They also didn't consider the temperament of this heir.
He didn't care much for female beauty.
The future princess consort would certainly be peerless, the number one beauty in Jade Capital.
But he wasn't enthusiastic about beauty.
No matter how beautiful she was, it would be difficult to shake his resolve, let alone capture his heart.
When facing her, his eyes were clear, not at all affected by her beauty.
Such a man could be described as having a heart of stone.
Even if she became his concubine, it would be difficult to influence his decisions.
She secretly shook her head, dismissing the elders' suggestions.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Besides the Tianxin Sect and the Huaisu Sect, there are also two major evil sects. Why haven't they made any moves?"
"It's none of their business," Meng Canglan said. "The evil sects will not cooperate with each other. On the contrary, they can't wait for the other to be destroyed. This time, it was only because the two were friends in the Daliu Camp that they cooperated, which is extremely rare."
It was also because of their cooperation that they were able to successfully complete the sacrifice and break through to the Grandmaster realm one after another.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "They won't cooperate, but they will kick someone when they're down."
"Yes."
It was no wonder the Wuyou Sect was so careful, after all, it concerned whether the news would leak.
If the news really leaked, the Wuyou Sect would be in big trouble.
Meng Canglan softly asked, "Your Highness, to what extent do you want to kill?"
Chu Zhiyuan said, "It would be best to find their lair and destroy it."
Meng Canglan shook his head: "It's impossible to find their lair."
Chu Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow: "Even your sect's Grandmaster can't find it?"
"Their lair contains strange power. Grandmasters can't sense it, and even secret agents can't get past it. There's no return."
"... Indeed troublesome," Chu Zhiyuan slowly said.
He couldn't sense their lair; there was a strange force interfering with his senses.
Sometimes it was in the east, sometimes in the west, seemingly in the south, then in the north.
It was elusive and impossible to pinpoint.
He felt that if he could cultivate the Spirit Nurturing Realm, he might be able to break through the interference with the help of the Saber Soul and sense the lair.
So cultivation still needed to be accelerated.
After the Dragon Transformation Art reached the Claw Refining Realm, its progress was extremely slow, and he still hadn't found a shortcut.
There was a shortcut for the Glazed Saber Sutra, either demon crystals or the Flying Heaven Sect's long sabers.
But the fastest shortcut was actually killing people, especially killing evil sect demons.
Now, his Saber Soul was already about three times stronger than before.
At this rate of killing, he estimated that he would soon be able to reach the Spirit Nurturing Realm perfection.
Chu Zhiyuan slowly said, "Kill as many as you can. It's good to have one less evil sect demon."
The Glazed Saber Sutra needed to be accelerated, but the most fundamental thing was his own realm.
He needed to step into the Grandmaster realm as soon as possible so that he could find the lairs of these evil sects and eliminate them from the root.
The two small sword qi being nurtured in the Tianchi acupoint had already become more solid.
More importantly, they already contained spirituality and sword intent.
He transformed the saber intent into sword intent, giving the small sword qi in the Tianchi acupoint sword intent, thereby increasing its power several times.
The destructive power to the last layer of the Copper Tower greatly increased, estimated to have increased by about three times.
This meant that the time to break through the realm could be shortened by more than half, which was wonderful.
If the realm of the Glazed Saber Sutra continued to improve, and the power of the two small sword qi further increased, the time to reach Grandmaster perfection would be further advanced.
Thinking of this, he asked, "Does your sect have demon crystals?"
"Demon crystals?" Meng Canglan nodded. "Naturally, we have demon crystals. What kind does Your Highness want?"
Demon crystals were quite useless and not valued. Apart from being good for medicine, they didn't seem to have much use.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "What is the strongest demon crystal?"
"It's a kind of Azure Dragon Pearl."
"Can you give me a few?"
"No problem."
Meng Canglan readily agreed, feeling that the Azure Dragon Pearl was not of much use either.
Dragon Pearls were very precious in the eyes of ordinary people, but they were just a medicinal material for strengthening blood qi.
They became useless at a certain level.
At dawn.
Bright sunlight shone on Wanghai City.
In a quiet room in the Tianshui Pavilion in the bustling Wanghai City, Chu Zhiyuan and Meng Canglan sat opposite each other.
There were only two people in the room. Huang Cheng and the other Grandmasters were resting.
The twenty Grandmasters had entered the city.
They still had to hide their tracks so that no one would know that the Wuyou Sect had entered.
The evil sects wouldn't care if the Wuyou Sect gave Chu Zhiyuan some news.
After all, the Wuyou Sect didn't have much information about the evil sects and wasn't afraid of them spreading rumors.
But it was different if the Wuyou Sect took action themselves.
Meng Canglan was dressed in white, her skin crystal clear, and she was becoming more and more beautiful.
Her jade hand took out a silk pouch from her sleeve and handed it to Chu Zhiyuan.
Chu Zhiyuan took it and opened it. Inside were nine green, glittering pearls.
"These are the Azure Dragon Pearls?"
"Actually, the Tianbao Department also has them. We exchanged them with the imperial court."
Chu Zhiyuan nodded.
The Dragon Transformation Art would accelerate its operation when stimulated by them, but the effect was much worse than that of the Flying Dragon Pearl.
Unfortunately, there were too few Flying Dragon Pearls.
"Thank you," he said, putting them in his pouch. Then he said, "The Phoenix Camp is about to arrive. Is the Daliu Camp still at Eagle Beak Cliff?"
"Yes."
"Then let them take care of the Daliu Camp," Chu Zhiyuan sighed.
"Do you want to wipe them out?"
"Mainly pacify," Chu Zhiyuan said.
Meng Canglan said, "There are only a few kittens left. Pacify them if you can."
Chu Zhiyuan nodded.
The key was not pity, but helplessness.
The sacrifice of more than two thousand people in the Daliu Camp should not be publicized.
Framing the Phoenix Camp was the best solution, and it could also shake the military.
Everyone had to know the price of rebellion, and not expect to get away with it easily.
Leaving some of the Daliu Camp's personnel was also to show the imperial court's generosity and benevolence.
Not doing things to the extreme, giving everyone a hope, a way out.
"I heard news that besides the Tianxin Sect and the Huaisu Sect, another sect's disciples have entered Wanghai City."
"Which sect?"
"The Wanhua Sect."
"The Wanhua Sect—" Chu Zhiyuan pondered, slowly saying, "The Wanhua Sect that changes faces and is impossible to guard against?"
"They've probably already entered."
"...Their reaction is quite fast," Chu Zhiyuan chuckled.
With each evil sect member killed, the Saber Soul strengthened a bit, and the Tianxin Sect and Huaisu Sect demons were gradually decreasing.
"Do you have any of their personal belongings?" Chu Zhiyuan said, "So I can sense them."
Meng Canglan took out another small box from her sleeve and handed it over: "This was left behind by one of the disciples."
Chu Zhiyuan opened it and saw that it was a silver ingot.
He couldn't help but smile.
Meng Canglan said, "These members of the Wanhua Sect are more cunning and vigilant than the other two sects."
Chu Zhiyuan nodded, took the silver ingot, and closed his eyes.
Meng Canglan said, "Mr. Song and Mr. Tan said that the aura on this silver ingot is too mixed and too faint to sense."
Chu Zhiyuan opened his eyes and slowly said, "I've found him!"
Meng Canglan said, "You've found him?"
"He's downstairs," Chu Zhiyuan pointed and smiled: "He actually wants to sneak over and spy, how interesting!"
He was smiling happily, his eyes even shining.
