For over a month, Qin Chen had been staying in the Great Wei Dynasty's royal palace, and Cold Pugang and the others had no way to take action.
Now, upon hearing that Qin Chen had actually left the royal city, they immediately showed wild joy.
As long as they eliminated Qin Chen, the Chen Di Pavilion would become masterless, and at that time, the Great Wei Dynasty would be destroyed by the Great Zhou Dynasty, and everything from the Chen Di Pavilion would fall into their hands.
However, what made Cold Pugang and the others suspicious was, what was Qin Chen doing leaving the royal city at this time?
"That kid knows we hate him to the bone, yet he suddenly leaves the royal city at such a time. Could it be a trap?"
Wu Chengfeng's gaze sharpened as he couldn't help but speak.
Yan Wujie and the others also narrowed their pupils and nodded.
Qin Chen's sudden departure was indeed somewhat strange.
Having survived for this long and become a Martial King, they were certainly not reckless, and their thoughts were extremely meticulous; they were not willing to take risks lightly.
"You all are thinking too much, right? That Qin Chen is merely a small martial artist, what sort of scheme could he have?" Cold Pugang scoffed disdainfully.
"That Qin Chen is certainly nothing to worry about, but the Liu family is exceptional." Yan Wujie said solemnly: "The royal family’s Liu Tai is incredibly powerful and cannot be underestimated."
"That indeed is a problem." Cold Pugang's face turned grim.
His Cold family alliance possessed four Martial Kings; even though the royal family had two experts, Liu Tai and Fu Xingcheng, they actually did not care.
After all, although Liu Tai was strong, it was extremely difficult for him to deal with all four of them in conjunction with Fu Xingcheng.
However, even if Liu Tai couldn't kill them, if the royal family caught hold of some incriminating evidence and targeted their Cold family, then the Cold family would still be unable to withstand it.
Currently, the Cold family was already in a dire situation, and if they were further suppressed by the royal family, it might not be long before they fell apart.
"With the four of us, we are enough to contend with the royal family, but it's still not enough. If we add the Mo family, then we will be completely secure."
Within the royal city, there were three major families: the Cold family, the Mo family, and the Wu family. Among them, the Mo family was only slightly weaker than the Cold family, and even ranked above the Wu family.
"That old thing Mo Tianming is quite cunning. I have tried to pull him in a few times, but he has never easily agreed. This time, I hinted at him again, but until now, that old thing still hasn't responded." Cold Pugang said with an ugly expression, coldly snorting: "Such a stubborn person, if the Great Zhou Dynasty destroys the royal city, he will have a hard time."
"Ancestor, the Mo family's Mo Tianming has come to pay a visit."
At that moment, an elder from the Cold family suddenly came to report.
"Mo Tianming is here?"
Cold Pugang and the others were stunned, and it was indeed as they had just mentioned, he came.
"What is Mo Tianming doing here at this time? Could it be that he has agreed?" Cold Pugang's eyes lit up, "Hurry and invite him in."
"Cold Pugang, long time no see."
Mo Tianming was an elderly man dressed in a gray robe with a goatee. As soon as he entered, he clasped his hands towards Cold Pugang.
At this time, only Cold Pugang remained, while Yan Wujie and the others, unsure of Mo Tianming's intention, had already hidden in the inner room.
"Mo Ancestor, you are truly a rare guest. What brings you here today?" Cold Pugang waved his hand to invite him to sit down, smiling.
Mo Tianming looked at Cold Pugang noncommittally, then shifted his gaze to the room behind him: "If I’m not mistaken, Wu Chengfeng, Yan Wujie, and Yue Lengchan are also here, since everyone is present, why hide?"
"Hahaha, Mo Ancestor, you have sharp eyes."
Upon realizing they had been exposed, Yan Wujie and the others immediately laughed and walked out.
