Wife, you didn't really drug me, did you?

"To work together on important matters, with you?"

The Western King said with disdain, "I will not make deals with any arrogant person, especially not you."

Li Siqi looked at the Western King and said, "Why bother? Your Kunlun Immortal Realm has been guarding this place for thousands of years, but after a few years, you only have a thousand or so people left. Look at the outside world, how vast its territory is. As long as you join forces with me, we can march out of Kunlun. If I gain control of the world, I am willing to share the world with you."

Hope scoffed at these words and said, "My Kunlun Immortal Clan is ordered by the Human Emperor to protect the sacred land of Kunlun. Without the Human Emperor's order, we will never allow ourselves to step out of this place."

"The Eastern King doesn't understand this principle, but I can't afford not to."

Hope was saying this when Li Siqi looked at the King of the West and said, "It seems you can't reason with me?"

The Western King said, "It's definitely not going to work, so don't waste your energy."

Li Siqi shook his head and said, "Hahaha, no matter how much you try to stop it, you can't stop Kunlun from sending troops. If you don't stop, the Eastern King will, and if you don't stop, the new Immortal Venerable will."

Li Siqi said, "You just stay in this cage and wait to see us rule the world. I hope you still think you're right then."

After saying that, Li Siqi waved his hand and said, "Surround the Heavenly Prison completely, and don't let even a fly get in."

"Yes!"

The soldiers responded immediately, and the prison was immediately reinforced. King Ji Yun of the West closed his eyes. At this moment, a person in a nearby cell whispered, "King Ji Yun of the West, King Ji Yun of the West."

The Queen turned around and saw her personal guards. At this moment, the guards said, "I just heard them say that it seems that the Little Immortal Venerable has returned, and he has brought helpers with him."

"Do you think the Little Immortal Venerable might actually have brought Master Zhang back?"

The guard asked in a low voice. Upon hearing this, the Western King shook his head and said, "Don't dream. If Master Zhang really came, Hengqing would have already come to pick us up. Now that Hengqing has returned, she is hiding and dodging. It is obvious that she failed to invite Master Zhang and came back on her own, risking her life."

Upon hearing this, the guard lowered his head and said, "Wouldn't that be very dangerous?"

Hope kept her eyes closed and didn't speak. She and her guards also sighed. It was all over. They had thought that Hengqing could invite Master Zhang. If she could really invite Master Zhang, things would be much simpler. Who would have thought that she couldn't invite Master Zhang back at all?

Without Zhang Zhenren, what will they do?

Thinking this way, everyone felt a mix of emotions. Many people were pessimistic and thought it was all over, completely over, while some quietly began to consider surrendering.

We are all compatriots, why fight to the death?
Thinking this way, some people had wicked ideas and wanted to surrender to Li Siqi. Li Siqi naturally liked these traitors very much, but now that they wanted to turn against him, Li Siqi would not accept it easily. So Li Siqi gave this person a task.

"Go and find the phoenix seal in the hands of the Western King. Once you find the phoenix seal, not only will you be pardoned, but you will also be promoted and rise through the ranks to become the Eastern King's confidant."

The man took these words to heart and went back to subtly inquire about the location of the Phoenix Seal, hoping that the Western King would reveal it.

The Phoenix Seal is currently known to be neither on the Western King nor in his residence, so a group of people are searching for its whereabouts.
The Western King, however, kept his mouth shut and turned a blind eye to the affairs of the outside world.

Meanwhile, Chen Jie and Heng Qing were also in a difficult situation. After fighting their way out of Yingxian Valley, they arrived at the Human Emperor City, which was the only city in the entire Kunlun Immortal Realm. Outside the city was the Chaotic Forest.

The forest is often inhabited by powerful beasts, so the people in the city rarely leave the city.

Chen Jie and his group also infiltrated the Human Emperor City. As soon as they arrived, Chen Jie discovered that the city was under complete martial law, with soldiers patrolling everywhere, ready to arrest him.

Chen Jie looked at Heng Qing and asked, "Where are we going?"

Upon hearing this, Heng Qing said, "Let's go to the West Prince's residence first."

Chen Jie and Heng Qing disguised themselves and prepared to sneak into the West King's Mansion. When they arrived, they found that the place had already been searched and the East King's seal was affixed to the door, making it impossible to enter.

Chen Jie and Heng Qing searched the area but couldn't find a single familiar face. It was clear that the West Prince's Mansion was deserted. So they searched everywhere and eventually, through some subtle questioning, they obtained a piece of information.

After Hengqing escaped, the Western King and the Eastern King fought a great battle. The two were evenly matched and fought fiercely. However, at the most critical moment, a stranger suddenly appeared, wielding Chi You's demonic weapon, the Tiger Soul Blade, and joined forces with the Eastern King to defeat the Western King.

The Western King suffered a crushing defeat and was immediately imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison by the Eastern King. All of the Western King's confidants were also imprisoned with him. Now, it can be said that the Western King has no confidants left in the entire city. And with the Western King's confidants gone, it means that Heng Qing has no confidants left. Heng Qing has suddenly become a commander without any troops.

Heng Qing was so anxious she almost cried, looking at Chen Jie and saying, "Brother Chen, what should I do?"

After listening to Heng Qing's words, Chen Jie thought for a moment and said, "I just inquired and found out that the Western King is imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison. Our best option now is to go to the Heavenly Prison to rescue the Western King. However, we have already alerted him. The intelligence we just received said that just now, that outsider led a hundred guards to strengthen the Western King's guard."

“I recognize that outsider. He is the King of Qi of the Mulan people, known as the God of Knives. Moreover, judging from his ability to intervene in the battle between the Eastern King and the Western King and ultimately help the Eastern King win, his strength should have reached the fourth level of the Fusion God.”

"So even if we force our way into the prison now, we won't gain anything and will likely end in failure. It would be like walking into a trap, like lambs to the slaughter."

As Chen explained, Heng Qing looked at him and asked, "Brother Chen, what do you mean?"

Chen Jie said, "I need to improve my strength first, then I'll figure out a way. Where is the complete Four Seasons Celestial Phenomena Manual?"

After hearing this, Heng Qing remained silent for a moment and then said, "Brother Chen, you probably won't be able to get the complete Four Seasons Celestial Phenomena Manual now."

"Ok?"

Chen Jie frowned slightly upon hearing this, and Heng Qing said, "Brother Chen, listen to me. The secret manual is hidden in the Lin Yuan Pavilion in the north of the city, but to enter the Lin Yuan Pavilion, you need either the Dragon Seal of the Eastern King or the Phoenix Seal of the Western King. Now that the Western King is trapped, we can't get the Phoenix Seal. How can we enter the Lin Yuan Pavilion and learn the Four Seasons Celestial Phenomena Technique?"

Chen Jie was also at a loss after hearing what Heng Qing said; he had gone from being single-minded to being caught between two difficult choices.

Chen Jie wants to learn the Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Technique to try to advance his cultivation level, but he can't open the Lin Yuan Pavilion without the Phoenix Seal. To get the Phoenix Seal, he needs to rescue the Western King, but the Western King has been captured. Without Chen Jie entering the fourth stage of the Melting God realm, it will be difficult to rescue the Western King.

This creates a vicious cycle.

Chen Jie was at a loss for a moment; he had truly gone from being single-minded to being stuck on two ends.

Thinking this, Hengqing looked at Chen Jie and asked, "Brother Chen, what do we do now?"

Chen Jie thought for a moment and said, "Heng Qing, if you want to regain your position, you need someone to help you. Now that the Western King and her confidants have been arrested, do you have any other outside help?"

After hearing this, Heng Qing thought for a moment and then said, "Yes, but..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Why are you being so indecisive at a time like this?"

Heng Qing said, "They are not from the city; they are criminals from within the Immortal Realm." "Criminals?"

Chen Jie looked at Heng Qing with slight surprise and asked, "The Sinners are actually a tribe that split off from the Immortal Clan. Among them, the Jiuli people are considered sinners."

"Although the three emperors of China intermarried, the Jiuli tribe, as a defeated tribe, was always marginalized in the power center of the immortals. Therefore, in the fourth generation, the core members of the Jiuli tribe led two hundred people away from the Human Emperor City and went to live in the chaotic forest outside the city."

"Therefore they are called sinners by us, and they do not associate with one another."

"However, in the previous generation, my father, the old immortal, had a life-or-death friendship with their old patriarch, so the friendship between our two clans has become even stronger over the years. I am good friends with their young patriarch, and we lived together for five or six years."

“My father made an agreement with his old clan chief that when I grew up, he would let me marry their young clan chief, so that our two clans could be united again in the future and become one.”

"So if all else fails, I can ask them for help."

Suddenly, Hengqing remembered that she was betrothed as a child.

After listening to Heng Qing's explanation, Chen Jie's gaze slowly became focused. After thinking for a moment, he said, "That is indeed a solution."

Thinking this, he said, "Then we shouldn't delay. Let's leave here now and go to the Chaotic Forest to find your fiancé."

Hengqing said, "Don't talk nonsense, I haven't agreed to marry him yet."

Chen Jie looked at Heng Qing and said, "The fiancé you just mentioned."

Heng Qing remained silent, but Chen Jie could tell that Heng Qing seemed to quite like the young clan leader.

With this in mind, Chen Jie and Heng Qing dared not delay and headed straight for the chaotic forest.

The so-called chaotic forest is a dense forest in the Kunlun Wonderland. Chen Jie initially thought that the forest was not deep, but after going deeper, he realized that the forest was terrifyingly deep.

And so, Chen Jie and Heng Qing traversed directly through the dense forest.

It was through this journey that Chen Jie encountered the terrifying beasts lurking in the dense forest.

There were giant snakes over ten meters long, brown bears four or five meters tall, and saber-toothed tigers that Chen Jie felt were extinct.

Chen Jie and Heng Qing cautiously traversed the forest, not wanting to waste time with these ferocious beasts. However, an unexpected incident occurred somewhere in the forest. As soon as Chen Jie and Heng Qing passed through this area, they were spotted by a pack of wolves.

The leader was a white wolf, three or four meters tall, with snow-white mane.

It led its pack of wolves to immediately target Chen Jie and his companion, and launched a frenzied attack.

Chen Jie could actually fight them, but there was no need to waste his energy, so he quickly fled with Heng Qing. The two fled for an unknown amount of time, and the wolf pack followed in pursuit.

Just as the wolf pack was about to catch up with the two, they suddenly heard a whooshing sound.

With a whoosh, an arrow flew through the air and shot directly at the white wolf.

When the white wolf saw the arrow coming, it suddenly spat out a wind blade, which shattered the arrow with a whoosh.

Immediately following was a furious shout: "You beast!"

The next moment, a group of people appeared in the forest. These people were dressed in animal skins, carrying bows and arrows. They were all strong and powerful, giving off a rugged and savage aura.

The leader was a boy of about fourteen years old, with a muscular body and a wild charm in his youthful face.

At this moment, he drew his bow again and fired three arrows in quick succession, each aimed at the white wolf. The white wolf nimbly dodged the first two arrows but was wounded by the third arrow and turned to run away.

Seeing this, Chen Jie instantly flashed in front of a man wearing animal skins, grabbed the spear in his hand, and threw it violently. The spear, carrying the sound of wind breaking, hit the white wolf and pinned it to the ground with a loud bang.

"Good means."

Just then, the fourteen-year-old boy shouted in agreement, praising loudly. Immediately afterward, a group of people rushed forward and killed most of the wolves.

After they had killed enough, the boy dragged the white wolf to Chen Jie and said, "You killed this wolf, so it's yours."

Chen Jie looked at the white wolf in front of him. It was definitely a rare species from the primordial era. Chen Jie estimated that its strength was around the Furnace Realm. It was the strongest beast Chen Jie had ever seen, much stronger than his white tiger.

Chen Jie looked at the white wolf and said, "You shot and wounded it first, so I had a chance. This wolf should belong to you."

“Hey… I, Li Fang, don’t do such things. Whoever hunts the prey owns it. That’s the rule.”

"By the way, you two look unfamiliar. Are you from the Immortal Clan?"

The boy looked Chen Jie up and down and Heng Qing beside him. Heng Qing then took off the human skin mask from her face and said to Li Fang, "Brother Li Fang, it's me!"

Li Fang was taken aback at first, but when he saw Heng Qing's face, he exclaimed with delight, "Oh, Qing'er, what brings you here?"

Li Fang said, "Let's go, let's hurry to the village. The last time I saw you was a year ago. By the way, I heard you became a minor immortal. Are you doing well?"

Li Fang was incredibly enthusiastic towards Heng Qing, and Heng Qing then spoke up, "Brother Li Fang, I've come here to ask you for a favor."

"What's this talk about begging? Your business is my business. Let's go... let's talk about it when we get back to the village."

As he spoke, Li Fang led Heng Qing directly back to the mountain stronghold. This stronghold was built deep in the dense forest, surrounded by a wooden fence. There were some houses in the center, and behind it seemed that a large amount of farmland had been cultivated, with some livestock being raised. It looked very well-organized.

Li Fang then invited Heng Qing into the hall, instructed his subordinates to prepare food and drink, inquired about her well-being, and then got down to business: "Sister Qing'er, what do you need my help with?"

Upon hearing this, Hengqing looked at Li Fang and said, "Brother Li Fang, you have to save me! The Eastern King has rebelled!"

Hengqing explained the matter in detail and then expressed her hope that Li Fang would help her. Upon hearing this, Li Fang slammed his hand on the table and said, "How dare the Eastern King commit such an act of insubordination! I will stand up for you in this matter. Men, muster the troops and let's go to the Human Emperor City. I want to see what that old scoundrel Jiang Yuan is up to."

Lebanon has a fiery temper; he's easily provoked.

Just as he was about to muster his men and enter the city to stand up for Hengqing, a voice rang out: "Who gave you permission to bring your people into the city?" (End of Chapter)
