Master Head of the Dragon Soul



This official was none other than Chen Zhi, the top military strategist working under Crown Prince Hua. Chen Zhi was highly intelligent and held a prestigious position, on par with Crown Prince Hua himself. Even Princess Hua Yingying, a member of the imperial family, had to show him some respect."

Chen Zhi was well aware that being by the prince's side was like living with a lion. Although he was grateful to Crown Prince Hua for his current position, he always maintained a clear understanding of his role. He adhered to proper etiquette in public and only allowed himself to be more familiar with the members of the Hua family in private.

Hua Yingying immediately realized her mistake and started pouting sulkily.

Chen Zhi could only smile helplessly and said, "You underestimate the cunning of the Crown Prince. His display of goodwill towards Chu Feng is merely to garner support from the Chu family, specifically to display his loyalty to Chu Tianxiong, the God of Slaughter. None of us expected that Chu Tianxiong would personally take action and kill Su Rui, effectively crushing the Martial Arts Alliance just for Chu Feng, an illegitimate child!"

Then, he continued solemnly, "If Crown Prince Hua cannot resolve this matter properly, it will not bode well for us as it would anger Chu Tianxiong."

Hua Yingying furrowed her brows in dissatisfaction and scoffed, "Hmph! Are we, the Imperial Hua Family, who have boasted a long lineage of 300 years, afraid of someone like Chu Tianxiong?"

Chen Zhi's expression turned grave. "He conquered 17 countries and single-handedly maintained peace in Donghua for 20 years. Have you not seen how the Su family has remained silent after Chu Tianxiong killed Su Rui? Besides, he also commands an army with a million soldiers under his thumb in Donghua. He has a status as mighty as the late emperor. As long as he is alive, the Crown Prince will never have a chance to rise to power."

As Chen Zhi spoke, his eyes flickered with a hint of ruthlessness and determination.

Hua Yingying stared at him incredulously and exclaimed, "Y-You want to take action against Chu Tianxiong?!"

The two words "Chu Tianxiong" held such a profound impact in Donghua that anyone who had the misfortune to face this god-like figure would involuntarily cower away.

Chen Zhi smiled and said, "Donghua

no longer needs this 'Lord Chu.' Now

y. According to a reliable source, Chuanxiong sustained heavy injuries in the war twenty years ago and has been suffering from fatigue and stress. Given his physical condition, he will not be able to hold on much longer."

Then, he continued, "When Chu Tianxiong destroyed the Martial Arts Alliance, we specifically invited nine national doctors to review the footage and confirm this

information. With such severe injuries, even a martial artist at the god level would not be able to survive more than two or three months. Yet, Chu Tianxiong managed to hold on for 20 years. It is truly admirable."

Chen Zhi sighed and continued sternly, "Once Chu Tianxiong passes away, the Di Du Imperial Chu Family will instantly fall apart. When that time comes, the Imperial Hua Family will be able to reap the benefits. That is why the Crown Prince has been favoring Chu Feng, the illegitimate son of Chu Tianxiong. This son has caused dissatisfaction and increased animosity among the Chu Family. Once Chu Tianxiong dies, there is no doubt that an internal conflict will occur. By then, we will be able to watch a grand spectacle unfold on the sidelines!"

Hua Yingying couldn't help but got excited as she listened to Chen Zhi outlining their plan. Letting out a choked sob, she said, "The Hua family has remained silent for 20 years. Finally! It is finally happening. We can finally take a step forward on our road to glory and achieve the late emperor's wishes, right?"

Chen Zhi closed his eyes briefly before turning to look at the rolling clouds and the rising sun. "An era where the Hua family will be seated in the position of utmost power is about to begin!" announced Chen Zhi.
