Imperial Cultivation

Chapter 870: Chapter 866: Seizure

”Your Highness, it’s useless.” Cheng Ruoxi shook her head and said, ”Fifth Brother will never stop.”

Yet, Chu Zhiyuan had already drifted far away.

Cheng Ruoxi hurriedly said, ”I know Fifth Brother’s weakness!”

But Chu Zhiyuan continued to drift away, as if he hadn’t heard her.

Cheng Ruoxi stomped her foot and snorted.

A middle-aged woman said softly, ”Your Highness, this Ninth Prince is quite formidable.”

The words of the Thirteenth Princess were extremely tempting, especially in such a situation, even more so.

Yet, Chu Liezhao didn’t stop at all and did not fall for it, showing his toughness.

No wonder he had such a big reputation in the Yuanzhen Dynasty.

However, Chu Zhiyuan’s reputation in the Jade Dynasty and the Phoenix Dynasty was not as great as in the Yuanzhen Dynasty.

In the Jade Dynasty, he was just the Ninth Prince, not very famous.

This was due to the combined actions of several factions restraining his fame and influence.

The Phoenix Dynasty was the same, because of the superiority complex of its people.

They were also intentionally suppressing his reputation, not wanting his deeds to spread.

But Yuanzhen was very concerned about the matters of the Phoenix Dynasty and the Jade Dynasty.

The people of Yuanzhen often talked about the Phoenix Dynasty and the Jade Dynasty over tea and meals.

They discussed the major events that happened in the Phoenix Dynasty and the Jade Dynasty as if listing family treasures.

Although Chu Zhiyuan’s fame was suppressed in the two dynasties, his deeds could not be covered up.

From these deeds, the people of Yuanzhen discovered Chu Zhiyuan’s formidable aspects.

Meanwhile, when he competed against the Prince Yuanzhen for the Phoenix Twelfth Princess and won, they hated him but also admired him even more.

It was the same for the sons of Yuanzhen, including the Thirteenth Princess Cheng Ruoxi.

Before coming to the Phoenix Dynasty, she focused on studying two people.

One was the Third Prince Li Chunhou, the other was Chu Zhiyuan.

The former was her husband, someone to live with for a lifetime, someone to conquer.

The latter was someone she considered the most difficult to deal with, someone she needed to be ready to handle.

She judged that Chu Zhiyuan could stand firm and then take the lead, greatly influencing the Twelfth Princess Li Miaotan, and also greatly influencing the Third Prince Li Chunhou.

More importantly, he was the Ninth Prince of the Jade Dynasty, a major enemy of Yuanzhen.

”Your Highness, should we pursue him?” the middle-aged woman asked softly.

Her appearance was ordinary, but she was a Venerable, and a High Rank Venerable at that.

”Aunt Xu, let’s stay here, no need to rush.”

”Once the Fifth Prince enters the Imperial City, the crisis will be resolved.”

”Is it really a crisis though?” Cheng Ruoxi said dismissively, ”Can he really hurt Fifth Brother?”

The middle-aged woman gently shook her head and said, ”Your Highness, this Prince Consort is very dangerous.”

Cheng Ruoxi looked at her in surprise.

The middle-aged woman said, ”When he approached, I felt nothing, not even the experts of the Demon Clan can do this.”

Cheng Ruoxi frowned and said, ”But he can’t break through Fifth Brother’s defenses.”

The middle-aged woman sighed and shook her head, ”Anyway, the feeling he gives me is extremely dangerous, I just want to stay far away from him.”

Her defensive power was not as strong as Cheng Yunzheng’s, but her sense of danger was sharper.

This was also her unique skill that she was proud of, which allowed her to grow to her current level.

Seeing Chu Zhiyuan, her first reaction was to retreat, to avoid his edge, and not to offend him.

Cheng Ruoxi looked at her, slowly nodding, ”Then I’ll listen to you, Aunt Xu.”

The middle-aged woman smiled.

This was also the strength of the Thirteenth Princess, despite being incredibly clever, she was not arrogant, but instead, could humbly listen to advice.

Chu Zhiyuan followed behind Cheng Yunzheng at a distance of a hundred meters, neither fast nor slow.

He was quickly weighing his options in his mind.

To deal with Cheng Yunzheng, actually, the Heavenly Illusion Pavilion was the most useful, making Cheng Yunzheng attack himself.

No matter how strong his defensive Spiritual Treasure was, he couldn’t defend against harm coming from his own strength.

But he has always kept the Heavenly Illusion Pavilion as a trump card, not wanting to reveal it.

Among the three Spiritual Treasures, only the Swift Light Sword was exposed, anyone who saw the other two had to die.

Only when dealing with someone who must be killed would he reveal them, otherwise, they must never be shown.

Cheng Yunzheng could only be injured, not killed, so he still couldn’t use the Heavenly Illusion Pavilion.

What he could do now was just to severely humiliate him, releasing some pent-up anger.

Thinking of this, he shook his head helplessly.

He was still lacking a powerful killing move, the Glazed Glass Blade was still a bit lacking.

The Martial Arts of Little Outer Heaven didn’t suit the conditions here, its power wasn’t enough.

Having come to Outer Heaven, among the Martial Arts learned, the Heavenly Dragon Divine Palm and Great Brightness Fist were the strongest, but unfortunately, they couldn’t break the defense of the Spiritual Treasure.

He suddenly thought of the Great Demon Suppressing Seal.

Then, with a step forward, he appeared not far behind Cheng Yunzheng, forming seals with both hands, and layers of golden nets spread out.

Cheng Yunzheng shook his head disdainfully and continued to move forward, ignoring the attack of flying knives.

The repeated collisions of eight flying knives only slowed him down but couldn’t stop him.

The golden nets drifted down onto him, but were blocked by an invisible force and couldn’t continue descending.

Chu Zhiyuan stubbornly continued forming seals, casting without stopping.

Layer upon layer of golden nets coalesced in the air, finally forming a giant net, covering Cheng Yunzheng.

Cheng Yunzheng sneered indifferently, ”It’s useless, nothing will work!”

Any power trying to harm him would be blocked and dissolved by the Spiritual Treasure.

So Chu Zhiyuan was destined to be futile, and would just feel increasingly hopeless.

Chu Zhiyuan’s expression remained calm, seemingly not affected much.

This made Cheng Yunzheng frown.

Could it be that Chu Liezhao hasn’t lost hope, not even a bit of frustration?

This was too unusual.

Did Chu Liezhao have some other trump card?

He was feeling unprecedentedly good, his protective power growing stronger and more overwhelming, unstoppable.

If Chu Zhiyuan’s current power wasn’t pure, it would have lost its effect long ago.

Chu Zhiyuan suddenly flashed and appeared in front of him, throwing several punches almost simultaneously.

”Bang, bang, bang, bang...” Waves surged around Cheng Yunzheng’s body, like ripples on a lake.

Yet, he was unscathed, even patting his coat, showing an unconcerned demeanor: ”It’s useless.”

Chu Zhiyuan suddenly flashed several times, already appearing on the peak of the opposite mountain.

Meanwhile, other flying knives continued to attack him relentlessly.

Chu Zhiyuan sat cross-legged on a boulder, beginning to contact his main body.

The main body, wandering on the street, sensed his call and turned back to its courtyard.

Moments later, the main body began to evolve Divine Skills, operating the Spiritual Abyss Body Cleansing Record.

The Heavenly Concealment Pearl ignored the world’s barrier, entering from the clone into the main body’s Yongquan.

The clone’s Yongquan acupoint instantly cleared on one side, with Swift Light Sword only occupying the left side of Yongquan.

Chu Zhiyuan rose, entering a forest below, and began practicing the First Form of the Spiritual Abyss Body Cleansing Record.

Moments later, he felt the presence of the Spiritual Abyss’s power still lingering in both feet’s Yongquan.

Then, in the next moment, he caught up with Cheng Yunzheng, who had escaped two miles, kicking with his right foot.

Cheng Yunzheng sneered disdainfully, letting his right leg and foot approach his body, but stopped a foot away.

”Hahaha...” Cheng Yunzheng laughed continuously.

However, Chu Zhiyuan fiercely propelled his aura, his right foot and leg continuing their attack.

He then revealed a smile.

His right leg, through the Spiritual Abyss in Yongquan, made contact with a certain mysterious rhythm.

He immediately knew it was the Spiritual Charm emanating from the Spiritual Treasure.

He smiled, urging the Spiritual Energy in both feet, continuously kicking at Cheng Yunzheng.

Finally, on the eighteenth kick, something unusual happened.

To an outsider, everything appeared normal.

But inside Chu Zhiyuan, emotions surged, experiencing a delicate and exquisite Spiritual Treasure drilling into the right side of Yongquan.
