Different on the Surface

"Prince of Qin, no, I should call you Your Prince now. You truly deserve the title of Prince of Qin in this Dagan empire."

After Chu Xuanao appeared, Chu Yinghao, Chu Wensheng, and Chu Mo immediately appeared in front of Chu Xuanao. Chu Yinghao spoke first, his face full of smiles, his tone filled with joy and pride.

"In just a few months, Your Prince has already become a powerful figure in this region, truly a man of unparalleled talent!"

After Chu Yinghao finished speaking, Chu Mo picked up the conversation, his tone filled with gratitude and joy, speaking from the bottom of his heart.

"Indeed! Your Highness, the Prince of Qin, is indeed a man of great potential. In truth, I owe a great debt to Your Highness!"

Chu Mo knew very well that without the Prince of Qin, his life might have ended just like that.

Chu Yinghao also gleaned information from this sentence: Chu Mo must have been rescued by the King of Prince of Qin. Recalling how the Prince of Qin had previously instructed Princess Jingyi (Chu Xuanxian) to investigate Chu Mo, was this an attempt to confirm Chu Mo's whereabouts?

Where did the Prince of Qin get his information about Chu Mo?

Although Chu Wensheng wore a proud smile, he was somewhat frustrated. Chu Mo was alive and had even entered the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. For the Imperial Clan family, having another powerful figure was a blessing, but why was he right next to the Prince of Qin?

If this Prince of Qin weren't a member of the Imperial Clan, it would be fine; Chu Mo wouldn't tell outsiders about this.

But the Prince of Qin was not only a member of the Imperial Clan, but also a direct descendant of the Dagan Imperial Clan, the Sixth Son of the current emperor, and a first-rank prince Dagan impeccable lineage in Daqian. He now had no doubt that the Prince of Qin knew everything about the Corpse Immortal Sect.

"You flatter me, Ancestor. I was merely doing what I was supposed to do. This battle will depend on the three Ancestors and all the seniors."

Chu Xuanao listened to the ancestor's words with a humble and gentle expression, speaking modestly as if bathed in a spring breeze. Looking at the three ancestors' faces, he wore a proud smile, as if saying to the powerful figures present, "This is the king of my Dagan Imperial Clan, this is the current Prince of Qin."

If someone were meeting them for the first time, or didn't know anything about the Imperial Clan, they might actually believe it. But Chu Xuanao couldn't help but think to himself, "That's a really good performance!!!"

Of the three, only Chu Mo spoke from the heart. As for the remaining Old Ancestor Yinghao and Elder Wensheng, Chu Xuanao could only say that if you believed them, you were not far from death.

Among this group of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts, apart from Li Xunhuan and Ye Gucheng who are on their side, none of the rest are easy to deal with; they all have their own agendas!

"Alright, three venerable ancestors, and seniors, please enter the city. It is my fault for not entertaining you by having you stand here. Please."

As he spoke, Chu Xuanao raised one hand and pointed towards the city gate. The crowd behind him consciously stepped aside, making way in the middle to welcome the powerful figures from Dagan forces.

Seeing the Prince of Qin's calm and composed expression, the powerful figures present remained outwardly composed, but their minds were filled with countless thoughts.

Chu Xuanao was the same. Everyone in the conversation wore a smile, and the three members of the Imperial Clan were even more proud and cheerful. Everyone seemed sincere and harmonious, but each of them was hypocritical and said one thing but meant another.

Chu Yinghao and Chu Wensheng felt a mixture of helplessness and anger. Before they had even conquered Cangshui, you had already failed to provide proper hospitality and directly ceded the territory to them. The Imperial Clan hadn't even spoken yet, and you had already made your decision.

Lin Ting, the True Person Li Luo of the Xuantian Dao Sect, felt a headache coming on as he thought about the Prince of Qin he still needed to find.

He couldn't just take action; no matter what, he couldn't possibly make a move right here. Besides, there were Li Xunhuan and Chu Yinghao there too. The two of them alone couldn't win.

Let's talk! Getting people from him will cost us a fortune, and we might not even succeed. This Prince of Qin is no ordinary man!

Jiang Liyue glanced at him sideways, finding it quite interesting. This Prince of Qin had been stirring up Dagan storm lately, and this time he had even taken the initiative to provoke a war between the two countries, with many Heavenly Realm experts joining the battle. He was definitely a figure of great influence.

With courage and skill, Jiang Liyue was eager to know how this Prince of Qin had managed to get a late-stage Celestial Phenomenon Realm expert to serve him.

However, Jiang Liyue took a closer look at everyone present. Various forces, Dagan and small, had gathered, and many people were watching this once-in-a-century spectacle from afar. More than ten Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts had come together.

But among so many people, Jiang Liyue couldn't find the person she wanted to see.

Li Yanxiao of the Li Family had a fleeting shadow in his eyes. This Prince of Qin had first won the Battle of Youzhou, and now he was attacking Cangshui. To this day, the Dagan Imperial Clan's influence was growing stronger and stronger, and they had reversed their own decline.

If we win this battle again, Dagan can reclaim the lost territory and our glory will be boundless. Besides, why would those guys from the Xuantian Dao Sect come? If the Chu family makes peace and forms an alliance with the Xuantian Dao Sect again, what will become of us?

If things continue to develop this way, the Dagan Imperial Clan will actually prosper even more and will not decline at all, which is not what the Li Family wants to see.

Inside the city lord's mansion in Luocheng, numerous powerful figures gathered together. The three main seats above were arranged side by side, representing the three top forces that had arrived in Dagan: the Chu family, the Dagan Imperial Clan; the Xuantian Dao Sect; and the Li Family.

This battle is the main event for the Dagan Imperial Clan, so they are seated in the center, in the main seat. Representing the Dagan Imperial Clan here is Chu Xuanao. The three ancestors of the Imperial Clan, Chu Yinghao, sit on the left, and Chu Mo and Chu Wensheng are on the right, flanking them.

This was the result of discussions between Chu Yinghao and the other two. In any case, this battle was initiated by the Prince of Qin. As the Sixth Son of the current emperor of the Dagan Gan Dynasty, the Prince of Qin was qualified to represent the Dagan Imperial Clan here, and only he could do so.

On the left, representing the Xuantian Dao Sect, is Sect Master Jing Zhonglai, with True Persons Li Yue and Li Luo seated cross-legged to his left and right.

Only Li Yanxiao from the Li Family on the right sat there, standing out conspicuously.

Jiang Liyue glanced sideways at Li Yanxiao, who sat alone on the other side, looking quite lonely, and a playful look appeared on her face.

"Li Yanxiao, why are you the only one from your Li Family here?"

"Where are Li Qinglong and Li Xingzhi? Logically speaking, your Li Family shouldn't be acting like this at a time like this!"

At this moment, Li Yanxiao, who was sitting there, felt that the seat was thorny. Especially after hearing Jiang Liyue's words, a fierce look flashed in her eyes, and she directly stated that it was true.

Why am I the only one here?

Isn't that a rhetorical question you already know the answer to?

Who the hell knew your Xuantian Dao Sect would come? Who could have known it would be the two of you? If we had known, how could he have come alone?

Hearing this, Chu Xuanao, who was sitting in the central seat, found it amusing.

Is the Li Family here to slap us in the face?

Sometimes, if one of them comes, it's better if they don't come at all!

Just like when relatives in a past life hold an event and you have to give a gift, you don't have to go. There are so many people there, even if the relatives have a grudge in their hearts, they will be fine on the surface. If you don't want to come, then you don't have to come!

But if you're coming, you have to make a good impression and get things done properly!

If you come and only give one or ten yuan as a gift, is that alright?

You've come here to directly slap me in the face in court?

You'd be better off not coming!

With so many people here, powerful figures from all sides, and the entire world gathered, where does this leave the face of the Dagan Imperial Clan?
