After Weng Qifeng left, Chu Zhiyuan looked at Meng Canglan.
Meng Canglan softly said, "Does the Heir Apparent trust this Sect Leader Weng so much?"
The Heir Apparent has always been cautious and careful in his actions, never taking even the slightest risk.
To rashly place someone of unknown background in his own residence.
This really doesn't seem like something the Heir Apparent would do.
What could be the reason?
Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "He is an understanding person, and also a cowardly person who fears death."
In order to save his life, he can only guard my residence in Yujing.
A common man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure.
"What he said may not be true," Meng Canglan softly said, "Caution is necessary."
Chu Zhiyuan knew she was curious, so he smiled and said, "The Mind Illumination Sect, I have seen records of it in the Tongtian Pavilion. It requires cultivating one's nature and illuminating the mind. The lineage is long but unable to flourish because it pursues the path of utmost sincerity, which is rare in the world."
Meng Canglan understood.
She really didn't know there was such a Mind Illumination Sect in the world, and thought it was just a minor sect.
She didn't expect this sect to have such a great origin.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "The disciples of this sect can be trusted."
"Then congratulations to the Heir Apparent," Meng Canglan smiled, "For obtaining such an expert."
Although this Weng Qifeng is old, his cultivation is not weak, almost reaching the Great Master realm.
Even within the Worry-Free Sect, he is a mainstay, second only to the elders who have become Grandmasters.
But it's a pity, he can no longer become a Grandmaster.
Despite seeking it eagerly, even cultivating bitterly in this dilapidated place, it is still difficult to step into the Grandmaster realm.
Eighty years old is the iron threshold; if one doesn't become a Grandmaster by eighty, they can never enter the realm.
In fact, the closer one gets to eighty, the smaller the chance of breaking through. By seventy-five, it's almost impossible.
"This can also be considered luck," Chu Zhiyuan nodded, "Now that the matter of the Mind Illumination Pearl is settled, let's get down to business and clean up those evil sects!"
"Yes!" Meng Canglan said solemnly.
Chu Zhiyuan took out two statues from his sleeve, one a multi-legged human figure, and the other a three-eyed human figure, closed his eyes, and then opened them after a moment: "Let's go, let's find the Heavenly Heart Sect first, it's in the city."
In a small courtyard of the Linglong Bookstore, the lights were bright, as if it were daytime.
In the small pavilion of the courtyard, there was a Luohan bed, on which lay Li Hongzhao, as lazy as a cat, wearing a wide red robe, like a ball of flame.
Li Hongzhao seemed to be lying in the flames, lazily picking up a piece of pastry and putting it into her mouth, her fiery red lips chewing gently, captivating the soul.
Standing opposite her was a beautiful girl, who opened a bamboo tube, took out a letter inside, glanced at it, and said softly: "Your Highness, it's news from Jihai Town."
"From Chu Zhiyuan?"
"It's from the Fourth Heir Apparent."
"What did he do? Did he quell the rebellion in Daliu Camp?"
"The Phoenix Camp hasn't arrived in Jihai Town yet."
"Hmph, dawdling, he's training and consolidating the military camp."
Li Hongzhao curled her red lips: "Who told him to take away more than two hundred Grandmasters at once, and then bring in more than two hundred people, greatly weakening his combat power."
The beautiful girl continued: "The Heir Apparent is sweeping through the evil sects in Jihai Town, launching a great slaughter. He has already exterminated more than three hundred Heavenly Heart Sect and Huaisu Sect experts, including four Grandmasters, almost completely annihilating the Heavenly Heart Sect and Huaisu Sect experts in the Eastern Territory."
"Evil sect demons, everyone has the right to kill them!" Li Hongzhao sneered.
The beautiful girl continued: "The evil sects of the Eastern Territory have already begun to counterattack, starting to encircle the Heir Apparent."
"They've started to encircle him?"
"They are rushing to Jihai Town."
"Your Highness, should we remind the Heir Apparent?"
"Remind him what for?" Li Hongzhao snorted, her bright eyes cast towards the east, lazily saying: "Do you think he can foresee this?"
"— Perhaps," the beautiful girl said, "The Heir Apparent acts steadily and meticulously, he must have foreseen that the evil sects would counterattack."
"Then why bother with unnecessary meddling?" Li Hongzhao snorted: "Let's see what he's going to do!"
"Yes," the beautiful girl replied solemnly.
"Green Pearl, you should leave," Li Hongzhao said, "Don't be greedy for this place anymore."
"Your Highness...—."
"Chu Zhiyuan has mentioned the Linglong Bookstore many times, and has been itching to cleanse this place. You should return to Great Meng."
"Your Highness, this servant does not want to go back."
The beautiful girl gently shook her head, her flower-like face full of stubbornness.
"After all, she is your mother, blood is thicker than water."
"Since she abandoned me, then the kindness is cut off and the righteousness is severed. If blood was really useful, she wouldn't have abandoned me in the first place."
"You ah — — — — —" Li Hongzhao shook her head: "You will regret it in the future."
"Even if this servant regrets, I will have no complaints," the beautiful girl gently shook her head.
"Alas — — — —" Li Hongzhao sighed: "You must also understand her situation at the time. She was in a dilemma. If she wanted to stay in Listening Rain Pavilion, she had to abandon you. If she wanted you, she had to leave Listening Rain Pavilion. She really had no choice."
"Why couldn't she leave Listening Rain Pavilion?"
"Because your father is inside, and the two of them cooperate together."
"Actually, she abandoned me because of my father."
"The love between a man and a woman, unwavering until death, is also something to be envied. You were just born, and she didn't have much affection for you yet."
"It's the same now!" The beautiful girl snorted: "This servant wants to go to Prince Huai's mansion."
"— Inappropriate," Li Hongzhao shook her head: "Prince Huai's mansion has so many concubines, you won't have a good life there. Besides, Prince Huai is a mediocre talent, there's nothing to investigate."
"Some major events in the court..."
"There's no need to investigate major events in the Great Jing court with Prince Huai. You can hear them in any restaurant in Yujing City."
"— That's true," the beautiful girl nodded gently.
The people of Great Jing love to discuss politics, both high and low.
Events that happen in the court can quickly spread throughout Yujing City, and everyone discusses them in the restaurants.
Therefore, information about the Great Jing court is the easiest to obtain. On the contrary, information about the military and the martial world needs to be carefully investigated.
Li Hongzhao said: "Forget it, you should first find out where those two hundred people went."
"Yes."
Li Hongzhao's gaze turned to the Eastern Territory, as if crossing thousands of mountains and rivers, seeing where Chu Zhiyuan was.
Chu Zhiyuan was currently in the depths of a forest outside the city, surrounded by slaughter.
Twenty Grandmaster experts were on the periphery, fighting with more than sixty evil sect experts.
Severed hands and arms flew everywhere, blood splattered, the scene was tragic.
Six Grand Grandmasters and eight Grandmasters were fighting in the distance, twisted and turned, soft and without any hint of fireworks.
Chu Zhiyuan was manipulating six flying knives, stirring up trouble on the periphery, and temporarily didn't interfere with the Grandmaster battle.
The Grandmasters were full of tenacity, and it was difficult to tell the winner for the time being. He felt there was no need to intervene.
He didn't want the Worry-Free Sect to sacrifice too much, so he urged the flying knives to the extreme, merging the way of speed and the way of illusion and reality.
Whenever a Worry-Free Sect expert was in danger, a flying knife would appear in time to rescue them.
At the same time, he interfered with the evil sect opponents, so that the Worry-Free Sect experts could reverse the disadvantage and even take the opportunity to kill the evil sect experts.
After several attempts, several evil sect experts drilled into the forest to search.
Unfortunately, none of them returned.
This made the evil sect experts furious and began to use the tactic of burning jade and stone together.
But as soon as they used it, a flying knife would shoot over, destroying it accurately.
Severed limbs and broken arms were all from evil sect experts. Under the protection of the flying knives, none of the Worry-Free Sect experts were injured.
The sixty evil sect experts were rapidly decreasing, fifty, forty, thirty, twenty - — ---- until the last one died.
In the end, the twenty Worry-Free Sect experts looked at each other, their minds filled with the flashing of flying knives.
