I will settle scores and use violence to shatter the chaos of this world.

Chapter 89 You told me to come out? So here I am! (4900!)

Two hours later.

Chen Xuan's carriage finally arrived at the South City stronghold.

Upon arrival, they saw that the area outside the stronghold was already densely packed with experts from the twelve alliances.

At the head of the group was an elderly man with silver hair and beard, dressed in a brocade robe, with a smile on his face, leaning on a cane that had been polished to a patina, standing at the very front.

"This must be the newly arrived Foreign Minister Chen? I am Han Zhenshan. I have long heard of your illustrious name, and seeing you today, I can confirm that it is indeed well-deserved. Under your leadership, the Southern City will surely achieve even greater glory!"

Han Zhenshan smiled and was very polite.

He was an old man, about to be buried, so naturally he wouldn't want to make enemies with Chen Xuan.

If the transfer of power can be smooth, then the transfer will naturally be safe.

"Senior Han, you're too kind. It's all for the sake of the Alliance."

Chen Xuan smiled and stepped out of the carriage.

"Foreign Minister Chen, please come in quickly. I have already arranged a welcome banquet for you."

Han Zhenshan cupped his hands and smiled.

"Need not!"

Chen Xuan suddenly waved his hand and said calmly, "We can eat later, let's get down to business first."

"Is it serious business?"

Han Zhenshan was taken aback.

"Good, let a few people carry the people out of the carriage first."

Chen Xuan said.

Under Han Zhenshan's suspicious gaze, several gang members immediately rushed out, lifted the carriage curtain, and carried two figures out of the carriage.

To be precise, one was a man with a missing arm covered in blood.

One is a cat demon who is dizzy and dead.

Han Zhenshan's pupils constricted sharply, his heart pounding with alarm. He exclaimed, "Yuan Qing!"

The one-armed man in black robes turned deathly pale. He looked at Han Zhenshan and said with difficulty, "Elder Han, I...we were exposed. Thanks to Envoy Chen for encountering me on the road and saving me..."

"What?"

Han Zhenshan was startled and asked, "What about the others?"

He arranged for several spies to infiltrate Shangguan Fort, and Yuan Qing was one of them.

"They should all be dead."

Yuan Qing said bitterly.

Han Zhenshan swayed violently, as if struck by lightning, his heart filled with both grief and anger.

"Alright, that's enough. Gather all the gang members here now. I'm going to wipe out Shangguan Fort right now!"

""

Chen Xuan spoke without any politeness.

"Purge Shangguan Fortress?"

Han Zhenshan was startled again and quickly looked at Chen Xuan.

"Exactly! These demons killed so many of our allies, thinking they could escape death by hiding in Shangguan Fortress. They're wrong. And this Shangguan Fortress, colluding with demons and harming their own kind, I must wipe them all out, kill them all, leave no one alive. We must act now!"

Chen Xuan said coldly.

"Wait, calm down, you must calm down!"

Han Zhenshan was startled, breaking out in a cold sweat. He quickly advised, "Shangguan Ao, the lord of Shangguan Fortress, is only at the fifth level of the Gang Jin realm. Moreover, there are demons secretly assisting him. You must not act rashly. Besides, there are many people and eyes here, so be careful that the news doesn't leak out... Please consider this carefully. At the very least, we must wait for the Alliance Leader to have some free time..."

He never expected Chen Xuan to be so fierce.

They started by tackling the toughest challenge, Shangguanbao.

Are young people these days really this fierce?

"What's the point of planning? I've thought it through clearly. We need to take action now."

Chen Xuan said in a cold voice.

"Listen to me."

Han Zhenshan, spitting as he spoke, quickly added, "The situation in the southern region is far from stable. Various forces are vying for power, and countless others are secretly watching our Twelve Alliances, hoping to take advantage of the situation."

You've only just taken office; there's no need to pick the toughest one, Shangguan Fort, to take on. If you get hurt by them, wouldn't that be a loss?

Moreover, once you take action, various forces will inevitably stir up trouble.

If someone were to sabotage us from behind the scenes and stab us in the back, we would inevitably be attacked from both sides. In fact, if we were not careful, our stronghold could be attacked, which would make things even more complicated.

"Stabbing me in the back?"

Chen Xuan laughed and said, "That's double happiness. Alright, Senior Han, I understand your good intentions. I'm not a brainless person. Since I dared to take action, I naturally have the confidence to do so. There's no need to say more."

"No, you don't understand the situation in Nancheng at all..."

Han Zhenshan quickly spoke again, saying, "Calm down, please, you must stay calm. We absolutely cannot give other forces the opportunity to attack us..."

"That's enough, Old Deng, stop talking so much!"

Chen Xuan waved his hand dismissively and said coldly, "Your men are almost all killed, and you can still sit here doing nothing. I have to admire you. If this continues, who will dare to follow you?"

"You bring the people, I'll raid the place. It's a simple matter, nothing complicated. Just bring the people now!"

"Gather together, did you understand?"

Chen Xuan's voice sharpened, displaying the authority befitting a foreign affairs envoy.

"you!"

Han Zhenshan's expression shifted, his lips trembled, but in the end he said no more.

That's insane!

This young man is incredibly arrogant!

Yes, it's true that you're at the third level of Gang Jin, but your opponent is at the fifth level. There's a huge gap between them, and besides, your opponent has demons helping them.

That demon is elusive and incredibly powerful. If it were to ambush you from behind, you wouldn't even know how you died.

Why be patient for now?

However, he has now lost real power, so no matter how much he opposes, it will be of no use.

"Alright, alright, if you want to make a move, then go ahead. But can I stay behind and guard the stronghold?"

Han Zhenshan gave a wry smile.

He didn't want to see his stronghold, which he had painstakingly built up over a decade, attacked by various forces in the chaos and turned into flames.

"sure."

Chen Xuan spoke in a calm tone.

He didn't expect the other party to help him this time.

Why don't you just charge in by yourself with your ultimate skill?

Han Zhenshan nodded slightly, said no more, and immediately looked at the group of gang members beside him, saying in a low voice, "You all heard that. Gather all the gang members, leave one-third to guard headquarters, and the rest will immediately follow Foreign Minister Chen!"

"Yes, Elder Han."

A burly middle-aged man nodded in shock.

He then took out a signal flare, lit it, and with a whoosh, a beam of light shot into the sky.

Not long after.

People gathered from all directions; countless members of the gang were rapidly converging.

In the blink of an eye, the entire stronghold was densely packed with gang members.

When they learned that they were going to take action against Shangguan Fort, everyone was shocked and discussed it in disbelief.

"Shut up, all of you. From now on, do whatever Foreign Minister Chen tells you to do. Don't ask any questions or say anything more."

Han Zhenshan snapped out of his wits and turned to look around.

Although he has retired, the pressure he has accumulated over more than a decade is still there.

A sharp shout silenced the crowd instantly; you could hear a pin drop.

Chen Xuan nodded slightly, glanced at Lao Deng again, and showed an approving look.

Old Deng is getting old.

But in terms of interpersonal relationships, they didn't fall behind at all.

With just one word from him, I can save myself the trouble of explaining.

"Zhou Jian, Zhao Fang, step forward!"

Han Zhenshan said again.

Immediately, two burly middle-aged men stepped forward, their faces full of respect.

"Minister Chen, they are two trusted confidants whom I have painstakingly cultivated. If you encounter any problems along the way, you can ask them for advice."

Han Zhenshan said in a complicated manner.

"No problem."

Chen Xuan nodded calmly and ordered, "Set off immediately! Surround Shangguan Fort! Don't let a single fly escape!"

He didn't want to waste a single moment collecting pleasure points.

Everyone sprang into action, forming a dense mass, and rushed toward the location of Shangguan Fort.

For a time, the entire southern part of the city was in chaos.

Countless forces were shocked upon learning the news.

"What did you say? The experts from the Twelve Alliances have gathered?"

"Are the Twelve Alliances moving towards Shangguan Fortress?"

"Are you kidding me? They're going to attack Shangguan Fortress?"

"Old Han has endured so much for so many years, why is he suddenly so restless?"

Shangguanbao direction.

In the spacious backyard.

The lord of Shangguan Fort moved slowly, like an old tortoise, standing in the courtyard, performing a set of soft and gentle boxing techniques. Every move was in harmony with nature, emanating a powerful and unyielding aura.

Just then.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps came from outside.

Shangguan Jie rushed in from outside, his voice filled with anxiety. "Father," he said, "something has happened."

Shangguan Aoru seemed not to hear, and continued to sit slowly.

"Father, something really has happened!"

Shangguan Jie shouted again in a hurry.

Shangguan Ao spoke calmly, his movements unwavering, and said, "You're fine in every way, but you panic easily and your mindset is unstable. You should know that the highest secret of martial arts lies in stillness. Only when you are as still as water can you truly understand your inner self and realize exactly where you're stuck..."

"No, it was the Twelve Alliances that attacked us!"

Shangguan Jie couldn't care less about anything else and shouted anxiously.

"Is that right?"

Shangguan Aoya was startled and stopped abruptly. He looked at Shangguan Jie and said, "Are you talking nonsense?"

"It's true, their experts have already rushed over and have now completely surrounded our fortress."

Shangguan Jie said through gritted teeth.

The Twelve Alliances acted too quickly.

Before they could even react, they were surrounded by experts from all sides.

"Could it be that Mr. Cat and his team suffered a clear defeat?"

Shangguan Ao was surprised and suspicious.

But that's impossible.

How can it be considered a defeat when a few lackeys have already been dealt with?

Even if Ming loses, Han Zhenshan probably wouldn't dare to tear off the mask.

If they really dared to make a move, they would have done it already. Why wait until now?

"Shangguan Ao!"

Suddenly, a sinister and chilling voice rang out from outside.

Two people from the Beijing People's Art Theatre, dressed in black robes and black hoods, their entire bodies wrapped in black cloth, walked in from outside the courtyard. Their faces under the hoods were so dark that they were difficult to see clearly.

They could only feel a sharp gaze, almost tangible, sweeping towards them.

"Mr. Cat..."

Shangguan Ao immediately asked, "What's going on?"

"My daughter has been found!"

The man in black on the left spoke in a low voice.

"Is that right?"

Shangguan Ao's expression changed slightly as he asked, "How could they have disappeared?"

"The person my daughter was in charge of chasing has also disappeared. Only a bloodied arm was left at the scene. If there's no other clue, it must have been taken away by someone... My daughter probably captured him along with that person!"

The man in black continued speaking in a low voice.

"Shangguan Ao, no matter what, you must rescue my daughter!"

A sharp sound came from the black-clad Beijing People's Art Theatre on the right.

It was a woman's voice, filled with resentment and coldness.

"Don't worry, I will definitely investigate thoroughly, but right now I need to deal with the Twelve Alliances' troubles first!"

Shangguan Ao immediately said.

"The Twelve Alliances? I could charge out right now and wipe them all out, not a single one left!"

The female cat demon on the right spoke with sharp resentment.

"No!"

Shangguan Aoya immediately stopped them, saying, "Besides the Twelve Alliances, no one knows you're hiding here. If you really show up, Shangguan Fort will immediately become the target of everyone's attacks. At that time, all the major powers will not let me go. You must hide and never expose yourselves. As for the Twelve Alliances, I will deal with them personally."

"snort!"

The female cat demon let out a cold, heavy snort and said no more.

"Jay, who's leading the Twelve Alliances?"

Shangguan Aoya's expression darkened, and he immediately inquired.

"Father, it's Chen Xuan!"

Shangguan Jie immediately responded, saying, "It's that newly appointed envoy, Chen Xuan! Han Zhenshan didn't come along; he's still guarding the stronghold!"

"It's him!"

Shangguan Ao sneered and said, "Very well, very well, truly a hero emerges from among the young. On his very first day in office, he came straight to my Shangguan Fortress. Does he think my Shangguan Fortress is a place for fools and scoundrels? Originally, I was going to deal with him secretly, but now it seems there's no need for secrecy. I'll break through their encirclement right now and kill this Chen Xuanguang openly and honestly. Let's see who can stop me!"

How dare someone of such lowly strength come here and act so presumptuously!

Even if we kill them decisively, so what?

Are you expecting Luo Hongtian to step in?

With the Bai family constantly watching him, Luo Hongtian knew that any step he took would trigger a chain reaction within the Bai family.

Besides Luo Hongtian, who else could be his opponent?

Qin Wushuang?

Haha, guess who secretly wrote him a letter last night?

Shangguan Ao's lips curled into a mocking smile, his body radiating a powerful aura, his clothes and hair fluttering wildly, and an invisible, terrifying wave emanating from him as he walked towards the mountain gate.

"Jie'er, gather all the disciples and come with me to go out and have a look."

Shangguan Ao's voice was cold and his aura was fierce. Without turning his head, he walked blindly outside and said, "I want to see which of these twelve alliances can stop me!"

"Yes, Father!"

Shangguan Jie immediately responded, his eyes burning with fervor, and rushed out to gather all his confidants and retainers.

This is his father!

Fiery Cloud Palm! Shangguan Ao!

In this small plot of land in the southern city, I have never been afraid of anyone.

"Gather, gather everyone!"

Shangguan Jie shouted sternly.

Boom!

A deep rumble came from outside the mountain gate, accompanied by powerful energy fluctuations.

Shangguan Ao narrowed his eyes, a cold light appearing in them. A powerful and terrifying aura surged from his body, and he accelerated, rushing straight out.

As soon as he rushed out, he saw a dense barrage of arrows, like a torrential rain, raining down on him.

Shangguan Ao waved his sleeve.

boom!

A layer of pure white aura appeared, and in an instant, all the arrows that were shot at it seemed to freeze in place, unable to fall even an inch. Then, with a flick of his sleeve, the thick arrows fell one after another.

A powerful and terrifying surge, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing, emanated from Shangguan Ao's body, surging and turbulent, sending sand and stones flying. This startled the group of Twelve Alliance experts who were firing arrows in front of them, causing them to instinctively retreat blindly.

"Shangguan Ao..."

"Shangguan Ao has arrived..."

17

Shangguan Ao's lips curled into a mocking smile. His clothes fluttered in the wind, and his aura was terrifying. He moved forward step by step, like a thousand troops under one roof, carrying a powerful and terrifying aura.

He stepped forward with the corner of his hand.

The twelve alliance experts who were originally making their move were all retreating rapidly.

It's like a terrifying tiger.

No one dared to speak!

No one dared to step forward!

One man's strength was enough to intimidate all enemies!

"You all clamored to attack my Twelve Alliances, but now that I've emerged, you're all afraid..."

Shangguan Ao sneered! He lifted his sleeve and continued blindly advancing step by step, saying, "What a bunch of pathetic wretches! Where is your new envoy, Chen Waiwei? Tell him to come out and see me!"

"See that? This is the Twelve Alliances!"

Suddenly, Shangguan Jie led a group of experts and retainers from the fortress out, standing behind Shangguan Ao. They laughed loudly and said, "They're nothing but a show of strength on the outside but weakness on the inside. In front of my father, they're nothing. Even that new envoy, Chen Xuan, is too scared to show his face. In a moment, you'd better kill them mercilessly, treat them like dirt, kill them until they feel the pain, kill them until their courage trembles. If anything happens, my father will take full responsibility!"

"The Lord of the Fortress is mighty!"

Many of the retainers and followers shouted loudly, their hearts filled with excitement.

"Come!"

Shangguan Ao, exuding confidence and with his clothes and hair flying, surveyed the group of experts from the twelve alliances before him and said, "Send someone to fight me to the death, and let me see the courage of your twelve alliances!"

boom!

Powerful bursts of internal energy continuously erupted.

All the experts from the twelve alliances were horrified, their colors shifting, and they couldn't help but retreat again.

This old codger is at the fifth level of the罡劲 (罡劲 is a type of internal energy cultivation technique). Who would dare to go up and fight him to the death?

Whoosh!

But at that moment, a fierce wind howled through the mountains and forests, carrying waves of scorching and terrifying energy, whipping up sand and stones like an explosion of flames, causing the tree branches to tremble wildly.

The group of experts from Shangguan Fortress were all different, as if their eyes were covered by sand and dust.

Shangguan Ao narrowed his eyes, and his aura shone even brighter, firmly blocking the gale. He felt that the gale was like a steel knife or a mountain, pressing down on him so much that he could hardly resist it. It was as if an invisible hand was firmly gripping his heart.

In the midst of a blazing, scorching wind.

A burly, imposing figure, surrounded by waves of crimson heat, strode forward, emanating waves of indescribable, immense pressure.

"Shangguan Ao, right?"

A cold voice echoed around, saying, "How dare an old dog that seduces demons bark and howl here!"

"You want a fight to the death? Here I come!"

Quite a few words today, right?

Is it worth a monthly pass?
