Chapter 1943
Crow Huan gritted his teeth. He wasn't interested in chatting with Gu Chen. "What exactly do you want?"
"You know the current situation very well. I'm here to give you a chance," Gu Chen said indifferently.
"Do you think you can scare me with those dirty assassination methods?" Crow Huan said hatefully.
"Dirty? Didn't Wu Lie also do the same thing that happened in Peidu? As his brother, you should know that, right? "
"You're not a six-year-old child anymore. Don't you think it's ridiculous to say such things?"
A look of disdain appeared on Gu Chen's face. The current situation in Beijing was exactly the same as what happened to Peidu in the past. In fact, Wu Lie was even more ruthless back then. King Peidu was directly killed by Gu Chen, yet Wu Lie was willing to spare his grandson's life.
His words left Crow Huan speechless. His face turned red and he finally said, "What's so good about Liu Yan, King Pei? Why did you choose him and not Wu Lie? "
Now that things had developed to this point, he was sure that if Gu Chen wanted to, Wu Lie wouldn't have died in the Scorching Sun Clan's ancestral land.
Wu Lie had always been Wu Lie, so he was still brooding over Wu Lie's death.
"Wu Lie died because of Emperor Sheng. You should know this very well," said Gu Chen. He didn't seem to answer the question.
"What about Emperor Sheng? Who killed him? "Crow Huan asked agitatedly.
"Old Emperor Sheng was killed by Ye Wunian, the Pavilion Master of the Wang Wu Pavilion. Ye Wunian has already been defeated by me, so the Wang Wu Pavilion is now under my control. You can say that I've avenged Old Emperor Sheng," Gu Chen answered truthfully.
"What?"
Crow Huan couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't know the truth.
When the palace was in chaos and Emperor Sheng suddenly died, he blamed Gu Chen for it. But after he escaped, he calmed down and investigated the scene. He knew that Emperor Sheng wasn't necessarily killed by Wu Lie. The Flaming Sun Crown Prince or the Qiankun Group were also suspects.
Now that Gu Chen had named the murderer, he was surprised that the murderer was actually the Pavilion Leader of Honesty Pavilion. He fell silent for a moment.
He didn't doubt the veracity of the other party's words. He also had some information about the Pavilion of Innocence. Moreover, at this point, there was no need for the other party to lie about this matter.
"The Qiankun Society has their eyes on Dacheng, and so does the Innocent Pavilion. There are countless people who want Dacheng as a piece of meat. As long as they get involved in this power struggle, there will definitely be bloodshed. There's no way they can escape."
"To him, all of this is too cruel. He has no chance of winning. He might not even have the chance to grow."
Gu Chen sighed with emotion as he looked at the sleeping little grandson.
"My race's hundred thousand crow generals pledge their lives to protect His Majesty Li Hui. We will not let him die young."
Crow Huan said stubbornly. His gaze was fixed on Gu Chen from beginning to end, afraid that he would do something detrimental to the little grandson in the next moment.
"It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but it's hard to guard against a stab in the dark. If I could easily get to his bedside today, others can do the same."
"Although the hundred thousand crow generals are strong, do you believe that you can't stop me at all?"
Gu Chen said proudly. Crow Huan was unwilling to accept this, but he couldn't refute it.
The other party had indeed gotten close to His Majesty without him noticing. So many important people in the city had been assassinated, and even the crow generals were helpless!
He thought back to the day when Gu Chen escaped from the capital. Not even the sky full of crow generals could stop him, and even the great formation protecting the capital was easily broken. This person's strength was so strong that it made people feel despair.
Whether it was the general situation or individual strength, they didn't have an advantage at all. How could they fight?
"I'd rather die in glory than live in dishonor!"
Any argument seemed so futile. Crow Huan could only go all out.
"Rather die than submit? Let me ask you, would your old chief want the Golden Crow Clan to die for Dacheng and the Blazing Sun Clan to perish, or would he want to leave a chance for the two clans to continue? "
Gu Chen shook his head. If it were anyone else, they would have surrendered long ago. However, the Golden Crow Clan was all stubborn.
"You don't have the right to mention the old chief!" Crow Huan said hatefully.
"Is that so?"
Gu Chen stood up and raised his hand. Crow Huan instantly tensed up, thinking that he was going to attack.
Weng — —
On Gu Chen's raised palm, a golden crow imprint suddenly shone brightly, releasing an aura that Crow Huan was very familiar with.
"Old chief!"
Crow Huan cried out involuntarily. He recognized that this imprint belonged to the old chief, and it was an inheritance imprint that could only be left behind by the old chief willingly!
Why would the old chief's inheritance imprint be in Chen Yi's hands?
Crow Huan couldn't understand. Although the inheritance imprint was only a symbol, it was only passed down to the younger generation. Why would the old chief pass it down to an outsider?
"Before your clan's old chief died, he made an agreement with me …"
Gu Chen spoke frankly with assurance, answering the questions in Crow Huan's heart.
This imprint was an escape route that the old crow left behind for the Blazing Sun Clan and the younger generation. It was the best choice when the situation had reached a point of no return.
Gu Chen wanted to recruit the hundred thousand crow generals, and he didn't want the seven nations to suffer a great loss. Thus, he was willing to patiently persuade Crow Huan.
Apart from that, he admired the loyalty of the Golden Crow Clan, whether it was the old crow or Crow Huan. He didn't want to kill too many people.
The little royal grandson was only a six-year-old child. He didn't pose any threat to him, so why would he have any killing intent towards him?
The reason why he used him to threaten Crow Huan was because he hoped that he would recognize reality and stop resisting stubbornly, causing more lives to be lost.
For Gu Chen, it was the best choice to take down Great Cheng without shedding a single drop of blood.
"You will represent Li Hui to announce his abdication, hand over the nation's divine artifact, and hand it over to Emperor Pei Liu Yan."
"In return, Li Hui and the Blazing Sun Clan can still maintain the Sheng Yang Realm. From now on, the Sheng Yang Realm will be the Sheng Kingdom, and Li Hui will be the King of Sheng, living a peaceful and happy life."
"As for the Golden Crow Clan and the hundred thousand crow generals, you can still stay in the Sheng Kingdom. However, if I or Emperor Pei give the order, you must accept the conscription."
"These are the most generous conditions that I can give you. I hope that you can give me an answer tonight!"
Gu Chen listed out the conditions and requests that he could give in one breath, then waited for Crow Huan's answer.
His answer would determine whether the Sheng Yang Realm would turn into a river of blood or maintain peace.
Crow Huan learned of the old crow's good intentions before his death, and his heart was filled with sorrow. He looked at the little royal grandson on the bed for a long time.
The situation was no longer on the Blazing Sun Clan's side, so he didn't know what other choice he could make.
There was no such thing as a dynasty that would prosper forever. Perhaps it was time to return what Great Cheng had taken from Emperor Pei.
Perhaps the only thing he could do was to protect the little royal grandson as he grew up safely, so that his clan could continue to flourish.
This was the old clan leader's intention, and it was also the best choice …
Crow Huan took a deep breath and finally made up his mind. He faced Gu Chen, who was standing with his hands behind his back, and half-knelt on the ground like a general!
