Chapter 723 Let's Fight the Heavenly Court Together
Huang Tianming has been very unhappy lately. Since being defeated by Chen Guan, although the Crimson Blood Legion has not forcibly attacked his Southern Heaven Kingdom, most of the surrounding kingdoms have submitted to the Crimson Blood Legion.

The Southern Heaven Kingdom is in a very awkward situation. If it does not submit to the Crimson Blood Legion, it will be surrounded by the Crimson Blood Legion's allies, and its business dealings with them will be severely restricted.

Moreover, members of the Crimson Blood Legion, who are capable of countering his Heaven-Crushing Hammer, often come with their troops to cause him trouble.

If it comes to surrendering, Huang Tianming and Nan Batian truly cannot swallow this insult.

The more he drank, the more sorrowful he became. Huang Tianming drank alone, cup after cup, and even when his beloved woman came to flatter him, he had no interest in her and simply chased her away.

As he drank, Huang Tianming suddenly felt his vision blurring.

Suddenly, someone appeared in front of him.

"I drank a bit too much today, and now I'm hallucinating. Wait a minute, I like women, so why is there a pretty boy in my hallucination?" Huang Tianming looked at the man across the table. He found him to be exceptionally handsome, with an inexplicable air of evil about him, and the more he looked, the more annoyed he became.

"Damn it, this must be what that bastard I imagined looks like. How could I have imagined him to be so handsome? I deserve a beating." Huang Tianming slapped himself, the sound of the slap echoing loudly.

Then he staggered to his feet and punched Chen Guan again: "You deserve to be hit too. To think that I, the mighty Nan Batian, have fallen to such a state is all your doing. I'll beat the balls out of you!"

Huang Tianming slammed his fist toward the man, but felt his fist being gripped by a hand, unable to advance even an inch further. The hand was also warm to the touch.

Huang Tianming was immediately jolted awake, sobering up considerably. Upon closer inspection, he realized that this was not something he had imagined; it was clearly a living, breathing person.

This was quite a shock. Although his Southern Heaven Kingdom did not have as many experts as the Crimson Blood Legion, it still had a number of elite soldiers and strong guards outside.

The fact that this person could sit in front of him without him noticing was terrifying in itself.

"How dare you trespass into my palace! Take this!" Huang Tianming shouted, about to summon his Heaven-Crushing Earth-Shattering Hammer to deliver a blow to the pretty boy.

But despite shouting loudly, his body didn't move at all. He couldn't even budge a finger, let alone make the sky fall or the earth collapse.

"Old Huang, what's the rush? I'm here to talk to you, so stop yelling." Chen Guan gently pushed Huang Tianming, and Huang Tianming slumped into the chair, sitting there like a puppet.

"Who exactly are you? What grudge do we have?" Huang Tianming was horrified. He didn't even know what was going on, and he had already become meat on someone else's chopping board.

"Old Huang, do you want to become the real Southern Overlord?" Chen Guan asked Huang Tianming.

"What real Southern Overlord? What are you trying to say?" Huang Tianming felt that this person was talking nonsense and might be a little mentally unstable.

"To truly dominate the world, to become the master of the Heavenly Pillar Treasure Extreme Profound Heaven, to make the Southern Heaven Kingdom famous throughout the Divine Land, with no one daring to challenge him," Chen Guan said solemnly, each word powerful and each sentence resounding.

Huang Tianming thought this man must be crazy, but looking into Chen Guan's eyes and listening to what he said, a strange feeling began to grow in his heart.

But what he said was just too crazy. As a normal person, Huang Tianming simply couldn't accept it.

"Which of the ten great families are you from?" Huang Tianming asked.

He speculated that perhaps members of the ten great families had their eyes on Tianzhu Cave Heaven and wanted to defeat the Qin family and the Heavenly Court army in order to seize Tianzhu Cave Heaven.

However, the Qin family and the Heavenly Court army have been jointly developing Tianzhu Cave for so many years, and they have a fairly good understanding of each other. It would probably not be an easy task to take Tianzhu Cave from them. And if he agreed to this person's request, wouldn't he be used as cannon fodder?

This is truly a battle between gods, where innocent bystanders suffer as a result.

“None of them. My name is Chen Guan. Old Huang, you should have heard of me. We're old friends.” Chen Guan said with a smile.

“Chen Guan… There’s no one with the surname Chen among the ten great families… Wait… Chen Guan… Isn’t that the Ji family’s former son-in-law?” Huang Tianming’s eyes widened in disbelief as he realized who Chen Guan was: “You’re Chen Guan? The Chen Guan from the Heavenly Court Army?”

“That’s right.” Chen Guan nodded.

"I've already been treated so badly by your Heavenly Court Army, what more do you want? You're determined to force me to my death, aren't you? If you want to kill me, then kill me. I'd rather die than submit to your Crimson Blood Army..." Huang Tianming roared angrily, determined to fight the Crimson Blood Army to the end.

“I used to be a member of the Heavenly Court Army, but I’m not anymore. Not only am I no longer a member of the Heavenly Court Army, but I also want to kill the Heavenly Court Army so that they can no longer stand in the Heavenly Pillar Cave. Aren’t you interested in joining me?” Chen Guan said slowly after Huang Tianming finished cursing.

These words stunned Huang Tianming again: "Are you kidding me?"

"Do I look like I'm joking?" Chen Guan looked at Huang Tianming, his eyes turning cold.

Huang Tianming swallowed hard and asked, "Have you fallen out with the Ji family?"

“Yes, they had a falling out,” Chen Guan replied.

Huang Tianming immediately understood, thinking that Chen Guan had been dumped by Ji Nanhong. The story of a son-in-law who was disliked by his father-in-law and then kicked out of the house, full of resentment, had already surfaced in Huang Tianming's mind.

"Fine, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Since we both want to fight the Heavenly Army, let's fight together." Huang Tianming said through gritted teeth.

He hated the Heavenly Army to the extreme, and felt a sense of shared misery with Chen Guan.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that the person in front of him was the one who had caused him such a miserable situation.

“Cooperation is fine, but we need to make some things clear first. Let’s be cautious from the start, and from now on in this Southern Kingdom, you’ll have to listen to me,” Chen Guan said.

"Let me go, let's have a fair fight. If you can win fair and square, I'll give you the throne of the Southern Heaven Kingdom," Huang Tianming said painfully.

He didn't want to give up his throne either. He had worked so hard to build this kingdom, and although it wasn't very big, he was still the local emperor here. It was better than being someone else's dog.

“You’ve misunderstood. You are still the king of the Southern Heaven Kingdom. I will be your national advisor. You are in charge domestically, but when it comes to going to war, you must listen to me,” Chen Guan said.

"Then what are you after?" Huang Tianming didn't believe there was such a good thing in the world.

"I just want to make the Heavenly Court army unhappy." Chen Guan will soon reach the Seventh Sense. Even if this place is given to him, he won't have time to manage it. He just needs to deal with Huang Tianming. There's no need for him to occupy this place.

Huang Tianming was skeptical, but since the other party had said so, he agreed for now. If Chen Guan went back on his word later, he would also be in the right.
