Huangxiu

Chapter 716 Reaction
Li Miaotan handed the Soul-Controlling Pearl back to Li Yuzhen.

"Your Highness!" Li Yuzhen said dissatisfiedly: "The battlefield outside the domain is not here. It is full of dangers and we may be assassinated by the demons at any time!"

"I will ask my father for a spiritual weapon." Li Miaotan said.

"...Even if you have a spiritual weapon, it may not be as useful as the Soul Control Bead."

"Then you underestimate your father. I have done a great job this time. I will definitely be able to obtain a spiritual weapon."

She immediately smiled and said, "It can be considered as a blessing from him."

Li Yuzhen smiled and said, "The Prince Consort can still help, right?"

Li Miaotan glanced at her sideways and shook his head, "I really don't know how he managed to trick you."

Li Yuzhen said angrily: "Your Highness!"

Li Miaotan forced the jade pendant back into her hands: "It's still very dangerous for you to wear this around him. The demons may kill him at any time."

Li Yuzhen couldn't resist her firm hand and could only take it: "If they want to assassinate, their primary target is the Prince Consort. They won't assassinate me first."

One hit is sure to hit, and it will travel thousands of miles away.

This is the assassination style of the demon clan.

Facing his guard, the demon master would not easily take action and alarm the prince consort.

He will find a way to bypass me and assassinate the prince consort directly.

They can do this.

"Stop talking so much." Li Miaotan snorted.

Li Yuzhen stared at Li Miaotan seriously and said, "Your Highness, if you fail to obtain the spiritual weapon, you must borrow this from me."

"Okay, okay, okay." Li Miaotan waved her jade hand: "Father, don't be so stingy."

Li Yuzhen remained silent.

Of course she knew that the emperor was stingy. Whether it was silver or treasures, they could only go in but not out.

Once you enter the imperial treasury, it is extremely difficult to get out.

Meritorious officials are often rewarded without any cost. They can be promoted but cannot be rewarded with money or treasures.

Even though I dote on Your Highness very much, I have not rewarded him with any treasures or silver over the years.

Even if His Highness has made great achievements this time, even if he has to go to the battlefield outside the domain, the Emperor may not necessarily grant him a spiritual weapon.

She sighed secretly.

Who could have thought that the emperor of the Phoenix Dynasty, who was so wise and brave, and as brilliant as the sun, could be such a stingy person?

But as a subject, even if you see the truth, you cannot speak it out loud, otherwise it would be disrespectful and you will suffer the consequences.

No matter how stingy he is, the emperor's cultivation is the best in the world and is infinitely close to the level of a spiritual master.

Li Miaotan said: "Tell me more about the situation on the battlefield outside the domain. After these two days, I will set off once I find a way to break the demons' invasion of the cave heaven."

"The first thing to do in the outer battlefield is to change habits and concepts. Many people died not because of weak cultivation, but because their concepts were not changed and their habits were not corrected."

She continued, "Especially you, Your Highness, please be especially careful."

"I no longer use bodyguards recently. I am alone."

"But after all, we are still in the Imperial City, and we cannot really develop the habit of being alert at all times and not relaxing for even a moment."

“We’re already working on it.”

"I haven't tried hard enough, there's nothing I can do about it."

"I plan to go to the Yujing Dynasty and sneak in. This should help me develop the habit of being alert at all times, right?"

"This... is also good." Li Yuzhen hesitated and nodded slowly.

She felt more and more that this idea was brilliant.

The imperial capital of the Yujing Dynasty was peaceful and stable, but other places were not so peaceful.

There are too many martial arts masters, and they often resort to swords to settle grudges. There are also some who are evil by nature and do even greater evil.

But no matter how powerful these people are, they are nothing compared to the demons and monsters.

Going through these dangers first can not only train your vigilance and cultivate the ability to be alert at all times, but it is not that dangerous.

It's much better than going directly into the battlefield outside the domain.

Li Miaotan said: "I will also sneak into Yujing Imperial City to see if he is really as you said."

Li Yuzhen smiled and said, "The Prince Consort has always been rude and bad-tempered in front of outsiders."

Li Miaotan snorted and said, "He has always been that kind of person." "Your Highness will know once you see it with your own eyes." Li Yuzhen looked confident.

"Okay." Li Miaotan said, "I'll be there as soon as possible."

Li Yuzhen smiled.

-

The sun sets and the lights come on.

Dusk enveloped the imperial city, and lanterns were already lit.

The twilight and lights blend together, making the imperial city more prosperous and adding a bit of psychedelic atmosphere.

Chu Zhiyuan and Chu Honglin walked on the streets of the imperial city, feeling this unique atmosphere.

Faintly, I recalled the world of my previous life. It seemed like it was very long ago, yet it seemed like it was right in front of me.

Chu Honglin glanced around with a sharp gaze.

As the two walked, the guards around them were very far away, beyond the normal protection distance.

As a master in the Spirit Transformation Realm, Chu Honglin does not need any guards.

The guards following are to deal with the sudden appearance of the Demon Sect masters.

"It's been a rough few days, so we have to be careful."

"What happened again?"

"The search for the Demon Sect was too harsh, causing many of them to rebel."

Chu Zhiyuan was surprised.

The instigator turned out to be myself.

At the beginning, I suggested checking those who practiced magic, including but not limited to the devil sects, some singers, dancers and even prostitutes.

I feel that the demons are too well-informed and it must be them who did it.

Chu Zhiyuan immediately frowned and said, "Do they still have the guts to stir up trouble?"

"How can a martial artist, especially one who practices magic, willingly be investigated?"

"Someone is taking this opportunity to cause trouble, right?" Chu Zhiyuan said, "They want to eliminate dissidents."

The Outer Court Guards and the City Guards should be responsible for this matter.

The two families share responsibilities, check and supervise each other, which is also the common practice of the court.

Even so, it is inevitable that some people will take the opportunity to eliminate dissidents and mix in personal grudges.

"Yes, something happened," Chu Honglin sighed, "It caused all the demon sects to be angry and distrust the imperial court. They have been pretending to obey and secretly causing trouble."

Chu Zhiyuan asked: "How should the court deal with it?"

"Whoever dares to show up will be dealt with." Chu Honglin said: "These people who practice magic skills really need to be punished. They are a hidden danger."

After the imperial court's rectification, it was discovered that practitioners of evil skills were prone to getting into trouble.

Of course, not all practitioners of magic are like this, but most of them are.

The influence of magic skills on one's mind is particularly great, greater than other martial arts techniques.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Is there any master who practices magic to assassinate you, Uncle Fifteen?"

Chu Honglin snorted, "Even if they were given a hundred courages, they wouldn't dare!"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and shook his head: "That may not be the case. Once we risk our lives, there is nothing we dare not do. Huh?!"

He suddenly turned his head and looked to the left.

On the left is a small alley, narrow and winding, with a bluestone floor and mottled and weathered bluestone walls on both sides.

Chu Honglin and he had a very good understanding and reacted very quickly. After all, they had fought on a battlefield outside the domain before.

When Chu Zhiyuan turned his head, he was already alert and fully aware.

The momentum has begun to surge, and spiritual energy is gathering from all directions like dark clouds.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "She was scared away."

"Is there really someone spying on us?" Chu Honglin did not relax his vigilance and was still gathering his aura.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "It should be some kind of secret technique, to spy on the truth and prepare for assassination...If it's not from the demon clan, then it must be from the Demon Sect or the Demon Clan."

Chu Honglin's face darkened.
