Chapter 537: Chapter 299 Three Heroes Divide the Dragon – Part 1_3

King Li immediately felt the pressure; these individuals mingling together were definitely conspiring something significant!

At this moment, King Ye’s heart, which had just calmed down, was raised again – each of these people was a hero of the world!

Their secret meeting meant they were surely discussing some major issue, plotting to seize a great fortune!

On the twelfth month’s eighth day, the situation in the Death Realm worsened again; the Ghost Face Realm of Da Yan began to disobey orders, causing the troops under Li Shang to decrease sharply by eight hundred men!

This plunged Li Shang, who already had few troops, into a dangerous situation once more.

On that day, Chen Qing also arrived at the Qianshan Lake of Ye Country.

Qianshan Lake has many peculiar rocks, and rowing on the lake, one can see bizarre rocks protruding from the water, with ancient pines coiling like dragons growing on them, creating a unique landscape.

Added to this is Ye Country’s rich Confucian culture, and inscribed on these rocks are many poems left by ancient poets, giving the place an even more historic air.

King Ye and Ji Ru were the first to arrive; they were the intermediaries for this meeting and also presided over it.

After a nervously busy arrangement, King Ye brought out Ye Country’s finest boat, crafted entirely from laurel wood, a veritable divine vessel.

Ji Ru, on the other hand, presented the Spiritual Wine and Immortal Fruit from Da Yan, taking care of the guests.

After a little while, Ji Ru heard Chen Qing’s hearty voice, “Feng, you indeed have a splendid presence!”

Feng Yi smiled gently and said, “I can’t compare to Prince Wen’s splendor in the Death Realm, overwhelming heroes, the tumultuous fight for kingship – it’s a pity I was born too early and missed such grand times!”

Chen Qing extended his hand, “Mr. Li, come quickly; it has been a long while since we last met.”

“Once we meet, we vow not to return unless drunk!”

Everyone boarded the boat, and King Ye introduced, “This place is called Qianshan Lake, a splendid and serene sight in Wen Country, perfect for our gathering.”

King Li, though the oldest here, kept silent. In terms of status and position, he fell far too short compared to Chen Qing, Ji Ru, Feng Yi, and Li Chonghuan.

Each of these four could represent the will of a Great Sect.

Who among them was not a world-altering hero?

King Li felt fortunate enough to participate in this gathering and know its secrets.

His heart was filled with curiosity – what exactly were these four most outstanding heroes of the generation conspiring?

Once everyone had boarded and sat down at the six tables arranged in a circle, Chen Qing immediately said, “This matter can’t be hidden from you, so I won’t conceal it – I completely control the situation in the Death Realm; as long as I am here, it cannot change.”

“As to how, that is not for you to worry about.”

Feng Yi, having received Chen Qing’s firm response, said, “Since Prince Wen has already spoken plainly, I will be honest too.”

“Last night, I divined that the fortunes of the Dragon Palace will end.”

“And it should be within these few years.”

At these words, King Li and King Ye exchanged a glance, both shaken – these four were plotting to seize the foundation of the Dragon Palace that spanned tens of thousands of years!

Li Chonghuan then casually picked up an Immortal Fruit and said, “As far as I know, there’s currently no God in the Dragon Palace, nor even anything close; there are only three True Monarchs.”

Hearing this news, Chen Qing thought to himself that he had learned some extraordinary information at this gathering, “Dragons, Phoenixes, and Qilins, all clans from the initial formation of the world. The Phoenix Clan has no descendants left, and the Qilin has retreated into the Qilin Temple to comprehend the Great Dao deeply.”

“The Dragon Clan still hold positions in the Great Sect yet inherently immoral and their virtues don’t even come close to those of the Phoenix and Qilin clans. With no powerful individuals in their clan, neither worthy in virtue nor in power – it’s truly absurd!”

“Since both of you have this intention, why don’t we do a good deed and strip the Dragon Clan of its position in the Great Sect!”

Hearing Chen Qing’s words, King Li and King Ye’s hands trembled slightly, spilling three drops of wine.

Truly, it was a gathering of heroes on Qianshan Lake, and the dragon caught in shallow waters was facing great disaster!
