As soon as these words were spoken, the originally noisy scene instantly fell into a strange and suffocating silence.
Most of the people present showed expressions of extreme astonishment on their faces. They widened their eyes and opened their mouths slightly, unable to believe that the words they had just heard came from Chen Yan's mouth.
At this moment, Nie Xun, who was closest to Chen Yan, was suddenly stunned as if struck by lightning. He stared at Chen Yan blankly, his mind blank.
What does she mean by this?
"Chen Yan, are you crazy?!" Finally someone couldn't help but break the silence and shouted loudly.
The sound echoed above the silent empty stage, seeming particularly abrupt.
Then another person shouted: "Chen Yan, do you know what you are saying?"
"Can you represent the Tianzhou forces? Chen Yan, don't be so shameless. Do you really think we must have you?!"
Many people did not guess Chen Yan's true identity, and thought she was still stubborn and even thought she had already regarded herself as a member of the Tianzhou forces.
Nie Xun's face was full of disbelief, and her eyes were fixed on the person in front of her, as if she could see through her.
His emotions were a tangled mess, leaving him momentarily at a loss. He subconsciously raised his hand and tightly covered the burning area on his collarbone, as if this could slightly ease the turmoil in his heart.
Nie Xun opened his lips slightly, and asked with a trembling voice: "You...you are *** Chen Ke?"
Although this short sentence was spoken in a neither loud nor soft voice, most of the people present were cultivators with hearing abilities far superior to those of ordinary people, so it naturally and clearly reached their ears.
For a moment, the whole scene became silent.
Chen Yan glanced at Nie Xun lightly and opened her red lips slightly.
"yes."
These two words seemed to hit Nie Xun's heart with a tremendous force. His pupils shrank and his lips parted slightly. He was about to say something when he was interrupted by the Jidao Sect's leader's startled voice.
"Are you Chen Ke?!"
Almost everyone present was stunned, looking at Chen Yan in disbelief, still unwilling to believe that Chen Yan was Chen Ke, the leader of the Tianzhou Dynasty.
Lu Jingcheng retorted with a gloomy expression: "Impossible, you absolutely cannot be Shen Ke! You are Shen Tianhao's daughter! How could you be Shen Ke?!"
And in the next moment——
All the people from Tianzhou saluted in the direction of Chen Yan, even the leader of Qiankun Sect bowed and showed respect.
"Your Highness, we welcome you!"
These words shouted in unison were like a rolling torrent, resounding through the sky and majestic.
Everyone present widened their eyes in shock.
How is that possible?!
How could Chen Yan be the real Chen Ke?
Impossible!
But the facts are right in front of us!
At this moment, everyone in the Qiankun Sect was stunned. How did Senior Sister Shen suddenly transform into Chen Ke, the leader of the Tianzhou Dynasty?!
Then Chen Ke should be over 800 years old...
The elders of Qiankun Sect looked at their Sect Master and Elder Qi in astonishment.
Elder Qi gave them a mysterious smile.
The elders were frightened.
The leader of the Qiankun Sect said seriously, "Don't worry. After we submit to the Tianzhou forces, the Qiankun Sect will be the number one sect in the Changming Realm. No one dares to challenge it!"
"This..." Many elders looked hesitant.
The third elder Dong Zhuxue and the fourth elder Bu Feng looked at each other. Although they didn't know why Yan'er suddenly turned into Chen Ke, now they could only choose to support her.
As for the truth, we'll tell you after this matter is over.
The two of them immediately echoed the words of the Qiankun Sect's leader.
"Master, we believe in you!"
After Dong Zhuxue and Bu Feng expressed their opinions, the other elders agreed either hesitantly or firmly, and finally chose to form a united front.
Someone shouted, "Stop talking nonsense! Kill all the people from Tianzhou and Qiankun Sect!"
As the words fell, murderous intent surged in everyone's hearts, and just as they were about to take action—
Chen Yan slowly raised his eyes, his calm voice revealing a murderous intent.
"Where is the Sui army?"
“Here!”
In an instant, countless people in black clothes came from all directions of the empty platform and surrounded the entire platform.
Everyone looked up and their faces changed drastically.
At least thousands of people!
After seeing clearly that these thousands of people were from Tianzhou forces, the leaders of the major forces suddenly became a little uneasy.
"Chen Ke, you are so insidious!"
"Chen Yan, don't you think that just because you've gathered so many people, you can make us submit obediently? Dream on!"
"The Tianzhou Dynasty has already fallen. Chen Ke, why are you doing this? This will only bring disaster to the people of Sky Island!"
"Hahaha, Chen Ke, you really have a good plan, but you still underestimated the strength of our major forces! What can a mere few thousand people do to us?"
"That's right. Even if you deliberately cut off Sky Island's connection with the outside world in order to prevent us from requesting support, we will not be defeated by your Tianzhou forces!"
Chen Yan's voice was as cold as ice: "Who said that I deliberately cut off your contact with the outside world in order to prevent you from requesting support?"
As Chen Yan said this, many people changed their expressions.
Some people with sharp minds and wise brains immediately realized the deep meaning and stared at Chen Yan in horror.
What she meant by this...
It is not about stopping the people of Sky Island from asking for support from the people in Changming Realm, but about stopping the people in Changming Realm from asking for help from the people here.
The Dongfang family head's eyes widened, and he asked anxiously, "What is the current situation in the Changming Realm?"
Chen Yan stood on the stage and said calmly, "Now, the headquarters of all major forces are under the control of our Tianzhou forces."
Upon hearing this, the leaders of the major forces' expressions suddenly changed and their hearts sank.
"Absolutely impossible!" The leader of Jidao Sect was the first to refute. He found it hard to believe that the Tianzhou forces were so powerful that they could control all the major forces in such a short time.
Chen Yan raised the corners of his lips slightly, as if smiling, "Why not? The elites of all the major forces are here right now."
This statement seems to have hit the vital point of those in power in major forces.
"Except for the Jidao Sect, the Lu Family, and the Helian Family, this princess will accept the submission of any of your forces."
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other in silence.
Some forces are unwilling to become vassals of Tianzhou forces, while other forces believe that Chen Yan is insidious, cunning and untrustworthy.
The leaders of the three major forces, Jidao Sect, Lu Family, and Helian Family, saw that the situation was not good and exchanged glances. The leader of Jidao Sect spoke out, "Everyone, do you really think that relying on the Tianzhou forces alone, you can control the headquarters of all the major forces in Changming Realm? Her words are not enough. If you believe her now, she will order you to deal with us, Jidao Sect, Hengzhou Lu Family, and Helian Family. Then-"
"Who is reaping the benefits?!"
He deliberately emphasized the last sentence.
