On the other side, the fierce battle between Zhao Haoxuan and Zhao Yidao was still in full swing, as if it was a thrilling life-and-death contest, spreading like surging waves across the empty battlefield.

Zhao Yidao's cold eyes swept across the corpses on the ground like cold stars. Seeing the men he had carefully brought with him die one by one, his attacks became more and more crazy and fierce.

He pulled out a magically glowing pill from his bosom and stuffed it into his mouth without hesitation. Within moments, his entire aura underwent a dramatic change, and immense power surged forth like a flood.

Immediately afterwards, a bloodthirsty light flashed in his eyes, and with endless murderous intent, he slapped Zhao Haoxuan fiercely.

The palm wind whizzed past, as if carrying a thousand pounds of force. Zhao Haoxuan felt like he had suffered a heavy blow, and his body flew backwards involuntarily. He could no longer control the blood in his mouth, and a stream of blood mixed with the pain of internal organs spurted out like a fountain, drawing a shocking arc in the air.

Zhao Haoxuan's heart paled with shock. He had never expected the other man to be able to so dramatically increase his strength in an instant with the aid of a medicinal elixir. However, he had no intention of retreating. He immediately mobilized all his potential and unleashed his true strength. Then, he struck Zhao Yidao with a palm as swift as the wind.

Zhao Yidao couldn't dodge in time and retreated two meters as if struck hard. He was filled with astonishment. "You are at the third level of the Spiritual Realm? How is that possible? In just one year, you've broken through from a Martial Master to this level..."

His originally hideous face was now as if frozen by frost, filled with an expression of disbelief, and the shock and fear in his heart grew and spread like wild weeds.

The battle continued. As time passed quietly, the medicinal properties in Zhao Yidao's body began to slowly dissipate. Gradually, his movements became clumsy, as if his hands and feet were bound, and he was no longer as agile and nimble as before.

The dagger in Zhao Haoxuan's hand was like a deadly cold ray, piercing Zhao Yidao's chest without hesitation. Blood gushed out instantly, staining his clothes red. Zhao Yidao's eyes widened in disbelief. He had never imagined that he would be defeated so completely that he couldn't even convey the news that the prince was a son-in-law.

As Zhao Yidao's body slowly fell, the fierce battle finally came to an end. The air was filled with the thick smell of blood and tension. Everyone stood there in silence, as if they were shocked by the scene before them and couldn't recover for a long time.

At this time, Wang Xinyao finally succeeded in saving everyone with the help of silver needles, and gave each person a spirit gathering pill made with spiritual spring water. The effect of everyone's injuries was visibly recovering, and they were able to move freely after a while.

Seeing Zhao Yidao fall, Wang Xinyao immediately dragged her exhausted body, almost losing its strength, and trotted to Zhao Haoxuan's side, her eyes flashing with anxiety and concern: "Brother Zhao, are you okay?"

"I'm fine!" Zhao Haoxuan shook his head. He looked at Wang Xinyao, who was covered in bruises and was busy treating everyone regardless of her own injuries. An indescribable sense of guilt and heartache welled up in his heart: "Xinyao, I'm sorry, I'm a burden to you!"

At the same time, he secretly made up his mind to eradicate those treacherous and evil people in the court and seek peace for the people of the world.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, may the Crown Prince live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!" Xu Ping and Ye Fan led a group of personal guards to kneel down like a tide, and the shouts were deafening, as if they were going to break through the sky.

The crisis was finally resolved, and their long-cherished master grew up like a phoenix rising from the ashes.

At this time, Xie Xiaogang and the other young people in Xiejia Village were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped. When they heard that it was the prince, they were scared like frightened rabbits and knelt down.

"Everyone, get up!" Zhao Haoxuan looked at everyone, feeling a surge of emotion. He said, "Everyone has worked hard these days. The risks we face in the future will be even greater. Are you all ready?"

"Thank you, Your Highness. We are all ready and willing to serve you at our whim." The guards shouted in unison and stood up, their voices echoing through the woods.

Xie Xiaogang also knelt on his knees, his heart filled with anxiety and uneasiness. How could he dare to stand up easily? His hands carefully approached the corner of Wang Xinyao's clothes, and he asked softly with a tentative voice: "Sister...sister, is my brother-in-law really...really His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Wang Xinyao turned her head slightly, then nodded gently, and said seriously, "I'll explain clearly to the brothers later. The identity of the prince must not be revealed to anyone. If the news leaks out, our entire Xie Village will face unimaginable disaster!"

Xie Xiaogang's expression instantly grew serious upon hearing this. He was fully aware of the seriousness of the matter and quickly responded, "Yes, sister! We will all keep this a secret and will never reveal the Crown Prince's identity in the slightest!"

After the two thrilling crises, they seemed to have grown up a lot overnight and understood what responsibility and protection meant.

At this moment, Zhao Haoxuan slowly turned his head, his gaze fixed on Xie Xiaogang and the others. He looked at their slightly disheveled yet resolute appearances, and a strange feeling of emotion welled up in his heart. He said, "You all should get up too. You've performed exceptionally well today, demonstrating extraordinary courage and commitment. You're all great."

Hearing the prince's praise full of appreciation and encouragement, those young men who were originally a little reserved and shy seemed to be instantly injected with a magical power, and their eyes suddenly sparkled with bright light.

"As long as you follow me loyally in the future, I will definitely not treat you unfairly." Zhao Haoxuan continued.

Xie Xiaogang and the others responded in unison: "Thank you, Your Highness! We are willing to serve you at our utmost!"

After Wang Xinyao took the Spirit Gathering Pill, her strength recovered quickly, so she began to search the bags of Zhao Yidao and others. This shocked all the guards so much that their jaws almost dropped.

Wang Xinyao ignored everyone's strange looks. She secretly sighed in her heart: If you don't manage the household, you really don't know how expensive oil, rice, firewood and salt are.

Her search was as fast as lightning, and Xie Xiaogang immediately followed suit. Even the usually calm prince was inspired by her impetuous spirit and joined her search team without hesitation!

The guards looked at each other in bewilderment, secretly wondering in their hearts: Is this still their old prince who was so graceful and elegant?
