Chapter 107: Is Qian Renxue Confessing? Chen Xin Attacks Chu Chen
"It's been four years; you seem to have changed a lot."
Hearing these words from Chu Chen, Qian Renxue suddenly felt that Chu Chen seemed somewhat different from four years ago.
His eyes were filled with a sense of vicissitudes.
He was clearly still just a teenager, so why did it seem as if he had experienced a hundred years?
Chu Chen smiled lightly and said nothing more.
Over these past four years, he had almost walked alone across that vast and boundless land of the Dragon Valley, a scene of devastation filled with nothing but bones.
His heart had been greatly shaken!
As he ventured deep into it, flashes of the Dragon Clan's glorious past seemed to pass before his eyes, along with the moment of their withering and fall, scenes interweaving into an incredibly magnificent tableau.
Even though it was only a short four years, it left Chu Chen's eyes filled with vicissitudes, staying alone in that space...
The only thing accompanying him was loneliness.
"Tell me about yourself; these days of living undercover must not have been easy, right?"
Chu Chen shifted the topic to Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue smiled, but her smile was bitter.
"In fact, sometimes I wonder, am I truly Xue Qinghe, or am I Qian Renxue... I think I owe an explanation for these nearly twenty years of undercover life."
She suddenly turned her head, her gaze soft as she said, "You know my plan, so... will you stop me?"
"If I wanted to stop you, I would have already exposed you, and your plan would have already been affected."
Chu Chen lay down on the grass nearby.
He did not judge Qian Renxue's actions.
This was Spirit Hall's infiltration operation against the two great Empires; he did not care who won or lost, even if Qian Renxue seized the political power of the Heaven Dou Empire, or if she failed and returned...
It seemed to have little impact on Chu Chen himself.
"Then what if I... wanted to ask for your help?"
"Or rather, are you willing to stand by my side...?"
Under the moonlight, a faint smile hung on the corners of Qian Renxue's mouth; her tone carried a hint of testing and a hint of hope.
What is this?
A confession?!
"Why can't it be you standing by my side?"
Chu Chen asked in return.
"Is there a difference?"
Qian Renxue seemed to understand something, and the smile on her pretty face grew brighter; she did not stay there for too long.
As time passed.
Her plan to slowly poison Emperor Xue Ye had already begun; it could be said that this period of time was likely her busiest moment.
There could not be even the slightest mistake!
"Chu Chen, I must go, see you next time."
She stood up, and before she had taken a few steps, she paused.
"Speaking of which... Dugu Bo seems to have noticed something unusual recently, perhaps he has caught some leverage on me, which is quite troubling."
Chu Chen was taken aback.
He knew that Dugu Bo had already noticed something unusual.
However, he was currently still on Chu Chen's side, and perhaps he had not yet had much contact with the affairs of the Imperial Family.
After leaving these words, Qian Renxue continued: "For these past four years, Blue Silver City has been doing well, and it has always belonged to the Heaven Dou Empire."
"Thank you."
Chu Chen thanked Qian Renxue.
Come to think of it... he had been a bit remiss, but now that his strength had improved and he possessed the power to protect himself, if he had time, he should return to Blue Silver City.
...
Returning to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Chu Chen met Dugu Bo.
The latter had a mysterious look on his face, pulling Chu Chen aside and speaking quietly.
"Chu Chen, I think there is something wrong with Xue Qinghe..."
Sure enough, what he was talking about was the problem with Xue Qinghe that he had discovered.
"Let's hear it."
Chu Chen asked curiously.
Thus, Dugu Bo told Chu Chen about some things he had gathered, though they were all superficial matters.
But when most of them were gathered together, they possessed a certain directionality.
Dugu Bo's suspicions were not without reason, but naturally, he could not rush to a conclusion right now.
"Old Poison, when did you become so concerned about the affairs of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family?"
Chu Chen asked with a smile.
"It's not that I want to meddle, it's just that I've always stayed in the Heaven Dou Empire, so occasionally I come into contact with some things."
"I can't be bothered to care about the Imperial Family's affairs."
Dugu Bo waved his hand impatiently.
"I'm telling you because your relationship with him is unusual; if this person has problems, you must be careful when interacting with him."
"A guy with such deep schemes... you never know when he might harm you."
Hearing that Dugu Bo was worried about him.
Chu Chen laughed, signaling Dugu Bo not to worry.
At this time, the sky was gradually brightening.
Chu Chen had just finished his conversation with Dugu Bo, and having not returned for four years, Chu Chen also planned to go back to Emperor Soul Village to take a look.
Dugu Bo did not follow!
He also knew that behind Chu Chen there was the existence of Di Tian, so he was relieved to let Chu Chen act alone.
"Hehe, you brat, you shouldn't need this old man's protection anymore, right."
"After all, you still have that terrifying Senior behind you."
Dugu Bo gave a wicked smile, his expression entirely cheeky.
Four years had passed, and his Soul Power had reached level 96, enough to be called a powerhouse; being able to take this step also proved that he truly had the potential to step into level 99.
...
When there was still some distance to Emperor Soul Village.
Chu Chen passed by a dense forest, but suddenly an incomparably sharp aura burst forth, descending from the sky; it was a pure Sword Intent!
"Shhh—!"
The sword light was piercing, stirring the wind and clouds, and even the space was trembling.
Chu Chen's expression hardened, and he used his Soul Bone ability Teleportation, and then the blue-gold life energy instantly detonated in the air!
The moment the life energy collided with the sword light in the air, it triggered a huge explosion.
The person who made the move was dressed in a black robe.
He had completely hidden his identity, but just by feeling such a domineering Sword Intent, Dugu Bo and Chu Chen both knew who it was.
"The person capable of possessing such a domineering Sword Intent."
"I think there is only one."
Chu Chen stared directly at the person in the black robe in the air who had swung the sword; endless Sword Intent swirled around his body.
The Sword Intent was continuous and incomparably mighty!
"Hiding and covering up, this is not the style of the dignified Sword Douluo."
Chu Chen sneered; he had recognized the person's identity.
He also knew the reason why the latter was hiding his identity; this was perhaps just a personal grudge, and not representing the forces and Sects involved behind both parties.
But Chu Chen did not care about these things.
"It was you who hurt the little princess of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
Seeing that his identity was exposed, Chen Xin directly removed his black robe, regarding Chu Chen's previous act of seriously injuring Ning Rongrong.
He felt extremely angry!
Now that his identity was exposed, the killing intent in his eyes grew even more intense, and the Seven Kill Sword whipped up a violent wind, filled with brilliant sword light.
"Although that person exists behind him... I must take the risk and kill him."
