Eternal Saber

Murong Daoye’s gaze was as sharp as a torch, staring at Chen Tang for a long moment. Seeing that the other party showed no fear, he couldn’t help but feel a bit of admiration in his heart.

However, he said nothing, and the brilliance in his eyes gradually faded away. The pressure and hostility he had released earlier also dissipated in an instant.

"Please sit, Elder."

Chen Tang exhaled lightly and slightly turned his body.

"You have quite the audacity to dare to run to the Daqian Capital."

Murong Daoye said flatly, "If there’s something to discuss, say it standing."

Chen Tang wasted no words and said directly, "Junior wishes to ask Elder Murong to leave the Daqian Capital during the autumn."

"Why?"

Muron Daoye asked.

Chen Tang said, "Because I plan to raid the Celestial Prison."

Muron Daoye’s mouth twitched slightly.

What kind of paths are these young people taking nowadays?

Is that something one should say?

Changsun Ming and Murong Haitang were taken aback, sweating profusely.

Although they knew Chen Tang’s plan, there was no need to be so direct about it, right?

Chen Tang had already thought it through before coming.

Since he needed something from Murong, Chen Tang didn’t plan to beat around the bush, focusing on being open and honest...

With the First War God’s experience in Daqian, his intentions might not be concealed.

If revealed, it might backfire instead.

The sudden words from Chen Tang left Murong Daoye somewhat bewildered, so he simply remained silent.

Chen Tang said, "By then, there will surely be great chaos in the Capital City. Daqian might fall apart because of it, and Elder could take advantage of the situation to stand on your own, plotting a restoration of the country. Neither the Daqian Court nor the Profound Celestial Sect would have the energy to entangle with you."

"Take advantage of the situation to stand on my own and plot a restoration?"

Murong Daoye asked, "Who told you that?"

Chen Tang said, "Did you not release the Emperor Wu’s son, allowing them to gather the remnants of the previous dynasty in the Yan State, raising bandits to bolster your position, all for this day? The chaos in the Capital City is the best opportunity."

"How dare you!"

Murong Daoye shouted loudly, his face suddenly changed, and he suddenly punched towards Chen Tang’s chest.

The punch came too quickly and fiercely!

Chen Tang could hardly react and could only instinctively raise his arms, circulate his Innate True Qi, and release his Body Radiance.

Bang!

An array of Purple Gold Divine Light burst forth from Chen Tang’s body, but in the next moment, Murong Daoye’s fist already struck his arms, instantly sending him flying away!

Crack!

Chen Tang smashed through the stone table and stools behind him but soon stood up.

"Brother Chen!"

Changsun Ming was shocked and hurried forward.

"I’m fine, Elder Murong was just testing my skills."

Before Chen Tang could fully transform, he dissipated his Body Radiance, stood up, and waved his hand.

Murong Daoye, after delivering one punch without a follow-up move, meant he had no intent to kill.

Moreover, just now, that punch from Murong Daoye was obviously not his full strength.

Even so, he still felt his arms go numb, almost losing sensation.

The power of a Grandmaster of the Transformation Realm is too strong for him to contend with.

"The Demon Monarch of Xiling is you."

Murong Daoye stared at Chen Tang and said, nodding slowly, "No wonder."

Recently, the Demon Monarch of Xiling had become quite famous with two battles in Liangzhou City and the Black Water Country. Naturally, he had heard about it too.

However, the emergence of this Xiling Demon Venerable was somewhat strange, as if suddenly appearing out of nowhere.

Moreover, these two major battles seemed to lack any pattern.

One was helping Liangzhou City defeat the barbarians.

The other battle involved rushing to the Black Water Country, where he wreaked havoc and even killed the Black Water King in their Capital.

This style of operation indeed resembled the Demon Sect, with no regard for consequences.

Earlier, when Changsun Ming and Murong Haitang came looking for him, he was pondering what kind of grandmaster experts these two could know.

When Chen Tang released the ’Vajra’s Wrathful Gaze,’ Murong Daoye thought of a possibility.

Legend had it that the Demon Monarch of Xiling mastered the Vajra Indestructible Body.

Besides, during the Battle of Liangzhou, Changsun Ming and Murong Haitang should have also been there.

Perhaps the two of them knew the Demon Monarch of Xiling!

Along with Chen Tang’s sudden visit today, Murong Daoye found an excuse to suddenly turn hostile, making a move to test him.

It took just one move for him to guess Chen Tang’s identity.

"Elder’s keen eyes are like torches."

Chen Tang had no intention of hiding it and smiled slightly.

Murong Daoye asked, "No wonder you dare to meet with me. Aren’t you afraid I’ll capture you now and claim the reward in the Capital?"

"Elder is not that kind of person."

Chen Tang said, "After the Battle of Xiajiang, when the Emperor Wu was seriously injured, it was Elder who escorted him back to the Capital all the way. Although you left afterwards, you didn’t raise arms against him."

Words like ’keen eyes like torches’ cannot sway Murong Daoye.

However, Chen Tang’s previous words seemed to stir something in him, as if it triggered a memory.

Chen Tang added, "If it were Yuwen Mao, I wouldn’t dare to be so candid."

Murong Daoye snorted coldly, flapping his sleeves, "Yuwen Mao is nothing, ungrateful, betraying his former master, unworthy of being compared to me!"

After saying this, Murong Daoye remained silent for a long time, then suddenly sighed deeply, looked at Chen Tang with a complex expression, and asked, "Is it true that His Majesty didn’t die?"

Chen Tang said, "He was still alive a few years ago."

This matter had already spread, so there was no need to conceal it.

Furthermore, Little White Ape once said that after Emperor Wu left, several people visited the Three Thousand Snow Ridges.

Chen Tang suspected the Murong Daoye in front of him might be one of them.

"What about now?"

"I don’t know."

"Has His Majesty been residing in the Three Thousand Snow Ridges all these years?"

"Have you been there, Elder?"

Murong Daoye remained silent.

After a long time, he finally said slowly, "Soon, I will file a report, traveling to Yan State in the name of eradicating the remnants of the previous dynasty."

"Thank you, Elder, for making this possible."

Chen Tang cupped his hands and bowed.

"No need to rush your thanks."

Murong Daoye said flatly, "Even if I go to Yan State, the Daqian Capital City remains a haven of hidden and crouching dragons, with experts as numerous as clouds. To raid the Celestial Prison is akin to courting death."

"Thank you for the reminder, Elder."

Chen Tang smiled slightly.

Murong Daoye turned to leave, paused mid-step, and suddenly said, "A piece of advice: besides the Profound Celestial Sect Leader, there might be a second Grandmaster in the Capital."

"Hmm?"

Chen Tang’s expression changed, frowning slightly, and he hurriedly asked, "Who is it?"

But Murong Daoye did not answer.

"Could it be Yuwen Mao?"

Chen Tang was quick to respond, asking again.

Murong Daoye’s figure had already vanished into the night, leaving no trace.

Chen Tang seemed to be deep in thought.

If it truly is Yuwen Mao, then it would make sense.

After all, at the time of the Wu Dynasty’s downfall, Yuwen Mao was already a grandmaster expert.

So many years have passed, he indeed has the hope of entering the Transformation Realm.

After Murong Daoye left, others from the room, including Lu Qing and Mei Yingxue, finally emerged one after the other.

"Qingcheng!"

"Amazing!"

Lu Qing and Changsun Ming were both extremely delighted to meet again.

After a casual chat, Changsun Ming asked, "With an additional Grandmaster of the Transformation Realm, what should we do?"

"We will proceed according to the original plan."

Chen Tang pondered, "However, I need to write a letter and send it out. In Nanxia, do you still have any people there?"

"Yes!"

Changsun Ming nodded.
