Huangxiu

Chapter 735 Change
Li Yuzhen watched her leave and shook her head helplessly.

Your Highness is too reserved. This is in the Yujing Dynasty, not the Fenghuang Dynasty. What's wrong with meeting once?

After all, aren't you just shy?

Compared to the behavior of other princesses, Her Highness is too cold and conservative.

Her eyes then fell on the sword dancing women, and she seemed to be thinking about something.

Those women were lithe and graceful, their sword-wielding postures elegant and agile, like fairies from heaven banished to the mortal world.

The drinkers in Qionghua Tower cheered and were intoxicated.

Li Yuzhen's expression gradually became serious.

This kind of swordsmanship is extraordinary. The sword techniques may seem simple, but they have grasped the essence.

It's definitely worth checking out.

……

At noon, Chu Zhiyuan and Chu Honglin came to Qingfeng Cliff again, basking in the bright sunshine.

"My brother didn't agree." Chu Honglin shook his head: "In the end, we still have to ban the magic skills and the magic sect."

Chu Zhiyuan frowned: "The disciples of Feiyun Sect are going to abandon their cultivation?"

"Don't move them for now. Use them as bait to lure out other demon sects, and then capture them all in one fell swoop."

"Aren't you afraid of losing control?"

"My brother doesn't think they can get out of control. Anyway, the Great Demon is no longer in the Imperial City, so there is nothing to be afraid of."

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "The power of the Demon Sect does not entirely lie in the Great Heavenly Demon."

He continued, "The threshold for magic skills is low, and progress is fast, but it is easy to get stuck in the state of artistic conception and it is difficult to break through... But for many people, being able to evolve to the state of artistic conception is already a rare achievement, and they are satisfied."

"Of course my royal brother understands this." Chu Honglin said.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "Uncle Fifteen, I don't think Father really understands."

Chu Honglin frowned and looked at him: "My royal brother is so wise and powerful, how could I not understand?"

Chu Zhiyuan said: "It is precisely because of my father's behavior that he cannot understand the despair and excitement of those with weak talents."

"Hmm..." Chu Honglin murmured.

That's true, but unless you experience it yourself, you really can't empathize with it.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Father cannot truly understand their desire for cultivation, their emphasis on magic skills, and their deep feelings for the Demon Sect."

He snorted and said, "In their eyes, the Demon Sect is the real famous and upright sect, while the imperial court and the major sects put profit first and throw feelings aside. They are outright villains."

Chu Honglin chuckled.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "They are sincere in their cultivation and honest with their fellow disciples. They are not as utilitarian and hypocritical as the famous and upright sects."

"Ridiculous!" Chu Honglin snorted.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "They act in an extreme way and are easily impulsive, so they are easily emotional. When they see the people in the court and the major clans, they feel that everyone is cold and heartless."

Chu Honglin frowned and said, "What nonsense!"

Chu Zhiyuan sighed and shook his head, "This is what the disciples of the Demon Sect think. I didn't understand it at first. I thought that destroying their magic skills would eliminate the influence of their magic skills. Now it seems that I was too naive."

At first, he only thought that the disciples of the Demon Sect were everywhere, and the demons could easily influence the Demon Sect.

Therefore, it is believed that the magic power should be abolished, the magic sect should be disbanded, and the hidden dangers should be eliminated.

But now that he understood the thoughts of the Feiyun Sect disciples, he changed his original idea.

Chu Honglin said: "Then we must destroy their magic power."

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "People who practice magic skills often have ordinary talents. After the magic skills are abolished, they will have difficulty practicing other mental methods. Even if they don't have magic skills at that time, they will still be full of resentment."

Chu Honglin frowned and asked, "Could they do something wrong again?"

"If it's just them, it's fine. But I'm afraid that the resentment accumulated from generation to generation will lead to some powerful geniuses erupting, which will be extremely detrimental to the dynasty."

"What's more, there are probably many more people practicing magic than you think."

He had an idea, and after observing, he found that there were people practicing magic almost everywhere.

There are many more people than you might imagine who cannot practice formal mental methods, cannot join a sect, cannot enroll in a martial arts school, and do not have family martial arts.

Those who have martial arts passed down from their families have long since become middle-class people, and those who enter sects and martial arts schools can also enter the upper-middle class. Those at the bottom of the class make up the largest number of people, and their only hope is magic skills.

If they are deprived of the path of spiritual practice, how can they not be filled with resentment?

If resentment continues from generation to generation, it will inevitably shake the foundation of the court.

Chu Honglin looked solemn.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Father, you don't know about these things, right? I'm afraid you don't bother to understand them, and your eyes are only on the four major clans and the court officials."

"...I'll mention this to my brother." Chu Honglin said solemnly, "If it's really that serious, it will be really troublesome."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Look at the Phoenix Dynasty and see how they deal with it. They have been in power for a longer time and have more experience."

"Yes." Chu Honglin nodded: "Another cave will be opened soon, you have to go in."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Uncle Fifteen, if I leave the Imperial City, what will happen to the Cave Heaven?"

Chu Honglin shook his head helplessly: "The Imperial Observatory must have a way."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Then just go to the Imperial Observatory, why bother looking for me?"

"There is no one below the Spiritual Transformation Realm in the Imperial Observatory." Chu Honglin said, "It will be very dangerous if you go in."

If the masters of the Imperial Observatory want to enter the cave, they need to use magical skills to seal their cultivation and avoid leaking the aura of the venerable.

Regressing to the state of transformation, one is extremely unfamiliar with the state and can easily fall into the hands of the demons.

Under the same realm, demon masters often have the upper hand. If they are connected by soul beads and attack together, it will be more troublesome.

Chu Zhiyuan possesses the Great Demon Subduing Seal and is good at subduing demons, so he is naturally the best candidate.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "I hope nothing goes wrong with the Imperial Observatory after I leave."

Chu Honglin said helplessly: "Regarding the matter of you not going to the Phoenix Dynasty, my brother is already fed up with me and won't allow me to say this."

He has repeatedly persuaded people to create a substitute for Chu Zhiyuan and let the substitute go to the Phoenix Dynasty.

As a result, no one could persuade him.

Until now, whenever this was mentioned, the emperor would frown and drive him away.

He didn't believe it and asked twice again, but after being turned away twice, he had to give up.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Then don't persuade me. I know my father's temperament. The more I persuade him, the more determined he becomes. He originally wanted to change, but now he won't change after being persuaded."

"Alas..." Chu Honglin felt extremely regretful.

As the wedding day got closer, he became more and more reluctant to leave Chu Zhiyuan.

……

In the evening, when Chu Zhiyuan returned to the courtyard of the prince's mansion to have dinner, Li Yuzhen came over.

"My Lord, I have figured out their origins."

"Which sect is it from?"

Chu Zhiyuan raised the jade cup and took a sip of the wine, then asked calmly.

"The Green Bamboo Sect is a small sect, and the ones that they practice are indeed demonic skills."

"Bizhu Sect... Do you know the situation of the Demon Sect near the Imperial City?"

"There are countless demon sects near the imperial city," Li Yuzhen said, "big and small sects, even three or five people form a sect, and they only practice one kind of demonic skill, and that is the Supreme Heavenly Demon Strategy."

Chu Zhiyuan frowned.

"Using the Supreme Heavenly Demon Strategy as the foundation, it is combined with various martial arts to form a sect or school, which is extremely chaotic."

"Is there a top-notch demon sect?"

"The Feiyun Sect is the best, right? There is also the Canyang Sect, which is also the best. The other demon sects are really not worth mentioning."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly.

"My Lord, His Highness said that our dynasty once banned the Demon Sect, but later ignored it. The disadvantages of banning it are even greater."

"I see." Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly.

Now it depends on whether his words are effective and whether they can make the emperor change his mind.
