“Chen Clan Leader, do you know why I summoned you in private?”Zhou Tianke asked with a smile.

lie was here.

Chen Yang shook his head with a serious expression.” 1 don’t know. Please tell me, Your Majesty.””

Hearing this, Zhou Tianke waved his hand. Immediately, the attendant left the side hall and closed the door.

Only Chen Yang and Zhou Tianke were left in the side hall.

After doing all this, Zhou Tianke smiled and said,””I have heard that compared to the outstanding talent of the Chen Clan Leader, the Chen Clan Leader’s intelligence is even more out of the ordinary.”

“It’s just gossip. Your Majesty, you don’t have to care.”Yang Chen said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.

“Sigh, even if it’s just gossip, you can’t completely believe it. The plan of the Chen Family Head to annihilate the Gongsun Family was a hot topic.”Zhou Tianke laughed.

Hearing this, Yang Chen was firm in his opinion. It seemed that Zhou Tianke really had something to ask him.

Immediately, Chen Yang looked at Zhou Tianke.” May 1 ask if Your Majesty has anything to ask me?””

“Chen Clan Leader is indeed intelligent. 1 do have something that I would like to ask for your opinion.”Zhou Tianke laughed.

“I’m willing to hear the details.”

“It’s like this. If there’s a person who secretly collects 20-year-old strong men, why do you think that’s the case?”Zhou Tianke asked.

Yang Chen thought for a moment and then said,”There are two possibilities. One is a death warrior, and the other is a private army.” However, compared to strength, loyalty was more important. Generally speaking, they would not choose adult men.”

“That is why I am more inclined towards a private army. Please forgive me for speaking nonsense.”

“You’re right.” Zhou Tianke’s eyes were filled with satisfaction. Then, he asked,”But what if the person who collected the adult males was the ancestor of our royal family?”

“What?”

Yang Chen’s expression changed. Damn it, how was this related to the royal family’s ancestor?

Immediately, Yang Chen hesitated and said,”This…” Perhaps he wanted to nurture a few powerful subordinates for the descendants he thought highly of.”

“This is also possible.”

Zhou Tianke seemed to believe Chen Yang’s opinion, and then he started chatting with Chen Yang.

After the atmosphere eased up, Zhou Tianke changed his tone and asked sharply,””Chen Clan Leader, let’s continue the previous topic.”

“If this collection of strong men has been going on for hundreds of years, and the age requirement is strict, not a single day can be missed, what is the possibility?”

Yang Chen felt a chill down his spine as he thought of a terrifying possibility.

In this world, if there was anyone who was extremely strict about age, it would probably be the evil cultivators!

This was because the cultivation techniques of evil cultivators were already limited. They had to strictly control the age of humans in order to extract the innate Qi suitable for their cultivation.

Could it be that the ancestor of the royal family was a heretic practitioner?

But how was this possible!

As if he could read Chen Yang’s mind, Zhou Tianke smiled and said,””I’m just making an analogy. Don’t be afraid.”

An analogy?

A dignified Human King would specially call me here just to make an analogy and joke with me?

Yang Chen didn’t believe it.

However, Zhou Tianke did seem to be joking. He started chatting with Chen Yang about other things. This conversation lasted for the time it took to brew a cup of tea.

When Chen Yang’s expression eased a little, Zhou Tianke asked again,””If I’m not joking, this matter is indeed true. My royal family’s ancestor is a heretic cultivator. What do you think 1 should do?”

“Or rather, you are me. How should you deal with this matter?”

Hearing this, Yang Chen took a deep breath. It seemed that King wouldn’t let him leave until he got an answer.

Immediately, Yang Chen made some calculations in his mind and considered all kinds of possibilities.

After the plan was completed, Yang Chen looked at Zhou Tianke,” Your Majesty, I can only give you one solution. Contact the Li family.””

“Oh? Why?” Zhou Tianke’s eyes were filled with disappointment.’Contact the Li family? I don’t need you to tell me.’

Chen Yang did not seem to notice the disappointment in Zhou Tianke’s eyes and explained,””If the Patriarch is really a heretic practitioner, then we can only contact the Li family.”

“First, it’s a matter of strength. Only the Li family or the patriarchs of the various dynasties can defeat the patriarchs who are evil cultivators.”

“However, if we contact the other empires, not only will our reputation be damaged, but those empires will also take the opportunity to demand more benefits.”

“But if we contact the Li family, the situation will be completely different.”

“Different?” Zhou Tianke looked at Chen Yang with interest.” How is it different?”

Chen Yang took a deep breath and continued,””Firstly, Da Qian is nominally a vassal of the Li family. If there is a problem in Da Qian, the Li family has the obligation to help solve it for free.”

“Secondly, in order to stabilize their rule, the Li family will also help solve it for free. It was just like how the royal family would still go to deal with the evil cultivators in Da Qian without asking for compensation.”

” Thirdly, even if the Li family needs compensation, it will only be spiritual stones and resources. They won’t covet the land of the Great Qian Dynasty like the other dynasties.”

“Fourthly, if the Li family helps, not only will we be more confident, but we can also prevent the news from being leaked.”

“Of course, the premise of all this is that the ancestor is really a heretic cultivator.”

“Hmm?”

Zhou Tianke was listening with great interest. He found that although Chen Yang’s method was old-fashioned, it did have such a convincing reason.

However, Yang Chen suddenly changed the topic and suspected that the old ancestor was not a heretic practitioner.

“Why? Could it be that there are other people who would plunder the human race so strictly according to the age requirement?” Zhou Tianke asked immediately.”

“Indeed, only evil cultivators would be so strict about the age of humans.”Yang Chen nodded and then changed the topic,” But those who plunder humans are not necessarily evil cultivators.”

“What do you mean?” Zhou Tianke frowned, unable to guess what Yang Chen was thinking.

” There’s another possibility,” Yang Chen explained.” The Patriarch isn’t a Sorcerer. He’s just working for a Sorcerer.””

“Or rather, doing business with the Sorcerers.”

“I believe in this result even more. Let’s not talk about it anymore. Just the matter of the demon tide decades ago, the ancestor had made a move in public.”

“He was fighting the Demon Emperor, but he didn’t reveal any aura of a heretic cultivator.”

“If the ancestor is really a heretic cultivator, then it’s impossible for him to hide so well in a battle of this level.”

Hearing this, Zhou Tianke remained silent. He sat quietly for a while before saying,””! actually didn’t think of this. 1 was only thinking about how to solve the problem of the ancestor being a heretic cultivator.”

“Chen Clan Leader, it’s fortunate that 1 have you. If 1 had really treated the ancestor as a heretic cultivator, I would definitely be the one in trouble.”

Thinking of this, Zhou Tianke looked at Chen Yang with some relief.

Fortunately, he had decided to ask Yang Chen for his opinion, which was why he had called Yang Chen here.

Otherwise, something big might really happen.

“I’m just guessing. The ancestor might also be a heretic cultivator, and he’s the kind of heretic cultivator who’s powerful or very good at hiding himself.”

“As for the specific situation, please make a decision, Your Majesty.”Yang Chen said..
