The Zhenxi Beast King was speechless.
Zhang Yang was hitting a sore spot.
This matter had always been a source of sorrow for him.
It was precisely because too many experts were killed by Zhang Yang in Jiangnan City that the middle-level strength of the Beast King Army suffered a rupture.
"If you have something to say, just say it. If you keep mocking me, I'll get angry!" the Zhenxi Beast King said with feigned anger.
"Heh heh, don't rush. I'll tell you," Zhang Yang said, patting the Zhenxi Beast King on the shoulder to comfort him.
"This matter is actually very simple. Think about it, if I directly resigned as the King of Jiangnan in the Imperial City, would the Emperor suspect anything?"
"Because my father is Zhang Yingxiong, he will definitely overthink. Then he will know that his identity is exposed. If one day we really have evidence and expose this matter, can he still sit on the throne?"
"This is obviously impossible! Therefore, he will definitely try to secure the empire in his hands before we find the evidence."
"And looking across the entire empire, besides Linhai City, you and I are the only ones who are not his people. He will naturally pick on the weaker ones first. So, as soon as the Emperor makes a move, he will definitely come for you first."
"As long as he sends troops to Xijiang, then you will have your reason, won't you?"
After listening to Zhang Yang's analysis, the Zhenxi Beast King's eyes widened.
He thought for a long, long time.
He gave Zhang Yang a thumbs-up, "Your mind works really fast!"
The Zhenxi Beast King had already believed Zhang Yang's speculation.
If the Emperor was fake, then he would try his best to eliminate anyone who knew the secret.
This way, even if he was fake, he would become real.
And to become real, he must eliminate his opponents!
"So, does that mean my Beast King Army is in a dangerous situation?" the Zhenxi Beast King asked.
"That's right. If I were you, I would immediately gather the Beast King Army and be ready to retreat at any time," Zhang Yang replied.
Hearing this, the Zhenxi Beast King narrowed his eyes.
He didn't understand indirect ways of thinking, nor did he have the ability to win battles from a thousand miles away.
But when it came to leading troops to fight, he still had his own way.
"Wait for me for a moment."
After speaking.
The Zhenxi Beast King took out his phone and issued a series of commands.
About half an hour later, the Zhenxi Beast King had completed all his deployments.
"Alright, I've made all the arrangements."
"Do you know when the Emperor will come? Who will be the one coming, the other two War Kings?" the Zhenxi Beast King asked.
"Then I don't know," Zhang Yang shook his head.
"But it definitely won't be the two War Kings, because it's not appropriate for them to act, and the reasons are not sufficient. So I'm also a little curious, how will the Emperor make his move."
Zhang Yang couldn't guess who would attack Xijiang.
His purpose for coming to Xijiang this time was twofold.
First, to win over the Zhenxi Beast King.
The second was to see the Emperor's hidden trump card, and who would come to Xijiang.
"So, we can only wait," the Zhenxi Beast King said with annoyance.
This feeling of impending storm was the most irritating.
"It's too tiring to deal with people like you. It's better to be straightforward," the Zhenxi Beast King complained.
"Heh heh, it's just that you like to oversimplify things. Don't worry, I'm not leaving this time. I'll wait here with you, and I can help out at critical moments," Zhang Yang said with a smile.
The Zhenxi Beast King was overjoyed.
Zhang Yang's strength was evident, far surpassing his own.
If the Emperor were to attack the Beast King Army, with Zhang Yang's help, the chances of winning would be much greater!
"Zhang Yang, I'll remember this favor," the Zhenxi Beast King said.
"You're welcome. Helping you is helping myself. Only by uniting as one can we confront the Emperor," Zhang Yang said nonchalantly, then asked.
"By the way, do you know the Emperor's true strength?"
After hearing this, the Zhenxi Beast King thought carefully.
"I'm not very clear about the Emperor's strength either. After all, he hasn't made a move for a long time. The last time I saw him make a move was when he came to Xijiang to suppress me..."
When he mentioned this, the Zhenxi Beast King's face was filled with bitterness.
Back then.
When the Ming King and the Emperor were fighting for the empire, the Zhenxi Beast King knew that his strength was insufficient, so he stayed in Xijiang without intervening.
Both of them had invited the Zhenxi Beast King at that time, but the Zhenxi Beast King remained neutral.
On one hand, he wanted to preserve his strength and not become a pawn in someone else's game.
On the other hand, he also wanted to see if he could profit from the situation.
But in the end, things did not go as planned.
The current Emperor won, and he won decisively.
Finally, the Emperor pursued his victory and directly came to Xijiang to suppress him.
At that time.
Although the Zhenxi Beast King had not broken through to the Yuanfu realm.
The Emperor merely released his aura, and the entire Beast King Army was subdued.
The terrifying realm pressure was too great, making the Zhenxi Beast King unable to muster the will to resist.
Even now.
Even though the Zhenxi Beast King had broken through to the second star of the Yuanfu realm, he could not achieve that.
So, the Emperor at that time was at least a five-star existence in the Yuanfu realm.
Now, so many years have passed, and the Zhenxi Beast King had also broken through.
That time, after he disobeyed the imperial decree in Jiangnan City, he followed Zhang Yang's advice and went to the Imperial City to beg for forgiveness.
He still couldn't withstand the Emperor's pressure, which showed that the Emperor's strength was constantly increasing!
He was at least a seven-star Yuanfu realm, and that was a conservative estimate!
...oγg
"That strong?" Zhang Yang's brows furrowed.
If that was the case, then the Emperor had been hiding his strength when he seized the True Dragon Qi in the Imperial City.
He had never used his true strength from beginning to end!
Fortunately, yesterday he followed Zhang Yingxiong's advice and did not confront the Emperor in the Imperial City.
Otherwise, he would have been in trouble.
This also explained why Zhang Yingxiong and the others dared not act directly when looking for the Emperor.
"Strength and realm are only part of it. The Emperor definitely has other trump cards. However, although the Emperor is strong, if we join forces with the descendants of the Ming King, the Emperor would not dare to act rashly."
Seeing Zhang Yang's grim expression, the Zhenxi Beast King couldn't help but comfort him.
"Although the descendants of the Ming King lost their empire, they have survived in Linhai City for so many years. The Emperor cannot deal with them, which means they have something that makes the Emperor wary," Zhang Yang agreed.
He had heard Zhu Zhi and Zhang Yingxiong mention this matter.
However, Zhu Zhi was very mysterious at the time and did not elaborate.
"Besides that, you cannot underestimate the Northern Wolf King and the Eastern River Dragon King. These two are definitely not as simple as they appear on the surface."
"Although in front of outsiders, neither of them has broken through to the Yuanfu realm. But in reality, they must have broken through! It's just that the Emperor told them to hide it." the Zhenxi Beast King said seriously.
Zhang Yang was stunned.
The two War Kings had also broken through to the Yuanfu realm?
Why didn't he sense it when he was in the Imperial City yesterday?
"Are you sure?" Zhang Yang asked.
"I'm guessing, but it's highly likely. You're not familiar with the Eastern River Dragon King, but you've been to Shennong Gorge. What do you think of it?" the Zhenxi Beast King retorted.
A single sentence woke him up!
Zhang Yang understood!
Shennong Gorge often had beast tides. Any beast that led the charge was a Yuanfu realm expert!
If the Northern Wolf King had not broken through to the Yuanfu realm, he would not have been able to withstand the beast tide!
In that case, the two War Kings by the Emperor's side were also very strong!
This time, he had to think carefully!
It would be best to find an opportunity to kill these two War Kings before fighting the Emperor!
...
Having learned a lot about the Emperor from the Zhenxi Beast King, Zhang Yang had a better understanding of the situation.
Now it was time to wait for the Emperor to make his move.
Then the Beast King Army would have a reason to leave Xijiang.
And coincidentally!
As Zhang Yang and the Zhenxi Beast King talked late into the night, an anomaly occurred at the Xijiang border!
