Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "This is also your opportunity, Fifteenth Uncle."
Chu Honglin shook his head: "Without you, this opportunity wouldn't be an opportunity."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and nodded: "Fifteenth Uncle, our coming together is each other's opportunity. ... Do you want to wipe out these guys?"
Previously, the two people's conversation said that the Thousand Machine Pavilion was in a place that no one could think of. He thought that the Thousand Machine Pavilion was in a place that people thought it shouldn't be, such as inside the yamen.
He also thought of using the principle of 'the darkest place is under the lamp', right under people's noses, under the imperial court's noses, in the most bustling place.
On the contrary, it can better cover people's eyes and ears.
Unexpectedly, it was in this sparsely populated place.
But it can't be said that what the two people said was wrong. Indeed, no one would have thought that the well-informed, all-knowing Thousand Machine Pavilion would actually be in a remote place.
Chu Honglin thought for a while: "Should we first ransack this place, and then ransack the Flying Cloud Sect?"
Chu Zhiyuan said: "Fifteenth Uncle, let's ransack the Flying Cloud Sect first, and then ransack this place. They won't realize that we've discovered this place."
He felt that there were still some things about this Thousand Machine Pavilion that he hadn't been able to figure out.
He always felt that there was something strange about this remote place.
How did the news get in, and how did it get out?
If someone wants to buy news, how do they come here?
If everyone knew about this place, it would have been exposed long ago. It's impossible for it to still be so secretive.
Therefore, we need to observe it and find the mystery before taking action.
It's not for the imperial court, but to figure out their methods and learn them.
Maybe they have some treasure that allows them to do this.
So, if we can find this kind of treasure and take it for ourselves, we can develop our own intelligence network in the future.
If you want to live a comfortable life in this world, strong cultivation is only one aspect. You also need to have enough information.
Especially in the Phoenix Dynasty, I'm afraid there are traps everywhere, so you need to be more cautious.
"... Alright." Chu Honglin nodded.
The two observed the place for a while, then floated back and quietly left.
After the two left a few miles, their figures accelerated, turning into two wisps of light smoke that swept across the mountains and rivers.
They soon came to the side of the twelve Venerables.
The twelve Venerables were like twelve statues, motionless and integrated with the heaven and earth.
The two quietly appeared, and they all turned their eyes to look over, revealing their intention to inquire.
"The situation is more severe than imagined." Chu Honglin slowly said: "Mr. Zhu, the Flying Cloud Sect cannot be spared, but we must leave some alive."
"Alive..." Mr. Zhu pondered and slowly said: "We must first find out how many people there are, otherwise it will be difficult to use the Drunken God Flute in time."
As he spoke, he took out a bronze mirror from his sleeve.
Chu Zhiyuan's spirit perked up.
Could this be the Mind-Penetrating Mirror?
He carefully looked at it.
The bronze mirror was only the size of a palm, and it looked like a makeup mirror.
One side was brass, without a trace of green, and it was well maintained and carefully cared for.
The other side was gray and dusty, as if the mirror surface was covered with a layer of dust, and nothing could be seen clearly.
The bronze mirror had no patterns and looked unremarkable. If it were placed in a jewelry store, almost no one would take a second look.
Even if it were placed in an antique shop, no one would take a second look.
Chu Honglin frowned: "Mr. Zhu, will using this affect the Drunken God Flute?"
"It is indeed not appropriate for us to activate it." Mr. Zhu calmly looked at Chu Zhiyuan: "Your Highness will have to take action later, so I can only trouble Ninth Highness."
Chu Zhiyuan pointed at himself in surprise and looked at the bronze mirror.
This bronze mirror didn't look surprising. It had neither divine inscriptions nor other patterns.
It looked like an ordinary bronze mirror.
"Ninth Highness, this is the Small Bright Mirror." Mr. Zhu smiled and said: "It can illuminate a ten-mile radius without attracting attention."
Chu Zhiyuan was surprised: "Illuminate ten miles? Without arousing suspicion?"
He curled his lips in his heart.
He thought it was a powerful treasure, but it turned out to be something that could only illuminate ten miles, far inferior to his super-sense.
Mr. Zhu said: "This thing is best used to explore the situation and know yourself and your enemy."
Chu Zhiyuan sighed: "There is such a treasure. It is worthy of being the Imperial Observatory."
Mr. Zhu smiled: "This is just a small object. Although its function is simple, it has a special effect. It may be useless to others."
"With this mirror, we won't be ambushed, right?"
"... Activating this mirror requires a lot of true essence and cannot be activated all the time."
"I see. Then it can't be used for defense, only for sneak attacks." Chu Zhiyuan suddenly understood.
Mr. Zhu smiled without saying a word.
These words hit the nail on the head. This mirror is suitable for sneak attacks and secret calculations, but not for defending against sneak attacks and secret calculations.
"Okay, I'll activate it and take a look," Chu Zhiyuan said.
"Oh—? Has it been refined? Is it a spiritual weapon then?"
Mr. Zhu hesitated for a moment, then his lips moved, but he used a secret voice transmission: "It's a part of a spiritual weapon."
Chu Zhiyuan nodded: "Okay, then I'll give it a try."
The little white snake in his chest suddenly reversed, and a stream of true essence drilled out of his body into his palm, and then injected into the bronze mirror.
The gray and dusty bronze mirror gradually showed a layer of white light, and the white light began to expand, becoming larger and larger.
Eventually, it turned into a circular light with a diameter of ten zhang.
The circular light was like a mirror, and images appeared in the mirror. There were people, mountains, trees, and houses.
Chu Zhiyuan looked at it in surprise: "Is this the situation on the other side?"
With a thought, a forest appeared in the mirror, followed by a house, stretching continuously to the top of the mountain.
And the surrounding area was full of lush trees, covering the houses.
There were several large halls mixed in.
The halls were grand and looked antique. People kept going in and out of the halls.
While injecting true essence, Chu Zhiyuan observed the situation inside and referred to his super-sense.
Thus judging the power of this Small Bright Mirror.
He finally shook his head.
The gap between this Small Bright Mirror and his super-sense was all-round.
For him, the only use of this Small Bright Mirror was as a means of covering people's eyes and ears.
He operated his true essence, causing the scene in the circular light to move little by little.
It was like a drone filming in his previous life.
A quarter of an hour later, Chu Zhiyuan withdrew his true essence with a slightly pale face.
The circular light quickly converged and eventually disappeared. The Small Bright Mirror was still the same round mirror, gray and dusty, and did not attract attention.
Mr. Zhu looked at Chu Honglin: "A total of four halls, which one should we attack first?"
Chu Honglin said: "The most important one is the one wearing the blue robe, and there is another one..."
Chu Zhiyuan said: "There is also the shortest one wearing the yellow robe. He should also be an elder."
"Yes, there is also that yellow-robed dwarf. They are in a hall together... Then we will divide into two groups. Mr. Zhu, the three of you will be in the dark."
"Okay." Mr. Zhu clasped his fists.
Chu Honglin snorted: "As for the rest, deal with the blue-robed one and the yellow-robed dwarf first, and ignore the rest for now."
"Yes."
"Then let's act. The longer we delay, the more likely things will change."
"Yes!"
Everyone lowered their voices but was solemn and dignified.
"Move!" Chu Honglin waved his hand.
The twelve people divided into two groups and moved forward silently, slowly approaching.
Chu Honglin looked at Chu Zhiyuan: "Zhao'er, you should rest here. There is no need to rush to take action."
"Fifteenth Uncle, these two Great Sky Demons will probably be very difficult to deal with."
"With Mr. Zhu and the others taking action, they won't be able to escape."
"I hope so."
