Chapter 179: Generosity
The next , Su Chen headed for Empty Mountain
He still needed to convince Chu Yuan
Zhu Chenhuan personally escorted hiet to sigh and lament, “This time I really have no words”
“No words for what?” Su Chen asked innocently
Zhu Chenhuan shot hilance “You dared to kill an imperial prince! How could I not be speechless?”
Li Wuyi’s accusatory question towards Su Chen during the banquet had been overheard by Zhu Chenhuan At that moment, he had been so scared that his soul had ally, Su Chen had actually adht that this would cootiation process, and that there was even a possibility that Su Chen wouldn’t be able to leave the palace alive
However, the situation didn’t exactly unfold as he had expected it to
With but a few sentences fro er and asked, “What exactly did you say to His Majesty so that he didn’t try to do anything to you even though you killed his son?”
Su Chen laughed “What would I need to say? His Majesty is extre was probably no longer a son but a burden in his eyes However, he was unwilling to be the one to personally sever this connection Even so, he probably couldn’t wait for soet rid of this problem for him as soon as possible”
“Would he ever ad?”
Su Chen replied, “Of course not, but I would also not admit that I had killed him”
Li Wuyi believed that Su Chen had killed Li Daohon not merely because he had researched the Li Clan’s bloodline in the past but also because Li Daohong had died in Jade Cleared victorious
Suspecting Su Chen under those kinds of circumstances was only natural
However, just because Su Chen was the victor and had ed to escape with a few vials ofthat chaotic of a battle, it was entirely possible for anything to happen
There was no basis on which to firmly believe that it was Su Chen in the first place
Li Wuyi wasto feel out the situation, and perhaps even fraardless of whether Su Chen had been responsible for killing Li Daohong, Li Wuyi could still pin all the blame on him
As for the reason, there were many possibilities
As for the truth
Throughout history, the truth had been sed up by time Only those present to witness it firsthand would know the truth
Su Chen had naturally given Li Wuyi a logical explanation for Li Daohong’s death, but Li Wuyi wouldn’t believe him, and he didn’t need to either
This explanation was merely a way for Su Chen to temporarily extricate hiive them a set of cultivation techniques,” Su Chen said “A prince of Li Daohong’s status only possessed a single cultivation technique This makes it obvious what kind of an outlook Li Wuyi had about his son
Li Wuyi wanted to ask forelse
It wasn’t because he couldn’t bear to part with uilty conscience
This period of negotiation was also a chance to discover the truth
Li Wuyi was quite i’s death, then used that death to feel out Su Chen’s bottootiations with Eternal Night, he had begun to realize just how shrewd these rulers could be As such, his countenance re it impossible for Li Wuyi to do h in amazement at his calmness
“Su Chen, who do you think is ht, or our e this highly blaspheht won against me, but Li Wuyi did not”
Zhu Chenhuan was not surprised by this answer “The Harpies have weaker physical bodies than us humans, so their reproductive and combat abilities are inferior to ours They should have already been relegated to a declining city, but because of Eternal Night’s appearance, the Harpies ed to coth of an individual is still li their lifespan ht is already quite old, and he is not far froht’s death, Liaoye Country would finally have its opportunity I never would have expected this situation with Sky City to unfold”
Su Chen chuckled, “You’re worried that the Harpies will rise to power after I retrieve those treasures for Eternal Night?”
“Will that not happen?” Zhu Chenhuan countered
“I thought you would be hter of yours”
“You’re not the only one who thinks about the benefit of the country Also, your decision is not really serving the country anyways”
“That depends on how you look at it,” Su Chen countered “Perhaps to you, this looks like a coinning of a new battle”
“The beginning of a new battle?” Zhu Chenhuan thought carefully about that stateht”
Su Chen said, “That agreeun to brew after an agreement was reached?”
“But Xianyao” Zhu Chenhuan’s words suddenly froze in his throat
Because he saw Su Chen’s eyes
They burned fiercely, s with intensity
The flames of sheer will
Zhu Chenhuan finally understood Su Chen’s intentions “You’re not planning on fulfilling your end of the agreement?”
“No, I will,” Su Chen shook his head “I will stop the three countries froain back the Immortal Soul and Neptune’s Eye But that doesn’t mean he will definitely be the one to win”
Zhu Chenhuan was couard
Su Chen, however, had no intentions of continuing
There was no need for hi as Zhu Chenhuan understood that his battle with Eternal Night was only beginning, that was good enough
In a battle between the hule city or soht had ainst Su Chen, but that didn’t mean much
His victory was not coreedy and didn’t have a perfect grasp on the situation, giving Su Chen yet another opportunity
An opponent like Su Chen was not possible to fully control It was better just to take advantage of the opportunity to strike hi would be storreed was a factor of every great individual’s personality Without greed or areat in the first place
