I, Tianlaozhen Wangu, support the Empress from behind!

"Cough cough..."

A hundred miles outside Tianjing City, on an uninhabited hilltop, a black shadow fell from mid-air.

"Sword Maniac, your reputation is well-deserved!"

The black shadow was the man in black who had escaped here after being stabbed by a sword from the Demon Prison.

"Mr. Huang, was it Qin Huaiyuan who asked you to capture me?!" The white-haired old woman was Xia Chanyi, but now her strength could only be maintained at the ninth rank, and it was difficult for her to speak a few words.

The moment her strength deteriorates to the point of training strength, that will be the time of her death.

The man in black did not respond. He was trying his best to recover from his injuries. If he had not restrained his strength at the last moment when the sword maniac attacked him, he would probably have died with hatred in his heart.

However, even after the man in black recovered for half a cup of tea, his internal injuries did not improve much. The sword maniac was indeed the person closest to the second-grade Martial Saint in the Monster Refining Division.

The sword intent remaining in his body would take at least a month to dissipate.

After all, he was close to being a third-grade grandmaster, but had not truly entered this realm. He was also not like the Sword Demon, who could fight against the six-tailed fox demon at the grandmaster level as a half-step grandmaster.

"Cough cough..."

"Mr. Huang, you watched him grow up. Let him stop. He is destined to fail!" Xia Chanyi looked at the man in black and advised him.

Why did the former Crown Prince Qin Huaiyuan go to such great lengths to rescue her? This idea was all too familiar to her. He simply wanted to use the Gu Clan's evil mind technique at the last moment to force her to dig out the White Lotus Sansheng Flower from Changning's body with her own hands.

But the White Lotus Three-Life Flower is Changning's life-saving thing!

Back then, she and Qin Huaiyuan got to know each other, fell in love, and finally had Changning.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. When she was eight months pregnant, she was ambushed by the Blood God Cult, which caused her to lose both her Qi and blood, and eventually Changning gave birth prematurely. For this reason, she betrayed her master's trust, stole the White Lotus Sansheng Flower, and rebelled against the White Lotus Cult.

When Xia Chanyi thought of her master, a tear of unknown feeling flowed from her eyes. Her master was still locked in the Wangu Cave because of her.

She hated herself. She shouldn't have left the Holy Church, and she shouldn't have fallen in love with this man. Thinking of this, she decided to die. Only she could die.

Then Qin Huaiyuan would not succeed.

Changning's life can be guaranteed.

"Ahem... Madam, although this old slave is seriously injured, you will never be able to die in front of this old slave. The master wants to see you..."

"Mr. Huang, Changning grew up under your care. Can you really bear it?" Xia Chanyi couldn't help but ask.

"Ahem..." Mr. Huang just coughed a few times uncomfortably without saying anything. The innocent smile of the little girl flashed through his mind, along with a few words, "Grandpa Huang..."

Unfortunately, the master's heart has been possessed by the devil, and no one can persuade him back.

As an old servant, he was even less qualified to persuade her, "Miss, I'm sorry..."

The Queen's sweet smile from the past flashed through Old Huang's mind. It was a pity that good people didn't live long. If it weren't for that, the Master wouldn't have become like this...

"cough…"

"Come out!"

Old Huang's eyes suddenly narrowed, and then he looked at the gap between the rubble on the side.

After a while, a handsome man walked out from behind the rubble. It was Chu He who came following the scent.

After he arranged the affairs of the Ninth Princess, he went to the prison warden Wang Yucheng and made an excuse that he was seriously injured and wanted to go back to recuperate. Seeing his appearance, the prison warden Wang Yucheng did not doubt him too much. He waved his hand and told him to be careful.

After Chu He came out of the Demon Prison, he flashed a few times and chased after him.

"Let him go, and I'll leave your body intact!" Chu He said calmly. He had been here for some time, and he had heard everything he should and shouldn't have heard. He made no comment on the former prince's character.

But the man in front of him was a half-step grandmaster, and he was not sure he could control him, so it would be easy for him to get into trouble, so he had better kill him to be done with it!

"Ahem... since when did a mere fifth-grade cultivator dare to act so presumptuously in front of this old man?"

Before he finished speaking, Mr. Huang disappeared from the spot.

"Extremely fast movement?" Chu He closed his eyes. Since I couldn't catch it with my naked eyes, I would use my mind's eye to find it!

"Boom...bang..."

Got you!

"Break the boundary..." Chu He roared, and with a stomption of his foot, a deep pit immediately exploded on the ground. With the help of this external force, he moved his body and a knife shadow flashed across, creating a flash of lightning in the dark night.

Chi-

A head immediately flew up, with disbelief still on its face, and bright red blood spilled all over the ground.

"You...how is it possible???" Xia Chanyi who was standing aside was stunned. This was a late-stage third-grade grandmaster. Even if he was seriously injured, he could not be killed by just any random person.

And what just happened?

A mere fifth-grade rank, as Old Huang said? He chopped off his head with one blow? Wasn't this "fifth-grade rank" a bit exaggerated?

Xia Chanyi was filled with mixed thoughts for a moment.

Chu He dealt with the corpse with an expressionless face. Fortunately, he later asked someone to buy some materials outside and secretly prepared the corpse-dissolving powder.

The corpse-dissolving powder he mixed himself was countless times better than the ones he had found before. It could be called the best medicine for destroying corpses and erasing all traces of the body. Just sprinkle two drops on it and there would not be a trace of blood or corpse water left on the corpse, and there would not be any disgusting corpse odor.

Xia Chanyi watched Chu He dispose of the body, and she didn't know what to feel in her heart. This young man didn't look like a good person.

"Xia Chanyi, right?" Chu He pretended to be in deep thought for a moment before speaking, "My name is Jiangnan, and I'm from the same lineage as the Ninth Princess. Also, Chu He is my junior apprentice brother."

"Also, I'm a good person! Hehe..."

Chu He looked at the gradually surprised look in her eyes and couldn't help laughing.

"Puchi..." Although Xia Chanyi is now an old woman in her seventies, her voice is still like that of an eighteen-year-old girl.

"Let's go. If you have anything to say, we can discuss it in detail when we get back to the Ninth Princess!"

Xia Chanyi nodded, and then Chu He gently picked her up, leaped into the air, turned into a beam of light, and disappeared into the night sky.

……

bang——

"You said Master Huang can't find anyone?" The handsome man was furious when he heard this. He smashed the rosewood coffee table in front of him, then stared at the guards on the ground and said viciously, "Keep looking. If you can't find Master Huang's people, you don't have to come back!"

And here in the Demon Prison.

After the people from the Monster Refining Department arrived, several fourth-grade people from the evil sects, five third-grade masters on the ground, and some fifth- and sixth-grade scum were all arrested without exception. Next, it depends on what valuable information the Monster Refining Department can dig out through their interrogation methods.

Anyway, it will definitely be a good harvest.

The six-tailed fox demon, after sensing the sword energy of Sword Maniac, fled without looking back, which made Sword Demon regretful. His path to enlightenment was ruined. If Sword Maniac had come a moment later, he was convinced that he would have been able to break through to the Grandmaster realm this time!

As for the casualties in the Monster Refining Prison, due to prior arrangements, the situation was much better than before. Dozens of people were killed by the aura of high-level warriors on the ground floor, and more than a dozen jailers and two unlucky prison officials died in the inner prison. The rest were seriously or slightly injured.

"Your Highness the Ninth Princess, please take a seat!"

In the reception hall of the inner prison, dozens of old men were sitting on both sides, and the Ninth Princess was sitting in the main seat. She had originally delayed it, but even the Sword Demon was unwilling to sit in the main seat, so she had to sit there.

"Thank you all for your hard work this time. This princess will report everything to my father, so that your efforts will not be in vain..."

The Ninth Princess has another identity in the Demon Refining Division, and the Sword Demon and the Sword Maniac know it, so they didn't say anything, and the people below will have no objections either.

After some polite exchanges, the conversation lasted until late at night, and the Ninth Princess left the reception hall of the inner prison.

After watching the Ninth Princess leave, everyone in the hall was still shocked for a long time.

Through today's conversation, they could all sense that the Ninth Princess was different from the rumors.

Maybe a hundred times better?!

As for the deeper meaning of the conversation, they didn't dare to think about it, nor did they want to think about it.

The Demon Refining Division has always fought independently for the throne, and this time is no exception!

Only the Sword Demon and the Sword Maniac exchanged glances, and both of them sighed in their hearts.

There are some things that you can't avoid just because you want to.

There is a mountain villa.

Chu He waited in the inner courtyard hall for an hour, and then a maid came to report that Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess had returned.
