In the turbulent void.

The Gumu Barbarian God of the Ancient Gold Royal Court and the Zhuming Barbarian God of the Gu Feng Royal Court faced each other, each somewhat silent, the atmosphere very still.

The area where they stood was precisely where they had fought before.

Startled by the aura of Emperor Chu Taizu, they realized that the terrifying presence had not actually attacked. Sensing something was amiss, they cautiously returned to investigate.

As a result, they discovered that the person from before had vanished without a trace.

They... had been played!

"Who was that person? Do you recognize him?" the Zhuming Barbarian God asked the Gumu Barbarian God. Of the three royal courts, the Ancient Gold Royal Court was closest to the Central Plains.

They fought with the Central Plains almost every year, and had the deepest understanding of the current Central Plains.

"Human..."

The Gumu Barbarian God recognized Chen Yuan. He knew some information about him, and when he saw his face, he recognized him as the one who had ruined his plans before Liangzhou City.

He had been paying attention to his movements ever since, knowing of his current achievements. But before he could finish his words, a powerful aura descended upon the area.

Turning back, the two saw the Wufeng Barbarian God appear before them with a grim expression, staring at them and asking:

"Where is that person from the Central Plains?"

"He ran."

"Ran?!"

The Wufeng Barbarian God's pupils constricted, somewhat surprised and angered. He had searched hard all this way, and he had actually escaped!

"That person used a method during the fight, displaying terrifying power at the Earth Immortal level or even beyond. We were caught off guard and had to avoid it, but we were tricked by that person."

"Where did he run to?"

"We don't know."

"You..."

"What, do you want to lecture us?" The Gumu Barbarian God of the Ancient Gold Royal Court frowned, somewhat displeased. They had come to help, not to be subordinates of Wufeng.

Even if he had the highest seniority and status, they were all at the Sixth Realm, so who was lower than whom?

"I just couldn't help myself."

"Doesn't your Gu Mu Royal Court have 'Ten Thousand Mile Tracking'? It might still be useful now."

"I already used it before."

The Wufeng Barbarian God said with a dark face.

"What exactly did that person take from the Gu Mu Royal Court that has made you so furious?" the Zhuming Barbarian God asked casually, his eyes flickering.

"He destroyed the holy mountain of my Gu Mu clan."

"Hehe, that thing is just a symbol, you can rebuild one. Why be so furious?" Hearing this, both Barbarian Gods were somewhat disbelieving.

"Hmph!"

The Wufeng Barbarian God naturally didn't want to tell them the specific reason, otherwise, after he got back the Xuanwu flesh, he would inevitably have to share it with them.

"Who exactly is that person? Do you recognize him?" Wufeng asked with a frown.

The Gumu Barbarian God replied:

"This person is the current power dominating half of the Central Plains, known as the Prince of Yan. He commands over a million soldiers and countless experts, and is revered as the number one on the Central Plains Heaven Ranking."

"Number one on the Heaven Ranking, and not yet entered the Sixth Realm?" The Wufeng Barbarian God was somewhat disbelieving. When he was tracking before, he had used all means without being able to catch up with him.

As for the Heaven Ranking, he had also heard of it. It was a ranking for those below the Sixth Realm in the Central Plains.

"Don't underestimate this person. Although he has not yet entered the Sixth Realm, he can fight beyond his level. He has stained his hands with the blood of immortals, and is no different from an immortal. When the royal court launched a large-scale invasion of Liangzhou in the Central Plains, he ruined my plans. At that time... he had not yet entered the Fifth Realm, a troublesome fellow."

"Anything else?"

"Friend Wufeng, don't think about immediately going to the Central Plains to capture him. According to the information I have, he not only has other immortals helping him, but also an Earth Immortal powerhouse hidden in the shadows.

Even the Buddha of the Buddhist sect has taken action twice without being able to suppress him."

"A Yang God Realm Peak, Semi-Immortal Realm, can make an Earth Immortal take action?" Wufeng was somewhat disbelieving.

"If you don't believe me, you can try it and see if I'm lying to you."

The Gumu Barbarian God snorted coldly.

"Then how should we capture this person?"

Wufeng still didn't want to give up.

The Gumu Barbarian God immediately said:

"If you want to capture this person, it's simple. The three royal courts completely join forces to attack the Central Plains, instead of you two dividing your forces and pretending. After you take the Central Plains, what losses can't be made up?"

"This..."

The Zhuming Barbarian God hesitated, not immediately agreeing.

Their two royal courts were too far from the Central Plains. They couldn't possibly migrate there. Wouldn't the Ancient Gold Royal Court get the biggest benefit?

"Today, I came here because the Wufeng Barbarian God summoned me for the matter of alliance. Now the Central Plains is in chaos, with various factions fighting. However, in just half a year, half of the Central Plains has been unified.

If we prairie barbarians ignore it, then when Chen Yuan completely unifies the Central Plains and gains the blessings of heaven and earth, he will be another Chu Taizu who swept across the prairie.

Do you want to relive the great catastrophe of a thousand years ago?"

The Gumu Barbarian God asked in a deep voice.

"Attacking the Central Plains is a big matter."

The Zhuming Barbarian God shook his head.

"Short-sighted, friend Wufeng. You are located near the Ice Plains, don't you know that the speed at which the Ice Plains are engulfing is getting faster and faster? Are you going to wait until the snow of the Ice Plains covers the prairie before annexing the Central Plains?"

The Wufeng Barbarian God's eyes flickered, and he nodded after a moment of silence:

"The Gu Mu Royal Court has been gradually migrating. In another hundred years, two-tenths of the current prairie will be covered in ice and snow, unsuitable for human habitation."

"A hundred years, one-fifth. In another five hundred years, the prairie may disappear. If we don't act now, when will we act?" The Gumu Barbarian God said in a low voice.

"Gumu, you are located on the southern border of the prairie, adjacent to the Central Plains. What do you think we should do?" The Wufeng Barbarian God continued to speak.

"Your two royal courts should send out all your elites and merge with the Ancient Gold Royal Court, gathering a million elite iron cavalry to completely slaughter the Central Plains. With you and me three working together,

Even if we can't take down the entire Central Plains, occupying the three northern states of the Central Plains should be enough. After that, we can slowly plan to completely integrate our prairie tribes into the Central Plains..."

"The three royal courts join forces, who will be the leader?"

The Zhuming Barbarian God looked at Gumu.

"The three royal courts merge into one, emulating the former Xiongnu Royal Court, selecting a true Great Khan to lead the prairie tribes, while you and I three hold the position of Barbarian God, mutually equal.

If there are major events, we will discuss them with each other."

"This may not be an easy task."

Wufeng was the oldest and had seen the most, knowing how difficult it would be for the three royal courts to unite. None of the three royal clans would be willing to submit to the hands of others.

"Time will smooth everything out."

Gumu stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes deep.

"Let's plot to conquer the Central Plains first, this matter can be discussed later."

The Zhuming Barbarian God saw that the two had already reached an agreement, and then nodded.

......

......

On the other side, Chen Yuan, who had successfully escaped, was completely unaware that his actions had accelerated the alliance of the three major royal courts of the prairie.

He only knew that it was still very dangerous before leaving the prairie, and he couldn't relax his vigilance in the slightest.

On the way back to the Central Plains, Chen Yuan changed direction several times. It took him a full five days to realize that it was completely safe before he breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the border of the Central Plains.

He didn't immediately go to Nine Dragons Mountain in Nanzhou to break through, not because he wasn't in a hurry, but because he wanted to see Wei Jinfeng again and take some time to heal his injuries.

After all, he would have to continue to recuperate after returning.

Moreover, with Wei Jinfeng's strength, he couldn't hurt him now.

Traveling quickly, Chen Yuan soon learned that Wei Jinfeng was now within the border of Liangzhou, confronting the prairie army outside and constantly training his troops.

Even when he arrived at Jianmen Pass, the barbarians were attacking. However, they didn't have the momentum of their last large-scale invasion. They were just condensing battle formations and using various machines to try to climb the city.

The setting sun was like blood, and the fighting shook the sky.

Chen Yuan stood on the peaks on both sides of Jianmen Pass, watching this great battle with his own eyes, as if he had returned to the time when 700,000 iron cavalry from the barbarians trampled the Central Plains.

However, compared to the past, he was now completely different.

He could even eliminate this great battle with a wave of his hand.

But he didn't act, just watched quietly.

From the fact that the three Barbarian Gods joined forces to surround and block him, it could be seen that they must have been clear about the Divine Beast Xuanwu and that it was extremely important. If he took action, he wouldn't be helping them, but harming them.

Once his whereabouts were revealed, he would be greeted by the three Barbarian Gods themselves.

Liangzhou couldn't stop them!

As the sun gradually set, the prairie general sounded the retreat, ending another great battle. The defending soldiers were exhausted and began to change shifts.

The Beiliang King Wei Jinfeng, in a golden armor and cloak, stood silently on Jianmen Pass, wondering when this great battle would end and when the Central Plains would be unified...

As he was thinking, he suddenly frowned, and a familiar voice came to his ears.

After hesitating for a moment, he ordered the general beside him to guard the city gate. Then, he disappeared into the void on the spot. When he reappeared, he was already on the left summit of Jianmen Pass.

In front of him stood a young man in a black robe, looking at the battlefield below with his hands behind his back, his eyebrows calm as water.

"Why does the Prince of Yan have time to come here?"

Wei Jinfeng walked to Chen Yuan's side and said slowly.

Chen Yuan turned his face, smiling:

"This is also where I once fought, why can't I come?"

"It seems that I, Wei, am being stingy."

Wei Jinfeng shook his head.

"You, the King of Beiliang, have never been stingy."

"Why does the Prince of Yan have to flatter me? If you have anything to say, just say it directly. We have some friendship between us, no need to be polite."

"Okay, then I'll be direct."

"Please."

Chen Yuan looked at the northern sky, and said solemnly:

"Liangzhou is just a small place, at most only 300,000 iron cavalry. It can't stop the Ancient Gold Royal Court. Now they are just not serious yet. If war really breaks out, the people of Liangzhou will inevitably suffer!"

"So?"

"So, join me, and I will block the prairie for you."

"So the Prince of Yan came to persuade me to surrender."

Wei Jinfeng laughed out loud. Actually, he wasn't too surprised, because he had already expected this day, especially when Chen Yuan dominated the south and was eyeing the world, he knew it wasn't far away.

It was just somewhat... difficult to accept surrendering to a former subordinate.

"Your Wei family guards the northern border for the Central Plains and has worked hard. It is worth my coming in person. But this is the first time, and the last time. I admire the ambition of the King of Liang, but I will not forget the big picture because of it."

Chen Yuan said seriously.

"To be praised so much by the Prince of Yan, it's not in vain for me to have fought bloody battles for many years." Wei Jinfeng laughed heartily. Chen Yuan was not the former Jin Envoy of Liangzhou, but the current number one on the Heaven Ranking.

Even he was far behind.

He felt comfortable in his heart to receive a compliment from such an existence.

"Then what does the King of Liang want to do?"

"Hehe, the Prince of Yan has already achieved great power, what else can I do? If I refuse, I'm afraid not only will Liangzhou be gone, but my Wei family will also disappear completely."

"No, for the sake of our former friendship, I will leave blood for the Wei family."

"Then thank you very much."

"Um."

"When do you want me to surrender?"

Wei Jinfeng asked with a smile.

"Doesn't the King of Liang ask what conditions I'm offering?" Chen Yuan smiled.

"Almost forgot, Prince of Yan, please tell me."

"If the King of Liang surrenders, you will still guard Liangzhou from now on. The 300,000 iron cavalry will still be given to you, according to the conditions originally offered by Da Jin."

"Isn't the Prince of Yan afraid that I will rebel again after my strength is accumulated enough?"

Wei Jinfeng raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

He originally thought that it would be very difficult for Chen Yuan to give him a kingdom. After all, the current Yan army is different from the original Da Jin. Da Jin needed him to guard Liangzhou, and then constantly used soft knives to cut the flesh, hoping to disintegrate the Beiliang army.

But Chen Yuan has already achieved great power, and his subordinates are as strong as clouds. He himself is an independent and decisive character. It is hard to imagine that he would allow the Beiliang army to grow.

"This is what you deserve. Moreover, this is not a good position. As long as you are in power, Liangzhou cannot be lost, otherwise I will also cut your power.

As for rebellion, do you think I'm afraid?"

"Just because of this sentence from the Prince of Yan, if the Wei family really has any rebellious intentions in the future, don't worry about friendship, you can kill them all. What I care about is Liangzhou, not the Wei family."

Wei Jinfeng said in a deep voice.

"The matter of surrender is not urgent for the time being. I will send you a message, but before that, you must first completely take down Youzhou. If you are unable to do so, I will send troops."

"Zhongzhou can be easily taken down, isn't the Prince of Yan going to take action?"

"The time has not yet come."

"Understood."

"I'm leaving, King of Liang, take care, be careful of the prairie's movements."

"Wait."

Wei Jinfeng suddenly stopped Chen Yuan.

"What else is there?"

Chen Yuan looked back.

"Did Xiang Qianqiu really die in your hands?" Wei Jinfeng asked very seriously.

"Yes."

Listening to Chen Yuan's decisive answer, Wei Jinfeng suddenly felt a little dazed. At this time, Chen Yuan was really very similar to Xiang Qianqiu, whom he had seen in the military camp.

Not only the appearance, but also the temperament.

"Prince of Yan, take care."

"I'm leaving..."

Chen Yuan tore open the void and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Wei Jinfeng sighed softly, looking at the battlefield below, he didn't come back to his senses for a long time. Vaguely, he thought of more than two hundred years ago.

It seemed that Sima Yuande was also standing here, promising him these conditions.

The dynasty... is a cycle.

The Wei family, but used to guard here.

It seems that it's not bad...

Enfeoffment, a king with a different surname, except for being a little desolate, there is nothing bad about it...

————

Next, he will start breaking through to the Sixth Realm.

It's almost over...
