"My humble servant, Long Er, greets His Majesty Xiao Chen!"

The middle-aged man in the lead, dressed in servant's clothes, came to Xiao Chen and flattered him.

The second prince of the Iron Blood Dynasty? Could he be related to Long Xue? Could he have been sent by Long Xue?

Apart from Long Xue, Xiao Chen didn't know anyone else from the Iron Blood Dynasty, so when this person said that he was the housekeeper of the second prince of the Iron Blood Dynasty, Xiao Chen immediately thought of Long Xue, and only she would come to see him.

"Your Majesty, the second prince of the Iron Blood Dynasty is a strong candidate for the next emperor besides the eldest prince. He came to you, perhaps to win you over," Ye Piaoling came to Xiao Chen and whispered in his ear.

Xiao Chen asked in return, "What's his relationship with the Ninth Princess, Long Xue? Is it possible that Long Xue asked the Second Prince to send someone to find me?"

Ye Piao Ling pondered for a moment and said, "That's unlikely. Aside from the Third Prince, who has no hope of becoming the heir, I rarely hear of the Ninth Princess having any relationship with other princes. She's probably here for your fame."

Xiao Chen is now very famous even in the dynasty, so it is not surprising that someone is targeting him.

However, since the Second Prince has nothing to do with Long Xue, there is no need to be too polite to him.

Xiao Chen looked at the servant named Long Er and said calmly, "I don't know you, nor do I know your Second Prince, so you'd better leave!"

Long Er was slightly stunned. This was the first time he encountered someone who refused the Second Prince's recruitment, and this was when he didn't say anything but just revealed his identity.

Long Er smiled awkwardly and said, "Well, Master Xiao Chen, don't you want to listen to what I have to say? Our Second Prince just wants to..."

Before Long Er could finish, Xiao Chen interrupted him and said, "Whatever he wants to do, I'm not interested. Okay, you can leave now."

After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he left with his men, leaving Long Er with an extremely gloomy expression.

A subordinate beside him said awkwardly, "Steward Long, what should we do now? The Second Prince asked us to recruit him, but now..."

Long Er waved his hand and said, "Send someone to keep an eye on him. I'll go back and report to the Second Prince. Even though this guy doesn't know what's good for him, he can't fall into the hands of the First Prince."

…

"Xiao Chen, you just rejected him like that. At least listen to what he has to say. We have just arrived in the Central Region, maybe we can get some useful information to us," Tian Yan said after Xiao Chen and others left.

Xiao Chen shrugged and said, "It doesn't matter. With the strength of our industry, if we want to know something, we can just grab someone's tongue and ask."

Tian Yan nodded and said, "Well, then how about we catch the tongue following behind us?"

The people that Long Er sent to follow Xiao Chen were only at the Martial Lord level, so how could they hide from Tian Yan?

Xiao Chen smiled and said, "No need. If he wants to follow, let him follow. We can also see what he is going to do."

No one else had any objections, but Mu Yu and Chen Jue were a little hesitant. She was worried that the location of Qiankun Pavilion would be exposed.

Xiao Chen sensed her worry and said, "Don't worry, Miss Mu Yu. If you don't want the location of Qiankun Pavilion to be exposed, I will take care of it when the time comes."

…

At the Shangguan family's house, Shangguan Qingmeng was sitting in the study that originally belonged to Shangguan Wuqing. Xinghun and Shangguan He were also sitting in the study, discussing matters with Shangguan Qingmeng.

Shangguan Qingmeng asked Shangguan He, "Uncle Shangguan, how is the Shangguan family's takeover of Lingyun City's assets going? Have you encountered any resistance?"

Lingyun City belongs to the Shangguan family, but the industries there do not entirely belong to the Shangguan family. The Shangguan family’s industries in Lingyun City roughly account for 40% of the entire city.

Shangguan He smiled and said, "Of course they wouldn't hand it over to us willingly, but after Lord Xinghun killed a few people, they didn't dare to resist."

Shangguan Qingmeng nodded. She didn't need these people to submit sincerely. She didn't care even if she had to use force to subdue them. Time would dilute everything.

Xinghun asked, "Miss Shangguan, has His Majesty sent any news? When will he arrive?"

Shangguan Qingmeng said, "He sent a message when he left Imperial City. According to the time calculation, he should be able to reach Lingyun City in ten days at most. However, you know his character. He might cause trouble for you if he's not careful. A month is good enough."

Xinghun smiled slightly, took out a jade talisman and said, "Lin'er has sent news that the Wang family, one of the ten great families, has sent a strong man and is heading to Lingyun City."

Shangguan Qingmeng's expression remained unchanged as he calmly replied, "It's as expected. The Shangguan family is in our hands now, so how could Shangguan Wuqing remain silent? I'm not worried about them. The ten major families may appear to have a good relationship, but expecting them to work for the Shangguan family is a foregone conclusion."

Shangguan He on the side suddenly said: "Speaking of this, Miss, I just received news that people from the three religions and four sects are also coming to Canglong City. It seems that something big is going to happen in Canglong City."

Shangguan Qingmeng's eyes narrowed, and he said, "Send someone to Canglong City to find out what happened there?"

…

Somewhere on the edge of the Central Region, the leader of the Sky Snake Sect, dressed in a black robe and hidden in the darkness, was leading more than a hundred followers to confront Qian Zhenquan and Di Tian.

The Heavenly Snake Sect Leader smiled and said, "Senior Qian Zhenquan, what a coincidence that I met you here."

With Di Tian's Qian Zhen Fist, he looked at the Heavenly Snake Sect Leader with a gloomy face and said, "Heavenly Snake, you are also half a demon. Why, are you looking for trouble with me?"

“Hehehe!”

The Heavenly Snake Sect Leader smiled grimly and said, "Don't worry, Senior. I don't mean to cause you any trouble. I just saw that you were in a bad situation, so I came over to say hello and see if there's anything I can do to help you."

Qian Zhenquan said disdainfully, "Oh, really? Are you, the Heavenly Snake Sect Leader, so kind?"

The Heavenly Snake Sect Leader said in a cold voice, "Senior, you have misunderstood me. Although I am not a good person, I do respect the masters of the Demon Clan. If you need any help, I will do my best to help you."

"Oh, really?"

The Heavenly Snake Sect Leader nodded, and Qian Zhenquan seemed to dispel his doubts and said, "In that case, I see you are also going to Canglong City. How about we go together?"

The face of the Heavenly Snake Cult leader was hidden in the darkness, and a strange smile appeared on his lips as he said, "Okay, then we will join you, Senior."

After saying that, the leader of the Heavenly Snake Cult led the people of the Heavenly Snake Cult ahead, leaving Qian Zhenquan and Di Tian behind.

Di Tian asked, "The Heavenly Snake Sect Leader has always been mysterious and unpredictable. No one even knows his true identity. Although he is considered half-demon, is it true that nothing unexpected will happen if we stay with him?"

Qian Zhenquan said in a deep voice, "We are being pursued by those four guys now. It would be safer if we hide in the Sky Snake Cult's team. At worst, when those guys catch up to us, we can ask the Sky Snake Cult to cover us. Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."
