Chapter 133: Meeting Zhou Shui, Plotting the World
"Yang Chen, what you said, I did not understand," Zhu Jiang inquired.
"Therefore, Senior can only be a minister and not a tyrant. Some things can only be inferred by oneself and cannot be spoken," Yang Chen said calmly. Zhu Jiang was silent for a moment and then said:
"Shadow Kill Legion's First Guest Elder Zhu Jiang, meets Yang Chen, Captain."
"To have your assistance is like adding wings to a tiger," Yang Chen cupped his fists and said respectfully.
"Captain is being polite. However, I cannot appear in public; I hope Captain can understand," Zhu Jiang said solemnly.
"I understand. Since you are the First Guest Elder of Shadow Kill Legion, you should have a token," Yang Chen said, then took out an Emblem from the Demon God Ring. He infused it with a layer of Life Essence, transforming the originally blood-colored Emblem into a brilliant green before handing it to Zhu Jiang, saying, "I hope you will not refuse this."
"This is natural." Zhu Jiang directly dripped blood to acknowledge ownership and then stored it in his Storage Ring.
"Shadow Kill Legion Captain Yang Chen thanks you for your righteousness," Yang Chen cupped his fists again and expressed his gratitude to Zhu Jiang. Zhu Jiang quickly stepped back and hurriedly said, "Captain is so courteous to someone of lower status; it makes me admire you. However, as Captain of a team, you should set an example for the entire camp; please do not do this again in the future." Zhu Jiang stepped forward to help Yang Chen up.
"Thank you for your understanding. Since you are the First Guest Elder of my Shadow Kill Legion, I would like to present you with a small gift; I hope you will not refuse." He then summoned a large amount of Life Essence from the Nine-Pointed Star and poured it into Zhu Jiang's forehead Hexagram.
"This, is this Life Essence?" Zhu Jiang exclaimed in surprise. "Such a vast amount of Life Essence makes me feel unworthy."
"Since you are one of us, this small amount of Life Essence should not be taken to heart. If this little Life Essence can help you break through to the Dueling Saint Realm, I am willing to give everything to assist your breakthrough!" Yang Chen said earnestly.
"Thank you, Captain, for your kindness," Zhu Jiang expressed his gratitude.
A few minutes later, the Nine-Pointed Star on Yang Chen's forehead was once again empty; all the stored Life Essence had been transferred to Zhu Jiang.
"How do you feel? The Life Essence stored before has been exhausted, but I assure you that if there is more Life Essence in the future, there will definitely be a share for you," Yang Chen promised.
"Thank you, Captain. I can already feel the thin membrane at the level of Saint of Combat; if I have two more chances, I will surely advance to Saint of Combat!" Zhu Jiang said respectfully, now using the term 'subordinate.'
"That is excellent. If you advance to Saint of Combat, our Shadow Kill Legion will have sufficient confidence. Please rest well and refine the Life Essence within your body once more," Yang Chen said softly.
"Thank you, Captain. In the future, if Captain gives an order, I will not decline!" Zhu Jiang promised solemnly.
"Remember, I have it noted down, ha ha. Alright, sir, please go rest; I won't disturb you any longer," Yang Chen said respectfully.
"Thank you, Captain," Zhu Jiang replied, then turned and left the Reception Room.
"Li Qi, what do you think about the current situation?" Yang Chen inquired.
"Young Master, given the current circumstances, if we remain an independent legion, the Jia Shi Dynasty will definitely mobilize troops against us. However, they will not send a Fighting Saint Expert because in Fan Ying Tian's eyes, our Shadow Kill Legion still holds value. But for now, it would be best for us to seek allegiance with one of the Lords. This way, with the treaty established by the Two Princes, the Empire will not interfere with our development, and we can benefit from both Lords," Li Qi analyzed.
"Then who do you think we should approach among the Lords?" Yang Chen asked.
"Hasn't Young Master already made a choice? Do you still need to ask your subordinate?" Li Qi chuckled.
"You brat, be serious. So tell me, why should I choose the Zhou Shui alliance?" Yang Chen scolded playfully.
"Because Zhou Shui is relatively weaker than Huangshan, and it would be easier to control them. If we assist Zhou Shui, they will have a chance to contend with Huangshan for power. Otherwise, they will only be driven out of this game by Huangshan," Li Qi replied.
"That's right; what you said aligns closely with my thoughts. But you've forgotten one thing. Whether it's Zhou Shui or Huangshan, neither can touch Jia Shi in the slightest! This is a struggle for the throne, not a contest among Lords. The three Lords are merely pawns; in Chitianba and Fan Ying Tian's eyes, they are all just small ants," Yang Chen revealed.
"Then why does Young Master want to incite the Three Lords to rebel?" Li Qi asked, and both Shi Heng and he showed curiosity.
"Because only through chaos will there be death! Moreover, everything I do is not for the sake of becoming an emperor but for a woman—a woman I promised..." Yang Chen gazed into the distance, lost in thought.
"Love for beauty over power; willing to stir up chaos for one person." The same thought arose in all three of their minds.
"Young Master is so devoted and noble; I am unworthy," Li Qi sighed, seemingly lamenting that his ideals and goals were so vastly different from another's.
"Everyone has their own pursuits. Since you follow me, I will naturally help you achieve yours," Yang Chen said sadly.
"Thank you, Young Master. So what is your pursuit?" Li Qi asked.
"My pursuit..." Yang Chen looked into the distance at the gray sky and said with melancholy: "I just want to go back."
"Alright, Li Qi, prepare your troops well and then procure large quantities of Nightmare, Heavenly Bow, and Zhu Ri Jian from Wanjin Chamber of Commerce. I want the world to hear that Shadow Kill's Nightmare cavalry strikes fear into all!" Yang Chen said coldly.
"Yes, Young Master," Li Qi replied respectfully before leaving the Reception Room.
"Shi Heng, Lin Tingting, you two come with me to Zhou Shui's base," Yang Chen instructed.
"Young Master, is it too early to express our stance now?" Shi Heng asked.
"If we delay, our Shadow Kill Legion will be attacked by both lords at the same time. Since we have military strength that is not inferior to theirs, we will always be a hidden danger," Yang Chen said.
"I understand," Shi Heng nodded.
"In military campaigns, the worst thing is to be indecisive. The earlier we express our stance, the more benefits we can gain," Yang Chen explained. "Now, let's go to Yunshui City."
"Yes, Young Master."
At the lord's mansion in Yunshui City, five guests gathered together.
"Commander Yang is truly a hero of our time. Ha ha, at such a young age, you already possess power that rivals mine. I must say I admire you," Zhou Shui said with admiration.
"Lord Liao overpraises me. No matter what I do, I cannot compare to you in any way. Besides, are you still just a lord?" Yang Chen asked.
"Oh? What do you mean by that, Commander Yang?" Zhou Shui inquired.
"I can slay the Crown Prince of the Empire and establish Chi Long as the heir. Why not take the opportunity to kill the Second Prince and declare yourself king?" Yang Chen suggested.
"Isn't it too early to declare oneself king now?" Zhou Shui said with a frown, puzzled.
