And he couldn't think of any good method for a while.
He considered kidnapping Chen Yuan's friends, but it seemed this person had no friends in the Capital, only a few subordinates, which alone weren't enough to lure Chen Yuan out of the city.
He had meticulously learned about Chen Yuan, knowing his nature was cold and calculating, always putting interests first. Despite his reputation for wisdom across the world, he knew most of it was exaggerated.
Chen Yuan was not that noble.
He didn't dare to cause too much commotion here, lest something went wrong.
Just as he was preparing to wait patiently for Chen Yuan to show a flaw, the otherwise indifferent clan leader Xiang Qianqiu personally sent a message, ordering him to return to the clan within seven days or bear the consequences.
This inexplicably fueled a bit of anger within him, thinking, wasn't it because your son Xiang Qianqiu died that you didn't care at all, even after all the efforts to establish Lingtian as the Young Clan Chief!
But Xiang Qianqiu's power and assertiveness were evident throughout the Xiang Family, and he didn't dare to defy it. Anxious, he came up with a simple plan.
He intended to lure Chen Yuan out of the city.
Sometimes, the simpler the method, the more effective it is.
However, Xiang Qianfeng couldn't be entirely sure Chen Yuan would fall into the trap and could only pray silently; if he missed this opportunity, who knows when the next one would be.
From what he knew, just a few days ago, Chen Yuan defeated two veteran Primordial Spirit experts from the Heavenly Patrol Bureau in less than a quarter of an hour, making quite a name for himself.
This kind of strength had startled him somewhat. After all, it had only been a month since Chen Yuan broke through Yang Transformation.
If given more time to grow, next time, who knows who would be the hunter and who the hunted.
He silently recited in his heart, Chen Yuan must leave the city.
Otherwise, the plan to kill Chen Yuan would have to be temporarily shelved.
Xiang Qianqiu would not let him wantonly expose the Xiang Family's movements, and he didn't know what exactly the harsh summon was for.
He could only take a risk!
"Bang!"
He placed the cup heavily on the table, casually laid down a Primordial Crystal, took a deep breath, and finally glanced in the direction of the Duke Wu'an Mansion.
Preparing to wait at the location described in the Jade Talisman.
Give it two days; if the opponent doesn't come, he will leave.
Duke Wu'an Mansion.
Chen Yuan sank his Divine Thought into the Jade Pendant, and a series of dignified voices slowly echoed:
"At a quarter past You hour today, forty miles south of Divine Capital City, I will be waiting for you at the heart of Qingjiang Lake; the matter is of great importance, you must come."
'Qingjiang Lake, quarter past You hour, a matter of importance....'
Considering the voice echoing from the Jade Pendant, Chen Yuan furrowed his brows and murmured:
"Playing tricks!"
If there were truly a matter to discuss, or if one held no malice towards him, there was no need for such elaborate measures; they could meet directly at the Marquis Mansion. But this person insisted on such complexity, indicating there must be a problem.
Moreover, Chen Yuan did not have many friends, and those truly worth trusting were only a few from the Taoist Divine Palace. They all had Heavenly Books, capable of transmitting sound over vast distances, rendering this thing unnecessary.
Thus, after brief consideration, he judged that this person was likely an enemy rather than a friend.
Luring him out of the city might imply some scheme.
Originally, Chen Yuan thought of ignoring the message and was about to crush the Jade Talisman, pretending he didn't know, but a sudden inexplicable tremor flashed within his heart.
Making him pause in his intention to crush the Jade Talisman.
He hadn't encountered a child of Qi Fortune for a long time, and based on past experiences, the child of Qi Fortune would either actively or passively cross paths with him.
So, this time....could it be?
A gleam shone in Chen Yuan's eyes, thinking of this possibility.
Even though it's merely a sliver of hope, Chen Yuan still didn't want to miss it, otherwise, if this person were indeed endowed with Qi Fortune, missing would be very regretful.
Go!
Chen Yuan's thoughts swirled, immediately settling on this intent.
However, certainly, he needed to make some preparations before he went.
After all, those trying to lure him out must possess superior strength compared to him, or have better-prepared tactics. Rushing out would be somewhat perilous.
He absolutely had no need to take such a risk.
The first reaction Chen Yuan had was to prepare to awaken the senior Moluo; the other party had been dormant for a month, perhaps now should have recovered somewhat, right?
As long as Moluo was around, he would have immense confidence.
"Senior, Senior...."
Chen Yuan's Divine Thought surged into the Emperor Slaughter Saber, preparing to awaken him.
Of course, if Moluo truly didn't respond, he still had other methods; this was the Capital, after all, and he was almost a high-tier officer within the Heavenly Patrol Bureau.
He could definitely bring along a few Divine Envoys from the Heavenly Patrol Bureau.
If worse comes to worst, they could gang up on that guy; as long as a true monarch wasn't present, no one could turn the sky upside down.
This was merely a worst-case scenario because matters concerning Qi Fortune were major and shouldn't be noticed by others. Moreover, if the other side turned out to be a friend rather than a foe, it wouldn't be very appropriate either.
He also had some acquaintance with the old Tianxu Taoist from the Qingyun Temple, and asking for a favor likely wouldn't be difficult, but that was a middle ground option, and whether that old head was worthy of trust was still uncertain.
He might be able to detect his abnormality.
The best solution would be Asura True Monarch coming online to resolve everything.
Shortly, as Chen Yuan was prepared to give up, contemplating whether to take the middle-ground approach or the worst-case scenario, the Emperor Slaughter Saber finally showed signs of change, emitting a faint glow.
"What is it?"
Moluo's condition seemed somewhat off, answering coldly.
Chen Yuan pondered for a moment but decided to convey his wish truthfully, hoping to borrow some power, although from the looks of it, Moluo appeared to be in a magic phase.
"Don't disturb my cultivation, take the power."
Moluo's indifferent voice sounded, with a ghostly light rising from the Emperor Slaughter Saber, landing on Chen Yuan's brow, forming a deep and uncanny Divine Mark, which soon merged into his flesh and vanished without a trace.
"Thank you, Senior."
Chen Yuan promptly expressed his gratitude.
Yet, Moluo ignored him, sinking back into silence.
Touching his forehead and feeling the sealed power within, Chen Yuan estimated that even if a strong true monarch came, he might not lack the power to fight.
Tsk... Qi Fortune, hopefully, it's you!
