You get Lu Bu as your starting character.

Upon hearing Zhou Chen's words, both the Demon Clan Great Sage and the Demon Court Great Sage revealed a disdainful sneer.

If Long Xingtian had said this, he would have had a tiny bit of the right to say it.

Because Long Xingtian is the ruler of a dynasty and a peak Lesser Saint, his status and strength are undeniable.

But what is Zhou Chen?
The emperor of a dynasty, whose strength had not yet reached the level of a sage.

He might be considered someone important in the eyes of ordinary people, but he is nothing in front of true powerhouses.

When did such ants dare to speak so arrogantly to a great sage like them?

"Emperor Zhou, the strength of your Great Zhou is somewhat surprising."

"But it was just an accident, not enough to make people stop in their tracks, and not enough to make you dare to speak so arrogantly in front of us. Yan Yong, we're asking for death."

"but…"

The conversation turned.

Both the Demon Clan Great Sage and the Demon Court Great Sage looked at Zhou Chen with ill intent; "Your departure from the Great Zhou's lair has saved us a lot of trouble."

Originally, the strength revealed by the Great Zhou made the Demon Clan's Great Sage and others very wary.

If a move is made within the Great Zhou's stronghold, no one can guarantee what kind of hidden resources the Great Zhou might possess.

But now that Zhou Chen, the emperor of the Great Zhou, has left the Great Zhou's stronghold and appeared here, they have one less thing to worry about.

As long as they act quickly enough, even if the Great Zhou still has some hidden strength, they won't be able to catch up in a short time.

Once we deal with Zhou Chen, the emperor of Great Zhou, and eliminate this group of powerful figures in Great Zhou, it will be much easier to take over Great Zhou.

"is it?"

"Then let's see if I'm just being presumptuous."

How could Zhou Chen not understand the meaning behind the words of the Demon Clan Great Sage?

He thought that since the emperor of the Great Zhou had left the Great Zhou, there would be an opportunity to take advantage of him and easily deal with the emperor of the Great Zhou.

Little did they know, this was actually a good thing for Zhou Chen!

If these alien Great Saints were allowed to make their move in the Great Zhou, the aftermath of the great war might affect the entire Great Zhou, which would not be a good thing for the Great Zhou.

"Call all your men out! There's no need to hide in the shadows any longer."

Zhou Chen stopped talking nonsense, shifted his gaze, and glanced into the depths of the void.

When Zhou Chen arrived here, he sensed several powerful auras hidden deep in the surrounding void.

In Zhou Chen's view, these auras should be the hidden hands of the imperial dynasty and the demon race.

"Emperor Zhou, you have misunderstood."

“We are not on the same side as these foreign thieves, and we will never associate with them.”

As soon as Zhou Chen finished speaking, five figures emerged from the depths of the void.

The leader was an elderly man with gray hair.

After the old man came out, he cupped his hands to Zhou Chen and said, "I am Qingyang, a rogue cultivator. The reason I am here is to join forces with Emperor Zhou to eliminate the traitors of my human race and deal with these alien thieves."

The old man didn't beat around the bush; he directly stated his identity and attitude.

Qingyang?

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across Zhou Chen's face.

Zhou Chen had initially thought these people hiding in the shadows were agents of the imperial court and foreign tribes!

Unexpectedly, he had misunderstood.

Zhou Chen had heard of Qingyang before.

While the Eastern Depot's intelligence system wasn't capable of detecting every single movement within the imperial court, it was still able to gather detailed information about powerful figures and their basic details.

Among them, Qingyang was listed as the highest level in the Eastern Depot's intelligence, and was on the same level as emperors like Long Xingtian and the ancestors of the four top sects.

Because Qingyang is a Great Sage, and the only Great Sage in the entire Eastern Region besides the Imperial Dynasty and the four top sects.

Zhou Chen looked at Qingyang, surprised and somewhat astonished.

What was unexpected was Qingyang's identity and attitude; what was surprising was that Qingyang actually wanted to join forces with him, the emperor of the Great Zhou, to deal with Long Xingtian and the Demon Clan, these alien races.

"Very well, I am more than happy to have the Great Sage of Qingyang and the four Sages willing to lend me a hand."

That's right.

Besides Qingyang, the Great Sage, the other four people following behind him were also Sages.

Zhou Chen was somewhat worried about not being able to deal with formidable enemies like Long Xingtian and the Demon Clan Great Sage. Now that the Great Sage of Qingyang and the others were willing to join forces, Zhou Chen couldn't be happier.

As the saying goes, more strength means more security.

With the addition of a Great Sage and four Saints, the chances of dealing with formidable enemies like Long Xingtian and the Demon Clan are much greater.

Long Xingtian and the Demon Clan Great Sage showed no change in expression when they saw the five people from Qingyang emerge from the depths of the void.

Even Zhou Chen could sense the hidden aura in the shadows, let alone Long Xingtian and the Demon Saint.

They had long sensed the presence hidden in the darkness of the surrounding void.

Long Xingtian looked at Qingyang, who had emerged from the darkness of the void, and said in a deep voice, "Qingyang, do you really want to be an enemy of me and the dynasty?"

"Don't forget, although you are a rogue cultivator, you are still from my Azure Dragon Dynasty, and you are a member of my Azure Dragon Dynasty."

In the past, Long Xingtian would have respectfully addressed him as Senior Qingyang or Great Sage Qingyang.

But at this moment, Long Xingtian addressed Qingyang by his given name, lacking the politeness and respect he usually showed.

"Hmph, you ungrateful wretch! It is precisely because I was born into the imperial dynasty that I am unwilling to see you push the entire dynasty into the abyss."

"You, Long Xingtian, as the ruler of the dynasty, have actually sided with foreign races, allowing these foreign traitors to run rampant within the dynasty. In just over a month, millions of humans have perished at the hands of these foreign traitors. You are unworthy to be the ruler of a dynasty."

Qingyang glared at Long Xingtian, his expression cold and hostile.

If it's an internal conflict among humans, Qingyang, as a rogue cultivator, won't get involved.

However, when it comes to alien races like the Demon Clan and the Demon Court, as a member of the human race and a powerful Great Sage, Qingyang would never stand idly by.

Because this is a matter of great importance to humanity.

"Today, I will join forces with Emperor Zhou to destroy you, this scum of humanity, and these barbarian traitors."

As Qingyang spoke, he glanced at the Demon Clan Great Sage and the others.

Upon hearing Qingyang's words, Long Xingtian's face immediately darkened.

As the ruler of the dynasty and the emperor with immense power in the entire Eastern Region, when has Long Xingtian ever been insulted like this?

They insulted me so harshly that I didn't even recognize my own nose or eyes.

If he had a choice, he wouldn't want to do that.

Doesn't he know that those who are not of our kind are bound to have different hearts?

Doesn't he know the greater good of humanity?
He knew all of this, but he simply had no other choice.

As the ruler of the dynasty, he must consider the overall situation and prioritize it, and not act impulsively or disregard everything else.

"Destroy us?"

"Heh, what a boastful tone."

Before Long Xingtian could even speak, the Demon Clan's Great Sage and the Demon Court's Great Sage already sneered. (End of Chapter)
