My Silly, Sweet Wife-Chapter 1127: Capture the Leader to Capture the Thieves

"What?"

"King Qin is so ruthless!"

"If we can return alive today, we must report to King Qi and attack King Qin!"

"Damn, he's simply a treacherous villain!"

"Hmph, not just that, no wonder King Qin sent someone as invincible as Feng Wuxiu. It's probably to distract us and play us like fools!"

At once, emotions ran high among the group.

Chu Huai Nan also furrowed his brow, clearly in a foul mood.

If what Gongyang Lang said was true, then they were indeed played by King Qin and Hua Xiangrong.

But for some reason, Chu Huai Nan had a lingering sense that something was amiss.

However, he couldn't pinpoint exactly what was wrong.

"Whatever benefits King Qin promised you, we can offer the same!" Chu Huai Nan suddenly spoke: "As long as you don't trouble us today and let us leave, we can repay you doubly once we return!"

Upon hearing Chu Huai Nan's words, it immediately sparked a wave of agreement.

In the situation today, it was imperative to secure their lives above all else.

Once they left the Ghost Market, nothing would stop them; what could Hua Xiangrong do to them then?

"That's right, Lord Demon King, we mean no offense, we only want the Son of Nether Emperor. We are following the orders of the King, and it's unavoidable!"

"Yes, we don't wish to trouble you. If you release us, we will surely offer great thanks once we're back!"

Hua Xiangrong seemed to ponder, but remained silent.

The ridicule on Gongyang Lang's face grew more pronounced.

He hadn't expected Ye Guichen's plan to go so smoothly, actually fooling them all.

In such a situation, even if someone escaped, they would pin the blame on King Qin and not trouble Hua Xiangrong.

Gongyang Lang shook his head lightly, sighing, "Apologies, but the benefits King Qin promises cannot be matched by you. He wants you all dead, so we must keep our word."

With that, he quickly stepped back two paces.

Hua Xiangrong waved his hand, and his subordinates quickly advanced, brandishing their weapons and beginning the slaughter.

Chu Huai Nan didn't expect Hua Xiangrong to be so audacious, completely ignoring their pleas, and he roared in anger, "Fine, if you court death, then today I will see what you're truly capable of!"

Chu Huai Nan swung his dual blades and charged directly at Hua Xiangrong.

He was the most skilled, having reached the second level of Qi Refiner, with nearly no one able to withstand his assaults.

After slaying a dozen of Hua Xiangrong's men, Chu Huai Nan broke through the encirclement, charging toward Hua Xiangrong.

Under these circumstances, as long as he took down Hua Xiangrong, he could make his escape.

Of course, he understood that even if he was as fierce as a tiger, breaking through a pack of wolves wouldn't be easy.

The strongest among the other kings quickly recognized Chu Huai Nan's aim.

They began to rush towards Hua Xiangrong, not bothering to fight anyone else.

As long as they could control Hua Xiangrong, they could reverse the current situation.

"Courting death! Daring to touch Lord Demon King!" Lin Che cursed, blocking Hua Xiangrong, trying to impress him. But with just one encounter with Chu Huai Nan, Lin Che was sliced, losing an arm.

Lin Che yelled in pain, rolling to the side, shrieking in terror, "Lord Demon King, this guy is too formidable!"

Gongyang Lang frowned, not expecting Lin Che to be no match for Chu Huai Nan.

He had heard of Chu Huai Nan before, supposedly highly valued by King Chu, a significant Qi Refiner who also wielded military power, Chu King's right-hand man.

"I'll help you!" Gongyang Lang wasn't about to let Chu Huai Nan succeed.

As he spoke, he had drawn his iron fan and lunged at Chu Huai Nan's back.

In a critical moment, after chopping off Lin Che's arm, Chu Huai Nan was upon Hua Xiangrong, his dual blades stopping swiftly.

Hua Xiangrong's face turned slightly pale, struggling to lift his spear in defense.

He'd encountered such experts before and knew he was no match.

There was a vast chasm between the first and second levels of Qi Refinement, despite being just a single tier apart.

Hua Xiangrong knew, even if he and Gongyang Lang joined forces, they might not be opponents for Chu Huai Nan.

"Zing!"

As Hua Xiangrong raised his spear to counter, a clash sounded, and Hua Xiangrong felt his arm go numb.

Before he could retreat, a flash of cold light crossed his vision, and a short blade was pressed against his neck.

Gongyang Lang halted halfway.

"Don't move, if you dare act recklessly, I won't mind slicing your head off right now!" Chu Huai Nan sneered, a mocking smile forming at the corner of his mouth, "I thought the Great Demon King was frightening, turns out this is it. Haha, everyone stop! My people, come here, and I want the Ghost Market people to kill the rest. Otherwise, I'll kill your Lord Demon King!"

Upon hearing these words, those from the other kings paused.

They then broke into curses.

They all understood Chu Huai Nan's intent.

The Seven Kings were never truly harmonious.

Earlier, they could form a united front because none could individually challenge Hua Xiangrong.

But now the situation had changed.

Since they controlled Hua Xiangrong, why not use him to get rid of the others? It was perfect.

However, no one moved yet.

All retreated to their sides, cautiously watching the surroundings.

"Let her go!" Gongyang Lang shouted.

Chu Huai Nan grinned, "Let go? Haha, finally caught her, how could I easily release her?"

Then, he stuck out his tongue and licked Hua Xiangrong's ear, "I've heard the Great Demon King is a beauty, training a technique that absorbs others' cultivation techniques. Hehe, I'm quite interested in that. Wonder if the Great Demon King has any interest in teaching me?"

Hua Xiangrong's face turned livid, not daring to resist, not even moving slightly. A blood trace appeared on his neck with any small movement.

"What do you want?" Hua Xiangrong hadn't anticipated their assured victory turning into such a scenario.

He regretted their meddling in the affairs of the Seven Kings.

No matter how talented Ye Guichen was, what of it?

In their current situation, once they found out Ye Guichen was still on the island, it would not only lead to them taking him but also bringing trouble to his forces.

Having offended the Seven Kings, the Ghost Market he'd built for years might be destroyed.

"Haha, what do I want?" Chu Huai Nan was now satisfied, "Didn't you understand what I said earlier? Kill them all!"

Behind Chu Huai Nan stood a dozen men, all his subordinates.

They remained alert but were immensely pleased.

Using Hua Xiangrong to eliminate the other kings' forces was simply ingenious.
