127: Thank you so much, Gu Qingcheng!
"What's more, if several of us team up, the Danger Zone won't be much of a threat!"
"This is simply killing two birds with one stone!"
"The one seeking death is actually Chen Xian!"
Sun Xiu's words...
...brought a hint of joy to the faces of the others.
Just moments ago, they were worrying about the Danger Zone, but it seemed they had merely been projecting Chen Xian's predicament onto themselves.
If they entered, they would certainly be able to survive.
After all, these seven were not just Prodigies.
The Families behind them had also given them many trump cards!
They didn't dare use these trump cards on the dragon boat, but in the Shanhai Secret Realm, they could use them without restraint.
"Let's go, follow them!"
Sun Xiu and the others quickly followed.
Meanwhile.
Pei Ning and her group were not idle either, and they also followed at a quick pace.
After all, acting on Your Majesty's secret decree...
...they had to bring Chen Xian back to the imperial palace during this trip to the Shanhai Secret Realm without anyone knowing!
This was a direct order from the Emperor.
Therefore, even if Chen Xian entered the Core Zone or the Forbidden Zone!
They had to follow him without hesitation.
Naturally, this scene also played out before the imperial court thousands of miles away.
"Chen Xian is going to the Danger Zone; that's no different from seeking death!"
"The Marquis of Jubei is likely to lose his lineage here!"
At this, Li Zhen sneered inwardly.
Heh, if Chen Xian had entered the Safe Zone or the Edge Zone...
...he might have needed to find some excuses to placate Invincible Chen's former subordinates.
But now, there was no need at all.
Chen Xian was entering the Danger Zone.
That in itself was no different from seeking death.
Pei Ning and the others could go in, wait for ten days in secret, and then take Chen Xian away quietly.
Once they returned to the imperial palace...
...he could use a forbidden technique to perform Possession on Chen Xian's Immaculate Sacred Body!
Breakthrough the shackles!
And he could also take Jubei City for himself.
As for Invincible Chen's former subordinates, once Chen Xian was dead, they would likely lose any will to resist.
For him, it was also a case of killing two birds with one stone!
For a moment, Li Zhen even grew excited.
It was as if his Breakthrough to Quasi-Saint would happen tomorrow!
Meanwhile!
Chen Xian had already entered the teleportation array with Zhou Duoer.
The two of them instantly vanished from the array.
Sun Xiu, Pei Ning, and the others followed one after another.
Drunken Wu let out a wine-filled burp as he watched this.
He swayed unsteadily toward the Danger Zone.
"Since everyone is going there, I'll join the fun too!"
Hiss!
The crowd watched Drunken Wu, and some Da Gan Dynasty officials who knew the inside story frowned.
This Drunken Wu was a young man whom no one could figure out.
He seemed to have become a variable!
Shanhai Secret Realm, Danger Zone!
Chen Xian and Zhou Duoer were teleported in.
A powerful wind whipped their clothes, making them snap loudly!
Zhou Duoer couldn't help but lower her head.
She looked at the scorched earth beneath her feet.
This wasn't formed naturally; rather, it looked like it had been scorched by some kind of flame.
"Young Lord, here..."
"...it's very dangerous!"
Chen Xian didn't even wait for her to finish before ruthlessly interrupting Zhou Duoer.
Because what met his eyes were countless mountains in the distance that seemed both real and illusory, with lakes and vegetation on the ground.
Similarly, there were also countless Yao Beasts.
The two of them had been teleported onto this hill; though not high, it allowed them to vaguely see the overall environment ahead.
It was filled with the law of the jungle, bloodlust, and the aura of death.
The Danger Zone!
As expected, it lived up to its name.
However, Chen Xian did not panic.
"Da Huang, you're in charge of exploration and scouting!"
Da Huang, on the ground, let out two barks!
"Moon Demon, you're in charge of telling us about anything valuable!"
"Zhou Duoer and I will be responsible for dealing with trouble!"
But just as Chen Xian finished assigning their roles...
...a mocking voice came from behind them.
"Hehe, Chen Xian, your time of death has arrived."
"What are you still pretending for!"
Chen Xian turned his head.
He saw Sun Xiu and the others standing before them.
The seven of them no longer had the forbearance and calm they had shown toward Chen Xian before.
Instead, their eyes were burning with rage.
After all, two nights ago, Chen Xian had fed them those unknown Medicinal Pills, causing them to be consumed by lust and commit those disgraceful acts with one another.
For these Scions of aristocratic families who were usually supercilious, aloof, and arrogant...
...it was an absolute humiliation!
Therefore, Chen Xian had to die!
Tian Wuqi even drew the long saber from his waist.
"Today, I will surely execute you by a thousand cuts!"
While everyone hated Chen Xian...
...none hated him more than Tian Wuqi.
Because this fellow Chen Xian had been constantly mocking his status as someone who wasn't a legitimate eldest son.
It made Tian Wuqi loathe him to the core!
Today, he would surely make Chen Xian wish he were dead.
Seeing the seven of them surrounding him...
...Chen Xian unhurriedly looked toward Gu Qingcheng and Zheng Yi.
"Although I'm about to die, I still want to thank you two for telling me the news about leaving on the dragon boat!"
"It allowed me to live one more day! In the next life, I, Chen Xian, will thank you!"
As soon as he said this...
...it immediately aroused the suspicion of the others.
Gu Qingcheng and Zheng Yi's faces turned pale.
"Chen Xian! Stop framing innocent people!"
"We have no relationship with him!"
However, their defense...
...did not dispel the suspicion in the hearts of the men.
Sun Xiu narrowed his eyes, looking at Gu Qingcheng and Zheng Yi.
"Only the seven of us knew about the encirclement of Chen Xian that night!"
"And yet this guy actually fled early. I suspected someone had tipped him off back then! Now it seems it was more than one person!"
"Gu Qingcheng, Zheng Yi. You two ungrateful traitors, die!"
As soon as Sun Xiu's voice fell...
...he directly lunged toward the two women to kill them.
Seeing this, the others not only didn't stop him but instead blocked the two women's escape route!
"You! Do none of you believe us?"
"Gu Qingcheng, Zheng Yi, the fewer people who know about this, the better. We cannot tolerate ungrateful traitors!"
Under the onslaught of Sun Xiu and the others...
...Gu Qingcheng and Zheng Yi were like people swallowing bitter lotus—they had grievances but couldn't speak out!
And they were retreating repeatedly!
At this moment.
Their enemy seemed no longer to be Chen Xian, but Gu Qingcheng and Zheng Yi!
Seeing their lives hanging by a thread...
...and that they were about to be unable to hold on.
Chen Xian patted Zhou Duoer on the shoulder.
"Go, give them a hand!"
Although Zhou Duoer didn't know what Chen Xian's purpose was, as Chen Xian's Sword Attendant...
...she naturally did not hesitate.
She drew the long sword at her waist and charged straight forward.
Swish!
The moment the young girl rushed in...
...she instantly blocked two people's attacks on Gu Qingcheng from behind!
Sun Xiu and the others were also stunned when they saw Zhou Duoer appear.
This young girl had actually blocked their attacks.
With Zhou Duoer's arrival, the pressure on Gu Qingcheng and Zheng Yi was greatly reduced!
The two women were also somewhat puzzled.
For a time, the situation fell into a stalemate.
Chen Xian, meanwhile, said with a smile, "Gu Qingcheng, Zheng Yi! I'll give you a choice now!"
