Imperial Cultivation

Chapter 725: Chapter 721: Operation

Small arms can’t wrestle big thighs.

Since the Emperor has given an order, I must comply with it.

But I can grumble a bit.

This fits the usual style and habits of the original owner and can garner greater benefits.

The Emperor can be unfair once, twice, but too many times would harm his reputation.

How can he be harsh and unkind to outsiders if he treats his son this way?

To avoid such associations and maintain his reputation, the Emperor must strive to appear fair, reward when necessary without delay or pretense.

Chu Hongming smiled: ”That’s very good.”

Chu Zhichuan snorted: ”Uncle, what exactly is our action this time? Can you tell me?”

”Annihilate Feiyun Sect.”

”Feiyun Sect?”

”The main force behind Qianji Tower is Feiyun Sect, among others, but Feiyun Sect is the main one.”

”Regarding Qianji Tower..., will they receive news?”

”This time, the action is personally presided over by Uncle Chu Honglin, personally appointed.”

”Still, we must prepare for a possible leak,” Chu Zhiyuan frowned: ”We can’t underestimate the wide spies of Qianji Tower.”

If it were someone else, or if I wasn’t involved, I wouldn’t bother speaking.

But it involves Uncle Chu Honglin, whom I’m closest to and who is my staunch supporter.

It involves my own safety.

So I can’t stand by and must find out.

Can’t die blindly.

A Prince is no talisman; if the Demon Clan dares to kill me, the Demon Sect will too, even these Demon Sect guys dare.

”So how should we prepare?”

”One bright, one dark, first send people to stealthily find out the location of Feiyun Sect’s Main Altar.”

”Hmm, I’ve already figured out the exact location.”

”Has someone been sent to scout?”

”Probably not..., you can talk to Uncle about these matters—he’ll listen to you.”

”...Alright.”

I am only responsible for sensing Demon Sect experts and warning of danger.

Uncle Chu Honglin is the true leader, I just follow orders.

Thinking of this, I feel helpless.

Sending me but only to be on the lookout, unable to make decisions on my own.

This feeling is quite unpleasant.

Chu Hongming said: ”Have a good discussion with Uncle, Feiyun Sect is not a big deal.”

Chu Zhiyuan snorted: ”Demon Sect, can’t underestimate them.”

Chu Hongming laughed: ”Uncle has ample battle experience and won’t be careless..., alright, I’m off. Go to Diwu Academy to find Uncle.”

Chu Zhiyuan clasped his fists.

Chu Hongming stepped through the Light Gate, leaving Great Bright Peak, evidently off to report.

Chu Zhiyuan didn’t go to Diwu Academy, he went directly to True Martial Institute and met Chu Honglin waiting there.

Chu Honglin beckoned.

They went to Qingfeng Cliff.

...

The sun had just risen, like a fiery ball, bright and intense.

The entire Great Bright Peak was dyed red, magnificently glorious.

”Got the Elder Brother’s order, right?”

Chu Zhiyuan replied helplessly: ”Uncle, is it necessary to drag me along? I need to practice.”

”Your advancement is getting faster and faster.” Chu Honglin patted his shoulder.

He sensed Chu Zhiyuan’s progress, having reached the Sixth Transition.

The speed of this advancement is indeed astonishing.

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”I want to achieve Venerable before going to Phoenix Dynasty.”

”You dare to think!” Chu Honglin shook his head: ”Impossible..., you’re advancing quickly, but no matter how fast, it’s impossible to reach Divinity Transformation Realm so quickly; you’ll be stuck at Perfection Transformation Intent for years.”

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”First dare to think, then work to achieve it..., what’s wrong with Feiyun Sect?”

”Hmm, I’m a bit worried and need your advice.”

”You think too highly of me, Uncle.”

”You rascal!” Chu Honglin said irritably: ”Why act modestly in front of me!”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled bitterly: ”Uncle, I know nothing.”

Chu Honglin said: ”If you don’t know, I’ll tell you. Listen, Feiyun Sect was exposed by interrogating those two guys...”

He went on to explain Yu Jizu and Huang Jinfu’s words to Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan frowned, increasingly alarmed.

Qianji Tower has too many connections, reaching everywhere like a great tree rooted within the Imperial City, rooted within Jade Dynasty.

Through Qianji Tower, too many secret messages have been leaked.

If leaked only to Phoenix Dynasty and Yuanzhen Dynasty, it’s fine; the fear is that it’s also leaked to Demon Clan and the Imperial Family.

Just like the last time the original owner was assassinated, why could the Demon Clan expert attack so precisely?

The original owner’s whereabouts were sold out by Qianji Tower, bought by the Demon Clan, then successfully assassinated.

This single event is enough to wipe out Qianji Tower.

Thus, the Emperor decisively ordered the destruction of Qianji Tower.

To destroy Qianji Tower, Feiyun Sect must be destroyed first; failing to destroy Feiyun Sect and other sects would lead to another Qianji Tower rising.

Chu Zhiyuan’s face darkened: ”They’ve truly gone mad! ...Mad!”

”Indeed mad.” Chu Honglin said coldly: ”So we can only complete them!”

He still can’t understand why the Demon Sect is so bold, so arrogant, so reckless.

Are they not afraid of the Court’s suppression?

Chu Zhiyuan frowned: ”Uncle, how many experts are you planning to bring?”

”Twelve Venerables, all Upper Three Transitions,” Chu Honglin said solemnly: ”One hundred and twenty Transformation Realm experts, also Upper Three Transitions.”

”Too many.” Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

Chu Honglin was stunned.

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”Twelve Venerables are enough; aren’t there the Observatory’s tributes too?”

”Mr. Zhu and three others will follow, using the Drunken God Flute.”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded: ”That’s good... One hundred twenty Transformation Realm experts would likely be exposed; don’t forget they’re Qianji Tower.”

”Even if they know some experts are dispatched, they can’t know who they’re dealing with.” Chu Honglin smiled: ”I only gather them; the target is known only to us two and Mr. Zhu’s three people.”

Chu Zhiyuan laughed: ”Uncle is indeed remarkable.”

Chu Honglin patted his shoulder: ”Rest assured, this time, we’ll be extra careful, won’t leak in advance..., listening to you, we’ll only take the twelve Venerables without the Transformation Realm experts.”

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”Split into two groups, first take the twelve Venerables, assess and then summon the one hundred twenty Transformation Realm experts; even if leaked, twelve Venerables can encircle and kill the leader.”

Chu Honglin nodded: ”Hmm, this way is more secure.”

Chu Zhiyuan sighed in relief.

”According to those two, Feiyun Sect’s strength isn’t strong, only four Venerables; twelve Venerables are sufficient.”

”Just afraid there’s backup.” Chu Zhiyuan said: ”If they dare to assassinate Uncle, surely they have something to rely on.”

He doesn’t believe the Demon Sect fears nothing; their arrogance must have a basis.

Without enough strength, they wouldn’t be so inflated.

”Hmm, we must be cautious.” Chu Honglin said: ”Then let’s act quickly, set out today.”

”Okay.”

”Don’t bring your Guard.”

”Understood, Uncle, we’ll meet in the woods ten miles outside South City Gate.”

”That would be best.” Chu Honglin nodded.

The two separated, each moving into action.

An hour later, Chu Zhiyuan met with Chu Honglin and the twelve Venerables in the woods outside South City Gate, swiftly heading south.
