Chapter 718: Chapter 714: Reaction

Li Miaotan returned the Soul-controlling Pearl to Li Yuzhen.

”Your Highness!” Li Yuzhen immediately protested: ”The Outer Realm Battlefield is not like our place here, crises lurk everywhere and you might be assassinated by the Heavenly Demon at any time!”

”I will ask Father for a Spiritual Artifact.” Li Miaotan said.

”...Even with a Spiritual Artifact, it may not be as useful as the Soul-controlling Pearl.”

”You underestimate Father too much, this time I have also made contributions and I am sure I can get a Spiritual Artifact.”

She then smiled: ”I guess I owe it to him shining upon me.”

Li Yuzhen laughed: ”Prince Consort can still be of help, right?”

Li Miaotan glanced at her sideways, shaking her head: ”I really don’t know how he has fed you that love potion.”

Li Yuzhen protested coquettishly: ”Your—Highness—!”

Li Miaotan stubbornly pressed the Jade Pendant back to her: ”Wear this, it’s still very dangerous by his side, anytime a Heavenly Demon might attempt to assassinate him.”

Li Yuzhen couldn’t resist her firm jade hand and had to accept: ”Their assassination targets are primarily Prince Consort; they won’t assassinate me first.”

One strike, then flee a thousand miles away.

This is the style of the Demon Clan’s assassination.

Against me, their guards, Demon Clan experts won’t easily make a move to alert the Prince Consort.

They will find a way to bypass me and directly assassinate the Prince Consort.

They can accomplish this.

”Stop babbling.” Li Miaotan snorted.

Li Yuzhen seriously stared at Li Miaotan and said: ”Your Highness, if you fail to obtain a Spiritual Artifact, you must borrow this from me.”

”Alright, alright.” Li Miaotan waved her jade hand: ”Father wouldn’t be so stingy.”

Li Yuzhen fell silent.

She certainly knew the Emperor’s stinginess, be it Silver or Treasure, only intake, no output.

Once in the Imperial Treasury, seeking to be released is extremely difficult.

For meritorious officials, generosity without expenditure, positions can be promoted, but Silver and Treasures are never granted as rewards.

Despite extreme pampering of Your Highness, nothing much of Treasure and Silver has been bestowed over the years.

This time, even if Your Highness makes significant contributions and is about to head to the Outer Realm Battlefield, the Emperor may not grant a Spiritual Artifact.

She sighed quietly.

Who could have thought, the Emperor of the grand Phoenix Dynasty, wise and mighty, with unparalleled Cultivation, like the radiant great sun of His Majesty, would actually be such a miserly person?

Yet, as a courtier, one must discern but not disclose, or it would be a great disrespect and there’d be dire consequences.

Regardless of how stingy, the Emperor’s Cultivation is unrivaled, nearly approaching the Spirit Venerable.

Li Miaotan said: ”Tell me more about the situation in the Outer Realm Battlefield, after these few days, once I’ve found a solution to the Demon Clan’s invasion into the Grotto Heaven, I shall depart.”

”The first task of the Outer Realm Battlefield is changing habits and perspectives; many perish not from weak Cultivation but due to failing to adapt their mindset, their habits uncorrected.”

She continued: ”Especially Your Highness, you must be extra cautious.”

”Lately, I have stopped using guards, always by myself.”

”But after all, still in the Imperial City, can’t truly develop the habit of constant vigilance without any relaxation.”

”Already making efforts.”

”The efforts are still not enough, and that’s just how it is.”

”I plan to make a trip to Jade Dynasty, infiltrate it, this should help cultivate the habit of constant vigilance?”

”This... is quite good.” Li Yuzhen hesitated, then slowly nodded.

She increasingly found this idea brilliant.

The Imperial City of Jade Dynasty is stable, but other places are not so peaceful.

There are too many Martial Arts experts, often grievances lead to swords, and there are those with inherently evil natures, causing even greater mischief.

Yet, no matter how strong these people are, they are merely minor compared to the Demon Clan and the Demon Sect.

First, traverse these dangers, training vigilance and cultivating the capability for constant alertness, without being too perilous.

Better than entering the Outer Realm Battlefield directly.

Li Miaotan said: ”I will also infiltrate the Yujing Imperial City to see if he’s truly as you say.”

Li Yuzhen smiled: ”Prince Consort displays a violent bad temper to outsiders.”

Li Miaotan snorted: ”He is naturally such a person.”

”Your Highness has seen firsthand and naturally knows.” Li Yuzhen spoke with determination.

”Fine.” Li Miaotan said: ”I will be over shortly.”

Li Yuzhen smiled.

——

The sun sets in the west; the splendid lights begin to shine.

Dusk enveloped the Imperial City; lanterns have already been lit.

Dusk and lights intertwined, making the Imperial City even more prosperous, adding a touch of mystical charm.

Chu Zhiyuan and Chu Honglin walked along the streets of the Imperial City, taking in this unique atmosphere.

Vaguely reminding them of the worldly days from a previous life, seemingly distant yet close at hand.

Chu Honglin scanned the surroundings, eyes shining.

The two walked as the guards stayed far away, beyond the normal protective distance.

As a Venerable of Divinity Transformation Realm, Chu Honglin did not need guards nearby.

Having guards was to deal with sudden appearances of Demon Sect experts.

”It hasn’t been peaceful these days, we need to be careful.”

”What’s happened now?”

”The search of the Demon Sect has been too harsh, causing many Demon Sect reactions.”

Chu Zhiyuan was surprised.

The instigator turned out to be him.

Back then, he suggested checking those cultivating Demon Techniques, including but not limited to the Demon Sect and Demon Gate, even some singers and dancers, even prostitutes.

Thinking the Demon Clan’s informants are too resourceful, must be their doing.

Chu Zhiyuan immediately frowned: ”Do they still have the nerve to stir trouble?”

”Martial Arts practitioners, especially those practicing Demon Techniques, how can they be content with being investigated?”

”Someone might take the opportunity to stir trouble?” Chu Zhiyuan said: ”Trying to eliminate dissent.”

This matter was supposedly handled by the Outer Court Guard and City Guard.

Both parties responsible, restraining and supervising each other, this is the Court’s customary practice.

Even so, it’s inevitable for someone to use the chance to purge dissent, mixed with personal vendettas.

”An incident did happen,” Chu Honglin sighed: ”causing all Demon Sect and Demon Gate to be furious, distrustful of the Court, always outwardly compliant but inwardly causing trouble.”

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”How is the Court going to handle this?”

”Anyone who dares to show their head will be dealt with,” Chu Honglin said: ”These practitioners of Demon Techniques must be dealt with, they are a hidden danger.”

The Court’s crackdown revealed how prone Demon Technique cultivators are to causing issues.

Not all Demon Technique cultivators are like that, but most are.

Demon Techniques especially affect character greatly, much more than other Martial Arts Heart Methods.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed: ”Wouldn’t a Demon Technique expert dare to assassinate Uncle?”

Chu Honglin snorted: ”Even with a hundred guts, they wouldn’t dare!”

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head with a smile: ”That might not be true, once putting their lives on the line, what wouldn’t they dare to do, eh?!”

He suddenly turned his head to the left.

The left side was a narrow and winding alley, with a blue stone pavement, both sides marked by time-worn, mottled blue stone walls.

Chu Honglin, in extreme synchronization with him, reacted swiftly, having battled in the Outer Realm Battlefield.

As Chu Zhiyuan turned his head, his spirit had already risen, senses fully active.

His momentum was stirring, Spiritual Energy swirling into clouds from all directions.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: ”Scared away.”

”Someone really was spying?” Chu Honglin kept alert, still gathering aura.

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”It should be some secret technique, peering at virtual reality, preparing for an assassination, ...not from Demon Clan, then it’s Demon Sect or Demon Gate.”

Chu Honglin’s face darkened.
