You get Lu Bu as your starting character.

Chapter 393 Uncle Yang, he just left like that?
to be frank.

Lu Bu and his companions all disliked the arrogant attitude of the Third Prince of the Azure Dragon Dynasty.

Do you think that just because you were born into a dynasty and are the third prince of the dynasty, you can be high and mighty and act like you're second to none?

They even want to recruit them and make them serve the dynasty; that's utterly absurd.

Lu Bu and the others stared straight at Zhou Chen.

Although the third prince of the Azure Dragon Dynasty was surrounded by four invincible half-saints and a team of armored warriors at the Reincarnation Realm, his guarding strength was not weak.

However, Lü Bu and his men were confident that they could capture the third prince of the Azure Dragon Dynasty.

As long as Zhou Chen gives the order, they will act without hesitation, making the third prince of the Azure Dragon Dynasty understand that in the face of absolute power, all status and position are meaningless.

"Need not."

Zhou Chen watched as the Third Prince of the Azure Dragon Dynasty's carriage disappeared into the void, and shook his head.

Putting aside whether they can actually keep the third prince of the Azure Dragon Dynasty.

Even if they could actually keep the third prince of the Azure Dragon Dynasty, it wouldn't mean much to the Great Zhou.

Aside from killing four half-saints and one third prince of the dynasty, it brought no real benefit to the Great Zhou.

Conversely, it would provoke the Azure Dragon Dynasty, thereby incurring its wrath.

Since that's the case, and it doesn't bring much benefit to the Great Zhou, why should Zhou Chen make Lu Bu and the others go to the trouble of keeping the Third Prince of the Azure Dragon Dynasty here?

Say.

Even Lu Bu and his men weren't necessarily 100% certain that they could capture the third prince of the Azure Dragon Dynasty.

As the third prince of the Azure Dragon Dynasty, how could he possibly not have any trump cards to protect his life?
Upon hearing Zhou Chen's words, Lu Bu and the others all glanced unwillingly in the direction where the Third Prince of the Azure Dragon Dynasty had left.

Although they all wanted to take action and capture the third prince of the Azure Dragon Dynasty, Zhou Chen did not speak, so they had no choice but to back down.

……

Qingfeng Palace.

Mu Yuyan watched in surprise as the nine-headed demon's chariot departed high in the sky.

In Mu Yuyan's mind, she knew the temperament of this third prince of the dynasty.

That person is definitely not one to give up easily; he is the epitome of domineering.

Anyone who offends this third prince will not escape unscathed, and this third prince of the dynasty never shows mercy.

The arrival of this third prince of the dynasty in the Great Zhou was clearly not a friendly affair.

Mu Yuyan knew best what they were after.

Originally, Mu Yuyan had already made several preparations for what would happen if the Third Prince of the Dynasty made a move.

But now, the third prince of the dynasty left without making any unusual moves.

This was truly beyond Mu Yuyan's expectations.

Did this third prince of the dynasty not know that his betrothed, the Miss Mu, had already entered the harem of the Great Zhou?

Or has this third prince of the dynasty changed his ways?

Has she become more agreeable and less domineering than before?
It wasn't just Mu Yuyan who was surprised.

Even Steward Yang, who was standing nearby, did not expect that the third prince of the dynasty would leave so easily without making a move.

"Uncle Yang, he just left like that?"

Mu Yuyan frowned as she stared at the disappearing vehicle high in the sky.

Mu Yuyan was somewhat unsure what the third prince of the dynasty was up to.

Mu Yuyan couldn't believe that the third prince of the dynasty was unaware that the Great Zhou had already consolidated its national fortune, or that she had already entered the Great Zhou's harem.

“Miss, although the third prince of this dynasty is a bit domineering at times, he is definitely not a brainless person.”

"He also saw the fighting strength of Lu Bu and his men just now."

"It is estimated that even the third prince of this dynasty was not confident in dealing with Lü Bu and his group, which is why he did not make a move."

Steward Yang's eyes flickered, and he guessed.

Aside from this explanation, Chief Steward Yang couldn't think of any other reason that could make the usually domineering Third Prince of the Dynasty voluntarily retreat.

After all, the hatred of having one's wife stolen and the challenge to the majesty of the dynasty would not be something even the most good-natured person could remain indifferent to.

Moreover, this was the third prince of the dynasty, who was always known for his domineering temperament.

...Zhou Chen was also surprised.

To be honest, Zhou Chen didn't expect that the Third Prince of the Azure Dragon Dynasty would leave so easily.

Zhou Chen knew better than anyone that the third prince of the dynasty was up to no good.

But in the end, the third prince of the dynasty left without making any move.

This surprised Zhou Chen, and he couldn't help but admire them. Although these people of noble birth usually looked down on everyone and had an arrogant and condescending attitude, he had to admit that they were not simple characters.

Back in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Zhou Chen sat on the dragon throne, deep in thought.

Although the third prince of that dynasty had left, Zhou Chen did not think that the matter was over.

The calm before the storm is often like this.

……

at the same time.

When the seven half-saint elders of Qingyun Sect and Ziyang Sect perished.

The life tablets left by the seven semi-saint elders in the Qingyun Sect and Ziyang Sect were all shattered.

A melodious bell rang throughout the Qingyun Sect.

After the bell rang, more than a dozen figures appeared in the sect's main hall one after another.

"what happened?"

"What happened?"

Why would the sect sound the alarm?

The dozen or so figures were all whispering amongst themselves.

The sect's warning bell is only rung when something major happens within the sect.

These dozen or so figures were all elders and high-ranking members of the Qingyun Sect, representing the sect's top strength.

They were all unaware of the seriousness of the matter that had triggered such a alarm within the sect.

The Qingyun Sect Master, sitting in the main seat, glanced at everyone with a gloomy expression and said, "The Elder Guardian just reported that of the five people who went to Da Zhou, apart from the Second Elder, the life tablets of the other four elders have all been shattered."

what?
As soon as these words came out.

The expressions of the dozen or so elders and high-ranking officials present all changed simultaneously.

The memorial tablet was shattered.

What does this represent?
The dozen or so elders and high-ranking officials present knew this better than anyone else.

This means that all four elders who followed the Second Elder to the Great Zhou Dynasty are dead.

This news shocked all of the dozen or so elders and high-ranking officials present.

It should be noted that the four elders who accompanied the Second Elder to the Great Zhou were all at the level of half-saints.

One of them is an invincible demigod, and there are three advanced demigods. Adding the second elder, that makes two invincible demigods and three advanced demigods.

Who could possibly deal with such a force? It even killed one of his Qingyun Sect's invincible half-saints and three high-level half-saints.

Could it be that a sage has intervened?
……

Simultaneously.

The same scene was unfolding at the Ziyang Sect.

The sect leader of the Ziyang Sect, who had been in seclusion, was invited out again.

Upon learning that the life tablets of the three elders sent to the Great Zhou Dynasty, except for the First Elder, had all been shattered, the Sect Master of the Ziyang Sect was extremely furious.

The sect leader of Ziyang Sect immediately ordered someone to sound the alarm for the sect and summoned all the elders for a meeting.

After all, the fall of an invincible half-saint and two high-level half-saints is no small matter, even for a top sect like the Ziyang Sect.

Zhou Chen was unaware of all this.

Perhaps, even if Zhou Chen knew, he wouldn't care.

As the year drew to a close in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Chen, as in previous years, hosted a banquet for all the officials.

The previous battle with the nine half-saint elders of the Qingyun Sect and Ziyang Sect in the sky did not affect the Great Zhou in the slightest, and the festive atmosphere of the year-end continued as usual.
