Peerless Dragon Sovereign-Chapter 575: Fifth Elder, Zhuge Yun

Arriving at Chen Dou’s residence, the feast was immediately set up.

Chu Nan and Chen Dou sat opposite each other, both enjoying the delicacies with their mouths, but their minds were constantly shifting.

Chen Dou stared at Chu Nan, his eyes occasionally showing hesitation, while Chu Nan was contemplating whether to use the Soul Enslavement Technique on Chen Dou right now.

Vice Hall Master Chen Dou is the Vice Hall Master of the Blood Demon Hall and isn’t aligned with Jiang Chou.

Chu Nan thought that Chen Dou might have strength different from Jiang Chou behind him; maybe through him, he could reach other powerful martial artists of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall.

Compared to extracting information by force after combat, using the Soul Enslavement Technique to make Chen Dou his slave was simpler and more straightforward.

But unfortunately, there were martial artists around Chen Dou, and Chu Nan didn’t want to draw attention by killing or waste the Enslavement Mark on unnecessary people for now.

Soon, things took a turn; Chen Dou mysteriously made the surrounding martial artists leave, then said to Chu Nan, "Mo Feng, you’ve just arrived. Have you heard of the fall of the Ninth Palace Master, Hai Wujie?"

Hearing this, Chu Nan couldn’t help but curve a smile at the corner of his mouth. Chen Dou’s objective was exactly as he thought.

Now, besides the Main Hall of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall about to open, the biggest issue was the vacancy of the Ninth Branch Hall’s Hall Master.

With Hai Wujie’s death, countless people had set their sights on that position. While Jiang Chou was supporting the Hall Master of the Blood Corpse Hall, Chen Dou, who opposed Jiang Chou, was likely to support another powerful figure.

"I heard the Hall Master mention this, but my cultivation is too low to get involved." Chu Nan sighed helplessly, shaking his head.

Chen Dou also let out a knowing smile, then said, "What if you had the chance to get involved?"

Chu Nan’s eyes slightly widened, showing an incredulous expression, then asked in surprise, "With my mere Divine Illumination Realm cultivation, do I really have the qualification to participate in such a significant matter as competing for the Ninth Palace Master’s position?"

Chen Dou straightened his body; though just around three feet tall, he felt quite grand, and said, "Of course, as long as you are willing to cooperate with me, you can have the achievement of aiding a dragon; in the future, you can at least get a Vice Hall Master position!"

The position of Vice Hall Master was not a low position in the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall. He believed that Mo Feng, who was just of the Divine Illumination Realm, would be tempted.

Chu Nan scratched his head anxiously and immediately asked eagerly, "Vice Hall Master Chen Dou, is what you’re saying true?"

"Of course." Chen Dou patted his chest, then said, "But the person I support isn’t the same as the one Jiang Chou supports."

After saying this, Chen Dou stared intently at Chu Nan, wanting to see any changes in his expression.

Chu Nan was brought in personally by Jiang Chou and taken good care of. In a sense, he was a direct subordinate of Jiang Chou.

But because of this, Chen Dou planned to win Mo Feng over while he was still unfamiliar with the Blood Demon Hall, to become an informant by Jiang Chou’s side, monitoring him constantly.

Sure enough, Chu Nan showed a hesitant expression and said, "Jiang Chou is the benefactor who brought me into the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall; how can I betray him?"

Seeing that Chu Nan didn’t leave angrily after hearing his words, Chen Dou immediately realized there was hope in this matter. He then said, "Repay kindness later, for now, we need to consider ourselves."

"The Hall Master of the Blood Corpse Hall is indeed powerful, but with his background and experience, he has no qualification or ability to become the Ninth Palace Master."

"Why follow Jiang Chou and pursue someone doomed to fail?"

"Think about it, Zhao Shibang is, after all, a Sixth Heavenly Martial Artist. Even if he fails to compete for the Ninth Palace Master, he remains a pillar of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, capable of becoming an elder anytime, with the qualification to fight and even more ability to protect himself."

"But you and Jiang Chou, as his supporters, are weak in strength and small in background; if Zhao Shibang fails, he has no way to allow you to survive in front of the new Ninth Palace Master."

"This is not just for ourselves, but also to save Jiang Chou~"

Chen Dou sincerely advised, explaining the stakes.

Chu Nan’s eyes lit up, not faking it; he guessed that behind Chen Dou might be someone with more background and strength than Zhao Shibang!

"The Vice Hall Master makes sense; so who do you want me to support?"

Chen Dou raised five fingers and said, "The Five Elders of Desolate Ancient City, Zhuge Yun!"

"His cultivation has reached the late stage of the Sixth Heaven, not only stronger than Zhao Shibang but also comparable to the previous Ninth Palace Master, Hai Wujie."

"He is the most potent candidate for the Ninth Palace Master fight; supporting him is far more stable than supporting Zhao Shibang."

Standing beside Chu Nan, Chen Dou persuaded, "You don’t need to harm Jiang Chou. Just find a chance to inform me of all of Jiang Chou’s actions, and the Five Elders will remember your contribution."

"At that time, I’ll be the Hall Master, and you’ll be the Vice Hall Master!"

Chu Nan frowned; if it were only this, then Zhuge Yun’s value was still not much different from Zhao Shibang.

He showed a thoughtful expression, then said, "Though the Five Elders are strong, the Hall Master of the Blood Corpse Hall is not weak either; they are equally matched. I have no reason to betray Hall Master Jiang Chou."

Chu Nan’s meaning was straightforward: he was telling Chen Dou that if he wanted his help, he needed to show more of the Five Elders’ strength.

"It seems this person isn’t dumb~" Chen Dou inwardly cursed, then said, "Zhao Shibang is a lone wolf, while behind the Five Elders stands a true Hall Master!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Nan’s body trembled, thinking he finally caught a big fish!

So he eagerly asked, "Then who is the supporter behind the Five Elders?"

But at this point, Chen Dou pretended to be mysterious, waving his hand like he wasn’t willing to tell Chu Nan, and said, "I can’t tell you now. Once the Five Elders become the Ninth Palace Master, you’ll naturally understand."

Having said this, Chen Dou returned to his seat, awaiting Chu Nan’s response.

He was ready: today’s conversation could not get out. If Chu Nan agreed, all would be well. If not, Chu Nan wouldn’t leave here.

Being at the peak of the Fifth Layer of the Cloud Sea realm, he was confident that after killing Chu Nan, Jiang Chou wouldn’t find out.

Even if he did find out, Jiang Chou would have no way to deal with it.

To Chen Dou’s surprise, Chu Nan suddenly opened his palm, smiling, and said, "Vice Hall Master, take a look at this."

Hmm?

Chen Dou was puzzled, straightened up with a curious look, and then saw a mark filled with the aura of a soul.

Though he didn’t know what it was, Chen Dou’s soul involuntarily trembled, making him instinctively feel danger and immediately realize that Chu Nan had come with ill intentions too.

"Bastard!"

Chen Dou cursed inwardly, attempting to distance himself from Chu Nan immediately.

Boom!

As a result, Chu Nan burst out his cultivation directly in the room, and the terrifying aura erupted like a volcano, sweeping towards Chen Dou in an instant, engulfing him in the blink of an eye.

Chen Dou felt he was facing heavenly power, suddenly feeling like he was facing Zhuge Yun, the Five Elders, in front of Chu Nan.
