Douluo: A Century-old Legend I Am the Second Uncle Chenxin

Chapter 702: Dragon and Snake Dance
Today, Xue Churan walked into the reception room of the Chen family villa in a graceful manner. She was wearing a goose yellow palace dress. The hem of her skirt swayed gently with her steps, making her look particularly gentle and beautiful. Her expression was calm and elegant, and her exquisite makeup further highlighted her noble temperament, making her unforgettable.

After sitting down, Xue Churan opened her red lips and said softly, "Brother Chen Cong, Brother Chen Hong, I came here today to see how Brother Long Ma is doing. I am deeply sorry that he got hurt because of my help, but I am also very grateful. I hope Brother Long Ma will not mind."

"I have some tonic medicine here, I hope you will accept it to help Brother Longma recover from his injuries."

After hearing this, Longma looked nonchalant. He took the gift generously, waved his hand and said with a smile: "Your Highness is too polite. My injury is nothing. I will recover in ten days or half a month. Don't worry about it."

Xue Churan heard this and nodded gently, "Then I feel relieved."

Chen Cong lowered his eyes slightly and asked in a deep voice, "How is the general's injury at the moment?"

Xue Churan sighed softly, with worry flashing in her eyes but still determined, and said slowly: "Sister Chuxin's injuries are indeed quite serious, but fortunately her life is not in danger."

"Although she is not good at attacking, her defense is not weak. In addition, she has a strong mental strength. Even if she is attacked, she can heal herself."

"However, she continued to open the Emerald Realm to provide us with support in the subsequent battles, which undoubtedly aggravated her injuries."

"Repeated overexertion during the battle has made her injuries even more serious."

Chen Cong had a complex emotion when he heard this. He asked in a low voice: "Then she..."

Xue Churan shook her head gently, with a gentle smile on her lips: "But please rest assured, Sister Chuxin has the Emerald Swan Martial Spirit, and the royal family has its own secret methods. No matter how serious the injury is, she will recover if she is given time."

After hearing this, Chen Cong's frown finally relaxed and he said softly, "That's good. What about you, Chu Ran? Have you been affected?"

Xue Churan's eyes lit up instantly when she heard that. She waved her hand gently and said with a smile, "I'm not the focus of their attack, so it's not a big deal."

Chen Cong nodded and said gently: "Even so, you must rest well and don't leave any hidden dangers."

A warm current surged in Xue Churan's heart, the corners of her mouth turned up, and there was a bit of joy in her tone: "Of course, I will, thank you for your concern."

At this moment, the air around seemed to have quieted down, and everyone felt a little uncomfortable. For a moment, everyone fell into a brief silence, each lost in their own thoughts.

Xue Churan coughed twice, looked around, and said with a solemnity that could not be ignored, "The second important thing for my visit today is to hear your opinions on the current situation and the Scarlet Church."

After Chen Cong and Chen Hong exchanged a deep look, Chen Cong slowly stood up and said in a steady tone: "This disturbance, together with the previous changes in the Ji and Liu families, all point to the You family and the Yan family."

"Yan Wufeng, because his son Yan Shenglong failed in his mission, he personally took action this time, and his methods were fierce."

Xue Churan's eyes were fixed on Chen Cong, and she leaned forward unconsciously, asking urgently, "Brother Chen Cong, what do you mean?"

Chen Cong walked slowly to the window, his gaze penetrating through the window frame and looking towards the distant sky.

As he pondered deeply, he analyzed in a deep voice: "Judging from these two incidents, the Scarlet Church's mode of action has obviously undergone subtle changes."

"They are now better at infiltrating without making any noise. Every step is carefully planned and they must think carefully before taking action."

"Their planning is so clever and their vision is so far-sighted that it's hard to guard against them."

He paused, and then continued, "The seven demon generals each occupy one side. This Fasno Province is located at the intersection of the northwest and central corridors of the continent. It has an extremely important strategic location and is an extremely important tool for stabilizing the western part of the empire."

"If something unexpected happens, it may lead to the deterioration of the situation in the entire Northwest, so you and General Chuxin have a heavy responsibility."

"If my guess is correct, the Northwest will be the battlefield of the You family, and the Central Corridor will be the main battlefield of the Yan family." "Therefore, in the future, the main competitors of the Fasno Province will be the You family and the Yan family, more specifically, the two heads of the family, You Guangzhou and Yan Wufeng."

"The You family has been active in the northwest in the past, so it is only natural for Youguang Zhou to take over. But the Yan family has always been in Xingluo, so it is a bit unclear to us."

Chen Cong turned around, his expression becoming more serious: "From these events, we can see that Youguang Zhou is a calm and decisive person who does things without dragging his feet; Yan Wufeng is even more cunning and well versed in the ways of the world. These two are both extremely difficult characters."

After hearing this, Xue Churan nodded slightly and whispered: "Dark Light Helmet... Yan Wufeng..."

Chen Cong continued solemnly: "The You family and the Yan family are both powerful families with a long history."

"The You family is a lineage of the Void Dark Snake. They have top-notch snake spirits and are good at stealth and space manipulation. They are extremely dangerous and treacherous, and are feared by everyone. "

"And the Yan family, the Dark Demon Dragon, has a respected position among negative martial spirits. Its dominance and strength are comparable to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex's supremacy among beast martial spirits."

"The two have very different personalities. I don't know whether their cooperation can produce a good response in this time of change. But from what we have seen so far, their cooperation has begun to bear fruit. The dragon and the snake dance together, should not be underestimated."

Xue Churan suddenly smiled, like a flower blooming in spring: "It is true that they are difficult to deal with, but at least we have identified our opponents. It is much better to know what to do than to grope in the dark."

Chen Cong nodded in agreement: "From the results, we have the upper hand in these two battles."

"Not only did we save the Ji and Liu families, we also successfully cut off the Scarlet Church's tentacles in the Zhanlong Sect and the Tianlang Sect, and their assassination plan failed."

Xue Churan said softly, "That's absolutely true."

Chen Cong changed the subject: "However, although some spies have been cleared out of the army, I am afraid there are still some remnants that have not been eliminated."

Xue Churan shook her head disapprovingly: "It doesn't matter, the big fish has been caught, and the remaining ones are just some small fish and shrimps, there is nothing to be afraid of."

"However, Brother Chen Cong, our Tiandou Empire is vast and boundless. Apart from here, who is in charge of other places?"

After hearing this, Chen Cong was a little surprised. It turned out that Xue Churan was waiting for him here, wanting to get some intelligence information about the Scarlet Church from him.

He pondered for a moment and replied, "In my opinion, the southern and northern foothills of the Tianshan Plateau should be handled by the Yuwen family, who are good at ice. The area around the Sunset Forest is the responsibility of the newly rising Ming family."

Xue Churan heard this, and a gleam flashed in her eyes: "With the Yuwen family's expertise in ice, it is natural for them to plunder the north."

"If the Ming family is really in charge of the central area of ​​the empire, then the fundamentalists of the Scarlet Church are fully responsible for our Tiandou Empire."

Chen Cong nodded and confirmed: "Indeed, they are more tacitly cooperating with other factions. This is both a bad thing and a good thing for us."

"Fundamentalist forces have formed a comprehensive and concentrated situation in the north of the continent. Their unified political orders have undoubtedly posed a significant external pressure on the empire."

"However, this highly centralized layout also implies fragility, just like a pile of sand forming a tower. Once the right time and strategy are found, it is possible to disintegrate it and wipe them out in one fell swoop, achieving 'killing the enemy in one fell swoop'."

"By then, the internal structure of the Scarlet Church will be disrupted by the sudden imbalance of factional power, which will be enough to cause internal turmoil."

“This change will not only profoundly shake its foundations, but will also likely win us one or two hundred years of precious peace and stability, creating unprecedented opportunities for the development of the empire.”
