Chapter 283: Make Friends
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Su Wen looked at Chu Yiming, who was studying hard, and shook his head slightly
Unlike Chu Yiming, Su Wen was skilled at court politics. How could he not tell that Kaien was deliberately delaying the marriage? If he really wanted to get married, he could just give an order and let a princess marry Chu Yiming!
Who would dare to disobey?
It was obvious that Kaien neither wanted to agree nor refuse.
Hence, he had deliberately instructed the princesses to find an excuse to reject
Chu Yiming.
And over here, Chu Yiming was still wondering if this was his own problem.
This fellow was only obsessed with martial arts and really did not really understand how the court worked.
However, Su Wen did not expose Kaien as well.
To him, as long as he had the chance to stay in Tianyuan City to find Su Su, it was enough. “Alright, take your time and read it. Try to compose a shocking poem as soon as possible. Ill go out for a while.” Su Wen smiled.
With that said, Su Wen stood up and left.
Chu Yiming, who was reading, narrowed his eyes.
After a while, after confirming that Su Wen had indeed left, he threw the book aside. “No! I have to think of a way to escape!” Even though he wanted to regain his pride, he still had to do so.
However, the most important thing in Chu Yiming’s heart was to escape!
However, he knew very well that with his current situation, he would be courting death if he escaped directly.
Therefore, his priority now was to send the news to Chu Xun instead.
In Chu Yiming’s opinion, there was only one person in this team who could help him complete this task!
Huang Qi
Chu Yiming had observed carefully. Those White Demon Tribe members were clearly keeping a respectful distance from him.
As for the bandit groups that joined the teanm later on, they were also inexplicably respectful towards Su Wen.
This was what he could not figure out the most. In the beginning, there were still some people who secretly thought about escaping. However, as time pa.s.sed, when these people mentioned Su Wen again, their eyes began to be filled with reverence.
Only Huang Qi seemed to be in a better state.
Furthermore, Huang Qi was a Heaven Rank expert himself, so it would be better for him to report this matter since he could move faster.
He quickly went to Huang Qi’s room and knocked on the door.
However, after knocking for a long time, there was no response!
Chu Yiming released his divine sense and probed towards the inside of the room for a moment.
He realized that this fellow was not in the room. “Huh? Where did this fellow go?” Chu Yiming was puzzled.
How would he know that on the other side, Huang Qi was drinking in a restaurant in the city.
He looked at the wine gla.s.s in his hand with intoxicated eyes.
He muttered, “That fellow, Old Chu, is clearly being controlled by Su Daqiang and wants me to senda message to him. Do you really think I can’t tell? But sending a message is too risky. That Su Daqiang’s cultivation is extremely high.
If he finds out that I’ve escaped, he’ll catch up to me and crush me to death with a finger. Do you really think I’m ignorant? It’s better to hide so that I don’t have to speak!”
Huang Qi gave his wine gla.s.s another swirl, before downing it in one gulp.
Those who could ascend to the Heaven Ranlk were naturally not fools.
Along the way, Huangi roughly understood what was going on.
He had sensed that something was wrong when Chu Yiming had wanted to give him the Demon Stone, so he had immediately refused it and ran avway.
To him, he only wanted to live.
Meanwhile, Su Wen left the station and pondered as he walked. This Long Kun was one of the 9th Grade Heaven Ranks of the Heavenly Fiend tribe, and his combat strength was incomparably formidable.
His position was high and mighty. As for his son..
It was not easy to investigate.
At this point, Su Wen could only rely on himself.
It was enough for his subordinates to scout for information, but to ask them to carry out an investigation, they were far from it.
How to investigate this matter was also quite the th.o.r.n.y problem.
Since the other party was not familiar with Su Wen, he could not just go up and ask directhy. It would be strange if they did not fight over this! He had to think of a way to get to know the general first.
Compared to his father Long Kun, Long s.h.i.+’s cultivation level was a little weaker, but he was still a 6th Grade Heaven Rank cultivator.
Even in the Heavenly Fiend Tribe, this strength could be said to be in the upper echelons.
At this moment, there were two girls sitting in front of Long s.h.i.+.
They were precisely the women from the Succubus Tribe that he had brought back.
The older one had exquisite facial features, willowy eyebrows, big eyes, and fair skin. She was extremely beautiful.
As for the younger one, her facial features were somewhat similar to the older one, but she radiated youth instead of a sultry maturity.
Long s.h.i.+ looked at the two people in front of him and chuckled. “No one noticed us entering the city this time. That’s good. Senior Yu, my father has already convinced His Majesty to transfer General Riser to the Denmonic Tribe’s front line guard trading channel. After transferring him away, the two of you will work together to a.s.sa.s.sinate His Majesty. My father will then seize the throne.
He has already said that after the registration, he is willing to transfer all the northern territories of the Heavenly Fiend Tribe to your Succubus Race.
Moreover, my father will issue strict orders to prohibit anyone from hunting them ever again.”
The older woman nodded. Her name was Yu Suqing, a 9th Grade Heaven Rank cultivator.
In reality, while the features of the Succubus ‘Tribe were beautiful, it also gave them a lot of trouble.
Especially in the Demon Realm, where the law of the strong ruled.
The life of the entire Succubus Race was not a pleasant one.
Many demons would specialize in capturing the Succubus Tribe and sell them for benefits.
Even for Yu Suqing, the strongest expert of the Succubus Tribe, While her cultivation might allow her to be considered an expert of an area…
However, in the face of the entire Succubus Tribe, she could not protect them forever.
The overall strength of the Succubus Tribe was insufficient. She could not protect her people at all times.
The condition Long Kun gave her was that they would give her a vast territory, and at the same time, help to restrain the other demons.
In Yu Suqing’s opinion, this condition was not bad!
The Demon Realm was huge,so it was not difficult for her to occupy a place.
However, building a country was another matter altogether.
Currently, there were many scattered forces in the Demon Race.
No one cared about small-scale gatherings.
However, if they really wanted to create a large-scale city or kingdom, it had to be within the territory of the three major tribes.
Without the approval of the three great clans, they would definitely be targeted by all of them.
And the only ones she had the qualifications to negotiate was with the
Heavenly Fiend Tribe who had yet to have someone in the Saint Rank.
But even if she worked for Kaien, he probably wouldn’t agree to her terms.
From Kaien’s point of view, the Heavenly Fiend Tribe lacked Saint Rank experts, not 9th Grade Heaven Rank experts.
Hence, she had sought out the Long Kun duo instead.
This time, when the time was ripe, she specially entered Tianyuan City.
In order to hide their ident.i.ties, they even brought along a junior girl from the
Succubus Tribe. The two of them announced to the public that they were the concubines of Long Kun’s son, Long s.h.i.+.
So far, the plan had been going smoothly.
Kaien didn’t sense anything wrong. In fact, he already had the intention of transferring another 9th Grade Heaven Rank out of the capital
Be it the human world or the Demon Realm, there was never a lack of ambitious people.
When one’s position reached a certain point, they would naturally have to ponder how to take another step forward.
In reality, this whole matter started from Su Wen.
Although Long Kun was an ambitious person, he had never planned to usurp the throne so quickly.
He still wanted to focus on cultivating and breaking through to the Saint Rank so that he could ascend to a higher tier.
Only then would his success be guaranteed.
But now that the human and demon worlds were transacting, as the supreme existence of the Heavenly Fiends, Kaien naturally obtained the most blessings from the heavens and earth.
In other words, under normal circ.u.mstances, Kaien would be the first to break through to Saint Rank.
This gave Long Kun an extremely great sense of urgency. Moreover, the later he took action, the higher the possibility of this happening. The difference in their combat strength might also widen.
It was precisely because of this that Long Kun could no longer sit still, preparing to seize the throne as soon as possible.
Seizing the throne of the Heavenly Fiend tribe also represented more Blessings of Heaven and Earth.
As Long s.h.i.+ looked at the woman in front of him, he couldn’t help but sneer in his heart.
How beautiful!
Unfortunately, her cultivation level was too high! He could not swallow it!
However, once the Long Kun broke through to the Saint Rank, it was likely that the agreement between the two of them would be revised.
However, in the short term, both sides were still allies.
As the two of them were talking.
Suddenly, someone came in to report. “Lord, there’s a fellow outside the door who claims to be the Demonic Tribe’s envoy, Su Daqiang! He came to seek an audience!”
Long s.h.i.+ was stunned. Su Daqiang?
Why was that guy looking for him?
He turned his gaze to Yu Suqing and said, “Senior Yu, please retreat first. Il see what this fellow is doing first. As long as we transfer Riser away, my father will find an opportunity to let His Majesty be alone. That will be the time for us to make a move!”
Yu Suqing nodded and said, “Alright!”
She was still very patient.
Or rather, for such a major event, one had to be patient.
Even though she was a 9th Grade Heaven Rank cultivator, if there were enough 8th Grade Heaven Rank experts around Kaien to stall her for time, the outcome of the battle would be left unknown.
After Yu Suqing left, Su Wen entered.
Long s.h.i.+ went straight to the point. “May I know why Lord Su is here?”
Su Wen laughed loudly and said, “Ive long heard that the Long father and son are the pillars of the Heavenly Fiend tribe. Today, I wish to get to know Young
Master Long and make friends with him. Young Master Long won’t dislike me, right?”
Long s.h.i.+ frowned in response. What was this brat trying to do?
Long s.h.i.+ pondered for a moment before replying with an arrogant expression. “Tm sory, Lord Su, I don’t make friends casually!”
He did not want to have anything to do with Su Wen.
Su Wen pretended not to notice his tone, instead replying with a smile. “What a coincidence. There’s no one that I can’t befriend!” ??
Why did it sound a little funny?
Long s.h.i.+ looked at Su Wen and said coldly, “Lord Su, I’nma martial artist. As long as you’re a friend, you have to at least spar with me. Otherwise, there’s no need to negotiate.”
Su Wen smiled. “What a coincidence. I like to practice martial arts with others.
His Highness Chu Yiming is very happy every time he practices martial arts with me!”
Long s.h.i.+ had never expected this fellow to be so confident.
He really could not tell Su Wen’s cultivation level as well!
Narrowing his eyes, he probed “Then let’s go spar?” “So be it!” Su Wen was not afraid of exposing his cultivation.
As the Demonic Tribe’s envoy, having some strength was nothing.
However, some methods still had to be used cautiously.
Long s.h.i.+ did not expect Su Wen to really agree.
Then come with me.”
As he spoke, they went to the courtyard.
He stood up and flew up with Su Wen following closely behind.
Both sides flew into the sky, separating as they flew in a certain direction.
By the time the two of them returned, Long s.h.i.+’s att.i.tude towards Su Wen had changed drastically. “Brother Su, your sword technique is so powerful!” He could not help but praise
Su Wen smiled and said, “That’s nothing. My Majesty’s sword techniques are even more outstanding”
Long s.h.i.+ looked at Su Wen’s smile before he gave an apologetic smile.
When the two of them exchanged blows just now, he was almost completely suppressed.
Furthermore, Su Wen had not even activated his domain just now. This made
Long s.h.i.+ a little dumbfounded. From the looks of it, Su Wen’s strength was at least at the 7th or even 8th Grade of Heaven Rank!
Such powerful combat strength could be considered a top figure even in the
Heavenly Fiend tribe.
It was an extremely rare battle prowess.
As they went back to the hall, Long s.h.i.+ prepared a banquet
He ate, drank, and had fun with Su Wen.
He had acknowledged Su Wen.
The two of them drank until midnight. They talked about everything and became much more familiar with each other.
Finally, Su Wen left.
After Long s.h.i.+ watched him leave, he went straight to see his father, the general of the Heavenly Fiend Tribe, Long Kun!
Father and son met, and Long s.h.i.+ honestly recounted everything about Su
Wen.
Then, he said, “General Father, this Su Daqiang is extremely powerful. He completely suppresses me. He must be at least at the 7th or 8th Grade of
Heaven Rank. If we can rope him, he might even be able to influence the situation.”
Long Kun nodded before sighing, “I didn’t expect this fellow to have such a cultivation level. He has a Qi Concealment Spiritual Artifact on him as well! I really couldn’t see his cultivation level in the previous court session.” “Then what do you think I should do?”
Long Kun frowned. “It doesn’t matter how you do it. The main thing is that I don’t understand why this fellow wants to nmake friends with you. He must have a motive. Could it be that… our plan has been exposed?”
Long s.h.i.+ was shocked. “That can’t bel”
Long Kun only sneered, “Can’t? Why can’t it happen? Do you know what the
Demonic Tribe’s envoys did after entering the city?” “What did he do?” “They have been investigating the two Succubus Tribe nmembers!” ILong Kun continued.” There are always people monitoring the movements of the Succubi.
Why do you think they want to investigate the Succubus Tribe? What is there to investigate about the two of them?
Long s.h.i.+’s expression turned ugly. “Then if our plan is exposed, won’t something big happen?”
To his surprise, Long Kun shook his head. “Don’t worry, I’ve already tidied up our rear. His Majesty won’t know!”
He said ina low voice, “Yu Suqing’s matter can’t be known by others. Once His
Majesty finds out, it will definitely arouse his vigilance. As for this Demonic
Tribe’s diplomatic mission, in my opinion, it’s a lie to say that they’re in a relations.h.i.+p with him, I’m afraid that in their hearts, they still want to find an opportunity for my Heavenly Fiend tribe to be of use to him.
Otherwise, they might know something and want to take the opportunity to expose the matter so that Kaien can be on guard and cause internal strife in my
Heavenly Fiend tribe! And they’ll sit back and watch the tigers fight.”
The more Long s.h.i.+ thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. He said in admiration, “Father, you are so insightful. I never expected this. Then what should we do now?
Long Kun’s gaze darkened! “Kill! Think of a way to kill this person! Reduce the variables! However, this matter has to be done carefully. We can’t arouse His Majesty’s suspicion. In fact, we have to think of a way to let His Majesty do this.”
Long s.h.i.+ hesitated. “If we kill this person, I’m afraid we’ll completely offend
Chu Xun!
Long Kun coldly remarked, “There’s no need to be afraid of him! As long as we don’t kill Chu Yiming and have a reasonable excuse to kill Su Daqiang, even if
Chu Xun wants to make things difficult for us, the Evil Fiends won’t watch us be exterminated!
As long as I ascend to the throne as the Heavenly Fiend’s royal family, I can accept losing some benefits. Once I have enough Blessing of the heavens and earth, once I break through to the Saint Rank, I will take back everythingI lost!”
