Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Uncle, with Mr. Weng and Zou Fang here, I can go all out and prepare to thoroughly cleanse the evil sects."
"Have you thought it through?" Chu Qingyan frowned: "Have you found the main altar of the evil sects?"
Chu Zhiyuan nodded.
He could determine the existence of two main altars.
Chu Qingyan thought for a moment: "It's very dangerous to really confront those evil demons, and you may not be a match for them."
"I'll give it a try," Chu Zhiyuan said.
He felt that he had already reached the pinnacle of his training, and it would be difficult to improve much more in a short period of time.
Since this was the case, he had to consider the source of the extraterrestrial power, those extraterrestrial venerables.
They only entered this world through formations and mediums, and their power was suppressed.
And his current power should be close to the peak of this world.
Now, facing the Son of Heaven Sword, he no longer felt that powerful pressure and suffocation.
When he was at the first level of the Grandmaster realm, facing the Son of Heaven Sword, his intuition would be alert to danger, telling him to avoid it directly.
The second level of the Grandmaster realm was indeed a qualitative leap. At this time, facing the Son of Heaven Sword again, his intuition only reminded him of a faint danger.
He could now escape under the Son of Heaven Sword.
He should also be able to escape under the power of the extraterrestrial venerables, not to mention that their power might not be that strong.
"We can't spare any Grandmasters right now," Chu Qingyan said.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "I can go alone."
"... Alright, be careful," Chu Qingyan said: "If things don't go well, run immediately."
"Don't worry, Uncle," Chu Zhiyuan smiled.
Chu Qingyan's gaze fell on Weng Qifeng, and he shook his head with emotion.
Weng Qifeng cupped his fist and smiled.
Now that he was a Grandmaster, he no longer had to be as cautious as before.
He had enough strength to protect himself.
"Let's go," Chu Qingyan glanced at the dark clouds in the sky that were dissipating.
Zou Fang was also about to complete the leap to Grandmaster, one manor with three Grandmasters, truly—
Chu Zhiyuan, Weng Qifeng, and Zou Fang returned to the Qing Prince's Mansion together.
Just after settling Weng Qifeng, Feng Xi came to report that a young man surnamed Xu was outside to visit, Xu Haode.
Feng Xi's face showed a look of incomprehension.
Ordinary people would not come seeking boredom now, as the heir almost never saw guests.
This Xu Haode had a determined expression, telling him to report it anyway.
Chu Zhiyuan had already seen a young man outside the gate of the Prince's Mansion.
His appearance was ordinary, and he would not attract attention in a crowd. His cultivation level did not seem high either.
However, Chu Zhiyuan raised his sword-like eyebrows. Under the illumination of his extrasensory perception, his body seemed like a black hole.
This black hole was constantly devouring air and sunlight, seemingly similar to a tree at first glance.
Trees absorb sunlight and air, and exhale air, while he absorbed everything, but did not exhale it.
Only in, no out, truly strange.
Chu Zhiyuan couldn't help but think of a name: Evil Emperor.
Could this be a successor of the Evil Emperor?
"Let him in."
"Yes."
Chu Zhiyuan came to the front hall, watching Xu Haode, who was slowly entering with Feng Xi.
"About the Evil Emperor," Xu Haode smiled: "Is this the Fourth Prince's doing?"
"Oh?" Chu Zhiyuan smiled, looking at him: "What does Mr. Xu mean by that?"
"The matter of the Evil Emperor's inheritance, is that the Fourth Prince's work?" Xu Haode smiled: "Luring the evil sects from all directions here to exterminate them, the Fourth Prince certainly has great ambition, but not everyone will be fooled."
Chu Zhiyuan said: "In the end, they still can't resist the temptation."
At first, it was rumored that there was a cave dwelling of the Evil Emperor, and many experts from the evil sects remained sober, thinking there was a conspiracy.
However, once the Evil Emperor Jade Pendant appeared, these people couldn't sit still. They had to come and see for themselves.
Thus, waves of experts from the evil sects fell into the trap. This was a conspiracy in broad daylight.
Using the human nature of 'seeing is believing,' he lured them here.
Even though they joined forces for this, it had little effect, and they continued to die at his hands.
"The Fourth Prince certainly has good methods, but this move is inevitably suspected of exploiting the Evil Emperor."
"Indeed, I have exploited the Evil Emperor's prestige. After so many years, the Evil Emperor's position in the hearts of the evil sect disciples is irreplaceable. Has Mr. Xu come to question me?"
As soon as he said this, Xu Haode knew that Chu Zhiyuan knew his origin.
Xu Haode slowly said: "I wonder if the Evil Emperor's inheritance is real or fake?"
Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "Mr. Xu, even you, the successor of the Evil Emperor, don't know?"
Xu Haode said: "The inheritance I received is not complete."
"Hmm—?"
"Some parts were lost in the war."
"Then take a look," Chu Zhiyuan took out the golden jade contract from his sleeve and handed it to him.
Xu Haode took the jade pendant, examined it first, and shook his head: "This looks fake at first glance."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "What does the real one look like?"
Xu Haode shook his head: "I only know that the real treasure of inheritance is often carved with phoenix patterns, and the pattern of this jade pendant is not a phoenix pattern, it is similar but not the same."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "That's a bit troublesome, will anyone see it?"
"No," Xu Haode shook his head: "In the world, I am the only one who knows the relics of the ancestor."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "That's good, there are no flaws then."
"Does the Fourth Prince want them to come and fight, so as to gather and annihilate them?"
"A two-pronged approach," Chu Zhiyuan said: "I can also take the initiative to attack and snatch their jade pendants."
"...These jade pendants can sense each other?"
"What does Mr. Xu think?" He looked at Xu Haode with a smile.
Xu Haode sighed: "As expected of the Fourth Prince!—...Is the Fourth Prince doing this to track down their lairs?"
He felt that talking to Chu Zhiyuan was particularly easy and effortless, unlike other officials or nobles, who spoke in roundabout ways, which was really tiring.
Chu Zhiyuan was simple, direct, and honest, making him particularly comfortable to get along with.
Chu Zhiyuan slowly nodded.
"I want to help the Fourth Prince."
"Oh?"
"I know the location of some of the evil sects' lairs."
Chu Zhiyuan frowned, looking at him.
The lairs of the evil sects were not something ordinary people could know. In this vast world, there were very few who knew.
Xu Haode said in a deep voice: "They can hide from the world, but they can't hide from me."
Chu Zhiyuan pondered.
He could feel Xu Haode's anger and killing intent when he spoke of the evil sects.
That's why he frankly told him his plan, wondering if there would be any surprises.
As for leaking it out, there was no need to worry. The general trend had been established. If these words were spoken, others would only scoff.
"Over the years, I have also been secretly killing evil sect demons," Xu Haode said in a deep voice: "Unfortunately, the effect is minimal."
Chu Zhiyuan said: "You are also a Grandmaster, right?"
His skills were strange, like a black hole.
So his aura would not be released, but only retracted, making him look like he didn't even know martial arts.
But with the traces of mental power, he was already a Grandmaster in cultivation.
"The Fourth Prince is wise."
"If you are a Grandmaster, killing them should be easy, right?"
"They are not so easy to kill," Xu Haode shook his head: "Guarding outside their lairs to kill them, there are Grandmasters guarding there, and these guys can't be found outside."
"Then how did you find those lairs?" Chu Zhiyuan said.
Xu Haode said: "Can the Fourth Prince agree to my request?"
"Good," Chu Zhiyuan nodded: "You can help,...Actually, there are not many demons left in Jade Capital City."
Almost all of them had been killed by him.
Xu Haode said: "Killing into their lairs is the most important thing."
Chu Zhiyuan pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Mr. Xu, you want to devour extraterrestrial power, right?"
He analyzed Xu Haode's thoughts in his mind.
Wanting to kill the evil sect demons was certain, but insisting on entering the lair was probably not because of hatred for the evil sects.
Combining this with his skills, he vaguely had a guess:
Xu Haode was stunned.
He only felt that he had no secrets in front of Chu Zhiyuan.
