231: More powerful than the young master, worthy of being Prime Minister Cao

Atop the West Chu Imperial City!

Su Shengyuan, dressed in white, sat on the city wall, a table placed before him.

On it lay an ancient zither. Jiang Yunni leaned against Su Shengyuan, idly plucking the strings.

Qingluan and Hongye sat on either side, attending to Su Shengyuan.

Tong Xiayue was still undergoing the Legacy bestowed by the West Chu Imperial Family and had not yet emerged from seclusion.

“The rebel army numbers three million, not counting the smaller rebel groups in various regions, and there are thousands of Saint Realm powerhouses. Among them, there are no fewer than twenty Saints of the Saint Ancestor level alone. Do we… do we really have a chance of winning?”

Jiang Yunni plucked the zither strings, asking with some concern.

Su Shengyuan hooked her chin, gently pressing a kiss on her delicate, alluring red lips. “They’re just a bunch of rabble. With this one battle, we’ll wipe out these clowns, and West Chu will finally have a brief period of peace.”

Jiang Yunni: “…”

If it weren’t for Su Shengyuan saying it himself, she would never have dreamed that a young man facing such a terrifying army would still declare them to be a bunch of rabble.

If anyone else had said it, Jiang Yunni would have only scoffed.

Jiang Yunni rose and walked to the edge of the city wall, gazing at the vast landscape. “My dream is to paint mountains, rivers, and the Jianghu, but I never thought of painting the intrigues of the imperial court.”

Su Shengyuan looked at Jiang Yunni’s back and smiled. “Then live according to your own desires.”

“My desires? My desires are to stay by your side every day, touching and talking to you,” Jiang Yunni turned her head, revealing her pearly white canines.

Qingluan and Hongye covered their mouths and chuckled. “It seems Young Master’s back will be aching again.”

Just then!

Su Shengyuan’s ears twitched. He immediately looked in a certain direction, then revealed a slight smile.

My older sister is truly reliable!

She arrived so early.

At the same time!

In an inn within the Imperial City.

A Young Master dressed in ordinary clothes was devouring food, accompanied by two old servants and a donkey!

The Young Master appeared to be dressed as an ordinary person, but his eyes subtly shimmered with divine light, making him extraordinary.

This person was none other than Lin Yunli’s sworn brother, the Northern Liang Heir, Xu Fengnian!

“Old Huang, leave some for me! Damn it, how much meat have you stolen from me on the way?” Xu Fengnian kicked an old servant missing a front tooth, sending him flying, then snatched a piece of pig’s head meat and stuffed it into his mouth.

The other servant chuckled, “Old Huang, daring to snatch meat from Young Master, you’re probably asking to have your home stolen.”

Upon hearing this, Old Huang immediately sat down obediently, looking at the many delicacies on the table but daring not to move again.

Young Master is quite lecherous, adept at stealing homes, and his preferences are exactly like those of Cao Chancellor of West Chu, so… Old Huang dared not.

Although his wife was plump and plump, if Young Master were to steal his home, he would have nowhere to cry.

At this moment!

Old Huang seemed to remember something and said to Xu Fengnian, “Young Master, it has been confirmed. The young Marquis of Marquis of Peace Residence has been killed by King Zhenchu, leaving no corpse behind.”

With a bang!

Xu Fengnian threw the half-braised pig’s face in his hand at Old Huang. “Damn it, you dare kill my brother, Xu Fengnian?”

Of course, the most important reason was that he could no longer contact Purple Firmament Fairy through Lin Yunli.

Old Huang lowered his head, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, but he suppressed it.

The other servant seemed to sense Old Huang’s Killing Intent and tapped him, “Huang Sanqiang, don’t forget your place.”

“Li Chun’an, I don’t need you to remind me!” Huang Sanqiang dared not do anything to Xu Fengnian, but he was not afraid of Li Chun’an.

“Enough!”

Seeing that these two fellows were about to fight again.

Xu Fengnian let out a cold shout, stopping the two of them.

At the same time, he resented his father to the extreme.

“Damn it, couldn’t he send me a few beauties? He only sent these two old farts.”

Xu Fengnian stopped eating.

He then walked out of the inn.

“King Zhenchu, you dared to kill my brother and cut off my path to marriage. We have truly formed an enmity.”

Now, with the West Chu rebels pointing their swords at the Imperial City, it was only a matter of time.

Xu Fengnian was not in a hurry to act against Su Shengyuan.

After all, he was here to play the hero and save the beauty.

Xu Fengnian’s journey to West Chu this time was for the West Chu Empress, Jiang Yunni.

In fact, even if West Chu hadn’t been in chaos, he would have found a way to stir up trouble, then he would heroically save Jiang Yunni from crisis.

As long as he had a connection with Jiang Yunni, he could enter the West Chu Imperial Family.

After all, he had the terrifying backing of the Northern Liang King, and the West Chu Imperial Family would certainly not refuse such a great help.

Starting from the West Chu Imperial Family, he would gradually take control of the Western Chu Holy Dynasty.

This was Xu Fengnian’s plan.

However, it seemed that everything he wanted to do had already been done by King Zhenchu.

“Young Master, should we kill King Zhenchu?” Li Chun’an’s voice sounded from behind him.

Xu Fengnian shook his head, his eyes filled with a cold sneer. “No rush. King Zhenchu will be killed sooner or later. Now that the rebel army is about to besiege the city, let’s watch the show first and see what other tricks King Zhenchu has up his sleeve.”

“Understood!”

Immediately, the master and two servants disappeared from the street and headed towards the largest pleasure district in the Imperial City.

Having traveled for a long time, Xu Fengnian hadn’t indulged in pleasures for a while. Although village women could satisfy his urges, they were ultimately not as good as the finest.

… … … …

Prime Minister’s Residence!

Cao Chancellor was in high spirits due to his good fortune. He was getting younger and younger, able to last from five seconds to seven seconds.

He had just walked out of his room!

He looked up at the sky and laughed loudly.

“Haha, haha, after today, West Chu will be dominated by Cao, haha…”

However, he hadn’t finished laughing.

He was interrupted by a sudden voice.

Amitabha Demon God emerged from the Void Realm, his face benevolent, like a Maitreya Buddha, with a large belly.

“Amitabha Tathagata Buddha, Benefactor Cao, Young Master invites you to the city wall for a discussion.” Amitabha Demon God clasped his hands together and recited a Buddhist chant.

“You dare to touch me?”

Cao Chengxiang waved his hand, and many Saint Realm powerhouses emerged from the Void Realm, surrounding Amitabha Demon God.

“I’ve been prepared for you all along. Do you think I, the Prime Minister, would dare to stay in the Imperial City without preparations?”

Cao Chengxiang snorted coldly!

Ever since King Zhenchu began targeting various officials and nobles, he had secretly invited many Saints from the Hall of Hundred Saints to protect him.

And King Zhenchu had never acted against him, which made Cao Chengxiang believe that Su Shengyuan feared the Hall of Hundred Saints.

So, now that King Zhenchu had sent someone to arrest him, he naturally knew that King Zhenchu was going for a desperate fight.

However, he was well prepared!

Cao Chengxiang’s face was calm, without any panic.

“With a great enemy at hand, I, the Prime Minister, don’t believe that King Zhenchu would dare to make such a big fuss. These ten Saint Kings are the gift I, the Prime Minister, send to King Zhenchu…”

The moment the words fell!

To Cao Chengxiang’s utterly bewildered expression.

The ten Saint Kings instantly deflated like broken balloons, their Law Origin, essence blood, all mysteriously flowing into the Void Realm.

Reincarnation Demon God stepped out of the Void Realm, holding the Chaos Supreme Treasure, the Six Paths of Reincarnation Plate, and chuckled. “This Saint King thanks the Prime Minister for the gift on behalf of Young Master.”

The Primordial Spirits of the ten Saint Kings were injected into the Six Paths of Reincarnation Plate, causing this Chaos Supreme Treasure to instantly emit a terrifying radiance.

Cao Chengxiang: “…”

Good, good, playing like this, are we?

Then I’ll leave?

At this moment, Cao Chengxiang was completely panicked, collapsing to the ground with a thud.

He hadn’t expected King Zhenchu to have such a powerful individual by his side, capable of instantly stripping the Primordial Spirit, Origin, and essence blood of living beings.

So, these ten Saint Kings were just for nothing?

“Take him away!”

“No, no, my 160 concubines haven’t been… played with yet…”

Cao Chengxiang’s miserable voice grew fainter and fainter, eventually disappearing.

Amitabha Demon God: “…”

160 concubines?

Even more impressive than Young Master!

Truly worthy of being Cao Chancellor!
