Chapter 204: Yuan Zheng Defeated in One Move, Nie Long Realizes His Mistake

"Nie Long, why did you betray me?"

Cai Zhengkun took a deep breath and looked at Nie Long, his eyes and tone filled with Killing Intent.

Cai Zhengkun hated betrayal more than anything else in his life; as his trusted aide, Nie Long should have known the consequences of betraying him.

Hearing Cai Zhengkun's words, a flash of fear crossed Nie Long's face, but he quickly remembered something and snorted coldly.

"President—no, I should call you Cai Zhengkun now. We are all subordinates of Senior Yuan Zheng. Since you betrayed Senior Yuan Zheng, I had to inform him."

"Don't talk to me about betrayal. I only did what I had to do."

"Hmph, good, very good. Later, I will let you know what true pain is."

Cai Zhengkun said with immense fury; in his heart, Nie Long was already a dead man.

Hearing this, Nie Long felt a hint of fear, but he quickly reminded himself that Yuan Zheng, a Peak-level super expert, was right beside him. Even if the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce had Jiang Ye, it would only end in a draw.

If Cai Zhengkun tried to make a move on him, could Yuan Zheng really just stand by and watch?

Just then, Yuan Zheng finally spoke, his gaze cold as he looked at Cai Zhengkun.

"Zhengkun, are you… are you trying to betray me?"

Although the tone was extremely flat, Cai Zhengkun could clearly hear the Killing Intent.

That's right, there was a hint of Killing Intent in Yuan Zheng's tone; this was what Cai Zhengkun had learned about Yuan Zheng after staying by his side for many years.

If it were before, Cai Zhengkun might not have dared to confront Yuan Zheng due to his power and might have obediently knelt to beg for forgiveness, but he was no longer afraid.

After learning of the strength of the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce, Cai Zhengkun's patience for Yuan Zheng had reached its limit, and he couldn't wait to avenge his Family.

Thinking of this, Cai Zhengkun sneered and said.

"Betrayal? How can you call it betrayal? My goal was to kill you from the start. Do you remember the Cai Family from thirty million years ago? Do you remember the three thousand five hundred and sixty-three souls of the Cai Family who died miserably at your hands?"

Hearing Cai Zhengkun's words, Yuan Zheng frowned, seemingly lost in thought, but his expression quickly turned ugly.

"You are from the Cai Family of that time?"

"That's right. I am Cai Zhengkun, the son of the Cai Family head, Cai Xukun! If I hadn't been traveling outside back then, I likely would have died at your hands as well. But the Heavens did not forsake my Family and allowed me to survive."

"So now, I have come to avenge the three thousand five hundred and sixty-three members of the Cai Family."

When he said this, Cai Zhengkun's expression could only be described as gnashing his teeth; his eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Yuan Zheng, filled with Killing Intent.

Yuan Zheng snorted coldly.

"What? You are only at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Initial Stage; do you really think you are a match for me? And you, Jiang Ye, do you intend to go to war with me?"

As he spoke, Yuan Zheng looked at Jiang Ye, who was standing behind Wu Rulong, his eyes filled with Battle Intent. If Jiang Ye agreed, he wouldn't mind keeping Jiang Ye here as well.

He had long coveted the territory of the neighboring Xuanzhong Domain; if not for his fear of Jiang Ye, he would have made a move long ago.

Now that Jiang Ye had delivered himself to his doorstep, he naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity.

Hearing this, Jiang Ye smiled, then shook his head and said.

"No, no, no, it doesn't count as going to war. I am simply acting on orders."

Hearing Jiang Ye's words, Yuan Zheng and Nie Long frowned; they were both very curious about what kind of person could command Jiang Ye.

But before they could think about it, Wu Rulong could no longer hold back.

"Senior Jiang, why are you wasting your breath on them? Just do it."

"Yes, President!"

Following Wu Rulong's command, Jiang Ye moved instantly.

At this moment, although Yuan Zheng was still curious about why Jiang Ye would obey the orders of a mere Red Dust Immortal, he couldn't think about that anymore.

Although he was confident he could take down Jiang Ye, who was also at the Peak, it would come at a heavy price. Thus, Yuan Zheng did not let his guard down; he used his full strength from the start without holding back.

The same went for Jiang Ye.

"Haori Palm!"

As Jiang Ye condensed a giant palm print, Yuan Zheng's expression changed instantly, and he said with immense shock and fear.

"No, Jiang Ye, you are not at the Peak? You are an Immortal King! When did you make a Breakthrough to the Immortal King Realm?"

"I don't think there is any need to explain that to you. Just go on your way obediently!"

Jiang Ye sneered and moved his mind, sending the palm print crashing down. A full-force strike from an Immortal King Early Stage could truly be described as world-destroying. This terrifying aura shocked all the experts in the entire Huangyuan Region, who were all curious about who had provoked such a powerful Senior.

Nie Long, who was standing behind Yuan Zheng, froze in place. Although he hadn't sensed Jiang Ye's true Realm, based on the current situation, it seemed Jiang Ye was far more powerful than Yuan Zheng?

"No, no, no, this can't be true. Aren't they both at the Peak? How could Yuan Zheng not be a match for Jiang Ye?"

Nie Long thought in disbelief, and the next second, the ruthless scene before him shattered all his illusions.

Under Jiang Ye's full-force palm, even though Yuan Zheng exhausted all his methods, even burning his essence blood and cultivation, it was completely useless; he was blasted into dust by Jiang Ye's single palm.

Only now could Nie Long see that he had stood on the wrong side.

Just then, Cai Zhengkun appeared in front of Nie Long.

Looking at the murderous Cai Zhengkun before him, Nie Long could no longer hold back; he knelt down, weeping bitterly.

"President, it was all my fault, I was wrong. I was only forced by Yuan Zheng. I really know I was wrong, please spare my life! I am willing to swear a Heavenly Dao Oath to be loyal to you forever!"

Hearing this, Cai Zhengkun's expression remained flat as he shook his head gently.

"Nie Long, you are my subordinate and have been by my side for many years, so I know quite well what you are thinking right now. You aren't regretting what you did; you are just afraid because you know you are going to die."

"Rest assured, having been by my side for many years, I won't let you leave too easily."

"No, no, no! President, please! Don't!"

Nie Long was terrified, but Cai Zhengkun was one Realm higher than him. With Cai Zhengkun going all out, Nie Long, at the Golden Immortal Peak, couldn't block it at all, just as Yuan Zheng, at the Peak, couldn't block the strike from the Immortal King Early Stage.

After knocking Nie Long unconscious and crippling his cultivation, Cai Zhengkun came before Wu Rulong and Jiang Ye and said gratefully.

"Thank you, President Wu and Senior Jiang, for helping me eliminate Yuan Zheng. I remember everything I promised. When I return, I will announce the renaming of Earth Dragon Commerce to the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce."

"Hmm, from today on, you are the President of our Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce's Huangyuan Region branch!"

Wu Rulong glanced at Cai Zhengkun and said with great seriousness.

"Yes, President!"
