Chapter 465: Chapter 462: Return to Beijing

```html

He thought of this, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Xiao Ruoling saw him like this and couldn’t help but smile as well.

Shen Hanyue snorted, ”How could there be so many fools in the world, just because someone says there is an Evil Emperor, there actually is an Evil Emperor!”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”This is not entirely nonsense or fabrication.”

”Hmm—?” Shen Hanyue blinked her big eyes.

Xiao Ruoling laughed, ”Is there really a person like the Evil Emperor?”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded, ”Indeed, there was an Evil Emperor ten thousand years ago, ... but whether or not this Evil Emperor left behind a Cave Mansion, that’s another matter.”

Xiao Ruoling chuckled lightly, ”Seems both real and unreal, true and false, truth within lies.”

Shen Hanyue curled her red lips, ”I still think there aren’t that many fools.”

”Greed can cloud judgment.” Xiao Ruoling laughed, ”It’s not impossible, ... I will let the disciples in the palace and various sects spread this news.”

”Senior Sister,” Shen Hanyue hurriedly said, ”if the Court investigates, they’ll definitely come to trouble us.”

Once this rumor spreads, if there are really fools who believe it, then Yujing will be in trouble.

Just like the second Eastern Territory.

If Yujing can withstand it, that’s fine, but if not, and many lives are lost, the Court will definitely hold the rumor-mongers accountable.

With so many people in Yao Yue Palace spreading the news, there’s no way to hide it from the Court.

Xiao Ruoling said softly, ”It’s alright.”

Even if the Court knows it’s Yao Yue Palace’s doing, it’s not something serious.

This is just a minor matter; the Court wouldn’t punish Yao Yue Palace for this, they might even feign ignorance.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”I will inform the Emperor of this matter in advance, the responsibility lies with me.”

Shen Hanyue smiled, ”That’s for the best.”

He is the Princely Heir and also a Great Grandmaster, so he stands in an invincible position.

No matter how big the responsibility, as long as it’s not treason, the Court won’t blame him.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and shook his head, indeed, his own women were more considerate.

He turned his gaze to the young man, whose eyes were already bloodshot with anger, and shook his head. As the Sword Soul descended, the blazing torch-like gaze quickly dimmed.

Shen Hanyue widened her eyes, staring unblinkingly, trying to understand how Chu Zhiyuan managed to kill the person.

This method of killing was too strange, too stunning, with no forewarning and no trace.

Killing invisibly, making people feel a chill in their hearts.

Chu Zhiyuan turned his head towards the young woman and shook his head, ”There’s nothing worth asking anymore.”

The young woman remained motionless, her breath quickly cut off.

Shen Hanyue’s big eyes opened wider, this time watching Chu Zhiyuan from start to finish.

Chu Zhiyuan didn’t move his hands or feet, just looked at the young woman, and her breath was cut off.

Could it be that killing required just a thought?

Xiao Ruoling covered her mouth with a light laugh, ”Junior Sister, did you see clearly?”

”I saw it clearly but didn’t understand it,” Shen Hanyue stared at Chu Zhiyuan in confusion, ”What kind of secret technique is this?”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, ”It’s a sword technique obtained by a fortunate encounter, driven by spiritual power.”

The Glazed Blade Scripture obtained with Xu Yingying was also acquired by a chance encounter.

Xu Yingying was a child of fortune, and one could gain much luck and benefits from her.

The Miao Ling Pearl and Glazed Blade Scripture were the greatest benefits, involving the progress of one’s cultivation.

Shen Hanyue said, ”Isn’t this sword technique invincible?”

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, ”It’s not that easy. There are many limitations, and using it has side effects. In short, it’s not that simple.”

”That’s more like it.” Shen Hanyue snorted.

Watching the young man and woman slowly corrode and shrink until they became two skeletons, they floated away.

Shen Hanyue looked around, ”Are there any more demonic people nearby?”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Haven’t seen any for now, rest assured, Yao Yue Peak is safe now.”

Xiao Ruoling sighed softly, ”This time was really dangerous.”

Shen Hanyue giggled, ”Luckily, the Princely Heir was present, so no one would call you foolish, Senior Sister.”

The people of Yao Yue Peak all admired Xiao Ruoling, for she was fair and steady in her actions, thorough in consideration, attending to all aspects with an exquisite character unmatched by others.

But when it came to matters involving Chu Zhiyuan, she seemed to become a different person, sending gifts to Prince Qing Mansion every few days to please Princess Qing and the Commandery Princess.

She was the Holy Daughter of Yao Yue Palace, an inheritor of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman Technique and Taiyin Great Refining Form, even more noble than royalty.

Though the Princely Heir was a rare genius in a millennium, it was understandable to curry favor with him.

But why go out of her way to flatter his family?

No matter how they tried to advise her, Xiao Ruoling remained persistent.

Shen Hanyue was naturally among the most opposed.

At this moment, she felt that Chu Zhiyuan’s contributions were significant, with far-reaching influence on Yao Yue Palace.

So, treating him better was not wrong.

Chu Zhiyuan favored his future Heir’s Wife, so being good to her and helping Yao Yue Palace was like extending love to others.

She pondered secretly, this was perhaps similar to how Senior Sister treated Prince Qing Mansion, all because of extending love to others.

The two of them could be said to reciprocate each other’s deep feelings.

She suddenly felt rather superfluous now.

Especially when Chu Zhiyuan smiled and held Xiao Ruoling’s jade-like hand, laughing, ”Foolish?”

She snorted, ”If someone says Senior Sister is foolish again, I’ll surely scold them, ... shall we return?”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Let’s sweep around again and expand the range a bit.”

He then took Xiao Ruoling and swept through a hundred-mile radius, eliminating over thirty demonic figures from the Evil Sect.

Shen Hanyue followed closely.

She was too curious about Chu Zhiyuan’s secret technique, wanting to see what the side effects were.

But after Chu Zhiyuan killed so many demonic figures, he showed no signs of weakness, on the contrary, he seemed even more spirited.

Even for an Innate Master, it would be remarkable, but eliminating even a Grandmaster at a glance was too unbelievable.

——

When Chu Zhiyuan returned to Yujing City, the news of the Evil Emperor was already spreading within the city.

Upon returning to the mansion, Feng Xi presented him with a letter.

It was a letter from Chu Mingrui.

Chu Zhiyuan opened the letter, his expression growing more solemn as he frowned and looked towards the Northern Territory.

Chu Mingrui’s poison was worsening, causing him to fall into a coma, becoming extremely weak and losing consciousness for at least five hours a day.

For the remaining time, his spirits were not strong, often suffering severe headaches.

Chu Zhiyuan noticed that the handwriting in the letter had become sloppy and erratic.

This indicated that Chu Mingrui’s mind was in turmoil.

The Court’s Imperial Physician and Great Grandmasters had arrived, bringing Detoxification Elixirs.

But they had no effect.

It seemed inevitable that he would have to face this challenge and make final arrangements.

Chu Zhiyuan looked north once more.

By now, Meng Canglan should have arrived, along with experts from the Wuyou Sect.

He only wondered if his message had arrived in advance and allowed Meng Canglan to see it successfully.

With a heavy heart, he decided to stay in the mansion focused on cultivation, as well as monitoring the movements of various Evil Sect members.

Several dark red lines gradually approached Yujing, and he needed to be wary of the Great Grandmasters.

They should have also passed down secret techniques to hide their presence.

This was extremely troublesome.

Apart from the Great Grandmasters, Grandmasters and Innate Realm demonic figures were also closing in.

He watched as the red lines on the statue grew thicker, feeling both heavy-hearted and exhilarated.

This time, he could fight to his heart’s content.

By the next evening, he received another letter from Chu Mingrui.

The handwriting was once again neat and strong.

Meng Canglan indeed helped him detoxify.

Of course, he now knew it was the Curse Technique from the Southern Border.

Publicly, it was announced that he had merely experienced a deviation in cultivation and had now recovered.

To insiders and the Court, they would say he was poisoned.

There would be no mention of the Southern Border’s secret technique.

Chu Zhiyuan breathed a long sigh of relief.

Indeed, it had to be kept secret since there was no means to retaliate against the Southern Border now, nor was there any certainty of victory.

What surprised Chu Zhiyuan more was that Chu Mingrui would be returning to the capital for recuperation along with the Court’s envoy this time.
