Nearby, in a sun-drenched courtyard, Chu Zhiyuan sat in a hexagonal pavilion, arms crossed, studying the black pearl on the stone table.
The black pearl had been there all night.
Remember the domain name of the premiere website: π₯ π¨ π π π . π π π
Chu Zhiyuan had also examined it all night.
The result was unchanged.
This relieved him.
His biggest worry was that the Celestial Heart Sect's Venerable could still manipulate it.
Even though the Venerable's power couldn't be directly brought down.
But there's always a chance.
If it could still control the pearl and suddenly detonate it, the power would be astonishing.
Even if his intuition was sharp, it might be too late when he sensed something was wrong.
So, he had to eliminate this risk.
Now it seemed the power contained within the black pearl was fixed and not connected to the outside world.
Even so, he still had to be careful.
He took out a spirit-sealing box from his sleeve, placed the black pearl inside, and then put it into his sleeve, storing it in the iron finger ring.
The power contained within this black pearl was strange and related to the Venerable in the sky, making it extremely valuable for research.
"Knock, knock!"
Shen Hanyue knocked on the door from outside: "Aren't we leaving yet?"
Chu Zhiyuan raised his voice: "Come in."
Shen Hanyue, dressed in white like snow, her face covered with a white veil, revealing only her bright and charming eyes: "Everything's ready, shouldn't we leave now?"
Chu Zhiyuan got up and left the pavilion, walking outside.
Shen Hanyue followed him, exiting the courtyard side by side: "Can we make it in time?"
"We can," Chu Zhiyuan said.
Zou Fang followed behind them, silently.
Shen Hanyue not only didn't feel the pressure of a Grandmaster, but would unconsciously ignore him.
"The Palace Master doesn't agree with this trip to Great Meng."
"Hmmβ?"
"It was Senior Sister Xiao's strong insistence that made it happen." Shen Hanyue shook her head: "I really don't know why Senior Sister Xiao is so insistent."
Chu Zhiyuan chuckled: "Maybe she's worried, afraid that the evil sects of Great Meng will threaten me."
More likely, it was because of his invitation.
"They can't do anything to you," Shen Hanyue said: "This trip is just to be scolded, we shouldn't have gone."
Chu Zhiyuan glanced at her.
Shen Hanyue huffed: "Am I wrong? Do you think we'll be welcomed in Great Meng? β β -- AlasδΈδΈ! When we return, we'll definitely be scolded by the Great Jing people. You, the Prince, are unlucky, and we'll be unlucky too."
Xu Yingying had changed into a emerald green dress, full of vitality.
Beside her was Grandmaster Xu Suying.
Xu Yingying smiled and waved her little hand at him.
Chu Zhiyuan nodded with a smile, looking at Xiao Ruoling, who was still incomparably beautiful.
The Moon Invitation Palace Grandmaster beside Xiao Ruoling would stay behind to guard the courtyard and wouldn't be joining them.
"Let's go," Chu Zhiyuan said: "Ruoling goes first, then Yingying, and Hanyue last."
The three women left separately.
Outside the Ziyang Manor, the crowd surged, bustling with activity.
But it was difficult for them to blend in.
After all, their auras were different, and even though they were covering their faces, it was still easy to tell they were beauties.
However, no one was too curious, most people's gazes were drawn to the Bone Pagoda.
The number of Bone Pagodas had been increasing, the original three had already expanded to twelve.
Twelve Bone Pagodas, if there was no one around, would seem a bit eerie and terrifying.
But with so many people around, and so lively, these twelve Bone Pagodas not only didn't seem eerie, but made people want to watch them even more.
Everyone who saw these, those with hatred felt relieved, and those who were afraid felt safe.
In a forest three miles away, Chu Zhiyuan and Xu Suying were waiting there.
After the three women arrived separately and joined Chu Zhiyuan, they used their lightness skills to travel.
"Are we just going to use lightness skills to travel?" Shen Hanyue asked, puzzled: "Not riding horses?"
"You can practice your lightness skills," Chu Zhiyuan said: "There's no harm in running more."
Shen Hanyue said: "It's too slow to practice like this, β β β Β· how many days will it take to arrive?"
Chu Zhiyuan had already floated away, the three women followed, and Grandmaster Xu Suying had disappeared.
"At the current speed, it will take about ten days."
"So far?"
"If you're a Grandmaster, you can make a round trip in a day."
"Grandmasters are amazing!" Shen Hanyue snorted: "We'll be entering the Grandmaster realm soon!"
These days, cultivating in the Ziyang Manor, with Chu Zhiyuan judging the lunar phases, their cultivation had progressed by leaps and bounds, the speed was extremely fast.
Breaking through layers of realms, they truly experienced the wonders of the Great Lunar Chain Formation.
This speed was beyond their imagination, it was the fastest in the history of Moon Invitation Palace.
Chu Zhiyuan was also surprised, he didn't expect their progress to be so fast. He felt that their progress was even faster than his own.
He had a combination of many wonderful techniques, while the Great Lunar Chain Formation was so fast with just one mental technique, it had to be said that it was a rare and wonderful technique in the world.
"Then hurry up."
"We'll break through this time!" Shen Hanyue was full of confidence.
Chu Zhiyuan nodded slightly.
He now had experience in breaking through to the Grandmaster realm, and it wouldn't be difficult to guide them to break through.
The four of them floated along, at first there was laughter and constant talking.
They were extremely curious and fresh about the surrounding scenery, but after an hour, they only said a few words.
They only focused on hurrying on, and didn't have the mood to appreciate the scenery along the way.
Only Chu Zhiyuan was still leisurely and content, with an appreciative look on his face.
Zou Fang followed behind the group without saying a word.
Xiao Ruoling softly said: "This time, the Ninth Highness will make things difficult, right?"
"Definitely," Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "The Emperor sending me over not only won't help us get benefits, but will make things worse."
"Then why not tell the Emperor?"
"If I really said it, the Emperor would only think I was shirking responsibility and avoiding it."
" . β Then you should still say it, right?"
"It's better not to say it," Chu Zhiyuan said: "After you enter Tianjing City, there's no need to suffer with me, go take a look around first."
"Forget it, we'll just suffer," Xiao Ruoling softly said: "The Ninth Highness won't be too excessive, right?"
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head with a smile: "Now that she's the Emperor, who can control her? She'll only be unscrupulous, how could she not be excessive?"
Li Hongzhao had suffered too many setbacks and grievances from him, she would definitely take the opportunity to vent them.
What kind of cause you plant, what kind of fruit you get.
The past joys and pleasures are today's troubles.
This is the cycle of fortune.
Xiao Ruoling said: "She's the Emperor, doesn't she care about style and dignity?"
Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "Based on my understanding of her, she will never care about these things, she only wants to take revenge happily."
Xiao Ruoling pursed her lips and smiled: "That's really miserable."
She didn't know why, but she wasn't worried, she just faintly wanted to laugh.
Chu Zhiyuan chuckled: "Whose side are you on?"
"I think she won't be too excessive," Xiao Ruoling shook her head gently.
"Then I'll take your good words," Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.
He originally thought they would be ambushed on the way, but nothing unusual happened.
On the evening of the eighth day, Chu Zhiyuan led the Great Jing delegation to a post station twenty miles outside Tianjing City, choosing to stop.
He had already sent a message, preparing to continue the journey the next morning and enter the city in the morning.
By then, the Great Meng Ministry of Rites would also be ready to welcome his party into the city.
