Who Dared Scheme Against My Man?

At that moment, Chen Yunxuan felt as though he could no longer keep up with the rhythm.

Just now, as they traded cups and talked merrily, Chen Yunxuan had always thought the two of them were close friends who had known each other for many years.

But why was the ancestor now evaluating Wang Tianji this way?

Could it be that Wang Tianji's appearance this time truly concealed some other plot?

Chen Yunxuan pondered carefully, replaying everything that had happened since he first encountered Wang Tianji.

Chen Changan sat quietly to one side and did not interrupt his train of thought.

"Ancestor."

"It was true that Wang Tianji had deduced the heavenly secrets, and it was also true that he came here to reminisce with you."

"But the one thing he did not tell the truth about was that he had not come here merely to reminisce."

"Since he knew a major event was about to occur, he must know some of the inside details."

"Yet he did not mention them just now. I fear he has ulterior motives," Chen Yunxuan said after thinking for a moment.

"Mm, your analysis is fairly good." Chen Changan nodded in satisfaction.

"Ancestor, if that is so, why not take advantage of the fact that he has lost all his cultivation and force the truth out of him?"

"Or simply..." Chen Yunxuan said in a low voice.

"You brat, if he said he had lost all his cultivation, was that truly the case?"

"Didn't you notice that after he left the tavern, his aura suddenly vanished?"

"Was that something a person who had lost all cultivation could do?" Chen Changan asked with a faint smile.

"This..."

Chen Yunxuan truly had not noticed this. Could the other party have lied about this matter as well?

But what was his purpose?

"Wang Tianji is a man with depth and schemes, but he will not do anything to you or me," Chen Changan said with a smile.

"Why is that?" Chen Yunxuan asked in confusion.

"Because he doesn't dare!"

Chen Changan and Wang Tianji had known each other for only a short time, but Wang Tianji harbored a wariness toward Chen Changan—a wariness that even Wang Tianji himself found inexplicable.

By the time Chen Changan and Chen Yunxuan were conversing, Wang Tianji had already arrived several thousand kilometers away.

"Your subordinate greets the Pavilion Master!"

Wang Tianji had already returned to his original appearance. Looking at the members of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion before him, he calmly nodded.

"After returning, keep a close watch on Chen Yunxuan's every move."

"This person has only just begun to show his edge, but his future achievements will be immeasurable."

"The more we learn about him, the more advantageous it will be for us. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Pavilion Master."

"What about Chen Changan?"

Chen Changan? Wang Tianji frowned slightly, unable to make up his mind for a moment.

His purpose in coming to the Great Zhou Kingdom this time had been to test the waters.

Yet just as when he had encountered Chen Changan years ago, he still could not see through him.

He had never expected that after more than three thousand years of bitter cultivation, it would still be utterly useless before Chen Changan.

"Chen Yunxuan possesses tremendous luck. When the winds and clouds are stirred in the future, he will surely have a place among those at the center of it."

"But what role exactly will Chen Changan play in this great event?"

"Given his relationship with Chen Yunxuan, he certainly cannot be an outsider."

Wang Tianji had deduced that the world would descend into chaos, and all factions would be drawn into it. If they could seize the initiative, perhaps the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion could rise to an even greater height.

Therefore, the role Chen Changan would play was extremely important. It would also determine how he should handle his relationship with Chen Changan from now on.

"Will he be someone who enters the game, or someone who breaks the game?"

There were not many people or matters that could make Wang Tianji so conflicted, and this could not help but arouse the curiosity of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion members.

Just what kind of person was this Chen Changan? Why had the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion never possessed any information on him?

The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion held a great deal of intelligence and information. Even for some supreme experts, it possessed quite a bit of data on them.

Yet Chen Changan simply did not exist in their memories at all.

"Pavilion Master, since we cannot see through him, why don't we..."

Before the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion member could finish speaking, a powerful aura suddenly enveloped everyone.

That terrifying pressure felt as though the heavens were collapsing and the earth was splitting apart.

Wang Tianji's expression changed drastically. He mobilized all his power to resist, only to discover that it was futile—he could not withstand it at all!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Unable to hold on, Wang Tianji and the others dropped to their knees, smashing a huge crater into the ground.

"The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion?"

"What is Wang Beichuan to you?"

A pleasant voice rang out. Though beautiful, it carried a bone-piercing chill.

Wang Tianji was horrified. He had not expected the newcomer to be a woman, much less one who knew the name Wang Beichuan.

Wang Tianji struggled to raise his head. The movement was slight, yet it took a great deal out of him.

Not far away stood a woman in a long purple dress, her face covered by a purple veil.

The veil was thin, yet Wang Tianji could not make out her features.

The newcomer was none other than Chen Changan's master, Mu Yunyao.

"Y-Yes, he is my... the ancestor of my Wang Family," Wang Tianji said nervously.

"Hmph. For the sake of that brat Wang Beichuan, I'll spare you this once today."

"Remember this. I don't care who you are or what you intend to do."

"Do not set your sights on Chen Changan."

"Otherwise, I will wipe out your Wang Family to the last member."

"My man is not someone any of you can scheme against!"

At those words, cold sweat streamed down Wang Tianji's face. He did not know Chen Changan's background; he only knew that the boy was powerful and mysterious.

He never could have imagined that such a supreme expert stood at Chen Changan's side.

What exactly was the relationship between these two?

My man?

Could this be Chen Changan's woman?

If so...

Could it be that Chen Changan had deliberately sent her to warn him not to play any tricks?

"Please rest assured, Senior. Brother Chen and I have made each other's acquaintance. I will absolutely not scheme against Brother Chen."

"I wouldn't think you'd dare."

"Speak. What exactly has your Heavenly Secrets Pavilion discovered this time?"

"Has Senior heard that the Heaven Earth Human Three Rankings have reappeared in the world?"

The Heaven Earth Human Three Rankings?

"When?" Mu Yunyao suddenly frowned and asked in a low voice.

"At first, it was merely my deduction, but one month ago, our Heavenly Secrets Pavilion received some news."

"The Heaven Earth Human Three Rankings have truly appeared."

"Senior should know what it means for the Heaven Earth Human Three Rankings to appear, correct?"

What did it mean?

Mu Yunyao understood it all too well. She had experienced the appearance of the Heaven Earth Human Three Rankings in the past, but that had been tens of thousands of years ago.

They had not appeared for tens of thousands of years, yet they appeared precisely at this time?

"Do you know the exact day they appeared?" Mu Yunyao asked in a deep voice.

"It should have been... the Sixth Day of the Sixth Month."

The Sixth Day of the Sixth Month?

Hearing this, Mu Yunyao's heart jolted.

The Sixth Day of the Sixth Month was precisely when Chen Changan absorbed the Fetal Pearl and became able to cultivate.

But the Heaven Earth Human Three Rankings had rules, including age restrictions. Chen Changan clearly did not qualify.

Then why had the Heaven Earth Human Three Rankings reappeared the moment he became able to cultivate?

A coincidence? Or was there another reason?

No matter what, Mu Yunyao knew very clearly what tremendous upheaval the world had undergone after the Heaven Earth Human Three Rankings appeared back then.

Many of today's top factions had risen to prominence at that time.

This time, in order not to repeat the same mistakes and be replaced by others, what would they do?

The world... was indeed about to descend into chaos!
