Chapter 477: Chapter 474 Welcoming

```html

Cheng Yifeng’s already large eyes widened at the news.

Cheng Miaozhen gently furrowed her dark eyebrows.

This Evil Emperor Cave Mansion appeared too coincidentally.

As soon as the rumor of the Evil Emperor Cave Mansion spread, it appeared.

She speculated that it was once again Chu Zhiyuan’s handiwork.

One move after another, ruthless enough to make these Evil Sect cultists unable to resist.

The legend of the Evil Emperor might make many rational cultists ignore it, resisting temptation.

Once this Evil Emperor Cave Mansion appears, even the remaining rational ones will rush over without hesitation.

Whether true or false, only seeing will tell.

Even if judged false, one would still want to see it personally.

Is Chu Zhiyuan really trying to capture the entire Evil Sect in one go?

But isn’t he afraid of all the Evil Sect Great Grandmasters taking action together?

It’s said that the Da Jing Court has nineteen Great Grandmasters, and adding him makes twenty.

Many of these Great Grandmasters are in Secret Cave Heavens.

The combined number of the Evil Sect Great Grandmasters should exceed this count.

Even if not exceeded, it’s not far off.

...Looks like he plans to rely on the power of the Emperor’s Sword to deal with these Evil Sect Great Grandmasters.

Yet, she doesn’t realize she’s guessed wrong.

Chu Zhiyuan doesn’t intend to use the Emperor’s Sword but wants to kill these Great Grandmasters himself.

The gains from killing Great Grandmasters far surpass those from Grandmasters, and Grandmasters exceed Innate Realm.

Killing over these few days has greatly strengthened the Sword Soul; Divinity Transformation Realm is nearing perfection.

But the closer it gets to Divinity Transformation perfection, the slower the progress; just lacking a bit yet unable to get closer.

Killing several Grandmasters in one go still failed to close the gap.

He vaguely knew.

He needed Great Grandmasters.

From nearing perfection to perfection, this step requires a qualitative leap.

Mere accumulation of Grandmasters’ numbers is very difficult; Great Grandmasters are key.

Killing Evil Sect experts is like fishing; the Evil Emperor rumor is the decoy, and the Cave Mansion rumor is the actual bait.

The decoy can attract a school of small fish, while the bait ensures catching big fish.

He wandered through Yujing City, with the Dragon Transformation Technique and Yin Yang Return to Void Technique continuously operating.

Under the Yin Yang Return to Void Technique, the Dragon Transformation Technique’s energy fluctuations were concealed.

As a Great Grandmaster, standing before Grandmasters, or even Innate Masters, he wouldn’t exert pressure.

The Dragon Transformation Technique made his body robust but showed no outward sign, even appearing delicate.

The concealed aura of the Yin Yang Return to Void Technique differs from that of a peculiar pearl, a true change in temperament.

This made him leave no trace, thoroughly like someone with no martial skills.

Walking among the crowd, people found it hard to recognize him as a Martial Arts expert, let alone a Great Grandmaster.

After circling around and returning to the other courtyard, he saw Weng Qifeng was already on the brink of a breakthrough.

The Golden Tower was already half-revealed, just a step away.

This progress was extremely rapid.

Seeing Weng Qifeng focused on cultivation, he didn’t disturb and directly left the other courtyard.

——

Bright sunlight shone on the melting snow.

Outside the South City Gate, the forest still had patches of white snow.

In a small pavilion by the path through the woods, four handsome youths stood inside, occasionally gazing toward the end of the official road.

They were Chu Zhiyuan, Chu Zhichuan, Chu Zhitian, and Chu Mingxuan, preparing to welcome Chu Mingrui.

This time, Chu Mingrui returned not with fanfare, but quietly with a light entourage.

”Not here yet?” Chu Mingxuan stomped his foot: ”Why the delay again?”

Chu Zhitian said: ”He should have arrived.”

Half an hour ago, a scout had reported he would arrive in half an hour, but now it’s over a quarter past.

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”Maybe he met an acquaintance and got delayed by conversation.”

”Could he really meet an acquaintance here?”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled: ”It’s not surprising if Uncle Tenth met an acquaintance here.”

”Here they come, here they come!” Chu Mingxuan exclaimed excitedly.

At the road’s end, a dozen fine horses surrounded a handsome middle-aged man, none other than Prince Ying, Chu Mingrui.

He wasn’t wearing armor, nor were a dozen of his knights, but the military presence in them was evident.

Chu Mingrui wore a plain blue robe, yet his posture was upright like a spear, his handsome face gentle yet dignified.

This was the demeanor formed from commanding thousands of troops over a long period, impossible to hide.

Chu Zhiyuan and the others went forward to greet him.

”Father!” Chu Zhitian stepped up and saluted.

Chu Zhiyuan and the others followed with a salute.

Chu Mingrui dismounted, his handsome face full of wind and frost, with white already showing at his temples, as he laughed: ”Why are you all here?”

Chu Mingxuan laughed: ”Uncle Tenth, with you returning, how can we not greet you? How was the journey?”

”Quite smooth,” Chu Mingrui smiled: ”except for encountering more Evil Sect folks.”

”Oh, that’s all Fourth Brother’s doing, wanting to wipe out the Evil Sect cultists,” Chu Mingxuan laughed.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled: ”Uncle Tenth, let’s enter the city first; this isn’t a place to talk.”

He had a lot to discuss with Chu Mingrui, especially about his curse.

”Let’s go, into the city!” Chu Mingrui laughed.

——

Chu Mingrui and Chu Zhiyuan were at the front, followed by Chu Mingxuan, Chu Zhitian, and Chu Zhichuan.

Many guards scattered around.

Chu Zhiyuan glanced at them, nodding in satisfaction: ”Uncle Tenth, their formation training is indeed impressive.”

Chu Mingrui laughed: ”The Thunder Spear Formation is now fully mastered, each squad can form it, and the effect is excellent. Without the Thunder Spear Formation, I wouldn’t have managed.”

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”Is there really going to be a truce with Da Meng?”

”There’s no war in the foreseeable future,” Chu Mingrui said: ”The new emperor needs time to settle things, at least to streamline the military leaders.”

”Is Li Hongzhao really the Emperor now?”

”Absolutely.”

”What about the Eldest Prince?”

”He wasn’t recognized by the Emperor’s Sword, while it easily accepted Li Hongzhao as its master.”

”Why wasn’t he recognized? Lack of accomplishments or character issues?”

”Publicly, it’s said to be due to lack of accomplishments since he was always training in the mansion, but actually, it’s a character issue; he once plotted against Li Hongzhao.”

Chu Zhiyuan frowned: ”Could someone really be that foolish?”

Was the last Detoxification Pearl incident instigated by the Eldest Prince?

”Not everyone believes the Emperor’s Sword,” Chu Mingrui chuckled: ”And inherent nature is hard to change, lacking self-control.”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly.

Most people know what shouldn’t be done, but often due to character, they knowingly do what they shouldn’t, making a mess of their lives.

The Eldest Prince likely couldn’t suppress his jealousy and apprehension, feeling his actions were secretive, seeking loopholes.

Resulting in being seen through by the Emperor’s Sword.

The emperor’s secret edict summoned Li Hongzhao back to the capital, possibly after the Eldest Prince tried and was not recognized by the Emperor’s Sword, thus allowing Li Hongzhao to return and succeed.

Either the Emperor’s Sword recognized no one or chose Li Hongzhao.

The emperor really had no choice.

No wonder Li Hongzhao was allowed to ascend.

Chu Mingrui felt relieved: ”Da Meng won’t have time for conflicts for a while; a female emperor is unprecedented, leaving too many dissatisfied, keeping her quite busy.”

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”Uncle Tenth, do you think she can stabilize her position?”

Chu Mingrui looked at him: ”I’m not familiar with this Ninth Princess, what’s your take, Fourth Brother?”

”...Hard to say.” Chu Zhiyuan slowly responded.

Li Hongzhao’s key strengths lie in her determined spirit and tenacity.

She wouldn’t panic in adversity, with the Emperor’s Sword and the support of the Phoenix Sword Sect, she should be fine.

But she can’t erase her weak foundation’s fatal flaw, especially in the military.

Whether she can secure her reign is truly unpredictable.

”Do you think if she stabilizes her position, she’ll start a war?”

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”She is very pragmatic; she won’t do anything without benefits.”

”Then it’s negotiable,” Chu Mingrui laughed: ”Fourth Brother, why don’t you take a trip to Tianjing and meet this new emperor?”
