The eldest prince knew very well that with Chu Tianxiao's wisdom, he would definitely see through the key to his enemy's first "change of attitude"...
Therefore, his next counterattack... will definitely be a violent storm!
In this way... How much of the power exposed in the Savage River Basin this time can be recovered
Thirty percent, or... twenty percent
Or, total annihilation
The eldest prince felt bitter at the corner of his mouth. That was part of his family fortune! Even three of his seven personal guards were involved in it. If it was destroyed, even the eldest prince would feel pain!
“… At this point, there is only one way to go.”
The eldest prince was a ruthless and resolute person. He soon changed his mind and said firmly, "Have you got the killing weapon?"
Hearing this, Gong Han hesitated for a moment and said, "It's here."
"… Use it." The eldest prince hesitated for a moment and then made up his mind.
"… Your Highness, I am overstepping my authority. I would like to remind you one last thing… This person is a scourge to the country. The Imperial Master once said that this person has a true destiny and is not someone who is willing to be inferior to others! Back then, by chance, we got in touch with this person and did gain a lot of benefits from it. However, the Imperial Master has warned us that every time this person enters the secret realm, his luck will increase by one point. If we use him repeatedly, it will be like feeding bait to a poisonous insect. One day, we will not be able to control him… And when this person truly grows up, it will also be a catastrophe for the vast land of China…" Gong Han paused and continued, "Back then, Your Highness did not have the full support of the general, and the situation was not as good as it is now. In addition, Lu Xianyuan was aggressive, so we had to borrow this person's "strangeness" to eliminate some obstacles… But Your Highness must know that if you don't want others to know about the affairs of the world, you must not do it yourself. If you do it again and again, it will arouse the suspicion of His Majesty... This matter will never end well. I will say one last thing. The situation is different now. The position of the crown prince has already fallen into the hands of Your Highness... At this juncture, there is really no need for us to take such a risk just to "add icing on the cake"... "
Gong Han lowered his head when he said this: "Your Highness and I have known each other since childhood. I have been trusted by Your Highness and have been supporting him till now. I... really don't want the good situation we have created to be lost because of one person."
These words were spoken with a light but heart-touching emotion. Upon hearing this, the eldest prince hesitated for a long time. He knew that Gong Han was not giving advice as a counselor, but warning him as a... friend.
but…
The eldest prince narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "Gong Han, I know what you mean, but... getting rid of Chu Tianxiao is definitely not the icing on the cake as you said, but a necessity! I have regretted countless times for not killing him at Cuiyan Peak. Now... I must not let this mistake continue..."
"Contact this person! Get rid of Chu Tianxiao!"
When the last word fell, Gong Han heard the irreversible determination in it. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but he had said all he could say... Now that things have come to this, let's execute it.
“Yes.”
After a sound, Gong Han quickly cut off the contact with the eldest prince, but he had just finished this matter and hadn't even taken out the "tortoise shell" when a cold voice suddenly sounded behind him...
"So you put me in the inn because you were afraid that I would hear your comments behind my back?"
After hearing this, Gong Han felt his scalp tingling and turned around quickly, but he only saw a ghostly back. Suddenly, he felt a chill on his neck, and he had been hit by a knife without knowing when!
"How... is it possible?"
Although he had guessed who the person was, Gong Han asked himself if he was an unknown person - although the Xiangguo family mainly studied literature, the best among them were all powerful cultivators - but Gong Han, who was famous for his dual cultivation of wisdom and martial arts, was completely subdued before he could even see his opponent clearly!
"...your strength has increased so dramatically?" Combined with the fact that he was eavesdropped on before but didn't notice anything, Gong Han immediately came to a conclusion that shocked him. For a moment, he couldn't believe it at all!
Thinking back to the past... This man was just a small figure who worked as an assistant in a wealthy family, cleaning vases. He had never practiced cultivation for more than ten years, and his aptitude was extremely poor! With his age and aptitude, according to the common sense of cultivation in the vast land of China, let alone the realm of true cultivation, it would be a blessing to be able to touch the threshold of the initial feeling of cultivation in this lifetime!
But... it was this kind of person who had grown to the point where even Gong Han couldn't defeat him in just half a year!
“Hehe…” The man was very satisfied with Gong Han’s expression. He flashed away from Gong Han’s body, playing with a flying knife in his left hand, and holding a strange object similar to a compass in his right hand. This treasure must be the key for him to reach the Savage River Basin in a short time.
This person is none other than the true emperor of the group-annihilation flow, Yan Leng!
“Sure enough… This person turned into a dragon once he entered the secret realm. To this day, I really don’t know how many secret treasures he has on him…” Because they had cooperated with each other before, Gong Han was surprised by the compass in the visitor’s hand, but he also knew that this person had a way to quickly get to the secret realms that were about to be opened in the world. So he just vaguely guessed and didn’t ask any more questions… After a brief silence, Gong Han went straight to the point: “This time, in the Longhou Secret Realm, you know what to do.”
“… Humph, stop lecturing me in that tone, Gong Han!” Yan Leng snorted coldly, “I am no longer the person who allowed you to manipulate me in the past! Now, you are not even a match for me in one move! Since you need my help, be careful!”
Hearing this, a trace of resentment flashed across Gong Han's eyes. After a pause, he did not dwell on this issue, but said: "It has been confirmed that Xue Yan is the only survivor of the Blood Hand Gang back then..."
After saying this, Yan Leng's eyes darkened, and a hint of murderous intent appeared. After a moment of silence, he said, "The reward you promised to give me..."
"You can take half of it now, but you must remember that in the Longhou Secret Realm, everything can belong to you, except for two things that you must return, otherwise... You don't want to be hated by everyone, do you?" As he said that, Gong Han threw over a Xumi Ring.
Yan Leng took the Xumi Ring and snorted, not making any comment: "Which two things?"
"One is 'Chengtianhoutu', and the other is..." Gong Han's voice was a little mysterious and complicated, but he didn't say anything else. Instead, he took out a painting from his arms...
"This is..." Seeing the painting, Yan Leng's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of brilliance! But before he could make a move, Gong Han waved his hand, and the painting ignited without wind, and instantly turned into smoke and dust and dissipated.
"Do you remember it clearly?"
"... Humph, Lu Xianhui actually wants this thing, how interesting, he is quite ambitious, could it be that he wants..."
