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

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie immediately stepped back, giving up his seat. After all, dealing with someone like the Eastern King involved some risks. The Eastern King was at the fourth level of the Divine Fusion Realm, with a cultivation level similar to Chen Jie's. Moreover, don't forget that he cultivated the Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Technique, making him similar in strength to Chen Jie. Fighting such a person would put Chen Jie at risk of injury, so Chen Jie would try to avoid taking action if possible.

Thinking this, Chen Jie looked at the King of the West and said, "King of the West, please!"

The Western King glanced at Chen Jie, then looked at the Eastern King and said, "Jiang Yuan, will you surrender or let me capture you myself?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan glanced at the King of the West and said, "Heh heh heh... Capture me? How can you, a defeated general, utter such words?"

The King of the West looked at Jiang Yuan and said, "I have a great cause behind me, why should I fear an unjust person like you!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan laughed loudly and said, "Righteousness? What is righteousness? Since ancient times, the victor is king and the loser is villain. What does righteousness have to do with it? If I win, I will have righteousness to uphold. If I lose, no matter how much the heavens say, I am nothing more than a traitor."

"Throughout history, this has always been the case, so your talk of righteousness is simply a joke. I have no righteousness, but you do."

"Enough with the nonsense. I admit I underestimated you today, which led to this passive situation. But you think you can make me submit like this? Let me tell you, you can't. I, Jiang Yuan, am not one to sit idly by and wait for death. Moreover, I am not necessarily going to lose today. I still have the Grand Elder to rely on. Even if the two of you come at me together, you may not be able to win."

"Elder, are you willing to help me overcome this difficult time?"

The Eastern King looked at the Grand Elder and said, "Eastern King, it seems we need to renegotiate the division of our cooperative profits. My share needs to be increased by 10%. What do you think?"

Upon hearing the Grand Elder's words, the Eastern King showed no displeasure; on the contrary, he appeared somewhat relieved.

It's good that he wants things. It only proves that the Grand Elder is greedy and has no intention of rebelling. That's great! You know, what he fears most is that the Grand Elder doesn't want things and isn't greedy. That would make things difficult. It means that the Grand Elder has other plans. Now that he's greedy, it's actually reassuring.

Throughout history, those in power have never been afraid of their subordinates being greedy, because greedy people are easy to control. Take Xiao He from the Han Dynasty, for example. When he was managing the rear, he loved the people like his own children and worked diligently and conscientiously, but Liu Bang suspected him and felt that he had a big problem.

To avoid arousing Liu Bang's suspicion, he had no choice but to smear himself. Not only did he have to ask Liu Bang for large rewards after each task, but he also seized fertile land from the people in the rear. When these "evidence" were placed on Liu Bang's desk, our Emperor Gaozu was not angry at all, but instead breathed a sigh of relief.

He was quite satisfied with Xiao He!
These things sound like myths, but there is great wisdom in them.

At this moment, the Grand Elder asked for a reward, which immediately put the Eastern King at ease. He then said to the Grand Elder, "Alright, I'll give you an extra ten percent for every rebellious minister you defeat."

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder immediately clasped his hands and said, "Thank you, Eastern King. In that case, I can rest assured."

As he spoke, the Grand Elder slowly drew the long sword from his waist. Then, he shook his aura, and the decaying aura that had been emanating from him instantly disappeared.

Following closely behind him was a soaring, sharp aura—the aura of a sword, a powerful aura of a sword.

This elder of the Jiuli tribe also entered the Dao through the sword, and even changed one of the characters in his name to "sword".

Therefore, when that powerful sword aura appeared on his body, the Western King took notice. He had thought that the old man was old, but he did not expect that the sword was still so sharp.

The Eastern King also sensed the terrifying power emanating from the Grand Elder. At this moment, his gaze sharpened, and he said, "Such strong sword energy! The Grand Elder's sword is still sharp as ever."

The Grand Elder: "Hehe, thank you for the praise, Eastern King. I am truly unworthy of it. In that case, let me make the first move!"

The elder roared, and then his long sword shot straight into the sky: "Wild Blade!"

boom!
With a shout, a slash suddenly appeared, the terrifying blade energy soaring into the sky, then fiercely slashing towards the Eastern King. At this moment, the Eastern King, who was leaning against the Grand Elder and had been in a relaxed state, suddenly had a drastic change in expression and exclaimed, "Not good!"

He immediately dodged, but at such a distance, the Grand Elder's strike was still delivered with full force, how could the Eastern King possibly dodge it in time?

At this point, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and unleash his strongest move.

[The Celestial Phenomena of the Four Seasons - The Wrath of the Autumn God!]

Boom! The next moment, a statue of the Goddess Houtu suddenly appeared behind the Eastern King. Immediately afterward, a huge amount of earth-attribute spiritual energy condensed behind him, directly forming a shield. As the shield appeared, the Grand Elder's sword energy had already struck.

The next moment, a loud bang was heard, and the hastily formed shield smashed open instantly. Dong Wang spat out a mouthful of blood and staggered, almost falling over.

A deep knife wound appeared on his back.

"vomit……"

The Eastern King staggered to his feet and vomited a mouthful of blood, which contained small chunks of flesh and blood, whether they were fragments of internal organs or congealed blood. At this moment, the Eastern King's face turned deathly pale.

He glanced at the Grand Elder in disbelief, then immediately fell silent and silently activated the Spring Technique of the Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Art, trying to use his life force to quickly repair the wound. However, at this moment, the Grand Elder slowly walked over and said, "Don't waste your energy. My knife wound is not so easy to repair."

At this moment, the Eastern King looked up at the Grand Elder, his face full of anger, and said, "Li Dao, I have treated you well, why do you treat me like this?"

Seeing the look in the eyes of the Eastern King, the Grand Elder, who had also weathered many storms, said calmly, "Heh...would you believe me if I said I approached you in the first place just for today?"

"you……"

Upon hearing this, the Eastern King's expression changed drastically, and he immediately turned to look at Chen Jiedao: "You, you orchestrated all of this, didn't you?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at the Eastern King and said, "Yes, the entire Jiuli tribe surrendered back then, which was part of the plan. It also included Heng Qing entering the prison. The purpose was actually to find out the location of the Phoenix Seal from the Western King."

Upon hearing this, the Eastern King looked at the Western King and said, "Hehe, I've been wanting to ask about this for a while now. It's perfect timing, let's ask together. Where exactly is your Phoenix Seal hidden? I've searched the entire Imperial City but haven't found a single clue."

"Did you hide it outside the city?"

Upon hearing this, the Western King looked at the Eastern King and laughed, "I... I hid the Phoenix Seal in a place where you can see it every day."

"A place I can see every day?"

The Eastern King looked at the Western King with disbelief. What kind of place was that?
The Western King looked at the Eastern King and laughed, "Your little garden, under that artificial hill!"

A small garden!
The Eastern King was taken aback, then looked at the Western King, and after a long while said with a wry smile, "Old woman, old woman, you really are unfathomable. How could you possibly guess that place?"

The Western King laughed and said, "It's precisely because it's hard to guess that I chose that place. Haha, how about it? You didn't expect this place, did you?"

Upon hearing this, the Eastern King smiled wryly and said, "I never expected this, I never expected that you would win this round!"

The Western King looked at the Eastern King and said, "Hehe, since you admit I've won, can you obediently surrender?"

"Surrender? Cough cough... Western King, do you underestimate me? When have I, Jiang Yuan, ever admitted defeat in my life? Surrender? You're dreaming!" Thinking this, the Western King looked at the Eastern King and said, "With your current physical condition, it's probably difficult for you to fight against me and the Grand Elder."

Upon hearing this, the Eastern King said, "Heh, then even if I die, I'll take a few down with me, won't I?"

With that, the Eastern King's gaze sharpened, and he said, "Let me shine one last time!"

"The Celestial Phenomena of the Four Seasons!"

boom!
With a loud bang, four divine statues suddenly appeared behind the Eastern King: Jumang, the god of spring; Zhurong, the god of summer; Houtu, the god of autumn; and Xuanming, the god of winter.

Up!
With a single command, the four divine statues rose from the ground. Seeing this, the Western King sighed and then raised his hand, saying, "Xuanyuan Technique!"

The Yellow Emperor has appeared!
boom!
The next moment, the Yellow Emperor suddenly appeared, his enormous body holding the Yellow Emperor Sword, and he suddenly blocked the Eastern King's path.

At this moment, the Grand Elder behind him suddenly activated his Heaven and Earth Dharma Form, which summoned a giant. This giant held a large sword, but it was not the Nine Li Demon Art.

He wasn't using the Nine Li Demonic Arts, but rather the demonic art of [Greedy Heaven Demon Blade], used by Li Ju, the second-ranking demon god of the Nine Li tribe and the one who had the best relationship with Chi You among his eighty-one brothers.

At this moment, Li Ju's enormous body was summoned. Although he did not belong to the Human Emperor, he still possessed the powerful ability to roam the world.

You must know that Li Ju's eighty-one brothers were no ordinary people; they were born of heaven and earth, unparalleled demon gods like Chi You.

At this point, they directly surrounded the Eastern King.

At this moment, the Eastern King was at his wit's end. His eyes were bloodshot as he looked around and shouted, "I, Jiang Yuan, have devoted my life to the Immortal Clan. Today I die here, and I do not blame heaven and earth, nor do I blame others. I only blame myself for misjudging people and falling into your treacherous scheme!"

"However, I, Jiang Yuan, have always been fearless in my actions. Come and fight!"

As he spoke, Jiang Yuan suddenly stood up and said, "Old woman, let's have a fight!"

As he spoke, he suddenly attacked the Western King. Upon seeing this, the Western King looked at the Eastern King and said, "Jiang Yuan, it's not too late for you to turn back now. With your achievements, you will not be in any danger."

"Hahaha... If I were afraid of death, I wouldn't have done all this. Let me live, imprison me like a pig or a dog, I can't do it, I can't do it."

"Today, I, Jiang, have no desire to live. You two will fight alongside me to the bitter end."

"Sigh...why bother!"

The Western King sighed, and then could only engage the Eastern King in a fierce battle. Boom, boom, boom...

The intensity of the battle far exceeded what others had imagined; then, boom boom boom...

The intensity of the battle left everyone in awe. The people scattered in panic as the fighting raged on, creating a scene of utter chaos.

boom!
The Eastern King was indeed injured. At this moment, the Western King unleashed a powerful attack, knocking the Eastern King aside. The Eastern King then attacked the Grand Elder again, and the Grand Elder and the Eastern King engaged in a fierce battle.

The Eastern King retreated again due to his injuries.

The battle between the Eastern Kings continued, and the fighting became increasingly intense. Looking at everything before him, Chen Jie's gaze sharpened slightly. He noticed that the Eastern Kings had other intentions besides fighting. Although these intentions were well concealed, Chen Jie still managed to discover them.

At this moment, Chen Jie's gaze sharpened slightly as he looked at Heng Qing standing to the side.

They really are unwilling to admit defeat; even now, they're still thinking about winning against fate.

Chen Jie saw through Dong Wang's intentions and struggled desperately to try and save his life. But this was all an act; his true goal was Heng Qing.

If Ren Feng is killed, he will surely ascend to the position of Immortal Venerable, and thus he will not have lost completely.

Having figured all this out, Chen Jie felt relieved. He then looked at the Eastern King and at Heng Qing, who was not far away and watching the battle.

At this moment, Hengqing was truly serious. Looking at the battle before her, her eyes were filled with excitement. Finally, finally, the chaos was set right. Finally, finally, she had fulfilled her father's entrustment.

Finally, we can save everyone in the Celestial Realm! Finally...

She had a thousand ideas in her mind, but her ultimate thought was that as long as the Eastern King fell from power, everything could be set right.

So she was waiting, waiting for the Eastern King to be captured.

At this moment, the Eastern King was also looking at her, like a cunning fox looking at a silly little white rabbit.

At this moment, the Eastern King was once again sent flying by the Western King's palm strike. However, the Western King's expression changed drastically after this strike, because she did not use her full strength. Theoretically, the Eastern King should not have flown this far, but he flew out directly with this strike, and it seemed as if she did it intentionally.

Moreover, the direction he flew out towards suddenly widened the Western King's eyes. That direction was where Heng Qing was. He actually wanted to undermine her from the very spot!

Thinking of this, the Western King roared, "Jiang Yuan, how dare you!"

Jiang Yuan ignored the West King's curses and insults. He had only one goal in mind: to kill Heng Qing. If he killed Heng Qing, he would lose half the battle. He, Jiang Yuan, had never lost in his life. This time, he would lose at most half the battle!
I, Jiang Yuan, will never lose completely, never!

Thinking this, she saw that he had already arrived above Hengqing. Hengqing only then realized what was happening, and saw Jiang Yuan looking at her and saying, "Hengqing, I'm sorry!"

Having said that, he slammed his palm down.

【Zhurong Divine Fire Palm】

Boom! Suddenly, a giant hand slammed down, its target being Heng Qing. This hand carried terrifying fiery power, engulfing Heng Qing completely. With this strike, Heng Qing would at least be reduced to ashes!
Upon seeing this scene, Heng Qing gasped, her face turning deathly pale.

Not far away, the Western King saw this scene and shouted angrily, "Jiang Yuan, stop!"

As she spoke, she swung her hand and struck out with all her might, aiming straight for Jiang Yuan's back. She had already decided to kill him with this strike.

Jiang Yuan, however, disregarded the power of the palm strike from behind; his only goal at that moment was to kill Heng Qing! (End of Chapter)
