Chapter 432: Player of the Fourth Scourge (12)

Before long, Xiao Yaozi led a person inside.

The newcomer was handsome and possessed an extraordinary bearing. His cultivation left Xiao Yaozi far behind; he had already stepped into the Emperor rank. Breaking through to Emperor rank at such an age clearly marked him as a true pride of the heavens within the entire Federation.

Su Chen sized up the man of extraordinary bearing.

Then... upon noticing Su Chen's gaze, the man moved forward and, without the slightest hesitation, dropped heavily onto both knees.

Xiao Yaozi: "..."

This scene looked rather familiar.

The man declared loudly, "I, Xu Fei, have long admired the great one. Today I am fortunate enough to behold your true face. As expected, you are as imposing as the legends claim, graceful as a jade tree in the wind, a man of striking appearance, accomplished in both civil and martial arts, overflowing with talent, broad-minded and upright..."

Watching the man on the ground speak without pause, Xiao Yaozi suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

"Those words cannot describe even one ten-thousandth of Master. What need is there for you to utter them?"

Hearing Xiao Yaozi's words, Xu Fei thought to himself, "I did not expect this fellow to be even more shameless than I am. Truly a formidable rival!"

Xu Fei adjusted himself and continued, "Great one, I am in fact a rebirth. Before my rebirth, I had long heard of the great one's legendary deeds. I have always respected the great one and wished to go and seek refuge under you. Yet I discovered that rebirths like myself are not few within the Federation. They have secretly formed a Rebirth Alliance and intend harm toward the great one. Therefore, I have been lying low within the Rebirth Alliance to gather information. These are their plans..."

Xu Fei rattled on and directly sold out the Rebirth Alliance.

Su Chen nodded.

The Rebirth Alliance had intended to act against him the moment he entered the core region of the Federation, yet a change had occurred, and the plan was cancelled.

The auras Su Chen had sensed upon entering the Federation were precisely the work of the Rebirth Alliance.

Now they had formulated an even more confidential plan.

After the failure of the first plan, Xu Fei no longer held any hope for the Rebirth Alliance and chose to sell them out.

Regarding the Rebirth Alliance's plan, several Emperor Venerables were involved. A single misstep could truly bring Su Chen some trouble.

After all, Su Chen's current cultivation still had some distance to go before reaching Emperor Venerable rank.

Su Chen instructed Xu Fei to return and continue monitoring the latest developments of the Rebirth Alliance. When those people finally acted, Su Chen would not mind delivering them a few "small" surprises.

Xu Fei left.

Not long afterward, Xiao Yaozi returned once more.

"Master, another person from the Federation wishes to see you... This person may also be a member of the Rebirth Alliance like Xu Fei."

Su Chen nodded and had Xiao Yaozi bring the person in.

The newcomer was a tall and powerfully built man of extraordinary stature.

"Great one, I have finally met you! This little one has long admired you!"

The tall and powerfully built man dropped to his knees at once and crawled forward, intending to grasp Su Chen's thigh, only to be quietly avoided by Su Chen.

Su Chen's expression remained unchanged and perfectly calm.

The tall and powerfully built man withdrew his hands with an awkward smile. "The great one is this little one's idol. This is the first time I have met my idol, so I became overly excited for a moment. I hope the great one will not take offense."

"Great one, this little one is in fact a rebirth... Before my rebirth, I greatly admired the great one's name. I originally intended to seek refuge under you, yet I discovered that within the Federation there are others like myself who have returned from the future. They intend harm toward the great one."

"Through this little one's unremitting efforts, I finally infiltrated the Rebirth Alliance and obtained intelligence concerning them."

"..."

Xiao Yaozi looked strangely at the burly man before him. These words seemed rather familiar.

Were they not exactly the same as what that fellow named Xu Fei had said?

After listening to everything, Su Chen showed not the slightest reaction, as if he had anticipated it all along. This left the burly man filled with emotion.

As expected of the great one. Even such a major matter could not move him. Everything seemed within his calculations, planned with perfect composure. Truly terrifying.

With only people like them, opposing this person was no different from a fool's dream. Those stupid teammates... it would be better to sell them out in exchange for trust.

After confirming that the burly man's words matched Xu Fei's, Su Chen also had him return to the Rebirth Alliance.

Not long after the burly man left, Xiao Yaozi brought another person over.

Su Chen's expression turned peculiar.

As expected, it was yet another member of the so-called Rebirth Alliance. And it did not stop at one. One left and another arrived, the process repeating dozens of times.

Xiao Yaozi led in a majestic blond man of extraordinary presence.

"This should be the last one."

According to the information Xu Fei had provided, the Rebirth Alliance totaled thirty-two people. Thirty-one had already come. This blond man was the thirty-second.

In other words, the final one.

The majestic blond man carried an air of arrogance and did not immediately drop to his knees in submission like the others.

The Golden Lion Emperor Venerable looked at Su Chen's calm demeanor and could not help but silently praise the decision he had made. Even in the presence of a legendary Emperor Venerable like himself, the man remained so composed. As expected of that person... Joining forces with a group of fools who remained fools even after rebirth to strangle such a terrifying existence had been an utterly mistaken decision!

Fortunately, he had chosen not to act.

"I have information disadvantageous to you and wish to make a transaction with you first."

The Golden Lion Emperor Venerable spoke calmly. He intended to sell out all the rebirths, reveal their plans, and exchange them for a ticket to the future.

Facing the Golden Lion Emperor Venerable, whose cultivation was extraordinary and whose demeanor was arrogant, Su Chen said, "A transaction? You should be a rebirth, correct?"

The Golden Lion Emperor Venerable was somewhat startled. He had not expected his identity as a rebirth to be seen through so easily. A jolt ran through his heart, yet he still nodded. "Correct. I am a rebirth and know many events that will occur in the future. That is why I wish to cooperate with you."

Without realizing it, the Golden Lion Emperor Venerable's tone had softened slightly.

Su Chen spoke lightly. "The transaction you mentioned... are you referring to a group of rebirths like yourself who wish to join forces and strangle me ahead of time?"

The Golden Lion Emperor Venerable's heart lurched violently. "You... how do you know?"

A trace of panic entered his voice.

His greatest source of confidence, the inescapable net he had believed so perfect, had been known so easily.

As expected, even in the past, that man remained terrifying!

Su Chen stared into the Golden Lion Emperor Venerable's eyes. "I not only know that you and a group of rebirths formed a Rebirth Alliance to target me, I also know that the moment I stepped into the core region of the Federation, you were also hiding in the dark, intending to strike against me! Is this your transaction? Perhaps you should give me an explanation."

Every scheme and plot had been seen through and exposed under the light of day.

Looking into those cold eyes, the Golden Lion Emperor Venerable was greatly alarmed. His legs went soft, and his body leaned forward.

"Great one... this is all a misunderstanding!"
