Chapter 881: Chapter 877: The Ends of the Earth

Sun Qiying was silent for a moment, then slowly said, ”The path of ruler and subject between me and the Fifth Hall is severed, Prince Consort, rest assured.”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, ”Actually, Mr. Sun still thinks highly of the Fifth Prince, right?”

”...”

”Why not just observe?” Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, ”Let’s see what the Fifth Prince is really up to, whether he truly intends to sacrifice himself to save Yuanzhen.”

Sun Qiying said, ”Thank you, Prince Consort.”

He felt that Chu Zhiyuan was overly forgiving, allowing him such leeway.

Was it because it didn’t matter whether he was useful or not, or was it due to sufficient confidence in his judgment?

The only purpose of Chu Zhiyuan concerning Sun Qiying was to assess Cheng Yunzheng through him.

Initially, he just wanted to understand Cheng Yunzheng’s background, and through their conversation, with just a glimpse, he could see the whole picture.

He had now achieved his goal.

When they returned to the Phoenix Hall of the Four Directions Pavilion, the Eldest Prince Li Cunren saw Sun Qiying following him and showed a look of puzzlement.

After finding someone to settle Sun Qiying, Li Cunren dragged him to sit in a small pavilion in the courtyard.

Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile, ”Elder brother, this is the competent assistance I’ve found.”

”A person from Yuanzhen?”

”Originally the Chief Historian of the Fifth Prince, but quite talented.”

”Cheng Yunzheng’s Chief Historian?”

”Exactly.”

Li Cunren blinked and chuckled, ”Brother-in-law, you really are surprising.”

”He’s implicated by Cheng Yunzheng and is currently being hunted.”

Chu Zhiyuan then carefully explained Cheng Yunzheng’s current situation.

After listening, Li Cunren’s eyes burned brightly, filled with emotion, ”What a Cheng Yunzheng!”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, ”Brother, you really admire him, don’t you?”

He knew that Li Cunren most admired such noble and tragic figures.

”If he truly does so, he is indeed worthy of admiration!”

He had seen many seemingly heroic but practically unfulfillable deeds and did not believe readily.

Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile, ”No matter how admirable he is, treating one’s wife this way, he must be dealt with.”

”Indeed!” Li Cunren’s face sank, ”He’s using Twelfth Sister as a raft, he cannot be spared!”

Even if Cheng Yunzheng was truly a heroic figure, from the perspective of the Phoenix Dynasty, he could not be allowed to walk away unscathed.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Li Cunren said, ”Brother-in-law, at tonight’s banquet, I intend to fall out with Emperor Yuanzhen, do you want to join me?”

Chu Zhiyuan hesitated and finally shook his head, ”Brother, let it go.”

He very much wanted to see what kind of person Emperor Yuanzhen was.

But his own status was insufficient.

Li Cunren was acting on a secret decree, meant to question Emperor Yuanzhen.

If it were just the two of them, it wouldn’t matter if Emperor Yuanzhen lost face, as outsiders wouldn’t know.

Adding himself to the mix would change things.

Emperor Yuanzhen might even become furious and do something extreme.

An emperor is a political creature, also a human, possessing the same emotions, and without constraints, often prone to extreme actions.

Li Cunren said, ”Brother-in-law...”

”Brother, if I went, things might go awry, it’s better not to risk messing up His Majesty’s matters.” Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

”Ah... fine.” Li Cunren nodded.

”I want to return as soon as possible.” Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Cheng Yunzheng has a double taken along, I fear we might see his stand-in when we return to the Phoenix Imperial City.”

”Huh, would this guy flee? Yeah, he certainly wouldn’t sit and wait for death.”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Once escaped, and with a treasure like the Leaving Beast Order as protection, he might indeed slip away.”

”... We indeed need to hurry back!” Li Cunren said solemnly.

If not for Chu Zhiyuan’s keen instinct towards the Demon and Devil Clans, he’d have urged Chu Zhiyuan to return immediately.

While the two were talking, an old eunuch quietly entered.

He reported that a master from the Tianya Sword Sect was outside requesting to spar with the Prince Consort.

Li Cunren snorted, ”Tianya Sword Sect?!”

Chu Zhiyuan frowned, ”The Tianya Sword Sect wants to challenge me?”

The Tianya Sword Sect is one of the Yuanzhen’s Four Great Sects, with a status comparable to the Phoenix Dynasty’s Four Great Sects.

They all possess Spiritual Treasures and Grotto Heavens, with a transcendent status.

Li Cunren said, ”What is the Tianya Sword Sect trying to do?!”

He turned his head, ”Brother-in-law, ignore them!”

The Tianya Sword Sect certainly didn’t send just an ordinary Venerable, this was a move to boost Yuanzhen’s morale by taking down his brother-in-law.

They came prepared, having surely investigated his brother-in-law closely, and sent a top master targeted specifically.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”We still have to meet, or else it’d be like they won without a fight.”

”... Yuanzhen, such a bundle of schemes and conspiracies!” Li Cunren snorted.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Yuanzhen’s conspiracies were indeed formidable, unforeseeable.

Facing such, one shouldn’t follow their pace, but take charge themselves.

React by staying unchanged amid changes.

”Let him come over.” Chu Zhiyuan said, ”I’m also curious about the Tianya Sword Sect’s swordsmanship.”

Walk the paths of the world, practice the swords of heaven and earth.

This is the path of cultivation for the Tianya Sword Sect.

Traveling the world, witnessing the heart of the mundane, with heaven and earth as swords, overcoming all obstacles.

Every disciple of the Tianya Sword Sect practices a different sword and must understand their swordsmanship before truly joining the sect as a true disciple.

With Super Sense, the expert from Tianya Sword Sect appeared as a youth.

An extraordinary talent again.

This world doesn’t lack extraordinary talents, every generation of the Four Great Sects produces such talents.

This talented individual was around the same age as himself, with a rather ugly appearance, robust and burly, with a hint of sincerity between his brows.

”I also want to see which expert Tianya Sword Sect has sent.”

”Yes.”

The elderly eunuch bowed and left, returning with the burly youth stepping into the small courtyard.

He came into the courtyard, cupped his fists solemnly, ”Li Baocheng from Tianya Sword Sect, greetings to the Eldest Prince, greetings to the Ninth Prince.”

”Li Baocheng?!” Li Cunren frowned and mused, ”Seems like I haven’t heard of this name, are you a Venerable?”

”Yes.” Li Baocheng said solemnly, ”I’ve just entered the rank of Venerable, and I’m here to seek guidance from the Ninth Prince.”

”You’ve just become a Venerable and still dare to spar with him? You’re too overconfident, aren’t you? Aren’t you afraid of embarrassing Tianya Sword Sect?”

”Eldest Prince, the face of Tianya Sword Sect isn’t something a mere disciple like me can tarnish, besides, if one thinks too much, how can they cultivate?”

”Oh, quite reasonable.” Li Cunren laughed, ”Seems like a martial zealot.”

He turned to Chu Zhiyuan, ”I quite like this kid.”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, ”Then let’s witness the sword technique of Tianya Sword Sect, please.”

”Ninth Prince, please—!”

Li Baocheng slowly drew out a broad sword, resembling both a sword and a saber.

Chu Zhiyuan glanced at it, ”Is this the typical sword of the Tianya Sword Sect?”

Li Baocheng shook his head, ”This sword was forged based on my own swordsmanship.”

”Seems to be a vigorous and domineering swordsmanship.” Chu Zhiyuan nodded, ”Please strike.”

”Whoosh!” Li Baocheng swung the sword to chop.

An arc of light instantaneously appeared before Chu Zhiyuan, incredibly fast.

Stepping diagonally, Chu Zhiyuan dodged, watching as several arcs of light were already encompassing him.

The swing of Li Baocheng’s sword condensed into several arcs of light.

These nine arcs of light split in different directions, forming a fan shape, allowing no room for dodging.

Chu Zhiyuan had not seen such peculiar swordmanship before, and he stepped diagonally again, escaping the range of the arcs.

Li Baocheng’s eyes flashed, and he lifted his sword again.

Another nine arcs of light condensed before Chu Zhiyuan, enveloping him.

Inwardly, he thought, this sword technique, breaking through nine mountains, is an ultimate move among ultimate moves.

Concentrating all surrounding power into this sword, it nearly settles the opponent instantaneously.

The range of the sword’s light surpasses the evasion range of Qinggong and Step Technique.

Almost unavoidable, only confronted head-on.

Once tackled head-on, it’s almost impossible to block, if able to block this sword, the next one wouldn’t be withstandable.

Yet Chu Zhiyuan stepped diagonally once more, evading the nine arcs of the sword light again.
