Chu Zhiyuan said, "Fifteenth Uncle, was this operation smooth?"
Chu Honglin laughed and said, "Much smoother than I imagined."

Chu Zhiyuan looked curious.
Chu Honglin said, "The First Prince helped by ordering the military to investigate wealthy households that owed military rations. Nine families in a row were thrown into prison, and his family was one of them."
Chu Zhiyuan praised, "Fifteenth Uncle is amazing."
Chu Honglin smiled and said, "It was also a coincidence. I happened to hear these words in front of the Emperor, and I had a flash of inspiration. I took advantage of this opportunity. His family really wasn't wronged; they did owe military rations."
"Then how will they be dealt with?"
"They will have to make up the payment, plus a fine. It's estimated they'll have to pay three times the amount."
"It will hurt their finances, but it won't lead to imprisonment. They can get out by paying the military rations, so he's very confident and didn't resist much."
To be exposed because of such a small matter and leave abruptly would be a waste of previous efforts and not worth it.
Moreover, he also wanted to see the situation inside the prison and see if there were any loopholes to exploit.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "This is the best way for us to deal with the Demon Clan."
Chu Honglin said, "This is in our Imperial City. If we were really on the Extraterritorial Battlefield, those Great Heavenly Demons would be extremely difficult to deal with and extremely terrifying."
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Is their terror because their whereabouts are unpredictable?"
"Unpredictable whereabouts, no aura at all. Once they strike, it's a fatal blow."
"I can't go to the Extraterritorial Battlefield," Chu Zhiyuan shook his head. "Otherwise, I could use the Soul Pearl to find them."
Chu Honglin's eyes were burning, and he was uncontrollably excited, as if he saw Chu Zhiyuan appearing on the Extraterritorial Battlefield, leading the Spirit Guards to counter-ambush and kill the Great Heavenly Demons.
In the end, his gaze slowly dimmed, his excitement faded, and he sighed, "Doing so would be extremely dangerous for you.
Your life would be in constant danger."
The Great Heavenly Demons would use any means necessary to assassinate him and eliminate him.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "I will improve my cultivation as soon as possible. When I reach the ninth transformation of the God Transformation stage, it will be impossible for them to kill me."
"Ninth transformation of the God Transformation stage? You really dare to think!"
"Fifteenth Uncle, with my aptitude, can't I cultivate to the ninth transformation of the God Transformation stage?"
"The ninth transformation of the God Transformation stage is not as easy as you think. It requires various opportunities."
"Isn't it just comprehension? My comprehension is good enough."
"Cultivating in the God Transformation stage isn't just about comprehension. You also need further practical experience."
"Practical experience?"
"Some things can't be understood without personal experience. It's like a dish. Just describing how delicious it is, without personally tasting it, you can never really know."
"That's true."
"So, without going to the Extraterritorial Battlefield and experiencing those magnificent and unimaginable spiritual realms, it's impossible to cultivate to the ninth transformation."
"The Extraterritorial Battlefield..." Chu Zhiyuan said helplessly.
This is indeed a hurdle for him.
His identity is the biggest obstacle. Since he can't refuse being a consort, can he think of a way to go to the Extraterritorial Battlefield even as a consort?
"Will the Twelfth Princess go to the Extraterritorial Battlefield?"
"Yes, the Twelfth Princess is naturally gifted and should go to the Extraterritorial Battlefield."
"Then as a consort, I'll go with her..."
"...You are a consort, but also a hostage."
"What if the Twelfth Princess insists?"
"The Phoenix Emperor will not agree. If you have an accident on the Extraterritorial Battlefield, wouldn't it be a waste of effort? Give up on that idea. Don't even think about falling out with the Twelfth Princess and escaping unscathed. If you fall out with her, your situation will be even more difficult."
"If I fall out with her, I probably won't be able to return to our Imperial City either."
"It's good that you understand."
"What will the future be like..."
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, "Just thinking about it gives me a headache."
"Those who go to the Extraterritorial Battlefield never think about what tomorrow will be like. Who knows what tomorrow will bring? Living well today is the most important thing."
"I'm enlightened."
After a moment, it shrank in size and then turned into a golden ray that drilled into his brow.
This completed a Demon Subduing process.
After the last time, his understanding of the Great Demon Subduing Seal was even deeper, and he had reached the Intent Transformation level.
After the Intent Transformation level, he could first deal with the Great Heavenly Demon's soul and purify it.
Making it pure, no longer stained with emotions and feelings, leaving only pure rational memory.
He closed his eyes.
Chu Honglin watched curiously throughout the process without saying a word.
At the same time, he paid attention to observing the surroundings to see if there were any peeping or disturbing people.
His goal was to spare no effort to ensure that the news that Chu Zhiyuan knew the Great Demon Subduing Seal would not spread.
If it really spread, he would have to find a way to deal with it, eliminate the impact, and prevent the Demon Clan from noticing.
Chu Zhiyuan kept his eyes closed and did not move, as if he was in a meditative state.
Chu Honglin waited patiently.
After a cup of tea, Chu Zhiyuan opened his eyes, his eyes shining brightly.
"How is it?" Chu Honglin asked quickly.
Chu Zhiyuan sighed and said, "This person has been possessed for ten years."
Chu Honglin's face was gloomy.
"Ten years... He has already built a network of information and even colluded with the palace."
"Damn it!"
This sentence he cursed the young man.
"Two eunuchs colluded with him and sent two mansions, passing messages through the servants in the mansions."
"Really damn it!"
This sentence he cursed the two eunuchs.
Chu Zhiyuan sighed, "Fifteenth Uncle, this is a bit of a big trouble. He passed on a lot of information. Once he is destroyed, the impact will be significant. The Heavenly Demons will definitely investigate, and I'm afraid it can't be covered up."
Chu Honglin frowned and pondered.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "If they investigate with all their might, they may find anomalies."
"...We have to use the Evil-Repelling Ruyi." Chu Honglin said slowly.
Using the Evil-Repelling Ruyi can cover people's eyes and ears.
But the Evil-Repelling Ruyi is too precious and cannot be used lightly. Once there is a mistake, he will be a sinner of the Chu Clan.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "If we want to use the Evil-Repelling Ruyi, then let's make it bigger... I'll find a few more Great Heavenly Demons."
"Can you still find them?"
"Try going around the city."
"Then let's see how many there are first."
Chu Honglin summoned two Qi Transformation Realm city guards, signaling them to dispose of the corpse cleanly, making it look like a sudden death.
Then he and Chu Zhiyuan left the Heavenly Prison and transformed into city guards again, patrolling the city.
They went from one street to another, circling around, walking through every street and alley.
They chatted idly as they walked.
Chu Zhiyuan finally came to the mansion where the young man was, which had already been sealed.
After the two floated inside, Chu Zhiyuan took out a green and translucent jewel on a rockery.
"This is...?"
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, "These Great Heavenly Demons all have a love for refining treasures. They all refine treasures."
"What kind of pearl is this?"
"Soul Enlightenment Pearl, to enhance comprehension and collect martial arts insights."
"There is such a treasure?"
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Unfortunately, outsiders can't use it. They can only watch."
"What about you?"
"I can give it a try."
"Then try it quickly."
Chu Zhiyuan put the green and translucent pearl to his brow, and the pearl immediately flickered, becoming brighter and brighter.
