Upon hearing this, Murong Er was taken aback.
Since Huang Gong began serving as a guest advisor to the Murong family, he has always upheld the interests of the Murong family, and the Murong family has naturally given him a considerable amount of benefits in return.
This creates a win-win situation.
This was the first time Murong Er had heard Huang Gong speak such harsh words.
The only highlight of this young man named "Chen Dachuan" is probably that he is a formation master, right? And he is only a low-level formation master. No matter how powerful he is, he should not have made Huang Gong say such a thing, even though formation masters are very scarce in the Southern Kingdom.
"Your Majesty, this matter originated from my Murong family, and I will definitely investigate it thoroughly. This person must be imprisoned now!" Murong Er said through gritted teeth.
Huang Gong frowned. This Murong Er was really asking for trouble. It was clear that he had been too nice to him before.
Compared to trusting the soldiers of the Murong family, Huang Gong naturally preferred to trust Chen Zhou, whose soldiers had undergone rigorous training and formed a strict order.
Therefore, they will definitely hide some facts. They naturally know what should be said and what should not be said.
“Murong Er, I’m afraid this matter really can’t be decided by you,” Huang Gong said immediately.
There is absolutely no way that Huang Gong would capture Chen Zhou and hand him over to Murong Er.
This not only concerns the interests of the Southern Kingdom, but also directly affects its future.
The first place winner of the Sword Cloud Sect's grand competition—if such a genius were to become an enemy of the Southern Kingdom, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Your Majesty the Imperial Bow? What do you mean by that?" Murong Er, being an old hand, immediately retorted.
"I'm protecting this man," Huang Gong said loudly as he walked directly to Chen Zhou's side.
The sound resounded in every corner.
Everyone was shocked.
At this moment, Peng Da Deng also slowly woke up. Hearing these words, his heart was filled with excitement, and he murmured, "Good... No wonder he's my brother's fan... He has backbone... No wonder he was favored by Lord Huang Gong..."
"Shut up! If the Murong family hears this now, our Peng family is finished!" Peng Zhongdeng said warily, covering Peng Daleng's mouth with both hands to prevent him from continuing.
The Peng family is, after all, under the Murong family's control, and they cannot do anything that would harm the Murong family; this is their bottom line.
"Your Majesty, are you going to oppose my Murong family? You'd rather believe this villain than my Murong family?" Murong Er felt that his dignity as the third clan leader had been violated, and his words seemed to have little effect.
"You'll find out later." After saying that, Huang Gong used his true energy to lift Chen Zhou and make him disappear instantly.
As the two disappeared from the spot, Murong Mingjie and Murong Mingda finally breathed a sigh of relief. As powerful members of the Murong family, they had no chance of winning against Huang Gong, let alone going against Huang Gong like Murong Er.
It should be noted that, apart from the emperor, the three cultivators of the Southern Kingdom held the highest positions at this time. They represented the pinnacle of the Southern Kingdom's strength, symbolizing not only the kingdom but also serving its interests at all times.
The emperor naturally cared a great deal about such a high-level cultivator as a henchman.
This also made their status second only to the emperor.
In terms of strength, the Imperial Bow is undoubtedly far superior to the Murong family.
In terms of power, Huang Gong was in no way inferior to Murong Er.
It was only because the Murong family offered such generous terms that he joined the Murong family. Otherwise, why would a proud cultivator from the Southern Kingdom join a family as a guest elder?
Huang Gong and Chen Zhou disappeared instantly, actually using the technique of teleportation. This is something that anyone who has reached a certain level of true qi cultivation and has a certain degree of mastery over true qi can do.
Not only did Huang Gong accomplish this, but he could also teleport Chen Zhou with him, demonstrating the terrifying power he possessed.
"Report this to the emperor immediately! This matter is not over! I, Murong Er, have never suffered such humiliation!" Murong Er said fiercely, looking at the disappearing golden true energy.
At this point, the Peng family compound was in complete disarray.
The Peng family, enraged by Murong Er's anger, is likely in dire straits; it all depends on the fate of Peng Da Deng and Peng Zhong Deng.
Huang Gong teleported Chen Zhou to a secluded alley. This alley was usually deserted, dark, and full of potholes.
"If I'm not mistaken, your name isn't actually Chen Dachuan, is it?" Huang Gong asked directly after looking at Chen Zhou.
Chen Zhou couldn't escape this question, but based on the current situation, he should be safe for the time being.
"Yes," Chen Zhou replied affirmatively.
"Chen Zhou, the chief disciple of the Sword Cloud Sect who was just announced a few days ago?" Huang Gong said with interest.
The chief disciple?
Chen Zhou himself was unaware that he had such a title.
"Judging from your expression, it seems you don't know. As the first place winner of this year's Sword Cloud Sect competition, the Sword Cloud Sect has exceptionally appointed you as its chief disciple. They already announced this to the world a few days ago," Huang Gong answered Chen Zhou's question.
Chen Zhou nodded. He hadn't heard from the Sword Cloud Sect for a long time, so it was normal that he didn't know about it.
"That is indeed me," Chen Zhou replied.
"Why didn't you stay in the comfort zone of the Sword Cloud Sect? What are you doing running out here?" Seeing that Chen Zhou answered honestly, Huang Gong simply asked directly without beating around the bush.
"Experience," Chen Zhou replied quickly.
Lying requires speed; you can't hesitate, or you'll be caught.
"Your so-called training is to beat up all the strongmen in the Southern Kingdom? In your name, Chen Da Chuan?" Huang Gong said with a half-smile.
"I will make the name Chen Dachuan resound throughout the South," Chen Zhou said, going with the flow.
"If it weren't for me just now, you'd probably be in jail by now. Is this also within the scope of your training?" Huang Gong continued to ask with interest.
"This really doesn't belong to you. Your appearance has disrupted my plans," Chen Zhou said, feigning honesty.
"Hahahaha! What an interesting young man! His strength is not bad either. Would you like to come with me to the palace?"
Hearing this, Chen Zhou hesitated, unable to understand what the imperial bow meant.
Chen Zhou was unsure whether this trip to the palace would be dangerous or a life-or-death situation.
I suddenly hesitated.
Entering the palace means you'll be able to see Jiang Ying.
Chen Zhou hadn't seen his junior sister for a long time, and now that he had the chance to see her, he agreed without hesitation.
"It is my honor."
Chen Zhou and Huang Gong looked at each other and spoke, their eyes gleaming with an unusual light.
Even if the journey is dangerous, Chen Zhou is determined to take the plunge.
