Wei Chen watched as the large army approached, excitement bubbling within him. After waiting for so long and being dissuaded by so many, the main force had finally arrived!
"Privy Hall, ha ha, you deserve your misfortune. Just when I need to expand my influence and set an example, you show up wanting to kill me. Even just thinking about it is a crime!"
"If I don’t kill you, how can I, Wei Chen, continue to survive in the Southern Ming Divine Domain?"
"You’ve thrown yourselves into the line of fire. Even if you no longer have a reason to kill me, I won’t let you go."
Wei Chen had intended to establish his authority in the Southern Ming Divine Domain thoroughly. From now on, no one would dare trouble him again, making everything he did much easier. Moreover, the people he brought with him—Taihao God King, Shaohuang God King, Donghua Sword Immortal, Sui Huang, Great Merchant God King, Agricultural Sovereign, and Zhuanxu—needed legitimate identities to navigate the world. Privy Hall was the perfect organization for that.
Just think about it: what could be more enjoyable than Wei Chen becoming the Privy Council Master himself? The seven individuals he brought along could serve as Vice Hall Masters and Elders. Such positions were highly coveted and reliable.
Wei Chen had already established himself in the Southern Ming Divine Domain, but Taihao God King, Shaohuang God King, Donghua Sword Immortal, Sui Huang, Great Merchant God King, Agricultural Sovereign, and Zhuanxu had not yet done so. The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming was already aware of this situation; there was no need to hide anything anymore. Granting identities to Taihao God King, Shaohuang God King, Donghua Sword Immortal, Sui Huang, Great Merchant God King, Agricultural Sovereign, and Zhuanxu was not only Wei Chen’s aspiration but also theirs.
Whether for himself or to provide better living conditions for Taihao God King, Shaohuang God King, Donghua Sword Immortal, Sui Huang, Great Merchant God King, Agricultural Sovereign, and Zhuanxu in the Southern Ming Divine Domain, dealing with Privy Hall was the best course of action.
Wei Chen didn’t harbor any inexplicable desire to confront Privy Hall. If it were merely because Privy Hall wanted him dead, they would have already acted by now; there was no deep-seated enmity between them. However, since Privy Hall had delivered such a great opportunity right to his doorstep, Wei Chen naturally wouldn’t let it slip away.
As he observed the approaching Privy Hall army drawing nearer, a sense of tension began to creep in. Surely those from Privy Hall wouldn’t foolishly charge into his formation?
Sure enough, when they were about two miles away from Wei Chen, the Privy Hall army came to a halt and looked at him from afar.
Leading the charge was the Privy Council Master.
The Privy Council Master called out to Wei Chen: "Are you Wei Chen?"
The voice was loud but lacked confidence.
The strong often carry a cold smile, their voices capable of spreading far and wide. Yet the Privy Council Master, relying on bluster to intimidate, is merely posturing.
This behavior is what Wei Chen despises the most.
Wei Chen said calmly, "Is there any point in asking a question you already know the answer to? Privy Council Master, you say you want to kill me, yet here I stand, waiting for you. No one from below will intervene; if you want to kill me, then I will take you down. That's how simple it is for me, Wei Chen. If you have the guts, come forward and try. I will face you alone, without seeking help."
His words ignited the passion of those around Azure Green Pool in an instant.
Without needing many words, he stood there alone, facing the Privy Council Master and his large army. His courage and demeanor captured the respect of countless onlookers.
"Brother Wei Chen, you're amazing! To stand against the entire Privy Hall by yourself is a rare sight in this world!"
"Go for it, Brother Wei Chen! We may not be able to help much, but we are all supporting you!"
"Such a person is a true man!"
Indeed, no matter where one is, people admire heroes.
At this moment, Wei Chen was not just a hero; he was a lone hero.
Facing half of the strong from Privy Hall without flinching and even mocking them showed such bravery that regardless of the outcome this time, Wei Chen had already won in terms of reputation. He earned the respect of all the strong within the Southern Ming Divine Domain.
It was a sure win.
Hearing Wei Chen's words, Yang Jian from Duke Sui's Residence wore an even more complex expression. Regret filled him; if only he had treated Wei Chen better back at Duke Sui's Residence, things wouldn't have turned out like this. The most outstanding descendant in the history of Duke Sui's Residence and the Wei Family was Wei Chen, but at this moment, he was no longer just Wei Chen from Duke Sui's Residence.
At the Temple of Martial Arts, emotions ran high. Excitement surged as eager and fervent eyes were fixed on Wei Chen. In their hearts echoed a single phrase: "Wei Chen, go for it!"
At the Southern Ming Divine Palace, aside from the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, everyone else, including the formidable Elder Li, genuinely admired Wei Chen. Wei Chen had won the hearts of the Southern Ming Divine Palace, the Temple of Martial Arts, the Thunder Sword Sect, and the influential figures among them.
Such a heroic figure, no matter where he was, stood tall as a man!
Although it was clear to everyone that Wei Chen had prepared a formation and was using provocation against the Privy Council Master while within it, could those from the Privy Hall really refuse him despite knowing this?
People care about their reputation; they also wanted to save face. In this world, one can lack everything but cannot lack face.
Major forces like the Privy Hall needed face even more.
The Taihao God King, Shaohuang God King, Donghua Sword Immortal, Sui Huang, Great Merchant God King, Agricultural Sovereign, and Zhuanxu gazed at Wei Chen with fervent expressions. At that moment, Wei Chen's demeanor perfectly matched everyone's image of a hero.
They all understood that Wei Chen's intention to confront the Privy Hall was to grant them seven a legitimate identity to walk openly in the Southern Ming Divine Domain and throughout the Endless Divine Realm.
This kind of identity was something that Taihao God King, Shaohuang God King, Donghua Sword Immortal, Sui Huang, Great Merchant God King, Agricultural Sovereign, and Zhuanxu had longed for.
Deep down, they were profoundly grateful to Wei Chen.
They all wanted to step in and help, but Wei Chen had made it clear that they could only watch.
From the current situation, it seemed that Wei Chen was not in any danger; rather, it was the people from the Privy Hall who appeared shaken.
The Privy Council Master looked at Wei Chen from a distance and said, "Wei Chenyu, we have no enmity between us. Perhaps you have heard some rumors before; however, those things are just temporary goals. As of now, we in the Privy Hall no longer hold such goals. You can open your heart and be friends with us."
"Ah, sorry about that. I'm a bit peculiar; if someone wants to kill me—even if it's just a thought in their mind—I will pursue it to the end if I find out. I won't allow anyone who has ever thought of killing me to live comfortably under the sun."
Wei Chen paused for a few seconds before continuing: "You from the Privy Hall once wanted to kill me; although that thought may have faded now, it has already taken root in your hearts. We have no grievances or enmities between us; yet you could harbor such thoughts. How could I possibly let you go?"
"In due time, you will want to kill me as well. There are simply too many people who can't stand me."
Wei Chen's words came out in a rapid-fire manner, leaving everyone from Privy Hall speechless. Could it really be played this way?
Could they not even think about it?
The Privy Council Master was unsure of what cards Wei Chen held. He didn't know if Wei Chen had made arrangements with the Temple of Martial Arts and Duke Sui's Residence to deal with Privy Hall together. Therefore, he chose not to get angry for the moment. Instead, he spoke gently and amiably, saying, "Wei Chenyu, regardless of the past, that is all behind us. We can be friends. Privy Hall will keep our distance from you in the future. What do you think? We are all here in the Eastern Forest to compete for the Treasure. Since the Treasure has yet to be unearthed, if we fight now, we will all suffer losses when it finally appears."
"You are mistaken." Wei Chen raised his hand and pointed a middle finger at the Privy Council Master, saying fiercely, "You are completely wrong! The emergence of the Treasure from Azure Green Pool is our business and has nothing to do with you at Privy Hall. You are about to die; don't even think about the Treasure within Azure Green Pool—it's a waste of effort."
Upon hearing this, everyone in Privy Hall was extremely enraged. So they were really going to fight?
The Privy Council Master shouted angrily, "Wei Chenzi, do you really think that relying on your formations will allow you to defeat so many of us?"
"I don't think that way." Wei Chen shook his head, a cruel smile appearing on his face as he said, "What I think is to kill you."
Such dominance!
Wei Chen's words ignited the atmosphere in the room; everyone looked at him with admiration. Taihao God King, Shaohuang God King, Donghua Sword Immortal, Sui Huang, Great Merchant God King, Agricultural Sovereign, and Zhuanxu—all seven of them felt the same way. Coming from the Ancient World, they were all part of one family and desperately needed a leader in a place like Endless Divine Realm. Without a doubt, Wei Chen was that leader; even the most arrogant Shaohuang God King was submissive before him.
This was exactly the effect Wei Chen wanted.
"Enough of everything else. A man must know when to act and when not to act; show some dignity! I have set up my formation here waiting for you all. Come at me together; either I die or you die."
"This matter is my personal grudge with you; it has nothing to do with Temple of Martial Arts or anyone else!"
Wei Chen turned to look in the direction of Temple of Martial Arts Base and glanced at Taihao God King, Shaohuang God King, Donghua Sword Immortal, Sui Huang, Great Merchant God King, Agricultural Sovereign, and Zhuanxu. His eyes were filled with warning: no matter what happens, you must not intervene!
Everyone understood the look in Wei Chen's eyes; they all knew that this time, Wei Chen was serious and would not compromise.
The Privy Council Master weighed his options for a moment, feeling resolute. He refused to believe that a mere formation could handle so many people from Privy Hall! That bastard was just bluffing.
"All members of Privy Hall, go all out to kill Wei Chen, show no mercy!"
With the Privy Council Master's command, he took the lead, and the main force of Privy Hall gathered an astonishing momentum, charging at Wei Chen like a fierce tiger.
The overwhelming aura of thousands of people caused the void before them to crack under pressure!
In an instant, that incredible momentum surged forward, enveloping Wei Chen completely.
"Come on, you bunch of bastards!"
A cruel smile flashed across Wei Chen's face as he roared, shattering the oppressive aura surrounding him.
Immediately afterward, all members of Privy Hall entered the sword formation he had set up!
A great slaughter was about to begin!
