Chapter 432: The Players of the Fourth Calamity (Part Twelve)

Shortly after, Xiaoyaozi led in a man.
This man was handsome and distinguished, with an extraordinary bearing. His cultivation far surpassed Xiaoyaozi's, having already reached the Emperor Rank. To break through to the Emperor Rank at such a young age clearly made him a true prodigy of the entire Federation.
Su Chen sized up the man, who possessed an extraordinary presence.
Then... noticing Su Chen's gaze, the man leaned forward and, without hesitation, knelt heavily on both knees.
Xiaoyaozi: "..."
This scene seemed somewhat familiar.
The man loudly proclaimed, "I, Xu Fei, have long admired you, sir. Now, having seen your true form, I am indeed as legendary as described—imposing, elegant, talented, skilled in both literature and martial arts, possessing unparalleled knowledge, and with a magnanimous heart..."
Watching the man on the ground eloquently proclaiming his achievements, Xiaoyaozi suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
"These words cannot even begin to describe your greatness, why bother uttering them?"
Hearing Xiaoyaozi's words, Xu Fei thought to himself, "I never expected this person to be even more shameless than me. Truly a formidable foe!"
Xu Fei composed himself and then said, "My lord, I am actually a reincarnated individual. Before my reincarnation, I had long admired your legendary deeds and always wished to serve you. However, I discovered that there are quite a few reincarnated individuals like myself in the Federation. They have secretly formed the Reincarnated Alliance, intending to harm you. Therefore, I secretly infiltrated the Reincarnated Alliance to gather information."
"These are their plans..."
Xu Fei rambled on, directly betraying the Reincarnated Alliance.
Su Chen nodded.
The Reincarnated Alliance had planned to attack him when he entered the core area of ​​the Federation, but an unforeseen event occurred, and they canceled their plan.
The auras Su Chen sensed upon entering the Federation were the work of the Reincarnated Alliance.
Now they have devised an even more secretive plan.
After the initial plan failed, Xu Fei lost faith in the Rebirth Alliance and chose to betray it.
Several Emperor-level figures were involved in the Rebirth Alliance's plan; a single misstep could indeed cause Su Chen some trouble.
After all, Su Chen's cultivation was still some distance from the Emperor-level.
Su Chen instructed Xu Fei to return and monitor the Rebirth Alliance's latest developments. When they made their move, Su Chen wouldn't mind giving them a small surprise.
Xu Fei left.
Not long after, Xiaoyaozi arrived again.
"My lord, another person from the Federation wants to see you... This person might be from the Rebirth Alliance, just like Xu Fei."
Su Chen nodded and had Xiaoyaozi bring the person over.
The newcomer was a tall, imposing man, exceptionally robust.
"My lord, I've finally met you! I've admired you for so long!"
The tall, imposing man immediately knelt down and moved forward, trying to hug Su Chen's leg, but Su Chen subtly dodged him.
Su Chen's expression remained unchanged, perfectly calm.
The tall, imposing man withdrew his hand and said awkwardly, "My lord is my idol. This is my first time meeting my idol, and I was just too excited. I hope you won't mind."
"My lord, I am actually a reincarnated individual... Before my reincarnation, I greatly admired your reputation and originally intended to pledge my allegiance to you. However, I discovered that within the Federation, there are other reincarnated individuals like myself, all from the future, who intend to harm you."
"Through my tireless efforts, I finally infiltrated the Reincarnated Alliance and gathered intelligence about them."
"..."
Xiaoyaozi looked strangely at the burly man before him. These words seemed somewhat familiar.
Isn't this the same thing that person named Xu Fei said?
Su Chen listened to everything without making a sound, as if he had anticipated everything. This made the burly man sigh inwardly.
The lord truly lives up to his reputation. Even such a significant matter couldn't sway him. Everything seemed to be within his expectations, a master strategist, a terrifyingly calculating plan.
To think they could oppose him with just their own strength was nothing short of a pipe dream. Those foolish teammates... it would have been better to let him betray them to gain their trust.
Su Chen confirmed that the burly man's account matched Xu Fei's, and then had him return to the Reborn Alliance.
Shortly after the burly man left, Xiaoyaozi brought another person in.
Su Chen's expression was strange.
As expected, it was another member of the so-called Reborn Alliance.
And there was more than one.
One left, another arrived, repeating this dozens of times.
Xiaoyaozi brought in a strikingly handsome blond man.
"This should be the last one," Su Chen thought.
Based on the information Xu Fei had given him, Su Chen estimated that the Reborn Alliance had thirty-two members. Thirty-one had already arrived, and this blond man was the thirty-second.
That is, the last one.
The blond, imposing man possessed arrogance and did not kneel down to show submission like the others.
Looking at the composed Su Chen, the Golden Lion Emperor couldn't help but sigh inwardly, realizing his decision was correct. Even he, a legendary emperor, remained so calm in person; truly worthy of that person... Teaming up with a bunch of fools—even reborn, still fools—to suppress such a terrifying existence was a terrible mistake!
Luckily, he hadn't chosen to intervene.
"I have some unfavorable news for you, Your Excellency. I need to make a deal with you first,"
the Golden Lion Emperor spoke calmly.
He wanted to sell out all the reborn individuals, unravel their plans, and in exchange, gain a qualification for the future.
Facing the powerful and arrogant Golden Lion Emperor, Su Chen said, "Let's make a deal? You must be a reincarnated being, right?"
The Golden Lion Emperor was somewhat surprised, not expecting to see through his reincarnation so easily. His heart skipped a beat, but he nodded, saying, "That's right, I am a reincarnated being. I know many things that will happen in the future, which is why I want to cooperate with you."
Unconsciously, the Golden Lion Emperor didn't realize that his tone had softened slightly.
Su Chen said casually, "The deal you're talking about... you mean a group of reincarnated beings like yourself, wanting to join forces to kill me beforehand?"
The Golden Lion Emperor's heart skipped a beat: "You... how did you know?"
His tone became more panicked.
His greatest confidence, his supposedly impenetrable trap, was easily discovered.
Indeed, that man, even in the past, remained terrifying!
Su Chen stared into the Golden Lion Emperor's eyes: "I not only know that you and a group of reborn individuals formed the Reborn Alliance to target me, but I also know that when I stepped into the core area of ​​the Federation, you were secretly plotting against me!"
"Is this your deal? Perhaps you should give me an explanation."
All his schemes and tricks were exposed to the light of day.
Looking at those cold eyes, the Golden Lion Emperor was terrified. His legs went weak, and he lurched forward.
"My lord...it's all a misunderstanding!"
