"Joined the Spirit Guard?" Chu Honglin asked in surprise when he heard Chu Zhiyuan's words, "She actually joined the Spirit Guard too?"
Chu Zhiyuan snorted, "With her unparalleled talent, how could she not want to step into the Spirit Transformation Realm?"
The two stood side by side on Qingfeng Cliff, basking in the bright sunshine, chatting leisurely.
Chu Zhiyuan mentioned the news sent by the Twelfth Princess.
He had no intention of keeping it a secret from Chu Honglin.
Because he suspected that the Twelfth Princess sent this message to pass it on to the Emperor.
It was also a notification, to avoid a falling out after the fact.
Giving advance notice and being discovered afterward would definitely result in different reactions from the Jade Scenery Dynasty.
Moreover, he also wanted to promote the substitute to go, while he stayed in the imperial city.
Now that he had the Karma Stone, he could replace the True Martial Institute, but Great Radiance Peak was not unimportant.
More importantly, staying in the imperial city was safer, while going to the Phoenix Dynasty would not only be dangerous, but also subject to interference from all sides, making it impossible to cultivate in peace.
"Admirable courage," Chu Honglin sighed, "She's stronger than me."
His own entry into the Spirit Guard was to gamble on his pride, and of course, to climb higher.
The situation on the extraterritorial battlefield was little known to the world, but as princes and princesses, they knew it clearly.
The world far underestimated the horror of the extraterritorial battlefield.
As princes and princesses, daring to enter the Spirit Guard and step onto the extraterritorial battlefield was undeniably courageous.
Once on the extraterritorial battlefield, the identities of princes and princesses must never be revealed, otherwise they would die even faster.
The Demon and Monster races would definitely hunt them down at all costs.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "If she dares to say it, is she not afraid of the Demon and Monster races knowing?"
Chu Honglin shook his head, "Once on the extraterritorial battlefield, everyone changes their appearance, it's impossible to know."
Chu Zhiyuan said, "About my substitute…"
"Royal Brother directly rejected it," Chu Honglin said, "Even if you perform great service, it's useless."
Chu Zhiyuan sighed.
Chu Honglin said, "Give up on that idea, even if the Twelfth Princess uses a substitute, you can't, the Fengtian Palace of the Phoenix Dynasty is not just for show, it can't be hidden, the Phoenix Dynasty will directly turn hostile."
"…"
Chu Zhiyuan once again felt a sense of stuffiness.
Only the state officials are allowed to set fires, while the common people are not allowed to light lamps, this is the difference in status, there is no logic to it.
Chu Honglin said, "Actually, this is also good news, after all, you don't have to face her in a short time."
Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "What if I face her?"
Chu Honglin shook his head, "She has unparalleled talent, has been pampered since childhood, is strong and domineering, I guess you can't stand it."
Chu Zhiyuan said, "If my cultivation is inferior, what if I can't stand it?"
Chu Honglin smiled and sized him up, "Even if your cultivation is inferior, you still can't stand it."
He was gradually understanding Chu Zhiyuan's temperament, proud and unyielding, unwilling to be inferior to others.
With such a disposition, entering the Phoenix Dynasty was truly worrying.
But things had reached this point, and could no longer be changed, he could only try to persuade him.
But it was easy to change mountains and rivers, but hard to alter one's nature, persuasion was useless.
He could only hope that he could recognize reality and not think of courting suffering.
Thinking of this, his eyes revealed a hint of pity.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Fifteenth Uncle, don't worry, I will act according to the circumstances and won't mess around."
"I hope so," Chu Honglin said.
He left the True Martial Institute and, passing by the Di Martial Institute, found that there were not many people there either.
He frowned and went down the mountain, returning to the Prince's Mansion.
Youlan was pacing anxiously in the courtyard, and when she saw Chu Zhiyuan, she hurried to meet him, "Your Highness, something has happened!"
Chu Zhiyuan looked at her.
Youlan followed him to the pavilion and said anxiously, "Prince Gan was assassinated!"
"Fifteenth Uncle?" Chu Zhiyuan's expression changed slightly.
Youlan quickly said, "His life or death is unknown, the Prince's Mansion is now sealed off, no news can get out!"
Chu Zhiyuan's face immediately darkened.
He never expected this to happen.
Fifteenth Uncle, Chu Honglin, was a Spirit Transformation Realm expert, even if he was injured on the extraterritorial battlefield, he was still in the Spirit Transformation Realm.
To assassinate a Spirit Transformation Realm expert, one must be a Spirit Transformation Realm expert.
Such an expert entering the imperial city would definitely be monitored by the Qintian Observatory, how could they succeed in the assassination?
Could it be that the Qintian Observatory was truly useless?
Either the Qintian Observatory was negligent, or they evaded the Qintian Observatory's monitoring.
Who had this ability?
Great Heavenly Demon!
Chu Zhiyuan did not rush to act, but closed his eyes and began to sense.
After activating the Soul Orb, he sensed outwards, but felt nothing.
There were no Demon experts within ten miles around, it was completely clean.
Had the Demon experts taken the opportunity to escape, or were there originally no Demon experts?
If there were Demon experts, he should have sensed it long ago.
That meant the Demon experts left as soon as they struck, fleeing thousands of miles away?
Or rather, it was not done by the Demons?
"Your Highness?" Youlan saw him standing motionless in place, without any movement, and asked doubtfully, "Aren't you going to take a look?"
Chu Zhiyuan looked in the direction of Gan Prince's Mansion and said in a deep voice, "Let's go, let's go take a look."
It should be the Qintian Observatory taking action, using strange techniques to cover the entire Gan Prince's Mansion, making it impossible to be sensed by super-perception.
A layer of smoke filled the air, covering Gan Prince's Mansion, making it impossible to see the truth, making it impossible to see the interior.
"Yes," Youlan quickly said.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Let Li Yuzhen rest."
"… Yes," Youlan was stunned, and quickly nodded.
Li Yuzhen's identity was indeed a bit sensitive at this time, and it was not appropriate to get close to Gan Prince's Mansion.
Chu Zhiyuan walked with his hands behind his back, slowly leaving the Prince's Mansion, and walked a mile south, stopping in front of a Prince's Mansion.
At this time, the Inner Court Guards had already surrounded the Prince's Mansion, and Chu Zhiyuan was not stopped.
He stepped onto the steps, slowly crossed the high threshold, passed the screen wall, and entered the interior of the Prince's Mansion.
The Prince's Mansion was silent.
In the wide front courtyard, under the steps in front of the main hall, a group of princes and princesses were standing.
They stared anxiously at the hall, without the mood to discuss, just silently looking back and forth.
Hearing footsteps, they all looked up, and when they found it was Chu Zhiyuan, they withdrew their gaze.
Chu Zhiyuan came to the bottom of the steps and approached the First Prince in the crowd, "Big Brother."
Chu Liechu sighed, "I don't know if Fifteenth Uncle can survive this time."
Chu Zhiyuan said, "With the Great Radiance Heart-Protecting Pill, it's fine."
"Great Radiance Heart-Protecting Pill…" Chu Liechu shook his head helplessly, "It just so happens that there are no more Great Radiance Heart-Protecting Pills, the last one was eaten by you."
Chu Zhiyuan frowned.
Chu Liechu lowered his voice and said, "A medicinal ingredient needed for the Great Radiance Heart-Protecting Pill is just missing, delaying the refining, and it couldn't keep up."
Chu Zhiyuan frowned, "Are there other miraculous pills and spiritual medicines?"
Such a large court, royal family, it was impossible not to have life-saving spiritual pills.
At least the Emperor and those important ministers had spiritual pills to protect their bodies.
Chu Liechu said, "Those strange flowers and fruits in the Blessed Land are not as miraculous as the Great Radiance Heart-Protecting Pill."
Chu Zhiyuan looked in the direction of the hall, stepped onto the steps, but was stopped by two Inner Court Guards.
Chu Zhiyuan glanced at the two, "I have a spiritual pill that can save Fifteenth Uncle."
The two middle-aged Inner Court Guards hesitated, looked at each other, and then one of the Inner Court Guards turned to report.
Chu Zhiyuan stood with his hands behind his back, waiting quietly.
After a while, Chu Hongming came out solemnly.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Fifth Uncle, how is Fifteenth Uncle?"
Chu Hongming said expressionlessly, "Come in."
Chu Zhiyuan frowned and followed in.
The hall was still unable to be sensed.
