Pill King Gu He!

"So it is you, what a narrow path for enemies!" Gu He stared intently at Chu Chen, this build, this familiar Three-Point Double-Edged Blade!

With an angry voice following, Gu He waved his hand, and a soft sword appeared in his grasp, pointing straight at Chu Chen.

Drawing swords upon meeting, the two made the atmosphere here become solemn and tense.

Beside Gu He, that robust man's expression was even more serious than Gu He's. Gritting his teeth, his face flushed red. This person was precisely the expert who had entered the Snake-People Tribe with Gu He last time.

Yan Shi, one of the top Ten Grand Experts of the Jia Ma Empire, possessing Dou Wang strength and extremely rich combat experience.

In his fury, Yan Shi looked toward the purple-haired man in front of Chu Chen, feeling that his aura was inexplicably familiar, but for a moment he could not place where he had felt it.

"Do you gentlemen know each other?" Seeing them drawing swords, Jia Xingtian spoke to ask, his gaze frequently cutting between the two sides. There seemed to exist no small conflict between them.

"Know each other? It is far more than just knowing. Recall back then in the Snake-People Tribe, this fellow and his subordinates killed five Dou Ling experts of our empire, and even almost killed Wind Cleaver Feng Li!" Yan Shi said, gritting his teeth.

"Ah, this!" Hai Bodong's face instantly turned pale.

As soon as Yan Shi's words fell, whispers immediately erupted among the people below. Chu Chen was a human, yet he was actually associated with the Snake-People, and had even slaughtered Jia Ma Empire experts alongside them?

What exactly was his identity? How could Snake-People fight hand-in-hand with a human? The enmity between the Snake-People and the Jia Ma Empire had accumulated for a long time. Could it be that this Chu Chen had entered the imperial capital with other motives?

A series of thoughts flashed through everyone's minds. Quite a few people felt it was somewhat laughable; Chu Chen was merely a junior, so how could he slaughter Dou Ling, and how could he deal with experts like Gu He?

Those who had never witnessed Chu Chen's strength placed his power at the level of a Dou Shi or Da Dou Shi. Would Chu Chen have this capability? Clearly, it was difficult to make people believe.

As for Hai Bodong and the Amethyst Winged Lion King, the expressions of the two began to shift. They knew Chu Chen's strength; he truly possessed the power to cause trouble for Dou Ling or even Dou Wang experts.

If he had truly provoked the experts of the Jia Ma Empire, what decisions would these two make?

Everyone's gaze turned toward the silent Chu Chen. This chaotic question could currently only await Chu Chen's answer.

"Someone is coming, and not just a few," the Amethyst Winged Lion King said in a low voice, using a tiny sound that only Chu Chen could hear.

Glancing at the dazed Jia Xingtian, Chu Chen was much calmer, "You two have likely mistaken me for someone else. Do your words imply that I assisted the Snake-People in pointing sharp blades at you?

I do not possess such capability. The relationship between Snake-People and humans is like fire and water, so how could I achieve this?"

"Sophistry." Gu He chuckled softly. Currently situated in the imperial capital, this place was neither the desert nor the territory of the Snake-People Clan; he possessed great confidence.

Gu He's slightly hoarse voice began to echo, "Yan Shi has excellent vision. Back then, when the battle occurred in the Snake-People plaza, that human held a Three-Point Double-Edged Blade and had green pupils!"

"Green pupils?" Hai Bodong's brows furrowed as he looked at Chu Chen in surprise. Chu Chen indeed had green pupils. These two points matched perfectly. Could it truly be him?

"If you have the ability, pull down your white silk cloth in front of everyone!" Yan Shi almost roared in anger. Those Dou Ling experts were all found through his connections. Facing Chu Chen, his fury had reached its peak.

Silence, a deathly silence...

Everyone present simultaneously looked toward Chu Chen. Chu Chen had said his eyes were once injured by intense light, but currently it was midnight, and still wearing this white silk cloth was far too suspicious.

Within the Alchemist Association, those alchemists who had retreated from the vast disaster had expressions identical to the juniors. The expressions on everyone's faces froze, as if the image had been paused.

Countless blank gazes stared dazed at Chu Chen's face, their mouths slightly agape, but for a moment no one spoke, like machines with jammed parts.

After a long daze, Jia Xingtian and Nalan Jie stared intently at Chu Chen. He had heard of this matter; the death of five Dou Ling was no small loss for the Jia Ma Empire.

At that time, the fierce tiger of the army, Yan Shi, had been severely scolded by him. If not for Gu He's immense strength, Jia Xingtian would probably have scolded him as well.

But would Chu Chen possess the capability spoken of? He found it utterly unbelievable. If it were truly so, this young man was simply too terrifying.

What did he rely on? Selling out his body?

Everyone looked at Chu Chen with hearts full of doubt. What kind of person was he exactly?

Sensing the frozen atmosphere, Chu Chen suddenly smiled, "If I say all of this is a coincidence, would you believe it?"

Knowing he could not hide it, Chu Chen slowly moved his distinct-boned hand to the white silk cloth. Under everyone's gaze, he pulled it down cleanly and swiftly. After his chest heaved twice, Chu Chen slowly opened his eyes.

A pair of green pupils was revealed, carrying a surging, tempestuous aura within their calmness!

"Elder Gu He, is there some misunderstanding in this?" Nalan Yanran's brain was blank for a long while before she recovered her senses, her beautiful eyes staring at that handsome face, somewhat dazed.

"Misunderstanding? This person took advantage of the situation to take my spatial ring, as well as my medicinal pills. That spatial ring contains many precious materials, the accumulation of my many years. Do you dare to open your spatial ring?" Gu He said with a stern face.

Nalan Yanran's gaze remained fixed on Chu Chen. In her heart, she naturally did not hope that he was the "enemy" in Elder Gu He's mouth.

Chu Chen was the first young man to make her heart flutter in so many years. If he were truly the "enemy," Nalan Yanran would not know how to handle her feelings.

Chu Chen tilted his head slightly, noticing Nalan Yanran's gaze, the green light in his eyes rippling slightly, "Miss Nalan, withdraw your expectant gaze. The deaths of those people indeed have to do with me."

Nalan Yanran stumbled back a step, as if struck by a thunderbolt, utterly unable to believe her ears. All of this was far too sudden for her, "This... is there some misunderstanding in this?"

Chu Chen slowly shook his head, gripping the hilt of the Three-Point Double-Edged Blade tightly, "If you had not captured a leader of the Snake-People Tribe, not a single one of you would have been able to leave!"

"It truly is you!" Jia Xingtian's brows suddenly pressed low.

Although it was somewhat difficult to believe that a junior possessed such power, since he had personally admitted it, it seemed to be the time to conclude this matter.
