Above Shuzhou City, Chen Yuan glanced at Zhou Zhong below, a faint killing intent flashing in his eyes. Earlier, when he was enjoying Zhou Ji's buns, he had clearly sensed that the meat was not good.

It was somewhat like the human flesh recorded in books.

If Xiang Qianqiu hadn't suddenly appeared, he would have confronted this person and tested his mettle. In his territory, he dared to be so arrogant, not taking him seriously at all.

Truly courting death!!!

His eyes focused, Chen Yuan's immense divine sense quickly enveloped the entire Shuzhou City area. Soon, he discovered a trace that Xiang Qianqiu seemed to have intentionally left behind.

A faint smile curved his lips, and he swiftly transformed into a streak of dark light, soaring through the air to chase after him.

......

Soon, the light streaked across the sky, chasing all the way out of Shuzhou City. About several dozen miles away, Chen Yuan's speed gradually decreased, and he stood steadily in the void.

Across from him, a thousand feet away, Xiang Qianqiu was also looking at him with a smile, showing none of the gloomy, unwilling expression he had worn at the Goddess Palace.

"It seems I interrupted your good plans?"

The wisp of Xiang Qianqiu's consciousness that appeared back then was not simply a casual appearance. He had also seen Chen Yuan and the figure beside him.

With his powerful cultivation, he could not quite see through the other person, who seemed like an ordinary mortal. But that was just an illusion. He had a premonition that the person was not simple.

"Kill you, then deal with it later."

Chen Yuan said calmly.

"So, I'm still important to you?"

Xiang Qianqiu raised an eyebrow.

"You are not important to me."

"Heh..."

"But not having you is important to me. The battle at the Goddess Palace should have been when we decided victory, defeat, life, and death. It's a pity you weren't willing to fight to the death. What? Are you confident this time?"

"Hahaha... Defeat at the Goddess Palace was not a crime of war. This seat truly did not expect that you would have a terrestrial immortal expert backing you, leading to a misstep. Naturally, I was unwilling to engage in a pointless fight to the death.

As for now..."

Xiang Qianqiu took a deep breath, looking in the direction of Shuzhou City and saying:

"Now that you have gained momentum, this seat has lost everything. There is nothing to scheme. I only wish to completely settle the father-son grievances with you. From now on, you no longer need to worry about me, and this seat no longer needs to be concerned about you."

"That suits me perfectly."

Chen Yuan nodded.

He had long wanted to settle the grievances. It was a pity that the timing was wrong several times, and his strength was relatively weak, so Xiang Qianqiu managed to escape.

"Since you and I both have this intention, then that is naturally best. However, no matter what, you and I are father and son. The grudges between us are personal, I think it's best not to involve too many people, what do you think?"

Xiang Qianqiu asked with a smile.

Chen Yuan shook his head:

"You think that with a few words of provocation, this king will be fooled like a naive rookie? Since I have come to this king's territory, since I know this king intends to kill you.

You should be prepared to be besieged."

Chen Yuan extended his right palm and clenched it suddenly. In an instant, several powerful auras erupted around him, surrounding Xiang Qianqiu from all directions, sealing off his escape routes.

Killing Xiang Qianqiu had been Chen Yuan's top priority since returning from the Western Regions. Naturally, he had been planning it for some time, waiting for the other party to not be able to resist taking action.

The reason he walked out of the palace in such a nonchalant manner was to lure him out. His words just now were to buy time.

To the east, Chen Huaiyi, holding a divine spear, slowly appeared. His aura connected with the heavens and the earth. The tip of the spear trembled, and a cold light flashed:

"Crown Prince, it's time to accompany the late emperor on the road!"

Xiang Qianqiu turned his gaze, looking slightly gloomy:

"Impudent! How dare you be disrespectful to the late emperor!"

"The Xiang family's kindness has been repaid by the extermination of my Chen family. We no longer owe your Xiang family anything. Why can't I call him by his name? Do you still think this is the Great Chu Dynasty reborn?"

To the west, Taoist Tianxu held the Zhou Tian Star Chart, connecting with the stars, forming a large net. Thirty-six Sea Stabilizing Pearls surrounded his body, like celestial bodies:

"Hehe, please go on your way, Fellow Daoist Xiang."

"Humph!"

Xiang Qianqiu snorted coldly, glancing at Taoist Tianxu.

He had originally been developing territory in Yangzhou with Taoist Lingxu, but because the forces in Yangzhou were too weak, no one could match them.

Therefore, after occupying most of Yangzhou's territory, Chen Yuan temporarily transferred him back to Shuzhou City, originally intending to make other arrangements, but now he could be used.

"Amitabha, Benefactor Xiang, long time no see." Arhat Subduing Dragon, Monk Xuyan, wearing a green monk robe, was all smiles. His injuries had almost completely recovered.

Although his aura was not as strong as Taoist Tianxu, it was not weak.

"You think you can do anything?"

Xiang Qianqiu seemed to disdain Monk Xuyan, not paying any attention to him.

"This poor monk alone naturally cannot, but assisting from the side can still contribute. I'm afraid I've made Benefactor Xiang laugh."

"Xiang Qianqiu, haven't you been looking for this old man's whereabouts? Now... this old man is here!" Located in the north was an old man with gray hair and beard.

He was holding a divine brush, exuding a scholarly air.

As for his identity, it was none other than the Painting Sage, Wu Daozi!

Since the last battle at Zijin Mountain, Wu Daozi had almost disappeared, retreating from Chen Yuan's sphere of influence. But that was not a true departure, just recuperation.

At that time, he only had a fragmented Yang God, his physical body was destroyed, and his injuries were extremely serious. Chen Yuan used a large number of precious spiritual objects to restore his injuries and allowed him to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests.

When Chen Yuan's momentum was established in the future, he could naturally enjoy a worry-free life.

At first, Wu Daozi also agreed, after all, he really couldn't help much at that time, but later, as news of the world gradually reached his ears.

The Battle of Zhennan Pass, the Battle of Goddess Palace, Chen Yuan's pressure was great, and Xiang Qianqiu had also appeared. He didn't hesitate, threw down his fishing rod, and walked out of the mountains.

He had been hiding in Shuzhou City recently, just waiting for his appearance.

He was initially intimidated by Xiang Qianqiu's reputation, so he had to hide in Ping'an County for decades, keeping a low profile. Since there was an opportunity to take revenge for this grievance, he naturally had to take it.

"So you haven't died yet. This seat always thought you had died at the hands of Jingtai. Hehe... you have some luck, but with your little strength, you dare to interfere in this seat's father-son dispute. You are really courting death.

This seat suggests that you go back to Chen Family Village and continue to recuperate. Perhaps you can live a few more years, to avoid dying here."

"Chen Family Village!"

When he heard these words, Wu Daozi's face changed suddenly. How did Xiang Qianqiu know about Chen Family Village? Could it be... He looked directly at the other party, and asked in a deep voice:

"Was it you who secretly plotted when the court officials approached Chen Family Village?"

Hearing these words, Chen Huaiyi's face also changed, because the villagers of Chen Family Village were all descendants of the Chen family army!

"You're not stupid. That's right, it was this seat who revealed this information to the court, so Gu Tianqiong, Li Kuangxiu, and Sima Che took action against you later.

At that time... this seat was watching from the side, hehe..."

Xiang Qianqiu said with a faint smile, casually mentioning what happened back then.

"You deserve to die!"

Wu Daozi scolded sternly.

"Chen Family Village is full of descendants of the Chen family army, and the Chen family army soldiers all died for your Xiang family's foundation, Xiang Qianqiu, you are not even as good as a beast!"

Chen Huaiyi's face was full of killing intent, and the dense killing aura enveloped several feet around him, showing signs of solidification.

"All ants, they die when they die, do you think this seat needs to care about them? And they actually died because of you. If you hadn't been hiding in Chen Family Village.

Why would those villagers be implicated?"

Xiang Qianqiu looked directly at Wu Daozi and said.

"You..."

Hearing this, Chen Yuan's gaze also became a little gloomy. He had wondered why Wu Daozi's whereabouts were exposed, and originally thought it was the court's doing.

Now it seemed that everything was Xiang Qianqiu's conspiracy.

As for his purpose, it was to lure him to Zijin Mountain and have the battle that he had planned. No wonder this person had been watching the battle from the beginning, he was actually admiring his scheme.

"In that case, then you can accompany those villagers of Chen Family Village in death!" Chen Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly. In the next moment, his aura surged violently.

At the same time, Chen Huaiyi, Taoist Tianxu, Xuyan, and Wu Daozi also took their respective positions, forming a large array, completely locking down the surrounding void.

But unexpectedly, Xiang Qianqiu's expression did not change, he just looked at Chen Yuan quietly, and said softly:

"Come."

"Courting death!"

Chen Huaiyi's divine spear was blessed by the great array, and its power rose steadily, instantly turning into an extremely bright streamer, penetrating Xiang Qianqiu directly and pinning him in the void.

The surrounding atmosphere was a bit silent. Everyone was a little surprised, it seemed that they had not expected this scene, that they had broken through the opponent's defense so easily.

This... how is that possible?

How could Xiang Qianqiu be so weak?

No, absolutely not!

In an instant, this thought flashed through everyone's minds.

Looking at the divine spear constantly devouring his life force, Xiang Qianqiu grinned, revealing a smile, and looked at Chen Yuan:

"Did you think that this seat wouldn't expect you to prepare an ambush in advance?"

"Did you think that this seat would really be foolish enough to come to Shuzhou City to die?"

"Did you think that with them, you could keep this seat here?"

"Hehehe... then you have underestimated your father too much."

"Coming with only an incarnation doesn't show any sincerity in resolving things." Chen Yuan's expression remained unchanged, quietly staring at Xiang Qianqiu, his face like an ancient well, calm and indifferent.

"This seat said just now that I only wanted to resolve the grievances with you alone, and didn't want others to get involved. It's a pity that you never wanted to do so."

Xiang Qianqiu shook his head.

"Okay, this king will resolve it with you myself, where is your real body?"

Chen Yuan said calmly.

If he could besiege, he would naturally choose to besiege, but now it was clear that Xiang Qianqiu had made preparations in advance and hidden his real body. Since that was the case, he could only resolve it alone.

He wanted to see, in the same semi-immortal realm, which of them, father and son, was stronger!

By the way... use the second layer of preparation.

Yes, Xuyan and others were only the first layer of planning. Chen Yuan had also deduced that Xiang Qianqiu would make some preparations, and would not only have one plan.

Moro, was hidden nearby, ready to strike at any time!

"Impossible."

"Absolutely don't fall for Xiang Qianqiu's trick."

"This matter is too dangerous, don't take risks."

Taoist Tianxu, Chen Huaiyi, and Wu Daozi all advised, hoping to dispel Chen Yuan's dangerous idea, and not to be quick for a moment and put himself in a dangerous situation.

Xiang Qianqiu's strength was recognized as the best in the world, invincible below immortals. Even Ye Xiangnan was not his opponent, as had been proven at the Goddess Palace last time. Chen Yuan was also a little short of him.

Solo combat was too dangerous, they all disagreed.

"My mind is made up, everyone, there is no need to persuade me any further."

Chen Yuan raised his hand, stopping the few people from persuading him.

At the Goddess Palace, he was indeed not Xiang Qianqiu's opponent, but now he had comprehended the rules and entered another realm, so he was not the same as before.

And this news, besides Moro, no one else knew.

"This... it's too dangerous."

Wu Daozi frowned, his face full of worry.

"Say it, how do you want to fight, this king will accompany you."

Chen Yuan remained unmoved, seeming a little impulsive, blinded by hatred, but it was precisely because of this that he could prevent Xiang Qianqiu from becoming suspicious.

"Let them go first, this king will take you to a place."

Xiang Qianqiu pulled out the divine spear and threw it to Chen Huaiyi casually, still looking directly at Chen Yuan. He also had a reliance, and wanted to see Chen Yuan's despairing expression at that time.

"You leave first, I'll handle the rest."

"This..."

"No."

"Don't take such risks."

"Go!"

If possible, he naturally didn't want them to leave. Several True Monarchs forming a formation to besiege would naturally make Xiang Qianqiu suffer, but this person was also deep in thought, making preparations in advance.

Destroying only one incarnation wouldn't even hurt him, and there wouldn't be such a good opportunity to kill him next time. Chen Yuan still wanted to use the destiny guidance from Xiang Qianqiu to successfully find the path to becoming an immortal with his physical body.

Only by becoming an immortal could he have real confidence!

Faced with Chen Yuan's order, the few people looked at each other, and finally gathered on Taoist Tianxu. He frowned, sighed softly, and nodded:

"Be careful in everything."

He had also seen some tricks, Chen Yuan was so confident, he must have other plans, their delay here would only spoil things.

"Be careful!"

Chen Huaiyi nodded slightly.

"Amitabha..."

The few people quickly reached an agreement. They were now considered Chen Yuan's subordinates and had to obey his orders. Immediately, they soared away without hesitation.

In a short while, only the father and son were left here.

"Now, show your real body."

Chen Yuan looked directly at the other party, his tone a little impatient.

"How can the Yan King, who occupies the south and half the country, be so impatient? In the future, you must learn to be a superior person."

"A superior person who kills his wife and abandons his son?"

"A superior person should abandon all emotions and prioritize interests."

"Hehe..."

"Don't you want to find this king's real body? If you have the guts, then come with this king!" Xiang Qianqiu smiled lightly, and a vortex suddenly appeared in the surrounding void.

Then, he turned around and stepped into it.
