Chapter 857 Marriage
She has the blood of the phoenix and can be reborn from the ashes, but it would be a terrifying thing for her to be eaten bite by bite by someone.

Despite her top-notch skills, she was able to escape in an emergency.

But there are always unexpected things in the world.

When facing such a crazy encirclement and hunt, it is better to avoid it.

But where can a retreat be as good as practicing in a battlefield outside the domain?
He asked curiously, "Where are you going to retreat?"

Li Miaotan said: "There is a strange place called the Divine Flame Valley."

Chu Zhiyuan searched quickly in his mind, but found nothing.

There is no memory of the Divine Flame Valley in my mind.

He raised his eyebrows.

"This is a relic, said to be an ancient place that exists to this day."

"Is it not dangerous?"

"There are remnants of divine flames in this valley." Li Miaotan shook his head slightly: "It is extremely dangerous, but it is of infinite benefit to me."

"Divine flame..." Chu Zhiyuan pondered.

Li Miaotan said: "If everything goes well, the purity of the bloodline can be improved, and the practice will be faster."

The Phoenix bloodline cannot directly improve the realm of cultivation, but it can accelerate the speed of realm improvement.

If the purity of blood can be improved, the realm will be improved faster.

"That's good!" Chu Zhiyuan said, "Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood."

"But the two of us..."

"We have a lot of time ahead of us." Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile, "Thousands of years are possible, so this moment won't make a difference."

"Then my husband should be careful when going to the battlefield outside the domain."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "They are the ones who should be careful."

If I could really go to the battlefield outside the domain, it would be like a dragon entering the sea or a fish entering the water.

I heard that there are many adventures in the battlefield outside the domain, and you will encounter many strange things.

He was so anxious that he wanted to set off right away.

Li Miaotan shook his head and said, "Although the Swift Light Sword is powerful, it is also very dangerous and cannot be relied upon."

"I'll be careful." Chu Zhiyuan said.

While the two were talking, Li Cunren came to visit again.

Let him go to Chu Zhiyuan's courtyard.

Li Cunren put down his teacup, his expression solemn: "Father asked the Fengtian Palace to investigate, and this rumor was spread by Yuanzhen."

"Is it really Yuanzhen?" Li Miaotan's face darkened.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

I originally thought there would be a reversal, but there wasn't. It was indeed Yuan Zhen's doing.

Li Miaotan asked coldly: "Which one of Yuanzhen?"

"The fifth prince."

“Cheng Yunzheng…” Chu Zhiyuan frowned and said, “I’ve dealt with you once, but you still haven’t given up. You’re really vicious!”

At first, Yuanzhen wanted to replace himself and become Li Miaotan's son-in-law.

I was fully prepared to defeat myself and force myself to retreat, but in the end I was defeated by myself.

In the end, he could only return to Yuanzhen in shame and never mention the matter again.

Now it seems that what cannot be obtained must be destroyed, especially the Phoenix bloodline.

"This Cheng Yunzheng is also a powerful person." Li Cunren shook his head and said, "He is a threat to Cheng Yunhai."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

With such sinister means, coupled with his good qualifications and cultivation, he is definitely going to compete for the throne.

"It seems that this time, Yuan Zhen's envoy includes Cheng Yunzheng."

"Yuan Zhen is coming as an envoy?"

"To discuss the marriage."

Chu Zhiyuan and Li Miaotan both looked at him curiously.

Li Cunren then told this matter.

Yuanzhen took the initiative to ask for a marriage alliance, wanting to marry a Princess Yuanzhen to the prince of the Phoenix Dynasty.

"Who will marry this princess?" Chu Zhiyuan asked.

Li Miaotan asked: "Which princess?"

The two said almost in unison.

Li Cunren laughed: "You two really have different ideas."

Li Miaotan smiled and said, "Brother, who wants to marry Yuanzhen's princess?"

Li Cunren laughed and said, "Men and women do think differently... Third brother wants to marry Princess Yuanzhen."

"Third brother?!" The smile on Li Miaotanyu's face suddenly stopped.

Li Cunren nodded: "Father has decided to let my third brother marry the thirteenth Princess Yuanzhen."

"The Thirteenth Princess..." Chu Zhiyuan said, "She's not very old, right?"

"It's about the same as the twelfth sister." Li Cunren said, "It's because my third brother has never married. This time, father has made up his mind and insisted that my third brother get married." The third brother has never married for all these years because he thinks getting married will affect his cultivation.

Being alone and free, I was able to practice without any worries and make rapid progress.

If you continue like this, you will surpass me.

Now that his father has allowed him to get married, it is indeed a great pleasure to the people, and everyone in the court and the country agrees.

It is very likely that this time, the emperor is also giving his third brother a warning.

After all, a powerful prince consort suddenly appeared on the third brother's side. He killed the demons and monsters like cutting grass, and his momentum suddenly grew.

Under such circumstances, letting the third brother marry Princess Yuanzhen Thirteen would be to suppress him.

My father is extremely skilled in this kind of balancing act and has mastered it to perfection.

"My third brother married Princess Yuanzhen Thirteen," Li Miaotan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Father is really..."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Congratulations, big brother."

Li Cunren grinned and waved his hands: "What is there to congratulate? Marrying Princess Yuanzhen Thirteen doesn't mean anything."

"Brother, you are so hypocritical." Li Miaotan said unhappily, "This has a huge impact."

She shook her head and sighed.

It seems I have to go to the palace to see my mother. I guess she is very angry.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, “Second brother probably isn’t that happy.”

“Haha…” Li Cunren laughed, “When it comes to hypocrisy, my second brother is better.”

Li Miaotan smiled and said, "Second brother will definitely not be so happy this time."

Li Cunren smiled and said, "Actually, whether this incident happened or not, I understand it."

He understood that his real opponent was the Second Prince, and the Third Prince was just joining in the fun.

The third prince himself had no ambition and was tired of the intrigues, so he found it troublesome to be the emperor.

The reason we are on guard is that we know that people's minds are fickle and they may change their minds at any time when provoked.

Moreover, there have been many unexpected events in history, where people who were originally unlikely to become emperors happened to become emperors.

Chu Zhiyuan asked: "When will the Yuanzhen envoys arrive?"

"It's coming soon. It's only three or four days."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "I want to meet this fifth prince!"

"It's a pity that I have to go into seclusion." Li Miaotan shook his head.

She couldn't wait for the day when Yuan Zhen's delegation would arrive.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Madam, don't worry, I will avenge you."

"He is an envoy after all," said Li Miaotan.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I understand. Of course, I won't do it in the Imperial City."

Li Cunren asked, "Brother-in-law, when are you going to take action?"

"Let's go on their way." Chu Zhiyuan said, "Prevent them from reaching the Imperial City."

"By the way, destroy the marriage?" Li Cunren said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, this trick is useless."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "While they are trying to arrange a marriage, they are using such a sinister trick. Are they just going to let him go? Are they treating the Phoenix Dynasty like fools?"

"...That's right." Li Cunren thought about it and nodded: "We really need to show him how powerful we are."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Brother, please say hello to the emperor. If the emperor objects, I will not take action."

"Okay." Li Cunren agreed readily.

Even if the fifth prince was killed, it would not affect the marriage between the two dynasties.

If my brother-in-law wants to vent my younger sister's anger, then let him do it.

……

Early in the morning, Li Miaotan and Chu Zhiyuan left the imperial city and headed for the Divine Flame Valley.

In addition to Fu Zheng and Li Yuzhen, there are two other worshippers who are also venerable ones.

The group walked out of the East City Gate, stepped onto the treetops, and walked in a straight line, climbing over mountains and wading through water.

After three days of traveling in one go, we arrived smoothly at the foot of a bare mountain.

This is a mountain range formed by more than a dozen peaks, stretching for more than ten miles, all of which are bare.

The entire mountain range is made of pitch-black stones, creating a huge sense of oppression.

As soon as you get close to the mountains, you can feel the burning heat, as if it is going to burn your clothes.

This is the destination.

Chu Zhiyuan sensed the danger and did not move forward.

He could not withstand the flames of this mountain. His Moon Silkworm Frost Robe could block it, but this fire was not just external fire, but involved the mind and spirit.

The two said goodbye reluctantly.

Before leaving, Li Miaotan asked him not to force it.

If the emperor does not allow him to take revenge on the fifth prince Yuanzhen, then he should wait.

Chu Zhiyuan agreed readily.
