Chapter 708 Assassination
"She joined the Spirit Guard?" Chu Honglin was surprised when he heard Chu Zhiyuan's words, "She actually joined the Spirit Guard as well?"

Chu Zhiyuan snorted, "With such extraordinary talent, how could he not want to enter the Spiritual Transformation Realm?"

The two stood side by side on Qingfeng Cliff, basking in the bright sunshine and chatting.

Chu Zhiyuan talked about the news sent by the twelfth princess.

He had no intention of keeping it secret from Chu Honglin.

Because he suspected that the twelfth princess sent this news to convey it to the emperor.

It can also be regarded as a notification to avoid a quarrel after the fact.

The reaction of the Yujing Dynasty would definitely be different if it were to tell them in advance and find out afterwards.

What's more, he also wanted to push his substitute to go there and stay in the imperial city himself.

Now that he had the Karma Stone, he could replace the Zhenwu Academy, but the Great Guangming Peak was no longer unimportant.

More importantly, it is safer to stay in the Imperial City. Going to the Phoenix Dynasty is not only dangerous, but also subject to interference from all sides, and one cannot concentrate on cultivation.

"Her courage is commendable." Chu Honglin said with emotion: "She is better than me."

I joined the Lingwei because I wanted to take a gamble, and of course I also wanted to climb up.

The world knows very little about the situation on the battlefield outside the domain, but the prince and princess know it clearly.

The world has greatly underestimated the horror of the battlefield outside the domain.

As a prince and princess, they dared to join the Spirit Guard and step into the battlefield outside the domain. It can be said that they are extremely courageous.

When they arrive at the battlefield outside the domain, the identities of the prince and princess must not be revealed, otherwise they will die faster.

The demons and monsters must be hunting desperately.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "If she dares to speak out, isn't she afraid that the demons and monsters will find out?"

Chu Honglin shook his head and said, "When we get to the battlefield outside the domain, we have to change our appearances. It's impossible for us to know."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "The matter of my substitute..."

"My brother directly rejected it." Chu Honglin said, "Even if you have made great contributions, it will be useless."

Chu Zhiyuan sighed.

Chu Honglin said, "Give up on this idea. Even if the twelfth princess uses a substitute, you can't use it. The Fengtian Palace of the Phoenix Dynasty is not a decoration. You can't hide it. The Phoenix Dynasty will turn against you directly."

"..."

Chu Zhiyuan felt suffocated again.

Only the county magistrate is allowed to set fire, but the common people are not allowed to light lamps. This is the difference in status and there is no reason to explain it.

Chu Honglin said: "Actually, this is also good news. After all, you don't have to face her in the short term."

Chu Zhiyuan laughed: "What if I face her?"

Chu Honglin shook his head and said, "She has extraordinary talent, has been spoiled since childhood, and is tough and overbearing. I don't think you can tolerate it."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "My cultivation is not as good as yours, so what if I can't bear it."

Chu Honglin looked at him with a smile: "Even if your cultivation is not as good as mine, you can't help it."

He now gradually understood Chu Zhiyuan's temper. He was proud and unwilling to be inferior to others.

With such a personality, it is really worrying to enter the Phoenix Dynasty.

But things have come to this point and cannot be changed, so we can only persuade him.

But it is difficult to change one's nature, and no amount of persuasion can change it.

We can only hope that he can face reality and stop asking for trouble.

Thinking of this, a look of pity appeared in his eyes.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Uncle Fifteen, don't worry, I will act according to the situation and will not act recklessly."

"I hope so." Chu Honglin said.

-

In the early morning, when Chu Zhiyuan arrived at Zhenwu Academy on Daguangming Peak, he found that no one else had arrived yet.

He was a little puzzled.

It was not early at this time. According to usual practice, the Third Prince should have arrived long ago.

The eldest prince and the second prince should have arrived, so he should be the last one.

He closed his eyes and began to practice.

After a quarter of an hour, no one came. After half an hour, no one came.

Chu Zhiyuan finally felt something was wrong.

He left Zhenwu Academy and when he passed by Diwu Academy, he found that there were not many people there either.

He frowned, walked down the mountain, and returned to the prince's palace.

Youlan was walking around anxiously in the courtyard. When she saw Chu Zhiyuan, she hurried over and said, "Your Highness, something happened!"

Chu Zhiyuan looked at her. Youlan followed him to the pavilion and said anxiously, "Prince Gan was assassinated!"

"Uncle Fifteen?" Chu Zhiyuan's face changed slightly.

Youlan said hurriedly: "We don't know whether he is alive or dead. The palace is now sealed off and no news can get out!"

Chu Zhiyuan's face suddenly turned gloomy.

I never expected this to happen.

Fifteenth uncle Chu Honglin is a master in the Spirit Transformation Realm. Even though he was injured in the battlefield outside the domain, he is still in the Spirit Transformation Realm.

If you want to assassinate a master in the Spirit Transformation Realm, you must be a master in the Spirit Transformation Realm.

If such a master entered the imperial city, he would definitely be under the surveillance of the Imperial Observatory. How could he be assassinated successfully?

Could it be that the Imperial Observatory is really just there to do nothing?

Either the Imperial Observatory failed in its duty, or he escaped the Imperial Observatory's surveillance.

Who has this ability?
Big devil!
Chu Zhiyuan didn't rush to move, but closed his eyes and began to sense.

After the soul orb was activated, he tried to sense it but felt nothing.

There are no demon masters within ten miles around, it is clean.

Did all the demon masters seize the opportunity to escape, or were there no demon masters in the first place?
If there was a master demon, he would have sensed it long ago.

Does that mean the demon masters will run away as soon as they touch you, and escape thousands of miles away?

Or in other words, it was not done by the demons?
"Your Highness?" You Lan saw him standing there motionless, without any movement, and asked in confusion, "Why don't you go and take a look?"

Chu Zhiyuan looked in the direction of Prince Gan's Mansion and said in a deep voice, "Let's go and take a look."

It should be the Imperial Observatory that took action and used magic to cover the entire Prince Gan's Palace, making it impossible for the super-sensory perception to penetrate it.

A layer of smoke filled the air, obscuring Prince Gan’s mansion, making it impossible to tell what was inside or what was underneath.

"Yes." Youlan said hurriedly.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Let Li Yuzhen rest."

"...Yes." Youlan was startled and nodded quickly.

Li Yuzhen's identity is indeed somewhat sensitive at this time, and it is not appropriate for her to get close to Prince Gan's Mansion.

Chu Zhiyuan walked with his hands behind his back, slowly walked out of the Prince's Mansion, walked a mile south, and stopped in front of a royal palace.

At this time, the inner court guards had surrounded the palace, and Chu Zhiyuan was not stopped.

He walked up the steps, slowly stepped over the high threshold, turned around the screen wall, and entered the palace.

There was silence in the palace.

In the spacious vestibule, at the foot of the steps in front of the main hall, a group of princes and princesses were standing.

They stared at the hall anxiously, not in the mood to talk, but just looked around in silence.

Hearing the footsteps, they all looked up, and when they saw it was Chu Zhiyuan, they looked away.

Chu Zhiyuan came to the bottom of the stairs and stood in front of the eldest prince in the crowd: "Brother."

Chu Liechu sighed: "I wonder if Uncle Fifteen can make it this time."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "With the Great Light Heart Protecting Pill, it's okay."

“Great Light Heart Protecting Pill…” Chu Liechu shook his head helplessly: “It just so happens that there is no Great Light Heart Protecting Pill left, and you ate the last one.”

Chu Zhiyuan frowned.

Chu Liechu lowered his voice and said, "The medicinal ingredient needed for the Great Light Heart Protecting Pill happened to be missing, which delayed the refining and I couldn't catch up."

Chu Zhiyuan frowned: "Are there any other magical elixirs?"

It is impossible for such a huge court and royal family to not have a life-saving elixir.

At least the emperor and his important ministers have elixirs to protect them.

Chu Liechu said: "None of the exotic flowers and fruits in the cave are as magical as the Great Light Heart Protecting Pill."

Chu Zhiyuan looked towards the hall and stepped onto the stairs, but was stopped by two inner court guards.

Chu Zhiyuan glanced at the two of them and said, "I have a magic pill that can save Uncle Fifteen."

The two middle-aged inner court guards hesitated, looked at each other, and then one of them turned around and reported.

Chu Zhiyuan stood with his hands behind his back, waiting quietly.

After a moment, Chu Hongming came out solemnly.

Chu Zhiyuan asked, "Fifth Uncle, how is Fifteenth Uncle?"

Chu Hongming said expressionlessly: "Come in."

Chu Zhiyuan frowned and followed in.

There is still no way to take a clear picture inside the hall.
