Is it really the Dragon's Lair?
If there are Demon Sect disciples in the army, it's because of the agreement between the Emperor Taizu and the Four Great Demon Sects, then what about the imperial concubines from the Four Great Demon Sects in the palace?
Is that also an agreement?
The relationship between these Four Great Demon Sects and the Emperor is indeed complex and delicate.
This time, the Everlasting Spirit Church will definitely enrage the Emperor, I wonder what will happen.
He faintly felt a sense of impending storm, sensing that the situation was very dangerous.
With over a hundred disciples in the Everlasting Spirit Church, it's impossible for only one disciple to be in the army. These disciples are all outstanding talents with exceptional aptitude. If they are in the army, their positions would definitely not be low.
If there is a major purge, it will inevitably injure the Great Jing army, and the current Great Jing cannot afford such turmoil.
What's more, there are the other three major Demon Sects.
Once the Everlasting Spirit Church is purged, the Emperor will be equivalent to tearing up the alliance. What will the other three major Demon Sects think? Should they also be guarded against?
If the Four Great Demon Sects all cause trouble, what will happen to Great Jing?
Thinking of this, Chu Zhiyuan's mood became heavy.
Could it be that the Everlasting Spirit Church has accurately predicted this consequence, so they are not afraid of the Emperor's purge, not afraid of the Emperor acting recklessly?
If that is the case, then it is kicking someone when they are down, even more heinous.
He cast his gaze towards the Jing Wang Manor not far away, his heart turning cold.
The Everlasting Spirit Church, one must not get involved.
The name of the Demon Sect is truly well-deserved!
I just don't know if traveling with Li Haoyuan this time will cause trouble, and whether the Emperor will suspect that I have practiced the Everlasting Spirit Secret Canon.
The next day, before dawn, he arrived at the Bright Martial Hall.
On the training ground of the Bright Martial Hall, only Chu Qingfeng was in the morning light.
As soon as Chu Zhiyuan appeared, he sized him up a few times, nodded with satisfaction, and revealed a smile: "Not bad! Not bad!"
Chu Zhiyuan stepped forward and clasped his fist: "Grand Uncle."
"You've made progress again. It seems that reaching the Grandmaster Realm can't stump you either," Chu Qingfeng stroked his beard and said with a smile.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Grand Uncle, on the way, I encountered Xu Yingying and Xu Suying, the Grandmasters of the Nine Li Divine Church."
"Miss Xu… … … …" Chu Qingfeng suddenly seemed to be in a daze.
Chu Zhiyuan's spirit lifted, and his gaze swept across his face.
Chu Qingfeng came back to his senses and said unhappily: "What are you looking at!"
Chu Zhiyuan chuckled and said: "It seems that Grand Uncle knows Grandmaster Xu, you are very familiar, right?"
"Not very familiar," Chu Qingfeng said: "Did she cause you any trouble?"
"No, Xu Yingying of the Nine Li Divine Church has a cultivation no less than mine, but she is younger than me, I found it amazing."
"Originally, you thought that the heroes of the world were nothing more than that, but now you have finally discovered that there are people beyond people?"
Chu Zhiyuan revealed a look of doubt.
People have always said not to get involved with the Four Great Demon Sects, and he has always wanted to know the reason.
Chu Qingfeng said: "Their relationship with the imperial court is complicated. As the heir, you will inevitably be in a difficult position in the future."
Chu Zhiyuan was thoughtful.
Chu Qingfeng's words sounded very ordinary, but he heard a sense of emotion, a feeling of personal experience. Obviously, this was advice he had summarized from his own experience.
Could it be that this Grand Uncle has emotional entanglements with Xu Suying?
He nodded solemnly: "Only talk about benefits, not feelings."
Chu Qingfeng revealed a smile.
This Old Fourth's comprehension is not only reflected in martial arts, but also in his usual behavior. He understands everything with just a hint.
Chu Zhiyuan said: "Grand Uncle, I want to find a sword technique comparable to the Nine Li Sword Manual."
Chu Qingfeng's smile froze.
Chu Zhiyuan raised his sword-like eyebrows: "I have seen all the sword techniques in our Bright Martial Hall, and there are almost no stronger ones than the Great Snow Avalanche Sword Technique."
The reason why the Great Snow Avalanche Sword Technique is not at the top is because it has flaws. In terms of power, it is the strongest sword technique in the Bright Martial Hall. But now that the power of the Great Snow Avalanche Sword Technique has reached the Grandmaster Realm, driving it with Gang Qi is not as good as the Heaven Piercing Sword Technique.
When competing with the Nine Li Sword Manual, it is not appropriate to use the Heaven Piercing Sword Technique, it would be too embarrassing for the Great Jing imperial family.
Chu Qingfeng said: "The Ziyang True Scripture excels in palm techniques, the sword techniques are not the most top-notch, as for the others…"
Chu Zhiyuan said: "The strongest of the Subduing Dragon Sect is the Great Heavenly Dragon Fist, the Taiqing Yuan Sect is the Myriad Streams Converging Palm, and the Imperial Void Sword Sect is the Imperial Sword Technique. They are indeed extremely powerful, but purely in terms of sword techniques, it seems that there are no stronger ones."
"… Isn't the Great Snow Avalanche Sword Technique already enough?"
"What about compared to the Nine Li Sword Manual?"
"…"
"Grand Uncle, what about within the Heavenly Treasure Department?"
"The Nine Li Sword Manual is the most top-notch sword technique in the world. Within the Heavenly Treasure Department, there is nothing stronger than the Nine Li Sword Manual."
"Even if it's comparable to the Nine Li Sword Manual, that's fine."
"The sword techniques of the White Cloud Sword Palace are extremely powerful, but you are not a disciple of the White Cloud Sword Palace."
"The sword techniques of the White Cloud Sword Palace are so powerful?"
"The White Cloud Sword Palace has a White Cloud Sword Tablet, which is a wonder of the world," Chu Qingfeng said: "The better the comprehension, the stronger the sword technique comprehended from the tablet. With your good comprehension, you may not be able to comprehend a sword technique comparable to the Nine Li Sword Manual."
"Such a rare treasure… What a pity!" Chu Zhiyuan felt a little disappointed for a moment.
Could it be that the dignified Great Jing Dynasty doesn't even have a set of sword techniques comparable to the Four Great Demon Sects? This is a bit wrong, right?
He felt that there should be a stronger sword technique, it just hasn't been passed down.
Chu Qingfeng said: "Actually… when you reach this level, there is not much difference between sword techniques, palm techniques, and fist techniques. There is no need to be so fixated on sword techniques."
Why must he use sword techniques to deal with the Nine Li Sword Manual?
Wouldn't using the Ziyang Divine Palm work?
Chu Zhiyuan said: "Grand Uncle, I still want to learn a top-notch sword technique."
His short wooden sword is mysterious, and it will be even more powerful when combined with sword techniques.
Chu Qingfeng thought for a while and said helplessly: "Above the Great Snow Avalanche Sword Technique, there is actually a set of Great Snow Mountain Sword Technique."
Chu Zhiyuan's spirit immediately lifted.
Chu Qingfeng said: "But this Great Snow Mountain Sword Technique is actually weaker than the Nine Li Sword Manual."
"Grand Uncle, is the gap between this Great Snow Avalanche Sword Technique and the Nine Li Sword Manual that big?"
"The Great Snow Avalanche Sword Technique is just one sword, while the Nine Li Sword Manual is a set of exquisite moves, so naturally it is much worse."
"… Forget it, I'll still let you go to the White Cloud Sword Palace."
Chu Zhiyuan's spirit lifted.
Chu Qingfeng sighed: "The White Cloud Sword Palace owes me a big favor. Using this favor, I can exchange for you to comprehend the Sword Tablet for one day."
"Thank you, Grand Uncle!" Chu Zhiyuan was overjoyed and accepted without any pretense.
Chu Qingfeng waved his hand and said: "I have always been reluctant to use this favor. Now it seems that it's not a loss to help you."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Grand Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely comprehend it well and won't let this favor be wasted."
"There's no need to be too fixated on it."
"Understood, understood."
As the two were talking, they saw people coming one after another.
The earliest were still Chu Zhiting, Chu Zhichuan, and Chu Mingxuan, plus Chu Zhiyao.
Seeing him appear, they immediately surrounded him, asking questions repeatedly, and then more princes and heirs arrived, continuing to surround him.
The training ground suddenly became lively.
Chu Qingfeng didn't urge everyone to practice, letting them talk and laugh with Chu Zhiyuan, curiously asking about the situation outside.
Hearing about the situation in Gaoling Town and the mid-way interception by the Trampling Cloud Iron Cavalry, they were all indignant.
Then someone asked if Li Haoyuan had already been thrown into prison. After Chu Zhiyuan explained, everyone was puzzled.
Such a crime was not directly arrested and thrown into prison, but instead allowed him to freely return to the capital. After arriving in the capital, he went straight back to his mansion. It's too lenient, right?
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said nothing.
Chu Zhiyao then explained to everyone. This is related to the rules of the imperial court.
Before being questioned, Li Haoyuan was only stripped of his position as General, he is not yet a criminal.
Only after the joint trial by the Three Divisions can he be convicted. After the conviction, officials of his rank may not necessarily go to prison. This is the imperial court's preferential treatment for the Generals of Zhenyuan.
Even if they are guilty, their hard work cannot be completely denied.
