I'm only one year old, what the heck is a Overturning System?!-Chapter 660 - 269 Brother, It’s Me... (Please Subscribe)_2

"Master Gu Ying, Zhou Guanwu has been gone to the Demon Emperor’s Palace for so long and hasn’t returned. Could something have happened?"

Gu Ying, wearing a bronze mask, sat cross-legged on the stone stool and slowly opened his eyes, looking at him with cold eyes:

"Do you have a better idea?"

With the current hostility of the Great Demon Kings of the Demon Court towards "Pure Sky," only Zhou Guanwu has the hope to reach an alliance through his connection with the Fengyue Demon Emperor.

As for the rest of us... including Gu Ying himself, none has any confidence in persuading Fengyue Demon Emperor to agree to an alliance with "Pure Sky" in a short time.

Earth Monk understood this too and chuckled awkwardly: "I’m just worried that Brother Guanwu might be in danger, especially since those Great Demon Kings in the Demon Court are still desperately searching for our whereabouts."

"Once Brother Guanwu fails to talk things out with the Fengyue Demon Emperor, he might attract a group of Demon Kings, and then, our whereabouts will be exposed, increasing the dangers we face..."

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Ying snorted coldly and interrupted, "Instead of worrying about these things, you should think about how to escape the Ten Thousand Mountains if the negotiations fail."

Although his cultivation has reached the Divine Power Seventh Realm and he can avoid the threat of the "Heaven and Earth Bridge," it doesn’t mean he can act with impunity on the Tianyuan Continent.

Especially since they are currently deep within the Demon Court’s territory, attracting the attention of the Great Demon Kings who have been cultivating in seclusion within the Ten Thousand Mountains. The best way to safely leave here would be to become "one of their own" within the Demon Court.

Otherwise, once their whereabouts are exposed, even Gu Ying is not sure he can safely lead Zhou Guanwu and others out of the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Furthermore, they still need to go to the Wei Dynasty to conclude a three-hundred-year plan. If demons pursue them, it will inevitably draw the attention of Beixiong Pass.

At that time, with a few Divine Power Realm great powers from the Wei Dynasty in front and a group of Demon Kings from the Demon Court behind... just thinking about this situation gives Gu Ying a headache.

Even if they escape alive, it would affect the plan of "Pure Sky" and provoke the punishment from the "General."

"You are right, my lord, I was overthinking."

Earth Monk chuckled awkwardly and sat back against the stone stool, not daring to continue speaking.

On the other side, Chen Yuan silently listened to their conversation, without any intention to participate.

In fact, upon learning of Zhou Guanwu’s relationship with the Fengyue Demon Emperor, he was equally shocked.

He never expected that after Zhou Guanwu caused harm to the Zhou family members at Beixiong Pass, he would still have an affair with the Fengyue Demon Emperor and even have a child.

He was even more surprised to learn that the half-demon princess within the Demon Court was actually Zhou Guanwu’s daughter, carrying the Zhou family’s bloodline.

"If Grandpa knows about this, perhaps..."

Chen Yuan sighed quietly, not continuing the thought.

He knew very well that after doing such things, if Grandpa knew about the hidden secrets, no matter how many descendants Zhou Guanwu had, it wouldn’t alleviate Grandpa’s sorrow.

—Searching for a lifetime for an enemy, suffering for decades, plotting for decades, only to find out that the enemy is family.

Such a thing, if it happened to anyone, would be hard to accept, wouldn’t it?

Chen Yuan put himself in Zhou Tiance’s shoes, and if he discovered Zhou Guanwu’s plot that resulted in the demise of the Zhou family’s bloodline, he would probably... go insane!

No, if Zhou Tiance found out, he would definitely go insane!

Every time he thought about it, Chen Yuan hesitated about whether to tell Zhou Tiance.

First, he was worried that Zhou Tiance couldn’t accept it and might do something even more extreme.

Second, he was afraid that if such a thing got out, the already precarious Duke Jingye’s lineage would be infamous forever.

"However..."

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan opened his eyes, his gaze falling on a corner of the cave mansion, thinking straightforwardly:

"After what happened to me, the Duke Jingye’s lineage is already just a name."

This time, due to the changes of the Great Master and the Third Master within the Kyoto Academy, he was coerced by Gu Ying to come to the Demon Court, and it was certain that there would be judgments in the Imperial Court.

Chen Yuan could anticipate.

After Emperor Wei and several ministers of the Imperial Court found out about his disappearance and its connection to "Pure Sky," it would be impossible for him to remain Duke Jingye.

Even if his "betrayal" wasn’t publicly disclosed, it would be downplayed.

The best outcome, Zhou Tiance would continue to perform Duke Jingye’s duties, training the Devoted Army to prepare for the northern border.

The worst outcome... a trumped-up charge would make the Duke Jingye’s lineage completely disappear from the Marquis ranks.

It might even let his second brother, the newly promoted Heroic Marquis, replace Duke Jingye’s position, forming a new Northern Guard configuration with Duke Wuan, and Marquis Taishan.

"Second brother... second brother must already be disappointed in me by now, right?"

Previously, at the banquet when he took over as Duke Jingye and agreed to Grandpa’s "change from Chen to Zhou," he already upset Chen Yi.

Now, coupled with his betrayal of the Wei Dynasty with "Pure Sky"... knowing Chen Yi’s temperament, the next time they meet, he might directly suppress him...

At this thought, a bit of melancholy crept into Chen Yuan’s eyes.

When he agreed to the Left Minister’s plan, determined to secretly investigate Zhou Tiance’s connection with the Demon Court and the deeply hidden "Pure Sky," he was prepared to face everything alone.

But he didn’t expect the plan to go so smoothly—he not only successfully joined "Pure Sky" but also became a disciple of the "General."

Through this, he even discovered what Zhou Guanwu and Third Master Yang Huan were up to, learning about the hidden truth of the Zhou family’s bloodline at the Battle of Beixiong Pass.

But this discovery didn’t bring him joy, instead, it brought him distress.

Distressed about having to become enemies with Chen Yi, and worried it might implicate Zhou Wanyi and Chen Fan.

"Alas..."

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan sighed quietly, gripping the Wanjun Blade to dispel all these thoughts.

"Eh? He’s back?"

At this moment, Earth Monk suddenly raised his head, confirmed the aura belonging to Zhou Guanwu, and said to Gu Ying:

"My lord, Brother Guanwu is back."

Gu Ying’s eyes narrowed, a trace of divine will flickering around, after probing and nodding slightly.

Within a radius of ten thousand miles, except for Zhou Guanwu, the other Demon Kings and demons continued their usual searching, showing no sign of approaching them.

Seeing this, Earth Monk relaxed and immediately activated his divine power to guide Zhou Guanwu into the cave mansion.

And the moment Zhou Guanwu entered the cave mansion, Chen Yuan looked up, his eyes suddenly changing.

For some reason, a faint voice of his second brother rang in his ears, while the small wooden sword on his chest emitted a slight warmth, as if it was reminding him.

"Brother, it’s me."

"Do not reveal anything unusual, just listen carefully to what I say..."
