Xi Zhe noticed Zu Hengyao's gaze, but sneered, with a bit of disapproval in his tone. "Zu Hengyao, you are getting old after all, and your courage is getting weaker and weaker."
Zu Hengyao frowned slightly, feeling a bit displeased in his heart. He has lived for most of his life and is considered a respectable person in the magic world. When has he ever received such a straightforward ridicule?
However, due to the presence of Chen Lang, and knowing that Xi Zhe and himself were now the core of Chen Lang's subordinates, he finally suppressed his anger and did not explode, but his face became more and more serious.
Xi Zhe didn't care about his expression at all and continued, "Since we have decided to follow the chief, we will fight wherever the chief directs us. You don't really think that Holy City's anger can be avoided without your participation, do you?"
"This..." Zu Hengyao was speechless for a moment.
Xi Zhe's words were like a sharp needle, piercing the luck he had been deliberately avoiding.
"Now we are all the chief's confidants. We have already shared the honor and disgrace with the chief and are tied to the same boat." Xi Zhe's tone became more solemn. He took half a step forward and said in a loud voice, "Holy City Those guys have always been obedient. I will prosper, and those who go against me will perish. Even if they say they won't stop us at this moment, when the chief is eliminated, we dependents will be the next to be liquidated. Instead of sitting back and waiting for death, it is better to follow the chief and give it a try. Maybe there is still a glimmer of hope, and even a brand new situation can be created!"
After saying that, Xi Zhe turned to look at Chen Lang, bent even lower, bowed and saluted, and said in an extremely firm tone, "Chief, Xi Zhe is willing to serve as your guide. No matter whether the opponent is Kasa Aristocratic Clan or Holy City, my subordinates will face it together with you, even if they die!"
Xi Zhe didn't have much respect for Holy City. When he followed Su Lu, he was attracted by Su Lu's ambition to conquer the world.
Now Chen Lang is the master. Chen Lang's ambition and strength are superior to Su Lu's, and his methods are more decisive. Naturally, he is more worthy of his full following.
As the saying goes, a high-rise building rises from the ground. Only by being firmly tied to the chariot of the new owner from the very beginning can it occupy a place in the new pattern of the future. Otherwise, it will eventually become an abandoned child eliminated by the times.
Chen Lang looked at the undisguised determination in Xi Zhe's eyes and nodded slightly.
What he wants is followers who dare to fight and fight regardless of the consequences, not people like Zu Hengyao who are timid and worried about gains and losses.
What's more, Xi Zhe is also a real Forbidden Curse powerhouse. Such a powerful boost picked up halfway is undoubtedly very satisfying, and it also makes him more confident to fight against Holy City.
Zu Hengyao, who was standing by, saw Xi Zhe expressing his allegiance so easily. He was filled with confusion and even wanted to go up and ask Xi Zhe.
Where did the fans get the confidence to follow Chen Lang against Holy City so firmly?
Do you really think that with just one Black Dragon Emperor, you can dismantle the Holy City Archangel who have controlled the world for thousands of years and have unfathomable secrets?
But then I thought about it, and there was nothing wrong with what Xi Zhe said.
Holy City Those old guys are never good, they are ruthless and will retaliate.
Perhaps due to the checks and balances of all parties, they will not immediately take action against the people under Chen Lang, but this does not mean that they will not settle the score later.
Once Chen Lang is defeated, his right-hand men who supported Chen Lang and served him wholeheartedly will only end up worse than Chen Lang.
In fact, Zu Hengyao has always wanted to persuade Chen Lang not to be impulsive and to tolerate the development for a while.
But he didn't know that this was not just a question of whether Chen Lang was willing to tolerate it, Holy City would never give potential threats enough time to develop.
"Huh~"
Thoughts swirled for a moment, Zu Hengyao took a deep breath, suppressed the entanglement and luck in his heart, raised his eyes to look at Chen Lang, his expression was extremely solemn, and asked word by word, "Chief, if we really face Holy City... How sure are you?"
"Half and half." Chen Lang leaned on the main seat, his tone was calm, and there was no sound at all.
He did not exaggerate and deliberately create the illusion of victory, nor did he overestimate Holy City and fall into a situation of timidity before fighting.
Just with his own Dominator Emperor level strength, coupled with the powerful Black Dragon Emperor, and the Chen Shan who is also a strong forbidden curse, he is enough to compete with the Archangels of Holy City.
What's more, Chen Lang knows in his heart that unless he takes the initiative to knock on the door and truly threatens Holy City's core heritage and foundation, otherwise, Holy City Those Archangels will never break the ancient rules and go out together. Those guys have been tempered by thousands of years of stability and are bound by many ancient oaths. This is his biggest opportunity.
"Is there really no room for relaxation? Even if it's just to buy some time for you to grow again?" Zu Hengyao asked, still not giving up the last hope.
To be honest, as long as Chen Lang is given a certain amount of time, the threat of Holy City is really not that scary.
Chen Lang's talent is definitely the only one he has ever encountered in his life that can rival those ancient Emperor who left a great name in the history of magic.
But Chen Lang's growth period is too short, and Holy City's desire for change and challenge is too eager.
"Actually, you made a mistake..." Chen Lang looked at Zu Hengyao's eager look, shook his head slightly and said, "I can understand what you mean, but it's not that I don't want to tolerate it, but those guys Holy City don't intend to give me this opportunity at all."
"..." Zu Hengyao was stunned, his eyes full of doubts.
Chen Lang Xuan even told the story of how he met a Holy City traveling angel outside Dubai city, who secretly tested his strength and even classified himself as an "uncontrollable threat".
The moment he learned about this, Zu Hengyao froze in place as if struck by lightning, and his face instantly turned pale.
Only then did he fully understand that Chen Lang had been targeted by Holy City for a long time. The conflict between the two parties was irreconcilable and could not be solved by "buying time to develop" as he thought.
Chen Lang has been listed as a threat that must be eliminated by Holy City. Can he, the right-hand man who personally supports Chen Lang and serves him wholeheartedly, stay away?
The answer is obvious.
For the first time, Zu Hengyao felt a little panicked.
He has always believed in the principle of "don't take sides and leave a way out", but this time, he realized that he had no way out.
"Alas..." Zu Hengyao let out a heavy sigh, his face full of helplessness.
The development of things has completely exceeded his expectations, but he has no way out.
After thinking about it again and again, the hesitation and luck in Zu Hengyao's eyes completely dissipated, replaced by the determination to break the boat.
He took a step forward, bowed deeply to Chen Lang, and said in an extremely solemn tone, "Chief, our Zu Clan clan is willing to advance and retreat together with the chief and the Chen family! If Holy City wants to take action, I, Zu Clan, must use all our strength to fight against the powerful enemy!"
"Okay." Chen Lang looked at Zu Hengyao and finally made up his mind, nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Kasa Aristocratic Clan I already know the address of Lightning Vein. You two go down and get busy first."
In fact, Zu Hengyao's final statement was already expected by Chen Lang.
From the moment Zu Hengyao supported him to take office, both parties have become a community of interests, and Zu Family has no way of turning back.
He hadn't pointed it out before, but he just needed Zu Hengyao to figure it out on his own and join in willingly. After all, forcefulness is not sweet. Only followers who truly understand the situation and let go of their luck can play their greatest role at critical moments...
