With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.

Bei Chenyan paused for a moment and then continued, "Your weapons are only us two who know how to use them. They can't withstand the repeated attacks of thousands of troops. They also have top experts in secret, and there are even traps and mechanisms set up inside."

Nangong Wu carefully examined the defense map and had a better understanding of the situation. "Tonight, let's explore this silver vault first."

"Alright." Bei Chenyan sat down in a chair at the table and poured tea into two cups. "It's still early, let's sit down and take our time reading!"

Nangong Wu glanced at the time; it was only half past Chen Shi (7-9 AM). She took three maps and sat down opposite him.

The two drank tea while studying the map.

Bei Chenyan also told her about the current situation in the Eastern Jin court and showed her the secret report he had just received that day, except for the matter concerning the Southern Qi Kingdom.

Nangong Wu was also very happy to hear that his people had helped find the Seven-Colored Lotus.

"How was it? I didn't waste my time being a father, did I?"

"Thanks!" Nangong Wu was genuinely grateful to him. "From now on, you're someone I, Nangong Wu, will protect. No one will dare to bully you."

"I'll remember what you said." Bei Chenyan's lips curled up slightly.

When they talked about Changyang Temple, neither of them looked happy.

"Changyang Temple is a metaphysical sect. The disciples in the temple all have some real skills, especially the sect leader Ling Yangzi. Not only is he highly skilled in magic, but he is also most proficient in the art of Qimen Dunjia and can predict the future," Bei Chenyan said, talking about Changyang Temple.

"The head of Changyang Temple was originally named Lingyangzi." Nangong Wu frowned. "Judging from the names they gave themselves, they all sound quite ethereal. I wonder what kind of person Lingyangzi is? Does he know what Xuanqingzi did in Western Yan?"

"Ling Yangzi was the most talented of all the former sect leader's disciples. He was known as the number one master in the world. His martial arts were so powerful and unfathomable that even my master was no match for him. People in the martial arts world spoke of him with awe." Bei Chenyan's eyes were deep.

"Your master?" Nangong Wu asked in surprise, this was the first time she had heard him mention his master. "Who is your master?"

To be able to teach someone to be such a top-notch master, the master must be a very powerful person.

"The leader of the Kunlun Sect." Bei Chenyan's expression darkened as he mentioned his master. "I came up the mountain at a young age, and all my skills were taught by my master. I left the mountain when I was seventeen."

More than two years ago, I received a letter from my senior brother saying that our master had been murdered in his bedroom. After receiving the news, I rushed back to Kunlun Mountain and found that there was nothing in our master's coffin except a pool of blood.

My fellow disciples told me, weeping, that within a day of his death, their master's body had turned into a pool of blood, leaving not even a single bone behind.

"The body turned into a pool of blood?" Nangong Wu was shocked. "How could this be? Was it murdered by an enemy?"

The martial arts skills of the Kunlun Mountain sect leader must be superior to those of Bei Chenyan. Anyone who could easily kill him in his bedroom must possess unfathomable martial arts prowess.

"I don't know." Bei Chenyan shook his head, his eyes red. "Since then, I have been searching for the murderer who killed my master, and I have collected a lot of evidence, all of which points to Changyang Temple."

"All these years you've been traveling around, was it just to find the murderer who killed your master?" Nangong Wu seemed to understand.

"Was the day you were chased by Nangong Xun related to the murder of your master?"

"Because Changyang Temple is the most suspicious, I sent people to secretly monitor the people of Changyang Temple. They discovered that they had secret connections with the royal families of various countries and their influence had infiltrated the courts of various countries."

Xuan Qingzi became the Grand Preceptor of the Western Yan Kingdom, spending his days in the Tianji Pavilion praying for the people. On the surface, he did not associate with anyone, but in secret, he manipulated the court.

Your unpredictable actions suddenly disrupted the political situation in the Western Yan Kingdom, threw Xuan Qingzi's scheme into disarray, and even directly threatened his life.

Therefore, Xuan Qingzi wanted to use Emperor Mingde to get rid of you. But Emperor Mingde was one step ahead; not only did he not become his pawn, but he also used you to get rid of the Ming family, this major parasite of the court.

Xuan Qingzi chose Nangong Xun because he wanted to eliminate you and Emperor Mingde together. But he dared not use the people from Changyang Temple, the Snake Spirit Society, and the people from the Northern Regions—these were all people he secretly found for the Empress Dowager.” Bei Chenyan told her what he knew.

"So you knew everything?" Nangong Wu suddenly realized how terrifying this man was.

Not only is he highly skilled in martial arts, but he is also frighteningly meticulous.

Bei Chenyan glanced at her. "I only found out this because I was looking for my enemies and seeking revenge for my master."

"So, according to you, Xuan Qingzi's appointment as the Grand Preceptor of the Western Yan Kingdom was at Ling Yangzi's behest? What exactly does he want to do?" Nangong Wu thought of Zhou Shaorong again.

"And what is the relationship between Xuan Qingzi and the Zhou family? Is it worth him risking his life to save a dying Zhou Shaorong?"

If Zhou Shaorong was indeed hidden in the Changyang Temple by the people there, she would definitely raze the Changyang Temple to the ground.

"There is indeed something fishy about Xuan Qingzi and the Zhou family. I have already sent people to investigate this matter." Bei Chenyan recalled seeing her tell Zhou Shaorong's fortune, and a smile curved his lips.

"Xuan Qingzi also underestimated your strength, thinking that saving Zhou Shaorong would be an easy task, but he did not expect that you would also use magic to calculate that Zhou Shaorong was not dead."

"No matter what, that Ling Yangzi's influence has spread to various countries, he is definitely not a good person, and I have already blacklisted Changyang Temple."

"I am bound to have a battle with Changyang Temple." Nangong Wu's gaze turned cold.

From the day she killed Xuan Qingzi, she was destined to be enemies with Changyang Temple.

Now, she has another formidable opponent.

"Changyang Temple enjoys a high reputation in the martial arts world and has always dominated its position. To be an enemy of Changyang Temple is to offend the entire martial arts world," Bei Chenyan said.

Even he didn't dare to offend Changyang Temple easily, so he founded Wujian Pavilion and used his identity as a Jianghu person to contact the people of Changyang Temple.

"A bunch of rabble, actually willing to kneel down and be someone's lapdog." Nangong Wu scoffed.

"Ling Yangzi has already taken control of the entire martial arts world, and he has also secretly sent people to infiltrate the royal families of various countries and interfere in their politics. Does he still want to unify the world and become the number one overlord?" She was very puzzled.

"It's obvious." Bei Chenyan said calmly.

"I am collecting evidence of the actions of Changyang Temple disciples in various countries. If we really come to the point of fighting Lingyangzi to the death, I will let the world know about his ambitions."

The two chatted about the state of the world, and before they knew it, it was midnight.

"Let's go! Let's go for a walk." Nangong Wu stood up first.

"Wait for me." Bei Chenyan walked behind the screen in the inner room.

Knowing that he had gone to change his clothes, Nangong Wu stood by the window and waited for him.

A short while later, Bei Chenyan came out dressed in black night clothes.

Let's go!
