Wu Enchu gave a dry chuckle.
Chen Jinzhao patiently awaited the other party's reply.
Ding Ling still stood to the side like a statue, and if one didn't know he was there, he would surely be overlooked.
Everything here exuded an eerie strangeness.
After waiting for about three to four minutes, Wu Enchu spoke again, "You're looking for someone, why come to me?"
"Because he's with you," Chen Jinzhao replied.
Wu Enchu chuckled again.
He sighed, "Young people today are truly fearless, coming to my territory to find someone. If I said he wasn't with me, would you believe me?"
Chen Jinzhao shook his head.
He was now absolutely certain that Chen Yangfu was at Xuan Tian Guan.
"What proof do you have that Chen Yangfu is with me? I'd like to see if you can give me a reason," Wu Enchu did not commit to releasing Chen Yangfu, for Chen Yangfu was his human medicine.
Chen Jinzhao's gaze gradually grew colder, and he spoke word by word, "I have no proof, but I just know he's here."
"And another thing!"
"I respect you as a senior, which is why I'm discussing this with you."
"I am now formally informing you that I will no longer discuss this with you; I am demanding it."
Swish!
The temperature in the entire hall plummeted.
Ding Ling looked at Chen Jinzhao with a strange gaze, then shook his head slightly.
Chen Jinzhao could feel the chill emanating from Wu Enchu, this old man who should have been dead, still alive and well. It was not hard to imagine that Wu Enchu had spent a great deal of manpower and financial resources to live to this day.
However.
Chen Jinzhao knew this was not something money could solve.
The smile on Wu Enchu's face gradually receded, like old bark.
Chen Jinzhao felt a terrifying aura from this old man, even giving him a strong sense of powerlessness in his heart. In other words, the old man before him was very powerful, and Chen Jinzhao had been deceived by his emaciated appearance before.
If nothing unexpected happened.
This old man had already broken through human limits and become a being of another dimension.
Even so.
Chen Jinzhao did not retreat a single step, staring intently into Wu Enchu's ink-black eyes.
Finally.
Wu Enchu spoke again, sneering, "Youngster, you are not yet qualified to speak to me like that. Don't think that achieving a little success makes you able to stand tall. Before me, you are still just a youngster."
In the face of absolute power, all harsh words seemed ridiculous.
"No matter how powerful humans become, they are ultimately no match for modern weaponry. A few nuclear weapons would be enough to level Xuan Tian Guan." Chen Jinzhao calmly uttered these words, Wu Enchu's eyelids twitched. He realized the young man was not joking. He said in a deep voice, "Chen Jinzhao, are you threatening me? I am a meritorious figure of Huaguo, is this how you treat a meritorious figure?"
Chen Jinzhao said expressionlessly, "The real senior Wu Enchu is already dead. What is lingering on is merely his decaying flesh."
With no original intention and ideals extinguished, how could he be considered alive?
Wu Enchu was clearly somewhat angered and said again, "Even if I am no match for nuclear weapons, are you? With a few nuclear bombs, both you and I would die!"
He did not believe Chen Jinzhao would do such a thing.
"Senior can try," Chen Jinzhao said calmly, which instantly quelled Wu Enchu's temper.
"I don't mind telling you, there are seven other sects and powers like Xuan Tian Guan. Besides them, there are five great hidden families. Together, that makes thirteen extraordinary powers. At that time, we these powers made an agreement that if any one power was attacked by a secular dynasty, we would unite to destroy that secular dynasty! Chen Jinzhao, you need to think carefully, in these extraordinary powers, how many individuals are as powerful as you? Once these people disperse and hide among the masses, they are capable of dealing a devastating blow to the secular dynasty!" Wu Enchu said indifferently, everything was within his grasp.
Chen Jinzhao's eyes flickered for a moment.
Wu Enchu continued, "You are indeed very strong, even among these extraordinary powers, you can be considered among the very top tier. However, Huaguo only has you, and you cannot stop us extraordinary powers."
"As long as we launch decapitation operations targeting those generals, your subordinates will force you to cease hostilities."
Chen Jinzhao took a deep breath but did not compromise with Wu Enchu. "Do you believe you can stand against the entire world?"
"The entire world? Ridiculous!" Wu Enchu sneered mercilessly.
"Those with firm will are ultimately a minority. No one will sacrifice their lives to eradicate extraordinary powers. Chen Jinzhao, you overestimate human hearts. There are two things in this world that cannot be looked at directly: one is the sun, and the other is the human heart."
Chen Jinzhao laughed.
This made Wu Enchu feel inexplicably puzzled, was Chen Jinzhao an idiot?
He had explained himself so clearly, yet Chen Jinzhao was still persistent, did he really think he could defy fate?
"What are you laughing at?" Wu Enchu frowned.
"I'm laughing at your ignorance of the current situation. Gou Chen Pharmaceutical's new drugs have entered the clinical trial stage. One is a gene modification agent that can multiply human strength with no side effects," Chen Jinzhao said.
Wu Enchu's expression was cold. "I underestimated you. You've beaten us to the punch on the project that the Divine Kingdom has been trying to research for so long. But what does this have to do with the current situation? You're not thinking that a few more gene warriors can turn the tide, are you?"
"Of course not, so I have a second point to make," Chen Jinzhao said.
"Another drug is to extend human lifespan. According to existing experimental data, this drug can be perfected within three years, allowing humans to live to one hundred and twenty years old. If research continues in depth, living to one hundred and fifty, or even two hundred years old, is not a problem."
Wu Enchu fell silent.
Chen Jinzhao ignored the old man's expression and continued, "Who do you think holds immense power in the world right now? Among your extraordinary powers, aren't there any old people whose lifespans are about to run out? As long as I promise to give them the new drugs, your so-called alliance of extraordinary powers will crumble."
"Wu Enchu, right now I just want to ask a person from you. Why do you find it difficult?"
"I truly don't want to fall out with you."
For the first time, Wu Enchu felt the threat Chen Jinzhao posed. The old man's hunched body slowly straightened, and he looked at Chen Jinzhao with a serious gaze. "I must say, I have indeed underestimated you, young man."
"If I release Chen Yangfu, can you promise to let bygones be bygones?"
Chen Jinzhao did not agree directly. "It still depends on whether Senior cooperates with my future work. If Xuan Tian Guan acts recklessly, as a member of Huaguo, I will naturally have to send Senior to the Yellow Springs."
Wu Enchu was furious.
Chen Jinzhao was clearly not here to negotiate!
It was more like bullying Xuan Tian Guan, wanting to erase the trace of Xuan Tian Guan's existence from the earth.
As the saying goes--
A scholar can be killed, but not humiliated!
