Chapter 1784
Chapter 1784
Before Gu Chen could make a move, he was stunned by this scene.
All the officials in the hall were also stunned. He actually escaped? Was this really the legendary killer of the Pavilion of Honesty, who had countless dead souls under his hands?
No one expected Householder Peach Blossom to escape so quickly. Even Gu Chen didn't have time to react!
"You're smart. Fine, I'll let you go." Gu Chen came back to his senses and shook his head with a smile.
To be able to clearly judge the strength of both sides and not be burdened by a false reputation was actually a kind of ability.
After fighting with this Householder Peach Blossom for a short while, his intuition and observation skills were very good, which made Gu Chen sigh in admiration.
Now that Gu Chen had joined the Pavilion of Honesty, he might meet Householder Peach Blossom again in the future. There was no need to make trouble for him.
Moreover, the killers of the Pavilion of Honesty were only paid to do their jobs. There was no great enmity between them, so he couldn't be bothered to pursue them.
With Householder Peach Blossom's escape, the banquet hall, which was supposed to be a bloodbath, became a farce. The scene of hundreds of officials forcing the emperor to abdicate suddenly seemed so ridiculous.
Tang Xuance looked excited, secretly glad that he had successfully invited Minister Chen. Otherwise, the crisis just now wouldn't have been resolved so easily!
Sitting on the throne, Prince Pei also heaved a sigh of relief. If Tang Xuance had been killed in front of him, then his prestige as the ruler of the country would have been completely gone. He would have had to abdicate even if he didn't want to.
But now it was different. With this mysterious Minister Chen in charge, and the Dancing Water Army still in charge of the defense of the palace, this group of traitorous officials wouldn't be able to do much!
"Good, good, good. I didn't expect to see such a good show when I passed by Peidu."
Suddenly, there was a round of applause outside the hall. Then, a group of demon birds in crimson armor flew into the hall like a whirlwind. In the blink of an eye, they lined up neatly on both sides!
Gu Chen narrowed his eyes. Householder Peach Blossom had just left, and now someone had arrived. He had already guessed who they were.
He looked carefully at these demon bird soldiers and found that they were three-legged Golden Crows with fierce auras. Their bodies were strong, and huge fire energy surged all over them.
"It's Crow General! Prince Wu Lie is here! "
The eyes of the uneasy officials in the hall brightened when they saw a group of Jinwu warriors. They seemed to have found a backbone in their hearts.
Tang Xuance's pupils suddenly contracted, and the haze that had just disappeared reappeared on his face.
Crow General!
It was a unique military branch of the Great Cheng Dynasty. Every soldier was strictly selected from the Three-legged Golden Crow Race.
The Three-legged Golden Crow Tribe was an extremely powerful bird tribe. Their tribesmen were born with strong physiques and were adept at fire-elemental dao techniques. On the battlefield, they could often fight one against a thousand.
Their individual strength was tyrannical, and it was destined that their army would be unstoppable as well. The Great Cheng Dynasty had once relied on the 655,555 Crow Generals in their hands to sweep through the Seven Kingdoms, finally establishing the dynasty's rule!
Tang Xuance was in charge of the Pei Nation's Waterdance Army. The Waterdance Army was considered a rather powerful army in Pei Nation, but he was well aware of the disparity in strength between them and Great Cheng's Crow General!
The Crow Generals had always only obeyed the Dacheng royalty, because the Dacheng royalty was the extremely rare Scorching Sun Tribe. Their tribe was the embodiment of the sun, and the Three-legged Golden Crow tribe had followed them for generations.
The Crow Generals were fierce warriors on the battlefield, but they were also the personal guards of the Dacheng royal family. Their appearance at this time meant that the Second Prince of Dacheng had arrived!
He had said that he would come today, but he had not shown himself. He had probably thought that he could resolve everything without showing himself. But because of Tributary Chen, his plan had failed. He had to come personally!
Two rows of Crow Generals stood on either side of the hall. A tall, burly young man from a foreign tribe, dressed in a black and gold embroidered robe, strode into the hall.
His skin was dark and deep, and there was an innate mark of a sun between his eyebrows. His eyes were constantly emitting light, but they had no pupils.
"This lowly one, Shao Jianmin, greets the Second Prince of Dacheng!"
Before anyone could react, Shao Jianmin knelt down to pay his respects to Prince Wu Lie.
He had not actually seen Prince Wu Lie before. The one who had been responsible for recruiting him had been his subordinate.
However, it was said that the second prince of Dacheng was born different from the other princes. He had the body of a sunspot, and his black skin was unique and easy to recognize.
Shao Jianmin knelt down to pay his respects, and the officials came back to their senses. Annoyed that they had missed a chance to show off, they hurriedly knelt down as well.
Their king was right behind them, but they could not wait to show their loyalty to their new master. This scene made the aged Prince Pei feel sad.
"Welcome, Second Prince. Old Man, please forgive me for not going out to meet you!"
Knowing that he had come with ill intentions, Prince Pei still stood up and greeted him politely, but he did not pay his respects.
According to the etiquette of the dynasty, the prince was equal to the kings of the seven kingdoms, so there was no need for him to pay his respects.
"Please forgive me for coming a little late, Prince Pei," Prince Wu Lie said with a smile.
Prince Wu Lie laughed. Although he looked rough and rough, he was actually more polite than he had imagined.
However, this was only a superficial courtesy. Those who knew about his secret methods all knew that this prince was decisive and ruthless.
"I just saw with my own eyes the Peach Blossom Householder of Honesty Pavilion flee. It was an eye-opener. May I know your name, Fellow Daoist? "
After chatting casually with Prince Pei, Prince Wu Lie immediately looked at Gu Chen and spoke in a seemingly friendly manner.
His words sounded polite, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was trying to settle scores.
Everyone knew that the killers of Honesty Pavilion were hired by the second prince. Now that the Tang family's consecrator had ruined the second prince's plans and forced him to show up in person, how could he have a good time?
Shao Jianmin and Shao Jianwu laughed coldly without saying a word. So what if he scared off the Peach Blossom Householder? Prince Wu Lie was not someone the mere Peach Blossom Householder could compare to.
No matter how powerful the Peach Blossom Householder was, he was just a killer who could not see the light of day. Prince Wu Lie, on the other hand, was extremely powerful!
Disregarding everything else, just the Crow General guards by his side could tell that each and every one of them had extraordinary skills!
Moreover, it was said that Prince Wu Lie was also very talented and was a true master of cultivation. Otherwise, he would not have been favored by Emperor Sheng and threatened the position of the Flaming Sun Crown Prince.
With the arrival of such a big shot, Gu Chen's previous tricks seemed to be useless. It was like hitting a rock with an egg.
"My surname is Chen, and my given name is Yi." Gu Chen looked at Wu Lie in front of him with interest and answered his question.
When he had browsed through the information in the Divine Wander Realm of Honesty Pavilion, he had naturally read up on the Scorching Sun Clan.
To be able to rule a huge dynasty and have a powerful bird clan like the Three-legged Golden Crow Clan as their follower, the Scorching Sun Clan was naturally not simple. It could be considered one of the strongest clans in the Dao World and even had a seat in the Heavenly Pu Dao Court.
This was the first time that Gu Chen had met someone from the Scorching Sun Clan. He could sense an extremely majestic fire energy in Wu Lie's body, which was far more powerful than that of the Crow General beside him.
This person's existence was like a sun. Even though he deliberately hid his sharpness, one could still feel the arrogance of a volcano that could melt everything when it erupted.
