Above Shuzhou City, Chen Yuan glanced down at Zhou Zhong, a faint murderous intent flashed in his eyes. When he tasted Zhou Ji's buns earlier, he clearly sensed that it was not good meat.

It was somewhat like the human flesh described in books.

If Xiang Qianqiu hadn't suddenly arrived, he would have revealed the truth to this person, testing his capabilities. Yet, on his own territory, he dared to be so arrogant, disregarding him completely.

He's truly courting death!

With his eyes concentrated, Chen Yuan's vast Divine Thought quickly enveloped the entire Shuzhou City area. Soon, he discovered what seemed to be a deliberate trace left by Xiang Qianqiu.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, swiftly transforming into a trail of ghostly light, and he raced into the sky after it.

...

Soon, the light cut through the sky, chasing outside Shuzhou City, approximately dozens of miles away. Chen Yuan's speed gradually slowed down, and he stood firmly in mid-air.

Opposite him, a thousand feet away, Xiang Qianqiu also looked at him with a smiling expression, showing none of the gloomy and unwilling demeanor that he had at the Goddess Palace.

"It seems I have disrupted your plans?"

The wisp of Spirit that Xiang Qianqiu released back then was not simply showing up; he also saw Chen Yuan and the silhouette beside him.

With his formidable cultivation, he couldn't fully see through the other person, who seemed like an ordinary man, but that was just a facade. He had a premonition that the person was not simple.

"Kill you, then turn back and settle it."

Chen Yuan said coldly.

"Saying this, so I am still important to you?"

Xiang Qianqiu raised an eyebrow.

"You are not important to me."

"Ha ha..."

"But without you, it's very important for me. The battle at Goddess Palace was supposed to determine our life and death, but unfortunately, you were unwilling to fight desperately. Why, are you feeling confident this time?"

"Hahaha... The defeat at Goddess Palace was not because of failure in battle. I indeed did not anticipate that you had an Earth Immortal power behind you, causing a misstep in my plan. Naturally, I was reluctant to engage in a futile fight.

As for now...."

Xiang Qianqiu took a deep breath, gazing toward the direction of Shuzhou City:

"Now that your momentum has formed, but I am in complete defeat, no strategy left, only wishing to settle the father-son feud with you, so that from now on, you don't have to worry about me anymore, and I need not concern myself with you."

"Fits my intentions perfectly."

Chen Yuan nodded.

He had long wanted to settle the feud, but unfortunately, the timing was wrong several times, and his strength was relatively weaker, allowing Xiang Qianqiu to escape with his life.

"Since both you and I have this intention, naturally, it's the best. But no matter how we are father and son, our issues are personal grievances. I think it's better not to involve too many others, what do you think?"

Xiang Qianqiu asked with a smile.

Chen Yuan shook his head:

"You think provoking me a few times will make me fall for it like a naive rookie? Since you came to my territory, knowing my intent to kill you.

You should have the awareness of being surrounded and killed."

Chen Yuan extended his right palm, suddenly gripping it into a fist. Instantly, several powerful auras erupted around, deadlock surrounding Xiang Qianqiu, sealing his escape route.

Killing Xiang Qianqiu had been Chen Yuan's top priority since returning from the Western Regions, so naturally, he had been planning from before, always waiting for the other party to make a move.

The reason for his boring walk out of the Prince Mansion was to lure him out, and all the talk earlier was just to buy time.

From the east, Chen Huaiyi slowly appeared, holding a Divine Spear, his aura connecting heaven and earth, the spear tip trembling, a cold gleam suddenly flashing:

"Crown Prince, it's time to join the late Emperor!"

Xiang Qianqiu shifted his gaze, slightly gloomy:

"Presumptuous, dare you insult the late Emperor!"

"The Xiang Family's grace and kindness, my Chen Family repaid by extermination, we owe your Xiang Family nothing anymore, why can't we speak directly? Do you still think this is the Great Chu Dynasty reborn?"

In the west, Tianxu Taoist held the Celestial Star Map, linked with stars, forming a vast net, surrounded by thirty-six Ocean Stabilizing Pearls, resembling stars:

"Hehe, please take the path, Friend Xiang."

"Hmph!" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Xiang Qianqiu snorted coldly, glanced at Tianxu Taoist.

Originally, he was expanding territories in Yang Province together with Ling Xu Taoist, but due to the forces in Yang Province being too weak, no one could match them.

Thus, after occupying most of Yang Province's territory, Chen Yuan temporarily recalled them to Shuzhou City, intending to arrange something else, now just in time.

"Amitabha, Benefactor Xiang, it's been a while." Xu Yan Monk, clothed in a sapphire monk robe, smiled broadly, his injuries mostly healed.

Though his aura wasn't as strong as Tianxu Taoist, it wasn't weak either.

"Do you also wish to act?"

Xiang Qianqiu seemed somewhat disdainful towards Xu Yan Monk, indifferent.

"Alone, I certainly cannot, but assisting from the side, perhaps I can contribute a little, forgive my impertinence, Benefactor Xiang."

"Xiang Qianqiu, haven't you always been searching for my whereabouts? Now.... I am here!" In the north stood an old man with grayish-white beard and hair.

Holding a Divine Pen, rather scholarly.

As for his identity, he was none other than the Painting Saint Wu Daozi!

Since the last battle at Purple Gold Mountain, Wu Daozi had almost disappeared from Chen Yuan's realm, but it wasn't that he really left, just retreating to heal.

At the time, he only had a broken Yang God left, his physical body destroyed, the injuries severe. And Chen Yuan used numerous precious Spiritual Objects to heal his injuries, allowing him to retreat to the mountains.
