Chapter 640 A Dragon Spring in a Three-Inch Tongue (Part 1)
"What does the Crown Prince mean by this?"

Su Che, carrying the Nameless Sword, bowed to Yun Yunlue.

"Zuo Lengchan, a recluse from the Central Plains, pays his respects to the Crown Prince."

"Zuo Lengchan?"

Yun Yun looked at Su Che with annoyance.

Why did you kill my men and wound my soldiers?

Normally, he would have ordered his men to skin and dismember this damned rogue cultivator, and turn his soul into toys in the palace. But now, he had suffered heavy losses, and several of his Core Formation subordinates were injured. Even Yun Yun himself felt somewhat powerless at this moment.

The backlash after the formation was broken was truly overwhelming.

"Your Highness may not know, but the one who broke your formation just now was one of the most notorious evil spirits in the Central Plains. He also committed many evil deeds in the Liang court, stealing the belts of the eunuchs in the inner court. The Liang court issued a bounty on his head and issued a warrant for his arrest throughout the land. However, because this fellow has a magic artifact in his possession, we have not been able to find his whereabouts."

Su Che spoke with great confidence.

"I have also clashed with this monster several times. I saw at a glance that this thief was hiding in the Crown Prince's formation, seemingly intending to harm the Crown Prince. That is why I took action in anger."

As he spoke, his eyes kept glancing at General Xuanlian beside him.

"I tried to warn him several times, but this general wouldn't listen and instead forced the formation to activate, which led to the current situation."

Yun Yun seemed to be deep in thought, but Xuan Lian wouldn't allow Zuo Lengchan to continue throwing mud at him.

According to Zuo Lengchan's explanation, it was his own mistake that he not only allowed the villains to infiltrate the formation, but also distrusted good people and became an accomplice of that demon monkey.

If this is implemented, will I still be able to make a living under this 64th prince?
"These are all just empty words without any evidence!"

"The Crown Prince has a keen eye for the future."

Su Che opened his mouth and said to Yun Yun, "Just now, the general was manipulating the formation. There were some inconsistencies... I think the Crown Prince, who was in charge, should have noticed them."

Su Che was very confident that this Crown Prince of the Dragon King would not be able to see through his methods.

This Dragon Prince is only at the Core Formation stage, and his cultivation is close to the Primordial Demon God's Hunyuan Dao. His understanding of the laws should not be too high, otherwise he would not have been able to find his weakness and break his formation.

Yun Yun frowned, as if he was thinking about something.

"You said that monster just now had a void artifact?"

Void artifacts form their own world and are rare treasures that are hard to come by in this world. Even Yun Yun, the crown prince of the Qiantang lineage, would be tempted to acquire them upon hearing about them.

"There must be, otherwise it would be impossible to explain how he was able to disappear without a trace."

Su Che explained, "That fellow cultivates demonic arts and is good at absorbing the essence of others to strengthen his own cultivation. I have fought with him several times before, but I did not expect to run into him again on the East Sea."

Yun Yun felt a pang of heartache at the thought.

Had he known that the demon monkey possessed a Void Artifact, he would never have used the Sunfire Pearl against it. That object was a defensive artifact that his father, the Dragon Lord of Qiantang, had refined by collecting the essence of the sun's fire during his ascent to the outer void, making it extremely rare.

This time, however, it was taken away by that demon monkey.

"That being said, you can't escape suspicion either."

General Xuanlian let out a cold snort, forcing himself to continue the attack.

"okay."

Yun Yun waved his hand.

He glanced at the numerous aquatic creatures struggling to survive on the azure waves.

The Dragon King of Qiantang had ambitions for this land, so he was very strict in educating his disciples. Every five years, he would gather his disciples to evaluate their strengths and weaknesses and then rank them.

The reason he secured his position as the sixty-fourth prince was not because he was the sixty-fourth among his brothers, but because of his supernatural powers and the fact that his tribe had been ranked sixty-fourth in the previous ranking.

Although this calamity did not fundamentally harm him, it did deplete his vitality. It is unknown where he will be ranked when the Dragon King evaluates his disciples again in two years.

"Mr. Zuo has come from the Central Plains. Where are you headed?"

Yun Yun's attitude changed, and he became somewhat polite.

"Your Highness, I am preparing to board a cloud boat and travel to the depths of the East Sea for sightseeing."

"Oh?"

Yun Yun looked Zuo Lengchan up and down.

"Mr. Zuo, what you say is not entirely true. I, the Crown Prince, am prepared to arrest you and interrogate you properly."

Su Che glanced back coldly.

Torture?

Be careful that demon monkey doesn't come back to kill us again.

"However, seeing that you are somewhat upright, you may leave. This will prevent others from laughing at me for being intolerant and taking my anger out on an outsider like you when my own men make a mistake." The Dragon Prince spoke with a touch of magnanimity, then casually waved his hand to signal him to leave.

“If it were any other day, I might have let you stay for a few drinks, but given how things have turned out today, you might as well continue on your way.”

"Your Highness, this scoundrel..."

General Xuanlian quickly spoke up.

What a joke! If we let this guy surnamed Zuo go, wouldn't I, Lao Hei, have to take the blame?

"I thank Your Highness for your keen insight."

Su Che replied with an expression of deep admiration.

"If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely visit the Crown Prince. I just don't know the Crown Prince's name..."

"This is Yun Yun."

The sixty-fourth prince shook his finger.

"You have a long way to go, please make your own way."

Su Che offered his thanks again before riding the escape light and heading straight into the distance.

Guan Qing, who had been quietly observing from afar, quickly came forward to greet them.

"Brother Zuo, you have truly mastered the art. I had no idea that there was a demon lurking inside."

"Alas, the spiritual perception of the method that I, Zuo, practice is extremely sharp."

Su Che was secretly delighted.

How could they not be perceptive? They could make monsters appear wherever they wanted them to.

This Wuzhiqi is indeed useful. If a similar situation arises again in the future, it would be better to release him first.

"I wonder where that monster went. Will it come looking for revenge on Brother Zuo?"

Guan Qing's concern was indeed very sincere.

An enemy with a void artifact is truly terrifying; there's no way of knowing where he might appear from.

"With Crown Prince Yun Yun here, it probably won't have time to come looking for me. Besides, I'm not afraid of it."

Upon hearing this, Guan Qing gave a thumbs-up again.

"Brother Zuo, you have truly mastered the art. Crown Prince Yun Yun's decision to let you go this time clearly shows his appreciation for you. If you ask me, why not take this opportunity to visit you again another day with a gift?"

Visiting Yun Yun?

Su Che smiled upon hearing this.

Once I've gathered that Void-Step Ghost Cultivator, I'll inevitably have to come and pay my respects again.

The two disappeared into the light, leaving only a desolate scene on the sea.

General Xuanlian looked at the blue sea that had been dyed red, and everywhere there were aquatic creatures missing limbs and hands. The Purple Soul Octopus's eighteen tentacles were reduced to only two, the Jingni's tail was severed in mid-air, the shrimp soldiers were bent over, and the crab generals had their pincers broken. Everywhere was desolate and tragic, and he couldn't help but feel a deep sorrow in his heart.

"Your Highness, so many aquatic creatures..."

"okay."

Yun Yun didn't want to watch his subordinates continue their clumsy performance.

"It's not that I don't trust you. It's just that some things need to be done gradually."

Xuanlian was overjoyed upon hearing this.

"Your Highness means..."

“I think there’s something wrong with this guy surnamed Zuo, Xuan He and Jin Lian.”

Yun Yun gave instructions to the two Great Demons who had reached the Core Formation stage.

“Go to my fourteenth brother’s place and tell him the truth about what’s going on.”

"The Fourteenth Prince?"

Xuanlian looked at Yunyun: "He..."

"What I, at sixty-four, cannot accomplish, my fourteenth brother should be able to do with ease."

Yun Yun looked at the sea and said, "Let's pack up and go back to the Water Mansion to recuperate."
