han.

As for the rule that Dan Realm Grandmasters couldn't interfere in disputes between those of the same realm, it simply didn't apply to a scion of a prestigious family like Yun Han.

"Alright, we'll do as Madam says."

Chen Yuan nodded and said in a deep voice.

Yun Han's gaze turned slightly cold, and he couldn't help but snort in his heart, thinking Chen Yuan was going too far. What, did he really think he could kill him?

Now he was stopping reluctantly.

He had to know that he was the most outstanding descendant of the Yun clan, cherished and cultivated by the family since he was young. He rarely ventured into the martial world, all for the sake of making a name for himself in the Immortal Ascension War.

Perhaps he wasn't confident in dealing with the top three, but he was quite confident in dealing with the experts after the top five. For example, he had secretly defeated Shangguan Yu, who was ranked eighth on the Hidden Dragon List.

The two of them had become enemies because of this, disliking each other.

And what about Chen Yuan?

Although he had fought to a draw with Bai Changqing before, in his opinion, the two of them were only evenly matched, and it was uncertain who would win or lose.

This time, he was going to step on Chen Yuan and make a name for himself in Shu Prefecture!

Madam Xu nodded with a smile. Her senses were very keen. Although Chen Yuan hid it well, she still noticed a trace of extreme killing intent in his eyes.

Although she didn't know the reason, it was good that she could sense Chen Yuan's killing intent.

As for who lived and who died between them, it was none of Hidden Weapons Valley's business.

Chen Yuan grabbed the headless corpse of the man named Dong Shi and threw it out of the hall. He sat down expressionlessly. The people around him leaned back a little, as if he had a plague.

Madam Xu waved her hand, and several Hidden Weapons Valley disciples immediately cleaned up the scene.

Chen Yuan and Yun Han hadn't actually fought, which disappointed some of the people present. However, they didn't dare to add fuel to the fire at this time, so they turned their attention to Madam Xu.

Ouyang Zhi stood respectfully beside Madam Xu, like a real mother and son.

"Madam."

Ouyang Tuo stood up and cupped his hands.

Although he was Ouyang Zhi's uncle and Ouyang Ke's elder brother, he still respected the main line in name. And Madam Xu, as Ouyang Ke's widow, was naturally the apparent master of Hidden Weapons Valley.

"Elder Brother."

Madam Xu gracefully returned the courtesy, then walked to the head of the hall, turned around, and looked at the nine Profound Realm experts sitting below. She said softly:

"Thank you all for coming to the Divine Weapon Assembly. This is a great honor for my Hidden Weapons Valley..."

After saying a few polite words, several Profound Realm experts looked at Madam Xu's graceful figure and laughed a few times:

"I didn't come for any Divine Weapon Assembly, but to see Madam's true face."

"That's right, Madam was once a famous fairy in the martial world, but now she hides her face, which is a great pity."

Hearing this, Ouyang Zhi's face suddenly darkened, and he glanced coldly at the few people who had spoken impolitely just now.

At the same time, Ouyang Tuo also frowned, his gaze gloomy. Not only did other people in the martial world want to pursue Madam Xu, but he also secretly wanted to obtain this woman.

It was just a pity that the other party had never given him any chance.

"My appearance is mediocre, and I don't deserve your praise," Madam Xu replied indifferently.

Han Yu then asked:

"Madam, I wonder what the Divine Weapon Assembly is all about? It's time to talk about it, isn't it?"

"That's right, there's no need to hide it now."

This was the thought of most people. The few people just now were just a minority.

Chen Yuan remained silent, listening quietly.

"I was just about to tell you all. There are three reasons why I'm holding this Divine Weapon Assembly. First, I want to push Zhi'er to the position of Valley Master. I hope you can all be friends with the new Valley Master in the future."

Hearing this, Ouyang Tuo frowned, his face displeased. He didn't know about this beforehand, and the woman had caught him off guard.

However, he couldn't refute it at this time, and just snorted softly.

Although this somewhat dissatisfied voice was soft, Ouyang Zhi, who was standing next to him, heard it, and a faint killing intent flashed in his eyes.

"Secondly, I want to rebuild the reputation of my Hidden Weapons Valley, and announce to the martial world of Shu Prefecture that after decades of dormancy, my Hidden Weapons Valley has once again possessed the ability to forge spirit weapons."

"Thirdly, I would like to ask you all to help me with a small matter..."

Madam Xu smiled and said in a calm tone.

"Hmm? What does Madam Xu want us to do?"

"That's right."

"It's not a big deal. Speaking of which, this matter is a problem left over from the beginning of the establishment of my Hidden Weapons Valley. Every sixty years, the Earth Core Fire Vein under my Hidden Weapons Valley will cause a turmoil.

A Dan Realm Grandmaster must be stationed to suppress this erupting Earth Core Fire Vein. However, my husband passed away early... and there is no Grandmaster in Hidden Weapons Valley now.

Fortunately, a few years ago, I spent a huge price to invite a Formation Grandmaster to set up a large formation in my Hidden Weapons Valley. Seven or eight Profound Realm experts can use the formation to exert power comparable to a Grandmaster, and suppress this shock..."

Madam Xu explained the matter to everyone in detail.

She said that without the help of this formation, the entire Hidden Weapons Valley would be destroyed.

"I wonder if this matter is dangerous?"

Han Yu was the first to speak. He had always been cautious in his actions. If it was dangerous, he would definitely not get involved.

"Yes, yes."

These words were exactly what they were thinking.

"Don't worry, everyone. With the formation set up by that Formation Grandmaster, as long as there are no mistakes, there will be no danger at all. You just need to withstand a little pressure."

Ouyang Zhi stepped forward and said at this moment.

The people below whispered to each other, discussing. Only Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes. For some reason, he always felt that Madam Xu and Ouyang Zhi weren't telling the truth.

Perhaps there was some other secret involved.

Looking at the people discussing, Madam Xu continued:

"Of course, we won't let you help for nothing. After the Earth Core Fire Vein is suppressed again, Hidden Weapons Valley is willing to give each of you two Yuan Crystals as a reward.

Also, the spirit weapons in Hidden Weapons Valley will be sold to you at a low price."

"Madam Xu hasn't mentioned the Divine Weapon Assembly yet."

At this time, someone suddenly asked.

"The Divine Weapon Assembly will be held in three days. At that time, Hidden Weapons Valley will take out three spirit weapons and give them to you for free. However, you will need to rely on your own abilities."

"Are there any conditions for this?"

Someone asked again.

Giving away three spirit weapons was a big deal. It had to be known that even the spirit weapon with the lowest spirituality was worth at least ten Yuan Crystals. If the spirituality was sufficient,

The value was even immeasurable.

"Madam Xu, please tell us your conditions."

There were now nine of them. Three spirit weapons meant that three people would be fighting for one, a very high probability. Therefore, the people present were a little excited.

However, in addition to being excited, they couldn't help but worry if the other party had any other conditions.

"Alright, then I'll be frank. These three spirit weapons will be given away, but my Hidden Weapons Valley wants a promise. There is no need to make a blood oath. We just hope that those who obtain the spirit weapons will lend a hand when Hidden Weapons Valley encounters danger in the future, within their capabilities.

In addition, you will also have to help my Hidden Weapons Valley suppress the formation this time..."

Madam Xu's words were extremely clever. Although she didn't ask them to make any oaths, so many people were watching. If they didn't lend a hand when Hidden Weapons Valley encountered danger in the future,

They wouldn't be able to gain a foothold in the martial world.

Of course, her condition wasn't actually high. After all, it wasn't mandatory, and she also said that they only needed to lend a hand within their capabilities.

After all, spirit weapons were indeed valuable.

"Alright, we'll do as Madam says."

"Okay..."

Everyone present agreed.

Chen Yuan didn't say anything out of place.

He would wait until the spirit weapons were revealed to see if they could satisfy him. If they did, it wouldn't be too late to talk about some conditions. If they didn't, he would have the people from Hidden Weapons Valley forge a spirit saber for him.

After chatting for a while in the council hall, Hidden Weapons Valley specially held a banquet for everyone present to celebrate their arrival.

Chen Yuan and Yun Han were at separate tables. Madam Xu also knew that they didn't get along with each other. If they were arranged at the same table, someone would inevitably flip the table directly.

Han Yu sat next to Chen Yuan and chatted with him for a few words.

Perhaps because of what happened before, Han Yu was quite close to Chen Yuan, and didn't have the kind of avoidant thoughts that others had.

Chen Yuan didn't mention the idea of subduing this person. It was too early to say these things now. He planned to wait until the other party was about to leave before saying it. If they agreed, everyone would be happy.

If they were used to being free and easy, he wouldn't stop them.

Madam Xu didn't attend the banquet. After speaking, she left alone, accompanied by Ouyang Zhi and Ouyang Tuo. Among them, Ouyang Zhi sat at the same table as Chen Yuan,

While Ouyang Tuo took the initiative to fawn over Yun Han, seemingly wanting to build a good relationship with him.

After three rounds of wine and five courses of dishes, the three of Chen Yuan addressed each other as brothers, as if they were long-lost friends.

This banquet didn't end until midnight.

After Chen Yuan and Han Yu were sent back to their respective residences, Ouyang Zhi, who was originally a little tipsy, also used his true essence to dissolve the alcohol. Most of the wine they drank was ordinary wine, so dissolving the alcohol was nothing.

Chen Yuan and Han Yu did the same.

Hidden Weapons Valley, a rather elegant small courtyard, was still brightly lit.

Ouyang Zhi slowly came to the door and gently knocked.

"Enter."

It was a woman's voice, and the woman was none other than Ouyang Zhi's mother, Madam Xu.

Ouyang Zhi bowed and entered, bowing to the woman in the black dress in front of him, and said:

"Son greets Mother."

"Why are you here so late?"

Madam Xu looked at him calmly.

"Mother, today you made it clear that you want to make me the Valley Master. I'm afraid that old ghost Ouyang Tuo won't be able to hold back."

Ouyang Zhi's expression was solemn.

"What do you think?"

"Son's strength is low, and I'm not a match for that old ghost yet. Mother has put all your energy into me over the years, and there is still a big gap between you and that old ghost.

Why don't we take this opportunity to use the methods of those Upper House experts to directly eliminate this person!"

Ouyang Zhi waved his hand and said coldly.

"You've finally grown up these years. But who is the candidate? That old ghost Ouyang Tuo's strength is very extraordinary. Over the years, his Iron Refining Hand has reached the pinnacle, and he can be called the number one expert in my Xiping Prefecture."

Madam Xu's expression didn't change, as if she wanted Ouyang Zhi to make the decision.

She couldn't take care of him forever. He had to grow up eventually, and now was a good opportunity to grow up.

"In Son's opinion, the only one who has the strength to kill this old ghost is Demon Saber Chen Yuan. Judging from the methods this person displayed during the day, the odds are very high."

A large part of the reason why Ouyang Zhi got closer to Chen Yuan was because of this.

"What I thought was exactly the same. Chen Yuan is fierce and ruthless. He is indeed a good knife, but he cannot be easily disposed of. Looking at his actions, he seems reckless, but he is actually cunning."

Madam Xu's tone was slightly沉.

"Then what should we do?"

"It doesn't matter. I will go and persuade him. It's nothing more than offering him benefits. This person lacks a good knife, so we will give him a good knife. This person lacks Yuan Crystals, so we will give him Yuan Crystals. As long as he can eliminate the old thief Ouyang Tuo for me and my son."

"Mother is right. Now is the time for my Hidden Weapons Valley's centuries-old plan, and we must not let an Ouyang Tuo disrupt it!" Ouyang Zhi clenched his fists.

"Hidden Weapons Valley doesn't need this person anymore." Madam Xu's eyes turned cold.

When the previous Valley Master, Ouyang Ke, had just fallen, the Ouyang main line had to rely on this person's Profound Realm cultivation to temporarily support it. But now that Ouyang Zhi had made it to the Hidden Dragon List, this person could no longer be kept.

Otherwise, the Hidden Weapons Valley might really change hands.

"Son, on behalf of the ancestors of the Ouyang clan, thanks Mother." Ouyang Zhi knelt down directly.

Over the years, Madam Xu had raised him, treated him as her own son, and planned everything for him. In his heart, Madam Xu was not his biological mother, but she was better than his biological mother.

"Go back and rest. After the Divine Weapon Assembly, everything will change. Zhi'er, you must remember that Hidden Weapons Valley has been planning for hundreds of years. Your father died for this.

It's all for you. There must be no mistakes in that matter."

"Don't worry, Mother. I have been preparing for these years, and I will definitely be able to subdue that thing for my own use." Ouyang Zhi looked solemn.

"I believe you."

......

......

Hidden Weapons Valley, an Upper House Class A room.

Chen Yuan sat cross-legged, recalling what happened today.

Suddenly, he frowned, imperceptibly gripped the Wild Goose Feather Saber in his hand, and said faintly towards the door:

"Which brother is visiting? Why don't you come in and talk?"

"Chen Qing Envoy, it's me..."

Hearing the familiar voice outside, Chen Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly. It was late at night, and a beautiful woman was visiting in the middle of the night. This was really a little... abnormal.
