Chapter 915: Chapter 911: Retreat

Chu Zhiyuan appeared in his small courtyard, his expression solemn.

Seeing Hu Yuni again, her cultivation had subtly improved.

Clearly, her cultivation had advanced even further.

Such a cultivation speed is quite terrifying.

To her eyes, he is the best prey now.

How can this threat be removed, how to kill her?

Such a character will undoubtedly be a leader among the Demon Realm in the future; eliminating her would weaken the Demon Realm.

But Hu Yuni is indeed difficult to kill.

Standing in the center of the courtyard, he furrowed his brow in thought, eventually shaking his head.

The Demon Realm still needs to be visited.

As the level of the Heavenly Dragon Introduction increases, the power required for advancement becomes increasingly formidable.

Killing over two hundred Demon Clan experts and absorbing their Demon Crystals is far from enough to advance the Heavenly Dragon Introduction one level.

He contemplated carefully, judging that to push the Heavenly Dragon Introduction to the Seventh Transformation, at least two thousand Demon Crystals are needed, and they must be top-tier.

If they are ordinary Demon Crystals, he might need ten thousand.

This is only the Seventh Transformation, and it is unimaginable how many Demon Crystals it would take to advance to the Ninth Transformation or even Perfection.

Hu Yuni treats him as prey, and he treats the Demon Clan as prey.

Thinking of this, a murderous intent flickered in his eyes, just as Fu Zheng arrived lightly.

Seeing Chu Zhiyuan like this, she hurriedly asked, ”Your Highness, what’s the matter?”

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: ”How is it on that side?”

”Still haven’t found a solution.” Fu Zheng sighed helplessly, ”Can’t do anything with the ice jade.”

”That black hoe doesn’t work either?”

”No.” Fu Zheng sighed, ”It’s so frustrating, the treasures are right before us, yet we can’t enjoy them!”

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled, the murderous intent in his eyes restrained: ”Do you feel it would have been better not to obtain them?”

”Better to have them than not,” Fu Zheng laughed, ”Watching them right here is pretty good too.”

Chu Zhiyuan couldn’t help but laugh.

Fu Zheng continued, ”Master Zhuang decided to invite people from the other Three Sects to come and see if a solution can be found.”

Chu Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow, nodding slowly, ”This idea is quite good, what about the Heavenly Palace?”

Fu Zheng shook her head, ”Master Zhuang thinks to first seek the other Three Sects, and if no solution is found, then seek the Heavenly Palace.”

”Interesting.” Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

This is akin to brothers fighting internally; the Four Great Sects are still closer, despite constant overt and covert conflicts.

But compared to the Heavenly Palace and the Imperial Family, the Four Sects are indeed closer.

”Your Highness, Master Zhuang also wants to know your opinion.”

”My opinion is to invite the other Three Sects and the Heavenly Palace simultaneously.”

”But...”

”Don’t forget my identity,” Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, ”I cannot stand together with the Four Great Sects.”

He can ally with the Phoenix Sword Sect, but cannot truly stand in a group with the Four Great Sects.

He is a Prince Consort, a member of the Royal Family, and the Imperial Family stands with the Heavenly Palace.

”Yes!” Fu Zheng nodded solemnly.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Did the Third Prince’s wedding go smoothly?”

”Very smoothly.” Fu Zheng said, ”Neither the Demon Clan nor the Demon Clan interfered, ... Oh, it seems the Demon Clan’s experts have retreated.”

Chu Zhiyuan frowned.

Having posed a threat in the Demon Realm, he did not think it would be effective, it was merely an attitude, an excuse, even a move to provoke them.

Once provoked, they would come continuously, saving him the trouble of seeking them.

That the Demon Clan experts would retreat is evidently unusual.

If things are abnormal, there must be demons.

Chu Zhiyuan asked, ”Why did they retreat?”

Fu Zheng smiled, ”To avoid you, Your Highness.”

Chu Zhiyuan frowned.

Fu Zheng said, ”They’ve all heard that Your Highness fought with Hu Yuni from Star-picking Cliff and survived.”

Chu Zhiyuan frowned tighter, ”They actually know this?”

His battle with Hu Yuni was only two days ago.

Yet, in such a short time, the news traveled from the Demon Realm to outside the Phoenix Imperial City.

This indicates rapid communication within the Demon Clan, far quicker than he imagined.

Even if they have treasures like Spiritual Rhinoceros Pearls, they are bound to be few, shouldn’t spread so fast.

This suggests they possess techniques on par with Spiritual Rhinoceros Pearls and are quite widespread.

This greatly aids in sieges, making collaboration more seamless, and more difficult to handle.

Fu Zheng asked, ”Your Highness, how formidable is Hu Yuni?”

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

Fu Zheng said, ”I saw those Demon Clan experts all very convinced, full of admiration and awe.”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded, ”Seems her reputation is higher than I imagined.”

Hu Yuni, as a disciple of Star-picking Cliff and with astonishing talent, also possessing Spiritual Treasure, is naturally no obscure figure.

But her renown is unexpectedly high, so greatly esteemed.

”Reportedly, Hu Yuni is a rare genius worldwide, with noble bloodline, a born great figure, not a single Demon Clan expert among them showed disbelief.”

”Hmm, her bloodline must be formidable.”

”Her bloodline is potent, but can it compare to the Phoenix Bloodline?”

”... Hard to say.” Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

Fu Zheng’s bright eyes widened.

Chu Zhiyuan solemnly said, ”They focus on the ice jade, keep an eye on that hoe, and figure out how to form a Flying Knife quickly.”

”Yes!” Fu Zheng nodded solemnly, ”Qianji Tower has already started looking for Artifact Refining Masters and found two top-tier Artifact Refining Masters, but no solution yet.”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded, ”Continue, the sooner the better.”

The flying knife refined from the hoe might penetrate Hu Yuni’s defense.

Hu Yuni’s talent and bloodline are too strong, growing too quickly; the sooner she is killed, the better.

Better not to fail in killing her only to be killed by her.

——

Chu Zhiyuan strolled along the street, accompanied by Fu Zheng and Li Yuzhen at his sides.

His gaze fell upon a young man among the opposite crowd.

The Bright Moon hung high, yet its brilliance was dimmed by surrounding lantern illumination.

Dozens of lanterns hanging high in the air brightened the entire street like daylight.

The surroundings bustling and crowded, with a constant flow of pedestrians, either families, friends, or alone walking melancholically.

Chu Zhiyuan let out a light laugh, clasping his hands and raising his voice, ”How is the Fifth Prince faring?”

His voice echoed through the bustling crowd, entering the ears of the group across.

The handsome young man opposite stopped, furrowing sword brows, under which starlike eyes flickered, slowly clasping his hands, ”Ninth Prince, how are you?”

Chu Zhiyuan silently praised him.

Indeed, accurately calling his name indicated a long view of his portrait.

He stepped forward to stand before Fifth Prince Yuanzhen Cheng Yunzheng, smiling, ”Has the Fifth Prince’s cultivation not recovered, no Spirit Pill?”

His severe injury to him became his best disguise.

Cheng Yunzheng found this replacement, his appearance and demeanour nearly identical, but cultivation couldn’t match.

After all, Cheng Yunzheng practices Yuanzhen Imperial Family’s mental method, which he dare not pass on.

Being injured and unable to use True Yuan is the best cover.

Certainly, without his intervention, Cheng Yunzheng would probably claim a mishap during practice as an excuse.

Cheng Yunzheng coldly said, ”More than Spirit Pill, I prefer to recover it myself.”

”Admirable.” Chu Zhiyuan’s gaze swept toward his side.

Among six guards, two were Venerables.

And one woman was dressed as a man, none other than Princess Yuanzhen Thirteen Cheng Ruoxi.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded slightly, ”Greetings, Thirteenth Prince.”

Cheng Ruoxi smiled, ”The Prince Consort has been making quite the stir lately.”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled at her.

Cheng Ruoxi said, ”The Four Great Sects have all been stirred up, in a mess.”

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head with a chuckle, ”Just a coincidence.”

He frowned inwardly.

Cheng Ruoxi’s implication was that she suspected him of deliberately stirring the Four Great Sects into conflict, thereby weakening the Phoenix Dynasty.
